Fun print - good for outdoor beach/lake/boathouse wedding
I liked the fun colors of this dress, which was unlike most dresses I wear. Paired really well with the hot pink Kate Spade necklace the model is wearing. I usually wear a 0 but rented the 2 because of past reviews and am glad I did. It felt a tad too big but I think the 0 would have been too tight in the chest area. The lower half was looser than I would have liked and wasn't the most flattering unless your arms were down or on your hips to control the fabric. Overall, good dress.

If you love big sparkly studs you'll love these
Beautiful blue pairs well with royal blue dresses. They are the perfect size for a large stud - noticeable but not overwhelming.

Heavy fabric - great color
Fabric is thick and heavy - be careful about wearing outside in heat or go up a size so it's not so tight. It was a little shorter on me than I would have liked, But overall a great dress, beautiful color, got lots of compliments.

Heavy fabric - casual but can be dressed up with jewelry
I loved this dress. It ran a bit large but was ok for the most part. I wish it had been a bit shorter. The fabric is heavy and feels high quality. Fun colors - looked great in pictures. It is somewhat low cut so be careful if you are busty and don't want to show a lot of cleavage.

Beautiful color - love the lace
Beautiful colored dress. Looks great in photos. Love the lace. Only issue was that the bottom half was kind of poofy, so it wasn't the most flattering unless you had your hands down or on your hips to control the fabric.

Very sparkly and fun
It's short! But otherwise a fun dress for a night out in Atlantic City. Very sparkly - lots of sequins.

Beautiful fabric but zipper bunches
Perhaps it was just the exact dress that I received, but the zipper bunched on the side (looked like it had been replaced poorly), which made the dress lose its shape around the waist. I didn't end up wearing it. Otherwise, the fabric is lovely, heavy, high quality and a beautiful color.

Fun accessory - doesn't fit a ton
Holds just enough, but it is a small clutch. Fun colors. Goes great with the long black one-shouldered Badgley Mischka gown.

Comfortable Fabric But Too Short
I am approximately 5' 4.5'' and the 0R was too short even without heels on. Once I put heels on it was really too short. The jeweled shoulder piece also felt quite tight under my arm, which was rather uncomfortable. Other than that the fabric felt nice and it was just a long black dress. I would not rent again.

Great dress - loved the color and material.
Really comfortable material. I wore the 0 and never actually tried on the 2. The 0 fit great but did feel a little short, as the stretchy material can ride up a little while dancing. The neckline is also pretty high so it cut right against my neck when sitting. But in general, true to size. Definitely need a backless (sticky) bra. Perfect for a cocktail party or spring wedding. Fun dress. Great colors. Easy to pair with accessories.

Bling
Fancy, sparkly, definitely statement jewelry. Probably too much bling for an outdoor wedding, but they'll pop in pictures if that's what you're going for.

Great color. Great fit.
I wore this to an outdoor wedding and it was great. Vibrant color. Fit really well and was comfortable even after eating dinner! The 2 fit me like a glove, so definitely true to size. Overall, I was very happy with this dress. Probably wouldn't rent it again just because I'm not in love with the style (felt/looked kind of like a toga), but it's a solid choice.

Very tight (it's Herve Leger). Stunningly bright color. Great fit.
I didn't end up wearing this dress because with sparkly jewelry it felt too fancy for an outdoor wedding. But it's a beautiful dress, and I'd rent it again for a cocktail party or formal event. Beautiful color. Really tight around my rib cage when I first zipped it up, but I think it would have adjusted with time. I only tried on the XS, but it was fine - the X may have felt a little large. The dress is a little longer than you may realize, but that's the style and it's classy.

These were really fun but definitely larger than I expected. Wasn't a bad thing - just be aware! Paired great with a gray dress.

Beautiful but fell off a lot
These are clip-on if I remember correctly, and one of the earrings was missing the rubber stay in the back. It fell off a lot and I had to scramble around on the dance floor to find it a few times. They may have fixed this by now, so check with a stylist. Otherwise, very pretty - I love big sparkly studs like this.

Gorgeous color. Love the lace. Very flattering.
I fell in love with this dress in the store. Looks great in pictures - definitely more of a royal blue. It fits purposefully tight and is flattering, as a result. Love the neckline. Got a ton of compliments on it. No need for lots of bling - the dress makes a statement itself. Don't be afraid to go down a size - I ordered a P and S only because I tried on the P in the store (they had a limited selection of sizes); would never otherwise have ordered the P but it worked out best.
