Colorful fun, but runs large
I felt the cut just wasn't right. It seems to run large and the shoulders made me look more broad then I am. As I'm pretty tall, it also fell shorter than I like. Kind of a boxy fit.

Not for the tall ladies
This cute romper dress would have been perfect for an evening at Disney, dressy, but with full coverage underneath for the rides. Sadly, the torso was too short so I couldn't wear it.

Lovely dress for a different look
I say it runs small only because the 14 wasn't too large on me. They didn't have my regular size in stock and sometimes I need to go up depending on the designer. As a B cup, I could get this to work for me.

Shape wear needed
I don't have that big a waist, but I felt shapewear was needed as it made me look like I had a large tummy. For those looking for something that has good coverage but is dressy, this is a great choice.

Elegant dress
I decided to go less formal with a cocktail dress, but this was my second choice. Very elegant and for me it worked with a strapless bra. I thought the chest area had too much fabric and gapped a bit in the lace, but as a b cup I have come to expect that a bit. I'd rent again when I have a formal event.

Comfortable fun for a winter charity event
True to size, comfortable and easy to wear with a strapless bra. Gapped a little at the armpits for a B cup, but not too noticeable, better than most dresses. Good length even at 5'11. Perfect for winter. I wore it right before Valentine's Day. Great sleeve length if you are tall.

Fun & professional dress
I loved this dress and nearly kept it, but it always showed as if it were still processing in my account. The dress was a perfect fit for me and a professional length, as I am tall. I rented it for a conference, but wore it several other times. The material is a tad forgiving and doesn't wrinkle. I had no issues with the ties like others commented.

Great carryall for multiple events
I found a matching car for my bag! I originally chose it for a conference to wear with a light pink shift dress. That worked great, but it is a bit "slouchy" and tricky to close with the strap so I left it partly open. I wore it to the Concourse d'elegance, to carry a few water bottles and such, and it came in handy for shlepping the hefty car catalog. Great bag, I'd rent again. Four stars as it gapped open a bit.

Comfortable summer top!
I wore this for a US citizenship celebration. It was very comfortable and didn't wrinkle. I'm pretty tall, so the waistline was a little higher than I like, but with the flare at the bottom it didn't matter. I got lots of compliments, wish I had a picture.

Cute summer dress
The dress is not quite so dark in person. I had no concerns with the lace trim, the holes in front are relatively small. A little tricky around the trim with the zipper. I'm 5'11" and the dress wasn't too short.

Great dress for cool spring weather
I took this dress for dinner at the Grand Hotel I'm Mackinac. In the spring, it can still be cool. This dress worked perfect. Fun, but fairly conservative. Hard to find spring dresses with sleeves so you don't need a cover up

Fun but elegant
Loved this top so much I wore it a second time. I am quite tall, so I wished it were a little longer, but it worked great with black skinny pants. My only comment would be to avoid wearing it to a windy event. It blew all over going to and from the restaurant. Not to fear, the lining itself stayed put! I would rent this again!

Fun and comfortable for the more well endowed
I loved the dress, it was so comfortable and very flattering, with one exception. It was not meant for a 36B. Maybe not even a C. The bustline was cut for a larger size and did not lay properly. I would recommend the dress to those it might fit better. Very appropriate for spring! Sorry I couldn't make it work. The length was fine for my height (5'll). It fell well above the knee, but not too crazy short.

Difficult to wrap
I had a difficult time wrapping the dress to cover my cleavage. It was very low cut. I returned the dress (tags still on) without wearing it. It was a very beautiful flowing fabric. I was sorry I couldn't make it work.

Perfect with adjustable strap
Loved this purse, I rented for a conference when I needed something for the evening. As the strap converts, it worked perfectly. It held everything I needed, not a slim as some others but a bit larger to accommodate extra things. I would rent again!

Simple but elegant
I rented this dress for a conference to go day to night. It worked well, but this particular one I think had been worn by someone that needed a larger size, as the stomach was stretched out and the slit remained open. I didn't have time to exchange to see if it was just the particular dress I received. Overall, the style and fabric is good if you need something a bit conservative, yet stylish.

Perfect tote for a conference
This was the perfect tote for a conference. It probably isn't big enough for a laptop, but I easily stashed an iPad, phone, notebook, business cards, and a sweater. It was easy to sling over an arm and still grab drinks and snacks. Looks very professional I would definitely rent again! Just note the size is smaller than a regular tote bag.

Flattering dress for charity event
Like others mentioned, you may not be able to lift your arms up high very easily, but it was a very flattering dress, thick enough material to hide some flaws.

Body hugging with flair
This dress was chosen as a back up for a cocktail attire fundraiser. As I am tall, it was elegant highlighting the legs with the ruffles and slit. I did however, feel as though I was getting ready to scuba dive. The body hugging (but still forgivable) dress felt like I was putting on a wetsuit. Stretchy, but compressing and thick. I would still order the dress again.
