Don't forget the fashion tape!
I rented this dress for my husband's company's annual gala. The jersey material is very comfortable and the combination of the rouching and black color hide any tummy pooch/early baby bump you might have. I am 5'7" and wore 1" kitten heels and the regular length was fine. I have three complaints about this dress. It got dirty very easily. I washed my hands and still managed to get smudges of goodness knows what all over it. Luckily rubbing the fabric together does the trick. Second, you can't tell from the photos that there is a slit up the left leg. It doesn't come too high, about mid-thigh, and was not a big problem. Finally, I needed a combination of safety pins and fashion tape to keep the lovely draped fabric over my right boob. The left was fine, maybe the fabric on the right side was really stretches out or something. I ended up feeling fabulous in the dress, but I was uncomfortable and self-conscious the entire night, particularly considering that it was a work function.

Not for ladies with boobs!
This dress was sent to me as a substitute because the backup size for the dress I chose was not available. There is no way this dress would work with my DDs. I tried it on and it looks ridiculous. And because of the back you cannot wear a bra with it - even a low-back strapless.

Beautiful!
This is a beautiful, shimmering, curve-hugging gown. And comfortable! I ended up wearing a different dress because it was a bit too fancy for the event, but I would definitely rent this again.

Could not zip it up!
This is a lovely, curve-hugging dress, but I could not zip it up all the way, even in a larger size and with help from my husband.

Lovely and comfortable!
This dress is a beautiful, vibrant cobalt blue. I felt so pretty in it! Most importantly it was comfortable, even in 90-degree heat at an outdoor wedding! I am 5'8" and wore it with flats. I only had to pick up the skirt when ascending and descending stairs so I didn't step on the hem. My only complaint is that I couldn't wear a regular bra with this. It doesn't have those little snaps at the shoulders that some dresses have and the shoulders come in too much. My bra straps would have stuck out by about a half-inch or so. I had some trouble with the zipper at the waistband - pushing it up from the bottom rather than pulling it up seemed to do the trick. Overall a lovely dress!

Frumpy
I rented this dress for a wedding. Unfortunately it was not available in my regular size (10) so I ordered the 12 thinking it might run small. It was way too big. Perhaps it was the size, but I found it to be a little frumpy and not at all as chic and lovely as it appears in other photos. I doubt I would have worn it even if the size was right.

Lovely bracelet!
This piece was pretty, lightweight, and the prongs did not get caught on anything or pull at the fabric of my (also rented) dress. Will rent this again.

Gorgeous!
I've had this bracelet on my favorites list for a while and was so excited to have an occasion fit for such a lovely piece. It was larger than I expected, but so, so lovely! The clasp stayed secure through lots of dancing and it was very comfortable to wear. Will definitely rent again!

Gorgeous earrings!
These earrings are beautiful and not at all heavy. I wore them to a wedding and danced all night. The backs stayed on snugly and the earrings were comfortable throughout. Will definitely rent again!

Lovely but the top did not stay put. I was pulling it up all night - major disappointment!
The dress was beautiful and I got tons of compliments. I ordered the smaller size as my backup as the reviews & fit guide recommended. It was too snug across the chest (D cup) so I opted for my "regular" size. It was very comfortable and I felt fabulous, but the top did not stay up. I had to yank it up when I took my coat off, and kept checking myself all night. Once we started dancing I had to practically hold it up! It was a major disappointment.
