A showstopper!
I needed something to wear to a donor's gala, so I wanted something glamorous. This dress fit the bill! The stretch fabric is so forgiving and hangs beautifully, so I was comfortable all night. I was able to wear a convertible bra with one strap under the on-the-shoulder side with no peekaboo issues. I probably could have sized down one size since the fabric was stretchy (I went up one based on other reviews), but it wasn't oversized or falling off. Length was perfect to pair with heels, too! Absolutely loved it!

A beautiful, unique look!
I really enjoyed the look of this dress, and I received a lot of compliments on it. I will note that the fabric has zero stretch, and it was oddly tight in the ribcage. I found this strange because everywhere else, the dress was perfectly sized. I don't know that sizing up would have helped, as everything else would be loose. The flowers are more of a magenta pink than red, which is what I was expecting from the pictures. Still very pretty, and it was a nice look for an evening wedding.

A pleasant surprise with a great fit!
I wasn't sure I loved the print when I saw the dress online, but after reading all the positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. The pineapples are actually abstract enough that it's not an overwhelming pattern. The fit and flow of the dress is perfection! The dress is lightweight, so it doesn't overwhelm in warm weather, and the neckline is extremely flattering. My boobs looked so great! I would rent this one again for sure!

Movie star quality!
This dress fit like a dream! There was just enough stretch for it to hug every curve seamlessly, and I felt gorgeous in it all night. The mermaid flare at the bottom gave it that perfect red carpet swish! It is a bit heavier than expected because of the underlay, but it is not cumbersome - the straps are supportive enough to keep it from weighing you down. I was able to wear a nude strapless bra without it showing in the back or through the mesh at the bust, and I wore 3.5" heels (ordering the long was a big help, it hit the ground perfectly). I received compliments from total strangers all night, and this is by far my favorite RTR rental.

Feeling like I made the best-dressed list!
I adore this dress! I sized up to a large since the lace had no stretch, and I'm glad I did. The medium would have been tolerable, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable dancing in it. The only downside to sizing up is that the collar was too big and wouldn't stand up properly. I corrected it by gathering and pinning a bit of the collar fabric together with a safety pin, and it wasn't even noticeable. The fit is really flattering, and the length is perfectly appropriate for a cocktail-attire wedding. The color is fantastic, and I got compliments all night! The open back means no traditional bra, but I was okay going without - ladies with larger busts may struggle with this one. I would rent this again in a heartbeat!

I felt so pretty on a very special date night!
What an easy, sexy look! I rented this for a date night with my husband, and I felt fabulous all night. The fit was great, and the pattern wasn't overwhelming. The shape gives the appearance of length, so I felt six feet tall all night. Flats worked for me, but a shorter girl might want to pair wedges with this. I'm glad the medium backup fit well, because I tried the small and found that the fabric had been stretched WAY too big. Because of this, I would definitely suggest ordering a backup, just in case.
