Beautiful dress with just the right amount of "wow"!
This dress fits true to size, I think I could have worn the 2 but it's so fitted and the lace and material does not have any give so the 4 was better. The back really makes this dress and I got so many compliments. The color is rich and flattering. It was nice to be able to wear something that wasn't too flashy but still a little fun!

Soooooo comfortable! Like walking around all night in your jammies :)
This dress fits like a dream. The material is heavy, so despite the cut outs and lace, it really does keep you warm if you are wearing in colder weather. It's form flattering, but not tight. The fabric is soft and it's seriously like you're wearing your favorite cozy bath robe - ha! I'm strongly considering buying this just to have it on hand, for, like everything.

So comfortable and very flattering. Seriously felt like I was wearing a warm pair of jammies ;)
I ordered this dress because I have a baby bump I'm not quite ready to announce to the Facebook world. I'm usually a size 2, but ordered the 4 and 6 because of weight gain - especially in my chest. The 4 was perfect, I'm 3 months if that helps anyone in my same situation. This dress was beyond comfortable, the material is fabulous. despite feeling bloated and yucky I got a lot of compliments, would highly recommend!

Fun little red dress...
I rented this dress as a backup, but ended up wearing if because my husband loved it :) What the other reviewers said is true, the hips/butt are very tight. I don't even have hips (have a very boyish/athletic body) and this was a workout to get on. Once it was on, everything was good...but going to the potty was a bit of a challenge, ha. The chest area in this dress is not the most flattering and I had to wear a strapless bra to get a good shape up top. I think part of what was due to the fact that the boning in the dress is clearly worn out from so many wears...but the fabric and look of the dress were still topnotch. If you have any sort of hip/booty, I would order a size up.

Didn't wear this one, but lovely.
I rented to dresses and went with another one, but this is very flattering! I feel it was a bit longer than it appears in the picture, but the fabric is nice and thick, very good quality, and hugs your body just right. The neckline on this is great! I will probably rent it again for another event.

I've matched my husband's blues with red and blue gowns in the past...gold is so much more fun!
I usually purchase dresses for these types of events, but it really is a waste when you only realistically wear them once. For this event we decided to go last minute so I FINALLY rented the runway. What a great process! The dresses came right on time, they were in pretty great shape considering and sending them back was a snap. I saw a lot of mixed reviews about the length of this dress -- I am 5'7" 125 and the 2R fit great. Maybe a little tight in the chest area, but the 4 was too big overall. I did wear the heels from my wedding which were intentionally short, about 2" (can't be taller than the groom haha). There was a little length on the floor -- much like the model's picture -- but not enough to trip over, and enough to get away with a 3-4 inch heel. Overall I was thrilled with this whole process and this dress was absolutely stunning.
