Makes curves look good, but not comfortable
The good: The color is a pretty burnt sienna color, the straps are adjustable, the length was perfect for me at 5'3" and 3" heel. The top half and bust are also flattering because of the razorback. The dress also accentuates your hips and curves in a good way. The not great: The dress doesn't have much stretch and is unforgiving in the stomach area. It was super uncomfortable and hard to dance and walk in. I did size up, maybe 2 sizes up from normal it would have worked better.

Pretty Colors
I really liked the vivid color of the blazer. However it is runs very small. I couldn't button it-which isn't a big deal, but it restricted my arm movements a little. Otherwise it hit at the right length on my hips and was flattering otherwise. The fabric is very warm and thick, I would consider renting it again-just a larger size.

An easy day dress
It was a comfortable dress, easy outfit. However the length hit me at the knee and it came across a little more "dowdy" than anticipated.

A comfortable cute print top
This is a comfortable top that isn't too boxy but loose fitting. The print is cute and it can actually be worn dressed up or down and casual. I also liked that it wasn't super sheer .

Really cute and comfortable
I really like this dress, fits really well. Just wish it was a tad shorter (hits right at my knee). The print is really cute and received alot of compliments throughout the day. I wore it more casually with keds, but can imagine it would be great with wedges for an outdoor event.

Showstopper dress
The dress definitely brought attention. It was pretty flattering, however the bust is designed a little odd. I think it would have been a little better with a larger bust. It also doesn't stretch too much, and the length runs a little long. It would be nice for a colder-weather event.

Flattering and Comfortable!
This dress was very flattering and hugged my curves really nicely. It had plenty of stretch, which if I wanted to I could have even worn a size down. The length wasn't really an issue (5'3", 3.5 heels), but the bust runs slightly big. I filled into the bust, but it would have looked a little more fitted with a larger bust. It would have also helped the keyhole's shape. Other than that I felt fabulous and comfortable all night.

I wish it had some stretch.
Oh, how I wish this dress was slightly bigger (I even read the reviews and sized 1 up from my normal size). It has absolutely no stretch, so size 2 up. It hugged my curves really nicely and would have been a showstopper. I ultimately did not wear it because it was so tight, I couldn't even use the restroom without a second person helping me get in and out of it. I wear a pretty true to size 6, and wish I ordered a 10 it runs that small.

Nice dress
The dress was very flattering. The rouching in the front and back was flattering without looking "puffy". The length hit me at just the right height. I felt sexy, but also felt appropriate for a wedding-with a shawl for the church portion. It was also very comfortable. For those with curvy hips, like me it can be slightly tight in that area. If you do I recommend trying a size up from your true dress size. The size 4, which occasionally fits did not fit at all. The arm straps and neck line were a tad stretched. Unless it was supposed to sit lower on my chest, the neck line and straps would flip outward especially in the back. That is my only complaint and for the 4/5 stars.
