Perfect for tall pears.
Got this for my birthday date with my husband. After gaining weight during the pandemic, I was feeling a little down and was worried none of my rentals would fit, but this one made me feel great for the night. It's comfy and flirty, not too short, and not see-through even though the material is so light. I will probably rent this again.

In love. Would wear daily if i could.
If this isn't available foe you to rent, it's cause I kept it all summer - sorry! I really love this colorful jumpsuit which is summery, baggy, comfy, and still somehow hip. Even my husband commented that it was cute. Wore it to get a pedicure and the big legs were easy to roll up. Perfect length for me - usually jumpsuits are a no-go for tall people, but this is perfect!

Classy and sexy for a formal dinner.
I loved this dress even though the fit wasn't perfect on me. Tailored dresses don't often work for me because I'm tall so usually the extra fabric for the tush is too high. But this one hugged great on back. It also doesn't hide a rounded tummy so be prepared for anything not flat to show. The bust was a bit too big so the sides winged out a bit, but it actually made the top of the dress look nice. Sharing this not-flattering pic so you can see what I mean about the tummy area. Overall the dress looked a lot nicer than this. I would recommend but I wouldn't rent again.

Easy to wear, but see-through!
This dress is pretty low-cut and the drawstring is right under the bust instead of at the waist. I had planned to wear this to work but I wore it for Halloween instead. As we were out trick-or-treating, my husband said: i see London, i see France.... Be sure to wear a slip with this one! I didn't think this dress flattered my pear shape. It wasn't terrible but it accentuated my hips.

Boxy and VERY warm
This might be good for an outdoor event but it's too hot for the office. It's also really boxy. I probably could have been six months pregnant and you would't have noticed in this sweater.

Too big for me. Made me look pregnant.
The fit made me look broad across the shoulders and made my bust look low. It was really big and the V in the back gaped. Was hoping to wear this over pants but it's too unflattering.

Such a fun, comfortable, bright frock for a party!
This one definitely runs large, so I ordered one size down and it wasn't snug at all. I was worried it might be too short, but the high- low hit me right above the knee in the front. Perfect for pear-shapes!

It's an $800 coat. Husband said I looked like a bag lady
I usually wear a L, but after that was way too big, I tried the S. The coat fit fine but just didn't look good. Also the color is much darker in person than in photos.

Not great for Pears. Still a gorgeous dress.
This was very big in the bust, so I couldn't wear it. It's a gorgeous dress though. The color and details make it so special. I'm sure it's great on apple and hourglass shapes. I'm a 36c and even with a padded bra I couldn't come close to filling the top.

Big in the bust. Makes me look huge!
The dress was the perfect length, but that was the only good thing about this dress for me. The sleeves are restrictive, but at the same time, the bust is way too big. The bottom of the gown made me look three times as big as I am. This is not a good choice for pear shapes with smaller busts.

Gorgeous dress but not for my body type
I'm a pear and instead of accentuating my busy, this just made me look bigger all over. I ended up not wearing it. Probably good for apples!

Too big in the bust for 36 c
I loved the fit of this dress everywhere else, but ultimately I couldn't wear it because the busy gapped at the top and revealed my strapless bra. Better suited for hourglass than pear shaped.

Larger than expected, in a good way!
These were the perfect size and color to compliment my off the shoulder blush gown. Very well made and comfortable. Not heavy. Didn't get caught on my long hair at all.

Beautiful at the ballet
I wore this gown to the ballet and dinner at the Met. I received compliments all night long - from the bathroom attendant and even other guests in the restaurant! The material is thick and the corset stays up. I didn't need to wear a bra or any support undies and at 7 months post-partum that is a dream! The off the shoulder look is so now but i loved that i could wear the straps up too, which was better for riding the subway. I'm 5'11" and the back of this dress still hit the ground, so shorter ladies, be prepared! I had to hold up the back of the dress while i was running around public transportation. But I actually loved that!!

Perfect for a South Beach stay
Rented these for a trip to Miami and the went with everything! I felt beautiful and colorful with them on. The petals are slightly translucent and gorgeous. I wish i could buy these!

It's a stunner.
Love this dress. The material is bright and feels silky smooth, yet it hides panty lines and bumps. The busy was a bit big for me but the length was perfect. Shorter ladies may have a problem because it is so long. Overall my favorite rtr yet.

This is a gorgeous dress but NOT a good fit for pears. I'm 5'11", 36B, and usually wear an 8 in dresses. The bottom of the 8 was a bit snug and the top was too big to wear without worry. The bottom of the 10 fit better, but the top was gapingly large. Would be a beautiful dress on hourglass girls.
