Not quite Beyonce vibes...
I so wanted this dress to work for my upcoming Mexico vacation. But when I tried it on, I felt like I was wearing an expensive sack. My husband said I looked like wearing one of those colorful canvases that kids played with during P.E. class. I could see how this looks super cute on someone slimmer, but this was a dud for me.

Loved it-- bought it!
This is a really great blazer that is a bit more exciting than basic black. I loved it so much that I bought it! Perfect for both work and happy hour.

So comfortable!
I really liked this dress. The material was so comfortable and it is easy to dress up or dress down-- a perfect desk to dinner dress. The sizing was a little off though. I typically wear a size 10, pear shaped, so the large regular fit great in my hips but was gigantic up top (36C). The fabric is also pretty unforgiving and shows every kind of pantyline, so Spanx are a must. I'm considering buying this dress, but may try a medium to see if that works better.

Gigantic
The jumpsuit seemed really cute but the straps were enormous, and the rest fit really baggy. I ended up not wearing it since I would have been swimming in it. Not sure if sizing down would help due to how long the straps are. It also seemed a bit see through so definitely wear with only nude underwear.

Fits great, but not my style
My husband took one look at me and said I looked like "Business Casual Harley Quinn", and I couldn't disagree with him. It just was not my style and while the fit was great, quality felt brand new, I looked like a circus tent. I think it may be cuter on someone more petite.

Weird sizing in the straps
Dress fit great on my pear shape everywhere but the straps. There it looked super tight. Ended up returning it without wearing since the most unique part of the dress not fitting made everything else look off.

Already have rented it multiple times!
This dress is a great "desk to dinner" dress. I have worn it both for date night and for work, just with different shoes and accessories. I usually wear a US size 8, and the MR fit perfectly. The dress was surprisingly warm though-- the material does not breathe very well. So I wouldn't plan on wearing it to a summer wedding.

Amazing!
I really wanted to keep this dress. I wore it for a casual party, to work with a casual sweater, and to a bridal luncheon and got compliments ever time. The dress is a great material that can easily be dressed up or down. The only bad thing about this dress is it does run long, but with some tall wedges, I was fine. I will definitely be renting this dress again.

Pear-size ladies stay away!!
I rented this slinky number for an upcoming rehearsal dinner. Reviews mentioned that the top was kind of big if you were small busted, but I figured it wouldn't be that bad. I was so wrong. The top gaped open, there was tons of extra fabric around the stomach, but the hips and sleeves fit fine. I think the dress would probably work well on an hourglass figure, but if your curves are unbalanced-- stay away.

Unique and bright colors!
This dress received loads of compliments when I wore it for a family gathering on Easter. Overall, I thought it was a nice dress, however the top was clearly meant for someone more busty. The snap at the top was pretty useless and I ended up pinning it closed.

Solid, dependable work dress
This was a solid, dependable dress for work, but not really a show stopper. I typically wear an 8, and the Medium fit me just fine, with plenty of room to spare in the tummy area. The material is really nice and makes a great impression, plus the length was just right at mid-knee. I'm not sure I would rent this one again, but I am happy I did rent it.

Dressy without being too fancy
This outfit works great for an evening out with friends, a date, or other nighttime affair. I was concerned about renting the jumpsuit since I am a pear shape (and worried the top would be too loose), but it was a great fit. Note that the picture makes the legs look more straight-leg, when really the legs are pretty wide. The only thing I didn't really like was the material at the waist. It looked shiny in the picture, like a satin, but it actually is this nude colored ribbon material. Note also that the legs are very long! The legs were still too long for me in 4.5-5" heels. All in all, would definitely rent again.

A simple casual dress for work or daytime
I work in a professional field, and this fit in well. Great for pear shapes since it hides the hips and any poochy tummies! The only issues I had was with the neckline (way too low for work!), so I wore a camisole. The fabric was also thinner than I expected, so I also wore a slip-- which is highly recommended on a windy day with this dress! I don't know what it would be like on someone taller, but on me, it was more tea length, and I rather shorter.
