I really struggled to decide which size to wear. I felt like the 38R was a little too tight and I was afraid I would feel like I had to suck my tummy in all night, but the 40R was just a little too loose. But I decided to stick with the 38R because the material caused any lines to either smooth out or just look like rouching detail. I'm also boy-shaped, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do this dress justice, but it still made me look like I had way more of an hourglass figure than I really do and was very flattering. Most people rent this gown for the fit and the back detailing which are both fantastic, but what I really loved the most was the elegant neckline with the long sleeves!! So flattering! I was also afraid I would be too hot, but the material is comfortable, not stifling. No zipper, so I recommend stepping in to the gown instead of pulling over your head. I also read that it was kinda short, but I was glad that I could wear 2.5 inch heels instead of 4 inch heels.

The fit was pretty much perfect and the dresses arrived on time. It felt really elegant and like it had some give if I ate a lot and needed extra space. The beading looked beautiful and the dress was in great condition. I also got confused about when I was supposed to return it. I emailed customer service asking if I could return it a day late because I hadn't read the instructions right, and they said it was no problem. So I returned it a day late with no additional fee. The instructions for mailing it back are really easy to follow. Overall great experience!
