The perfect dress for a black-tie Parisian affair

I rented this for a Parisian-themed black tie event at an art museum, and it could not have been more perfect. It echoed my date's tux well with the bow detail and needed few accessories to stand out. It fit like a glove (that said, had I gained even a couple of pounds, it might not have fit), and I got so many compliments. The dress is structured really well--I never had to worry about pulling it up. The only negative is that it was a tad long for my 5'6" height, and I needed to pick it up when I walked to avoid stepping on it.

Pretty but runs small

This dress is very pretty in person, and I will echo the previous reviews that it is more grey than white as in the picture. My concerns that this might be too white for a wedding were allayed. Unfortunately, the dress was too small in the ribs and the bust for me to wear. I always wear a size 2 in BCBG and this is the first time I haven't fit in one. I don't have a particularly large bust (34B), and it still wouldn't zip.

Memorable Birthday Dress!

I rented this dress for my 25th birthday. The dress is gorgeous, flashy, and very flattering--I got a ton of compliments. It is hard to tell from the picture of the model, but the dress has very intricate beadwork all over. It fits with a wrap-style, rather than a zipper, which I prefer because it was fitted around the waist but didn't feel constricted in the hips. The dress is short, so be weary that the tulip-type hem could be more revealing than expected. It was also a bit tight in the forearms of the dress, but otherwise was a great fit overall. I would definitely rent it again!

Gorgeous color and perfect for a summer party

First off, the dress is a beautiful bright yellow (not as soft as it appears on the model). The dress does run large and was a little baggy on top. I ended up cinching it with a preppy striped belt. I got several compliments during the evening. It is a very flattering dress, but not a statement-maker.

Disappointing

I was disappointed by the fit and fabric of this dress. The material is very thing and has a LOT of stretch (but not the kind that sucks you in). It showed my panty lines and didn't look great without a bra because the top of the dress provides no support. The color was very pretty though.

Way to short

I usually wear between a 2 and a 4, and almost always a small. I don't think I could even fit in the size large of this dress. The skirt was way too short and tight, and the top would not zip over my petite bust. The color is also not as pink as it appears in the photo but more of a nude. Unless you're tan or have a darker complexion, the color will wash you out.

Stand out dress

The dress is a beautiful, flashy orange-red. It was perfect for the art-themed event I attended. My only complaint was that the skirt had no stretch so it was not the most comfortable dress to dance in. It was, however, very flattering and a bit longer than it appears on the model.

Casual Elegance

I rented this for an inauguration after party. The dress is formal enough for black tie, but is comfortable enough to go out in afterwards. What I loved about this dress is that it is very easy to wear--I felt chic without feeling like I was overdoing it. The color is especially beautiful for a winter affair. The fabric is thick with stretch and hugged my curves just right.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The wrap waist is very flattering and the little ruffle is both sexy and elegant. I wore this dress to a cocktail fundraiser and to a wedding. I usually wear an extra-small to small and got the small which fit perfectly.

I got so many compliments on this dress. I usually wear between a size 2-4 and got the size 2, which fit perfectly. My only complaint is the leg opening was a little snug. The color though is beautiful and the shape gives you a waist and nice hourglass look.

I usually wear a 2 or 4 and got the 4. First off, the dress was way to short. The front opening when you sit down barely covers certain areas that need to be covered. Also the waist of the dress sits above the natural waist and made me look like I barely had a torso. I would only recommend this dress for someone very petite without a lot of curves.

This dress looked so cute on the website and the hanger. Unfortunately, if you have hips and a small waist, this isn't the dress for you. I rented both the 2 and the 4. The 2 was way too short (barely covered. The length of the 4 was perfect, but it was really baggy in the waist and had no shape. Really wanted to love this dress but the lack of stretch in the fabric doesn't allow it to mold to your body type.
