So versatile -- Work to Mardi Gras ball to parade!
These are surprisingly light, but after 16+ hours I was ready to take them off (true for anything!) the wire backs needed to be bent a little tighter--one slipped off my ear a few times when I tilted my head. Could have easily added rubber backs to avoid but they were fine after adjusting. Wore for almost 4 days straight other than sleeping and almost considered keeping these!

Gorgeous but not for every body style.
I am nearly always a 10 in formals and the 8 fit me as described, concealing problem areas but overall the style was a unflattering on a shorter frame. I had to pin the neckline a little bit otherwise the slit would have exposed all the way to the spanx across my stomach. I jokingly told my husband that I looked like a potato sack about to lose a few potatoes! The dress is stunning, comfortable and great on anyone taller, But for me everything just looked a little too slouchy.

Comfortable and not to revealing for busty frame
loved it with a skirt, jeans, black leggings, you name it! The colors and pattern are dreamy! Sometimes I have to size up in tops but this fit perfectly and I was please that there was nothing too snug in the busy or arms which is often my problem. Back is sheer so I wore a nude tank underneath. Only problem was the front hem started to roll a little which made a visible Line/bump when I tucked it into a more fitted skirt. Tried to iron out but kept rolling.

Fabulous material, interesting sleeve detail, not my favorite of all the options from this brand
This was my third rental from this brand in four weeks and while the size and material was true to what I love, this one was a little underwhelming in person. I am very busty up top DDD and I think the shoulder ruffles just added more visual weight than was flattering with so much cleavage showing already. Something about all that going on up top but I feel like I looked shorter and a little heavier in pictures than other slim strap or one shoulder pieces from this brand. As always, size down.

Much larger in the leg, may be too straight and cropped for shorter girls
I thought these would be a skinnier fit but the extra high waist gave my shorter frame an unflattering midsection. I have another pair of these jeans in a size down but lower cut and those fit well while these seemed to get more snug in the waist as the evening went on and the legs (behind the knees) stretched out too much for a second wear without washing. Had planned to keep these a couple weeks and returned after the weekend to swap out for a slimmer, lower waist style.

Lightweight from Work to Mardi Gras ball to crawfish boil!
I couldn't believe for how big these are that they are so light weight! I wore them for nearly 15 hours all day at work and then all evening for a Mardi Gras ball and was completely comfortable. They transition easily between jeans and a cute top to formalwear. Tons of compliments will definitely rent these again.

Pop of color for black work outfit!
These were a lot more comfortable than I expected for their size -- not too heavy and they didn't turn awkwardly size ways on my ears like others sometime do. I have a shorter neckline and they were long but not too long. Would def rent again to wear for a formal event knowing I could double up wearing daytime!

Snug in the waist and lower cut than expected
I wanted to wear this to work but it was snug across the bust and wait while being a little blousier than I expected elsewhere. Would be great on a different t body shape -- the fabric is so cute and very nice covered buttons. I also liked that there was an extra snap by the waist button to keep it from coming undone.

Great length and so comfy with no zipper!
I was really surprised to discover there wasn't a zipper but with the heavy fabric this pull on still fit beautifully hugging all the right curves and smoothing others. The length was awesome on me at 5'3" I was worried I'd have to wear sky high heels and a 3" stiletto worked just fine!
Kimina Gown

Forgiving and flattering fit for busty without being too much!
Higher cut on the neck line was unexpectedly comfortable -- I'm used to sweetheart necklines hitting mid boob and this kept me perfectly tucked in! One shoulder, Nicky weighted drape and color all combine to be very forgiving and the right mix of sexy and formal!
