Liked it, but limited wow factor.
Comfy, fit well, but a bit low cut for my conservative office (although to be fair, I have a large bust). I liked this, but not a lot of wow factor.

The Perfect Black Wrap Dress
Leota
Size Worn: XXL

Unusual choice; didn't work well.
Fit is too snug... seems to run small. And just overall looked... strange. Not a favorite.

Rented for a semi-casual night on the town.
Fit nicely and super comfy. The sash on the back is a little heavy which seems to drag the top backward sometimes, but otherwise I loved it. Such a fun top! Would rent this again.

A perfect ballgown!
I seriously may not send this one back and may have to purchase it. I. LOVED. This. Gown. I recommend sticking with your regular size. I went up a size because I read there is no give in the fabric, and my bust size is ALWAYS a problem, so I gave myself some extra room. It fit beautifully going up a size, but I still had some room (which isn't obvious in the photo) and could have worn my regular instead. Was very happy I chose the long length (I'm 5'8") and it was the perfect length. My favorite part was I felt fantastic in the dress. I loved that I could wear a regular bra and that the cut and overall look were simple, but the fabric on the skirt is SO interesting and beautiful without being overblown, so it just felt elegant. Tons of compliments on this dress, and even though I'm not always comfortable with quite so much cleavage, overall I felt great in this. I was comfortable, appropriately dressed, and didn't feel self-conscious in this. It was very, very comfortable so I was able to enjoy the event completely (meaning I could sit comfortably at dinner, I could dance comfortably on the dance floor, and I could walk through exhibits and stand and chat with people comfortably without the dress becoming uncomfortable or getting in the way). Loved it! Definitely my favorite ball gown ever.

The perfect bag for a formal gala that still holds as much as I need!
I love finding a cute clutch for this sort of thing, but it seems they're never big enough to hold everything I want to fit inside without risking them bursting open. This adorable Halston Heritage bag was so fun and was the perfect size. It was dainty enough to be an appropriate clutch for the event, but it was still spacious enough inside to hold my cell phone, lip gloss, business cards, cash/cards/ID and still had a little room to drop the program inside as well. I would definitely rent this bag again! Haven't sent it back yet, actually, and am contemplating purchasing this cute little thing.

Beautiful dress, but not the one I chose.
I love this dress but found it to be quite short-waisted, especially in light of a large bust. The waistline was much too high. I chose a different dress ultimately, and despite the poor fit it was a beautiful gown!

Beautiful dress, but didn't make the cut.
I am 5'8" and would not have been able to wear the regular length at all. It barely came beneath my calves. Beautiful otherwise though!
