I wore this for my bridal shower. It fit great. Was comfortable, yet flattering in all the right ways. It does show off legs and clevage. I did get tons of compliments on the dress and color. And it's always great to wear a dress with normal under garments. I was kind of sad to send it back. 

It was perfect for cold weather with tights and over the knee boots. You'll need a special bra bc the slit goes low.

This brand has become one of my favorites, their clothes never disappoint! This dress fits true to size, and is the perfect length, looks super cute with knee high boots or heels. It shows just the right amount of cleavage - make sure to wear the right colored bra, otherwise you could see it from the side. 

I loved wearing this dress for my birthday! Having a February birthday is always tough to find something sexy but keeps you warm. I loved this dress with the slit in the front it was sexy edge to the dress. I would size up though for this dress, the arms are a bit tight

I rented this dress for my birthday dinner with my fella and friends. My birthday is mid-January, so its always cold and snowy in Michigan but I really wanted to feel beautiful (and also have room for a large meal). This dress fit the bill! I wore it with black heels and tights with a black clutch. The slit on the chest IS LOW so my bra showed a bit, but my fella didn't care! I usually wear 4 or 6, the 2 I rented as my backup size due to reviews I couldn't even fit over my head! The four was perfect, wasn't too short, and was comfortable. 

Loved this dress! The fabric is thicker so I would say fall and winter are the perfect seasons to wear this dress. It is also a little bit shorter, but that did not bother me at all.  It looked best with my tall black boots! Would rent again!

This is not a color I usually wear but I loved it. It's a bit short and the key hole shows more skin than I'm comfortable with for work, but made a great dress for date night with my husband. 

Sexy purple dress that you can enjoy a great dinner without feeling uncomfortable about the carbs! 

I had a baby one month before the wedding so I needed something that would help hide the belly I still have. This dress was great but I did use some spanx to help smooth my flab : ) lots of compliments and it was a nice length. I loved it

This dress was perfect for a winter work event! The long sleeves and the material were warm. I loved the flowing fit and was obsessed with the color! So many different ways I could've worn this dress - so versatile! Would absolutely recommend to others.

Wore this to the opening night of a work convention then afterwards out for drinks with friends. Worked perfectly in either setting. Personally wouldn't have been able to wear it with out tights without it looking too short but loved it with tights & booties.

Loved this dress and received many compliments on it! I could've sized down to the 10, but decided the 12 was a better option to order (I used unlimited, didn't receive a back up size), just in case the lining was smaller. It was so comfortable and not short at all. I would rent again!

There is not one thing I didn't love about this dress. The color, the fit and the shorter style were perfect for a night out on the town. I paired it with boots one evening and then wore it again with a denim jacket and flats - both looked great. 

It's a very flattering fit with the loose hippie style and the color is a vibrant raspberry/plum which looks even better in person. The sleeves have a bit of a bell style to them as does the hem of the dress & the center cut out adds just the right amount of dimension and is a perfect detail. 

This dress would be perfect for a date night, night out with the girls or vacation. 

Love this dress so much!  It is sexy without showing too much skin and is very comfortable.  It runs slightly big and the sleeves are a bit long.  I loved that I could eat a lot without worrying about holding my stomach in!    Paired with Alexis Bittar Seeing Double Earrings and it was perfect.

I loved the color of this dress first off. Then I tried it on and the long sleeves were perfect paired with the short skirt. It did raise up when you lifted your arms but I never felt like I was going to flash someone. There was enough room to move my arms comfortably. The slit was low but it didn't go low enough where my bra was exposed. I would 100% rent this again. The material wasn't too thick but it didn't wrinkle - yay!

I wore the dress to a 2015 Christmas party. The length was fun to show off legs, yet conservative with the long sleeves. I'm still loosing baby weight and the A-line and heavy fabric was perfect to hide a few flaws and give enough room for my nursing bust. I would definitely rent this dress again.

I ordered both a 10 and 12 for this one that I chose for a V'Day drinks and then dinner date. I could have worn either - but the 10 hugged my curves more and was just as comfortable as the 12. The color was not as vibrant as I was hoping - more a mulberry than magenta - but I was still happy with it. I was worried it would be too short - particularly for a winter date - but with opaque tights I was super comfortable - still head-turning but not too sexy that I would feel uncomfortable in a mixed-dress restaurant. I am probably one of the more taller and longer legged reviewers of this one and I really liked it. It was a fun dress to wear! My only complaint is the zipper is only like 5 or 6" long - so it is really a struggle to get into the dress particularly if you have broad shoulders. I do not understand why they didn't put in a longer zipper on this type of long-sleeved no-stretch dress? Both sizes were like this - its the zipper / construction issue not fit whatsoever. But it was a beautiful dress! Kind of hated to send it back! 

This dress was very flattering. I wish I had gotten a full length picture that showed the dress! It wasn't  too short or too long. Just perfect! Loved the bell sleeves and the cut out! Will rent again!

