Huge statement necklace
I loved this necklace, but my boyfriend said it looked like mac n cheese. Eye of the beholder!

Marigold Resin Flower Necklace
Oscar de la Renta
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 9"
Bust: 36C
Runs very small in the chest and fits strangely in the hips.
This dress looks so beautiful in the picture, but was lackluster in person. The fit was not right for me and was much too tight in the bust and had a weird bubble in the hips. I did not end up wearing it.

Pastel Floral Fantasy Dress

Great fit, but unlined
This is a beautiful dress and fit spectacularly, but I was disappointed that the fabric was cotton (I thought it would be silk) and that it was unlined and very wrinkly. I did not end up wearing this to the wedding because it arrived late.

Hole in One Dress

Short chain, sits too high on the neck
This necklace was a little underwhelming for me. The chain was very short, so it didn't lay right on my chest. And the gems are plastic and looked a little cheap. I ended up wearing some of my own jewelry.

Beautiful dress but tight in the bust.
I loved the fit of this dress, but it was a little snug in the chest. I still would have worn it, but I had a faulty zipper so went with my back-up dress.

Grape Soda Pop Dress

Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 9"
Bust: 36C
Very cute and classic, but lower cut than appears.
The dress was super comfortable and an easy fit with the a-line skirt. I wore this to my company holiday party and found the neckline to be a little more revealing than I thought it would be. Still a great classic dress.

Citrus Candy Pop Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 9"
Bust: 36C
Runs big
I love leopard, so I was disappointed when this dress just didn't fit great. The boat neck is a little bulky and the material is very heavy. I almost always wear a 12 and rarely fit in a 10, but a 10 would have been a better bet. The dress was lose all over, even through my hips (which never happens). I would definitely recommend sizing down and not renting this dress for an event if it is going to be very hot out.

Purfect Leopard Dress

I was comfortable all night and received tons of compliments at a charity gala.
I rented this dress for a charity gala and absolutely loved it. It was an easy fit and very comfortable. It is a very classic look and I got a ton of compliments. My only complaint is that the lace itched my arms a little.

Blush Wedding Lace Dress

Usual Size: 12

Tight in the chest
I rented this dress for NYE and absolutely love the dress. I have tried on a 10 at the department store and it was too tight across the back/bust, so I order the twelve. While it fit perfectly elsewhere, the dress crushed and flattened my chest. Also, I would agree with one of the previously reviewers, that if you are bustier the slit will be noticeable. It created some seriously cleavage, which I was fine with but others may not be.

LOVE this dress
I wore this dress to a friend's rehearsal dinner and loved it. The fit was amazingly comfortable and runs true to size. I think the dress would be flattering on most body types and would recommend renting it. I even bought the same dress in gold with green stone embellishments.

Its My Birthday Dress

Great fit! Classic and classy
I rented this dress for my company holiday party and loved it. I have an hourglass figure, but am definitely larger on the bottom than on the top. I fit perfectly on top and I have no problems with the straps that other people have mentioned (although a am 5'9"). The skirt had lots of room and would look good on most sizes. Loved the dress and would definitely recommend it.
