This dress was beautiful. I wore it to a beach wedding and got tons of compliments. I am a size 8 in everything, and my usual size fit me perfectly over most of my body. The main drawback was the chest. I am a small DD, and this dress could not accommodate me. I wore a minimizing strapless bra, but I still had to use a bunch of safety pins to contain myself, and my chest was smushed rather awkwardly. If you are large in the bust, definitely size up!

I was excited to rent this to wear for an important speech I needed to give at work. When it arrived a day late, I was nervous, but from the entirely positive reviews I thought I would be ok. However, once it arrived, I had a major problem. I could fit into the dress, but the zipper was so tricky that I could not zip it even though there was plenty of room (especially the upper back). Even if I could have zipped it, the structure in the stomach area is really unflattering, and I found it to be tight across the hips. That being said, do not rent this dress if you live alone and don't have someone to zip you up. Also, if you have an hourglass figure, definitely order a size up (hopefully that would minimize the abdominal bunching).

I rented this dress to wear to a wedding where I would be meeting all my new boyfriend's friends. I wanted to basically be arm candy, and this dress definitely did the trick. However, maybe because I'm kind of tall, it was so short that I really couldn't wear it without opaque tights, and I still felt uncomfortable meeting lots of new people in it (it makes a pretty strong impression). Ultimately, I ended up wearing something from my own closet. If only I were shorter!
