Beautiful ombré
My favorite brand! This one was true to size but on the snug side for large bust. Pictures say it all. Rent without hesitation!

Love the color scheme!
Rented for my mom-- worn to a very chill outdoor birthday get together. Very comfortable and flattering. Good at hiding trouble areas and great for large busts. Would recommend.

Beautiful, lace dress!
I have coveted this dress for almost a year and finally decided to wear it to my holiday party for work. I neglected to read the fit and size notes (best for A-C bra sizes). But with some help from a safety pin, I was able to make it appear as if it was an open back design and it came out beautifully! No one noticed the difference and I received plenty of compliments.
Green Lace Cocktail Dress
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 173lbs
Bust: 36G
Plenty of compliments. A lovely pattern in a sea of navy and black.
I loved this dress! I don't typically rent the same dress twice but I absolutely loved how this made me feel and would give it another go. The only noticeable negative was that my arms wouldn't comfortably go straight above my head but it's not even worth losing a star. The best Marchesa Notte dress I've rented thus far (it was my 4th)! If you're even a little tempted, get it!
Red Floral Lace Dress

Flowy and long
I'm about 5'5" and I wore two inch heels so walking was fine, navigating the stairs was a little tricky. I received many compliments and looooved this dress. I had to tape my boobs up AND in or risk exposure when moving around too much. Great pick for almost any daytime event!
White Daphne Dress
Cleobella
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 182lbs
Bust: 36G
Figure Flattering
Pros: Beautiful, thick and vibrant lace. Photographed well. Cons: I never knew that boning could break but by the time I got to the venue the boning in the front of my dress popped out through the lace. Also as is the case with the other Marchesa dresses I've rented, the zipper is stubborn around the waist area. Seems like cheap zippers with luxury fabric.
Red Laced Cocktail Dress
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: 16R
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 182lbs
Bust: 36G
Hints of fuchsia with a popping red!
Loved this dress. Wore it to church for Easter and then to my family's house for dinner. I received so many compliments. The photos do not do the dress justice. The hint of pink in this garment really brought it to life for me. If I was a repeat wearer, I would rent again. Absolutely recommend! I have no idea how I'll top this for my next rental.
Red Lace Tea Length Dress
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: 16R
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 184lbs
Bust: 36G
Wanted to love, but the chest area is poorly designed.
I wanted to love this dress so much. Loved the color for a summer wedding but even with my boobs taped in place, the chest area was an exposure waiting to happen. Gives a nice shape if you have narrow hips or are straight up and down.
Yellow Marilyn Dress
allison parris
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 184lbs
Bust: 36G
Great cleavage, comfortable fit
I loved this dress as soon as I saw it. Wore to a yellow and red themed 90th birthday party where I received plenty of compliments. It's a stretchy fabric so if you're in between sizes and not too round in the middle, go with your smaller size.
Minna Dress
Parker
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 184lbs

Hugs curves, gives a nice shape/structure
Had a just right fit even after eating a full meal. Beautiful dress that I would've loved to keep for longer. No stretch so if you're in between sizes, go up.

Canary Queen
This dress was beautiful! It did make me wish I had fuller hips and maybe two more inches in height to fill it out better. Great material, perfect with a strapless bra, sexy fit.
