FUN!
Wore this in Vegas for my friend's 40th. This dress is HOT and fun! It was comfortable, fit perfectly true to size, and I felt like a million bucks. It's on the shorter side and you're definitely going to have a lot of cleavage (recommend fashion tape) but I still felt like it was classy enough for an almost 40 year old mom of 3. ;) Perfect for Vegas!

Cute but small/short
I have a short torso and this is very short like others have said. I'm a 0/2 in tops and rented the 2. It wasn't cropped on me but it just barely covered my skin with regular rise jeans. I didn't wear it because if I moved much at all, I would have been baring my midriff. It's really cute, but it needs to be a couple inches longer.

LOVED THIS!
Absolutely loved this maxi and at 5'3", it wasn't too long on me. As others have said, it is very small up top. I had to get creative with safety pins to make it work. I'm a 32C, and I could barely button it. If you have a larger chest, size up. I wore this a couple times and got so many compliments each time.

Fun dress
This was fun and I loved the color. As others have said, there's a lot of fabric up top (fashion tape would be helpful) and it's fitted through the hip area. I thought it might be stretchier but it really isn't. It does fit TTS in my opinion. The reason for only 4 stars is the top was just a bit of a mess and I was worried about my bra showing all night.

Cute but SHORT!
I still wore this but it is short for this almost 40 year old momma of 3! Very cute and comfy for running around on the weekend but I could have used an extra inch or two in length, and I'm 5'3" on a good day. ;)

Cute fall romper
I ended up not wearing this though I wanted to! It just got cool too quickly. I'd say it runs TTS. I'm usually a 0 in most things, and I got a 2 and it was ever so slightly big. As with most things with straps, I did need to safety pin the straps but it was easy to do without looking like they were pinned. This is a thicker material so definitely not great for a really hot day. Very pretty romper... I would rent again for the right event/weather.

Nice top
Per the usual for me, this was a little big in the shoulders (showed bra under arms) but not horribly so. Would be cute with jeans for a date... it was warm when I wore it so I wore with white shorts and sandals for a weekend day of errands and an outdoor festival. Could be worn to work with a blazer and pants. It's billowy/flowy and did not tuck in well (no front tuck happening).

Fun dress!
This was a good find. It fit well (I'm a 0 in most regular clothes, so I'd say it runs TTS to slightly small... size up if there's any question). As a petite woman, the ability to tie the shoulder straps is an A+ as I'm always having to pin them otherwise. There's a lot of fabric at the bottom and it was a little wrinkly... not so much I did anything about it. Could dress up with a black moto jacket and heels for a date or down with a denim jacket and sandals or booties. Note it is heavier.

VERY SHORT!
The reviews that say this is short are NOT lying. I'm 5'3" on a good day and this was indecently short on me. I'm also a mom of three and pushing 40. If I were in my 20s, I may have rocked it out. It is REALLY cute and flattering minus the length (or lack thereof). I wish it had been one to two inches longer! (My booty cheeks were almost exposed and if I bent over at all, they definitely were.)

Not for petite girls
This romper is very cute, but I could not wear it. I'm not really skinny but I am petite with curves. This just has too much fabric and was not at all flattering on me. The XS was too big/overwhelming on my frame. I pulled the excess fabric taut behind my back and it was cute that way! As designed, it was not flattering on me at all. It is also fairly low cut so be prepared with tape or a cami if you don't want to see cleavage or your bra. May be less of an issue if it fits better.

Dress up or down
Loved this dress! I wish I had somewhere more special to wear it, but loved it for a casual Saturday with a kids dance performance and hanging out. You could easily dress this one up with heels or down with sandals. I am petite (especially through my shoulders) and had to pin the straps, and at 5'3" on a good day, this hit right at my ankles. I would rent this again.

LOVE
Wore this for a charity gala with a garden party theme (outdoors but in the evening). I received compliments all night. It is low cut and fashion tape would have been ideal, but I didn't have any so I just wore a black bra in case there were any peek-a-boos going on. I am a 0/2 and I was able to fit in the 0 but it was a little tight around my rib cage. If you are larger busted, I would size up if you're in between sizes. I would definitely rent this again!

Runs big
Cute but definitely size down, especially if you're petite. I was able to wear it thanks to the belt, but it was definitely big all over. I'm typically a 0/2, but if there were a 00 in this, I think I could have worn it.

Lovely gown
As you can see from my picture, if you have a larger bust, be prepared for LOTS of cleavage! I was a little uncomfortable with that, but I embraced it and the dress is stunning. I would normally suggest sizing up for a designer dress for your backup, but I sized down to a 2R as it showed slightly less up top than the 4R, and I also needed the tightness in the top and shorter straps. I'm 3.5 months post-partum and while I'm almost to my pre-pregnancy size, I am not quite there and was shocked the 2 ended up being the right size for me. It was also a much better length. At 5'3 with 4" heels, it just skimmed the ground (would have preferred to wear shorter heels). The 4R was much too long even with my highest heels. Also, since I am breastfeeding, I am currently wearing a 32G (yep)... just to give you an idea of what this will look like if you have a larger chest! I feel like a perky C would be perfect in this dress. :)

Great work dress with some flair
Wore this for work meetings and liked the little detail of the skirt. The length is very appropriate when standing but I did have a panel presentation where I was sitting in front of a group, and the skirt did get a little short for that. Not bad, but with the "vents" in the skirt, it's definitely better to be presenting while standing. Fits very true to size, and it's a thicker material that lays well. Could be warm for the summer if you're going to be spending any time outside.

FUN color and detail
This photo obviously doesn't do the color justice... it is a beautiful, bright blue and received a ton of compliments that it was "my color." I'm a 2-4 and rented a 4 since it was for work meetings. I definitely could have worn a 2 but I think the 4 was perfect for work, so if you're looking for a sexier fit, wear your smaller of preferred sizes. The dress is very versatile and I would definitely consider renting it again... would be great for everything from work events to a daytime wedding or shower to a night out.

35th birthday date night with my hot husband and no kids!
This definitely runs small. I'm usually a 2 or 4 in dresses, and while the 4 "fit," it was very tight, especially in the chest, ribs and midsection (I'm a 32DD). I probably could have worn the 8 but the 6 was comfortable all night. Clearly, my pictures don't do the green justice... it's a lovely emerald green that pairs nicely with a gold statement necklace. My only complaint (hence the 4 stars) is that there was some odd stitching right on the hip/thigh area that made the fabric pucker (it was like this on both dresses). I got over it but not sure why it was stitched that way, and right on your saddlebag area.
