The lace is great and the wrist detail is absolutely beautiful! Wore this for my small, oceanside wedding in September. Based on other reviews, I sized up for the back up and ended up wearing it.  The sleeves were super tight on my normal size.  The fit was still a little funny.  It's as if the lining was too big for the dress so it bunched up/folded inward near the bust and crotch. I don't think it was very noticeable, but it bugged me a bit.  It was still a good choice and I don't regret going with this option because it was the most "me."

True to size (medium), a little snug around the waist but not uncomfortable. This dress was soooo beautiful and I felt amazing in it. Absolutely recommend. 

Definitely order up a size - it was tight but fit me just right. I normally wear a 2 or 4 but the 4 was perfect. I would not have fit in a 2. 

Immaculate details, especially the sleeves, neckline, and ribbon waist. It was a little small in the waist for my rectangular body, but still a great dress. 

I was considering this as a wedding dress, but I chose a different option. It looked fine, but it just wasn't my style. 

This was a perfect ivory lace courthouse wedding dress. I ordered a size 14 and 16 and I went with the 14 with a good body shaper underneath. There is no give in the fabric so I would suggest sizing up. I normally wear a 10 pants but have a broad upper body. The zipper can be stiff.  Be careful zipping. It can get stuck in the lace.  Loved it. Classic and beautiful 

I ended up renting this last minute as a replacement for another dress and I'm so glad that I did! This dress is stunning. I received compliments throughout the entire party! I wore this to my bridal shower. It is the perfect dress for a daytime event. As previous reviews stated, this dress is tight and does not stretch so definitely order a size up if you want to be able to breathe in it. Truly felt like a bride in this outfit and wish there was another opportunity for me to wear it!

Even I was surprised at how nice it fit! I loved how it came out and how my pictures looked! It was super cute and it wasn't too formal where I felt awkward walking around downtown in it. You can dress it up or down. Super simple. Only issue I had with it was the the collar...I couldn't get it to stick up properly so I just ironed them down so it would be uniform :/ 

Comfortable, classy, can be dressed way up or kept simple, not too short, beautiful detailing on the lace and edges, though beware of how it is hung - hangers can easily get stuck in the lace!

Absolutely loved this dress! The sleeves and neckline were my absolute favorites of this dress. I wear a true size 10/12 street size and had to get a size 18W. I am a 38D and very broad so the 14 and 16 were very tight. Got so many compliments this is such a gorgeous dress!

Rented this dress for a church marriage blessing and got so many compliments! The dress runs very small!! I'm a 12 and after reading other reviews got the 16 and it fit perfect. I'm also tall but this was not too short, was perfect for 75 and sunny weather on a fall day. Highly recommend!!

I wore this dress for my engagement photoshoot. The neutral color and lace photographed very well for night time photos. The detailing around the collar and wrists are beautiful. This dress did run very small. I normally wear a 12 but the reviews said to size up. There was not a 14 available so I took a chance with a 16 expecting it to be too large. It was not. Two sizes up fit perfectly. I would not have been able to fit into the 14. 

I ended up in a larger size than typical for me, but it was lovely.  The lace cuffs were a standout detail.  It is short, but I wanted to show off my legs, so that wasn't an issue for me.

I wore this for my courthouse wedding back in March 2021. At the time I was usually a size 16-18 and I had to size up to a 22. I would size up especially if you are busty or/and carry weight in midsection. If you are shorter or avg height, the sleeves will be a little long but they are so beautiful it was worth it. I got so many compliments and the dress photographed beautifully! only dropping a star because the dress has no wiggle room and runs super small.

I run in between an 8 and a 10 and the 10 just fit. If you run in between sizes, get the bigger one. I have a long torso, so the skirt ended up being just about as short as I’m comfortable going. There was no bending over in it 😂 The slip is very opaque, so you don’t have to worry about anything being see through. The lacework on both the body/sleeves and collar/wrists was beautiful and sturdy! I couldn’t do the zip by myself, so enlisted the help of someone else for it. I loved this dress; it fit our tiny celebration so well, and I got so many compliments on it. 

the sleeves were a little tight and I have very skinny arms but it fitted me perfectly specially in the hips. It felt like it was made for me lol 

Love love this dress. Was perfect for our microwedding: the dress was formal, modest, but not old feeling. I knew it was the one when I tried it on! I would say that I have an athletic build on my upper body so I did size up so that the sleeves weren’t skin tight. Love this dress! 

The dress is beautiful, the lace fabric is delicate, and overall nice details. Size 6 fit perfectly and would not have been able to fit anything smaller, there is no give, no stretch in any part of the dress. It's a beautiful design, but I didn't end up wearing this dress which I added as a back up. Overall just gorgeous, but I was looking for something simple and the lace wrist cuff was a little too much. Would still recommend renting this though. 

