So comfy, fits like a glove, received tons of compliments. 

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in the fall and got tons of compliments. It kept me warm throughout the ceremony and was stretchy and flattering. 

I love the dress so rich and fabric and it was just the right warm for this cold freezing weather

The material is so lux. I felt so secure (big boobs) and comfortable (not skin tight on tummy). There was a great flow to the material and slit by leg was just right. Wore to two different Christmas parties (in freezing weather) and the velvet like material was perfect. 

This dress was stunning and comfortable! I loved the unique neckline and it was very appropriate for a holiday party! You will definitely need a strapless bra and maybe some fashion tape to keep it in place. 

Based on the reviews I was prepared to have a time getting in and out of the dress. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. I wore a 4 that fit well but I would have been interested to see how the 6 fit. Would rent again for a fall/winter dressy event! I got so many compliments on it.

This dress was lovely for a fall wedding! I got so many compliments and it fit the venue so well. Definitely size up as it had no stretch. As other reviewers mentioned, it was definitely challenging to get on and required some help, but it was well worth it. Once it was on, though, it was quite comfortable and not too tight around the neck. Highly recommend this one, I felt amazing all night and was sad to send it back!

I loved this dress so much. It fit like a glove and was such a thick and well made dress. The hole actually looks like it does in the photos and I got so many compliments! Wore it for our holiday cards and would purchase if it wasn’t so expensive! 

Listen to the other review - you need a buddy to help get this dress on! Ran a bit tight and took a lot of patience but once it was on it was stunning.  Wore to a company party and received so many compliments. Very attractive but tasteful cut. 

I was worried about this dress with the reviews but it ended up working out! I wore this to a black tie optional wedding & received so many compliments on it. It was a more difficult dress to get on (and I do recommend doing your hair and makeup before) but it’s a really sturdy material so it can take some pulling/adjusting to get on. I did need help getting the neck secured. I ordered two sizes (normal and one larger) and ended up going with my normal size. 

First, the fit of this dress is PERFECT, I felt good and looked good and got many compliments. It may by my favorite dress I’ve ever rented for a wedding. BUT. This dress has absolutely no stretch, and it takes a lot of work to get on, especially if you have an athletic back or shoulders. Wait to do your hair and makeup until it’s on, but once you put it on you’ll never want to take it off. I took away one star only because of how difficult it is to get into.

The dress clearly fits, but it is clear that the designer never had anyone try and put this dress on before settling on the final design. Not only does it need a zipper, there are 6 small hooks to close the neck - One should earn a prize if you can hook them all yourself. Don’t rent if you won’t have help getting it on.

This dress is gorgeous but it has no zipper so you need to size up at least one size to be able to get this over your head. I was able to get on the 4 but it took at least 5 tries to get it over my shoulders and boobs. 

Rented for a formal gala, the slit across the chest goes so far it does preclude any bra with straps. You'll need help getting the neck part hooked. 

This dress is so pretty in person and comfortable. But to put it on was a struggle! Definitely do your hair and makeup after putting the dress on! 

Fits very nicely. Gorgeous luxe brown velvet- perfect for fall or winter. 

Lots of compliments at my holiday party. 

Hard to get on/off because the waist is fitted very tight (but comfortable once on)

Fit just right, loved the length. Sexy without showing too much. 

I wish I could have bought it! this dress was gorgeous and fit like a glove. It was a tad large in the chest area, but I'll definitely rent this again!

Wore this for a fall wedding and it was perfect! Gorgeous, rich brown color and very flattering. Loved that it wasn't form-fitting in the stomach area and that it was bra friendly while still having a little bit of a sexy/interesting detail with the cutout (front and back). Loved it! If you're between sizes I would say you could size down. I'm a 10/12 right now and wore the 10!

A two man dress for sure! Once on it looked so flattering 

Fit perfectly, just need someone to properly do the clips on the neck! So many compliments and so many people asking where it was from. If you're on the fence, just do it. 

Definitely not the easiest to put on, so I recommend sizing up just for that peace of mind. But loved it otherwise. Neck hooks are hard to do without help.

Fit great for a party and loved wearing in. I just had some trouble with the height of the slit and the cut at the top fit oddly. But it was very nice!

This dress was beautiful and great quality.  So many compliments. Gold platform heels were a great compliment! 

This dress is absolutely amazing! Hugs you in all the right places, gives you the hourglass shape and while it covers so much it’s got plenty of sexy. I had it on multiple times. Couldn’t get enough of it. 

Beautiful. 
I could have worn it to a Gala but instead I wore it to Easter Brunch at Tavern on The Green.

Yes it takes a minute to get into but when it’s on, I feel like a million bucks. Gorgeous color.
