Gorgeous, romantic, long straps
Long straps (had to pin), but so beautiful. Looks better and more formal in person than in photos!

So pretty
Loved the color and fit! Fabric probably would have benefited from a lining but it worked well anyway

Okay
I almost liked the boxy-ness of this, but the shoulders were too wide

I called this my Sound of Music cosplay dress - lots of fabric, the structure was great (did need an extra safety pin for gaping), wore several times with compliments!

Easy to wear
Very comfy and easy to wear! The elastic waist band was great but it made the midi look a little frumpier than a structured waist would have done.

Perfect dress - great length, no gapping in the chest, easy to wear. I wore it as day to night after a work event in Florida.

It was too small through the waist and hips, but too large on top.

Amazing midi-dress
I wore this many times and got frequent compliments. It’s light, comfortable, does not wrinkle a lot, isn’t too stuffy thanks to the v neck but very work appropriate!

Easy to wear, perfect for winter and early spring. The fabric was thicker than I expected, and I thought it would have laid better with a thinner material, but I got so many compliments!

It was so short! Maybe if you have a smaller lower half it would be easier to wear/style but it did not work for me

Needs a belt
Great piece for work or regular life, but the waist hits in a funny place so a belt helps offset that

Glamorous
It was comfortable, fun, but still elegant! So many compliments. There’s a hook-eye closure in the back that hides the bra band if you don’t want to have the open back.

Fun and flattering
Such a fun and flattering summer dress! The double knit fabric was forgiving but also dressed it up into something less casual. I did have to pin the chest as it gapped. Wish I could buy this one!

I should have sized down, but the waist tie cinched things nicely. It was a lighter material than I expected, so it was great to wear in the hot weather!

Lower cut than it looks
It’s super flattering, and probably best for an dressy evening out. I wore it to work not realizing how low cut it was, and I kept having to pull it up in the front. I would happily where it for a different occasion though!

Maybe don’t size up
I probably shouldn’t have sized up (I was having a bloated week), but the drawstring helps cinch the waist and prevent it looking like I’m drowning in the dress. Super fun to wear, light enough for a hot humid day. And pockets!

Pretty pattern but odd fit
The fabric bunched in funny ways instead of laying cleanly. It’s a forgiving silhouette so still pretty easy to wear I just didn’t feel very comfortable in it.

Smaller size gaped in chest
I had initially rented the XL, which was too big but I pulled it off as a more relaxed look. I rented the L, which objectively fit better but the buttons over the chest gaped open, even though it was still a little loose in that area. Only ended up wearing this once with some Bobby pins (couldn’t find safety pins).

I love it!
I loved this dress. It was perfect for vacation but I would have worn it all summer if I could afford to keep it! Such a fun look, easy to wear (but I needed to pin the chest closed), the big sleeves weren’t overpowering.

Lots of compliments
Beautiful dress, easy to wear, heavier fabric and a little more snug than I initially thought. I felt it was pretty but I got a lot of compliments to the effect of keep the dress - I don’t know if that says more about the dress or more current wardrobe - but I wasn’t as over the moon.

Amazing!
I loved this dress. It’s a thicker fabric that lays nicely and you don’t have to worry about rolls or lines. I wore it to a work event (it was a little short but not totally inappropriate) and to dinner with friends. I’d love to rent it again for the fall!

Yeti chic
I should have sized down, but I still enjoyed wearing this coat. It was so warm - I often walked around outside with it unbuttoned, but there were enough buttons to cover up to my neck. Would definitely rent again!

I wore this to a special day at work and then a dinner out with friends. It is very comfortable, tailored a bit at the waist, the poofy sleeves make it a bit unique. I’ll definitely rent this again.

Perfect A-line outfit
I loved wearing this dress. The bodice was form fitting and the skirt was flowy, very forgiving for my pear shape. Skirt is long enough to be work appropriate but the movement makes it flirty enough to wear out afterward.
