Rented from the Vegas store - great dress!
To start, I didn't love the experience I had with the Vegas store. A little lackluster in the friendliness department, and no way to prove you returned the dress (which was an issue later - they charged me for not returning the dress, then finally refunded my money after I emailed them - I saw a lot of that issue on their Yelp page). The dress was great though! Fit wonderfully - it is a thick material, and didn't ride up too much. I was in Vegas in November when I wore this, and still needed a coat at night outside, but it was much better than the usual skimpy Vegas dress! I was literally stopped my people and complimented while walking back from dinner on The Strip!

Gold band was too tight for my pregnant self!
The dress fit great everywhere except for the gold sequined portion. There was no give there, so I couldn't wear it with the baby bump. Normally I think it would be fine!

I wish I owned it!
Big enough for the essentials and your phone. Fancy enough for a ball, fun enough for a date night out!

Enough room for me and the baby bump at my husband's military ball!
Not something I would normally pick for a ball, but it fit really well even at 6 months pregnant.

Perfect for bridesmaids with a lot of wedding events to attend!
Definitely worth the money if you have a busy wedding season! I've rented for 3 wedding related events and two weddings, plus my free birthday dress. I've loved it!

Struggled with finding a way to wear it but it looked awesome with a black lace bandeau!
Not the best picture of the dress, but hopefully it helps show the cut of the dress. I am not able to be a part of the no-bra camp (thanks darling daughter!) but that would work really well with some fashion tape for a lot of girls! I bought a lace bandeau to wear under and it was great. I really liked this dress but it was a little out of my comfort zone. Fun for the bachelorette party at least!

LOVED the fit, the pattern and colors!
A great summer party dress! I wore this for my sister's bridal shower and would definitely rent again. I wore it belted and felt it better accentuated the skinny parts ;)

Great fun dress for a bridal luncheon and girls day!
Ran large for me. I loved the fun floral print and the way the dress flowed. A tiny bit long for me in sandals at 5'8" but I think a heel or wedge might have been too much. I prefer too long! Adjustable straps are great!

WRINKLES!
I wanted to love this dress. The smaller size fit me better (wore a 4 instead of my usual 6) and I loved the detail on the back. I had to steam out a lot of wrinkles and within 10 minutes of being in the car the dress was pretty much ruined for the night with more wrinkles. I received a lot of compliments but I was so self conscious because of the wrinkles. Not exactly mom-friendly as I carried my toddler around!

The orange-y color didn't work for this occasion but I would definitely rent again
Ordered this in a 6r and 8r - the 6 was damaged so they sent me a couple other options in addition to the 8. The 8 was pretty baggy around my rib cage and gapped in the back so I think the 6 would have been great. A small heel would be fine at 5'8" in this dress. The dress was more orange-coral instead of pink-coral so I ended up wearing the other dresses for the wedding weekend.

A great outfit for a casual bachelorette night out
I get nervous about rompers because I have a long torso and they can look too "young" or skimpy on me. This was NOT the case with this one! Great fit, long enough shorts to not feel self conscious, fun print. The material is like a gauzy cotton, so there are some snags, but most are just naturally a part of the fabric. The only thing wrong was that the hook and eye clasps holding the front together we're pretty loose, so I was a little concerned about the thread breaking and flopping open. I would not only rent this again, I would actually consider buying it!

Great dress for a wedding, but the train can be a little cumbersome.
The 6L fit me really well with sandals. It was a little long, but manageable. I received a TON of compliments on this dress! I wore it with a dark brown belt because I like my waist to look more defined. The outdoor wedding was a little muddy so I had to pick up the dress more than usual, but overall I would definitely rent this again!

amazing! I don't think anyone could look bad in this dress.
Fit was great, wore it with black and gold accessories. I received so many compliments! The top of the dress did flip over to reveal the elastic a few times, but it wasn't too noticeable.

I had high hopes for this dress but it didn't work out.
Normally I wear an 8 or 10, but in this case I doubt the 8 would have worked either. The dress fit fine through the hips, but was huge in the chest. While I'm not exactly well-endowed, neither am I small-chested. The material was nice, but I think the white portion at the top would have ended up twisted throughout the night.

My "mystery bling" ended up being perfect!
These were gorgeous - a little heavy, but not unmanageable. They are surprisingly bulky, not as dainty as you might think. They were still a great addition and I'd definitely rent them again!

LOVED this dress - I don't think I've ever received more compliments!
Perfection! The 8L was great with 3(ish) inch heels, and comfortable to wear. I didn't have any issues with one side slipping down. I wore spanx and a strapless bra, and didn't have any comfort issues with the sequins. I would definitely rent this one again!

This was way better than the standard LBD for a bachelorette party!
This dress fit fairly well - I ordered the large and medium, and ended up wearing the medium. I felt like the large just had too much extra fabric bunching when I tied on the belt, so the medium worked out better. I did have a little issue with the lining of the dress showing when I sat, but it wasn't too much of a problem.

Perfect dress for the bachelorette!
I wore the medium for my bachelorette party - it was a huge hit! The dress was a little tough to get on and off, but well worth it. I was concerned about it being too short, but it hit just above my knee, even with my long torso - I was able to wear a strapless bra with no problem as well! The lace wasn't in the best shape - there were a few snags and rips, but nothing too noticeable. I'd rent it again just for the compliments!
