I rented this dress for a recent wedding of a friend that was held at an art museum.  The colorful design on the sides adds just enough splash, while still maintaining the elegance of the dress.  For the most part, the dress fit well, although it seemed to run a bit large; I ordered both a 40 and 42, and wish I had ordered the 38.

I wore this to a birthday party at 20 weeks pregnant.  My body type is straight/narrow, but this pregnancy gave me some curves, and this dress made it easy to show them off.  The material is prone to wrinkling as you can see in the photo; we took the photo after a long sit-down dinner, so that clearly didn't help.  I would recommend this dress because it's pretty, summery, and unique.

This dress was beautiful and perfect for the wedding we attended. The color was much more flattering in person, I was initially afraid it would be washed out. The fabric was light and comfortable and the fit was so flattering and forgiving! Definitely runs  large, and fits pretty loose on the top, order a size down. But was nice and long for anyone tall! Wish I could have kept this dress forever!

This dress fit me like a glove and I received several compliments to that effect. I loved the unusual pattern. It did wrinkle a bit easily but that didn't bother me or really detract much from the dress.

I wore this dress in my third trimester, it stretched well! I loved the colors and the fit. However, as the night went on it stretched out and became wrinkled. 

I rented this dress for my bridal shower.  I tried on the 46, which felt better in my hips but was too loose on top.  The 44 required some spanx, but fit perfectly in the end.  I received many compliments both at the party and in Facebook comments.  I did need some fashion tape to secure the top as it is very open and can gape if you shift or bend over.  

I really don't think this dress works for hourglass figures. I thought it would work because reviews said it was stretchy material in the hips and plenty of room in the chest...which is true. However, I felt it was way to snug on my hips even with spanx and I had to keep pulling it down. Also, I really think there is just too much fabric in the chest. I have a 34DD and still had to use fashion tape to keep the ladies in check. Additionally, I was a bit disappointed in the color. Online it looks cream with bright colors. In person its more dark beige- almost brown and the colors look a little washed out. I am honestly wondering if someone ran it through the washer machine at one point because it almost looks like the colors bled but that could just be the way the dress looks. Overall, I wore it to a baby shower, liked it and even got a few compliments. But definitely not one of my favorites.

Didn't love the fit of this dress - too big in the waist and chest. I wouldn't really recommend this for an hourglass shape. 

The colors are more cream-like and muted in person. The top is very prone to opening and peeking, a touch of fashion tape would be in order if you don't want to show people exactly how fabulous your bra is. (I mean, if you do, go ahead. You do you, this dress is perfect then.) The fabric was comfortable and I wasn't either too cold or too hot through the night. 

I did get some compliments on the dress. At 5'8 it hits me right at the knee, so the length was perfect. 

I absolutely loved this dress. I am somewhat small chested (small 34B) and I found I was constantly readjusting the top portion of the dress so that I wouldn't partially flash everyone I interacted with. Besides the minor adjustments, I felt like I glowed in this dress. So many compliments. I will say however, that the quality of the dress was surprising for the retail price tag. It felt like a regular cotton dress. Perhaps my expectation of what a >1k dress was slightly higher than the reality of the dress. Either way, I wore the dress twice and many people gave out compliments!

I really loved wearing this dress for my friend's April wedding. It turned out that the pattern matched all the tulips and flower arrangements for the wedding reception! My only complaint is the fabric is vaguely linen-y, so it wrinkled easily. After our car ride to the wedding, it looked like I needed a solid ironing. I don't think anyone else cared or noticed, and I got a ton of compliments all night! 

This dress fit like a glove, and I felt beautiful in it. It had just the right amount of stretch, and the waistline and pattern made it super flattering. Classy but unique - I'd love to own this dress.

This was one of my back-up dresses but I tried it on to see how it fit.  I agree with the other people who wrote that the dress is bigger on top and small in the bottom.  It fit perfect on me because I am a D cup and have wide shoulders.  I usually wear size 8 and this dress in size 8 fit just fine.

Loved the dress, it looked very nice on - definitely went with the smaller size.  It was great.

loved the colors and style of this dress.  it was more worn when i received it than i expected but no damage.  the dress was extremely fitted at the waist and a little too large in the bust.  the print was so amazing that i was fine with the fit not working for my body.  

Am renting this dress later in the spring. Would you recommend a slip?

I was not planning to but I was going to wear pantyhose. 

Runs a little large. Due to a late return, I only got the size 6 and needed the size 4. I fall between sizes. The dress was beautiful. No lining but material was nice - not at all sheer. 

I liked this dress, but not in love with it. I thought it needed a belt, which I added.  Liked the pattern around the edges, but the overall cream color kinda looked dingy to me.  My husband liked it more than me, so maybe it appeals to men more!  

Underwhelmed I guess would be the best word- I ordered this as a back up dress.....It did this weird gaping thing at the chest line, which I suppose I could have fixed with fashion tape, but I was admittedly to lazy to try to make it work. I wore the other dress I ordered instead. 

small on the bottom and large on the top. I was surprised it is not lined. Gorgeous dress though!

this dress was about two sizes too large. got the size 4 and prob could've gone with a size 0 and still fit in it with plenty of room to move. perhaps a person with a big chest would fare much better than a person of my size.

thankful I had a back up dress to go with from Rent the Runway, which ended up being just perfect!

The dress is very big on top and small on the bottom - if you are small waisted and small-busted the dress is not for you.  Unlike in the picture, the waist is not actually nipped in - I had to pin the size that fit me on bottom to get just a bit of definition in the waist.  The fabric is also pretty heavy, so the dress is kind of stiff and doesn't really move with you.  In addition, the heavier fabric makes the cross-over top gape open whenever you are not standing or sitting straight up - you will definitely need fashion tape or a few pins to hold it together (esp if you have a small bust).  I would not recommend the dress and wish I had made a different choice for this rental 

The textile design on this dress was very beautiful, and so was the drape of the fabric at the neckline. It was a bit large and pretty long (knee length and I'm 5'10) . I was a bit surprised at the fabric since it looks like silk but it's actually like a soft cotton.
