Wore this to my baby shower at 24 weeks pregnant and it was perfect! So much room for a bump but would also look so cute without

Love this dress! I wore to the rehearsal dinner of a recent wedding. The sleeves were the best part and it was definitely flattering. Considered keeping it!

Everyone loved this dress! It was very comfortable and I think is a very classy piece as well.  I wore this 5 1/2 months pregnant but felt beautiful. It didn't cling to my stomach at all. 

Got so many compliments, including a bunch of people on the street. VERY cute dress!!

Hangs loose and the sleeves are super fun. They fall straight to the sides so they don't look as cartoonish as some others. Loved this dress.

This dress is so fun and I got so so many compliments on it! The sleeves are so fun! I'm short and found it to be pretty short, don't lift your arms!! 

I'm 8 months pregnant and rented this for a work cocktail reception I was attending. I love it! It's work appropriate, without being boring. It feels very 60s glam, very Megan Draper-esqe. 

I sized up to a medium and it was roomy even with a big bump, so be aware this runs large 

Dress is beautiful and unique but it is voluminous (covers a multitude of sins!) . I could have easily worn XS. Nevertheless I loved it and felt very glamorous. Paired it with Kate Spade Blue Color Crush Necklace. Perfect match. Highly recommend.

I loved this dress! You could dress it up or down --
It's perfect for days you feel a little "fuller" than others -- it has a swingy, boxy fit, which is great for eating! :) it's easy and effortless, and the pleating and split sleeves add some extra interest. Of note - it's very lightweight, so windy days will not be kind to you. :)

This dress was so elegant and flowy.  Just stunning design.  Loved the sleeves and the movement was incredible!!  Very comfortable and loose and so stylish.

I loved this dress! It was great for work but also you could also zhuzh up the outfit with some jewellery for a formal affair 
True to size and works on short girls 

Full of movement for dancing, the perfect length, super comfortable. Worth the rental, 100%. 

Loved this comfy easy to wear cocktail dress. The sleeves and pleats make it interesting and it's a beautiful navy color. 

Such a fun, flowy dress that's perfect for a family gathering. Wore this to a surprise 80th birthday and then out to bars afterward and it was perfectly elegant and sophisticated. Would purchase this dress in a heartbeat. 
Runs true to size, maybe a little big in the skirt portion. Very flattering.

Favorite rental so far.  I rented an XS and a S. Wore the S but the XS wasn't that different other than the underarm was a bit tight.  The dress is comfortable and classy, yet the short length gives it some oomph. So many people loved it and it paired well with my statement necklace. My favorite part was the sleeves. I would definitely rent this again. 

Loose fitting dress - loves the sleeves! A little short (I'm 5'5") but great with pantyhose and booties 

This dress is so cute! It was slightly too small and pull in the chest and a bit to short for work. I would size up next time but mind you this was an XS so I should have been a med but this was all they had. 

This was a wonderful rental! The pleats somehow accentuate the good and hide the areas I am a little more self conscious about. It is super comfortable and looked great all night. I got a ton of compliments and even had a woman ask to look at the tag on the dance floor. Seriously great choice for a wedding. You will look great and actually get to enjoy the food/drinks without worrying about how your dress will fit later in the night. Win-win! 

Great color and the sleeves were super fun. Too short for me to wear wo tights (if I reached for anything, I was showing full lower butt). Might be better for a night out. 

This dress is insanely comfortable. It's unlined, but you don't need a slip at all -- the fabric is not translucent. It's actually surprisingly thick for pleated fabric. 4" keyhole closure at back of neck. 

Runs very large; I would have preferred an XXS if it were available. I am 5'3" and the XS hit just above my knees, and the kimono sleeves hit past my fingertips. I can't imagine being much shorter and wearing this dress.

Looks great with black tights/booties, calf-length boots, heels, and even sandals. You could wear this year-round, in just about any climate. Didn't wear to work because I felt it was a bit too dramatic for my business casual workplace. Otherwise, it's a versatile dress that's perfect for just about anything!

Great movement and swing. Pleats and fabric are refined and don't add bulk. Unique dress. 

Super comfortable. Drapes longer at back. Looked good with black tights and booties. 

Be aware this is not lined. The material is thick enough where you may be able to get away without wearing a slip; however, if you wear this in a lot of light, you may want to reconsider the slip option. Overall, a totally adorable dress! Definitely recommend it.

Great dress. Simple navy color. The pleating and sleeves make this dress. It's so pretty in person, but I can't find a photo to do it justice. I'm hoping to wear it to work early eek before shipping it back. It's shorter than I'd like at 5'6" but with my legs covered it will work. Would be great with heels and bare legs for a night out or drinks. I suggest you give this one a chance.

I'm a small/medium so I tend to rent medium if I'm uncertain of fit (I'm busty). It's loose and flowy, but the medium was nice on my 34DDD chest.

Flows nicely and comfortable. Pleats are flattering for any body type. You will need to wear a slip underneath! 

This dress is transparent. You have to wear something underneath. That is definitely the downfall. It also runs large. It's beautiful though. 

I rented this dress twice - once in a L and had to return without wearing because it was SO big that i felt like I could be 9 months pregnant and no one would even notice.  The next time I rented a S and it was perfect with over the knee boots for a dinner/night out.  Usually a wear a L, so this dress runs very big, and the S still managed to have the perfect amount of looseness to achieve the look this dress is intended to have.  Definitely rent this dress is you want to look cute and still manage to make it through a 10 course meal without looking bloated.  

I've rented this dress twice now and both times I've loved it. It is definitely a dress to be worn with tights as it is on the shorter side and very sheer. I wore it with tights and booties and it was perfect. The pleats are a nice detail but otherwise since it's so solid, it lends itself to lots of fun pops from accessories. Great dress!

I wasn't that attached to this dress - then I wore it out. I can think of very few things I've worn that have received as many compliments. Bonus - it's comfy. 

Loved the sleeve, although they were a bit cumbersome when I was trying to eat my lunch. Dress was flowy and lighter than I expected. 

I wore this out to dinner on vacation in NYC in the winter. It was fun and easy to wear, but not the most flattering fit. It was versatile enough that you could wear to work as well.

Wore this for a work cocktail party. Really loved it and thought about buying it- May end up renting again. 

I received so many compliments and the dress was so comfortable and fun to wear. It was a little short, but otherwise a great dress 

Comfortable and classic, could have sized down but based on style didn't really matter.

Beautiful color, forgiving fit, and just enough sass for a creative workplace. Sleeves are a little annoying at times (washing hands etc) and length is short (be careful bending over). Wore with tights and tall boots but could also wear with slim pants for an oversize blouse look. Lots of compliments. 

This is a great, classy work dress. I wore it with otn boots could easily wear heels or booties with or without tights for spring or fall. I'm short so it looked alright on me but if I were a little taller I think it would have looked a little better. I will definitely be ordering this one again. 

This was a fabulous dress for a party, a night out, or even a day occasion. Amazing fit, Fun sleeves, great fabric, and spacious but flattering. So comfortable, but chic!

I wore this dress to go out to get cocktails and go dancing in Los Angeles. The dress was perfect for California winter, very light and cute. Would definitely rent again! 

Stunning dress, so unique and flattering, got so many compliments. 

Fit perfectly , I have broad shoulders and a larger chest and it was  so  forgiving !!  Felt so feminine! MY favorite rental to date. 5'2 130 34d 26 jeans ( for sizing reference )
