Fun but tight arms
I rented this dress for a lunch date with my husband at a 3-Michelin Star restaurant in Napa. I loved that this dress was casual enough for daytime but still look nice enough for a fancy restaurant. I rented this dress in both a 44 and 46 given some of the reviews regarding the arm hole size. If you have muscles on your arms, this dress will be an issue. I lift and crossfit so my arms are pretty developed. Both dresses fit, but I went with the 46 even though it was kind of too big because the 44 was too restricting on my bicep when I move my arms. I still loved wearing this dress and was super comfortable in it, especially for a 3 hour meal. My husband, on the other hand, did not like this dress one bit and thought I looked like I was wearing a tent.

HUGE but super cute!
I usually wear a medium but rented the small and xs based on the reviews. I ended up wearing the XS! I rented this for my birthday dinner. This was a super cute dress and I didn't feel like I was overdressed (the restaurant was more business casual dress code).

Gorgeous classy dress
I rented this dress for my company's dinner event. I rented a 6 and an 8, and while the 6 fit great, my boobs were really "out there." Since this was a work event, I erred on the cautious side and went up to the 8. Even then the neckline is pretty low. I used a lot of fashion tape to keep the neckline against my skin. The heavy fabric of the dress just hugged my body and I felt great in this dress.

Perfect for a fancy dinner
I absolutely loved this dress! It was perfect for a fancy dinner since I felt dressed up without being too over-the-top and showing too much skin.

Super cute and fun!
I followed all the other reviewers' recommendations to go down a size, and the small fit great! It is super short on me though! I wore the dress with flats and it was actually super cute (which generally doesn't happen with me since I have short legs).

Birthday dress!
I rented this dress for my birthday dinner at an upscale restaurant. It's a pale grey with white lace details on top with tulle just peeking out on the bottom. The 6 fits well, but this dress has zero give, so it was fairly snug around my belly after dinner. The bodice is structured so I didn't have to worry about the dress sliding down.

Pretty bracelet
This was what came when I added the Mystery Bling to my dress rental. It was a pretty classic bracelet, but I didn't feel like it added much to my dress at all. I think this is a great piece if you want to add some bling without going overboard.

Perfect for my company party
This was perfect for my company party, which was a black-tie optional event. It bridged the gap between a cocktail dress and a full length gown ( which are what almost everyone else wore) so it also made me stand out at the party. The length was perfect for me with 3 inch heels on, just hovering over the floor. The dress has no give whatsoever, so I was feeling a wee bit snug in the stomach after dinner and drinks and more drinks. Another perk are the pockets!! I'm a total dork and looove pockets! All in all, I'm totally happy I went with this dress. I would love to wear this again if I get the chance.

Pretty but a bit tight
I rented this for my anniversary dinner and at the time, I was between a size 6 and 8. I got both of those sizes, and ended up with the 8. But even the 8 was tight around my ribs. Granted, I do have a wide rib cage, but this dress is definitely runs a bit smaller than others.

Totally worth it
I got the Pro during my first rental and I'm already on my next rental 3 weeks later. So glad I decided on this because I'll be well on my way on getting my money's worth.

Very pretty and feminine
I rented this for a wedding and it was fabulous. I usually run between a 6 and an 8 (big 6 to small 8 at the moment) and they only had the 8 available for the time I needed it. The 8 fit fine, but it was a bit loose from the waist up. Obviously it wasn't so loose that I couldn't wear it, but in a lot of the close up photos you can see that the dress is a bit loose on me. It would have been nice to see how the 6 might have fit. Despite all of that, I LOVED wearing the dress! All the tulle made me feel super girlie and it works so well with a wedding. I received a lot of compliments on the dress, even from strangers at the hotel I was staying at. Be careful renting it since you'll probably want to keep it!

Classy dress
This was actually the back-up dress I rented for a wedding. Both dresses fit so I ended up wearing this to dinner with my boyfriend to dinner on the night prior. The lace was actually made of a much heavier fabric than I expected and that actually made it more comfortable. I'm kind of between a 6 and 8 (high end of 6 and low end of 8 at the moment) and the 8 fit great. The only issue I had was that when I had the dress on, the lining underneath ends up longer than the lace part (you can kind of see that in the picture). I have no clue why that was happening since it's fine on the hanger. It's a great dress to wear when you want to look nice but not have all your bits hanging out.
