Like a Bottle of Wine…
This dress is like a bottle of fine deep red wine… wonderfully delicious once you’re in… but getting in is quite the task! If you do not have help for the corseted back I suggest passing this beauty up. But if you do have someone to assist you, ROCK IT. It’s comfortable and the velvet fabric has a great weight to it, so it moves so beautifully. Something to note - if you have any sort of tummy at all, be aware this dress offers zero tummy control. I recommend investing in shape-wear if you’re self conscious about that area.

Butterflies for my Birthday
I felt like such a stunner in this dress. It’s fun, sexy, and bursting with color. Very eye catching! It does run a tad small - zipping required me to empty my lungs but I managed. The adjustable straps were a pleasant surprise and I didn’t need a bra. One of my favorite parts though was it was just the right length. I would definitely rent again.

A Lace Tease
One of my favorite dresses I used in my shoot. It was comfortable, when on like a glove, and hugged my body just right. It was also a great length - which is not something I get to have the pleasure of experiencing because I’m petite. Definitely recommend!

Shades of Red
I liked this dress, but it was a little awkwardly proportioned. I’m small chested, and although flattering, even without a bra, it was a little tight in that region. I didn’t take many shots in this dress because I felt somewhat awkward. It is pretty though, just odd proportions.

Lady in Red
This was a fun dress! Very flowy and a lot of fabric to play with. The straps are a bit long if you have a short torso (not adjustable) and unless you are incredibly lean, trim, and fit be cautious when in a seated position. Your tummy will play peek-a-boo through the bottom cut out. Overall I loved it, but I was thankful that I only rented for a photoshoot instead of an actual event. A huge plus is that you do not need a bra in this dress!

Sultry Queen
This dress is a winner! It hugs all the right places and was very flattering. The sheer detailing and high slit turned up the heat. I loved it! You will have to either have to wear a sticky bra or go braless. I went braless and was very comfortable in my skin!

Pop of Color for the Picnic
I rented this dress to attend my Command Picnic and felt so comfortable in it. No issues with gapping, and it has surprise hidden pockets which were quite sizable and even sported adjustable straps. This dress was the sweet spot - not too little, not too much. Take note - contrary to the photos, the dress is an off-white. Only downside was that the bottom of the dress has a persistent crease, which is a bit odd. Other than that, wonderful fit, and awesome find! I would rent again!

Big, Bold, and BLUE.
A fun yet fashionable coat that doesn't shove functionality to the side! This was a stunning addition to my outfit. The color is Cobalt Blue with a plush inviting texture. It kept me toasty during transitions and turned heads all along the way. The buttons are hidden but sturdy enough to stand up to such a substantial coat. The pockets were a nice surprise. I was pleased to find that despite my small frame the coat did not overwhelm me. It took away nothing, and gave it all for a complete look.

Best for Bustier Babes
I rented this for a country wedding and the length is perfect to sport cowboy boots in. The waist is a little snug and the top, if you're not blessed in the bust section, is a bit baggy. I had to couple wardrobe malfunctions throughout the evening, with the top slipping from my shoulders too many times. It felt disproportionate, but if you're a larger cup size (C and up) with a tiny waist, this number is your fit. The material was light and airy. Cute style, just better suited for chesty ladies.

The Bride's Something Blue
Let me start by saying a felt like a goddess in this gown. The color puts the bluest of skies to shame, it is comfortable, flowy fabric with a silk lining. But the downside is the straps are not adjustable at all, and if you have small breasts coupled with a short torso, there is a considerable amount of gap. I was able to pull it off but wore pasties just in case of a nip slip. The dress definitely had some proportion issues - from the cups to the rib cage. But I do not regret renting!

Change of Command Stunner
I rented this little number for my Change of Command ceremony at work. It was comfortable, appropriate, very fitting, and even allowed me to rock a red lip for a little extra pop of patriotic. It is well made and the pleated skirt is very pretty. Definitely on my Rent Again list!

Cute & Comfortable
I wore this dress to a country style wedding. It was cute, but definitely runs large. I wore a 0, but still had bagging which was disappointing since I was after a "hip hugging" fit. It also does not have adjustable straps, so I had to get a little creative with a safety pin. The cups of the dress were also awkward; not enough padding and support to go braless but also too much to wear a bra. On a positive note, it is comfy material with unique details and it was a beautiful hushed peach color.

Rockin' it in Red
I felt beautiful in this dress, but wish I would've sized down for a more "hug the hips" fit. The top was mildly gappy, which made me feel a little self conscious, as I didn't want to show too much off up top. If I would've ordered a 2 as my back up size it would've been perfect. Overall, I do recommend this dress if you're looking to be the Lady in Red! Helpful hint: L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-matte Liquid Lipstick 368 Matador completes the look and matches the dress perfectly!
