Good material and fit, but long
The material was sturdier than I expected from the pic and felt well-made. I've worn more 4s recently, but went with the 6 because I have a larger rib cage and there isn't any give in the material. Because the difference was due to my body type though, I'd still say it's true to size. The length was longer than I would have liked, hitting me (5'5") about mid-shin, which is my only complaint, because it looked a little frumpier due to that. Otherwise, it was comfy, fit well, and was a good shape.

Lovely - wish I got to wear it!
The dress was great! It was comfortable, fit true to size, and as others have mentioned, the material in the front helps to hide anything extra you might want to cover. It was slightly longer than I would have ideally liked (I'm 5'5") but I still really liked it. I was planning to wear it with black tights and a jean jacket, but unfortunately didn't get the chance because I played it safe with the covid-19 concerns and did not attend my event :( I would definitely rent again though!

Great dress
This was a great dress that got lots of compliments. It feels sturdy and was in a good condition. Very comfortable and flattering. The dress was true to size. There's not much give in the top portion, but I have a large rib cage and was still able to fit easily and still breathe. Loved this rental and would recommend.

Great for New Years Eve Masquerade
The dress fit great and was really comfortable all night. The only downsides were that the hanger straps kept sliding out (and there were four of them!) and as another reviewer noted, the hip area gets kind of bunch-y if you don't have the hips to fill it out. However I don't think it was noticeable and it wasn't that big of a deal for me. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Pretty dress but unflattering on me
I rented this dress for a wedding and was so excited to try it on, but once it was on it just didn't look quite right. I usually wear a size 6 and the 6 fit, but for someone who has wider set breasts, a larger rib cage, and athletic build, it didn't work with the low, wide v neck. The dress was beautiful and I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work for me.

Nice for a semi formal wedding
The dress worked great, fit well, and looked beautiful. I got a compliment as soon as I got out of the car! There was a small snag in the top when I got it but was not noticeable so I chose to wear it anyway. As others have noted, the liner underneath tends to get bunched up, but I was able to smooth it (mostly) out by using a hot iron and holding it straight until it cooled. The dress also poked in some areas but wasn't unbearable and I wore it for several hours. Overall some small things that keep it from being 5 stars, but I really liked the dress and would recommend it.
