Absolutely love it
Absolutely love this dress! I was not black-tie ready, but this dress forgave all the mistakes. I normally rent the longs but at 5 foot 5 1/2 with 4 inch heels, this dress was a little too long. I just picked up the dress when walking. So if you are 5'6" or shorter, rent the regular. I wear a size 10 in pants and with dresses with a back zipper, I always go up to a 12 or 14. The 14 fit, so I didn't try on the 12. I am thick in the middle and I feel like the dress was quite forgiving. It really shows off all your curves!

Such an easy dress to wear...and sexy.
The dress definitely held me in where I needed it, and I'm thick in the middle so I felt like it helped hide my stomach pooch. It definitely draws attention to the girls-so if that's your asset, go for this dress. I have natural 36D's, my bra was not padded or push-up but the design of the dress lifts you up. This can easily be worn with a racer back bra. The length of the dress helps balance out the major cleavage and deep slit. The dress is very comfortable, and easy to dance in. I absolutely loved it. I will definitely rent it again.

Ridiculously sexy dress
This dress was incredibly sexy. You would either have to go braless or wear with a deep plunging bra. There is absolutely no give in the dress, and even the arms were really tight-and I have thin arms. The large will probably only fit up to a size 12, not any bigger. My fiancé absolutely loved the dress and it hugged me in all the right places. I wore it for my 50th birthday dinner. I cannot wait to rent it again. This was sexy at its best. You will definitely need to bring your confidence when wearing this dress. It is a showstopper.

Subtle sexy
This dress is gorgeous and the fabric is forgiving BUT it runs very small. It did not fit me and I would suggest ordering one size up as your first choice, two sizes up for your backup size. That said, even though it was too tight it is a sexy fit, acts like Spanx, and is extremely forgiving. It really does smooth you out and shows off your curves.

Easy to wear
I would say this dress runs true to size. I was looking for something to hide the holiday weight gain around the middle and still be a little edgy. This dress did not disappoint. It does not photograph as well as it looks in person. It is more flowy in person than it appears in the picture. Because of that, in person it truly does not give you that "expecting" look. The material of the dress feels like a flannel. I didn't button the top behind the neck because it would have been too tight. You need to wear a racer strap bra with this. Because it shows arms and a lot of leg, and more cleavage in person than the pics show, it really is flattering even with the loose midsection. I am 5 5 1/2 and wear either a 10 or 12 and the large fit perfectly. I think a nude heel with this would be a great look.

Sexy and comfortable
I loved this dress. I forgot to take a pic after I did hair, makeup & jewelry. This was taken when I was just trying it on. I wore a big cuff and chandelier earrings. This dress held my stomach in and was really comfortable. Definitely hides any belly issues you may have. The material was substantial enough that it really smoothed me out. I would rent this again and wear with a high heeled sandal. It needs to be worn with a strapless bra. It is short...but I liked that about it. I wear a 10 in pants, 10 in dresses without a zipper, 12 in dresses if they have a back zipper, as I have a broad back and rib cage. The large fit perfectly.

Although I couldn't wear it, it would have been great with a statement necklace.
Normally I am a large in tops but because of all the reviews saying it runs so big, I ordered the medium with the large as my backup size. Unfortunately the backup size was not available. This shirt was sooooo tight across my chest, I really find it hard to believe so many people say it runs large. I am a 36D and have a broad back, so maybe that's what it was. It is a great quality.

Sexy snug fit that made the girls look great!
Although I wear a size 10 in jeans and pants, anything with a zipper I need to go up to a size 12. This dress was sent to me as a replacement because the dress I ordered was too small, so I only received the size 14 and it fit well. I have a broad back, big rib cage, and a little busty so I am glad they sent the 14. It was such a flattering fit. I didn't take a great pic but I don't have much of a waist and it made me look like I did. I would definitely rent this again.
