Gorgeous, elegant, effortless, would rent again and again!
The fabric is so terrific. It hangs well, is not overly heavy and does not wrinkle. The color is beautifully rich. It was perfect for a wedding. It has a fairly open back and sides. I have B cups so I didn't wear a bra. It hid my panza/fuppa so nicely and gave me that "small" waist look without pinching me. Honestly, I was so pleased with how it looked that I didn't even think about side-boob until afterwards. I hope I didn't give anyone an inappropriate view but I felt so great that I didn't care. You might want to tan up on the shoulders. Wish I would have. The top is held on with 2 buttons behind your neck. I double checked the buttons were secured. It was such a great choice. I felt so good all day long. Hope you do too. Oh the skirt has volume, so if you spin on the dance floor, it will flare out but the fabric is heavy enough to keep it down to knee, thigh level. I guess if you spin really hard, you could achieve Marilyn Monroe fame. I didn't and I still felt great.

The color is gorgeous but not formal enough for a wedding...and the tie thingy. Weird.
I tried this on for a wedding and didn't wear it. The color is amazing but the fabric is summer casual, not formal wedding. The skirt is wrinkled and who wants to iron when you're trying to put your makeup on? As you can see, there's a side tie that looks strange like a large chicharron. It's not flattering and there's no way to hide it. It's a great dress for a fun event where you can look sporty...or if you want to iron the whole thing to death.

Ruching. My new best friend. Gorgeous color & fun for NYE
I wasn't too sure about this dress. It looks like a hot mess on the hanger but once you put it on. Magic! Fabric has a bit of shine to it and it's silky. With all the ruching, you can make it hit all the right places and hide all the wrong ones. It has some pull on strings at the bottom so you can hike it up or let it down. Fun to wear and ended up being sexy! Would rent again for another party!

It has pockets! It's very comfortable. Gorgeous blue color. Fabric is so nice.
I wore this to a Cinco de Mayo scholarship gala. it was so elegant and while the fabric is not see-through, it is not so thick to make you sweat. It was fun to dance in, and didn't flip or flare out too much to be worried about showing any cheek as you spin. I'd buy it if I had a good reason to keep it. Wore it with a regular bra. Definitely hid the menopause belly.

So elegant!! Heavy fabric.
I felt like I was at a fancy ball in this dress. It's stunning if you are looking for something elegant and classy. The fit covers up the mid-section very nicely. Fabric is heavy but not hot. I would definitely rent it again for a formal affair.

Gorgeus jewel color, side tail a little too long
Got this for an award ceremony and it was a deep, shiny jewel tone. Fit was great! The only thing to watch out for is the side "tail" that sweeps all the way down to the floor. If you are short or not wearing 4 inch heels, it might drag on the ground. Pinned it up to avoid tripping and it was really beautiful.

Beautiful, but seriously size up
I tried this dress before in a size 8. Wouldn't even zip up. But the fabric and style was so beautiful that I sized up to a 10 and triend again. I squeezed into it because a 12 wasn't available. It's such a gorgeous dress. Satiny fabric, fun print, perfect for a summer night wedding. And no joke but consider 1 or 2 sizes above your normal size. I could barely breathe but it was worth it.

Awesome style and color but the zipper though...
Other reviews give fair warning about this dress. The color is gorgeous. The fit is great and it even hides the stomach area really well. Heels will keep it from dragging on the floor. I had to push the plastic boning back in a bit to keep it from poking me. And the slit is definitely high up. But I put my napkin on my lap when I sat and that helped. The straps are really long and kept falling so we used a bracelet in the back to pull them all in together. Problem solved. As everyone has said, the zipper is really wonky. I had to get help pulling it up and and down. Would I rent it again? I got this for a gala and it fits so well...but the zipper and straps...I might take it again if I couldn't find something that was such a flattering fit and fun color.

Really cool wrap dress but needs a button up top
Wanted something cute but potentially warm for a fall wedding. I loved the drape and sleeve length of this. The fabric is gorgeous and it fit cute. But the top gaps wide open. Didn't want to but had to use a cami underneath. Still, it was cute and worked great with tights and boots.

Rented this dress for a family photo. It is a gorgeous bright color. It has pockets!
This dress is true to size- very flattering. The side slit runs up high on the leg but it's partially hidden because of the full skirt. The fabric is medium weight and perfect for fall or spring weather. Very bright pink color.

Perfect party dress!
It has pockets! And the fabric is a minty color with a soft texture. So elegant but understated! The weight of the fabric is perfect so that when you're spinning on the dance floor, no one can see your chones. Got this for a summer quinceanera and even though it warm, the dress was not hot. Would definitely get it again!
