So comfortable!
I really wanted this dress to work for me! The material at the top is so soft and comfortable, I could have worn it non-stop! The bottom skirt is really cute, but faux leather has no stretch and this was just a little smaller than I was comfortable in - the top stretched fine, but the seam where the bottom connects hit right at my largest point around my butt, so it flared out in an unflattering way. If there was an XL option, I would have scooped it up in a heart beat! I would say that this is a true large.

Came with a tear
This dress was a nice heavy material. It has a great fit and flare cut that would have been fun for dancing. The dress I received had a tear in the back seam so I couldn't wear it, but I would rent again!

Wonderful feeling material
I didn't get to wear this dress, because mine came with a hole in the back, at the zipper. I loved this dress! I'm an 18, but sized up to a 22 based on other reviews and availability. The top was a little loose, but it was comfortable and still looked great. The blue is brighter than pictured. It's Royal and very nice. I think this would have been a blast to dance in and the pockets were an added bonus. I will try renting again when I have another occasion.

So comfortable!
This dress was my back up, but I ended up wearing it. My lower body is a size larger than my upper body so the top fit a little looser than I would have liked, but it was very comfortable. There is a little stretch so it was great to sit and dance in. If you're worried about the arms, there was plenty of room and I consider myself to have large upper arms. I wore black peep toe heels and pearls to keep it classic. I would definitely recommend.

So comfortable and gorgeous!
I rented this for an evening wedding in a art gallery. The fit was unbelievably comfortable! There is no stretch, but you won't need it. The sleeves were a little bit long for me, but the elastic keeps them from covering you hands. The sequins are rose gold, almost copper, and don't sparkle like typical sequins. There is some shine without being over the top and they were itchy or rough. I received so many compliments and was comfortable all night. Other reviewers mention garments looking worn. Mine came with tags on it, but by the end of the night, there were a few stray threads. I was a little extra cautious when getting in and out of the car and things like that, so I wouldn't snag.

I didn't end up wearing it.
I sized up in this dress, because I was worried about the slim fit. The top felt much larger than the bottom and I couldn't get the shoulders to lie flat. It felt like it would have been work to wear the dress, so I opted for another. These issues may all have been related to it being too big. The color was gorgeous and the fabric was soft with a lot of stretch.

I recorded so many compliments on the color!
I wore this to a formal, outdoor wedding. The color was gorgeous and I received a ton of compliments on it. There is a lot of flowy material in the top layer, but the inside has a fitted liner. In comfortable temperatures, this would have been perfect, but the humidity made it cling and the beading on the collar was a little irritating. I'm 5'6" and this was just above the ground in 2.5 inch heels. A strapless bra was necessary for me, but a small bust could probably get away without a bra.
Greek Islands Gown

It was more casual than I was hoping for.
I didn't end up wearing this dress. It fit my upper body well (typically an L), but my lower body is a size 18 and the waist was too snug for comfort. The material and neckline are beautiful. I'm 5"6' and the sheer bands across the legs were higher than I expected. There was a little too much thigh showing for a formal wedding.
Key Maxi

Gorgeous colors
My size wasn't available and I ended up going a size larger to be safe. It was admittedly too big on me, but it was so gorgeous, I ended up wearing it to a beach wedding anyway. I got a ton of compliments! I wore nude sandals, the length on my 5'5" frame was only an inch or so too long in flats. This dress does require a convertible or strapless bra.

Beautiful fabric and fit
This dress was beautiful. It fit true to size and I ordered it as a back up. The back was longer than I expected - I'm 5'5" and it was close to my heels. There was plenty of room for a large bust and the midsection was relatively loose, nothing requiring Spanx. I did have to wear a convertible bra and cross the straps in the back. Overall, I would definitely recommend!
