Fun and sexy

Wore this on a date night with my fiancé to see a burlesque performance. It was very comfortable - I probably could have sized down to make it more formal fitting

With a tank top underneath this was a beautiful dress for work. Lots of compliments. You can never go wrong with DVF - she actually seems to enjoy dressing real women's' bodies!

I really liked the length of this and it didn't make my larger bust line look too frumpy as shirts of this style often do!

I wore this to an outdoor weekend girls brunch and received a lot of compliments on the beautiful saturated buttercup yellow color. I thought the cut was not terribly flattering on my busty pear shape but it wasn't so awful it was a no-wear

Nice color and unique cut

I wore this dress twice - once for lunch with a former work colleague and birthday happy hour. It's a very simple dress made dressy by the lovely forest green color and the sleeves. It was slightly too tight so I would likely not rent it again but it was definitely worth one try

Absolutely stunning

I wore this dress twice - for my 40th birthday dinner at a high end DC restaurant. I was actually stopped in the street twice by people telling me I looked amazing. I wore it again for the first episode of a new TV show I'm anchoring and the camera crew complimented the stunning color and detail. Seriously considering buying this

I wore this on a winery trip and all the women said I looked like I was ready for a photo shoot. Then I wore this again for dinner meeting my boyfriend's parents for the first time. This is a very pretty modest dress

Fabulous dress that I will definitely order again - it was very flattering for my pear shape and I even felt comfortable showing my arms with the small sleeves. Unfortunately, I misread the dress code for my event and needed a floor-length gown. This will will be a go-to dress for wedding, etc.

Impressed my boyfriend at a masquerade ball - THE perfect outfit. Made me feel amazing!

I rarely find a dress that highlights my assets, hides my flaws and makes me feel amazing. This dress does all of those things and is very comfortable to wear. The 8 fit me like a glove but still allowed movement.

I think I'm going to really love this dress - impeccable construction that highlights my figure!

I have a very broad back so I need a slightly larger size to get the zipper up - otherwise this looks lovely and slims my wide hips.
