Didn't wear it
this was my backup dress and I wore the other one. This fit just fine, but the style wasn't flattering. Too much flare at the bottom.

Studio Bonded Dress

Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 3"

Bust: 38DD
Cute but puffy dress
The shoulders were a bit loose and there are no snaps for a bra strap but I had a silk wrap that I used when I was sitting down. The skirt is quite full with many pleats and not entirely flattering for a short buxom gal but the fabric is very pretty and overall worked for me.

LBD with bling
I went with the bigger size to have a bit of room around the middle. This made the shoulders a bit loose but I wore a regular bra with no issues. Really fun with the Jane Jetson style flare at the bottom. Comfortable to wear all night for a wedding.

LBD just ok
Dress was a bit too big overall but the smaller size was unavailable at the last minute. The other dresses I ordered as last minute backup were really bad fitting so I went with this one. The length was fine on me at 5'3". Cute basic little black dress.

Great navy dress!
Dress runs large but I loved it even with a bit of gap in the shoulders and this also pretty low cut. If you are busty and don't mind showing cleavage, this is a super cute dress. Also good for short ladies. At/right above knee for me. Only drawback is no pockets.
Navy Petal Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 3"

Cute LBD
I needed an emergency dress to replace a dress I had ordered but that became unavailable. This was the only dress that even came close to fitting and even though it seemed a bit casual for an evening wedding, I went with it and accessorized with sparkly gold shoes and jewelry and a gold silk wrap. It worked out great. Good for warm weather only.

Great New Years Eve dress
I loved this dress. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is there were no bra strap snaps inside the top of the shoulders, so I had some slippage. Otherwise it wore easily, no issues sitting down, got compliments all night! The waist band was comfortable and I didn't need to wear any shapewear. I used some body tape to try to keep the cleavage to a minimum but it didn't work very well and I don't mind showing some skin. Fabric was not itchy either.

Silver dress rocked!
The dress fit well in the 14. It was just below the knee on me (5'3"). I wore this for my niece's wedding and got many compliments on the cutout as well as the overall look. I would rent this again!

Beautiful dress and great fit
I wore this dress for a dressy 50th birthday/cocktail party. It fit great, very flattering neckline, nice full skirt but not too full. Loved the pockets. The length on me was tea length but it worked fine. The skirt is a lovely brocade pattern. Great for a fall or winter party or wedding.

Great birthday party dress!
I got this dress as a last minute replacement to another that I had ordered to wear for my 50th birthday party. I loved this dress. It fit me wonderfully and was comfy to wear. The dress has a texture almost a bit tweedy but has a silvery sheen woven in plus some silver piping along the seams. I got tons of compliments at the party and people couldn't believe I rented it that day! Thanks to the rtr service desk agent who helped me find a dress that might work. It was perfect and I will rent it again!!

Runs small
The dress was super cute but far too tight through the bust and across the back. Too bad because the color and cut were adorable. I was able to get an alternative dress sent the next day to wear instead.

Runs very big
The cut was way too big all over but I wore it anyway since it was all I had to wear that night. The shoulders were too big, the skirt is very flow-y and would be great on a much taller person. The fabric is a nice blush color. A good daytime or semi formal dress.

A beautiful dress perfect for a fancy cocktail party!
The dress fit really well through the bust (I am busty) and the length was tea length on me (I am 5'3".). The top has a lacy outer layer but not sheer. The bottom is a slightly metallic silver. Not too shiny but really classy. I was hosting a party for 250+ college classmates for our collective 50th birthdays this year and I got so many compliments all night.

Loved the color and the swingyness of this dress! Great for dancing.
Fit well through the bust but was loose in the hips. I'm not an hourglass so don't need that room but would be perfect on that shape. Color and sheen were great. I got many compliments all night.

Dress looks great and is comfortable. I'm sure it will be great for my cousin's wedding.
I ordered both the 14 and 16 and usually wear no bigger than a 14. I was surprised that I needed the 16 but mainly because of the bust. I'm a 38DD. Also, I have a small butt/hips so the flare more than covers everything and is kinda cute.
