Wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner with long black boots and it was great. Only thing I didn't love was the hemline that comes up in the font, rather than same length all-around. It's definitely fitted, but comfortable and stretchy.

Floral Svana Jersey Dress
Rachel Rachel Roy
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"

Bust: 34B
Too big and drop waist not flattering
This was a backup option for a fall wedding that I didn't wear. Size 10-12 was big on me all-around. Top clearly needs a bigger bust. But despite all that, it was the drop waist that was my biggest concern. It's just not flattering on someone like me with hips. It seems to accentuate that. Dress is comfortable though, and I liked the subtle pattern.

Not great for small bust
This was a backup option that I didn't end up wearing. I think you need a bigger bust to balance out the style and make the top fit. Super low cut and too big on top, despite the way tight hips, so I would have had to wear something underneath to protect myself against any gaping. Dress is high quality and fabric is nice and thick with stretch, though.

High-quality green fitted dress
I'm torn on how to rate this. The dress is clearly green, not teal, and more form fitting than I was hoping for (for general comfort!), but it was pretty and definitely worked well for the cocktail attire wedding I attended. I did worry, and end up feeling, it was too conservative for my taste, but the fit helps counteract that a little bit. I ordered backups and ended up wearing this anyway, since the backups didn't fit.

Lace me in Teal Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 34B
Modern cut, color & pattern
Beautiful color and print. Great for warm summer wedding, especially with cutouts for air flow! Slightly shorter than I'd prefer, but I'm tall, and it wasn't noticeably short. Cutouts weren't too revealing, but ended up being a tad awkward because they're on your lower waist, where everyone hugs you. Wouldn't recommend for church wedding, as back cutouts larger. But super pretty!
Alexis Dress

Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6

Bright, interesting print
This dress was fabulous for a "garden formal" outdoor wedding. It was more comfortable than I expected, and I pinned the back closed just a little so that I could wear a normal strapless bra (otherwise, would have had to go with pasties or other backless option). I also added a belt (which sadly slipped in this pic and others), that added some good interest and covered where the seams meet. Would definitely rent again.
Painted Envy Dress

Size Worn: ML
Usual Size: 6

Bust: 34B
Great color, fit & style
This dress was beautiful and fit really well in the bodice. I was worried the skirt material wouldn't be dressy enough for a wedding, but it definitely was. The only reason why I didn't wear this dress in the end was that my other option was a little more unique and fitting for the wedding's outdoor garden theme. But I would totally rent this dress again. It's easy, comfortable, and stylish, with the perfect neckline for a statement necklace.

Hang Ten Maxi
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34B
Gorgeous, but not adjustable
I liked the look of this dress even more in person, but was surprised to find (just didn't notice before) that the belt wasn't adjustable. I like to feature my waist, and this dress didn't allow me to take it in there. The six also seemed a little big in the torso, but the long length was great for a tall girl (allowing me to still wear heels) and the flowy skirt was very loose and comfortable, which fit my larger hips well.

Super comfy, super sparkly, and memorable. First rental success!
My sister and I were usherettes in a wedding and told to find navy dresses; so we decided to rent the same dress. We are both tall, but I am more hippy and she straight-hipped, yet we each wore the 6. I didn't notice much size difference between the 6 & 8, and went with the smaller because of my bust (and my hips had enough room in the six, which is rare). The cut was a little too low for a church wedding, so we pinned it closed just a little. This dress is more suited for a glamorous event, but worked for us great and was really comfy! We received many compliments.
