Great dress runs true to size
wanted to rent the 8, 10 but the 8 was booked for my wedding weekend, so i reserved the 10, 12. When my dressed arrived, i waited till i showered to try them on. When i put on the 10 it fit but reeked on BO.. at first i thought it was the fabric after being shipped in the plastic and it would air out.. so just to see the difference i tried on the 12.. The 12 didn't smell at all.. Although there wasn't much of a difference, in the sizes however the 12 top would fall down and i had to be mindful during the wedding.. but i could eat the 4 course meal and enjoy without a problem. The dress got tons and tons of compliments regardless of the size and was a huge hit in the sea of black... which i loved...

Comfortable, Fun Dress for Summer!
Great Dress! Got tons of compliments on it, I honestly don't think any of these pictures do it justice. I will say, i think i could have easily fit into the 8 (which i didn't have my back up was a 12-based on what the stylist thought would be best), but because of my wide ribcage and boobs, the 10 worked great, the 8 may have been a little tight as the dress doesn't have much stretch. However, the bottom was a little big and then bulged in odd places because of it. When i tried on the 12 i just SWAM in it, and although it was super comfortable, not attractive because it gave me ZER0 shape. I would totally rent this dress again, but with a different back up size. Ohh the top where the design is is surprisingly sheer so know that even with a nude bra, you will see it, depending on the look you are going for you could be more dramatic and add black or a different color and it looks surprisingly nice, but, as i was going to a party where it was more conservative, i opted for the nude, and my boyfriend even said it looked sexy but, like it was part of the dress..

Great Dress! Fun and Flirty!!
This was the perfect dress for the night. Wore it to a Bachelorette party, and it was not only a hit, it saved me. The material of the dress was exactly what the day called for. I was walking to meet up with the rest of the party at the Burlesque lesson ( the picture) when all of a sudden in NYC there was a total and complete downpour. I wasn't prepared with an umbrella and got soaked even after purchasing on the bottom of the dress got drenched the rain was coming down so hard and fast. but, within 10min of the rain stopping, the dress was completely dry, and looked perfect. I wish I could have said the same for my hair, but that's life. hahahaha... Plus the dress, although short, was comfortable and easy to move in. Really like the dress and couldn't have been happier to have been in it.

Super cute, light and Stunning
Got TONS of compliments on this dress. i just fell in love with it.. I will say, I find this designers dresses run small., However with me, i can wear between a 6-10 depending on dress and designer, so, i didn't really mind having to go up to a 12.. it's all about getting a comfortable fit (i have a very prominent rib cage). Got it for Brunch at a bachelorette party then wore it the rest of the day to meet another friend for a late lunch and my boyfriend for dinner.. I will say, if i rent again, i will remember to wear a bra, that's a bit lower cut, the top of my bra would show every now and then, but mostly because i wasn't sitting up straight. The dress was super flattering.. I just can't rave enough about it. Sadly, i wouldn't have even tried it, if it weren't for my styling session at Rent the Runway in Soho, because i tend to avoid all dresses that have yellow in them, but i'm truly in love with this dress and designer now. Really, women were stopping me on the street to ask me about the dress.
