Cute but armholes are cut strangely
I loved the idea of this dress, and the size 8 fit me fine except for around the armpits, where it was cut oddly. It gave me armpit fat I've never had before! I ended up not wearing it because of that.

Perfect for a winter cocktail party!
I sized up because I have a big bust, but it ran very big on top. I could have gotten away with a small, but it probably would have been too short. Other than that, I loved this dress. It was super comfortable and highlighted all the right places while hiding my bad areas (stomach). I would consider renting it again!

Great color, terrible zipper
My size varies because I have a small waist and a large bust, so I usually wear between a 6 and 10. I ended up wearing the 10, but I probably would have been more comfortable in a 12. This dress is very structured at the top, so if you have a large bust or broad back, size up because there's no give. Also, the zipper is HORRIBLE. It took several minutes for someone to zip me into it. Some of the wires and boning from the dress poked me throughout the night, but eventually I got used to it. The pros are that the color is great, it was flown and pretty for a summer wedding, and it showed off my small waist. I did get a lot of compliments on it. If it wasn't for the zipper, I would consider renting again in a larger size.

Flora Chiffon Dress

Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8

Runs very small
I usually wear a size 6 or 8, but I sized up because I read this runs small. I didn't fit in the 8, and the 10 was super tight. It also had a small rip on the side that made it bulge out, so I couldn't wear it. This dress is great for people with a more straight figure. If you are at all curvy, I would advise staying away. It was not at all forgiving around my hips, which is usually not much of a problem area for me.

I got so many compliments on this dress!
I usually wear a 12, and I fit into the 8. I have a large bust, and it was still a little big in that area. I'm on the shorter side, and the dress was a little too long (it hit the floor even though I was wearing heels). There's also a lot of fabric, so be aware of that. But besides that, the details on the dress are stunning, and I got a ton of compliments! It was the perfect dress for a formal wedding.
