Great!
Fit my credit cards, phone, and a few makeup items for touch ups very easily

Super flattering cut
This was sent as a backup dress after my first choice was unavailable, and when I saw it on the hanger I was incredibly worried about the combination of baby pink, sparkles, and flowers. One I put it on, though, it looked incredible and it was very flattering. I really loved wearing it. Joe clearly loved it too, just look at that smile.

Too tight in the butt/hips
I thought this dress would be more of an A-line that was tight at the waist, but not hugging my butt or my hips. This is actually more of a mermaid fit and was super tight all the way down until the ruffled bit where it flares, and it made me look really odd. Didn't wear it. Don't rent it if you're pear shaped.

Huge and shapeless
This was sent to me as a backup to a backup dress that I had rented for a wedding. It was easily two sizes too big. I normally wear a size 12 and the size 10 was massive. Size down at least two sizes. On the upside, if you were pregnant, this would be a terrific option

Flattering and fun, with a bad zipper
Very flattering, comfortable, and fun. The zipper seems pretty flimsy, though, and it had trouble making over the seem between the shorts and the top (and not due to sizing -- there was plenty of room). I was actually worried about breaking the zipper and it made using the restroom stressful! If not for the zipper situation, it would be 5 stars.

Great, flattering dress
I rented this for an outdoor wedding, and was very pleased with the dress. I'm pear shaped, and it was incredibly flattering. I'm normally about a 10 on top, 12 on the bottom and the 10 fit well (and was closer to being too big than too small). The lace bits around the neckline were getting a little crumpled from being worn many times, but it really didn't bother me

flattering and cute!
This dress was really cute and flattering. I'm very pear shaped, and this dress still fit me well and looked great on. No complaints!

Cute maybe, on someone else
This wasn't very flattering on me--it made me look like I had a very thick torso. It fit well, but it wasn't as flattering as most fit/flare dreses are on me. Also, the top was too big on me, and I coudln't fill out the chest area, making the dress puff out a bit in back. But I'm also VERY pear shaped (I'm almost 2 sizes smaller on top than I am on bottom), and I very often have problems with dresses that are too large on top, but that fit on the bottom (or vice versa), so most other people probably wouldn't have the same problem if they rented the dress. It was ok, but not great, so I ended up returning the dress and wearing something in my closet that's more flattering.
