All dresses should be this cut!
I'm currently kicking myself for not taking more pictures, but I was at a military ceremony so bare with me here. I loved this dress so much that I wore it to work first, then headed out to the ceremony in the evening. It's incredibly flattering! I received a TON of compliments. The temperature had just dropped, and I was happy that the dress has just a little bit more weight to it. The skirt stays at a nice flare. I absolutely loved this dress and will rent again.

Gorgeous, Arm Room for the Guns!
I wore this to a fundraising gala and absolutely loved the dress! It fits true to size and is extremely flattering. The color is gorgeous, but I would absolutely rent this in the purple as well. As a boxer with muscular arms, I was worried that the arms might be a bit tight but I had zero issues. LOVE THIS DRESS.

Conservative, Flattering, POCKETS!
I don't know how to say this without it being awkward, so I'm just going to get it out there - I rented this dress for my best friend to wear to a funeral, along with another dress for my myself to wear. She wanted something conservative but not plain, so she loved the little bow on the back and the flair to the sleeves. We tried on each other's dresses just in case... I'm going to admit that I put this dress on backwards because I thought the bow went in the front. (Whatever.) Our bodies are similar so you can check my stats, but she did wear a pair of spanx with this dress because she was bloated and she doesn't mind my honesty there. I'd say it's true to size. As a mom, she LOVED that it had pockets and I have been instructed to keep an eye out for this dress going on sale so I can buy it for her. Overall, her feedback is to rent this!

Lightweight, Comfortable, Beautiful
I don't know how to say this without it being awkward, so I'm just going to get it out there - I rented this for a funeral, along with another dress for my best friend. I wanted something that be conservative, flattering, and slightly floral. This was comfortable enough to wear all day during August, to include walking around downtown with family. I'm a 34D and did not have issues with the cleavage, thanks to the little snap. The fit was true to size and I loved the dress.

"That dress was made for you!!"
I heard that a few times -- makes a girl feel good, right?! I rented this dress for an out-of-town baby shower for my best friend, hosted at a winery. After reading reviews, I have to admit that I was completely lost on what size to order. A lot say bust is too small, order up. Some say order down. I'm an 8/10, and the 10 was not available at all. I took a risk anyway and ordered an 8 and a 12, fully expecting to wear the 12 based on bust comments. I was thrilled to actually wear the 8!!! It fit my bust (34D) just fine without any smashing. I chose to wear a strapless bra, but could wear a regular bra just fine as well, even with the v-cut back. The lining is very thin, so be sure to test the color of your nude undergarments and/or grab a slip. The arm holes were a tiny bit tight which created a small skin overhang, but it was easy to fix any problems before pics were snapped, so it didn't bother me much. The dress is very lightweight and perfect for a late spring or summer event. Pairs well with nude or white shoes.
