If only the proportions were right
Beautiful colors and design, however it was super tight on my hips and overly large across the bust.

Buttons and overlay, beautiful!
This dress caught my eye and even though I'm not a huge fan of the color I had to rent it for a photo shoot I was doing. When I took it out of the bag I was slightly disappointed, it looked cheaper than I imagined but was still super pretty.The length was perfect for wearing 3.5in heels. The fabric for the skirt of the dress is not the silk chiffon I wish it were. The hem would catch on my heels if I wasn't careful of how I walked. The back is dramatic, the long line of buttons with the sheerness is breathtaking. I wouldn't rent this dress again but I'm not sorry about renting it one time.

Eh
I wore this dress for a photoshoot. I'm not the skinniest nor most toned person in the world, and I'm relatively flat-chested so this was a dress I rented more for the experience. This dress looked AWFUL on me. In person it was eh. In photographs the dress itself is gorgeous. I would not rent this again. I had to wear the size up from what I normally would due to availability and it was still tight across my hips while far to big for my chest. I was actually worried about flashing the photographer! Length-wise it was actually kind short on me. The only thing that dragged while barefoot was the train, and that's supposed to drag so by the time I put on heels it was slightly too short in the front.

Incredible Construction
This dress is amazing, the detail that went into making it is incredible. The dress has a built in corset, no need for a bra. It wasn't nearly as heavy as I thought it would be. I wore it for a photoshoot and it photographed the best of the 5 dress I wore. The hem isn't as "naturally worn" as it appears, it is a finished hem for sure. I would definitely rent again if an occasion came up. The cost to rent is well worth it for the quality of the dress.

Eh
I rented this for my mother who is 5'2" and 140lbs, she didn't particularly like it. The collar was weird in that it didn't lay right (it's just a short piece of fabric that isn't sewn to the inside of the dress.) Another comment she made was that the dress looked matronly.

Pretty
This dress is pretty, but it doesn't have the same sheen as it does in the photo. I rented this for my mother who normally wears a 6 or 8, the 8 was super tight and the seams were even twisting. She's 5'2" and 140lbs. The dress hit a little below her knees. It was rented for a 50th anniversary but wasn't dressy enough, even if it had fit.

The Vote Is In Dress

Weird fit, gorgeous fabric
First of all the fabric was amazing, navy blue background but the design had plenty of shiny teal thread to bring life, color and interest to the dress. Unfortunately it had the weirdest fit. The chest was HUGE, while the bottom squished my hips to the point I was afraid to sit because I might tear it. If you have a larger chest with smaller hips then I think it would fit you well, but not someone with practically no chest. The straps were floating about my shoulders when I tried the dress on because it rode up. The back was pretty, I wasn't sure but when I saw it I thought it was gorgeous. The back where it looks like a wrap around is actually sewn so there isn't a worry about flashing anyone, which is always good!

Gorgeous
This is a beautiful dress, I love the deep emerald color. It fits true to size, however I didn't end up wearing it as I was in between the 4 and 6 and it was my backup dress.

Green Tropics Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: None

Fits great!
I rented both the small and medium and decided to wear the small. The small fit really tight at the beginning of the evening but it loosened up a bit after about an hour. I recommend wearing spanx underneath just to smooth out any bumps even though the dress is basically pretty spanx! In pictures if you don't stand quite right and you have larger hips it does accentuate them because of the stripes. Overall I don't think I'd rent this again because of the accentuation of my hips. One plus is that if aren't blessed in the chest area it gives you pretty good cleavage! :)

Instant Chemistry Dress
Hervé Léger

Sparkly!
So it was a bit smaller than I expected, it holds a lipstick and a pair of those fold up shoes and that's about it. It was gorgeous! The color was a beautiful red as shown and it sparkled with even a little bit of light and was a great contrast to my navy blue dress. I would probably not rent it again because of it's size but it was great to try once.

Cute, but not perfect
I rented this cuff to wear with the Red Rococo Dress but it ended up being big. I do have a rather small wrist, 5.5". It was pretty but it was a bit more yellow gold than I thought it would be when I rented it. The cuff opens on the front so it isn't a big deal to get it on your wrist.

Sculpted Branch Cuff

Cute and Comfy
I rented both the 4 and 6. I could've definitely worn either dress but chose the 4 because it simply fit better. The bottom hem has a very stiff edge that makes it poof out, but that can be made a bit less uncontrolled by proper ironing. I wore a skinny black patent leather belt over the seam under the bust which made the dress. I also wore the Crystal Vine Earrings by Alexis Bittar. Compliments definitely flowed freely, from both friends and strangers alike.

Great Dress
This dress fit amazingly! I could have worn either the 6 or 8 but ended up wearing the 8 because it was in better shape. By the end of prom it had stretched out a tiny bit and the side without the strap started to sag. The pockets are great for holding lipstick or lipgloss, however to get to them you have to navigate through the super flowy layers of silk chiffon. I would be willing to buy this dress as it is a great staple, I would most certainly rent it again if I don't end up buying it!

An OK Dress
I rented the 6 and 8, the 6 fit perfectly however, the stitching detail paired with the multiple layers of fabric led to weird bumps and bulges. The dress was very tight on my hips in both the 6 and 8. I didn't end up wearing this dress because of these issues. If you're thin and straight then it would probably look great on you. The detail at the bust is pretty, but not enough to overcome the weird bulges that can be unflattering.
