Classic and stunning
Slightly larger than expected but completely beautiful! Were especially striking against my dark hair.

Very comfortable, flattering, and stunning!
Fit is very comfortable. Cut is extremely flattering. The texture is interesting without being overwhelming, and has an understated elegance. Wore to a black tie wedding and received many compliments - would definitely recommend. Note that the second photo shows worn with a shawl, to cover shoulders in the church. (:

Beautiful and quirky
Beautiful earrings! They came as a stylist surprise and were lovely and striking. I did not wear to my event because I had another pair picked out, but I would recommend these - they also look more rich in person than they do in the picture.

Chantilly Garden Earrings
Alexis Bittar
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 165lbs
Bust: 34C
Comfortable and attention-getting
Fit is loose in bust (very comfortable), much tighter fit in the waist. The color is a bit more bright than the picture - a bold color and definitely attention-getting (I thought it looked really nice), but not quite as pastel as the color on the model appears. The fabric was a bit thinner than I expected, and as a result has some very nice draping and movement. I did not ultimately wear this dress to my event (it was my back up to the Derek Dress by Slate & Willow, which was just AWESOME), but loved wearing it and would totally rent it again.

Neon Nightlife Dress
SACHIN BABI
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 165lbs
Bust: 34C
Loved it - slinky, sexy, and flattering
This dress felt like a dream - the material is beautiful and it fits wonderfully. The ruching is a great design element, but it also makes the dress more forgiving than I would have thought. Loved wearing this dress, felt amazing all night. The dress is full length - with high heels (4ish inches), the length was perfect I happened to wear this dress to a halloween party - I was a "sexy catfish" (hence the strange hair and makeup). Got compliments all night.

Great sparkle
Great sparkle, clearly well made. Rented for NYE but did not wear - it was a little boxy on my frame so I went another direction, but I'm sure this dress would be stunning on someone curvier

Dancing Til Daylight Dress
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"

Standout dress - both sexy and classy
Great dress, striking back. received a ton of compliments. Ultimately very sexy while remaining classy. Will probably rent it again. Practical notes: - It does run a bit small/tight (spanx were a must for me). - It can ride up a bit if walking much, like most tight dresses do. Pulling it down periodically didn't bother me but something to be aware of. - I used fashion tape to keep the shoulders/back in place and maintain structure. They probably would have stayed up without it, but I do recommend fashion tape for best comfort. - Open back means no bra or backless bra/pasties. I went braless and was completely fine. The fabric is thick enough to not show, and the cut of the dress is flattering even without a bra.

Derek Dress

Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 10

Beautiful, striking dress - size 4 runs large in the shoulders
Size 4 is very large in the shoulders (size 6 did not seem to have the same issue). Much fashion tape and safety pins were necessary to keep the sleeves up. That said - once in place the dress was stunning! Received a ton of compliments from both men and women. Note also that there is no stretch or give in the bodice - very form fitting.

Canary Bennet Dress
Reem Acra
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"

Eye-catching and flattering but very comfortable
Great dress! Worn for bachelorette party (my own) and it was perfect for the occassion. Incredibly comfortable, very easy to dance in. One comment is that the drape in the hips was such that it made me look a bit more hip-y than I am (may be specific to my body) - pinned the folds back a bit and it worked great. This dress would probably be a great fit for a woman a bit curvier than I am.

Fifth Avenue Showstopper Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"

Bust: 34C
Very flattering
This dress is beautiful and very slimming. Did not eventually wear it (it was my backup style) but would rent again. It manages to be sexy (form-fitting in a great way) but not slutty (the sleeves and length balance the dress well). Bust is well-sized for a B or C cup.

Sugar Plum Bandage Dress

Runs small
Obviously this garment is meant to be tight, but I found that it ran a bit small. Did the job it was meant to and looked great... but was a bit uncomfortable to sit in

Nude Simplicity Girl Short
Spanx
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 165lbs
Bust: 34C
Several women told me I was the best-dressed at the wedding - which may or may not have been true, but was certainly nice to hear! This dress certainly demands notice. The backup size was crucial - I ultimately wore my backup size (S). The optional second choice dress was also much appreciated - having more options gave great peace of mind.
Runs very large in the bust. I would have been more comfortable in a Medium skirt, but the bust would have been enormous, so I squeezed into a Small. Probably better for larger-chested women... Regardless, I got a lot of compliments! The dress was a big hit.
