Beautiful but small
I normally wear a 4, so I rented both the 4 and 6 and found both dresses to be too small in the arms. The lace is very elegant looking (larger lace flowers) but unfortunately, the lace has no give in the arms. And I don't even have super muscular arms! The skirt has some volume, so it does look a little more formal. Was originally going to wear to a work party, but felt it was a little too nice to the occasion, and the arms were just not tolerable for moving around. So sadly this one went back!

Fun black dress
Wore the medium to a wedding and it was so comfy and classy. Enjoyed having a longer length on a dress, and surprisingly, it wasn't suffocating or too hot! The wedding was indoors, so the thicker material wasn't bad. I was apprehensive that the bottom of the dress would be silly looking, but the amount of fabric and the material were heavy that it didn't look crazy. Was paired with a big gold necklace to break up the black. Would rent this one again!

Very comfortable dress for a winter party
Such a fun dress! Not typically a bodycon dress type of a girl (can't eat in them), but decided to take a chance with this one because it seemed a little more modest. It was a wonderful fit and the fabric was much thicker, so it wasn't as "attention-grabbing" as other bodycon dresses. The glitter was eye-catching in the light, and the exposed back was just enough to make the dress different. Really felt comfortable all night and was able to eat as much as I wanted (very important dress factor). Paired the dress with tights and boots for a Christmas party. Would definitely rent this one again!

Business Casual Dress with Pockets and Polka Dots
The dress if a more of a pink then a creme color like in the photo. I wore this for a large community event, so it worked well as a business casual outfit. I rented it because it had pockets! I was able to keep my iphone in the pocket most of the night, but of course it bulged out of the dress. It is a great dress for a long night of standing and was very comfortable. The dress was a little shorter than expected...went about two inches about the knee. Paired the dress with a belt and I was good to go!

Understated and Sleek Dress
I never wear tight, body con dresses, but I took a chance with this one for a formal black tie event, and I'm glad I did! I was looking for a dress that was understated (didn't want to draw attention), but still had a little spice to it, and so this one fit the bill. The material on the hanger is heavy, but once on, I didn't notice the weight of the fabric. This means that, although the dress hugs every part of your body, the material is think and durable, and felt comfortable while walking around the room, while eating, and while dancing. The swirls add a little bit of texture to an otherwise simple dress. I wore the 4R, and at 5'2 I wore about 2 inch heels and you could see the beginning of my toes. I think that a higher heel would have made the dress too short. The 6R was long enough then, but you can tell the difference when you wear the dress that the 6R was a little more lose in the straps and in the back. The 4R looked really sleek on me and I could still eat a lot (this is important to me). I didn't have any problems with the back being low, but I had to make sure that I held the dress when getting into/out of the car and when walking up/down stairs as not to step on the fabric. Really enjoyed the dress and how it made me feel!

Very Pretty and Not Too Heavy
Received these earrings and they were actually rather large, which is great since I wore my hair down for the wedding. The earrings are not completed oval (as in, they are hollow and flat on the backside), so if you were expecting that be warned:) Also, I didn't find the earrings to be heavy and wore them for a good 5-6 hours (although, I might be used to wearing big earrings). They are still in great condition too so definitely worth the rental!

Simple and Elegant
I wore this necklace with a black dress and it complemented well. The simple design wasn't screaming in everyone's face and didn't look to gaudy. When I received it, a diamond was missing, so of course it is rented and be aware of that. Its a rather rich gold, so matching gold pieces can be tricky. Don't wear with any lace because the necklace WILL NOT come off at the end of the night, or at least that was what I experienced! However, I would rent again!

Dress for a Night Out
This dress was suited for a night out that didn't involve much sitting. Like other reviewers, it does run small (it felt like a 2 instead of a four) and it has also faded (think a dark gray) from numerous wears so be warned! I rented for a morning graduation ceremony, and when I tried it on, it fit like a glove. I typically wear a four, and I definitely recommend sizing up for a back-up. I didn't receive a backup size so I ended up not wearing this one. Additionally, on my frame, the straps were a little long. However, if you have a long torso (or a larger chest) and need a dress for going out (in dim lighting), then this is one that shows off all your curves and has a great pattern.

Fun and Luxurious Dress
It is a fun dress with a great flowy design; a lot different from dresses you'd typically see at a wedding! I would have worn the dress however, the one I received was pretty damaged so I ended up not wearing this one, so make sure you check the dress for any frays or rips since the waist/ribcage is somewhat tight. I have a pretty large ribcage, and the 4 felt like a snug fit. The waist hit me right at the start of my hips and I'm 5'2, so it flared out nicely. Very rich and luxurious fabric and the texture of the dress is pretty unique.

It is a beautiful dress!
The first dress I ordered was pretty damaged and I didn't want to wear a ripped dress to a wedding, so I called up a stylist and Alex came to my rescue! I ended up getting this as a sub for my first dress and it arrived next day air to my hotel. Unfortunately, I have a smaller chest, so the top didn't fill out right (the waist fit close to body, but left room for sitting), so I wore a different dress. However, if you're at least a 34B and you're typically a 4, the dress is true to size. I'm 5'2 and the dress came down past my knees, so it was pretty modest. The beading and detail is beautiful. Wished it would have fit in the bust because no one at the wedding had a dress anywhere close to it!
