I loooove this dress. It was super forgiving through my midsection and a great length for my 5 foot 2 stature. The slip underneath was tight, not too tight, but I would get your normal size and one size up in case you needed to wear the larger slip. 

Thanks to the intel from other reviews I got this in medium and large - and as expected, I ended up wearing the medium dress with the large slip under it – and even then the slip was skintight. 
The medium dress fit perfectly - not too tight or too loose - and looked great . the large dress was just too big and shapeless, but the medium slip was more like an XS.
 I wore this to a dinner party so I spent most of the evening sitting down but every time I stood up I had to pull the slip down because it would keep creep ing up almost up to my waist. If I ever rent this again I'm probably going to wear my own slip underneath to avoid these problems.
In any case it was comfortable and fancy without being too formal -  the bell sleeves are 3/4, so I didn't have to worry about them dragging or getting caught in things. Overall a good choice - I just don't know what is up with the slip sizing.

This dress was super cute, comfortable, and short! Loved all of it! I wore it for a Madmen tv show themed holiday party and got so many compliments!

Very comfortable and looks good with flats. I am not a heel girl. I am a bit hippy with an apple bottom and the under slip wanted to ride up a bit over my bum. The black tights hid that. I would rent again in a large  to avoid that. 

LOVE this dress, so hard for me to return. First, I followed the advice to order my size and then a bigger size as a back up so that I could wear a larger slip - great advice. I loved that there was skin on top showing through the pretty lace, and then lots of leg to show off. I don't normally like bell sleeves, but it made the dress just a little bohemian in my opinion, and I felt wonderful in it. It can be dressed up with neutral heels, and dressed down cute with a pair of brown boots. Favorite. Rental. Ever.

Short & sexy without showing too much. Definitely recommend one size up for the slip. Loved it! Would rent again or even buy it!!! 

This dress comes in two pieces... The slip runs very small (length and width) and the lace overlay runs true to size in my opinion. I got a medium, and a large as a backup size. I wore the large slip with the medium overlay.
It was very comfortable and I was cool even during a hot, humid, mid-eighty degree day. It was also easy to dance in and the lacy wasn't itchy! 
I got a lot of compliments and really enjoyed this dress- would definitely recommend if you need/want something comfortable, not form-fitting, and "fancy" as well!

Loved this dress, very flattering and fun and flirty! 

This dress fit wonderfully! I ordered a medium and a small, and ended up wearing the small! I'm 22, 5'8" and about 140lbs and usually wear a 34D. It was definitely short, but I wore it out to a New Years Eve party, so was fine with that! I got a lot of compliments on it, and the material was very comfortable. If you'll be dancing though, or even sitting, I'd suggest wearing spanks or shorts underneath, because it was pretty close to revealing a little too much. All in all, I loved it! 

It is a little on the short side if you are tall. For reference im 5'7.  But it is classy and was perfect for my work event. 

The dress fit great and I would highly recommend it for any Fall event, such as a wedding or cocktail party. I was 3 months post partum and it was flowy enough to cover my not-so-perfect stomach. I am also a DD and it wasn’t too tight in the chest area, which is rare!

This dress was PERFECT! I was super nervous to order online with out trying on, but this website seriously rocks! The slip under the dress was a little small though, I have a large bust and big butt so I had to wear a different slip, which turned out to be the slip from my back up dress! I got so many compliments and I wish I could keep this dress forever!! Highly reccomend for any occasion! 

Loved this dress! Previous reviews are right, the slip is much tighter than the lace overlay. Unfortunately my S backup size wasn't available at the last minute (ugh RTR!) but I was able to fit into the XS with little issue. It did ride up a little throughout the night but wasn't annoying enough for me to give a lower rating. Perfect length, but I'm just under 5'. Wish I didn't have to send it back!

No cons at all, loved this dress! Perfect for those self conscious about their arms like me and want to cover up a bit but still look and feel sexy! Perfect for a cocktail party outdoors. 

This dress was awesome!  I was worried about the length it's short! It worked out fine on me I'm 5'4" and weigh 155.  The fit was perfect I was able to wear the medium.  I would say it runs big because I normally wear large.

As everyone else mentioned, I had to wear the L slip with the M lace overlay. It was the perfect combination and looked gorgeous. It was appropriate for the rehearsal dinner, and yet looked young and playful enough for my personality. I would buy this one given the opportunity to purchase the correct fitting pieces.

It's important to note this dress comes in two pieces: a slip and the lace piece. I wore the medium slip and small lace piece. I wore this to an outdoor graduation and didn't want fabric clinging to my body so I opted for the slightly bigger slip. What I liked about this is it covered me from the sun without being overalls hot. Wore it to the grad and then the after party at a nice steakhouse. The statehouse required shoulders to be covered so this dress perfect for the whole day! Would rent again or even buy, very pretty dress!

