Green Beauty!
This dress was fabulous. The cut is amazing and flattering and the color made my hazel eyes pop! I felt stunning and paired the dress with a red lip and sleek straight hair. I've been averaging a size 10 as of late, and the 8 fit perfectly. Also, as other reviewers have noted, the cleavage is subtle and not too much at all; however, I am an A cup. I will say the dress is LONG! I am 5'2" and wore the highest highest platform shoes in my collection. They were a cork platform and I didn't love them with the dress, but the dress went to the floor so you literally could not see them. Also, some of the stitching on the front of the bodice was coming out. That was very disappointing, but I was able to fix it up with some clear fabric tape. Overall, I felt like a million bucks in this dress. Highly recommend!

Beautiful & Flattering!
This dress was fabulous for a warm, outdoor barn wedding. The fit is true to size - I am a 10 and wore the L pretty comfortably, but I think if I were any bigger, I would not be able to wear this dress. The bow detail and draping in the front make this dress super flattering if you have a larger stomach. No spanx necessary. It was nice to wear a regular bra, too. And the sleeve on the dress was a good length that flattered the arms. I felt confident all night. I wore my hair up in a bun with dangly earrings. Something of note - the zipper on the back of the dress kept snagging the back of my updo, so it was VERY annoying having to fix it all night and continually having to put up the loose hairs with a bobby pin. It was hot, so it was nice to have my hair up, but if I wore this again, I would wear my hair down to avoid the snagging.

Cute LBD!
I wore this dress to a charity gala and it was super comfy and sharp. I liked the way it flared out at the bottom. And I loved the fancy statement necklace that I also rented. I would say I am in between an 8 and a 10, 150lbs, 34A and 5'2". The 10 worked well as I have very thick ribs and needed the extra room to get it zipped. My only complaint was that it did no favors for my chest. I needed double sided tape to keep the fabric down and the girls in. Because I'm bigger on the bottom and smaller on the top, the top on this dress was just too big for me. I made it work but in reality I needed like a 6 up top and 10 from the ribs down. I probably won't rent again for that reason but if you are more proportionate than I am, I highly recommend this LBD!

Beautiful dress, beautiful colors!
I loved this dress and wore it to a summer wedding at a country club. It fit well and was very comfortable. I would say normally I'm between an 8 and 10, about 150lbs, A cup and 5'2". I rented the 6 and 8 - I didn't try on the 6 bc the 8 was perfect. I'm short and didn't feel that it was too long. And the beige slip totally changes the look of the dress for the good! The only negative was that the green lace neckline at the top gaped out in the back. I had my hair in a low bun and the zipper kept snagging it because it was gaping out away from my back. It wasn't horrible looking but constantly fixing my bun sucked. If I had to do it again, I would wear my hair long for sure just to cover that whole situation.

Wedding whimsical!
This dress is so comfortable!! Although it runs large (go one-two sizes down) it's flowy and the colors are beautiful. I like how it looked like two pieces. I got a few compliments and enjoyed twirling on the dance floor. I did feel like it made me look "bigger" because of how much fabric there is plus I am short at 5'2" so it was midi length on me. But overall I didn't mind. This dress was perfect for a Rhode Island summer wedding!

Beautiful colors!!
This dress is well constructed. It stayed up nicely, no bra needed, although I wore one bc I am small busted. I actually have pretty big ribs so the boning on the inside was poking me all night. I regret not getting the 8P as a back up. I am a solid 6-8 and short, and the 6P was a nice length, but it was very tight on my torso. However, I got compliments all night long so I just tried to ignore it! The colors are just beautiful and people gushed over it. I loved wearing this dress!!!

Gala Showstopper!
This dress was so beautiful. A little worn but not really noticeable. The top was stretched out as is said in other reviews. I had five different pieces of fabric tape to hold it up. I should have safety pinned it. I am a solid size 6-8 right now, small busted and short @ 5'2"; the 4P was a great length but big up top, and I couldn't get the 2P over my hips. I went with the 4P and it really was such a stunning dress. I wouldn't recommend wearing this to an event if there is a lot of dancing because I wore off the fabric tape with minimal dancing. It wasn't falling down but I have pretty big ribs so I think that helped. All of that said, I received so many compliments and a couple hundred likes on FB! Haha! This dress made me feel like a million bucks.

