Loved them, bought them!
Rented on a whim for my beach wedding; and ended up wearing to the rehearsal party. They were bigger than expected and SO outside my comfort zone, but I loved wearing them and received so many compliments from both family and strangers. You'll notice you're wearing them but they weren't too heavy to wear for a night. I hated returning them, and a few weeks later ended up ordering them new from Nordstrom.

Color is fantasic, too much for big chested girls
I absolutely loved the color, and the fit was great but even with fashion tape it was too risqué for my (36C) chest. My friend wore it and looked great. I wish I could have made this work!

Cute but large
Cute top, very pretty color and extremely well made. I usually wear a large in tops due to my shoulders and chest, but this was a little too big, so I'd size down next time

Surprised how much I liked it!
I'm a little short, heavy and curvy (5'2, size 10-12, 36c) so I thought rompers were a no-go for my figure. I rented this as part of my unlimited just to try it and was surprised how much I liked it on! Will definitely wear.

Loved the colors but really short
I'm 5 foot two and I can't believe I'm saying this, but this dress was really really short! It was a very pretty dress and had some stretch to it, so it was forgiving, however it was just too short in the backside. I am somewhat (though not terribly! I wear regular size 8-10 pants, not curvy cut) curvy and I think that really made it unwearable. My friend ended up wearing it who is actually several inches taller than me, however she's much more slender in the hips and butt than me. She wore it with black tights and booties and I thought she looked outstanding. When she had it on with nude stockings it was way too short still. I think you should only consider this dress if you are slender with not much lower body curves and considerate with tights unless you are young and don't mind showing off a lot of of the back of your thighs!

Nice
I rented this for a museum benefit that had a theme that encouraged colorful outfits. As some of the other renters said the colors on this dress are much more muted and dark in person than in the pictures. Having said that it was still a lovely dress and quite slimming. It periodically struck me when I saw my reflection or a picture that it was a little 1980's Miami Vice retro, but it certainly was unique.

Color is absolutely gorgeous
I rented this as part of my unlimited subscription with the hopes of wearing to a wedding. I generally tend to wear between an eight and a 10 in standard clothes but will sometimes rent a 12 in eveningwear. They only had the 10 so I figured I would give that a try. Unfortunately it was a bit too small as I expected but the dress was absolutely smashing. It is a little bit long and I would've struggled to wear it even in 4 inch heels but I think had it fit I would've dealt with it.

Quite pretty but didn't "wow" me
I rented this as part of my unlimited subscription thinking that I would wear it for a wedding. It was quite pretty but not quite the statement piece I was hoping for. I don't generally like big rhinestone pieces because I feel like that's what I wore for prom decades ago, so I generally like more of a crystal look (if that makes sense). I felt like these looked more like pieces of glass. If I didn't know it was an Oscar I would not think this was a very expensive piece at all. I didn't end up wearing it for the wedding but having said all that I would consider re-renting this for a dinner or a night out when I want to look good but I'm not expecting to look spectacular

Bland, both in cut and color
I was really hoping to like this dress. It was actually pretty comfortable to wear but I looked like a bland bridesmaid in it. It did not stand out at all. I ended up not wearing it.

Nice mix
I could not decide if I wanted to wear pearls or sparkles for my jewelry. This set allowed a nice mix of both.

Beautiful gown
I normally don't love one shoulder dresses on me because I'm a little curvy and I think this style looks better on taller, more slender women, but I really liked this on me. The navy is very dark and from more than a short distance away this looks all-black (even more-so in evening lighting). It runs long; I'm 5'3" and wore 4 inch heels and was still tripping on the hemline.

Gorgeous dress
Wore for a black tie wedding. I'm 5'3" and normally wear 10-12, and the 12 fit better though could have done the 10 in a pinch. Wore with 4" heels and still fought the length all night, but this is pretty standard for regular length dresses for me (I don't know how all these <5'3" women wear regular dresses without them wrapping around their ankles) Flattering around the midsection, and was able to do without Spanx or a bra, though admittedly it would have probably looked a wee bit better had I worn them. Wound rent again.

Classy and stylish
This was my backup dress for a somewhat conservative event where I was going to be onstage to receive an award, so was very worried about how I'd look. I'm short (which makes a lot of standard fit dresses look ill-fitted on me) and recently put some weight on, so I was nervous about renting anything without trying it on first. This was a great dress. The material is a little heavy, so it might be too much for warm weather or summer events. The ruching is very forgiving, though I had to adjust from time to time throughout the night. I'm between a 10 and 12 right now, and the 10 fit nicely, hugged the (right) curves and minimized the wrong ones. Not too long on my 5'3" frame with heels, but I think it'd be too long on anyone shorter than me, especially since it's a lot of material. The side slit wasn't a problem on me (reference my short height) but would be a bit racy for anyone over 5'5--but a nice touch to make an otherwise conservative dress sexy without looking trampy. Received lots of compliments, definitely stood out in the right way in a room of black dresses, and was told by my mom (my toughest customer) that I should buy this dress.

Fabulous and classy! Lots of compliments!
This is such a beautiful and classy statement necklace. Wore it with a high neckline to a formal, somewhat conservative event and it was perfect! A little heavy, nothing I minded but if a heavy-ish necklace is something that bothers you, you might feel it by night's end. I would rent again without hesitation.

Not for me
Pretty dress but did nothing for my curvy, slightly overweight figure. The event I rented it for was cancelled last minute (therefore no pictures) thankfully because I probably wouldn't have worn it. Better for a taller, slimmer woman than shorter rounder gals like myself.

Loved these!
I rented these for a formal event. I also rented the Ciner antique Cherish necklace as I wanted to make the necklace my "wow" piece of jewelry for the night, so I needed a smaller pair of elegant earrings and these were perfect! I put them on at work as soon as I got the day before and people stopped me to compliment me on them right away. Everyone thought they were real diamonds. A really beautiful pair of earrings you can't go wrong with.

Gorgeous and elegant. Wish I owned it!
I rented this for a formal event to jazz up a cocktail dress I owned. It was beautiful and I got complimented on it all night by both friends and several strangers. It's not too heavy and I had no problem wearing it all night. There is a lot of details in the chain (those are little feathers in between each pendant) which I didn't love up close, but overall came together as a gorgeous necklace. I matched them with Crislu First Kiss earrings.
