I rented for a rainbow themed party, and while they looked great, they were very very heavy.

This dress is very easy to wear (no Spanx needed!), and the wrap style makes sizing forgiving. However, it's very low cut. The smaller size exacerbated the lowness of the cut so even though it fit everywhere else, the larger size fit better since I could overlap the fabric around the chest a bit more. I also used double sided tape to hold the V of the neck a little higher than it naturally fell. If you don't mind the look of wearing a tank top underneath that would also solve it, but this distracted from the look in my opinion. Overall a fun dress.

Wearing a dress this orange for some reason invites people to come up and talk to you about how orange it is, so just make sure you don't mind the attention. The arms are on the smaller side so I'd size up for your backup. I found the dress wearable but slightly ill fitting in the way a few reviews have described and you can see in many photos (the orange is so distracting you may not have noticed) - the fabric bunches along the V-neck between the chest and the shoulders, so you might have to pull the dress down a lot in order to smooth that out. All in all, a very unique and fun dress.

I did not wear this. I rented the 10 (regular size is 8 or 10) but would have wanted to try a 12 - definitely size up for your backup. The dress is very pretty, but it's so body conscious. The skirt comes inward towards your knees if you have pronounced hips or butt, which is not as flattering on me as a typical pencil skirt that just hangs straight down or only slightly inwards.

This is a nice LBD more on the conservative side. The back gives it a bit of an edge but the cutout, at least on me, wasn't as pronounced as it was on the model (where the dress drapes better - I think if a wider body stretches it out, the cutout becomes narrower). The biggest downside of this dress is the likelihood of snags. I got two replacements as the first two had a tear at the back cutout part. The fabric is supposed to be sewn a couple inches in from each side, so the cutout isn't as wide as the entire dress, but in the first two dresses the stitching had been torn straight to the edge. All said, I'm glad I rented it, but would not rent it again due to the high maintenance nature of the lace.

I didn't end up wearing the dress because it was too small (and it didn't come in a size larger than 8), but I was very impressed with the quality, and it was surprisingly flattering for my hourglass shape. It looked much better in person than I expected. It is very short though - and at 5'3" I don't often have dresses come to my mid-thigh.