Wore this for my engagement party and it was a little snug probably could have gone up a size but loved it! 

I read the reviews and saw this runs one size large. I normally wear a 6 and rented an 8 and it fit perfectly! Very comfortable. I wore it all day for my wedding.

very helpful review for us shorter gals :)

Wore this to my bridal shower and got so many compliments! I rented both the 8 and 10 and typically a size 8. I ended up wearing the 10 because the bottom was just PERFECTLY tight to my body in the hips and I didn't want to be too uncomfortable when sitting. The 10 was just a tad big in the chest area but overall it didn't really seem to noticeable and it didn't bother me. Highly recommend!! I'm very short and the length was still super flattering.

I rented this for my bridal shower. I would say runs a tad small as I usually wear a 4 but it was really tight in the sleeves and around the neck so I ended up wearing the 6 which fit perfectly. I also have a small bust and I'm not sure it would have worked if I was much larger in the chest. The detail on the dress is amazing and I got so many compliments! Would definitely recommend for any wedding event as I felt like a bride :) 

This beautiful dress was perfect. Currently 7 months pregnant and still growing. The dress isn't white like I thought. It's cream, but still beautiful. I typically wear a size 8, but again, with my growing body(baby) , I still had plenty of room to move around in and still feel comfortable. I would definitely wear this again and recommend for a special occasion. 

The dress does run small. So be gracious with sizing up! 

The dress is beautiful and comfortable. I wore it with a skin color bra and you couldn't see it at all under the lace pattern. The 10 was way too big in the torso and the lace top part of the back hung down loosely. The 8 was great in the hips, but it's meant for someone with a slightly longer torso. It wasn't too noticeable, but the chest part hung a little low on me. The sleeves were long as well, but it really works with the style of the dress. Overall my experience with the rental was great. The dresses even arrived a few days early. I would love to see more petite styles on this website, although overall the selection was great. 

Not the best fit for athletic bodies, absolutely stunning. Decided to wear something else. 

I rented this dress for my shower. Didn't end up wearing it just because I ended up wearing a different rental piece instead. But I loved this. The fit is great. And has a liner so you can wear a bra easily. I have a larger bust and the 4 fit perfectly. 

Rented for rehearsal dinner, but didn't end up wearing. I found the dress appeared antiquated and the sleeves were very tight 

This dress is so pretty in person and I got so many compliments! I wore it for my Fall rehearsal dinner with booties to make it more casual and just loved it. Was a little lose so might have been able to size down, but was worried that would make it too short for the event. Photographed so nicely! 

Rented for our wedding ceremony. It was very comfortable and appropriate. Got a lot of compliments. 

This dress is wo beautiful nd elegant will love to buy it. 

I ordered this dress in a size 6 & 8 usually what I wear. The day it came in I tried it on and it did not fit I couldn't even get it passed my knees. Mind you it was almost 7 at night on a Friday and I was getting married that Sunday. I called customer service in a panic because that is what I was wearing for our elopement. She apologized and had two dresses shipped to me by 12 o'clock Saturday no charge. I ended up being in a size 12 because of my hips. Otherwise the dress was gorgeous and was everything I wanted. Something simple yet classy.  Best customer service I have ever received. Will definitely be ordering dress for other events I have to attend! 

The dress ran a little small in the waist and arms and a little big in the bust, but was overall very comfortable. I got so many compliments, it was perfect for my engagement party!

I sized up based on other reviews, and I'm glad I did because it fit really well. I wore a strapless bra with it, but I think a regular bra would be fine as the lace designs are pretty big. My only complaint would be that the lace around the neck did not lay right. Otherwise it was perfect. 

I wore this to my courthouse wedding and received a ton of compliments, it's comfy and classy. I did have to size up though because of my bigger hips, but overall this dress is amazing, I wish I had an occasion to wear it again! 

I rented this as a backup to my bridal shower dress and just like the other one more.  

The fit was true to size. I have a large bust and I couldn't wear a bra due to the lace shoulders but the dress has nice lining and is formed in the chest, so this wasn't a problem. I felt both sexy and covered up because the lace shows some cleavage if you look closely, but I still felt comfortable in church. It was mid-thigh on me (5'9") and worked great with panty hose. I loved this dress, it was perfect. My measurements are 35-26-36 an a size 4 fit perfectly. I also tried on the size 6 and it was just a little big in the waist and didn't show much definition. 

Waist part is a big small so I sized up. 

My grandma always said that curvy girls shouldn't wear white. I proved her wrong today. The fabric is strong. The cut and fit are perfect. I am so glad I tried this dress on!

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and it was great! I wore a size 2 and it was still a little large around the waist. The zipper was also tricky around the waist ribbon and it needed to be slightly forced to get past the seam. Aside from that I would rent this dress again for another event!