This dress was awesome to wear to a Derby Party.. I got the XS and S.. It is a two part dress, and I wore the small slip and XS dress. The XS slip was tight to get on. The lace covering part was flowy and comfortable. I did need to wear a sticky bra because the slip is low cut in the back. Very happy with this rental! 

I rented this dress for a (casual) gala and I wanted something feminine and soft but still with a little sex appeal. The lace overlay on top of the slip fit the bill. I loved the bell sleeves and felt really good in this dress. I received a ton of compliments on it! I would definitely wear this again.

I'm only 5'3 and 160 lbs, and I wore the medium in both slip and overlay.

I ordered the Small and the X-Small for back-up and ended up wearing the liner from the Small and the lace overlay from the X-Small (it comes in two different pieces). The X-Small liner was just a tad small through my hips but the lace overlay hung perfectly. It worked out great. I loved the bell sleeves and the length was perfect for my 5'1" height. I did not want to send this dress back! Will definitely rent again!

Perfect length, sleeves weren't too long, and super comfy for wearing all night for New Years Eve


The lace is beautiful and bell sleeves are really fun. It's very short so you can't life your arms too high.

I wore the medium, but the underslip was a little tight, however if I got the large the dress was too baggy. Had to adjust few times during the night but overall comfortable dress.  Arms were perfect. 

I am 5,4 and the dress was short. Careful for ladies that are taller and worried about the length. 

The liner ran small, but the overlay was a great fit. I'd recommend getting the size you usually wear and one size larger and using the liner from the larger dress for the best fit. 

This dress is so comfortable and cute. I rented for Thanksgiving and loved it. The bell sleeves weren't ideal for cooking but they looked great 

This dress was fab! The bell sleeves are adorable & the lace is stunning. Perfect for an outside fall wedding. I prob would have preferred the M but last min RTR realized it hadn't been returned on time so I was left with the L. It fit ok - the shell fit well but the putter lace could have been a bit more shapely which I assume would have good in the M. 

This was the perfect BOHO Dress. The underlayer fit snug against my body with the lace overlay fitting perfectly. Slightly on the shorter size even for my 5'2 frame. The bell sleeve was so much fun. Lots of compliments! 

It fit perfectly! It was so comfortable, so flattering - I wore it multiple days just because it was so cute. I would buy this dress. I have unlimited, and this has been my favorite rental out of 20+. 

Loved this shift dress, got tons of compliments! Should have definitely sized down to a small. The underlay fit perfectly and the lace was just see through enough. I'm pretty obsessed with these bell sleeves, can't wait to rent again !

I wore this on my birthday dinner date. We strolled thru the mall before dinner, and I got tons of compliments from complete strangers. Very comfortable and flattering!

Can't say enough good things about this dress. So stunning I love the bell sleeves. It's a little short but was not a bother at all (except maybe sitting down). It's just beautiful. 

This dress was absolutely perfect for my birthday dinner.  I got compliments all night.  It was the perfect  navy color and the lace gave it the pretty,  girly, romantic quality I was looking for.  The fit is a little short & the slip is snug as others have mentioned but it definitely showcases your legs.  I didn't want to  return it. Would definitely recommend & would rent again.

I'm a sucker for lace & I think navy is such a classy & pretty color. The bell sleeves were a nice touch & the length was great. Could easily be dressed up or down!

I rented this dress for my best friend's bridal shower in New England. I ended up going with the large instead of the medium because the slip for underneath the dress was extremely short on me (5'7" before heels). Super comfortable and so cute - the lace pattern and bell sleeves are awesome. 

So so cute! Super comfy. A bit on the short side FYI... I'm only 5'5.
Loved and want to keep 

Love this dress! So flattering. I wore it for a bridal shower and it was perfect. It is a little short just as a heads up, but still appropriate for any occasion! Loved it! 

I rented this for a wedding and it ended up being perfect! Only small downfall is that it's kind of short, but not too bad. Fits true to size and was very comfortable. Loved the bell sleeves!

Loved this dress. The pic doesn't do it jusice really. I ordered Med and Small and wore the small. Its a shift style so was really a "throw on" dress but so elegant. The color is really pretty and the lace design as well. I thought it would be softer lace, but it was much more heavy/thick and not silky at all. I was fine with that. I wore it to a small evening wedding in SF in February. It was great for dancing and was formal enough for the affair. 

