Absolutely gorgeous dress!

The dress was beautiful, very light. I wouldn't recommend it for a big busted or tall girl, like myself. I had to wear sandals, and was continuously pulling up my dress all night. Definitely made for a less curvy girl!

Top fit like a corset and helped the dress stay up, which was very flattering (shown in picture - I'm a 32 bust and wore a zero, and as I said, dress stayed up beautifully. Wore to a date function, hence the tie.) Bottom was gauzy and flowy, as it looks to be on the model. Really loved this dress.

I loved this dress so much I wore it all weekend!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this to a summer wedding and loved it because the print was fun but not too dressy. I am pretty tall- 5'10" so maxi dresses are usually not really long on me, but this was super short. It was like 3" off the ground even before I put shoes on and was too odd of a lenth to wear in either flats or heels so I pinned up the front to make a faux mullet (rise and fall) hem. Other than that, it fit really well in the chest, I'm a 34 B/C and was light and comfortable.

Wore it on a special day and I was thrilled to be the most glamorous girl in the room.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I wore this glamorous dress to my bridal shower. It would also work well for a nighttime event. I got a ton of compliments on it and would wear it again in a heartbeat. The top layer is very loose, but there is a lining that I thought was clingy. Ended up going a size up to so the lining would fit easier.

I did not wear this dress as it didn't fit.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
They did not have my backup size (2) and the 0 was slightly too small. I still thought the dress was cute and was disappointed it didn't fit. I'm not sure I would rent this dress again. It was cute, but not as cute as I'd hope it would be for the cost.

Dress is simple, breezy, but well structured
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Generally fits great, note that its on the shorter side. I am 5' 8" and had to wear the dress with flats, and it was still skimming my ankles. Great for a beach wedding.

Great, casual dress
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered this dress as my backup for my senior prom. I figured it was a safe bet for my body type and would be a good substitute if the dress I really wanted didn't fit. The style was too casual though and would have been better for an outdoor summer wedding or more casual party. My mom almost wore it to pre-prom pictures. Also the boning in the top was pretty snug and the light, airy fabric made nervous about it ripping. I probably would order a backup one size up if I were to rent this dress again.

Beautiful Print
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful print dress, but didn't work for me because my waist is not my best feature and it definitely accentuates that. Because I'm tall & it only comes in R, it fells mid-calf which actually gave it a cute, casual feel. But in that instance, I would definitely go all the way casual and belt it. Beautiful dress though and great flow of material & fit on the bust.

LOVE this dress. Such a cute maxi, wore to a birthday dinner with the Danielle Salmon earrings and got a ton of compliments. I'm a solid 4 with small Bs and had to wear the 6 to fit into the corset. BUT didn't need a bra and stayed up no problem. Great print, light and breezy. Definitely will rent on my next vacation too.

I loved this dress- fit true to size and was very comfortable. Able to be dressed down or up for any occasion. Highly recommend it- I got a lot of complements on it.

I got so many compliments on this dress! It is even more gorgeous in person. It is pretty see through, so don't forget nude spanx. The boning got a little uncomfortable, and should have probably worn one size up for the long night ahead.

Gorgeous dress, but it runs a little smaller than I expected with the boning.

I run about a size 4-6 and the 6 was great. The boning inside the dress made for a more secure fit, and it skimmed the floor when I wore flats.

I wore this 5 months pregnant (2 sizes up) and it looked great! Boning makes it fit tightly on torso so if broad there id go a size up! great 4 summer
