It was okay....
This was not my favorite rental, but it had more to do with my taste than anything wrong with the dress.

Beautiful dress!
If you are a short person and/or have narrow shoulders, you will most likely have trouble with the dress falling off of your shoulders. Some double-sided tape would be a great investment, if you do not plan on revealing too much of your chest.

Way TOO big, but super cute!
I rented the 'recommended' size, and the shorts were huge.

Fantastic dress in every way!
I have rented this dress multiple times and always get compliments. It is made from beautiful fabric, which does not wrinkle and remains fresh-looking throughout the day.

Bright shade of blue is a knockout color.
The flirty, feminine design with the slight slit up the side was great for my height. However, I could see where a taller person might show a bit too much leg for a professional environment.

I wore it to a college football game, whose colors are navy and gold. So, it was perfect!
Sleeve length and shirt length were good in my short frame.

Feminine, yet a power dress, for sure!
The body hugging sensational fabric fit like a glove. The beautiful cutouts, which formed the flowers on the sleeves, made the dress! The detailing was impressive!

The fun party-like design, with the bright colors, made this a versatile one-of-a-kind!
The fitted bodice, with the flared skirt, hid the imperfections of my body. The well-designed embroidery is accented with silver threading, which provides a bit of sparkle. The gathered tulle at the waist and at the hem toned down the staidness of the dress and added a bit of 'fun' to the style. Loved it and received tons of compliments!

The quality of the embroidery and design garnered compliments!
The style and shape of the dress made it easy to wear; and the richness of the embroidery caught everyone's eye. It is a stunning dress!

The fabric and embroidered design make this a stand-out in any crowd!
This dress fit perfectly in the bodice and sleeves; and even in the height of summer, the sheerness of the sleeves allowed me to remain cool and comfortable. On my 5'2" frame, the dress fell just above my knee. The only negative is that the bodice and skirt fabric is very thick, which made it a bit difficult to pull the zipper smoothly, especially where the seams were at the waist. However, my husband helped with the zipper; and I received tons of compliments, as I looked feminine and classy at the meeting.

Comfortable and beautiful fabric...the pockets were a plus!
The rich fabric was not too heavy; and the magenta and black pattern added to the classy design. The inverted pleat in the front allows you to feel comfortable, especially if you are not blessed with flat and/or toned abs. On my 5'2" frame, the dress fell just below my knee; and the triangular cutout in the back did not dip too low, allowing bra straps to be concealed. All in all, this dress can be worn all day and into the evening.

Feminine and fitted - loved the sleeve detail!
This dress fit perfectly - not too small, not too large - except for the sleeves. The sleeves were just a bit long on my petite frame.

Loved the feminine nature of this dress - the fabric and ruffled sleeves.
The slip on this dress fit very nicely, allowing the dress fabric to flow and sway. The breathable nature of the fabric allowed comfort, even on these hot summer days. On my short frame, the dress fell just above the knee in the front and a little lower in the back. All around, I loved this dress!

The detailing on the front made this purse very memorable.
The purse is quite heavy, compared to others I own and have rented. The handle is small, although I could still slide my hand through to hold it on my wrist. I liked that it had an outside pocket on the back, to stow my cell phone.

The number of compliments I received, well, I lost count!
As a petite, the dress hem was right above my knee; and the sleeves came to my wrists. I was afraid the dress fabric might be too heavy for summer; but the airiness of the lace and lightweight liner was perfect.

The lightweight fabric flows and is oh-so-comfortable, even in the hottest weather!
Even on my short frame, the dress landed just above the knee, with the sleeves hitting right at my wrist. I wore it with stiletto mules and received many compliments!

This very fitted dress left little room for movement or imagination.
I only wore this dress one time, for approximately three hours. Its fitted nature made me feel as if I could not breathe or eat more than a celery stalk. I should have gotten a size larger.

The large bell sleeves with ruffle detail at the elbows caused this dress to get huge compliments.
Although somewhat fitted, this dress still had enough room to not feel constricted and allow easy movement. I had to be careful with the sleeves, as they had a lot of fabric. This, by the way, was not a negative - I just merely had to be cognizant that the sleeves could find their way into sinks and food plates. I was able to wear this dress with high-heeled boots and stilettos, which changed the look.

The ability to dress this coat up, or dress down in jeans, made this a nice addition to my wardrobe.
This coat is a very "boxy" style. For someone, like myself, who is curvy, the coat does not necessarily accentuate your assets. However, I wore this coat over textured tights and a long-sleeve tee; and I unzipped the top AND bottom zipper about ten inches, to minimize the straight-up-and-down style. The thickness of the material limited my ability to wear it more than a few times, because of the temperature swings.

The easy style and loose fitting - not to mention the versatility - made this a joy to wear!
The silky lightweight fabric flowed beautifully and allowed ease of movement. The flexibility of footwear - from booties to knee-high boots - gave the dress a versatility for a variety of temperatures and occasions. I absolutely love this dress and will buy it, if it is available for purchase!
