I loved that this almost had a corset feeling around my rib cage area (structured ) but the rest of it was so loosen and comfy. It really was a perfect fit. I love the contrast of colors in the pattern.

The fabric is a light cotton, so I layered it for winter. I loved how the waist cinched with the corset, but had elastic in the back so you can still breathe. 

Loved this dress! I’m a sucker for pockets and also the boning in the dress is super flattering. Can’t wait to rent it again! 

Wore this to an outdoor fundraiser and it was great! Very comfortable, light, and the floral print is really pretty. Sizing was spot on. Would rent again for a daytime affair as well!! 

Wore this to an afternoon wedding, very beautiful fabric with a great fit and comfortable stays in the bodice.  No need to wear a bra.

Wore this to a late fall wedding and was SO comfortable. Yes I got tons of compliments, but the comfort was my personal highlight. The back is stretchy so there was no zipper or seam digging into my rib cage or stiff upright sitting during dinner. Not too heavy, not too light, you could wear it any season really and you can eat and drink the night away in the flowy, forgiving fabric. The length was a little longer (on me) than I expected, but it actually kept me very comfortable during the outdoor ceremony. The texture of the bust and the adjustable straps made it so I didn’t even have to wear a bra (A-cup girlies rise up) ANDDDDD there’s pockets, always a bonus right? Wish I were keeping her for myself! 

I had my eye on this for ages for a spring trip to NY with a show. It didn’t disappoint - I felt amazing in it. I paired it with the green Furla bag (another rental!) and it’s probably one of my favorite outfits of the year. Would absolutely rent again; the back has some stretch to it, and it meant the 4 worked as well as my usual size 6.

This dress may be tight but boy does it snatch the waist! Sure, it might be uncomfortable if you wear it for 8+ hours depending on how snatched it makes you, but it is beautiful and received a compliment from Mona Awad when I attended her book signing. 

huge fan of Cara Cara! a good transitional piece and can easily dress up or down! wore to a wedding welcome party 

Wore this gorgeous dress out to dinner in Brooklyn. It can be dressed up with a leather jacket or blazer or dressed down with a scarf or sweater. Highly recommend! 

Pretty colors and easy fit! Super comfortable and fun! 

I am so obsessed with this dress. I wore it to an outdoor wedding. It was not only complimented constantly but was comfortable and kept me cool.  

With the fabric being thicker, I wish I would've steamed the dress.

This dress was light weight and had nice details. I could see it working for someone who is pregnant given the empire waist. 

The style was very flattering, the dress is made very well. The pattern!! Got so many compliments on it

Was looking for a comfortable dress that would fake the hourglass figure I haven’t regained postpartum. Not only was this supportive in all the right places, I didn’t need any shape-wear to feel great and dance all night!

I rented two different styles and ended up selecting this one. I wore it to a formal, outdoor wedding and it fit right in. I usually wear a size 6 but I ended up wearing the 8 so I could eat. The chest is definitely smaller if you are a C or above. I probably wouldn’t recommend this dress for anyone larger than a C bc of the way the top is designed. Huge plus is you don’t need a bra and top is very snug so you don’t pop out. Dress length was perfect for me (I’m 5’7”).  I added these fun strappy red shoes from Amazon. Dress material is cotton but print  and top design make it perfect for a formal occasion. Highly recommend!

I’m obsessed with how gorgeous this dress is. The boning with the flair waist line is so feminine and flattering. Unfortunately I think it shows too much cleavage for my work event. Would rent again and may size up to give the girls some room.

Love the structured top of this dress, held up perfectly with no bra and adjustable straps. Fabric is super light and not particularly dressy but worked for an outdoor party

Gorgeous print. The boning at the waist and chest are very slimming. No bra needed. Good length and deep pockets. I love this dress. Might not be good for large chests.

I thought a 6 would be too big but it was a perfect fit. Flattering and comfortable dress

This dress is beautiful and fit just right! The top has a lot of structure/boning that allows for no bra, but it never felt stifling due to the stretchy back. I ordered the 4 and 6 and went with the 6 for the eating/sitting room. So simple and comfortable, while still looking so put together. Just perfect.

Almost bought this! Super light & flattering, would rent again

The top fit nicely, yay for adjustable straps. Nice light material, very comfortable. Not the most flattering on a short, curvy person, but it felt fun. 

Adjustable straps, pockets, and SNATCHED my waist. Boobs looked great - I wore with a strapless bra but you could totally go without. Wore to a beach wedding because the fabric and color hid my sweat well. 

This was the perfect dress, with a nice corseted fitted top, lovely pops of color, and great fit.

Cute dress. I wore it to a tequila tasting event and that matched the vibe. The top is a little restrictive on the bust. I didn't wear a bra.

Not to mention it has pockets! I wore this dress for a date, work, everyday, dress it up or dress it down with some sneakers. I love Cara Cara because they make such good quality dresses. You won’t regret this dress!

Beautiful A-line dress! bustier like top portion and pockets!

This is a great dress to wear to a wedding. It has some stretch, adjustable straps and pockets! FYI if you have a larger chest, your shoulders will hurt after a couple of hours from the very thin straps. 

Perfect dress for a trip to Provence! The bodice was super flattering. Don’t hesitate to rent this dress!

Reviews were correct- there isn’t a lot of room in the bust. I’m a 34C (small C) and just fit in the chest area. 

Loved this dress! I was 6 months PP and it was very flattering on me

Gorgeous dress very light and comfortable material. I’m normally an 8 but the way the bust is cut on this dress my larger sized tatas didn’t fit so I sized up to a 10 which worked for the top but then the dress below the waist was a bit too big and long however I still loved it and would rent again. 

Loved this, there’s some light boning in the mid section to provide a snatch. 

Obsessed with this dress. Super high quality and flattering. Really cinches in the waist because of the boning. It’s giving Oscar de la Renta. Wore for date night but wish I’d had for a wedding a few months back. 

Loved this dress and received so many compliments. The fit was great and loved pairing with red heels. 

Fit like a glove! It is cotton but it’s made with such long fibers that it has a beautiful sheen and felt formal enough for a summer wedding at a castle in LA area. As you can see my hubs was in a black suit, so it wasn’t a casual wedding by any means. The bust area is pretty small, but as a 32A I had plenty of room. Not sure if it would work for anyone over a C unfortunately. Absolutely loved wearing this and felt comfortable all night!
