Comfortable and elegant
This dress was perfect. Runs true to size, was just the right length. It did not require any special underwear/bra, which made it easy. The velvet is stretchy and very comfortable. Very elegant. I received compliments all night!

Stunning with beautiful details, runs a little bit small
This dress runs a little small. I'm a 8/10, and the 10 fit perfectly. Very comfortable, worn with a strapless black bra. Danced and moved around without a problem. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous details, easy to wear

This was an absolutely gorgeous dress, however it was not worth the high rental cost.
This dress is stunning, but it was more than double the cost of the other 3 dresses I received. Another dress fit better and looked more elegant. The quality of the material and the overall look were not worth the price tag. It's a gorgeous dress, but I could only recommend it at half the price.

Gorgeous dress but runs very small.
Gorgeous, elegant, very slimming. I wasn't able to wear it because it ran too small -- One size up would have been perfect.

This dress runs large. It was my backup -- I ordered a 10, but an 8 would have been perfect.
I will definitely choose this dress again for a formal affair. It is stunning.

Beautiful
This was a backup dress for me. This is a beautiful dress with a very forgiving fabric. It's a little stretchy, easy to move and breathe in, easy to wear. No need to feel nervous when you hit the dance floor or move around the room. The only con is that it didn't really have the WOW factor I was hoping for. It's not a head-turner type of dress.

TA-DOW!
I received so many compliments in this dress --Definitely a great choice. It looks grey-ish in the picture, but has a metallic glimmer in person that looked gorgeous under the lights. It was just right for a formal ball. It accentuated my waist and made me feel like a million bucks. It runs a little small. I typically wear a 6, and the 6 was almost too tight.

Gorgeous, but...
This was my backup. It is definitely a size small. I typically wear a 6, and the 8 was perfect. **disclaimer: in the picture I didn't have on any shaping underwear, so don't let the panty lines and rolls keep you from renting this dress!** I think this dress would be ideal for an opera ball, masquerade ball -- It definitely struck me as a fall/winter formal evening event dress. The nude slip and dress are totally separate, and you can see in the picture that there's a "bunching" effect that was a little odd. It definitely would have worked well, but I'm glad it was my second choice.

Pregnancy can make a woman feel frumpy. This gown mad me feel like a (pregnant) princess!
I am 21 weeks pregnant, normally an 8/10. I ordered the 10, and it fit my bump and growing chest perfectly. I am 5'6'', and it was touching the floor with my tallest heels, so ladies under 5'6'' may prefer the short size.
