Waist too small, didn't wear; unflattering
I didn't wear this one. I have an athletic build and not much of a waist, and I couldn't zip the dress closed. It did not flatter my body, my frame was too petite to carry the volume of fabric and my body shape did not match the cut of the dress.

Most complimented dress I've ever worn
This dress was a delight to wear: very comfortable and high quality. I've also never received so many compliments on a dress, and I've done a lot of great rentals over the years. It's especially lovely in motion, the photos don't do justice to the movement of the sheer overlay. The dress was a tad long – I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels, and the length was maybe a 0.5" too long for my liking. Heads up for the more petite renters,

Loved and felt great
This was a perfect dress for my dinner event. The fabric is soft and high-quality and the print is interesting and eye-catching. The fit is close and unforgiving. It worked on my athletic build but was almost too tight in the hips. If you need more room in the hips, this probably isn't the right dress for you.

Fabulous, comfortable dress
Loved wearing this dress. It's got a beautiful drape, nice thick material, pockets!, and distinctive bow detail and open back. I dressed it down a bit since it wasn't a black-tie event with organic-textured statement earrings and wedges, but you could dress it up easily with different styling. I have narrow shoulders so the XS was the right size for me. The length was perfect with 4" platform wedges.

Too large in chest
The dress was vey pretty, a beautiful rich blue with gorgeous detailing. BUT it was too big on my small chest and it didn’t work for me.

Not flattering
I wanted to like this dress but really didn’t. There was a weird bulge at the hips from the pleating meeting the seam. The cut did nothing for my athletic frame. I didn’t wear.

Best dress I’ve worn
This dress is a show-stopper. It’s a tough color to wear so make sure marigold yellow works for you. The neckline and statement sleeve are beautiful. You can wear a normal strapless bra with it. It’s fitted through the bodice but comfortable. I have never received so many compliments on a dress!

Vampy glamour
This was a fun outfit for a date. I have an athletic build (especially hips) and so had to wiggle into the 2, but am glad I wore the smaller size – the fit was more flattering. I styled it with black tights, black booties, and red lips. The shorts are very short and I couldn't imagine not wearing tights, as it would have shown a lot of leg and occasional backside.

Flattering and colorful
I loved this dress. The fit was comfortable and the dress stayed in place. I could wear a regular strapless bra. The style is flattering, and the color is bold and worked well with my complexion. I normally wear a 2 but found that the 0 fit better (the 2 had some areas that were a little baggy while the 0 fit uniformly).

Elegant, delicate, and comfortable
I loved wearing this dress. It's simple yet elegant, with tasteful details. The fit was comfortable and the fabric was lightweight, perfect for a summer wedding. I paired it with dangly RTR earrings, neutral pumps, and a dark red lip.

Gorgeous and easy to wear
This dress was perfect for a black-tie formal event. It was a flattering cut and sexy without being revealing. It was also very comfortable to wear. I am just shy of 5'5" and wore 3" black booties, and the length worked great - no dragging but still long enough to cover most of the shoe. One downside is that while the dress had clearly been dry-cleaned, it has long sleeves and there was some residual armpit odor in the fabric. You could only smell it if you stuck your nose right into the fabric, but it was not ideal. I got over it after my boyfriend insisted he couldn't smell anything, but I knew it was there.

Glamorous and unusual
Got tons of compliments on this dress. It's architectural, glamorous, and unusual. It is, however, hard to wear. The sequins irritated my underarms and I couldn't wear a bra with it because the neckline was too low. Nonetheless, I'm glad I wore it because of how fabulous it is.

Vibrant color and elegant details
The dress is much more vibrant than the color in the photos. It looks like a Princess Jasmine dress. I liked that you can configure the top a couple of different ways, and I found that using the thin straps worked best for me. The fit was okay at the top, but the dress was too long for me to dance in comfortably. I am average height for my size and wore 3.5" heels, so was surprised the dress was dragging, hence the three-star rating.

Eye-catching earrings
The earrings were a statement without being gaudy. I wore a simple dress and not much other jewelry to let the earrings shine. I got many compliments on them. I recommend these--they were easy to wear and looked great.

Beautiful but impractical neckline
Fit was true to size. The color and detailing of the dress were great, but the lace of the neckline easily snagged on anything it came across, which was impractical. I got a lot of compliments on how unique the look was, and I am happy I rented it!

Classy dress with flattering fit
The fit was great on this dress. It's very flattering with a structured bodice and fun, flared skirt. The gold splashes are a nice touch and spice up the classic style. This was a perfect dress my company's winter gala.

Little black dress with an off-the-shoulder, geometric twist
Fit was flattering and true-to-size. It was a bit longer than I had hoped, but the length made the look more sophisticated.
