Very disappointing
What a strange fit. The zipper was snug to the middle of my back - and I thought, 'HUZZAH!' but the the front, shoulders, and armholes gaped in the most revealing and horrible way. No lie - my Pomeranian would have fit into the chest portion WITH ME. It's almost as though they put a size 12 bottom with a size 22 top. Seriously, there was no way to salvage this. What a disappointment, because the fabric is just too cute and the skirt is a nice length and kinda flirty.

Beautiful print
This one has been on my wish list for a while, so when it became available, I snagged it even though I had nowhere to wear it. I was shocked at how well it fit, considering my body type as well as other members' comments about the tightness in the ribcage. The dress fell to mid-calf and had a nice sweep. The top is cut very, very low and if you are blessed in the chest, the little ties won't hide the fact. Construction was generally good, but I was surprised to see once-finished seams inside. At this price point, the tailoring should be much more precise. The colors in the fabric were beautiful and the print is stunning; the feel of the fabric, however, is thick and rough, somewhat unpleasantly so. Again, at this price point, I expected something a bit more luxurious. My guess is that it's hard to make a print this vivid and complex work on natural fibers.

I love it!
I have not worn a blouse in a very, very long time, because they are inevitably too tight across the bust if the shoulders fit, and if the bust fits, I'm otherwise swimming in fabric. But I took a chance on this one, because what the heck, I can always send it back. IT FITS! It's flattering! It's soft! The colors are luscious! I wore it to work with slim black ponte trousers and flats. Compliments abounded! Just a great blouse.

I love this bag.
This is, by far, the nicest tote I've ever rented. I may break down and buy it. The leather is very supple and the bag sturdily made. The middle pocket zips closed and that's where I keep my wallet. It fits everything I need to schlep to work (water bottle, notebooks, the occasional coffee mug) and goes with everything I wear. Love it.

Rented for my daughter
She is 17, 5'2, 120 lbs, hourglass proportions with a 36C bustline. Beautiful, flattering, comfortable, and had pockets. Also, she was able to wear with a standard bra. Win-win!

Wore to nephew's wedding
Flattering, comfortable, and true to size. I am just shy of my 60th birthday, almost 5'4, 170 lbs, 38FF, and would be reasonably proportional if I were two cup sizes smaller. I was able to wear a standard bra and did not need a shaper (not that I would have worn one, I don't have the patience any longer!) Covered my knees, too. The sequins did not itch; however, my bracelet caught on them occasionally, as to be expected with sequins and so forth. I would have bought this had I anywhere else to wear it.

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous - what a standout!
The only way to appreciate the glory that is this dress is to see it in person. The embroidery is beautiful, the colors are rich, and the construction is excellent. We rented this for my 17 y.o. daughter's homeschool fall formal. She is 5'1, 120 lbs, hourglass proportions. It came to the knee, as you can see in the photo. She had to wear a strapless bra - halter would have worked, but she was uncomfortable. X-back bra showed, and regular bra was, of course, right out because, again, the straps would have been visible. She reported it as being very comfortable, which it must have been, because she said she danced every single dance! I think she looked spectacular. No one else had a dress anything close to this beautiful.
