So Feminine!
This dress was pure perfection. The colors are dreamy and ethereal. I ended up going with a different choice for this occasion but would rent this one again! I'm 165 lbs, 5'7", 36B and tried on the size 10. You'll need help with the zipper!

Perfection
This was an overnight back up dress, and ended up working perfectly! The colors are gorgeous. I'm a 36B and I wore a push-up bra with it. I ended up taking the bra off during the evening because I felt like it showed too much cleavage and I got self conscious (see pic sitting for reference). It works well either way! I'm 5'7" and wore a 2 inch heel. The dress hit just at the top of my feet. You'll need a helper to zip! I would rent again.

Didn't end up wearing
I rented this for my husband's work party and was really looking forward to wearing it. The material/color is gorgeous and feminine!! Unfortunately, I hated the way it looked on my chest. Not flattering at all. It smashed what little chest I do have (36B), and the seams across the chest just made weird boob lumps. I went with my backup choice. I was in such a hurry to take it off that I forgot to get a pic.

Shimmery Glam
I didn't even bother trying on the L because the belt on the XL was SNUG (and is not removeable) on my 30/31 inch waist. The length and fit otherwise was perfect. I wore a low cut bra with a low back closure that worked perfectly and got lots of compliments on the look. The material is very thin and completely see through even with the sheer slip layer. I recommend wearing a slip if you'll be in sunlight. Gold and black accessories match best. I wore this to my husband's annual work party. Currently 180 lbs, 5'7", pear shaped and wore XL.

Blah
This was my backup dress. It's just ok. Fits TTS, but zero wow factor. Went with something more vibrant for my event.

Couldn't get it zipped
This dress is BEAUTIFUL but not a great fit for girls with long torsos. The band wasn't empire, but it also wasn't at the waist, which just made me look like a pregnant fairy (and I'm neither of those things). It looked absolutely ridiculous. I also couldn't get it zipped and I don't have a large chest (I rented the 8 and 10, neither would zip). Busty girls may need to size up. If you can find the size that fits and you're short waisted, this is going to look great on you!

The colors are gorgeous
I'm a pear shape. Normally size 8/10 on top and 12 on bottom. 170 pounds. 5'7". This was my backup dress, I only wore it because the colors were so amazing. It was very tight, I couldn't take a deep breath all night and I felt like my boobs (36B) were on center stage. If you are busty, size up! It also rode up a bit in the hip area. I thought the dress was yellow from the pictures on the model, but it is actually chartreuse with lovely shades of pink and violet. I would probably not rent it again but I'm glad I have it a shot for one night.

Danced the Night Away
This dress is LOVELY! I had a stranger tell me I looked like I belonged at the Golden Globes. This is probably my all time favorite rental. That being said, it is very hard to zip, I'd say impossible without my husband's help. The bodice is very form-fitting with zero give. Choose your dress size according to your upper body size. I wouldn't recommend for women with larger than a C cup chest. This dress is perfect for pear shaped ladies!

Didn't get to wear them.
I didn't get to wear these because the jumpsuit I rented didn't work out. The earrings are bright and festive, but very large. I would guess about 3 inches long. I would rent again for the right occasion.

Didn't Get to Wear It
It was too warm the week I rented this dress so I didn't get to wear it. I did try it on though, and the medium fit perfect. I have a small waist and ample booty (size 10/12), so in my opinion this runs large. It would be really cute with navy tights and boots. Could be dressed up or down. Really cute and I would rent again.

Perfect dress for a perfect day!
The fabric is beautiful and vibrant. I rented this for a day of winery hopping with my husband. It was a bit short for my preference (I have a bubble butt so everything is shorter in the back) but aside from that was perfect!

Such vibrant colors!
Cons: The weird tie around the neck that cannot be removed. I double wrapped mine and tied it on the side which looked pretty cute. It was also a little tight in the hips and tried to ride up while dancing, but I don't think anyone noticed due to the layers of ruffles. Curvy girls and pears should probably size up. It's also a bit itchy. Pros: Length was perfect for a semi formal event. The colors are amazing and the quality is great. It's a unique and stand out dress. I highly recommend.

I didn't get to wear it.
I had rented this for an outdoor concert in September but did not get to wear it due to cold rainy weather. I ordered the medium and large, both fit but I was going to wear the large for added length (40's mom bod). For reference I wear a size 8 top, 10/12 bottom. It is really adorable and would work well for any body type in the correct size!

Vacation Vibes
I rented this for an evening in Mexico. The fabric was much heavier than I expected and had a textured pattern that I couldn't tell from the pictures. It runs very large as others have said. I normally wear a 10/12 bottom (pear shaped), 170 pounds, 36C, and I wore the 6 in this dress with no problem. Definitely size down! It's as lovely, flowy, and comfy dress that would be great for a wedding, baby shower, tropical vacation, or summer date night!

This dress stood out in a sea of red!
Fit was true to size. The fabric is thick with a nice texture, and of course the pockets are so handy! I wore this to the Heart Ball where most women had on red and couldn't have been happier with my choice. I was able to eat, drink, and dance in comfort all night long! This was the only picture I could get to upload but I hope you can see the textured fabric.

I am a size 10/12 on the bottom half and I wore this in a large. I did wear Spanx to smooth out the silhouette. The material is so soft and very stretchy. Great for work or date night!

Love at first sight!
I fell in LOVE the minute I unzipped the bag. The material is such a beautiful merlot color. I am pear shaped (normally a 6 on top and 10/12 bottom, 5'7") and I wore the size 6 in this dress. It was extremely comfortable. You'll need sticky boobs to wear this dress. I didn't like that mine showed a little on the sides, so I went without and used the little petal nipple covers instead. Rent this dress, you won't be disappointed. Small chested girls size down for sure!

The best LBD
This dress fit true to size. I am pear shaped. I ordered the 10 and the 12, both fit fine but I wore the 10 because it accentuated my waist a bit more than the other. I bought a black shapewear slip to wear under it and I'm so glad I did. The slit in the dress was cut very high and i thought it was too revealing while sitting. Standing and dancing were very comfortable.

Beautiful, vibrant red!
This dress has no stretch. If you have a booty/hips, I suggest going up one size. I am a pear shape. Size 6 upper body, size 8-10 lower body and I needed the 12 in this. It's flowy and feminine. I wore this to an outdoor concert and dinner for my birthday and would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful!
This dress is perfect for all you fellow "pears". I am very small on my upper half (34B, size 4-6) and larger on my bottom (size 10). I wore the size 6 and it fit great, I did need to keep pulling it up while dancing though. Probably could've gotten by with the size 4! Felt beautiful and regal!!!

Perfect pop of color in a room of black and white!
I am a "pear shape" with a size 4/6 upper body and a size 8/10 bottom half. I'm 5'7" and rented the 6L. This dress was the perfect fit. It covered all the problem areas and showed off the good ones. The material is nice and thick and helped me to stay warm for my husband's work party (held in January). It was comfortable to dance in, photographed well, and I'm still receiving compliments a week later. Rent this dress, you won't be sorry!!

This dress is amazing!
The deep pockets on this dress are a definite plus. They're big enough to carry around your lipstick or any other personal item you want to keep with you! I found the dress to fit true to size and was made of a nice good quality fabric. I wore this dress to the American Heart Association Heart Ball and felt like a princess!
