Fun Dress
I wore this to a disco themed fundraising bowling event. I was on the planning committee and working at the event so I didn’t try bowling in this dress. And I wouldn’t recommend trying to bowl in this dress, the reviews about it potentially riding up are true. It wasn’t an issue while standing and directing people like I was doing, but I could see how it could start to ride up if dancing or doing a lot of activity. Otherwise, it is very comfortable and with my spanx on underneath, I felt fabulous in this dress. I received lots of compliments and it was perfect for the theme. I’m a tall curvy girl and it is a short dress but it didn’t seem too short and I felt very comfortable in it. Overall a very flattering fun look.

You will look stunning in this dress
Sometimes when I rent from here I get lots of compliments on the dress, and other times I get lots of compliments about me. This one is the latter. The dress is seemingly simple so you are not likely to get “I love your dress” compliments, but you will get “you look amazing in this dress.” It hugs in all the right places and looks so good on a curvy body. I received compliments all night and of course my husband loved it too. Being a 36J in the bust I was skeptical of reviews by other reviews by busty ladies saying they went without a bras, but they were right, it is stiff and compressed enough that no bras is needed. I wouldn’t recommend jumping but otherwise the girls stayed in place on the dance floor. I don’t know why some review say you can’t wear shapewear. I wore my usual high waist compression spanks and only had to push them down like 1/2 an inch to keep them from showing. Unless you have abs of steel I recommend shapewear. I am 5’9” and rented both the regular and long. The long was perfect with a 2.5” heel.

Cute but didn’t wear
I didn’t end up wearing this because the other outfit I rented was so stunning, but it was really cute. I am a curvy size 14 in affordable clothing so I assumed I would need a high end fashion size 16 based on reviews and previous rental experiences here. I was wrong. There was lots of room in the bust and butt (I’m a 38J) and it had a lot of stretch so I should have gone with my usual size. I definitely recommend a strapless or clear/thin strap bras with this outfit. Jumper has a lot of room in the bust so I wouldn’t recommend for the small chested. Zipper tends to stick at the lace insert so don’t wear this if you won’t have a friend that will help you zip up in the restroom.

Way more sparkle in person
I did not realize this was going to be so sparkly. Since my outfit was already sparkly, this was too much sparkle to add on top. Also the coat did not fit well over my large bust. Didn't wear.

Meh
Was more plain in person. The arms were cut like a suit coat so you couldn't raise them above your shoulders without the whole dress lifting up. I thought I could dress it up for a more casual wedding but it was just too plain when it arrived and not comfortable enough for the effort.

I stood out, but in a good way.
As a tall girl, I usually can't find a romper that fits right in length, but this was perfect. It was fitted around the waist which is a necessity for a busty girl like me. Very flattering to the figure, and very stylish. The 14R fit but I wore the 16 for a looser more comfortable feel. I was getting compliments all night and even the twenty-somethings on the staff at the wedding were telling me I was best dressed. Best of all it was so comfortable.

Dressed it up
Added this belt to my civil ceremony bridal dress to make it seem more bridal. One of the crystals fell off as I pulled the belt out of the dust bag. Fortunately, I was able to sew it back on. Just be careful, very delicate.

Made a perfect civil wedding bridal dress
I wore this dress for our civil wedding ceremony. I am large chested and the buttons were a little strained around my bust. I tried going a size up but the dress was larger everywhere but the chest. I wore the smaller size because it was a better fit and added some security around the buttons. Comfortable, fun, and pretty dress.

Comfortable high fashion
I wore this dress for a Labor Day Wedding. As others have said, you will definitely need a friend or date to zip you up. Zipping up this dress by yourself is a little like trying to lick your own elbow, but once your in it fits great. The side of the dress without the strap does tend to slip down while dancing so be sure to stay attentive to it. The pleating in the skirt makes the dress easy to dance in but if you are tall like me then don't bend over. Overall great experience. I received so many compliments for my dress and it was comfortable to wear all night. The wedding DJ stopped me to tell me that he loved my look. He said "It is so dramatic and high fashion and you are the best dressed here."