Perfect dress to wear to a Sunday brunch with friends! I love the lace overlay on this dress complete with the bell sleeve.  A great length for me at 5'4 with plenty of room in the bust. Although there is little stretch in the fabric this dress is not fitted in the waist or hip area. The slip underneath does have a deep v-neck and is fairly sheer so I would recommend a Nu Bra with this dress for sure! You can dress this look up with a wedge heel or go for a casual look with cute ballerina flat! 

Very pretty dress that was easy to wear! Loved the lace detail and bell sleeves. Better in person than in pics due to the loose fit of the lace overlay. It looks slightly boxy in photos, but was cute and swingy in person. The long sleeves worked well for a fall wedding. Minus one star since it had a few minor stains on it and this was a replacement dress due to my original choice becoming unavailable one week before my event. 

I would have given this 5 stars if the slip underneath hadn't been so small. The sheath itself was so pretty and fit great, but I had to run to the store and buy an emergency slip to go under it or else my entire bum would have shown after just a few steps due to it riding up. Got compliments and loved it with my new slip. Would rent again!

This dress was so comfortable and easy to dance in! I'm glad I read reviews prior to ordering though because even though I wore a medium, I used the large slip that was sent with my backup. The slip is MUCH smaller than the lace overlay. I almost wish the slip was two sizes up because of how short it was when I sat down. Overall, I loved this dress but wish the slip size matched the dress size.

I wore this as an Easter dress. I ordered the small and medium as my backup. I ended up wearing the small overlay and medium slip, as the small slip was too short and tight. The small overlay was still a little big on me. I was able to wear a normal bra with this because the back didn’t come down too low. I am 5’3 and it was fairly short on me.

This was a nice and easy dress. The bottom layer fit well but the top was a bit big. I wish I had gotten a smaller size for my backup and mixed the sizes. 

This dress was perfect for the outdoor fall wedding I attended. All of the reviews I read were pretty accurate. I have a curvy/athletic figure and the large slip was very tight and short on me, but paired with the lace overlay you couldn't tell. I was definitely pulling the dress down a lot throughout the evening but I didn't mind. I could've gotten away with the medium lace overlay but it felt a little too short, so I went with the large all around, but it's nice that you can mix and match with this dress. If you are taller (I'm 5'7"), this dress might be too short. Overall, I would definitely consider renting this dress again! 

As all of the reviews have stated, the slip is way smaller than the dress. I wish I would have received the large also so that I could have worn the medium dress with the large slip.  Instead I ended up wearing my nude slip and it worked just fine.  I do have a baby bump here, but the dress was very loose and comfortable in this area.  The navy slip would have hidden it much better.

A lot of room and very comfortable. It is short and rode up a tiny bit when I lifted my arms while dancing but if you can contain yourself you should be ok. I received compliments. The long sleeves were warm on a chilly evening. I felt comfortable in this dress. I'm 5'4 with b cup and athletic shape. Dresses are not fun for me most of the time because it's either "frumpy" or completely uncomfortable where I feel the need to suck in or not move. As a 35 year old mother I have a hard time finding age appropriate dresses (not 'clubby' yet not matronly). I felt this dress was the balance I've been seeking. 

I loved this dress, especially the neckline and bell sleeves. The slip underneath was separate from the lace dress. The slip ran very small and short, and the lace dress ran slightly large. I would consider renting this again but the sizing was a little off. 

Wore this dress for a summer wedding. This dress is two pieces -- the slip underneath and then the lace on top. The slip is SHORT! (And I'm only 5'3"). Anytime we sat in church during the ceremony I definitely had to double check where things were to make sure everyone didn't see things they weren't supposed to. I considered wearing the large slip w/ the medium lace top but it was too large in the bust. The good news is, the lace part of the dress is long enough where no one will notice. If you have a large badonkadonk or long legs I do not suggest getting this dress. 

Looser fit, pretty short in length, got tons of complements!

Wish I had a better photo for you all!  This was at the bar with their lousy mirror.  Loved!  But! VERY short lining (dress is lining slip then separate lace overlay) the slip barely came mid thigh and when it sat down it literally came all the way up so my entire thigh was showing through the lace.  Not the best look!  Didn't realize it until out for the night.  Still got a ton of compliments.  Loved the look.  Paired with taupe peep toe booties and the necklace shown.  

Dress was very short! I wore the large slip with the medium lace overlay because the large slip was slightly longer than the medium. I am only 5'3" but I was definitely pulling the dress down all night.  Lots of compliments on this dress!!!

I'm 5'8 and weighs around 125. The small fit great BUT I have long legs and it's too short to wear to an office holiday party. I think my tush my show if I had to bend over. So I didn't wear it.

Great material and lace detail!  Fits true to size with  attractive cut and fun sleeves!  As others have shared it is short  and flirty!
