Comfortable and Gorgeous
I rented this for a black tie wedding - I am fairly short (5'4") so I was very concerned that all the gowns would be too long on me. I rented this in a 6R and an 8R - the 6R fit perfectly and was super comfortable all night. The length was great - I wore ~3.5 inch heels. The 8R was slight looser/baggier through the stomach area and it was too long. I loved the sheer back and sheer bottom of this. I wore a sticky bra but probably could have gotten away without it - there was boning and good structure to the front underlay. Tons of compliments - loved it!

Much prettier and flattering than anticipated!
I rented this in Vegas and after having heard reviews from other friends who have tried Herve Leger bandage dresses, I wasn't convinced this was going to fit or do me any favors in the "flattering" department. I was totally wrong - it fit like a glove and the print and fabric were exceptionally flattering. The design in the bandage helped mask any imperfections and the color was really pretty. I actually really liked the thick fabric and was comfortable dancing all night. I'll certainly give other bandage dresses a try after this one!

Super sexy and comfortable dress
I rented this for a trip to Vegas with my husband and friends and to be honest, I wasn't in love with it when I ordered it but I figured I'd give it a try. I ordered the 4 and 6 - both fit, but the 6 was a little more comfortable. I ended up wearing it out and got so many compliments - my husband loved it so much I'm trying to find it online to buy! The fabric is amazing - stretchy but on the thicker side so it hides imperfections. The high neck is conservative but the lace cutouts and lace make are the perfect balance for those. I wore a backless sticky bra (just b/c I needed some cushioning) and it was great. Overall a great rental and dress!

Adds a little flair to basic pants and tank!
I rented this to wear for New Year's Eve in NYC; we were going to dinner and to a local bar - nothing super dressy but I wanted something fun to kick my outfit up. I wore this with leather pants and a plain red camisole - it was really cute and very flattering. The length covered my rear and the feathers weren't too fluffy - they were just the right ticket for the night. It fit perfectly through the shoulders and arms; If i'd had to keep it buttoned all night it may have been a little snug in the hips but I left it open. I'd definitely rent this again!

Cute but SUPER short
This dress was made of really thick material which was great b/c I wore it to an Italian dinner and I didn't have to worry about anything "hanging out"....except my rear end. The dress was SO SO SO short. I'm not a tall person but this was really short on me - I wore it in Vegas b/c it was Vegas but was slightly self-consious while walking in the casino. I really liked the fabric and the dress but it could have been a few inches longer.

Obsessed with this dress!
I am obsessing over this dress and currently try to find it online to buy! I loved it! it ran very large - I wore the 2 and I am not normally a 2. It fit perfectly though - not too snug in the hips or big/small on top. I dressed it up with nude heels and wore it in Vegas and but it would look cute with flats too. The color was so pretty too - overall a great and comfy dress!

Big on top - name does it no justice!
This was a replacement romper b/c the one I rented wasn't available at the last minute. I hesitated b/c of the name "gym short romper" doesn't exactly scream Vegas vacation. However, it was super cute in person with a nude satin underlay and black lace overlay. I loved that you could leave open multiple buttons on the front for a low cut feel (or not) and the back was really sexy with the open center. It was really cute but it ran a bit big on me - the top in particular was huge and baggy. I could have worn it but I didn't love it.

Adore this dress - second time renting!
I love this dress so much! I had previously rented it in black and this time went for the coral. The color was amazing and the fit was perfect. I wore the medium (as I'd done in the black). I'm 5'5", 135 lbs and a 34b. It was perfect for Vegas - I got so many compliments. It's so comfortable too - I may have to go buy one of these dresses. Perfection!

LOVED this dress!
I rented this dress in both the 6 and the 8 based on some of the prior reviews. I'm so glad I had the 8. I could have worn the 6 but the arms were SO SNUG (and I don't have big or long arms). I wore the 8 and was much more comfortable. I can wear a small or 4 in some dresses, but am typically a standard 6. I do have somewhat broad shoulders so maybe that contributed to the arm issue with the 6. I'd suggest going a size up.

Perfect for Vegas Bachelorette party!
I rented this in both a medium and small - I must have seen that it may run large. It does not! It fits VERY snug and there is no way I could have gotten into the small. I'm 5'4", 130 lbs, 34B and the medium fit well and looked cute. I couldn't wear a bra but it didn't really matter - the nude underlayer fits very tight (yet still comfy b/c it's stretchy) and the outerlayer covers any real imperfections (belly, wobbly bum, lack of bra). It was really very comfortable and I wore it for almost 12 hours - to dinner, in a club and dancing. It was a perfect dress for Vegas.

Cute dress; seemed a little 'used'
I rented a 4 and a 6 in this dress for an engagement party. I tend to wear either a 4 or 6 in dresses and in this one, I ended up wearing the 4 as the overall fit was a little better and not so boxy. I paired it with black tights and heels. It was a cute dress but I think it's seen better days - the dress seemed to be a little 'worn out'. The black fabric looked like it had been laundered a few times and the colors overall just seemed a little off. It's an easy dress to wear and was fine for the event.

Super cute shift dress - perfect for girls night out!
The reviews on the sizing of this were dead-on - I am normally or 4 or 6 in dresses and I rented both the XS and Small in this dress. I was absolutely swimming in the small; the XS was even a little big on me but it still looked cute. It's short but definately not too short. I wore it with black tights and heels (it was a cold night) and basic earrings. Since it was just a girls night out I didn't want to go with a big necklace or anything. Overall - a great dress. Comfortable and easy to wear and I got lots of compliments.

Adorable dress - sizing is a little "off"
I rented both the 4 and 6 for an October wedding. In dresses I can be anywhere from a 4 to an 8 depending on the dress and designer but based on the prior reviews of this dress, I opted for a 4 and 6. The 6 was a little boxy - the lining hung lower than the lace overlay which I took as a sign that it was too big. The 4 seemed to fit better - was definitely more fitted, less boxy and gave me some shape. It looked adorable with a funky necklace. I have to admit - it was a little on the short side (and I'm only 5'4") and I was mildly self-conscious sitting in church for the ceremony. Overall, a great dress and depending on how you are built, you may have to be a little careful.

I am 5'5" and a 34B on top. size 28 in jeans, and size 4 or 6 in most dresses. I wore this in the size 6 and I found this dress to fit pretty true to size but the under layer on the skirt was a little snug in the hips and the halter straps are WAY long (I had to pin them to keep them from falling down). I wore this to a wedding and it was perfect - I even wore a black cardigan with it and it looked very nice. The color is gorgeous!