30th bday romper!
This was a very comfortable romper for my 30th birthday bowling party. It runs very big! I'm currently a size 6 and the 2 fit well. It's loose and flowy. I had to pull the drawstring pretty tight to accentuate my waist. The shorts aren't too short either which I loved! Overall a great rental but beware the size - if you are normally a size 2 or under, this will not fit you! I suggest a 0 for those who are a size 4. Enjoy!

So much flow!
This dress was very comfortable and had a loose fit. Semi-drop waist and twisted neckline were cool touches as well. I'm currently a size 6 and the 4 fit well. I got a 6 as my back up but should have gotten a 2 as my back up as this runs dress runs big; perhaps a 2 would have fit me just a little bit better. It's not the most stunning dress I've ever rented but I did have a woman at the wedding tell me I looked very elegant as I was twirling on the dance floor. Overall a good rental for a jazzed up barn wedding.

Beautiful bright color!
These earrings are totally gorgeous. They are more blue than green. I wore them with the Monique Lhiullier ML Sunshine Day Gown. It was the perfect pop of blue for a yellow dress. They were bigger than I thought they would be - but that wasn't a bad thing - I still loved them and thought they looked great. Not super heavy and I danced the night away without even noticing they were on.

Funky lace, beautiful color!
This dress was very beautiful and the color is fantastic. Unlike other reviewers who said this dress ran large, I thought it was true to size - at least for a girl with curves! I'm usually a 4, but ordered the 2, and I thought the 2 was too snug. It fit nice in the top (I have a small chest), but from the waist down, it was a tight squeeze. Thankfully, I wore spanx which helped tremendously, so I was able to wear it to the rehearsal dinner. I wouldn't have worn it to a wedding - wouldn't have been comfortable to dance in! The lace on the neckline was also very high and came up my neck a little too much. It felt weird, and I fidgeted with it all night. I had ironed the lace on the neckline down flat before I wore it which helped. Overall, I got a lot of compliments on how pretty the dress was, but I wasn't overly comfortable and wouldn't rent again.

Lovely dress!
The styling of this dress is beautiful. The jeweled waist and open back are wonderful details. I have a small chest so I had to use a little bit of fashion tape to keep the scoop neckline from gaping open and revealing my girls! But no bra was necessary. The gold and pink tones to this dress are also cool! It looks very old-world and is super flattering, especially for girls with hips and a tummy. Loved this dress!!

The colors and fit were fab!
This dress was awesome and perfect for a black tie optional wedding. I have hips and a small chest and this dress was still flattering and fit great. Definitely true to size. I am 5'2" and wore 4in gold wedges. The dress dragged on the ground about 1/2-1in but I didn't trip and it didn't look sloppy. Even dancing all night the length was fine. I was very hot though, the dress is well lined and after dancing up a storm, I was so sweaty! Overall a great rental! Side note - this dress was delivered quite wrinkled, so I took it to the dry cleaners for a quick steam. $10 well spent and made all the difference.

Stunner!
I received so many compliments in this dress! My boyfriend asked if I could buy it because he thought I looked so stunning in it. I am 5'2" and the petite length was perfect on me in 3 in heels. I ordered the 2P and 4P. The 4P was returned damaged so I was only able to get the 2P. I read from other reviews that this dress ran big so I thought it would be fine. It was actually VERY tight in my torso, because I have very big ribs. I would have preferred the 4P for sure, but thankfully I was still able to make the 2P work. I used fashion tape to hold it up on top in all the right places. Great dress! Will rent again!

Stunning lady in red!
This dress was so beautiful and fit perfectly. Had to size down. I also steamed some of the bottom layers so that the tulle laid more flat. I got so many compliments and felt like a princess. I twirled around on the dance floor all night! And a bonus is that you can wear a regular bra with it. It was very comfortable and the length was perfect (although I am 5'2"). Highly recommend this dress!

Knock-out dress but bad zipper!
This dress was a showstopper. I felt absolutely beautiful in this. I am 5'2" and I thought the length was a bit conservative for a night on the town; however, I wore it to a fancy fundraising event and thought it was totally appropriate and classy. I received a ton of compliments. My only complaint was that the zipper was totally broke, as in the teeth of the zipper were not connected in a very small section of the zipper around the top middle of the dress. My mom helped me work on it for about an hour and she was finally able to get the teeth connected; we used a small safety pin to secure it. Therefore, I couldn't zipper it down all the way, so it was a bit tricky to get on and off. But overall loved the way it looked! Also, be careful of any potentially spikey jewelry on your wrist or fingers as the material will snag!
