Perfect fit, fun color and love the pockets
This was basically the perfect dress. I loved everything about it. I have rented a lot of dresses and this one was my favorite so far. I loved the fun bright pink. It was comfortable and flattering - hiding certain parts while accentuating others. I want to own this dress!!!

Wilson Dress
Theia
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34C
Cute, flirty and fun!
A twist on the traditional little black dress, I loved the neckline and bodice of this dress. The material was perfect - flattering with some give but firm enough to keep lumps and bumps from showing. I am just under 5' 4" and the length was perfect. It also has just the right amount of sparkle.

Underneath The Stars Dress

In a sea of monochromatic dresses, this one sparkled!
I rented this dress for a red carpet, black tie event in Los Angeles - was looking for something that would make a statement and stand out but not be too garish. And this one fi the bill perfectly! It was comfortable, cute and easy to wear. Not too poufy. Flattering. A little big in the chest and the arms but otherwise, true to size. Pockets were great and because of the full skirt, I was able to hold my phone, small wallet and event my event tickets without impacting the silhouette. Received lots of compliments. Based on other reviews, had been worried about the flowers on the chest but they were fine (and fun).

Bold Baroque Dress
Marchesa Notte

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

Fun, flirty and easy to wear.
Such an adorable and fun dress! Really comfy and had great pockets. Ran big in the bust. Loved the way the skirt "poofed" - made my waist look very small. A little bit short but otherwise a great dress.

Full Bouquet Dress

This dress was a mess of poofy tulle.
This dress just looked like a mess - I couldn't get the tulle to sit flat, it bunched around the waist and was way too poofy. Also, didn't have the short/long look shown in the photo.

Grand Celebration Dress
allison parris
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34C
Perfect fit - super cute. Very comfortable. LOVED this dress!!
I wore this dress to a very high end but FUN "Super Ball" themed party with scads of high net worth individuals. This dress was perfect - just enough flair to make it unique but also super wearable and comfortable. The way it fell on my hips was ideal. Just the right amount of poof to the skirt. AND it has pockets. It was adorable and sexy at the same time. Received a ton of compliments.

Keep Them Guessing Dress
Yoana Baraschi

Like a tutu - odd fit
This dress had a lot of potential but it just didn't work. The tulle was so puffy, it looked like a tutu. I am short (5'4") and, even on me, it was too short to wear to a formal event. I returned it.

Red Lace Dahlia Dress

Funny fit - did not wear
This dress had a very high waistline and look more like an empire waist dress on me, which wasn't very flattering. The material was somewhat stretchy but I absolutely could not zip it up. The material and color are fantastic and I really wanted to like this dress but it just didn't work.

Blair Rouge Dress
Preen

Less formal than expected - did not wear
Very cute dress just too informal for my event. It was basically a very simple cotton dress that would work well for a daytime or summer event. Not a good fit for a more formal evening event. Fit well - nice styling. Well made.

Fun, flattering dress - great color!
Love the look of this dress. It was the perfect "statement" piece for a big event. Received a ton of compliments on the color and the overall style. However, it was a bit roomy in the bust (of course, I am a bit small in the bust) which lead to it being a little low cut for a work-related event. I am a 34B and I wish it had been more fitted. I ended up wearing a black camisole underneath, which looked fine. Overall, however, really liked the dress. LOVE the pockets!!!

Bright, fun, beautiful ... and has pockets!
LOVE this dress!!!! I wore it to my brother's wedding and received a TON of compliments - it definitely stood out in a sea of black dresses. It was also really flattering and comfortable. I have a smaller chest and thought it ran big - the 4 was perfect on me. I also loved the length - perfect for a night of dancing, dining and chasing my kids!

Returned without wearing ... somewhat shapeless
Loved the look of this dress but when it arrived, it was baggy and shapeless. I returned it without wearing it. Thank goodness I had taken advantage of the opportunity to have a second dress mailed with it!

Pintuck Love Dress

Vibrant and flowy!
The color of this dress is fantastic as was the fit. I wore the 6 and it was perfect - maybe a little tight in the waist but the flaring of the skirt hid any imperfections (in my body and the dress!). Received a ton of compliments. Very comfortable to wear.

Sizzling Red Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34C
Feeling like $1M when I don't have $1M to spend on a dress!
I wore this dress to a fundraiser in San Francisco attended by "high society" and top philanthropists who have closets full of couture. Throughout the night, I received compliments and I felt great - felt like I fit in with the attire of the other more financially secure guests. It was also very comfortable and easy to move in as we went from cocktail hour to dinner to a concert with dancing. The color was great - very bold and bright - and the fabric was soft to the touch with intricate detailing. It was a little loose in the bust but overall fit true to size. As a mom of two, I was pleased that it hid the parts of my body that are in need of some toning.
