I loved this dress so much for my friend's outdoor wedding. The smaller size 8 became unavailable for some reason (I ordered the rental months in advance) so I had to choose a new backup, but I went with the larger size anyway. It was a little baggy but worked really well and wasn't too short, when the 8 might have been. It was a really fun dress that I paired with yellow earrings and bright pink lipstick. Super lightweight, super comfortable, really fun with a unique slit in the side. Looks great in pictures and I got a ton of compliments all night. My favorite rental so far through RTR for sure. Loved it so much I bought it on ebay! 

I loved the versatility in this dress! I wore it for everyday use, work, as well as parties! It's comfortable but looks super stylish!

This dress is so pretty. Good for every day but you want to look a little more polished. Wore with nude heels and pearl jewelry to dress it up. Fit is great. I'm small framed in the back, shoulders and arms. The slit is a little high so when sitting I brought a cardigan to drape over my legs to prevent any undergarment showings. 

I rented this dress for a bridal shower. I loved it!! The pattern was fun, and the colors were bright without being too bold. The slit on the side and zipper down the back gave it personality that I loved! Little details :) My only con for the dress is the lining underneath was short!! I felt like if I bent over just slightly my butt would show. Thankfully at the event it was mostly sitting, so I didn't have an issue. Overall I loved it!! 

I liked the print of this dress, but it was a little short for my taste. The sleeves were tight and it was tight across the hips. Pear shapes should size up.

Shape is a shift - but it was a bit smaller than expected for an 8, didn't look quite as nice as I had hoped.  The neckline is higher and fell at my usual preferred necklace length, so you have to wear the necklace lower otherwise it would get caught underneath.   The inside slip/liner was torn near the zipper and near the armhole, but not visible outside so I still wore it for Easter Sunday.  The hemline adds nice interest and since I'm short, I din't find it too short.  I'm 5'3" 34A 135'.  Overall, I'm not sure why it didn't quite work -  maybe the slip/liner was of a poor material and ill-fitted to the dress IDK? The floral fabric was nice, and the design looked good on the model - just not as good on me I guess :(

I gave this shift a 5/5 because it's casual cool at its best, but the top was a little tight. I'm a 34D and had to wear a sports bra to minimize things, but don't think I️t looked bad. Too cute with sandals or white tennis shoes and a jean jacket!

This dress was great! I'm usually between a 4 & 6 so I rented both. The 6 was too boxy but the 4 fit everywhere except for being slightly tight across the lap, so I wore a belt. It is definitely short when sitting, but my work event was mostly standing. Beautiful pattern and a great cut for any body style. 

Perfect casual summer wedding/event dress. Great length, comfy and light material. Not too short and the print was even prettier in person!

Fit well. I have an hourglass figure and the shape isn't very flattering for me, but I knew that when I ordered, so I paired it with a belt, which looked good. I'm only 5 feet tall and this dress was short on me, so beware if you're average height or taller haha. The size 8 fit well, I'd say true to size. I wasn't ready for anything too fitted, Bc I'm about 8 months postpartum and not loving my current body, but this dress made me feel good! 

Fun party dress with a cute leg slit on the side. I wore this with blush heels and a pink long necklace to  "welcome drinks" for a wedding. Note, it is not very formal, but great for a date night or party. I ended up going with the smaller size (2) as the 4 looked more shapeless on me. Overall great shift!

Dress is so easy to wear for an occasion - dresses up or down. Beautiful pattern and fabric. The dress slots at the slit to give you more range and leg movement, but it is definitely short when sitting down. I felt like the bottom layer of the dress was often bunching/riding up.

Flows so nicely and has a slight slit which added a little fun. Wore with flats but could have dressed it up easily. Wore to work and felt great without having to get all dolled up. 

This dress was a classic shift dress; I chose to belt it in order to give myself a bit of a waist. I chose to wear 1 size up from my normal size because it does run pretty short. I'm 5'8 and needed to wear my shapewear a few inches higher than normal just to make sure it wouldn't stick out below the hem. Still, this was a fantastic dress; very comfortable and stylish. I would absolutely rent it again.

Sleeves are snug, as well as the slip around the hips but these loosed throughout the evening. Comfy and didn't wrinkle. I was worried this would be short, but even with wedges it was a comfortable length.

This felt like a particularly baggy shift dress and I needed to wear a cropped jacket to give it some shape. Also, when sitting, the slit does seem a little high. Otherwise high quality and beautiful print! Might rent again.

Ended up having to use my backup size because it was a little tight in the shoulders. The print was stunning, and the dress was incredibly comfortable. Easy to dress-up with simple gold jewelry. Other reviews wrote about the annoying slip attached underneath the dress, but I had no issues with it. Loved the fun and flirty slit on the bottom. Print looked great in pictures, not super flattering in photos though. Overall, great dress! 

Please excuse the ridiculous pictures - I wore this to my friends wine tasting bachelorette party. Loved this dress, initially I was worried it was a little short but it ended up being fine.  I belted it to define the waist as it is a true shift - less curvy girls may not need to.  Comfortable all day, paired with tan wedges.  The fabric does not have any give, lays well and is actually textured (like a ripple?).  Fun dress, could see this working well for any spring/summer party, shower or date night. 

