Did not wear it
Fit was small, did not wear it. But it is a nice, flattering style and a good weight fabric.

Fabric is great, fit is flattering, and it's warm enough to wear in winter. Wore it with knee-high tobacco colored boots. GREAT dress!

No event, just wore these every day!
Great fit, super duper comfortable. I bought these jeans for myself after trying them with my RTR subscription. Loved them!

Runs EXTREMELY SMALL. It's cute and a very nice fabric but it has ZERO give. Size up for sure. Also the gathering at the waist is a little poofy just below the gather, so if you have a lower pooch, this will make you look 4 months pregnant.

Date night downtown
I rented this in the red color last month in a size Large, and it was WAY too big. The medium was slightly too small but it worked ok because it's got a little give. It runs VERYYYYYY short so be careful. I'm short waisted and I'm only 5ft, and I was tugging at the shorts all night. I'd probably rent again in a Large and make it work like I did with the red one.

Sunset Dinner near the lake
I'm short so this was an awkward length on me. I have a relatively large bust for my frame, and while the waist fit ok, the bust was huge even on me. It was just ok. Needs to have more adjustment to the straps.

Cute dress! Runs slightly big. As others have said, you can't wear this with a bra at all so I recommend a backless or a sticky bra. I'm petite so I had to safety pin the halter neck to make it fit me length-wise and for it not to sag below my sticky bra.

I did not wear this.
This dress is VERY short-waisted as far as the cut goes. I have a short waist and I felt this made me look even stumpier/shorter because of how it is cut. Maybe a tall/longwaisted gal could wear this to shorten her torso appearance. It also flattens the chest a lot, which wasn't good for me because I prefer more room for my larger chest and a more snug waist to accentuate the difference in my chest and waist. The picture online is deceiving - the fabric is very odd and I feel it cheapens it. Would not rent again.

Runs true to size, so I should have gotten a M instead of a L. The waist is flattering and there's ample room for a larger chest. I'm petite with a large chest for my frame, and I'm also short waisted so normally I wear small/medium...definitely would need the medium in this because it doesn't stretch and the waist is cinched. This would be a great dress for someone medium/tall in height, small waist, large chest.

I did not end up wearing this dress to my event.
I rented this along with another dress because i had several wedding-related events to go to one weekend. I did not end up wearing this dress, however. It is lovely and the fabric is pretty, but both my usual size as well as the size down that I rented were HUGE. Even my size down was practically falling off. It is SUPER SUPER long, so you'd better be at least 5'8" to wear this. Though I normally look really good in this type of cut, for whatever reason, the double layer of fabric that the dress is made with looked poochy around my tummy trouble spots, so I nixed it. Might be a good option for someone who is pregnant and showing without having to go to a true maternity style.

This dress is a show stopper! I almost upstaged the bride!
Runs somewhat big in the bust, but fairly true to size everywhere else. Perfect if you are petite with a fuller bust. Usually in formal dresses I need an 8 just for bust and for hips, but in retrospect, I could have worn a 6. Definitely order your true size and a size down if you are petite framed. I'm only 5 feet tall, so the regular was very long on me in the back, but I wore it with really high heels and it pretty much just looked like I had a slight train on my dress, which I thought made it look super fancy and dramatic! :) Everyone complimented. It's a lovely color, but I would style it with bright white or nude accessories as opposed to the black bag shown on the model in the picture.

I wore this for a fashion industry cocktail party.
Really comfortable fabric and fit. Fun to wear and easy to dance and move in! I felt like the overall style is slightly less formal and slightly more casual than a typical "cocktail dress" so I wouldn't have worn this to an affair that anyone would have worn a sequined dress to, but it worked for this particular party. Perfect for clubbing at an upscale bar or for a date night.

Austin Fashion Week Kickoff event
This dress is perfection. It runs on the short side, which is perfect for me since I'm short. The fabric is soft and comfortable, and this hugged in all the right places and was forgiving in the right places. I got lots of compliments. The pattern is unique and still totally wearable!

SUCH a cute dress. Ran a little on the large size, but it's SUPER comfortable!! The fabric looks stiff, but it's very flexible and soft.

I wore this dress to the Austin Fashion Awards.
Ran a *little* small, mostly in the bust and hips, but overall I wasn't surprised to need the 12 anyway, because it doesn't have any stretch to it. The sequins are a bit scratchy. You'll definitely need really good smoothing undergarments if you have any kind of pooch anywhere, because the glisten of the sequins accentuates anything that sticks out! It was a cute dress and I enjoyed it, but I was ready to take it off by the end of the night.

Timely arrival of dresses, fit specialists and customer service reps are ALWAYS friendly and available for questions, and the free extra size is a HUGE bonus!
LOVED this dress! It fit wonderfully and concealed any post-baby lumps I might have around my midsection! ;) I paired it with a gold leather belt and gold and black chandelier earrings. Dress was comfortable and I felt like it was very flattering.
