Fit great and looked nice. The color was a great way to pop up my fall wardrobe.

I liked the fit and color. The waistline wasn’t the most flattering and the buttons were pulling at the bust/waist more than others of the same size.

Word to work. Everyone loved! The fit was TTS! 

The dress was tight on the bust and big on the middle, the belt loops didn’t tighten enough so the belt sort of dropped. Overall I’m not sure if it was the fit, fabric or style that just made me feel old and frumpy.  Only wore once and wouldn’t rent again. 

It’s a cute color and pattern, well made and with nice details.  But overall not very flattering and weird on size.  A size 6 wasn’t available so I went up a size per some reviews - which is good bc a size smaller wouldn’t have fit my bust.  The waist is huge but the belt that is attached is tight.  And the sleeves are unintentionally baggy.  It just fits weird. Will not try again. 

Use it for an event & got many compliments, very light & the size was perfect. I like the sleeves, it covers my shoulders 

Great color and cut. Has a retro vibe and the fabric is retro, too, but still very comfortable and breezy. Super flattering.

Belt was sewn in, so the buckle could be off centered for you. I sized up for the chest, but the rest of the dress was too big, especially the belt. I ended up tying the belt to the loop on the waist.

This dress was so comfortable! The fabric was light, but not thin. I wore this to work and got so many compliments. 

Love this dress. Fits true to size. Flattering, comfortable and easy to wear on the go. Great for a brunch or work! 

It is lightweight, while still hanging well. I did need to iron, and the belt is sewn in a way that the buckle didn’t feel centered. But the dress is beautiful and definitely worth renting. 

While this was a pretty dress, it was super duper conservative and gave school teacher vibes. There was absolutely nothing sexy about it. It was not available in my size, so I went up one size. The dress fit fine but the belt didn't have enough holes to tighten it up quite enough so I had to safety pin the belt. Otherwise the belt was droopy. So, it worked fine to size up with a slight adjustment to the belt.

I liked the cut of this dress but the print was strange.  The cut felt like a vintage 50s style but the print is very 70s looking with orange swiggles, not a fan of the print at all. 

Pretty dress. Probably better for a taller, smaller chested person. Buttons pulled across chest.

Very nice fabric and cut, excellent fit except the belt. It’s sewn in you can’t take it off. The first hole is super tight. There’s lots of fabric like a foot from the belt end to the first hole. Super uncomfortable and rides up. 

I wear a 4 not my regular 2 in this brand due to small bust size of dresses. This was absolutely stunning in person. The belt sucks as others have said, but that is easily fixed. 

Perfect graduation dress! It it so soft and comfortable I could have kept it on all day. I could have sized down I think but it was a good choice for the gals. The belt is a bit awkward as it’s attached on one side so it may not buckle in the middle. And I could have used a pin or tape to keep it in place. 

I’m small chested and this was tight in the chest for me! Gaping between the button holes so I used fashion tape to keep it closed. Otherwise nice dress - drapes/skims well. 

Ok so overall, this was a good rental but I have a lot of caveats. 

Either I got my sizing wrong or I could have gone down 1 dress size for this one. I always ere on the side of a little bigger with dresses I plan to wear in a professional setting because of my hourglass-ish figure (large cup size and wide hips/large derrière, IYKYK) but I think this one had enough room to go down in size without looking too sexy. That may cause more pulling in the chest area, if you have my body type, but safety pins and a minimizer bra came in handy for me. 

This one may have been an RTR error: the belt is stitched to the side so it kept moving off center when I tried to tighten it to fit my smaller waist (see above Re: sizing). I had to use safety pins close to the buckle to keep it in line with the buttons. 

Wrinkles easily but also very easy to steam. 

Light, breezy, flows well. Unlined. I wore dark-colored biker shorts under, just in case it was see through in certain lighting. Maybe a slip (do ppl still wear slips? lol) could work too. Requires nothing but could easily be elevated with some styling. The color is beautiful. 

Might rent it again one day.