The dress fit great. It was short enough to feel sexy without being overly revealing.

Rented sizes 2 and 4 based on other reviews. I usually wear a size 4 and ended up wearing it. The 2, while more form fitting, was tight on my shoulders. I felt it was true to size. Other than being a little short when sitting or bending down, it was perfect. Not too hot for a warm summer day. Wore this dress to a bridal shower. Photos don't capture the true beauty of the dress. I received many complements and would definitely rent again. Highly recommend!

Loved this dress! I was initially very scared it was not going to fit. It is a dress that requires you put both arms through their respective sleeves at the exact same time. Once on it was super cute! Tight in the breast area for but I have 36DDDs so I expect that. I'm 5'3 and this dress was pushing short on me so I'd be cautious if I was taller. Overall, I love this rental!

This was a fun floral dress that I wore to the office and then out for drinks after work. The dress runs true to size, and the 4 fit me perfectly. I will mention that it is not very fitted in the waist area, but overall super cute and fun!

I liked the pattern, colors, and fit of the dress. I'm usually a 4, but a 2 fit better. There is a lining for this dress that traps the heat, so be aware if you plan to wear this when the weather is hot. The dress is able to be dressed up or down depending on shoes and accessories. Overall, I'd recommend it! 

I wore this at my boyfriend's graduation ceremony and it was great. It does ride up if you have larger hips or a booty so be aware while sitting. Otherwise it made for a great day event dress. It doesn't do much for you though so don't expect it to be anything more than how it looks on the model- simple shift.

Perfect shift dress for a casual (or formal) occasion. Fit was great except if you are curvier on the bottom, you should order a size up as your backup size! 

This dress is super easy to wear and comfortable, can be casual or dressed up, lots of compliments on the pretty fabric. Cute little slit on the knee too. Good for work or a brunch!

The navy florals were so pretty. I had been on the fence about this dress in my unlimited for months scrolling past it every time bc I usually don't like any loose fitted dresses but I decided to pull the trigger & order & honestly it was super flattering! It wasn't like a potato sack dress at all bc it had some swing on the bottom & the little cut out hem was super cute. Also sometimes sheath dresses with sleeves like this don't allow for much movement in your arms/shoulders when you have much for the way of boobs but I had no problem with this dress which is a plus! 

It is a loose fit. I possibly could have work a 4; however then it would have been too short when I sat down. Did have a bit of a smell to it so I tried airing it out as best I could. 

This dress was so cute & comfortable! I wore it underneath my graduation gown. The only con was the slip underneath was shorter than the dress & form fitting, causing the dress to rise up a bit. Overall I would rent again! 

Rented this for a bridal shower, and it was perfect! I loved everything about this dress. I rented a 0 and a 2 but liked the way the 0 fit better (more squarely on the shoulder). I was a little worried about he yellows and my coloring but it looked great! 

The dress material is great! Light and airy, but the under slip fits tight to the body making the outside material bunch if you have wider hips like I do. 

This was exactly what I was looking for, casual but still dressy. I added a belt as it was a little big/lose fitting in the waist

This is a cute shift dress that is probably good for people on the shorter side or those who don't mind a really short dress. I am 5'8", rented a 10, and wouldn't be able to raise my arms over my head without being exposed. Also, the slit in the front causes the rest of the material to fit in an awkward way - it is pretty visible in person and you can sort of see it in the side picture.

Cute dress. Tight in the bust,  but accessorized nicely with a long gold necklace! 

I wore this to a Bridal Shower, and loved it! The print is, in my opinion, stunning, and the fit was very flattering. I am a big t-shirt dress fan, and this checked all of the boxes for me! I can attest to the comments in the other reviews. The skirt was a bit short (made it tricky to pick up the gifts from the ground to hand to the bride), and the chest was a bit tight (I wore a bralette rather than my standard underwire bra).

Loved this dress. Dressy enough and perfect for work, date night or church. Could be worn with flats or heels. Really liked the fit. Some reviews claimed it was too short but for my height it was perfect for a business function with flats and a pop of jewelry

Several reviews indicated dress ran large so I sized down for backup. But I wore my normal size. I did not find it ran large. It was slightly tight across chest and in arms. After a little while it wasn't noticeable anymore. It ended up being a very comfortable dress for a full day of events from outside couples shower to dinner date. I'm glad I picked this rental and would rent again. 

I loved this dress. I rented both the 8 and the 10. The 8 fit but was way too short. I am 5"6 and when sitting I had to make sure the slit stayed closed. It fell really nicely and looked great on my curves. I wore it with cowboy booties because I was on Texas but think it would also look great with sandals. I wish o could by this dress!

The floral print was adorable, but it was super dowdy in me. It just fell in me and I felt like it didn't fit right. I had to use a thin belt with it which I don't like to wear, but it did help it look better. The slit at the bottom is super cute. Great for work but it just really didn't fit my body type.
