Rehearsal Dinner Dress
I loved wearing this for our rehearsal dinner! I received so many comments about how beautiful the dress was (and that my wedding gown the following day had some big shoes to fill). There was some extra room in the waist, but it still looked and felt very tailored.
Glengarry Dress

Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 7"

I ended up wearing a dress I already had due to the very odd fit of this dress
The arms were snug, but the rest of the dress (size 8) was like a potato sack; not flattering; not worn; not recommending

Easy Breezy
Loved the length (which was balanced by the high neck), a little heavier material (which was perfect for a 60 degree night), and the fun Pom details on the cold shoulders. I got so many compliments on this dress and will definitely rent again!

Conversation Piece
Love the look of this dress in photos, but it wasn't the most comfortable dress (at all). Very fitted (size up), in order to make the length work I did 4.5 inch shoes w/.5 inch platform. I got stopped numerous times throughout the evening asking about the dress and the designer--lots of compliments. Wouldn't rent it again (again super uncomfortable) but so happy I did for this specific event.

Flattering AF
I rented this for a casual work function (that turned into drinks at a bier haus) (pictured). The dress itself is incredibly flattering, the material is very heavy, and if I could get again… I would definitely size down. The medium, being as big as it was, wasn't quite the look that I was hoping for. The detailing (grommets, etc.) absolutely makes the dress stand out and fun. Not a show stopper but fun for a casual evening out.

Jungle Casual
For a casual dress, it garners a lot of attention and compliments. The dress itself ran slightly big (I wore a Medium) I would have been fine sizing down...however I loved the length (right above my knee with heels (I'm 5'7) and the neckline was great. I would definitely rent this again if the need for animal print ever arises.

MLB Game Perfection
I rented this for my first Chicago Cubs game… Would definitely rent it again, or buy it, with or without a game to attend! Probably the most flattering dress I've ever rented: The cut, the style, the fit were perfect for being outdoors… and the material was not overly heavy (so it didn't make a rooftop brunch, followed by a game, overheated). A win for me (and ironically enough, the Cubs won too)!

Show Stopping (albeit subtle) Sequins
I rented this for a girls trip to Chicago (and based on prior reviews went with a large instead of medium). It photographed well, but I couldn't say the same about the fit. I was constantly fidgeting trying to pull it down while sitting, standing, walking, etc. (on the plus size it fit my chest to my waist like a glove)...Glad I rented it, it was perfect one and done dress… And definitely stole the show, but it's not a dress I would rent again!

Wonderful White
I wore this for a girls trip to CHI (where I ran into a dear friend from home outside bar restaurant… So we had to snap a picture, consequently the only picture I got in this amazing dress (was with him))! I loved the fit everywhere but the chest--I went with and 8 and it was so tight in the chest, but fit perfectly and comfortably everywhere else! I would rent again in a heartbeat--and recommend to pair st tropez bronzing mousse with it the few days leading up to really own it!

Patriotic Home Run
I rented this for a patriotic sort of fundraiser… I got so many compliments on the color, the fit was incredibly flattering, and I didn't feel like I had to suck in the entire morning. I would definitely wear flats due to the length... and probably wouldn't rent it again since it's so trendy! But I loved it, and loved how many of my friends, and strangers loved it too!

Short Lived
I was so excited about this dress… And incredibly disappointed when I tried it on. It fit perfectly with the exception of the length--it hit right where my butt meets my legs (is there a term for that)...so due to the fit and heat (otherwise I may have worn it with leggings or jeans) I didn't get to wear this number.

Punchy Pink
The dress was longer than I expected; and I didn't notice the shoulder cutouts when selecting it... however I loved the fit and style (easy and breezy) for a 100+ degree day. Super comfy; didn't wrinkle; and was a show stopper without looking like I was trying too hard. I sized up and should have stayed true to size on this pretty number!
