IN a sea of LBDs, this dress really stood out!
This lovely dress fits perfectly on an hourglass figure - much better than on the slender model pictured. And don't be shy about the cut-outs! I am 56, and not usually one to show a lot of skin, but this was open enough to be interesting and modern, but modest enough to wear virtually anywhere. It is amazing!

This was very professional looking for work.
This is a lovely bag, and I liked it very much.. If I had purchased it, am sure I would use it daily. Although it turned put to be slightly larger than I pictured it, it's shape makes it very easy to open and easily find what I ned - much easier than a deeper bag with the same volume. I will rent this again!

Great event.
This is a lovely dress made from beautiful fabric. But even though I am a C cup (a full C, but not a D), it was too tight to breath in or wear. I'll bet it would be lovely on a girl with a slightly smaller chest.

In a sea of white and LBDs, this juicy jumpsuit really stood out!
It is not too tight in the seat or chest, but sits perfectly at the waist. The fit could not have been better if it had been made for me. I honestly love this piece, and plan to rent again every chance I get!

Everyone dressed to the nines!
The photos of this dress do not do it justice! Do not miss this beautifully made and lovely dress. It is so comfortable to wear, and just glides around your breasts and hips, showing off your nice shoulders. I worried that it would make me look too big (have a curvy figure) but nothing could have been further from the truth. It looked sexy but classy, and people literally stopped me all evening long to ask wear I had found this beautiful gown! It has a Grecian Goddess, ethereal feel to it, and with the beaded neckline, all I needed was a tiny silver clutch and pearl earrings, and I was done. So, so lovely!

This dress made me feel incredible!
This dress has a little stretch, so it made the most of my curves without looking like I was trying too hard. Very classy from the front, and gently feminine and sexy from the back, without giving anything away. Perfect length - not too short or too long - and so, so, so comfortable to wear. Perfect for the classy Bridal Shower I went to, but would also wear for a work evening function, theatre, or holiday cocktail party. Lightweight enough to wear any time of the year. I will be renting again! ... and again, and again...

Bright, stand-out color
Very close fitting, but fabric has some stretch and give. Be prepared to wear little or nothing underneath - everything shows. But the color is beautiful and bright, and will make you the center of attention. Needs nothing more than a black clutch, scrappy heels and shoulder-duster earrings!

This dress is beautifully styled, not too low in the back, and made of incredible fabric.
It is very small in the bust. I wear a small "C" cup bra, but my chest was still bound very tightly by this fabric and style which has no give to it. It also is somewhat short waisted, so sits about 1 1/2" above my natural waist. Perfect for a Petite. It truly is a lovely dress, but I think I will order the 12 next time to see if it fives me a bit more room to breathe.

This dress made me feel incredible!
This dress is very special! Both the front and back stitching and detailing make for a VERY slimming dress that had everyone telling me how great I looked, and asking how I lost the weight! The fabric is lovely with a great pattern and drape. The secret I discovered is that it is reversible, looking special in an entirely different way when worn with the zipper in the front rather than the back. Seriously - an amazing dress that could be worn anywhere!

Beautiful tropical colors and great fit!
This dress is made of scuba type material with a lot of stretch. It fits close to the skin (thank you Spanx!), but the fabric has enough body to keep your secrets safe. It is not quite as dark or bold colored as pictured, but it still had a nice sizzle of color. Dressed it up with bright cobalt blue accessories and high heels. Spectacular! Felt like a million bucks!

This was an elegant evening event for work - needed to shine without a lot of bling.
Incredible fabric, and nice, figure-shaping fit. Not too tight, with a nicely tailored skirt that hugged my knees a bit and made my legs look long. Theses a very elegant dress that I needed for an evening cocktail event where I wanted to stand out, but NOT because of cleavage, bling, or too much leg. The fabric has a little shine to it, without being overt. Really, really classy, but the cut-in shoulders and lovely shape still give it a little sex appeal without being too much. Will rent again!

Stunning color and shape!
I am a red-head with pale skin, and was not sure if I could wear this color. But it is incredibly beautiful. Seriously, it stopped traffic in the streets! The pictures do not do this lovely color - a very warm pumpkin with ruby undertones - proper justice. Also, although it doesn't look very impressive on the hanger, wait until you try it on! The silk fabric is also skillfully sewn to make the best of your shape. Nicely fitted at the waist. Can't wait to rent again!

A real shape-maker in a stunning color!
This is perfect for an hourglass figure and a girl with nice shoulders. It is simple looking, but the cut-in shoulders, snug-fitting waist, and flowing, non-wrinkle fabric that hangs beautifully, will flatter almost anyone. When you add the beautiful color on top of all of that - it is a sure winner! I want one of these in my closet all the time!

Elegant and classy
I needed a striking dress for a serious business-related date, but also something elegant and classy. This really accomplished all of that. The neckline is very feminine without being too revealing. And the slit in the bottom of the narrow skirt made it easy to walk in. A great pair of heels, clutch, and simple pearl drop earrings was all that was needed. I would love to this travel with! It doesn't wrinkle, folds up small, isn't heavy, and stops traffic in the streets!

Beautiful fabric.
Dress fits very well, and makes the most of an hourglass figure. Fabric is lightweight - unusual for a brocade design like this - and was very comfortable to wear. This is one of those dresses that might not immediately catch your eye, but is elegantly beautiful and striking on. Will rent again.

Great event.
This dress fits beautifully on my hourglass figure, but the bustle back ruffles and lovely lace fabric make it too formal for most events - would work great for an evening wedding or even black tie event. Very hard to zip without assistance due to stiff fabric.

Was too small to wear comfortably.
Fits small for size. Size L fits a 6-8 best. Beautiful color.
