Feminine but long for petite frame
I wore this frothy confection for a post-partum family photo shoot outdoors in late summer. It was perfect for hiding my post-baby (8 weeks) baby but still made me feel feminine and pretty. I styled it with a belt to add dimension to my waist and paired it with silver heels and a denim shirt.

Fun and feminine
I wore this for a spring/summer rehearsal dinner. I just loved it! The punchy corals and bright white were cheerful and really stood out from the crowd. The one drawback was that the bust was too big and I really had to stand up ultra straight and not slouch even a tiny bit (5'2'', 115 lbs, 32A) which makes for a rather uncomfortable time if you're doing that for more than a few hours. Fortunately, I wasn't - just cocktails and dinner. I felt like a Southern bell and it really showed off my shoulders and back, which were tan just then. I'd love to wear this again if I grew bigger boobs. Winner!

Frothy and fun
I wore this for lunch/cocktails while lounging at a resort. It was airy and flowy, and I loved the dreamy blue colors. The movement of the dress was amazing. But it is very see-through and runs very large up top. If you're a petite framed gal like me with a small chest, this is probably not your very best dress, but that said, for my casual evening with my husband at the resort, it worked great and it is very feminine.

Too long and too big overall
For my little frame (narrow shoulders, 32A, 115 lbs, 5'2''), there was just too much dress for me to wear. But I loved the color!

Felt like a princess
This airy flowy number was the hit of the wedding. I had ladies and men coming up to me and commenting on my awesome dress. It's a halter top with a super long ties, it's a chiffony/flowing material that billows out while you walk or dance or just move in the slightest. I felt super beautiful and elegant. For me, a small chested, short gal (5'2''/32A, 115 lbs), it ran a big large in the chest, waist and length. But I got away with it by pulling the straps super tight and tying them securely and wearing tall heels. Because of this, it was not the most comfortable dress in the world (oy, my neck!), but it was worth the 5-6 hours I wore it for the spring wedding. Rent this!

Sexy cut outs but midi length on shorties
I didn't end up wearing this dress but that's because I ran out of nights in Las Vegas. I loved the blue hue, and the cut outs were perfect on my 115 lb, 5'2'' frame. I could wear a regular bra. The length was midi, just FYI. You can't wear spanx if they come up high on your tummy. There isn't any compression, but the material is thick so it has a smoothing effect. I'd rent this one again.

Cozy and a bit casual
I wore this to a nice dinner out with friends. I love the creamy color and the long sleeves, exactly what I was looking for on a chilly spring evening. The side ruching is lovely and I loved the high neckline. I think the sleeves are going to be too small for a lot of gals, they were tight on me and I don't have large arms. I have narrow shoulders and the zero fit me fine, but I'd say if you have broader shoulders this is not your dress. I went with a casual look with a chunky necklace and flats, but you could definitely dress this up as well. I think it is a good winter dress. I'm 5'2'' and I found it pretty short on me -- maybe if I were less curvy in the caboose region it would hang longer.

Red hot pattern stands out in a crowd
I wore this dress to a fundraising party which called for cocktail attire. This dress was my favorite RTR rental so far, and that's saying something because I've rented quite a few now! The pattern is lively and fun, but not too crazy. The back pattern is cleverly devised to make your bum look great. The front pattern makes your rib cage look smaller. I loved this an alternative to the LBD for a party. It is tight, and not as thick as some of the scuba material dresses I've worn...I wore spanx. The neckline is high which I love because I'm small busted. The top felt a little roomier than the bottom, but that's usual for me. I wore my regular bra. Definitely wear this dress if you aren't super self-conscious about your tummy or bummy, because both are on display in this dress.

Sexy but classy!
I loved the side slit and the black and white was eye catching. I worn in Vegas for a night out. It was a little big on my 5'2'' 115 lbs. frame but it wasn't too bad. The slit was sexy. It's a midi length on shorties like me but I was okay with that, much shorter and that slit would have been unseemly!

Perfect chunky gold accessory
This a a set of two, just to be clear. They are not attached. Weighty and chunky, slightly Grecian. Loved, would rent again. Perfect for small forearms and wrists, they sort of clung about mid forearm.

Tons of compliments, perfect minty green
These are on the large size and a little heavy, but I'm an earrings and bracelets kind of gal, so I like 'em big. I wore these with a black and white number and some chunky gold bangles. They definitely made the outfit. Would love to rent again. These are on the formal side.

Form fitting, sleek and chic
I wore this dress to my high school reunion! The materials is nice and thick and the bold color blocking is very eye catching. I loved the cut of the shoulders, back, and neckline. At 5'2'' and 115 pounds on an athletic petite frame, it was form fitting but not too tight. It hit me right at the knee. The bottom of the dress might have been slightly stretched out, as it was a loose on the very bottom. The chest was also a bit stretched out so I pulled out a padded bra. I will definitely rent this one again. I'd say it's more of a summer dress than winter, but I think it would work year round. I wore chunky gold jewelry and flats to dress it down a bit. I felt sexy but classy all night.

Tight on legs, big on top
I liked dress alot! But not the fit. I wore another RTR that night. I'm 5'2'', 115 lbs, a and petite athletic build. I loved the cut of the higher waist and the peplum did not add bulk as I had feared, but like all BCBG's, this one is made for a girl with pencil thin legs I have a tiny waist so that worked, but the top was big on me, way big. It hit me right at the knee. Okay for shorties, but only if you have scrawny legs and big boobs! The 4 fit me the best. The lace was very worn on the 4, but the 2 looked okay. The 2 fit my top better but not my bottom. It wasn't too formal as I had feared. Totally doable for day or evening, date or fancy party.

Slimming and lbd with pizazz
Scuba material sucks you in and lifts:-) High neck like and long arms good for petite people. It was on the short side for me, came to mid-thigh, and I'm only 5'2''. Love the electric blue detail.

Fun little number for a baby shower
I loved the vibrant colors and the thick fabric with stretch. It was short, though, esp. if you have any bum or thighs. The bust is flattering for smaller chested gals. It shows your tummy, so keep that in mind! It felt fun and flirty on and my husband thought I looked hot!
