Looked like a star at my bridal shower!
LOVED this jumpsuit. Fit like a glove, nice thick material, and the cutouts were very flattering. Lots of people said I looked like I lost weight (I didn't, rude!) but that meant the fit was super flattering so I didn't mind. Definitely gave an edgier look than the traditional dress, which I loved. I'm short, so the length was a bit long, but you can't really tell with the heels I wore. It's tough to wear a bra that doesn't show - you don't really need one bc the material is thick, but I wanted some lift, so I was able to wear one with clear sticky side tabs that you couldn't even see. Only annoying part was going to the bathroom is SO difficult because the zipper goes all the way up to your neck almost in the back, so it definitely takes some creative arm bending and wiggling. Totally worth it though, loved the look!

Very classy, but needed to be ironed and I didn't have time for that!
I listened to reviews and sized up and am VERY glad I did. My normal size didn't zip up but one size bigger fit perfectly. This was actually very cute, but came wrinkled and I liked the other style I got more and didn't end up wearing this. I'm short, so I think the legs were supposed to be Capri-like but they were down to my ankles instead, it still looked good though! Definitely not for the small-chested either. There was a lot of room in the top and I would've had to tape it down so I didn't have a wardrobe malfunction when I sat down. Overall it was nice, just not the look I was going for at my bridal shower!

The color, neckline, sheer leg panels, a showstopper!
I looooved this jumpsuit. It was so comfortable, and surprisingly one of the easier jumpsuits I've worn in terms of taking it off to use the restroom. The legs are really unique, flowy enough to look like a maxi dress at a glance, but slits up the side with sheer paneling that make you do a double take. Looks gorgeous flowing and moving while dancing! Deep red color also makes you stand out in a sea of LBDs

Beautiful and unique, but my normal size was too small
Fabric and colors were gorgeous, but I didn't listen to reviews and only got my normal size and a size down (since my waist is smaller and I didn't want it to be baggy). I could zip it up, but couldn't breathe it was so tight around my rib cage! DEFINITELY size up, wish I did and wish I could've worn it!

The nude liner/tulle gives this little red dress a hint of sexy, while keeping the look classy!
The tulle gives the skirt a very soft, full look - perfect for pear-shapes with bigger thighs/bottom. The red lace and nude underlay makes you feel sexy, although the dress offers complete coverage with this modest cut. This dress has a beautiful silhouette, and the material will make you feel opulent as you wear it. Overall, this dress is sophisticated, and classy, with a bit of sex appeal, and a fun, full, girlish skirt. Moves great when dancing too!

The color of this dress pops, the full skirt is figure-flattering, and the cut-out back is sexy!
The pictures don't do the colors of this dress justice. It's a very pretty hot pink that looks like light pink since it is intertwined with gold. The fit of the skirt is great for girls that have fuller hips/bottom. The cut-out back looks gorgeous, but I imagine larger chested girls would have some trouble fitting in the top, as it's pretty tight with no stretch. Since there is no sretch, definitely size up if you are between sizes, as the waist can be tight and doesn't have any stretch either Also, the bra situation is difficult. I was going to do a stick-on bra, but with summer and an outdoor wedding, those slip off with sweat. Instead i wore a strapless bra and tucked the back strap into the cup and secured it with some fashion tape. It would be fine to wear without a bra, the fabric would be thick enough and is lined, but i opted for a little boost/lift and the bra I used worked out fine and wasn't noticeable. Overall, I felt great in this dress, it's very feminine and super unique!

Heard "I LOVE your romper!" all night long!
This was a fantastic rental. It looked classy and formal with the lace, yet was sexy with the high shorts. It was a head-turner for sure and the compliments kept coming! It has pockets, which is always a plus. The only real con is it is impossible to go to the bathroom in this without help. Like most rompers and jumpsuits, you have to take it completely off to use the restroom. There is a zipper and a clasp in the back that you have to undo in order to get it off. That being said, it was worth the annoyance to wear this show-stopper!

Didn't get to wear it - the cutouts were too baggy and the dress was unforgivingly clingy
Definitely size down, this runs large and the cutouts look saggy when it doesn't fit right. Also, if you have any sort of stomach that isn't washboard flat, it will show. The fabric is stretchy but hugs your body like a glove. The length is very classy, and if it fit I may have worn it

The lace was stunning
This dress is beautiful. The lace detail was intricate and well made. The color was unique and definitely pops in a crowd. The lace sleeves were perfect for fall. The length was perfect and it was extremely comfortable and easy to dance the night away in. Got many compliments, loved it!

I felt like a vintage beauty, and was told that I looked "striking" in my dress!
Pros: This is a unique dress that stands out in a crowd. It is very conservative, even though the cut out back adds a bit of sexiness. The fabric is nice, definitely fancy enough for a wedding or formal affair. The bows add a sweet feminine touch. I got many compliments on the dress and felt beautiful! Cons: The top bow is held by a snap and kept falling off throughout the night. My boyfriend had to keep re-snapping it because it wouldn't stay. So maybe bring a safety pin in case it happens to you. Also, this dress appears loose and free flowing, but in the picture you can see the sides are actually just draping and it is very fitted throughout the butt/thigh area. Since I've got a bubble butt and thick thighs, it was very tight in that area (no stretch), so I had to size up even though the top of the normal size fit well. So size up if you are worried about the bottom fitting too small. Otherwise, it fit nicely and was very comfortable!

It didn't come off like another brand of adhesive bra did last time I wore one!
The sides aren't too sticky that they hurt, but definitely stay in place, even with a little sweat from the dance floor. The ends curled up a bit, but the bra never came off. Worked great with my backless dress!

Everyone was in a dress so I definitely stood out in this edgy romper!
This was such an awesome romper, I wish I owned it! The fabric is thick and perfect for winter, with or without pantyhose underneath. I had no issues with the snap or cleavage showing, I was covered just enough and it never showed too much. The belt cinches at the perfect spot, and this outfit hugged my curves in the best way! My boyfriend loved it, I felt awesome in it, id definitely rent it again in a heartbeat!

This dress is the epitome of sexy meets classy; I felt like a million bucks!
This dress is AMAZING. So unique, you are sure to stand out in a crowd. The top is awesome because you can wear a regular bra without it showing, but it does run tight. If I was any bigger than a 34B, I probably wouldn't have been able to breathe in it. The flare at the bottom is lovely, the only con is if you are sitting on the white mesh stripes, they can dig in to your thigh and be a little uncomfortable. Luckily, i was up and moving most of the wedding. The small cons are SO worth getting the dress though. Overall it was super comfortable and looked very classy. It is a dark navy blue and a fancy looking fabric, so definitely dressy enough for formal events (I wore mine to a black tie optional wedding at a country club). Favorite dress I've ever worn and very flattering. Both sizes fit but the bigger one fit better, so I'd size up if you are in between sizes like me. Get it for your next summer wedding!

I felt beautiful in this shiny cocktail dress, it really shows off your legs!
I ordered this dress becuase I was working the DC Emmy awards (I'm a cheerleader for a DC sports team) and was told I needed to wear a short, red cocktail dress. For the most part, it looked great. However, I agree with other reviews that the back can get a little short and the draping looks a little funny at times. I've got some curves but also a small waist and unfortunatly this dress doesn't flatter the waist. It made me look "boxy" with loose material hanging at my sides. I fit into both the S and XS (I usually wear mediums). If you aren't trying to show off your waist, this is a great dress. It flatters curves in a great way. But if you have an hourglass, beware! It'll make you look like you don't.
