Classy and beautiful
I'm 5'3", 135lbs, 34DD. The 4R fit and looked better around the waist, but the 6R felt a bit more comfortable and I went with it because I was going to a gala and wanted to have space. The weight of the material is nice - good and heavy.

Cute dress, WAY TOO SHORT
Great dress and great color. I am 5'3" and the dress was WAAAY too short (my husband asked if it was a shirt).

Best dress I have ever rented!
Unfortunately I got sick and so there are no pics in this dress, which means I will be renting it again!!! It is amazing. I am a 34DD and I was able to get away with not wearing a bra with this, even for a sit down dinner. A bit of fashion tape just to be safe and off we went!

Perfect going out bag, would buy it if I could!!!
This bag is precious and there is a ton of room inside (I packed away two iPhones, lipstick, fashion tape and m&ms and there was still room to spare!).

Definitely a head turner, do not rent if you don't want attention!
The dress is absolutely stunning. It is fun and flirty without being too "over the top". I am 5'3", 130lbs and have a 34DD chest. The 4 fit me perfectly without being too clingy or too loose. Also, I was able to wear a standard strapless bra and there was absolutely no tugging to keep it up (a definite plus). For ladies my height, don't be discouraged by the length - I actually thought the little extra length was nice and balanced out the dress.

Super comfy and totally glam
Rented for a theater gala. This dress did not disappoint. Super comfortable, thick material (didn't arrive wrinkled, didn't wrinkle when I sat, able to wear spanx, but could have gone without). Beware of the train, though. Likely could have been solved by slightly higher heels on my part. Many compliments by friends and strangers all night!

Perfect New Years' Eve dress!
Dress was super cute and unexpectedly comfortable. I didn't wear a bra with it, but you probably could have (the back is slightly open, so try it out before).

Stunning color and style!
I have a 34 DD chest, so I wore the 6. My main complaint was that - even with a judicious amount of styling tape - the top did not stay put. There were a couple of close calls that made me really uncomfortable. I'd still recommend it, though, just be prepared. Pros: color was great, style was definitely classic but the slit made it fun, and it was breezy and cool. Cons: I am 5'3", so the slit was almost up to my hip, and the issue with the top.

Comfortable and cute!
Loved this romper. Pros: cute, comfortable, able to wear it without a bra (it's backless). Cons: the back seemed a little big (i.e., it didn't lay flat). I imagine if you had a longer torso, it would be fine.

Quite the standout!
I'm 5'3", 130, with a 34DD chest. I absolutely loved this dress: 1. It is "scuba" material, so it survived packing with minimal wrinkles. 2. The color is a true papaya (there is no filter on the pic). It was gorgeous among all the black and white dresses. 3. It was comfortable - definitely felt like I could move and dance and eat.

Loved everything about this dress!
I'm 5'3", 130lbs, with 34DD chest. I wore this dress with no bra and no problems! It was classy, but different. The back was sexy without being over the top. Loved everything about this dress!

Adorable, but makes a large chest look larger
I am 5'3", 135, 34DD I wore the 4, probably should have worn the 6. The dress was beautiful and beautifully made, I got a lot of compliments. The only issue I had was that I felt a little restrained (the top was a little too tight, but if I had worn the 6 it probably would have been fine). I would definitely recommend this dress to a smaller-chested woman for a brunch or spring party.

A MUST RENT!
I LOVE this dress. It was comfortable and elegant and really stood out in the sea of black gowns! 34DD chest, 28 inch waist, 34 inch hips - the 6 fit very comfortably (once I got it on - which was kinda hard to do on my own because it's a side zip, but not impossible). My husband actually offered to buy this dress for me he liked it so much!

Perfect size - very stylish!
Able to fit 2 iPhone 6s, a lipstick and my keys (but nothing else). Perfect for the evening.

Perfect date night dress!
Loved everything about this dress! I'm 5'3", 130, 34DD, and the 4 was great. Note: if you have athletic or "fleshy" arms...you might want to size up (it was JUST barely ok for me and I would have gone with the 6 just for the arms, but the booty looked a little funny on me).

Christmas Card photos are gonna sparkle this year!
Love love love this dress! I'm 5'3", 130, 34DD, and the 4R was perfect. I didn't wear a bra and it was fine (it was only for pictures - for an event, I would have figured something out). The length was a little shorter than I wanted it to be with 4 inch heels for me - if you're taller or if you want to wear taller shoes, get the long!

Felt so special at my bachelorette party!
I'm a curvy/short girl (5'3", 34DD) , so I was skeptical about renting a full sequin dress. The mini was the way to go - so cute and not super uncomfortable (the other reviewers were right about the sequins poking you, there is no lining, but this didn't bother me that much!) One note, I wore this dress without a bra because even my low plunge bras showed. There were no issues with that, just thought I'd mention it for reference.

Got so many compliments at my bridal shower, felt like a princess!
I wore this dress to my bridal shower, and it was great! Like many of the others noted, it's a little snug in the sleeves, so I sized up (I typically wear a 4 and the 6 was more comfortable). Just a note - I'm technically a 34DD, but that's not an option here. Everywhere else, the dress fit like a dream and the fabric was heavy enough to be comfortable for a cool event (mid-January) without being too warm. Would definitely recommend to any brides to be!!!

Perfect for an outdoor fall wedding!
I ordered both the 2 and the 4. The 2 fit fine, but it was a lot shorter than anticipated (and I'm 5'3"), so I went with the 4. The fabric is nice and heavy, without being too clingy, and the color (like the other reviewers said) is definitely more purple pink than straight pink. I loved it!!!

The look on my fiancé's face when he zipped it up!
Pro - the material is very substantial and forgiving (no need to wear spanx, very comfortable). Cons - on me, it was a little long, but I only wore 4 inch heels. Had you worn 4 1/2 inch or more heels, would have been better. Note - the gold material is sheer-ish. Plan to wear a nude colored bra with straps or go strapless (which I did and it was fine).
