Great fit and flare!
I wore this to my friend's rehearsal dinner at a winery in Florida. I have a very straight and narrow body type lacking any sort of curves, so this dress was very flattering. It is a tid bit tight at the seam in the middle, but it did not bother me whatsoever unless I bent over (which I didn't really do). The different fabric and pattern on the bottom make this dress very sophisticated and unique. A really pretty blue. I was able to wear my regular bra and paired the dress with cream colored shoes. Enjoy!

Vibrant color!
I rented this dress for a friend's wedding in Florida in November. It was sent as a backup because the original dress I ordered was not flattering. Kudos to the very patient stylist who spent a long time on the phone with me picking out this dress given the short time turnaround! I rented the 4 & 6, as the stylist said this brand runs small. I tried the 4 on and it fit wonderfully, if a little snug. When I went to actually wear it for the wedding, the zipper would not go up and got stuck (I am plagued with a wide rib cage!). I ended up wearing the 6 instead, which hugged in all of the right places and probably was more comfortable in the long run than the 4 would have been when it comes to dancing. I would highly recommend, and suggest sizing up if you're unsure. I usually wear a 2 or a 4. You might want to wear some sort of spanx unless you're toned; I could kind of see my belly button through the material without the spanx underwear.

Very cute dress
Wore it for a rehearsal dinner. The cut is very flattering,t I don't have much in the way of the curves department, so this dress created that illusion. I thought it was snug in the chest- snug, not too tight. I had many compliments. I was a bit scared to try this color dress, but I was tan this time of year so it looked nice. If I was my normal pasty self, I'm not sure how it would have looked against my skin tone.

Pretty!
These were beautiful earrings, great color and size. My only issue is that I have sensitive ears and if I wear earrings with cheap metal, my ears get itchy and red. My left ear was itchy and red, so I'm guessing the metals aren't the highest quality, which is too bad. I'd expect more for the rental price- if you don't have sensitive ears, then I say rent them!

Very chic dress, was flattering!
The color and fit on the bottom half of this dress was amazing! I wore this to a summer wedding and it hugged me nicely in all the right places. I don't have much of a waist and this created the flattering illusion of one. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that the neck and shoulder area was a bit loose and wouldn't stay put with double sided tape because the inside of the dress was lace just like the overlay and the tap didn't adhere well to the lace. The top of my bra kept showing (arguably I should have found another bra to wear) and the straps kept showing too. Next time I might size down to fix this problem, but I was afraid it wouldn't fit on the bottom if I went down a size, but I think I could have worn the size 10. I would recommend this dress to everyone!

Glamorous and perfect- I rented them so they would go with one of the two dress options I rented and they looked amazing! Would certainly recommend them

Very tight through the waist and very low cut!
I thought the color and material of this dress were very pretty. With that said, the belt was glued/sewn to the mid section making it very difficult to get over my waist. It was also very very revealing in the bosom because of the cut. I used the double sided tape, but the hole ensemble kind of looked a bit too short on me. I'm 5'5" and this fell a lot shorted on the legs on me than it did on the model. I didn't end up wearing it and had to go out and buy a new dress because I felt like if I bent over slightly my bottom would be exposed and if I leaned over my whole chest would be revealed. This would work well on someone who has a shorted torso than I do and maybe shorter legs.

Stunning!
These earrings were beautiful, loved the detail and are versatile- they would go with a variety of looks. You can't really tell from the picture but the jewels are set on a gold backing. Very pretty, would rent again.

Not a flattering design
While the color of this dress is beautiful for a winter wedding like the one I was attending, the pleating (ridges? I don't know what to call them) that surrounds the entire dress made it easy to see every lump on my body despite wearing spanx. It also falls a lot shorter (right on the thighs) than it appears on the model- and I'm only 5'5"... 5'6" on a good day. The flared part of the dress fell right below my butt. There also was a thicker ridge/pleat that ran down the center of the dress that I could not get to sit straight so it looked like the dress was askew when I wore it. I had to run out and buy a dress because this one looked bad. The photo on the model is very misleading. Wouldn't rent again.

Didn't fit in the right places
I ordered a large size because typically things are too tight on the top and too loose on the bottom for me and sadly this was the case with this dress. I'm glad I had a 'backup' dress too. The color was gorgeous, though!

Extremely flattering dress, love the color!
I wore this dress for a friend's wedding this past summer, about three months after I gave birth to my first child (the baby in the pic). Beyonce I am not, and I was still not down to my pre-pregnancy weight so I was super self conscious about being in front of people I haven't seen in a long time looking fat. Enter this amazing dress. I had no idea what size I would be since I was somewhere in between what I wore for maternity clothes and what I used to wear, so I went with a large thinking it would give me some leeway. It totally did. The dress hugged perfectly on top (my bust has been larger than normal due to nursing my baby and I normally find dresses to be too tight on top and too loose on the bottom in general, but this fit nicely and did not squeeze or cut off circulation) and was very forgiving in the middle section where I needed it to be. The dress falls mid-thigh so it drew attention to my legs instead of my middle. I could see it feeling a little short to taller girls, but on me I loved where it fell. I received lots of compliments and I would totally rent this again and highly recommend it.
