Fantastic!
On Michigan Avenue, Chicago, a woman stopped her car and asked where I got this dress! Numerous, compliments both times I wore it. One time I wore creamy beige strappy heels. The second I wore rhinestone slip-on flats. Two times were a hit!

Super fun and flattering
I wore this to an outdoor jazz festival. It was airy and comfortable. My boyfriend really liked it. Great colors for "autumn & spring" ladies. I wore a flesh colored bralet and mustard tie at the ankle kitten heels.

Cute and colorful
I liked how the top stayed closed without needing pinned. There was ample room in the bust. The back, was kind of baggy didn't flatter my booty. The legs were loose and comfy

Loved this dress
I wore this to an outdoor jazz festival and it was SUPER cute. I wore 2" high tennis shoes. I'm short so I needed the height. Underneath, shapewear was necessary for me. The material is stretchy and forgiving. I also wore a flesh colored bralet to close it up a bit.

Cute, colorful, and SHORT in front
I enjoyed the bright color, hey, the detail around the flowers is a bright lavender! I wore it with a black under top and black boy shorts. It's SUPER short where it crosses over in the front. Even with a pin, there's no hope of keeping it down. The back is plenty long enough. I wore it to an art gallery and lunch with comfy tennis shoes.

Looks sharp
This dress is very nice, looks dressy enough for dinner but could be dressed down for daytime. Perfect for a lunch date. I wore sparkly gold shoes, a mock diamond necklace, and large "diamond" hoops. I'm large busted so the top fasteners don't lay right. We were vacation and forgot the under top I was going to wear. Last minute, I had a flesh colored bralet I threw on under. Otherwise, I couldn't have worn it.

Great dress, tags were still on
This is a pretty dress. Nice quality and color. As happens for me sometimes, the skirt fit but the chest was too small. I returned it and ordered the 12. We have an "informal" class reunion coming up. I'm going to wear this with silver heels... that's casual, yeah?

I had a few days to spare on Unlimited so I rented to try on different sizes
My chest is 40" and waist 33". I couldn't get the size 8 zipped and even if I could it would have been way too small I will rent the 10 for the reception. The colors are beautiful

Loved this!!! I wore it twice once to the Cleveland Orchestra and then to a club for live music
I wore this piece twice. I paired it with a silver tube top, large silver "diamond" necklace, and clear/silver trimmed stilettos... hot, hot, hot. My boyfriend Loved it. My hips are 39in and the "pants" were tight with lots of stretch, so cute. The top was ample. Quite thick material I have broader shoulders and large chest. For me it was nice and comfortable. Narrow shoulder gals might have too much room. This would have been fun with just white trainers and a white tank too

I had wanted to wear this this dress "forever". It was really pretty and fit nicely to start. The dress stretches with time and it looked good, just not the same. It was a little too long on me, maybe 5'7" and taller would like the fit a bit more.

Pretty and extra flattering
I lost weight just as I ordered this for vacation. It was too big for me but I lent it to my 74yo mom and it looked great on her. She is a size 12 and wore a spanx to suck in ;) I was so thrilled how pretty it looked on her. I tried it on and it was just a touch big in the hips. The chest was fine for me.

I wore this to the Cleveland Symphony for a matinee on a fall day. It was perfect. It's quite low so I added a beige camisole and beige peep toe wedge pumps. It was loose fitting. I probably should have ordered a Med but I wasn't certain. My measurements are 42, 33, 39

Cute blouse, fun and flattering
I brought this blouse on vacation to Spain. It didn't wrinkle. It wasn't too low cut. It was flowy and cool enough. I wore it a number of times with black pants and linen shorts. It's high/low so, I put a longer black cami underneath to smooth out the bit of my chubby belly that "showed" ;)

This dress is SO, SO, SO beautiful!
On me this dress was too small in the bust. For most ladies it would be fine. Smaller chested gals might want to opt for a stick on bra to create cleavage. (getting zippers to zip on any of the RTR's I've had is a CHALLENGE)

I Loved this dress and got so many compliments! I rented this for a NYE wedding. This was the backup dress and it was perfect. My boyfriend flipped about the color and fit. I didn't wear a bra but if I had, I would have chosen a stick on one.

This was just for fun!
I had some credit and this ended up being almost free. Fun, super cute. I had gained weight since I rented it and it was a tight fit for me. I'm large busted so I bought and wore pleather tube top. I then belted it, as it was short waisted on me. It turned out cute. I wore it out in a snow storm (pardon my hair) with seamed black stockings and black booties. It was cute and sparkly

I do Love this dress. Just the right amount of stretch. Night two, I had intended to wear one of my dresses to a banquet. I threw a pleather tube top underneath. Flesh color seamed stockings and gold pumps... changed the entire look. Perfect Sucked me in although I did wear Spanx as well but I'm extra chubby for me right now.

Great red, hugs the curves... lots of "appreciation" from guys and gals
This dress was comfortable and sexy. I felt wonderful in it. My boyfriend offered to buy it for me. I did wear a Spanx but no bra. Being extra busty, the extra strong stretch held "the girls" just fine with no straps to show. I chose transparent pumps with silver accents and drop red, silver edged, murano glass, earrings. I also wore a vintage restored mink wrap and felt beautiful all evening

Lots of compliments, men yelling out car windows even with my BF there.
The dress has a bit of an "A-line" skirt. It was a little big on me in that area but I am large chested and when I first put it on it had "pull lines" across the chest. It needed to be ironed, there is just no way around that. A lot of times I can just run the blow dryer over dresses and the wrinkles fall out. Super cute, flattering

It was a very flattering design for me. I have a full figure so the ruching was nice around the tummy. Lots of clevage I considered wearing a cami but what the heck! I forgot to get pics of me in the dress.

I should have had a size 12 in this dress. It wasn't available so I went with a 10. A Spanx was needed. LOL I barely was able to fit the girls in it and had to make sure they weren't popping out. Great dress, fun colors, very flattering

Very Comfortable, I really enjoyed it.
This was a great dress for walking around Italy. It was comfortable and packed well. A little wrinkled when I took it out, just blow dried it and the wrinkles fell out. It is low, added a beige camisole with it. I still felt it was too low for getting on and off trains and activities so I added the mismatched scarf (It was all I had ;) ) I wore a spanx 'cause I'm extra chubby right now. I was hoping the stripes would be a little more flattering but lol they can only do so much.
