Beautiful print
I loved the print and the pockets. The dress did a good job holding in my tummy which is my problem area. My only complaint is that the dress is VERY hard to zipper so I had to size up in order to get the zipper closed, even though the larger size was a little too big in the chest and shoulders.

Not flattering on curves
Because the color is light/bright, I felt like every body flaw was visible. I didn't end up wearing this dress.

Too big on top
I liked the material on this dress, but the top was way way too big. I didn't end up wearing it.

Beautiful material, comfy fit, and pockets!
This runs a little big. I usually wear a 4 but the 2 fit with no problem. It's a little large in the chest. I wore with a strapless bra, but you could also go braless. Overall I was very happy with the dress - comfortable yet formal enough for a black tie wedding.

Classic color and material, great for an evening event
I wore this dress to an evening wedding when 20 weeks pregnant. I sized up to a 6, but probably could have gotten away with a 4 since the dress seems to run large. The sequin material was very nice - just a touch of bling without being over the top. I did end up using a cloth ribbon as a belt which helped, since the dress is a bit shapeless on its own. I would recommend either sizing down or using a belt, in order to make the dress a bit more form-fitting.

Lovely material, but challenging fit
This dress didn't fit quite right - it was big in the armpits (thereby inadvertently showing off my strapless bra) and shorter than I felt comfortable with (I'm 5'8"). I ended up wearing my backup dress instead.

Beautiful color and material, very flowy
This was a beautiful dress but was too large in the chest so I wasn't able to wear it. Probably better for a larger-chested gal.

Loved this unique dress
This dress is not cookie-cutter. It has a unique style - fitted at the bust with a full detailed skirt (though not poofy). I loved the look and the fit, and was super comfortable in this dress all night long. Also, loved the pockets! I got a bunch of compliments. Because it was very tight on top, I recommend sizing up if you have a large chest.

Avignon Dress

Very pretty material, needs a belt
The material was beautiful - loved the colors and the lace. But I felt that the waist looked unfinished. I tried on a green belt, but didn't have anything in my closet that was just right, so I ended up returning the dress. I think it would look good with a gold belt, or on someone who has a very skinny waist and doesn't mind drawing attention to that area!

Lots of poof!
The color and material were lovely, but the fit was unflattering to me - very form-fitting in the stomach and poofy at the bottom. Also, even though I'm tall (5'8") I found that the dress seemed too long. I ended up not wearing it.

Draped Dream Dress

Great for a summer event
I wore this to a casual outdoor dinner event on a 100-degree day, and it was great for the warm weather. The material turned out to be a little more casual than I expected, but it was fine for the occasion. My only complaint is that the top part of the dress is large - I had to use safety pins to tighten the halter to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions. Also, the back is too low to wear a bra. But overall I was very happy with the dress!

Material wasn't flattering
I didn't love this dress. The material just kind of hangs, and doesn't have any shape to it. I ended up wearing the other dress I had rented instead.

Great dress, very comfortable
I needed a long dress for a Muslim wedding, but wasn't looking for a black-tie-style "gown," so this dress was perfect. It was very comfortable and the adjustable straps helped ensure a snug fit on top regardless of chest size. Definitely a positive experience!

Great lightweight dress for a hot summer wedding
I wore this to a wedding in June where the temperature was about 100 degrees. This dress was perfect because the material is very thin and light. The color was beautiful and I got several compliments and felt comfortable all day/evening. I was hoping to be able to wear a strapless bra, but that turned out not to be the case as the V is very deep in the front. But I ended up going with no bra and it was fine. All in all, was very happy with this dress and would definitely wear again!

Beautiful material, looked great for a summer wedding!
This dress was gorgeous - sexy without being too revealing. It was a little short, but I didn't mind that for a hot summer day. The fit was great for someone with a smaller chest - it was tight on top but had plenty of room in the hips. I loved this dress and would happily wear again!

Lovely material and color, but too big
I usually wear a 2 or a 4. I read the reviews on this dress and decided to rent the 2, but it was still way too big, especially on top, so I didn't end up wearing it. This dress is lovely, and I'm sure would look great on someone with a larger chest.

Beautiful summer dress
This dress was a great color, and a very comfortable fit. I wore it to my husband's college reunion and got lots of compliments! Be warned that it's a little short (so maybe wouldn't be great for a more conservative occasion). All in all I loved this dress, and wish I owned it!

Looked great!
It's very tight-fitting, so only wear it if you're comfortable showing off your curves. That said, the material is stretchy, so it was very comfortable. Definitely got compliments while wearing this dress!

Snug, but very cute
I wore this dress to a wedding and was very happy with it - the color is beautiful and the shape is unique. I rented a 2 and a 4, and the 4 was a little snug on me but I was able to wear it anyway.

Not as flattering as I'd hoped
The material is beautiful, but the shape of the dress is not as flattering as I'd hoped - it created rolls in all the wrong places. I ended up wearing my backup dress instead.

Cute, fun dress for a night out.

Loved this dress and got a ton of compliments from total strangers. I wore it to a summer evening wedding paired with pearls and nude shoes. It does run a bit large though, so I had to use some double-stick tape to keep it in place. I would have gotten a 2 rather than a 4 if I could do it over again. Was still very happy with it though.

This dress looked fantastic on me, and I got TONS of compliments. Was very very happy with this rental. One warning though: I have very narrow hips and was still barely able to get the dress on. I would recommend this only for people who have a "straight & narrow" body type. Definitely not good for anyone with a bit of a booty.

I do not recommend this dress. It is very large in the chest, so you need a seriously large bust to make it work. Similar to some of the other reviewers, I also received this dress without the accompanying belt. I did not wear the dress.

Super hot and very flattering
This dress was very flattering to a small chest (I'm a 34B) and also very comfortable because of the loose fitting skirt. The high waist also creates the illusion of super-long legs. I wore it in Vegas on a Friday night and loved it!

Better for curvier girls
I'm tall and relatively small-chested and this dress didn't fit me at all. Even the size 2 was way too big on my boobs and the dress was too short to wear. I think the dress would look hot on a shorter, curvier gal.

This dress fit like a glove and was super sexy and comfortable. The interior lining is very tight and works almost like spanx. Overall I was very happy with the dress and would definitely wear again!

Loved this dress! Very comfortable and perfect for a "dressy casual" summer rehearsal dinner. I'd say it runs a tad large, so if you're in between sizes, consider the smaller one.

I wore this dress for New Years Eve and it looked fantastic. Beware that it definitely runs small - I normally wear a 4, but even the 6 was so tight I could barely breathe! At least I looked good though. :)
