Great dress for meeting the family over Thanksgiving
I needed to make a good impression on my boyfriends parents meeting them for the first time, and this dress was perfect! I'm glad I ordered a size up in the 4, because the arms fit verrrry tight. I have an athletic build and muscular arms, so I would recommend doing the same if you have a similar body type. Other than that, the fit was great, wasn't too tight even for a big thanksgiving dinner, and I was pretty comfortable! Good pick.

Perfect for a "Yule Ball" themed holiday party
I wore this dress to my work holiday party which was "Yule Ball" themed. I love Nha Khanh's designs, and I had been dying to try out this dress! The bodice and ribbon around the waste bridging to the skirt was MUCH tighter than I had originally anticipated, but I was able to squeeze into the size 4. I'm not a tall person either, and I had to wear my very tallest platform heels for this one. Even so, it still grazed the ground, and I admittedly tripped a couple times. Other than that, I will still give it 5 stars because it truly is a magical gown. Compliments left and right, and it wonderfully fit the theme.

Truly a showstopper
I felt like a complete bombshell in this sexy number! I wore this for an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. His jaw dropped when I walked into the living room! Looking at the fit, it definitely runs on the small side. The 4 wasn't available, and I was just able to squeeze into the size 2. Mostly the top of the dress is where the tightness comes from, and it eases it's way down from the hips to the hem. I have bigger / curvier hips, and this dress was surprisingly forgiving in that area! Would rent again, just maybe not for a big steak dinner :)

Beautiful dress for a day at the wineries
Beautiful flowing dress perfect for a day of wine touring in the country. Fit true to size. Only complaint would be tightness in the neck and a bit in the arms when you try to raise them. I'd definitely rent this dress again! My boyfriend and my mother loved it and kept commenting on the dress. Love the unique sleeve details (that also hide flaws if you're self conscious about your arms!) Good pick.

Perfect for a country wedding
Wore this little number to my cousin's wedding, and it was a big hit! The country wedding was more casual, and was difficult to find the right type of dress. This was perfect! Glad I ended up receiving the size 4. I am pretty thin around the waist, but a 2 might have been fine, but just a little bit more snug all over. In the 4, I could move, groove, and dance all night. Nothing felt too tight or too loose. I loved this dress and will rent again! My boyfriend has even told me that he wants to buy it for me :) Great success.

Original dress I ordered, ended up using backup.
I fell in love with this dress, and the longer version as well (would have rented the gown version but it was way too formal / flashy for a wedding). Ordered a 0 and a 2. I'm smaller up top but have large hips, so I figured the 0 /2 would be fine. I received an email saying that the renter before destroyed the size 2, so they let me choose another dress while still sending me the size 0. I don't have a photo for when I tried it on the 0, but it looked incredible! Perfect length, not too long, not too short, form fitting, and very elegant for a short dress. I'm not too girly and would never normally order a "princess" type dress. This dress was feminine, but definitely had an edge - especially considering your freedom when accessorizing. Will rent again probably for a sorority formal. I think this would look gorgeous in the winter. They sent me another Nha Khanh, the Noir Timeless Love Gown which was flawless and ended up working perfectly for my event.

Perfect yet subtle statement to a dramatic gown.
Beautiful earrings -- not too heavy. Don't look cheap at all. I loved the shape and how they moved. Only problem with my rental was that they didn't come with backs / stoppers so they kept falling out of my ears. I didn't have any other earrings with me to use their backs for more security, but all in all, these perfected the romantic look I was going for at a formal wedding.

Looks better on screen than in person
I love the design of this Moshino clutch, but it was absolutely tiny! I could barely fit my phone and keys in it, let alone tissues and lipstick. I ended up holding the rest of my personal items in my hands for most of the night. It's super cute, just not large enough to be functional and hold personal items (for me at least)

Nha Khanh designs are flawless.
Wore this to a formal wedding as the Best Man's date. This was actually a backup dress. I intended to rent the Nha Khanh Karla Dress, but the size 2 I ordered was destroyed by the previous renter. Initially super upset about it, customer service was awesome and hooked me up with this dress instead. I ordered a 2R and 4R, because the Karla size they sent me was a 0, one of them HAD to fit. I tried the Karla on first in the 0 and it fit perfectly. I loved it. But the look on my boyfriend and his mother's face when I tried on this gown was priceless. The lace and tulle work beautifully together, and definitely accentuates your curves! I have a more athletic build, but also have hips and a butt. This dress hugged ALL the right curves, it wasn't too tight, and the stretch in the fabric is very forgiving. So so pleased with this rental, I didn't want to return this dress, let a lone take it off at the end of the night!!! Looks much better in person than on the screen. Absolutely stunning.
