Lots of compliments!
This jumpsuit was comfortable and easy to move in while I was the organizer for a work event. The pockets were handy for my phone and other small objects. The only downside was the hem was VERY long. I had to create a shorter hem with safety pins in order to wear this with 2" heels even though I'm 5'6". Overall I would recommend this outfit!

Looks great but high maintenance
This skirt looks great, fits comfortably and is not itchy with all the sequins. However, the inner lining rolled up into a lump whenever is used the restroom, and I found it difficult to get back into place without being able to use a mirror. At one point I was caught in a tiny bathroom stall trying to adjust this while my entire party was waiting on me. I would not rent this again.

Perfect for a holiday party
I received compliments in this outfit all night. It was very comfortable, allowed me to wear a normal bra and spanx, and had super handy pockets! Very easy to accessorize.

Shoulder straps too long
I was unable to wear this because the shoulder straps were so long that the bodice hung down at the middle of my bust. The amount of taping and pinning necessary to make this work was too much. I was bummed because it's a lovely jumpsuit otherwise.

Sexy but not high maintenance
This dress was perfect for a cocktail-attire wedding. The cut is very flattering and works well with a strapless bra and spanx. The fabric was light enough for a hot summer day without being see through. I received tons of compliments on this dress- particularly from my husband!

Perfect for holiday party
I was skeptical about this dress because the neckline lays a little differently than most. It ended up being a comfortable and flattering choice for our holiday party.

So many compliments!
This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding. The design and color add a fresh twist to the ballgown. The hi-low design was very comfortable for walking and sitting and it created an elegant train in the back. No special undergarments needed for this well-designed dress. 100% happy with this choice!

Perfect for a classy gala
I rented this for a university fundraising gala. The color is beautiful and the design was flattering to my square torso. I was able to comfortably wear a strapless bra. I got several compliments on this dress throughout the evening.

A stranger told me I was the best dressed woman at a 900 person gala!
This is a stunning head-turner of a dress. It is long, and at 5'6" I had to wear 4" heels to avoid stepping on it. The arm holes also came too low for me to wear a strapless bra, but the dress is opaque and a stick on bra worked just fine. I wore this to a black tie gala at our club and was absolutely thrilled with this choice. My boyfriend was also a big fan!

Classy but sexy dress for a black tie affair!
I wore this to a formal alumni event. It is sexy without being risque at all. I did not have to wear a bra, but since it was a very cold night I wore a stick-on bra for coverage. As others said, the waistband is tight, but I was still able to wear my correct size. I started the night in 5" heels and ended it in flats and wasn't stepping on the dress either way. It is slightly tricky to navigate on stairs just because of the amount of fabric. Overall, I would highly recommend this dress!

Cross my Heart Gown

Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"

Designed for the curvy woman
This dress fit me perfectly everywhere except the bust. I'm a DD, and the bust area of this dress was HUGE on me, which never happens. The neckline was too low to wear the dress with or without a bra. Additionally, the shoulder trim was a little flat looking as others have noted. Most negatively, this dress had a funky odor that made me question whether it had even been cleaned. I was very thankful that I had ordered another dress as a backup for a special night out. This did not work for me at all! Due to the neckline I think this is dress is intended for curvier women who would fill it out differently.

Evening in Paris Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"

Bust: 32D
Perfect for our New Year's Eve date!
This dress is beautiful and festive. Because there are so many sequins, I found it itchy on my upper arms when I wasn't wearing a cardigan. I had to wear a strapless bra, and the neckline of the dress is a little odd. It would be difficult to pair it with a necklace. The clingy fabric definitely looked better with spanx underneath. Overall, a great dress for a night on the town, but not something I'd want to wear more than once.

Beautiful gown for a formal wedding!
The reviews are accurate that the waistband area of this is tight. I went a size up and it fit perfectly. The dress is also long--I'm 5'6" and wore 5" heels with a regular length. This dress was perfect for a formal wedding with an afternoon ceremony and evening reception. I received numerous compliments on the color. The dress was very comfortable to dance in and overall was exactly what I needed!
