Cute, but just ok overall
This was a pretty cute dress on the hanger, but the fit was off. The straps were WAY too long. Maybe it would be ok on someone taller, but on my 5'1", size 8, 36D body, I had to secure the straps with a hair tie. This actually worked very well in the end: I crisscrossed the straps behind my neck, as if it was a halter and looped an elastic hair tie around the straps. The length was perfect for me, but might be short on someone taller. The black sides made the rest of the dress resemble an apron and this was heightened by the straps on top. A couple of positives: The dress was VERY comfortable. Reminded me of play clothes when we were kids. Also, POCKETS - who can hate pockets? I'd never rent this dress again because it just didn't flatter me, BUT it might be really cute on someone taller and/or with a smaller frame.

A bold choice, but sexy!
This dress is tight, but somewhat forgiving. The medium was too tight and my belly was protruding. In the large, I felt more comfortable and it wasn't too long either. I'm 5'1", so it's hard to go up in size without a dress going from short and sassy to long and frumpy. This dress was great though. I didn't need a bra either. The arms were a little tight, but I have large arms, so this may not be an issue for everyone. I'm pretty stalky, so at some angles, I felt like a sausage in its casing, but my husband thought I was nuts because he said I looked really nice the entire night, even after eating a heavy dinner. I give this dress 4 stars instead of 5 because it's a bit on the heavy side, especially for the summer. Thankfully, we were indoors most of the time, so I didn't sweat. Do NOT attempt to wear this in the heat though. It's probably the perfect late fall/early spring dress.

Nude lace really caught my husband's eye!
It is very important that you go up at least one size for this dress. It is very tight, but eventually gives after some wear to allow for mobility. I am a true 8 and the 10 was good, but tight. All night, I wondered how different the 12 would be, but it wasn't available, so it doesn't matter. I loved how I looked and felt, so I was very happy with the rental. 4 stars instead of 5 because of the tightness; getting in and out of the car was a bit of a mission!

Lace At Its Best Dress
Haute Hippie

Sexy!
Yes, this dress started out pretty snug, but even just a few minutes after putting it on, I could zip it up unassisted and move around freely. It wound up being very comfortable and so sexy! It hugged my curves in a very flattering away and it was pretty forgiving with problem areas. I didn't need a bra nor did I need spanx. A tip though: while it was comfortable, it was warm and I was at an outdoor wedding on a beautiful day. I cooled off eventually, but I'd say this dress might be better suited for a Fall or early Spring event. A great choice though; you won't be disappointed!

Comfortable and sexy!
This dress was comfortable and sexy! I wore it on Valentine's day and my husband liked it very much. The only issue, and it's not even that much of an issue, was that you really can't wear a strapless bra with the dress. Sure, you can get one of those sticky bras that are backless, but ehh, they're not that effective. I relied on my own ability to hold the dress up and it was just ok. The girls were a little lower than I would've wanted, but as a whole, the dress was great. The back was really sexy too. I wish I got a pic! I'm a size 8 and the 8 fit beautifully. True to size!

I was very happy with this dress! Sexy fit w/ pockets!
Boobalicious! This dress was great because it accentuated my bust, downplayed my hips and made my waist look tiny. I felt cute and flirty! I was a little worried about the length being too long (I'm only 5'2" and wear a size 8), but it was fine - hit just above the knee. My husband thought I looked very "Pin Up," which I thought was a great compliment.
