Great for Late Pregnancy
I wore this to a wedding almost 37 weeks pregnant. Do not size up or the sides will gape, and get the petite if you are short. The back is low, so you will need sticky boobs. I would not pick this style as a petite person unless I was pregnant—there is SO much fabric. That being said, someone told me it was the most beautiful dress they had ever seen a pregnant person wear, and I was definitely comfortable.

Perfect for Pregnancy
I wore this to my baby shower at 33 weeks pregnant. It was the perfect combination of fitted support and flow. Loved it!

Great Dress!
Loved this dress and got a lot of compliments. I sized down 1-2 sizes based on reviews. Because of that the dress was tight in my ribs (so I felt secure), but still slightly big in the chest (32 B). It wasn’t a problem except for when I was dancing—I should have invested in fashion tape! The bow was not floppy at all and stayed in place perfectly. Overall this is a great statement piece!

Rent This Dress!
Perfect dress for me. Definitely better for B cup or smaller—I filled it out as a 32 B. My regular size worked fine. Got so many compliments and it was so comfortable!

Did the job!
I wore this dress for my bridal shower. It was super cute and the bow was amazing. The only issue is that it is most definitely see through. I wore shape wear shorts underneath to avoid lines showing through, but I had to make sure they weren’t showing every time I sat. It was annoying but manageable.

Favorite Rental
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner. It is my favorite dress to ever have rented. The color is so bright and fun! It is great for pear shapes—the skirt gives so much movement and creates a flattering shape, but the top is definitely tight and I wouldn’t recommend for larger than a 32B or someone with a larger rib cage. LOVE.

Evermore-esque
I wore this to a concert. It was a bit short, but with biker shorts underneath I had no worries. It was a bit itchy, but totally wearable. Definitely better for petites.

Great dress for casual wedding!
I loved this dress. I wore it to a brewery wedding at the end of November. The smocking on top is so flattering and cinches the waist perfectly and the bottom was just flowy enough for my pear shape. It was hard to tell whether the dress was green and blue or green and black—I think it is blue, but I like paired with black shoes and jacket and no one noticed.

Basic, but solid choice
I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner. It was great! I only rented this size, so I 'm not sure if I could have sized down. The color is very pretty, and the bows are a nice touch, but the shape is super basic and nothing to write home about.

Great dress!
I rented this dress for a wedding and loved it. It was a much stretchier fabric than I thought it would be, and it fit great on my pear shaped frame. I even wore the smaller size I rented. I had no trouble with the bust (34B) or length (I'm 5'2"). Some reviewer's didn't like the fabric or the length of the straps, but those things didn't bother me at all.

Great dress--runs small
Rented this dress for a wedding and loved it. It is only good for a B cup or smaller, however. The skirt is beautiful for pear shaped bodies, but the liner below is VERY short. The dress is a dark enough color that it doesn't matter. I wore tan spandex underneath just in case. It runs small so size up.

Size up with this beauty
This was a beautiful dress that worked perfectly for a wedding. Size up because it is small around the rib cage. I was nervous about the underskirt being short because of all the reviews, and it was, but it didn't bother me. Things stayed put all night and I didn't flash anyone! I would recommend for smaller chested, shorter people.

Great, sexy dress for a wedding
This dress worked so well for a wedding at an indoor venue. It showed some skin while still being absolutely comfortable and effortless.

Comfortable and Easy
Great dress! Super easy to wear, and I got lots of compliments. I liked the length even though I'm 5'2", and the smocking at the waist was flattering. The only issue was the snap at the front kept popping open throughout the night, especially when I was dancing. If you don't mind having to resnap something a bunch, or leaving it open for a different look, you can't go wrong with this dress.

Great Dress!
I loved this dress. The color and neckline are beautiful and unique and I love a good A-line. Just be aware this dress is NOT for bigger busts. It was very tight around the boobs and ribs. My 34B's were in there tight with stickies in both the 2 and the 4. Any bigger and this dress would be unwearable.

Awesome Dress!
Rented this dress for my friend 's wedding and LOVED it. The asymmetrical hem is so fun and the strapless top is not too restricting. I was a little nervous it would be too tight because I have a bigger lower half, but it was very flattering.

LOVE
This is my favorite rental to date. The colors are amazing, and the dress is so feminine and unique. Love, love, love the way I felt in this. The only con is that I had to keep pulling the under layer of fabric down throughout the night as it kept riding up. But it is a price well worth the beauty of this dress!

Unique dress great for petites!
Overall, I liked this dress. I am a pear shape, so it was a little more form fitting around my hips than I usually wear/like to wear, but it was still flattering. I definitely had to wear my larger backup six's with this one. I did have to adjust the bottom and keep pulling it down through the night. It's clear that this dress is a Rent the Runway favorite because there were some signs of wear at the bottom of the dress-- small tears in the netting/fraying. But if you are looking for a statement dress, you can't go wrong! It's unique and no one else was wearing anything like it.

Great Bachelorette Party Dress!
This dress hugged my curves and gave a sexy effect with the cutouts, while still providing coverage. It is perfect if you want to go for a sexy but classy look.

Great Dress
This is a perfect dress to wear to a wedding. I ordered the 2 and 4 and ended up wearing the 2-- I could've probably gone with the 0 so it runs a little big. I am short so I always worry about length, but this dress was perfect!
