Gorgeous!

Loved it! Just a touch long, but I could have made it perfect with a bit of a platform to my heel. Has a hint of a tail/train in the back. Snug in the bust, but comfortable. The front v does not have a lining, but doesn't look too sheer or indecent in person. Actually saw another woman with the same dress at my event, but it looked different on each of us (she was taller and less curvy). Paired very well with the clutch that came as my mystery bling (Inge Christopher Corsica Scale Clutch, only order if you travel very light!).

a gorgeous, but tiny, clutch

It's a beautiful bag, but I couldn't use it. It came as my mystery bling, and looked great with the Vera Wang "Noir Daffodil Gown" I wore, kudos to the staff for the pick. But I would not have picked it myself, based on the other reviews. It could barely hold my phone (out of the protective case) and a slim lipstick. While the outside dimensions are decent, the insides is rigid and only about half as deep as expected, and there is no inner pocket. With no room for a slim wallet/card holder I didn't want to worry about credit cards or money falling out.

Not bad

This came as a replacement because the second dress I rented was unavailable. It was a close match (kudos to the style staff for picking a substitute), but the shoulder and bust seams just didn't quite lay flat. The black dress was just a safe second choice, and I ended up wearing a bold red dress instead.

Gorgeous color

Really liked this dress. First time I'd worn such a bright color, and it was great. Fit well and wasn't too clingy. Ruffles on the top strap looked well pressed and was not in the way, and the slight train was a nice touch.

So-so

Rented to wear to a casual rehearsal dinner and drinks on the beach. It has a great color and pattern, but is see through even with the lining that shows out the bottom. Also ran large, so I didn't wear it.

So fun!

Wore this to a holiday/cocktail party and was so pleased - the dress made me feel festive just putting it on! The fabric is layered and tight enough at the bust to go without a bra. I'd add some double sided tape at the top hem just to be safe, as it started to slip by the end of the night. Wore it with strappy black heels and similiar necklace with black accents.

Loved this dress! It does run a bit snug under the bust at the green band. I wear a 32C and was able to wear the 38 (size 2), but might have been more comfortable in the 40, if it would have been available. Warning - there is no liner and the dress is sheer, so I had to wear a slip and v-neck slip top. Wore it to a beach-side afternoon wedding and got tons of compliments (including from the bride). Will rent this one again!

Ehh

Not a bad dress, but was my back-up and I didn't wear it. Dress comes in at the bottom hem, and was a bit tricky to fit over my hips, while bust was a bit roomy. Best for busty but otherwise slim renters - and definitely not for pear shapes. A somewhat flat green color too.

Understated but lovely

Wore this to a graduation ball and really liked it. I had to rent a size up since the 2 was taken so it was a little big, but my regular size would have been perfect. Dress was a touch long with 3.5" heels but looked beautiful and flowy. The color is a dark charcoal/midnight blue and isn't at all showy, but the style makes the dress stand out. The boning is metal and poked through the lining in a few places (check carefully before putting it on!), but the bodice offered enough support that bra was not needed, and likely would have shown anyway.

This dress does run just a bit small, and since it doesn't stretch at all, size up for a backup. I didn't have an issue with a gap at the underarm, but the dress was plenty snug. Fabric is a bit greyer in person. I wore it to a classy but relatively low-key wedding in Las Vegas with metallic shoes. Got tons of compliments and would rent it again.

Even better in person

Had second thoughts after I ordered this dress, thinking it might not be nice enough for my event. It was stunning in person! Great dark blue color, which I paired with pewter/dark silver 3" heels. Wore the 2R as the 4R was a little loose and notably longer. Fabric is slinky, so choose undergarments carefully, and tape down the garment straps. Will likely rent this again.

understated but nice

Pretty, but not a stand out pair. A nice size for a bolder accessory, but not sparkly. Fairly heavy if you aren't used to larger earrings.

Loved it!

Wore this to opening night at a theater (a play, not a movie!), and it was great! Would not recommend it to someone tall, as sitting down or walking fast was a bit tricky because of the front slit on the dress. Forgiving fabric and cut, but no way to wear a bra so I wore petal cups for modesty.
