Great holiday party dress!
Fit is true to size. Color is great for fall weddings or holiday parties. Fabric is thick and forgiving. Very comfortable and flattering!

Beautiful pattern!
I LOVED this dress. Rented for a wedding. It's slightly on the larger size, so I would size down for the backup. Very flattering. Material is thick. Perfect for a spring or summer wedding!

So flattering!
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner. I would say it's on the smaller end of the size spectrum, but still fit. A little short, and tight in the rib and boob area. D cups be warned. Otherwise I loved it and it would rent again in a heartbeat!

Love this dress!
I agree with the other reviews for sizing -- this dress runs small. The neckline is very flattering and the color is a pretty pale blue. Chest is on full display in this dress; not for busty ladies!

Casual and cute!
Dress is true to size and hits right at knee (I'm 5'7"). The horizontal stripes right at the waist are not the most flattering, but loved the overall fit and neckline. Very comfortable. I wore to a rehearsal dinner, but too casual for the wedding. Good daytime dress!

Heidi Dress

Perfect size
Wonderful clutch! It's the perfect size -- you're able to include an iPhone, cash, credit cards, lipstick and keys. I used this for a black tie wedding. It would work well with a variety of colors (I had a navy blue dress). Would definitely recommend!

Silver Lattice Clutch

Chic but nothing special
I was really looking forward to this dress, but was disappointed. The dress is heavy because of the fabric. The bottom comes to an abrupt halt (versus something that flows more naturally) and I wasn't exactly a fan of that. I think it has the potential to look great on other people, just not for me! Runs a bit on the larger size. I would size down for back up because of the stretchy material.

Sexy and comfortable
LOVED this dress. I wore it to a winter black tie wedding in San Francisco. It's very comfortable - possible to wear without bra or spanx. It's figure flattering and slimming because of the color and fabric. Runs true to size. I went a size up for the back up size and actually wish that I had gone a size down since the fabric is stretchy. The cut out is in a flattering area -- Still hides your tummy.

Fearless Midnight Gown

Unique shape, not for everyone
I chose to not wear this dress because of the shape. I have an "athletic" body and I think this dress made me look heavier than I am. The fabric is thick--almost like a wetsuit. The red is an orange red color. Would look great on other people, just not for me!

Rouge Trumpet Dress

Cute, unique clutch for semi formal or formal events
I loved this clutch! It's unique and interesting. Large enough to include cash, credit cards, lipstick, and iPhone. I rented this for a holiday party. It looked great with my red dress!

Coronation Clutch

Festive color!
The dress is true to size and comfortable. It's a little bit loose on top, but not too noticeable. The neckline is flattering. The color is a beautiful, deep red and perfect for holiday parties. The skirt is fun and flowy. Overall I would definitely rent again!

Fun color
I wore this dress to a summer wedding shower. I love the color, and the fun neck and hemline. I added a belt because it's a bit shapeless around the waist. I would recommend for some warm weather event.

Love the neckline on this dress!
This is a hot, tight dress. It's very fitted in a flattering way – sucks everything in. The neckline is very flattering and makes you look toned and athletic. I would definitely recommend for a party or cocktail attire event. The dress tends to ride up when you walk or sit, so be careful.

Classy dress!
This dress is very classic – perfect for a garden party or graduation. The gold stripes add flair. It runs a little big. I would size down for the back-up dress. Definitely recommend!

Great dress, just not fun enough for New Years Eve
I rented two dresses for New Years Eve – this one and a gold one with sequins. Although I love this dress and would love to wear it again, but I chose the other one since it was better for New Years. Fits true to size and is a great color. Would definitely recommend.

So much sparkle.
GREAT for New Years Eve (what I wore it for) or a bachelorette party. Lots of sparkle. Fits true to size, but is a little tight and revealing in the midsection. If you're self conscious about your midsection, I probably wouldn't recommend this dress. The fabric is pretty thin and doesn't hold things in.

Fun dress, true to size. Really easy and comfortable to wear. Wore it to a dinner cruise and danced the night away! I would definitely recommend for a casual night out or a date. GREAT color.

Great color!
LOVED this dress. Wore it to my college graduation! It has a great, vibrant tangerine color (less red, more orange). It's a little short, so be careful with that. Also, the fabric on top is a little loose, so I was constantly worrying about my boobs being out. I bet some fabric tape that would fix the problem. I would definitely recommend!

Okay dress, wouldn't recommend
The fabric is a little too thin. I would definitely recommend going with another dress! It is a beautiful color though, exactly like the picture.

Super short, but fun!
Beware -- the dress is really short. But if you're okay with that, it's great for a party or a night out! The color is a little more orange in real life.

Usual Size: 8

A good option, but...
I really like the color of this dress, but it's not that pretty up close. The fabric looks a little cheap and I don't know if I would pay $1400 to buy it. Other than that, it fit really well and is definitely flattering. I ordered a "long" because I was worried about the length (I'm 5'7"), but it fit just right. It's definitely a good option for a formal event. However, I went with a different dress that seemed more glamorous to me.

Beautiful dress!
This dress was absolutely beautiful and I received a lot of complements. The fabric is great – very pretty up close. I ordered a "long" because I was worried it might be too short (I'm 5'7"). It ended up being a tiny bit too long, but it worked out just fine. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone else! I wore it to my boyfriend's Navy Birthday Ball. It was very glamorous.

I rented two dresses for graduation weekend, and both were perfect!
I absolutely LOVE this dress. It's a beautiful color. I wish I could keep it! The photo does not do this dress justice. It's perfect for a wedding, graduation, or other life event. I wore it to my boyfriend's commissioning ceremony into the Navy -- received lots of complements!
