Back up dress...
This was a back up dress. Pretty, but not for me. Sadly, the first choice dress was a fail, too. This dress is navy with black lace. Not 100% black. The dress fit everywhere except for the chest. I am busty and this squashed the girls into one big mass. Nice material, great length. Size up if you are well endowed!

Very special dress!
I rented this dress for a Kentucky Derby garden party. This dress was perfect and I got so many compliments. The fabric is beautiful and elegant. The cut of this dress and the interesting hemline are very unique and you will stand out in this dress. I was a teeny bit concerned that the 4 would be too small and might have felt better in the 6, but the 6 was not available and I took a gamble that it would work. I'm very happy that I tried, because it fit really well. My photos do not do this dress justice.

Didn't wear it!
This is a pretty dress, but not what I expected. The color is more of a melon orange than appears in the photos. It is a very nice fabric, but not as luxe as I had hoped. I ordered this as a backup dress and could not have worn it because it runs so small. I was lucky my first choice dress fit. The sleeves were very tight and if you are busty like me, this dress won't work for you.

Cute sweater. The sleeves are long, but easily pushed up. I was expecting it to be more red. It is very brick rust color. Great fit. Fun sweater.

I would rent this again!
Beautiful dress! I wish I had ordered the size 8 as a backup. The 6 fit, but was just too form fitting for this affair. It was my backup dress and I would have worn it instead of my first choice. Sexy. You can wear a racer back bra.

Special dress...
This is a beautiful dress and fits well in all the right places. It is low cut and very heavy. Thick, so it seems to add pounds, unfortunately. I was also unhappy with the way the slit in back hung. The lining seemed to pull it under and I would have liked it to hang, elegantly. This is a gorgeous dress and is well made. I could have worn the 6, but my husband was out of town and I could barely get the 8 to zip up on my own. It seems to hang up on the sequins. If you have someone to zip it up for you, rent your true size. I got lots of compliments, but I would not rent again.

Stunning sparkler!
This is a beautiful, sexy, form fitting gown that will make you feel like Jessica Rabbit goes mermaid! I am a petite size 6 and wore the 6R to a NYE wedding. The 8R was my backup given the feedback to size-up, but there was very little difference. The dress has some give and was generally comfortable. I will say that the dress was long for me. I'm barefoot and standing on a fireplace in this photo, and you can see the fabric gathered at my feet! If you are under 5'2", you will need to be in your highest heels! I do not believe a petite version is available. I got several compliments throughout the evening and my husband loved it! It was also great to be in something other than black, as this dress stands out.