Such a great dress! Wish I owned it! It was a tad on the short side. I'm 5'7 and wouldn't do any raising the roof in this one. The slit in the front was a pretty revealing as well. I wore a thicker/bandeau like bra which was visible. Bra less may have been better if the night wasn't so cold. The material was very thick and kept my arms warm. If you have any sort of cleavage it WILL be peaking through. The color was beautiful and very flattering in all lighting. This dress could be dressed up or down. My date loved it, turned out to be a very sexy dress. Will rent again!! 

This dress runs true to size, and it works well for any cup size. The dress has a comfortable fit throughout. The hem hits at about mid thigh, and the fabric has no stretch. This works best for Apple, Athletic, Full Bust, Hourglass, Petite, Pear, Tall, Straight & Narrow, and Bump Friendly body types. The sleeves seemed a tad long, but also add to the retro vibe of the dress. pair with some cool tall shaft boots and a boho pair of earrings. 

I originally ordered it for my birthday party with friends, but the 2nd half of the evening was to be spent playing ping pong. The dress was shorter than I imagined it would be, so it did not lend itself for a lot of movement without flashing everyone in sight. I wasn't going to wear it at all, but then was surprised for a birthday dinner at PUMP in West Hollywood. The color was perfect for PUMP and was flirty, festive and fun to wear. It was very comfortable, I paired it with tights and black booties. I have a large chest so was initially nervous my 36DD's would pop out, but the keyhole made the dress fun and flirty while the rest still made me feel covered up. Loved it and would definitely recommend!

was it short?? looks great! not sure if its too short to wear to my work party next month. Im 5&#39;7&quot; sz 8

This was a beautiful dress that left a lot of room to move! 

I rented this a few months ago. Not the best pic, but the dress worked well with the exception that the arms were too long for me. Folding the sleeves did work. I personally really liked the fit and the keyhole in the front and did work for my breast size. 

This dress does run big. I gained some weight over the holidays so I didn't want anything tight fitting. Since the weight gain, I wasn't sure which size to get. I got both 4 and 6, and the 4 was even slightly big, but was comfortable. The dress flows nicely, without being tight anywhere. Perfect if you are going out for dinner or know you'll be eating. The fabric was nice and had a good weight, great for a chilly evening. The sleeves were long for my petite frame. I paired the dress with tights and boots and was good to go all night. I found the front key-hole sexy, without being inappropriate or scandalous. Nice dress all around. Caution- If you do order a size 4, the right sleeve does have a permanent stain. I wore the dress anyways. 

It was November in Wisconsin and I finally got smart and rented long sleeves!! The sleeves were a little too long for me so I folded them under and used fabric tape.  The length of the dress was perfect. I am short so it wasn't too short or too long on me. It was the perfect amount of sexy and appropriate. I do wish it had pockets thought. So, the sleeves and lack of pockets took off a star. Overall it was a great rental.

I tried this dress on as a whim because my original order didn't work out- was I ever thankful!! This dress was very comfortable for a February date night. The key hole was super flirty, adding a playful aspect to an otherwise simple appearance. I wore it with tights, booties and a leather jacket to stay warm.
Heads up: I'm 5'3 and it is for sure short (I didn't want to lift my arms too high as to not show off my butt.) 

This dress wasn't the most flattering on me, but I enjoyed the loose look with super high heels and black stockings. If I were to raise my hands, the dress rode up quite a bit. It might have been better a size smaller for me, but I think overall it was a great dress for a Valentine's Day dinner. 

This dress is cute. The fabric is lovely, and the shape is forgiving. 

Wore this to a baby shower and I was super comfortable. I was hiding my own baby bump so it worked perfectly. Came to about mid-thigh wore nude patten leather shoes with it. 

I loved the fit of this dress! I wore a bodysuit, rather than an actual bra, under this dress and the shape was gorgeous with and without bra support. It is a little short, if you're worried about the length, but not tacky. I wore this with heels for most of the night, just don't lift your arms above your head! Frankly, I would rent this dress for any occasion 100 times again! 

Wore this to a fall wedding. The color is beautiful, but it is a bit short! Really pretty!

Loved this dress! I fit perfectly and was just the right length to wear with my over the knee boots.

Very flattering and sexy if you don't mind showing off legs. 

So cute and comfortable..perfect fit! LOVE this dress

This is my second time wearing this dress (once in black, once in plum). It's very flattering and super comfortable. It is short (i am 5'9") but with tights it was work appropriate. Highly recommend! 

Fit was perfect and the sleeves were long enough, which can be a problem since I'm tall.  The skirt length makes it dangerous to bend over or dance too hard, but looks amazing!

I have never been more mad that I didn't take pictures at a party bc this dress was a massive hit! I got compliments alllllll day. The material was thick which made it so perfect for a November day party. I paired it with black tights and gray booties. The only thing you'll need to consider about this dress is the length- it's very short. But if you wear tights or si only aren't worried about it being too short then go right ahead and rent this perfect dress!!!

Worse this to a friend's rehearsal dinner, needed tights and paired with booties for a great fall night outfit! I was comfortable and felt cute for the night. Great pick!!
