I carry my weight in my tummy, for the most part.

It really doesn’t help me to know that a 5’4″ person who wears a size 6 looked good in it when I am 5’10 and wear a 16. Most importantly, many share their measurements, so I could focus on other tall people who are around my size. Previous renters review the overall dress, the condition it arrived in (was it missing a belt, etc), what they had to do to modify it to work, etc. Once I finished searching, I used the reviews to narrow things down. I had a friend looking with me to encourage me to be open to different styles. For once I am glad I am not an 8 – there would have been a lot to look through. Their search works well, and, being a bigger size, there were plenty of choices (several dozen), but not an overwhelming number. I was able, very quickly, to find the right dress. I was willing to spend up to $200 to buy a dress if I thought I would use it again, but after shopping, I didn’t find anything that fit the bill. I got the Badgley Mischka Putting On the Glitz gown. The dresses arrive in a box, inside a garment bag, with a prepaid bag mailer for returns. You can also get a free backup size when you order. If it doesn’t work, you can call them and they will overnight you something else. I had mine arrive on Thursday for a Saturday wedding and mailed it back Sunday.
