Great rental for a wedding!
I was very pleased with this rental. Fit was great, though the straps were just a tad more loose than I would have liked. It’s fairly short, but I was able to dance all night and sit without any issue. Didn’t need a bra, but I imagine that would not be the case for many. This simple dress worked really well as a guest at a November wedding where I wanted a fall-appropriate color but in warmer weather. I’d rent again!

Great option for a work-related formal affair!
This dress worked out well for a work-related gala with a formal dress code, at which I wanted to stay pretty “covered up” to be with coworkers but still look fashionable and a bit fierce. I am 5’ 5” and wore the 2P with 3” heels and the length was just right. Need seamless undergarments (bottom) which is easy enough, and my only downside to the dress is needing a strapless bra. A regular strapped bra didn’t work for me (strap showed on the shoulders since the dress is cut is a bit narrow from armhole to neck). Not a big deal - would rent this again for a more conservative, formal look!

Iggy Gown
Black Halo
Size Worn: 2R
Usual Size: 2

Perfect for a black tie wedding!
Loved this dress. Fits true to size, maybe a bit small if anything. Thick material and the item was in perfect condition. The dress makes such a statement that everything else in your look can be kept simple. Didn't need a bra, and the dress was comfortable all night for a black tie wedding in fall. Rent it - was told I "looked like a million bucks" by a few strangers... not bad for a $30 rental :]

Worked for other renters, not for me!
This dress is good quality (I am a big fan of Elliatt). I ended up not wearing it, as it was WAY too short on me for the wedding I was attending. I'm 5'5', ~130-lb, athletic build - I rented the M based on reviews and S as backup. It does run a bit small (I'm normally a 2 or 4 in dresses), and the M would have been the right choice of sizing for overall fit. However, both sizes were just too short to be appropriate for the church-portion of the wedding and the family reception following.

Mahogany Dress
ELLIATT
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 32B
Sophisticated and sexy!
The material on this dress is excellent - thick enough to avoid wearing a bra for the smaller-chested (like me) and with enough stretch to move with you. The red is BRIGHT and eye-catching. I wore this to a semi-formal wedding in winter (Texas), and I was comfortable all night and felt confident. I'm 5'5", ~130 lbs, athletic build, and on me the dress hit about 2" lower than I was expecting (right at mid-knee, rather than a bit above the knee) which didn't look perfect... not a problem, just a note! I'd buy this dress.
