I wanted to buy!

The fabric was high quality, which just makes you feel and look even better. Perfect cinch at the waist. Would have bought but too expensive.

Modest, practical multi-purpose dress!

I wore this to a baby shower, work event, and a dinner! It has a great tie to create some definition at the waist. It is a great dress to travel with as it wouldn’t wrinkle at all.

Comfortable, classy, and covers the mama pooch

Fabric is airy, light, and doesn’t wrinkle! The tie across the waist snatches you in and the flare is good for obscuring the mama pooch and pear or hourglass frames. Wore it for an important work meeting and felt confident!

Effortless, classy, but still unique.

Hard to describe, but it’s the dress I would wear on a day I feel like nothing will look nice on me, wear this and feel perfectly at home 😊 Very beautiful design and the quality is remarkable. It’s reminds me of both my Colombian & Indian heritage which is hard to find. Loved it!

Conference week- beautiful

Had a week long conference where I wanted to have a range of work friendly but still fun outfits. The weather was classic NYC spring weather (warm, cold, sunny, rainy, all within an hour) so it was hard to know how to dress. Thankfully this dress works for all weather and feels so well constructed. Definitely would rent again

Adding to my work rental rotation

This dress hit all the marks!! Flattering, comfortable, and a really pretty print. I also LOVE a dress that doesn’t wrinkle so no steaming before wearing. The tie in the front nicely accentuates the waist. As noted in the header I will absolutely be renting this again.

Really good but not great

Silky light fabric. Flattering fit except the tie added unnecessary bulk at the narrowest part of waist.

Solid for work

I liked this but not as much as I thought I would. Nice liked the adjustable waist with the the but it somehow made the chest area seem too big. Solid wear though.

Pretty patter, nice fit, good waist definition. But it didn’t excite me that much. On the fence about renting it again.

Loved it!! I wore it to work a few times and received a lot of compliments. There was a bit of gapping with the buttons on my chest area but I was able to safety pin it and it was fine.
