I wore the dress for a birthday party! It was cute  and comfortable. I had them send me the dress in a size 12 and 14. Although I am usually a 14, the 12 was a great fit especially at the top since I have a smaller top frame. I would wear this dress again!!

I used this dress for my engagement pictures and it was super comfortable and the bright red really popped. The cutouts add some interest to the otherwise simple dress. You can dress it down with flats or up with heels. I wish I had ordered the 0 as a backup size instead of the 4, as the 4 was way too big and the 2 was a little loose. I would definitely rent it again. 

I rented this dress for a friend's wedding and it was perfect! The color is beautiful and it's fitted through the waist with a little flare around the hips.  I am only 5'2" so it hit just above the knee. It may be quite short on someone taller. 

Dress was shapeless and the cut-outs don’t add much. Regretted renting this and went with another dress. 

I think it is a true 14 but it fits very close on my lower half. The armholes kind of gaped open. It just didn't work.

Beautiful color, flattering cut, loose in abs and hips, interesting detail on left shoulder in front and back as well as in front on waist. I am tempted to purchase this one!

Definitely a head turner with the bright color and cute cutouts.

I LOVE THIS DRESS! It is one of the most flattering I've ever had on my body. I have hips for days and this slimmed my midsection and then fell over my lower half perfectly. Steaming the left leg detail was important otherwise it can look like a bag. Prefect shade of red! Highly recommend. 

This was the second time I rented this dress. I got it as my backup because I'd worn it before but I just loved it so much I had to wear it a second time! It was so flattering and made me feel like I had a small waist while also keeping things modest up top (I'm a bit busty). The color was terrific and I got so many compliments! Five stars for sure

This is one of those dresses I wish I had in 5 colors. The fit is so flattering and it lays in all the right places!

I am smaller up top with wider hips so this dress was perfect for me. I got so many compliments and couldn't be happier with it. I just wish I owned it. 

I wore this for a Red For Ed protest for teachers at my child's school. I had to go to work afterward and this was the perfect versatile piece. The material is thick and wrinkles easy.  It fit true to size. 

I rented this dress for my daughter to wear to the American Heart Association Go Red Luncheon. It's beautiful. Fit well and was comfy. She's 5'1" and the length was at her knees. She looked so pretty. 

I love this shade of red and this dress was surprisingly comfortable. I really like the shoulder cutout and the ruffle because it doesn't take over the whole dress. It hit at my knee at 5'5" so it would be good for a cute but conservative look.

Comfortable classy red dress but fit slightly looser than I like. Otherwise, great dress!!

So the dress is a great color, fits true to size, is comfortable and an easy outfit for work. I got a number of compliments! But I couldn't put my finger on why I didn't love it until my friend said that it looks like a cheerleader uniform...and that was it exactly. Maybe a little too girly for my style or something? I don't know, it's flattering and fits well and all, but I'm not sure it was completely my style. 

I would have given this five stars but it runs big. I had to put a belt with it because it was just hanging off my waist.  I'm usually a true 2 and if anything big in the waist, so I feel like it's the dress. Size down.  Otherwise, this is a great dress, super comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

This dress is very comfortable.
The cut is original and the front looks interesting. The two cut outs in the front and back don't show the bra.

Loved this dress. It was comfortable and just formal enough. Got a lot of compliments . Fit a little loose but I still wore it.

I like the cutout, just need to wear the right bra so strap doesn't show through. I just wish the skirt were longer. This hit me above the knee. 

I got this dress, tried it on, and didn't end up wearing it. Big waste of money but probably my own fault. The dress just felt overly formal. Maybe if I needed to wear it to a business event, it may have gone over better but honestly it scared me from using this platform again. I really need to be able to try something on before having to commit to spending money on it. Like flushing $60 down the toilet. For the record, it wasn't a bad dress just not at all right for me. I wanted something fun and flirty and this just wasn't it.

Dress fit well, could have possibly gone one size down. Was nice for my company holiday party. 

Tried this on in the store when my online selections didn't work out. Flattering cut and color, not too short. Comfortable all night. 

This dress fit perfectly, even for someone as petite as I am. The quality of the material was great. Wish I had remembered to take pictures.

I didn't love when I put it on but got so many compliments wearing it. Ended up loving the shape. 

This dress is comfortable and pretty. I love the shoulder details. The silhouette is feminine but also unique. You can wear a standard bra which is a plus. The lining underneath felt a little short, it is much shorter then the dress.

I rented this dress to wear to a rehearsal dinner, but I ended up wearing it to work one day as well with a blazer over it. It fits true to size and is very comfortable. I am considering buying it. 

Had to go to a brunch at a country club for a work event- prefect dress!

Wore this for a wedding. Fit perfect and I loved it!


The dress is super comfy yet lovely with the cut out details. I really like the pleats at the waist. I didn't notice that until trying it on. But the pleats added a very fun twist to the dress. The bust was a little loose though. 

This looked fine on me, and fit well, but I ended up not wearing it because my bra strap kept showing through the small cut out at the top. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to hide. Fashion tape might have worked, but I didn't have any, and wasn't about to spend time at work constantly checking to see if it was showing. 

Dress was modest on top, even w cut outs.  I wore to work with cardigan over.  Was a little on short side-a few inches above knee.  The pleats in front made in interesting too but did get wrinkly.  Roomy fit, I wouldnt say to size down, just that it's not a skin tight fit (which is good).
