Pictures don’t do this dress justice
I rented the dress in XS for a wedding over the summer, based on other reviews. The dress is wildly flattering but not a lot of give. Long story short I couldn’t zip my chest in. But I loved the dress so I rented it as a backup for an event this fall, sizing up to a size small. It fit like a glove. The fabric is amazing quality, and the intricate detail is beautiful. The fit is so so so flattering. The thickness of the fabric doesn’t add size it just adds shape. Highly recommend! But if you’re busty, don’t hesitate to size up.

Super hot little black dress!
This dress!! I initially rented a 4 based on reviews but there is zero stretch and no give in this dress so thank goodness for my backup size 6. It took 2 extra helpers to zip me in but partly because the zipper itself was very difficult. Once in though, this dress is phenomenal. It’s not a complaint but one mild criticism is that you’ll need to take short steps to walk in it, and it’s nearly impossible to pull it up to pee. It fits the body like a glove but that does mean some downsides. If you need a date night dress though, this will not disappoint.

Beautiful dress but more deceivingly formal
I thought this would be a great dress for a summer day time event. It was really really heavy - hard to keep up - and a lot more formal looking than I thought it would be. Beautiful dress though! Maybe better for a day time wedding than a day party.

Couldn't get in or get comfortable
Well made dress but I had no chance in the XS and the small zipped but not well enough to breathe. Just not a good dress for my measurements.

PERFECT summer day time event dress
I did not expect to love this dress as much as I did! It was kind of last minute and I had a credit but by the end of my rental I was searching everywhere to buy it and finding excuses to wear it! Super comfortable, super cute and light for hot weather. I didn't get a flattering pic but I felt great in it! Would pay every full priced $$ to buy this dress!

Simple but sweet!
Love this dress! Material and fit were very flattering. Snug fit but enough give that I could breathe. The color was a lot more vibrant than in the picture. It was the most comfortable dress I've rented probably ever. Would rent 100x and in any color!

LOVE this dress! Pleasant surprise!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I thought this would be my "safe" backup dress but I loved it so much more than my original choice! It's flattering and felt wedding appropriate but still sexy. I didn't think it would wow me from the pictures but I got more compliments on it than any dress I've rented before. Tight in the chest and no stretch but fit me perfectly.

Misjudged the style
The dress fit well and was flattering, very comfortable, but the straps/sleeves didn't work well for me. They were like a semi cap shoulder sleeves and just made my chest look wider. After the ceremony I folded the sleeves under and it looked better, just wish they came like that.

Good for a last minute pick
The bride asked me to wear pink two weeks before her wedding and my options were limited. It fit okay, but I wasn't wild about the ruffle top. It kept rolling over and wasn't flattering so I pinned it on the sides. Aside from that it worked well.

Underwhelming
I thought this was a safe option that I could dress up or down - wasn't sure of the wedding dress code. The dress was snug in the chest and hips but baggy in the waist so I had to belt it. The boning made it impossible to pull up any higher so I felt like there was too much chest going on. Overall it was fine, but I wish I ordered a backup or different dress instead.

Very nice, well made dress. Very different.
I got this dress as a back-up for another blue dress for my friend's wedding. It absolutely would have worked, I just liked the other one better. It hit right below my knee, which was perfect. I would not have been able to wear a bra, but wouldn't need one either. The fit was snug enough to keep my shape but not so tight hat it was uncomfortable. The lining was pretty short but didn't seem like it would need pulled down. I would definitely recommend this dress and would have been happy to wear it if my other dress didn't work out.

Super cute and fun dress! Great for a summer wedding!
Love love love the fit and shape of this dress! I did have to keep pulilng it down from time to time, but it fit like a glove and the color was so vibrant. I received tons of compliments on this dress at the wedding. It was easy to dance in and with some fun jewelry it was perfect for a summer wedding. The fabric is thick enough and the dress fit tight enough up top that I did not need to wear a bra. I usually wear a 2 or 4 but ordered the 4 since reading reviews said it ran a little small. I didn't want it to be too short. I probably could have done a 2 but the 4 was perfect.

Super cute, flattering style, perfect for a hot date!
This dress was sent to me since the original one I ordered was not deliverable. I received a small, which was perfect. It was tight enough to make me look more hourglass than usual and wouldn't have had an issue sliding down. There's the sticky lining up at the top to keep it up which definitely helps. Unfortunately, for my event it was a little too short so I did not end up wearing it but I did love the dress.

