Comfortable and pretty but a bit long
I rented the 4R (alternate size not available). The regular length was approx 1" too long for my 5'5" height even in 3.5" heels. The thought of wearing 4.5" heels to dance all night was not appealing, so I opted not to wear the dress. Aside from the length, the dress was comfortable and not fussy. More casual than other full-length dresses.

Beautiful dress but tough fit
The dress was brand new and there weren't reviews when I rented it, so hopefully these details are useful to others. I am usually a 4 or 6 but went for the 6 given it's a French brand - that worked well for the waist. The top, however, has a lot of material and would have needed a much larger chest (than my b cup) to fill it out. I could have spent a lot of time pinning it, but opted not to and went with something I already owned. Elegant dress, with a great open back, if you have the right body for it.

Received many compliments on this dress
The top of this dress was very snug on me, so I could not wear a bra, although there is built in wiring, so this wasn't a big deal. The Regular length was not as long as I expected it to be. I wore it with 2.5-3" heels, and I would have preferred it be an inch longer (I'm 5'5").

I ended up returning the dress without wearing it, as it was SHORT!
I rented this dress for a wedding, where I intended to dance, and when I lifted my arms, my bottom was no longer covered. So it had to go back. I guess it could work for a cocktail party where you are not dancing or sitting.

So many compliments
I got many, many compliments on this dress. It is really stunning - classy and sexy at the same time. I did not quite fill the bust out, so when I taped it, I pulled the fabric a bit higher. It is form-fitting, which is great once it's on, but I had to wiggle in and out of it! I usual wear a 2 or 4 in daytime dresses, but find I am typically a 6 in formal dresses.

Beautiful bracelet
I love the look of this bracelet. I have small wrists and it began to slip off my wrists twice during the night. I ended up wearing it a bit higher on my arm so I didn't lose it.
