Flattering, versatile
I LOVED this dress and got a lot of compliments - a few friends even told me I should buy it. I wore it for a rehearsal dinner and it was the perfect vibe for the fall Michigan weather and outdoor photos. I paired it with black suede block heel boots and a little leather jacket. Like others have said, it does run small but was super comfortable and really sucks you in.

Great piece - with some tweaks
I rented this for a daytime birthday party (and also got a second wear out of it) but wore it the only way I'd recommend - as a waistcoat. Seriously, don't try to wear it as a dress but rather as a layering piece. This would need at least two more buttons on the bottom to truly be considered a dress. I styled this with leather leggings and a thin, striped turtleneck for work. I planned to wear it with skinny jeans for the party but ended up having to throw turtleneck underneath again due to the frigid temps we're having in Chicago. So it was skinnys, a fitted black turtleneck and a gold collar necklace. I'm 5'4 and the vest came to just above my knees. Also, if you're going to wear this on its own (without a shirt), just have a bit of fashion tape on hold to hold the lapels in place.

Beautiful quality piece and so versatile
Man, this is a gorgeous skirt. I rented it for my sister's wedding shower but also wore it to work. I styled it with a chunky knit cream turtleneck and mules for work and an emereld green crewneck sweater and a few broaches for the shower. I got the 10 to be safe, as I'm a bit hippy and pencils aren't always my friend. There was plenty of room in this one and I actually think I may have been happy with the 8 (which wasn't available). Just one word of warning: I'm 5'4 and this was basically ankle length. I would absolutely rent it again!

Great dress but one problem...
I rented this dress for a big day at work and didn't realize until I was commuting in that it had a serious case of ingrained BO. Like, bad. I would definitely rent it again because it's just the right amount of unusual but the one that I was sent should be taken out of the rotation.

Can't wait to rent again...and again, and again
I LOVE this piece. I wore it with dark skinny jeans, black chunky heels and a gold necklace. Perfect for work and dinner with girlfriends after. Looking forward to renting it again this fall/winter to pair with a white button down, leather leggings and booties.

What a stunner!
Now, I can't say that I found this dress particularly comfortable but...it was worth it! I did end up going with the larger size, as I'm a bit hippier and it allowed for a better fit on the lower half. Unfortunately, then, the bust area was a bit large. It's a beautiful dress with just enough of a "wow" factor but may be better suited to a more straight up and down body type. Still, if you're on the fence about this dress, do it!

You must rent this dress
I wore this amazing dress on a date night. It's stunning, flattering, so expensive looking - I really can't say enough positive things. Seriously, just rent it! Just keep in mind, though, that if you're in colder temps, you'll need to wear a cape coat as well.

Cute dress but didn't end up wearing it
I rented this dress for my baby shower after trying it on at the local Rent the Runway store. I must have been out of my mind because while this is a great piece and the scuba material is very stretchy/versatile, I cannot recommend this dress for a pregnant belly. In fairness, the pattern was never really my cup of tea but the darker option wasn't available on my selected dates; I do think that one would have been a better option. With that being said, if you're attending a daytime event and looking for a pretty dress, this is definitely it. I would recommend sizing down, though.

Very, very pretty dress with a sweet watercolor print
I wore this dress to a family wedding when I was six months pregnant with twins and just starting to show, which is an awkward stage. I would recommend it to other preggos but it's just a great dress in general and I can picture it being flattering on almost all body types. I topped it off with grey suede pumps for the mass and metallic silver heels for the reception. If you're on the fence about this dress, go for it but size down. Lastly, I will say that I wore it bloused over so you didn't see that strip of pink/flesh colored fabric. In person, I thought that was just more flattering.

Wore is piece to a rehearsal dinner and definitely recommend it for a pop of color.
I rented this dress to add a little something to the Tibi Zebra Maze Dress. I do tend towards larger pieces and this is definitely more in the "medium" range. Because I wore this to a formal rehearsal dinner I wouldn't have minded more of a statement, but it definitely did the trick and added some color to the dress.

Wore this great little dress for a girls night. So cute with black tights and booties.
I did have to size up because there was no give/stretch around the hips. The 8 worked but I wanted to be comfortable, as I was taking this dress from day (work) to night.

Like, not love
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner and while I liked this dress, I can't say that I loved it. The fabric was really nice and thick, but as other renters mentioned, the fit was just off and there's no give in the material. I am a bit hippy and because of that I wore the larger size, but then the top was too big. I would recommend this dress for someone with a boyish figure.

Stunning chunky cocktail ring
This is a really beautiful cocktail ring. I wore it with a blush bridesmaid dress and it was a perfect compliment. It's big, so I would plan to keep the earrings understated, but you could definitely manage a bracelet with it.

Pretty, no-nonsense dress
This is just a pretty dress, plain and simple. I wore it with a black blazer and black boots to scout locations for my wedding. It's not a show stopper but it was perfect for what I was looking for.

Stunning, classic dress
I wore this dress to my engagement party. I love that it's covered up and conservative in the front but more modern in the back. The material is sturdy and the dress feels incredibly well made.

I wore this dress to a wedding and received a LOT of compliments. It definitely made a statement! Ultimately, though, I wasn't happy with the quality of the fabric (especially the lace, which I thought would be more delicate). To me, it felt and looked cheap up close. More like a $75 dress than a $450 dress...
