Black tie optional perfection!
I am 5'9" 153lbs 32DDD size 8 (36-31-38). I ordered the 10 long and it was perfect! I was able to wear a strapless bra. With 3" heels the length was perfect-Just skimming the floor. This dress has been worn a lot and getting a bit thread bare in some places but it's my favorite rental so far. Super sleek and elegant. Beware do NOT rent if you have any belly issues. This is tight in the mid section with zero forgiveness. Hourglass girls will love this dress! I wore to a summer black tie optional wedding and it was lightweight, easy to dance in and photographs amazing.

Very pretty and comfortable
I rented this and another dress for a black tie optional wedding. I wore the backup dress instead but it was a tough choice. This dress so gorgeous and so comfortable. I'm 5'9" 153lbs 32DDD and a size 8. The Large Long fit perfect. The medium fit too but the large was a bit longer. You can wear a strapless or regular black bra with this dress. I chose my backup sequined dress over this one because it's a "cotton black" and seemed a bit less formal. My husband wore a tux and I needed a bit more formal of a gown. Beautiful dress, very forgiving and lightweight.

Get this dress!!!
I rented this for a Mother's Day picnic. It was beautiful! Loads of compliments. Casual but dressy enough for a night out. I am 5'9" 154lbs 34 DD and the 8 fit like a glove. Tall hourglass girls will look best in this dress. I cannot wait to rent this again this summer!

Dressier than it looks
This jacket has a very silk like texture and appearance. Fits true to size and has an open front, no closure. I wear a size 8/10, 155lbs, 5'9" and 34dd, medium fit perfect. The color was salmon with a light pink lining. I wore it with the Corey floral jumpsuit and it matched perfectly. This has a work attire feel more than every day wear. Nice but not something I would rent again.

Cute for Easter/spring event
This ran very large! Definitely size down. I am 5'9" 155lbs and a size 8. The 8 was huge on me and the top kept falling down showing my strapless bra, I'm a 34dd. Easy to zip up by yourself. My husband didn't like it and referred to it as a potato sack due to the tweed material. Has a lining so would be too hot for summer events.

Cute for a casual dress
I'm 5'9" 155lbs and the medium fit with room to spare. Arms were long enough which was a surprise. I dressed down with black leggings and ankle booties. I'm broad shouldered so the elastic on top was flipping a bit. You have to wear a strapless bra. Not see through. Nice casual dress.

Pink caped crusader
Fit a bit big in the waist for me. I could have worn the 8 or 10 but the larger size had a longer length. I wore to a wedding shower. I wore a regular bra. I'm a size 8/10 34dd 155lbs 5'9" Taller gals size up for length. Lots of room for busty gals.

Adorable moto jacket
I'm a 34dd size 8/10 and the 10 fit perfect. Lace detail is beautiful. I wore this twice and got loads of compliments. Cute with jeans or dress pants. Sleeves were a bit short since I'm 5'9", however jacket is cropped so it looked appropriate.

Perfect casual LBD
Fit was perfect. Stretchy and forgiving. Beware there are stripes that run vertical all over this dress that are see through when stretched. I wore a black bra and opaque black tights to keep it modest. Looked super cute with booties and big earrings. Would totally rent again!

Nice dress, beautiful color
Arms were tight but not uncomfortable or unflattering. Very body con. Wear spanx. I'm a solid 10, 34ddd and the 44 fit perfect. Was able to wear a strapless bra.

Cute but see through
Beautiful dress but I was shocked at the sheer slip. I wore black opaque tights so I could keep it modest. A normal bra worked fine. I'm a solid 10, 34ddd and had plenty of room in the large. Could have easily wore a medium.

Not for tall or busty girls
Pros: This jumpsuit is gorgeous and very well made. The lining is thick and perfect for a cold winter party. Perfect for anyone under 5'6" and pear shaped. Cons: Way too small for tall girls. I'm 5'9" and this rode up my rear end and was so uncomfortable I took it off immediately. I have a 34ddd bust and would never have zipped up this suit. My stats: 5'9", 165lbs, (38-31-39) ,size 10, 34ddd

You won't be a wall flower in this dress
Fit was a bit large. I'm 5'9" and 165 lbs 34ddd and a size 10. The large fit but was baggy in the waist. Medium looked better however was a tad short in the arms and body. I wore the medium to keep it form fitting. I paired it with black leggings and heels and it looked more like a tunic. Still very cute and loads of compliments. Photographed well and was comfortable. I never had any issues with the sequins. Definitely rent this dress for a party or special event. It's a stunner!

Disappointment again with this brand
I wanted to wear this dress so bad for my husbands marine corp ball. I rented the 44L and 46L. The 44L was 6" shorter than the 46L. This is the second time this brand has run short in the size 44 for me. With my heels it was just too short to wear and I chose my backup dress instead. It would have been perfect for my event in a sea of red dresses. 3 stars for in inconsistent sizing and the dress was very worn. Staining under the arms from deodorant and the material was showing signs of wear...pilling,etc. I'm 5'9" 165lbs and a 34ddd. I could have easily sized down to the 42. You can easily wear a strapless bra with this gown. Hard to raise your hands over your head with the straps. So if you plan on dancing a lot this might not be the dress for you.

Very comfortable gown for military ball
I am 5'9" 165lbs 34ddd and a size 10. The 10R fit perfect with room to spare. A little short but not horrible. I wore 3" heels and just tugged the dress down a bit. Strapless bra works perfectly with this dress. Sequins are not itchy and the gown is very light weight. Beautiful in photos. A bit ho-hum in person.

Perfect for my event
Fit was a bit small. Difficult to get on over shoulders. Strapless bra can be worn. I'm 5'9" 165lbs 34ddd 38-31-39 hourglass figure. Size large fit like a glove. Nice condition and looked beautiful in person.
