Big bust? Size up!!
LOVED this dress!! And it has pockets!! The floral pattern is mostly a cool gold and is slightly iridescent and gives shimmers of a light purple. Really glad I read the reviews and sized up, the fabric has no stretch, going one size up was just right to fit my DD chest. For my petite friends, I had to add 3.5 inch heels to my 5’4” frame to keep the back of the dress off of the ground. Would definitely rent again. 10/10

NOT recommended for bigger busts!
I typically wear a size 12, which is the size I rented. The side zipper closed up around my hips & waist just fine, but there is NO WAY my 36DD chest was fitting into this dress. Couldn't get the zipper up. (Thankfully, my backup dress, the Hutch Floral Mary, fit like a dream!)

Love!!
This dress fit like a dream! The knots on top untie, so you can customize the fit on top. I'm 5'4" 165lbs 36DD. Usually a size 12-14, but wore a size 10. I tried the size 12 but it was too big on top. I even had to tie the size 10 about a half inch tighter. Definitely good for those with a larger bust. And it has pockets!! I received SO many compliments at my sister's baby shower. I'm pretty bummed that I have to return it. I'll definitely be renting again!

Heavy!
I'm not a wimp when it comes to big jewelry, especially earrings. But these were painfully heavy. I couldn't wear them.

not fabulous
This was my backup dress for a date to the symphony. Thank goodness my first dress was perfect (Anything Could Happen Dress) because this was not. Rather baggy up top (I almost fell out just trying it on!) & below. Either it had been worn a lot & stretched out or the sizing runs large.

So Classy!
LOVE!! I received so many compliments! I will definitely consider renting this dress again. :) When I ordered my dresses, I had no idea what my dress size was. I had just lost 15 lbs and am in the process of losing more. So in the interest of helping out other women who might be in the same position I was, my measurements at the time worn are as follows: bust 36", waist 28", hips 39". The entire dress fit perfectly - loose enough to allow plenty of graceful movement (& to let loose on the dance floor!) but tight enough to flatter my figure, yet cover up some trouble spots. I definitely recommend seamless underwear with this dress, as it is a light weight fabric. I wore this dress with 4" heels, and that seemed to lift the hem off of the floor by about .5" to 1". It's a beautiful blue, very true to the pics on the website. I definitely recommend renting!

Precious Sapphire Gown

Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 4"

Bust: 36DD
A little disappointing
This dress looks AMAZING on the website photos. It does not look amazing on. :-( Thankfully, I had ordered this as my backup dress, and was very happy to wear my first choice dress (Carmen Marc Valvo Precious Sapphire Gown). When I ordered my dresses, I had no idea what my dress size was. I had just lost 15 lbs and am in the process of losing more. So in the interest of helping out other women who might be in the same position I was, my measurements at the time worn are as follows: bust 36", waist 28", hips 39". The top was either a little big or just cut oddly - the sleeveless/strapless side came down low enough to show my bra. The waist and hips fit well, but definitely do not disguise any trouble spots. The slit hit about mid-thigh on me. The measurements regarding length for this dress seem to be not that accurate. I am 5'4" and in 4" heels, this gown was still 1-2" too long.

Sexy & Sophisticated!
LOVE!!! I will probably rent again and absolutely recommend! So hot & sexy but classy. I was literally turning heads and receiving compliments all night long. (And still getting compliments thanks to facebook!) When I ordered my dresses, I had no idea what my dress size was. I had just lost 15 lbs and am in the process of losing more. So in the interest of helping out other women who might be in the same position I was, my measurements at the time worn are as follows: bust 36", waist 28", hips 39". The top was perfect, although I probably wouldn't recommend this dress to anyone above a D or DD cup. There is a shelf bra inside with straps that connect in the back and the top is surrounded by a sticky line and both help to create a very seductive effect - your dress is completely secure yet looks as though its about to fall right off of you. The waist and hips also were perfect. There is light boning on the sides of the dress. The hem hit at about mid-thigh. Be careful whenever sitting down - the fabric wrinkles easily & holds wrinkles. Smoothing my dress down & holding it to me as I sat seemed to do the trick & I finished the night relatively wrinkle-free. Also, the color is fantastic! It looks very pink, almost a dark hot pink on the website pics, but its more of a wine+cranberry+pink. Beautiful!

Huge Sparkle!
LOVE!!! Such a fun statement ring! Lots of bling & sparkle - and lots of compliments all night! It was much larger than I expected - I wore it on my middle finger and it covered my ring & pointer fingers as well. However, I will definitely rent again and am considering a purchase! If you like large rings, I absolutely recommend this!

LOVE!!! So cute & so much space!
I love this clutch! Compliments all night! And much larger than I thought! The zipped pocket inside has plenty of room for your ID, credit card(s), cash, etc. The main compartment was more than enough for my iPhone & lipstick & lip gloss. At one point in the evening, it also comfortably contained my boyfriend's iPhone & his full-sized bag of Peanut M&Ms! Will Definitely rent again. Even considering a purchase. Highly recommend!!!