Beautiful, quality dress - extremely flattering!
I ordered this dress in both a Small and X Small. I was able to get the XS on but could not zip it up past my waist. The material is not very stretchy so it didn't leave me much room. Would have been perfect had I worn the small. The fabric is thick enough to be flattering but not so thick that it would have been hot or uncomfortable. Would not have needed to wear a bra. Spanx would make no difference since the dress is so tight and the style with the bands of fabric is so forgiving.

Fit like a glove, fun to dance in, perfect for unpredictable spring weather!
I'm usually somewhere between a size 2 and a size 4. The 4 fit but was a little loose in the midsection, tried the 2 and same thing. The slip underneath fit perfectly but the lace overlay seemed stretched out - making it look like I had a belly that I don't. I was apprehensive that the 0 would be too small, especially since the chest area was already pretty tight in the 2 but I called the night before the event and asked to have it overnighted. So glad I did! It was tight, but there was enough stretch to make it still comfortable and flattering. No poof in the tummy, and the chest area was tight but I was still able to squeeze in a lightly padded bra for support. My boyfriend agreed the dress was sexy, but not inappropriate for a church wedding. I got a few compliments on the beautiful purple color. Two things I worry about when ordering a dress for a wedding: can I dance in it and will I look okay if I sweat in it. YES dancing was easy and comfortable and YES the color and the lace made a little bit of perspiration unnoticeable! I definitely recommend.

PERFECT NYE Wedding dress... Flattering, comfortable, and just overall gorgeous!
I rented the 2L and 4L knowing I'd want the fit to be very close. The 2 fit but had longer straps for some reason so it was tight in the chest (which would have been good) but the neckline hit so low I felt like my chest was popping out. I chose to wore the 4 - even though it was a bit looser it was still very form fitting. The stretch in the fabric made it easy to dance in and eat dinner without worrying about sucking my stomach in all night. The black lace made it easy to accessorize - which I went with big statement earrings. Didn't notice much different between the 2 and 4 in length, but both were long enough to wear 3 inch heels but not too long that I was tripping over it at any time

"Conservative" but fun! Very flattering and comfortable. Options to accessorize, too!
After reading that the dress ran a bit small, I typically wear a size 2 or size 4 but opted to order a 4 and a 6. Both fit, but I was concerned the size 4 was too small in the chest area and would be uncomfortable to wear from the 4 pm wedding ceremony to the end of the reception at midnight. However, given the placement of the cutouts I regretted not wearing the size 4 because as the night wore on the cutouts were stretched out enough that gaps were forming instead of still fitting close to my body. It wasn't terrible though and my boyfriend assured I was the only one who noticed. I got tons of compliments on the dress and enjoyed being "sexy" without a plunging neckline or mini skirt length. The dress leaves lots of room for statement necklaces or wow-factor shoes too!

A fun accessory for Sunday brunch - dressing up a plain white tank and yellow denim pants
Not too heavy of a statement necklace and worked perfectly to dress up a super casual outfit for my Sunday brunch in NYC. For the price - it was well worth it. Wish I could've kept it as I think it would go well with the majority of my wardrobe!

Talk about a statement piece!!! Not too heavy and made a basic black jumpsuit suddenly super glam!
I rented a black jumpsuit for night 1 of birthday weekend in NYC but knew I needed to dress it up a bit. This necklace fit the bill! I'm always skeptical that statement necklaces will be too heavy but this one was perfect. It has an adjustable chain so I was able to place it just perfect for my neckline. It really does look far more expensive than it is! Serious value!

Such a perfect NYC-night-out outfit!! So easy to accessorize and fun to wear. AND THERE'S POCKETS.
I was apprehensive about a jumpsuit since I have never worn one before. I ordered the size 2 & 4 and ended up going with 2 because I wanted it tight enough that I wouldn't worry about it sliding down. It definitely was snug - no bending over possible - but comfortable enough to wear through dinner, a broadway show, and drinks afterward. There's nothing overly striking about the outfit itself so you can take it ANY direction with statement accessories - shoes, jewelry or a great bag. I paired a RTR necklace with it!

Such a fun, classic dress! Sexy but not overly revealing, fitted but not suffocating, and the COLOR!
I ordered both the small and medium and while the small fit, it was a little too tight in the chest area and I was afraid it might be uncomfortable after a few hours. Decided to wear the medium even though it seemed a little stretched out at the bottom. I wore it to an early summer wedding. The color was gorgeous and the material was very flattering. The lace helps hide any imperfections! It was easy to move around and dance in. Both my boyfriend and I gave it two thumbs up!!
