Pretty, but odd fit
It has an odd fit. I normally wear a size 8. The medium was tight in the ribs, and I couldn't get it to button on the inside side of the wrap. The Large fit in the ribs, but there was way too much room in the under-bust area for a B cup and it bagged and looked very sloppy. The medium looked better, but I couldn't move my arms at all. You definitely need a cami or bandeau underneath unless you want to show everything off. Even so, I still thought it was pretty and I felt a little more dressed up than I normally am for work.

Encourages me to rent more!
I love PRO. I've found that it causes me to do more renting in order to take advantage of the savings, but I can't believe what a great deal it is. I hope they don't raise their prices in the future, because I'll probably keep renewing.

Larger than I thought, but still pretty nice.
This was probably not something I would have chosen to wear on my own, but since the model was wearing it with the dress I rented, I went for it. It felt a little bulky and large, almost like I was wearing mardi gras beads, but quieter.

Great fit, really stood out
I wore this to a family 50th anniversary party. It looked so amazing. The word "retro" was used a few times. I had a charity fundraiser the night before with a different group, so I got to wear it twice! It has a nice full skirt for dancing, but it didn't spin up too high. I thought the length worked well for this style. I posted a 2nd picture to show the length on me. I wore a strapless bra that had convertible straps, and I had them criss-cross in the back, otherwise they would have shown. One complaint: The size that I wore fit perfectly, but it had obviously been worn more than the backup size, and had been repaired at some point, so the hem didn't lay exactly straight, and the pleats weren't laying right either. The backup size still looked really nice, just way too big.

Heavy material
The fabric is a very heavy knit with some sparkle. I thought there might be some good swing to the skirt, but it's not as full as it looks in the photo, it's more A-line, and doesn't really flare out for dancing, and it's kind of heavy and warm for dancing as well. I normally wear an 8, and I got a Medium, and it was too tight.

Great for dancing, will rent again! Mom told me to buy it!
The skirt of this dress is nice and full and has a good hang to it, but if you plan on dancing, it's a good idea to wear dance briefs or "booty shorts" because they will be seen. The fabric is a heavy kind of spandex with exposed serged seams. There's good stretch to it, which made it SUPER comfortable to wear. I wore it for a Friday night dance and since I didn't have to return it until Monday, I wore it again to lunch with my grandparents. I wore a strapless/convertible bra with clear straps that I criss-crossed in the back. They probably didn't need to be clear since you couldn't see them anyway

Pretty material
I love the lace material, with pretty green shiny threads throughout. I didn't wear the dress because both sizes I ordered were too small. The black bust area didn't cover my bra very well, so my strapless bra was very visible underneath. The skirt was full, and the slip underneath was more straight, but not too tight to walk or dance, unless you're doing lunges in a Tango or Bolero.

Gorgeous
I loved the weight of this bracelet. It has brushed nickel metal with little inlaid crystals. I was actually more sad about returning the bracelet than I was about returning the dress.

I felt like a million bucks. A basic black with some style.
I got a lot of compliments in this dress. The fabric feels exquisite. I did wear a girdle underneath, that went from the ribs to the thighs because even though there are gathers in the fabric, I felt more comfortable with it. I'm 5'6" and the length was just above my knees.
