VERY short
This blouse is a very nice muted fall color, but its so short on me that it falls above my belly button.

Easy work dress
This is a light weight and easy to wear work dress for me. I am tall and I found the overall length to hit right at my knees. The arm length was also good on me, but I think that it may be an issue on anyone shorter. It ran large on me in the waist which was shocking considering I am middle heavy shape.

Beautiful fabric with rich color
I rented this dress to wear to a mother/son dance. The color and material of the dress were so beautiful. I would rent this again in a heartbeat. I am usually a size 14 and the XXLR fit perfectly.

Unique but a bit short
I rented this dress for a girls night out. It was VERY short on me. I am tall so this isn't a new problem. I will say that it was so short that I didn't even think wearing it with tights would have been appropriate for bending over or dancing. I sadly didn't wear it, but the sleeves and details on this dress are very beautiful and unique. If I were three inches shorter I would have danced the night away in it.

Lightweight and easy to wear
I liked this dress a lot. Its a light weight dress that is roomy and comfortable. I fit into both sizes, but the 14 was less bulky on top. It also comes with a belt.

Great fabric but HUGE
I rented this for a black tie wedding I was attending, but didn't end up wearing it because it was cut very large. I am apple shaped, and I cant remember the last time something was too large for my in the waist. I am not even sure that a size or two smaller would have worked. Otherwise it was a beautiful gown and I wish I could have made it work.

Loved this dress
This is one of my favorite rentals. Its was tight up top and loose past the waist. It made me look much smaller than I really am because of where it flared (covering my hips and booty!). This dress was great for my height, and I am not sure that shorter girls would like it. The sweetheart neckline is sexy yet covering enough to wear to a wedding.

Great fit and pretty material
I rented this dress for my high school reunion. I am apple shaped and have gained a bit of weight lately, so I needed something that would hide my problem areas. This dress totally did the trick! The material is thick and the length was perfect on me. I would absolutely rent this again.

Nice material, but ran large and was too short
I read the reviews before renting this dress, so I knew I should definitely size down. The material is thick and stretchy. I went once size down and most definitely could have gone down two. The only problem I had with this dress was that it was too short for me. It just didn't quite sit where it was supposed to. Beautiful material with a great neckline, but be careful tall ladies!

Strangely small sleeves
I rented this dress to wear to my sister's art show. The color and fabric were fun but still appropriate for the event. The body of the dress was a bit bigger and I wore the smaller of the two sizes I rented with a belt. Now lets talk about the sleeves on this. The upper part of the sleeves were small. Even in the bigger size. If your arms are you problem area, stay away from this dress. I don't even consider my arms an issue at all, and this dress was borderline too tight there. Other than that this is a fun dress and I got lots of compliments.

Beautiful material, but NOT for tall girls
I pulled this beautiful dress out of the box and was so excited to put it on. Got it zipped up only to find out it was WAY too short. I even tried to put on flats to wear it because I loved it so much. Even with flats the dress didn't get close to touching the ground and looked hilarious. The long just wasn't quite long enough. Other than that the dress is absolutely stunning and looked great on me.

Beautiful earring which MADE my outfit
I got so many compliments on these earrings. They were absolutely beautiful and I wish I had more places to wear them to. They aren't as heavy as they look, and I was able to wear them all night with no problems.

Great dress but made for an hourglass body shape!
I fit into the 12L perfectly, but then the sleeves and bottom were WAY too short. That forced me to wear the 14L which was boarderline too big. The draping is also significantly different than shown in the model picture. I would recommend going through some of the review pictures to get an actual idea of how this might drape on you. I think this dress was made for someone with a small waist and bigger hips, and not really for my apple shaped body. I was worried about the slit being too high, but it actually turned out quite tasteful. The material is thick and kept me warm for the evening formal wedding I went to in New York. The dress fit, but honestly did very little for me.

Beautiful dress
I would definitely recommend this dress for someone tall because it fell exactly on my knees where it should have. The material is also very thick and a bit heavy so be prepared for that. The dress fit me perfectly and I enjoyed wearing it!

Great color and nice fabric
Big booties beware! Everything on this dress fit beautifully except that chiffon pulled across my booty area. Although my fiance liked it, I thought the pulling in the back of the dress looked tacky. I didn't end up wearing this beauty even though the yellow looked great with my red hair.

Good color and flattering
I rented the 12 and 14 and both fit. I ended up wearing the bigger one because the fabric was less faded. You can tell that both of the dresses had been well work because the pink fabric in both was quite a bit faded. Other than that the dress was nice and worked out well for the bridal shower I wore it to.

The regular length is VERY short
I rented this dress but was unfortunately unable to wear it because of the length. I am a tall girl and normally a regular is the perfect length so I dont have to wear high heels. This dress was not that case. Anyone over 5'7 needs the long! Other than that, the dress was a nice light material and big on the top like all the other reviews stated.

Mystery jewelry that turned out beautiful!
These gorgous earrings were what arrived for my mystery jewelry that I rented. They looked nice with both of the dresses I rented. I was a little scared when I first saw them thinking they might be really heavy, but they actually werent! They turned out to be a great accessory to a wonderful wedding outfit.

Beautiful dress in a gorgeous color!
I was a little worried about about the pink color being too much for my pale skin and auburn hair, but it turned out to be a great choice. I am a very tall girl, so I decided to go for the long length. Even with some pretty tall wedges, the dress still swept the floor a little. If I could do it over again, I would have just chosen the regular. The zipper was also a total pain on this dress, but my mother-in-law worked her magic and it finally went up even though the dress obviously was the correct size. I also ordered the 16 in this dress, but it was really large on me on top. Overall I enjoyed this dress because it was light, fun, and made it easy to dance.

Loved the back of this dress!
The dress fit absolutely perfectly! My fiance and everyone at the wedding loved it. The back was beautiful and it hit all the right places. I usually wear a 14, but was glad I rented the 16 so I could dance, eat, and drink.
