Gorgeous Maxi for a Tropical Dinner in Maui
The dress is beautiful but runs small. I'm usually an 8-10 and this was very snug. Still felt like a princess in it and got lots of compliments.

Prettybut not practical
I sized up in this and am glad I did. There is no give in the fabric. It's very pretty if you can sit on a cushion like a princess and do not move. If you actually do need to walk, the front fold will flip down, exposing the ribbon used to hang it up. Oops. As such, I moved very slowly all night long. Let men open the door for you when you're wearing this. Do not bend forward for any reason. Pretend you have a tiara on your head and this dress will work great.

Fun and Flirty
This dress does run small. I'm normally a 6-8 and am glad I sized up to a 10. It's also quite short. You'll want to wear a nude strapless bra with it. The slip that comes with it is pretty translucent. Overall, a fun dress.

Fun for a night out
I really liked this dress. I am typically a size medium, and this did fit true to size in the shoulders and arms, but it is very flowy and almost tent-like. I paired it with tights and booties. I'm 5'7" but didn't find it too short. It is shorter in the front and longer in the back. I will agree with another reviewer that it was smelly in the armpits and that this particular one should be pulled from the inventory. Otherwise, it was cute for a dinner out.

Perfect for St. Patrick's Gala!
This dress is very flattering and a great color. I wore it at a St. Patrick's Auction and paired with my hubby's jacket from Shinesty, we got compliments all night. The ruching helps cover the midsection and the fabric was soft and forgiving. I would wear it again.

Perfect for Valentine's Wine Tasting Event
The fabric of this dress is gorgeous and I received lots of compliments on it. It does run a bit smug in the waist, so you might want to size up. The cap sleeves are really flattering, as is the length. I will rent this one again.

Lady in Red!
This is a great dress. Style and fit are perfect. I'm a 34DD and the neckline was great. My only complaint was that the fabric seemed a little worn.

Fun for a party
I rented this for a party but will not be wearing it. The sexy plunge is fine, but because it is also super short, it's a little too revealing. I normally wear a size 8 and the small fit.

A fun option for a night out.
I rented this for a party along with two other sequin dresses to choose from. This fits true to size and the color variation is really cool. It is pretty but not spectacular, so I'll be wearing a different choice.

A good choice for work
This is a nice wool jacket. The fabric is substantial and I wore it on a snowy day to work. I preferred to wear it zipped up, rather than open. It was a little boxy but fit true to size. I gave it 3 stars because I would not choose it again.

Cute for work, but very short.
This is a nice dress with lots of stretch and a fun style. It's a little too short for work, so I paired it with boots and leggings and a black jacket. The dress I received is a bit worn with some pilling. Fit was true to size.

The Pretty Woman Dress!
Who doesn't remember that iconic red dress that Julia Roberts wore to the opera in Pretty Woman? Well, this looks just like it and it's lovely. The fit is true to size. I am 5'7" and the regular length was fine with a 3 inch heel, but I wonder if the 8L would've been even better. Classic and elegant.

Quite clingy
I'm 5'7" and tried the long. Even with 5 inch platform heels, it was dragging on the ground. A train is beautiful in theory, but I would not want to wear it to an event where it would be stepped on. Also note that the fabric is very clingy. I am not sure what undergarments to pair with it that wouldn't show. Finally, the top seam in the neckline shows. Not a dress for me.

Fit runs very small!
The pictures of this dress had me enthralled and it really is an unusual fabric in person. Not only is it embossed, but it's also iridescent, with greens and golds. I didn't wear this dress because even though I sized up, it was still too small. I'd recommend sizing up 1 to 2 sizes.

Lady in Red
I sized down to a 42-6 and usually wear an 8, but the fit was perfect. It's a great color and you'll get a lot of compliments. I'm a 34DD and the fit was appropriate in the bust for a night out.

Herve Leger Never Disappoints
This is a real bandage dress and the quality is excellent for holding you in. I felt like a hot momma in it and will likely rent it again. Don't expect a large range of motion in it while walking as it's very tight and a longer length. However, you should be treated like a princess in it anyway. :-)

Rose Gold Bag adds a nice touch
I elected to add some mystery bling to my order for $15 and this is what was sent. I would not have thought to pick a rose gold bag as my accessories were gold, but it paired fine. It's got very soft leather and was large enough to fit a cell phone and makeup bag inside.

Classy and hot at the same time!
This dress is very classy but the cutouts give it some "oomph"! I was worried that I'd have to wear a strapless bra, but even at 34DD, I could go without and not show under boob. Longer length was very feminine. I'm 5'7" with long legs and it hits right at the knees. Will rent again.

Super cute but order a size up!!
Love the look of it but I wear between 6-8 and wish I had ordered a 10. I'm still going to wear it despite the fact I'll barely eat in it and the the hem needs to be repaired. My husband was not a fan: "Are you wearing two dresses?" But overall, it's really fun. Will pair with black pumps and dangly earrings. No need for many accessories.

Okay, but...
It fit fine, but I'm short waisted. So, every time I'd raise my arms, it would rise up and look appealing. However, that might be romper a in general for me.

Nice work option.
This dress has heavy quality fabric but still wrinkled by the end of the day. I paired it with black pumps for a professional work look. It fits snug, but is true to size.

Cute dress for work or dinner out
The dress fits true to size. It is very firm fitting and will show any bulges. The material is cut into diagonal flaps. The back flap kept rolling up, exposing the fabric underneath. The fabric underneath also showed in the arm hole. It was relatively cute, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Nice for outdoor summer event.
I wore this to an outdoor event where temperatures reached 90 degrees. Since previous reviews mentioned this dress wrinkles easily, I made sure to stand most of the night. I received a nice compliment on it. Fit was a bit roomy, but not too bad.

A modern look when paired with a classic dress.

Great color!
Like another reviewer, this was a pretty snug fit for a 34DD. I managed to wear it for an event but would size up in the future.

Fun for a night out!
I have worn this brand before, and know that it's runs pretty true to size. The one unfortunate thing about wearing a dress previously worn by others is the elastic is not as firm as it would be if it was new. So no need to size up as its not very tight. I would also recommend wearing Spanx with it.
