Great vaca outfit!!
This romper is light and airy. No need for spanx or shapewear. Very flattering. Great length. Very flowy. Easy to get on and off by yourself (for a romper). Perfect for a beach vacation. Cute with white sneakers for day look and wedges with crop jean jacket for the night look. I'm buying it at this price!!! I need this to always live in my closet.

Sleek, sophisticated and sexy all in one!
I wore this dress for a formal event I was speaking at in the early spring. It was a space themed event so it worked perfect with the black velvet and gold sequins. It's very forgiving,stretchy material. Side zip I could do myself. I had to size down to a 12L. Usually a 14R. The length was perfect with the smaller size. I don't love my arms but showing one felt ok. Great dress! I didn't even need shape wear. Very flattering. Will rent again.

Doesn't fit a cell phone
Maybe I shouldn't be taking my phone to a formal event, but this clutch doesn't even fit one so I didn't use it. Petty piece....If you want to bring keys, credit card, lipstick only.

Very hard to zip but very beautiful in person
I loved this dress. It's so elegant and chic. Unfortunately I went with another option. I just felt too bare on top since I'm more top heavy. The fabric was very nice. It really was a lovey dress. It runs small. I'm a 14 and the 16 was snug. But more than that it is very hard to zip because of the fabric. So I didn't get to wear this one. I know many others will rent, love and look beautiful. Just not for those of us with big boobies.

Very flattering and fun!
I rented this for my nephews baptism and a trip to Hawaii. It was perfect for both. I did wear a cropped jean jacket with it for the cooler night and that looked great too. I would suggest wearing a nude color shapewear under it. There is not much to it and it's very see through. It runs a little small. I am a True 14 and the 16 was just right. It hugs you in all the right places but it's not super forgiving near the weird side front zipper. unique dress and good if you don't love your arms.

Very cute and flattering for a date night. Hard to get on and off!!!!
I got so many compliments on this outfit. It's adorable for a nice date night or wedding. Very flirty and fun without being too revealing. Great to show off those legs. It makes them look great. Be warned!!! Getting this outfit on and off was very difficult. I am not being dramatic. It was a challenge. So bathroom trips were few and far between the night I wore this one. Just remember that when renting rompers. ;)

Cute but not functional
This shirt is adorable. I got it for a trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, it just didn't work. One of the sleeves kept falling off my shoulder (seemed to be stretched on one side) and it just wasn't designed for women with larger busts. Almost came up to my belly button. With a high waisted short it was fine but the sleeve really bothered me in the 10 mins I had it on so it didn't make it to the luau. Had to improvise with something else. It could have been an off the shoulder look maybe...

I looked like a giant cupcake.
There is too much material on this dress or something. It make you looks like you have huge hips and ass even if you don't. This style usually flatters me, but this dress needs a little less. I tried belting it at the waist. It looked better but not great. I didn't end up wearing it and I was really disappointed. Beautiful color and the netting detail adds some texture too.

Baby shower chic
I got so many compliments on this dress at a baby shower I was hosting over the weekend. It allowed me to move without showing too much, but it was elegant and hugged me in all the right places. Loved it!!!

This dress was the star of the show on the Yellow Brick Road and in The Emerald City.
This dress was so comfy and flattering. I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night. I felt like a movie star in it. So many compliments. I'm 5'5" and the 16R was a little long in the back, so I had to hold it up a little to walk to make sure my heals didn't get caught in the lining. The arm is a little small so it cut into my armpit slightly at the beginning, but didn't bother me after the first few minutes. The slit is perfect. Not too much. It's a great dress for bigger busted ladies too. No problems with the fit there. It was flattering in the tummy and booty area. It really accentuated all the right areas. It you need a show stopped in this beautiful emerald color, this is your dress. I'm a true 14 in most clothes but sized up for this one. The 16 fit like a glove.

Either too small or too big
While this dress is very beautiful I ordered two sizes. The XL was wayyyyyy too short and tight. My next size up was wayyyyy too big. It hung off me at midsection, not in a good way. And the arms were way too long/big. The ruched side also looked like it was coming out on one side. Unfortunately, I could not wear either one of these. Lucky for me, I ordered a back up style too.

I wore this dress to a Roaring 20's Gala. I used accessories to make it a little more 20's.
The dress is true to size and maybe even a little bit big. It is very short! I am 5'5" so I don't usually have that problem. I read it in the reviews, but I didn't think it would be that bad on me. I wore black fishnets with it that were pretty thick so it wasn't so bad, but I didn't dance. I probably would not dance in this dress for fear that my whole butt might show at some point if I lift my arms. It was warm and comfy. While everyone else was freezing in their sleeveless gowns I was very cozy. It's a beautiful dress. I would rent it again...only if it came in a longer version.
