I was pretty nervous about renting this one as a 12R was the only one available and reviews suggested a 12L would be better if I wanted it to touch the floor. I took the chance and was very happy I did. The dress fit perfect in every way, and was very slimming. I'm about 186lbs and self conscious of my tummy sticking out, but it hugged in all the right places with the gold embellishment complimenting it perfectly! It was a little shorter than I would have liked but still looked great with 3" heels (just didn't touch the ground). I would definitely rent this one again in a heartbeat!

I rented the 12R and 14R for a military ball, and ended up wearing the 12R as it fit better in the chest. I did not wear a bra with this as the low cut makes it almost impossible to wear one. Loved the color and pockets! Only thing that was disappointing is that the dress itself is shorter than I would like. I wore a 1.5" heel instead of a 3" and it still didn't touch the floor. This was true for both sizes unfortunately. If I would have had more time, I would have switched to the 12L instead.

I wore the 12R for a military ball. My favorite part was the pockets! The dress itself fit well and I only wore a strapless bra which worked perfectly.

I wore this dress to a military ball. Not knowing what size I was going to need, I ordered both 8L and the 10R, but ended up wearing the 10R. It fit like a glove and hugged all the right places. I wore 3" heels and still had a little bit of a train. No pockets, but the fabric had a little stretch to it.
