At first I was not sure if I liked the dress. The fit is a bit unusual, the bottom of the dress is very fitted, but stretchy. I would say almost a size S/M on bottom, but the shoulders are more a size L. I am a 32DD so I think that helped with the fit of the upper body, but even still I had to pin the shoulders to my bra straps. That bring said, once I fixed the shoulder issue, the dress fit absolutely perfectly, was a great length for an office party (slightly above knee, I am 5'2 and wore 2 1/2" heels) so it ended up being the perfect dress. I would highly recommend this dress especially of you are an hou-glass figure and/or larger on top and smaller on bottom. The ruching really slimmed my tummy area. I thought you could see the waistband of my nylons, but when I looked at photos later, you totally could not see them. Overall, I would definitely rent this dress again!

I wore this to a relative's Bar Mitzvah party, so I was concerned about wearing something stylish, but not super low-cut or ultra short. The material was substantial, the fit was flattering, especially in the tummy area. I think for an hour-glass figure it is especially flattering as it emphasizes the chest and waist and de-emphasizes the tummy. A few people mentioned the knot being in the wrong place, but I did not find this to be the case. Everything fell exactly where it should. I was able to wear a normal bra, which I like, and wore regular nylons, not Spanx. With a 3" heel, it came to about 2" above the knee. (I am 5'2 and wore a size M) I got the size S as back-up and didn't even try it, the M was perfect. This was my first RTRW and I was very pleased, I have my next rental already lined up.
