Slimming Fit - Hourglass Delight
Loved how the ruffles outline my curves and distracted from my tummy. At 5'3, a little long but I didn't mind it. Perfect! Wore to work and afterwards to a date. Loved: color, fit, sleeves, ruffles I'm 10 or 12; wore the 12 to be safe, but found it was overall slightly big. Next time renting the 10.

Day to night
Classic work appropriate dress with subtle, slice of sexiness neckline is great if you have a date night after work. Love the sleeves - skip wearing a jacket.

Sexy Spy
Great fit for hourglass figures. I have hips and big bust -- this was ever so slightly loose all over - very comfortable. Love the neck detail. There is a slight pattern/texture to the material that I didn't mind since it's all black. I may rent size 10 for a more fitted look.

Date night - black and white dress with this pop of burgundy/red. Slightly smaller than anticipated; however still great size for a date night and fit everything.

Simple dress
Rented size 12 and it fit. Simple dress. Didn't wear, choose something else. Would def have needed statement jewelry.

Falls short
Beautiful pattern. Maybe would have wore if I were in my 20s. Cons: thin material (seemed cheap), too short (even at 5'3), too tight - would have sizes up to 12 (or 14 hoping for extra length). Pockets at first thought the dress was inside out but realized small flaps on pockets vs discrete. Length not appropriate in professional office. Did not wear. Will not rent again.

Day to night
Wore to office then out to a date. Great fit! - Love the sleeves went down to my elbows. - Dress had a "wrap" dress appearance without any bust area fit issues since it's full coverage up top. - Overall shows off your curves in a sexy, conservative way Lovely!

Runs small - not as stretchy
Typically wear between 10/12, 5'3 and busty. Size 12 felt too tight and did not wear. If material were more stretchy or sizes up it may have been more comfortable.

Great for curves
I'm 5'3 hourglass with big bust - in between size 10 or 12. Slimming, conservative dress - def for hourglass figures. The pleats hit my curves right on and showed off my waist nicely. But overall a bit loose. Didn't wear. Re-ordering size down in 10.
Navy Jessica Dress

Flimsy Material
Very thin material. Think t-shirt. Loved the pattern. Wish material thicker - static kept dress sticking vs flowing. Maybe will try it again the summer time or on holiday.

Size Worn: NONE

Boxy
Hourglass figure in boxy leather added pounds to my figure. Did not wear.

Too busty
Great fit all around except too low cut in the front of dress for work. I'm full bust and looking for more coverage; didn't wear. Conservative dress; stylish, flows and comfortable. Maybe better if taller.

curvy hips - size up
Very long sleeves (which could easily tick under) Need a size up to 12 for curvy hips Dress is perfect for tall, slender folks

Runs big
Rented size 10, but too exposing for big bust. Couldn't wrap it tighter to close the front together more - too big. I'm true hourglass, size 8 may have been better.

BF bday / sexy-conservative
Very sexy for hourglass figures. The sleeves were a little long so bunched up to my elbows and looked very sharp. Silky material that flowed. Very feminine. Great fit -- when sitting down twist hits in a way that puts focus on your bust (and not tummy). Considering to buy - great fall/winter/spring pattern.

Sexy leather side panels / spanx friendly
Do not wear deodorant while trying on - slips over your head like a t-shirt; avoid stains. TONS of stretch - thicker, stretchy material conforms to your body. I felt like cat woman. All the reviews were right "like a glove". I have a tummy, but with spanx this dress looks amazing! Plus! The side leather panels will really show off your hourglass curves and slimming! Winner dress for bf's bday dinner.

Conservative twist
Beautiful dress with lots of details. Intricate pattern. I'm solid hourglass figure - the dress does a great job fitting up top but puts too much of an emphasis on hips.. Did not wear on date, but would consider for a dressy work event.

Electric - Static
Loved the pattern! Thin material, shorter, very long sleeves (hung down to my knuckles instead of wrist area) and lots of static electricity - serious cling. Wore a different dress.

Fit everywhere except capped sleeves felt tight. Returned and did not wear; instead liked another dress better.
