I wanted to go with a dress that is a little different than what I usually wear. I tend to lean towards dresses that fit tighter to the body and this one is more soft and flowy. This a perfect (and appropriate) choice for a birthday dinner with my boyfriend and his mom for her 70th birthday.I paired it with a leather jacket to give it a little more edge, but it looks great without it as well. I was a little worried that some reviews said that the bust area/neckline was too loose and gapped open, but both dresses (0 and 2) had the neckline sewn together, so it stayed in place. I ended up wearing size 0 and it fit perfectly. My only negative comment is that the fabric is a little itchy--mainly the sleeves, but everything else was great. Not necessarily a show-stopper, but very pretty...and I did receive a lot of compliments.

This dress is a head-turner and I would definitely rent again. I wore this to a black-tie wedding was approached by strangers and friends asking about it all night. I'm usually a 0-2, so was a little worried that a second size wasn't available, but was relieved when the 38R fit. This dress is form-fitting, which means it shows every curve (my boyfriend LOVED that part!). I tried to wear spanx underneath, but because I didn't have the type that goes to the thigh, it showed the panty-line and I couldn't wear them. I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath...just had to pull the back strap down far enough to hide it. You can also put in bra pads instead if you need the extra coverage. I wore 3 inch heels and the length was perfect. The only negative is that you're limited in movement, especially for dancing....the hip area is a bit tight and you can't raise your arms very high...but honestly, the dress was so gorgeous, I didn't even care!
