Didn't fit up top
This is a very pretty dress although I didn't wear it. I rented both a 0 and a 2 and the 0 was VERY small. My hips are wide so the 2 fit better there but my bust still didn't fill out the top. The way the dress is designed, I couldn't wear a strapless bra because you could see it and a sticky bra still didn't fill it out enough. I think if the strap was shorter, maybe my and inch or two, the dress would have fit MUCH better. Pretty dress just not for me.

Perfect black tie dress
I rented this for a black tie wedding in October. I wore a size 6R and it fit perfectly. I am barely 5'1" and the dress hit the floor perfectly with 3inch heels. The front dips very low so if you're concerned about cleavage, this dress probably isn't for you. I used some fashion tap to keep the straps closer to my chest in case I bent over. The straps are very wide so I did pin them in a bit to make them more narrow. This dress was very form fitting but accentuates in all the right places.

Simply shift dress.
I'm decently curvy around the hips. Ordered a 4 and it fit just fine without the top being too large. Just a simple navy dress. Nothing too interesting about it. Perfect for work.

Great work dress. Got tons of compliments.
I'm 5'1" and wore a 2R. I was worried it would Make me look frumpy and short but I received a bunch of compliments. Fit was great and really comfortable.

Nice white dress for outdoor event.
I rented a zero based on the reviews and glad that I did because I think the top/sleeves would have been even larger than they were. The waist is incredibly tight though. If you want to eat a lot this is definitely not the dress for you. I got compliments on this dress though because it did make my waist look smaller. There is a liner on this dress that makes the bottom flare out a lot. And there are pockets.

Got compliments all night
I rented a 2 for an outdoor party. It was perfect and very one loved it. The bright detail on the side made the dress look more slimming. I have wide hips and it definitely fit over those. The only issue was the top section. I had planned not to wear a bra (because the top is sheer) but had to wear a strapless bra instead to make the top not be baggy. The fabric is stretchy too which is a plus.

Did nothing for my 5'1 frame
The dress is very pretty in person. However, because of my larger hips, it's didn't accentuate any of my good attributes. Plus, it hit right below the knees which if you aren't tall it's not a good look.

Itchy fabric
Fit was good over all after I adjusted the straps. The fabric was a little rough so not super comfortable.

Top portion heavy
The romper fit overall but the top was bigger than I needed it to be. You can adjust the straps and it still fell like I was falling out of it. The fabric is also a little heavier than expected which only made the top fit even less. Probably wouldn't rent again unless I got a smaller size.

Cute purse/backpack
Really pretty color purse with lots of strap options so very versatile. Purse is surprisingly heavy though.

Cute cut. Too short.
I couldn't wear this. I am 5'1" and rented a small. Top fit great. The thing that made it unwearable was the length of the shorts. If the shorts had been even just a little bit longer it could have been bearable but it was so short it was borderline inappropriate. I do have a butt so if you don't, this romper might be for you.
