Not my style
From the pictures I thought this dress was more of an A-line. It was not. The skirt fit more like a pencil skirt and drew attention to my shoulders. It just wasn't a flattering style for me, sadly.

VERY sparkly
This dress did not fit my body well. Sorry, no picture for this one. It kind of hung on me and just wasn't flattering.

Lovely dress, but didn't fit
This dress is a statement! I usually wear a size 14 or 12, depending on the style. This dress is so tight in the rib area that I could not get it zipped up. Like, it wasn't even close.

So flowy!
This dress was quite tight in the bodice. I tried the larger backup size, but then it was very loose in the armpit so I sucked it up.....literally. It was so much fun to walk in as the organza was just luscious. I wore a convertible bra with the straps over the one shoulder and that was fine. I'm already a little on the busty side (36D) and the way the organza was draped over the bodice, it made the girls appear a bit larger.

Get yourself a plunge bra and you're good to go! This dress makes a statement in its simplicity. Loved it!

Very elegant
This was a great dress that was not my typical style. (I am definitely not the ruffles and flowers type.) But I got a ton of compliments on this dress, and it was comfortable. It hid my stomach which I am self conscious about, and the slit showed off my legs. My only complaint is that the straps kept slipping, even when I tightened them. Not a huge deal, but it was a little annoying.

Classy, yet sexy!
I have done many rentals but this one is easily one of my favorites! I love that I can wear a regular bra with it. And the pockets! 'Nuff said.

The color SINGS!
This dress! Wow!! I wore it with a strapless bra, but I probably could have gone without. (36C) The pockets were awesome and the color is just.....wow! The back is very long. I wore heels and it just brushed the ground.

Made it work and it was amazing!
Let me start with this- I have never gone without a bra. I first tried on this dress and didn't think it would work. The girls just aren't as perky as they once were and I really need to wear a bra. I found out (thank you, YouTube) that you can use athletic tape to give breasts some lift and guess what? It actually worked! I was very nervous and self conscious at first, but you can see from my smile in the picture, it actually worked!

OMG, this dress is AMAZING!
I am 5'7", 159lbs., 36B (I'm always scanning the reviews for this info so I put it first.) This dress was AMAZING! I wore it to my brother's wedding and received compliments all night long. I could have gone bra-less since the fabric was on the thicker side, but I opted to wear a nude colored bra. You could only see it if you were really looking for it and once the lights went down on the dance floor, there's no way anyone noticed. Hello, pockets!!!! I was able to hang onto my phone and other essentials with no problem. Heck, I even snuck a can of beer to the bride in one of them at one point. This dress fit me like a glove and I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could! It was classy with a touch of sass.

Amazing, flowy, and so much fun to wear!
I am 5'7", 159lbs., 36B and I wore the small. (I'm always scanning the reviews for this info so I thought I'd put it first.) This dress was a winner! I wore it for a rehearsal dinner. It was flowy and very fun! I ordered the medium and the small. Usually I go for the medium, but that looked a little "frumpy." The small hugged in just the right places. It seemed to ride up just a smidge in the back, but it wasn't a bit deal. You could see through the fabric because it was so light. I had to wear nude colored undergarments otherwise they would have shown. I couldn't really keep anything other than a chapstick in the pockets because it would have dragged the dress down. My phone fit, but was a little heavy.
