Good "looking the part" dress for a formal event
Long and slim fit, this dress made me look like a tall drink of flounced water. I am 5' 6" and wore 3 inch heels, which was just about perfect. Not for flats! It is stretchy and I did wear a strapless bra with it.

Glam choice, could be more fun
This dress is really classy! I like the silky fabric and the big ruffle. It's gone enough coverage for a normal bra. The neckline gaped a bit on me, and it could have been more "fun," not for a formal affair it's a good cocktail-length option!

Here for the pattern
I was very excited about this rental because of the pattern and the cutout detail. I really liked it! The fabric is a little casual, like it would be cute with a demon jacket, but I wore it with heels for a wedding and felt good about it. It's tight around the ribs/waist area so maybe size up.

Cute, casual lil dress
This cute little number is actually 2 pieces, the slip and the patterned dress. It runs small and the skirt hits mid-thigh. It's pretty casual, so I added the blazer for a party with some folks from work. Not the most exciting rental, but for a daytime party it worked well!

Be your own sunshine
The color is definitely the standout with this dress. I honestly never wear yellow, but I wanted to try something different, so I ordered this for a friend's wedding. Got tons of complements because of the brightness! The dress is a bit clingy and doesn't hide much, so I did feel like I was sucking in a lot. It's still good for dancing, though!

Love a good red dress, amiright?
This dress is a super fun, bright red color. The color combined with the asymmetrical hem and sleeves definitely make it a standout! The torso is fitted, and the fabric doesn't give too much, so it can be a bit tight in the waist. I liked wearing this one a lot!

Gorgeous fabric!
This dress is beautifully embroidered- it looks like it's a print in the photos, but the fabric is actually a bit heavier and textured with the embroidered pattern. I liked the flirty shoulder-revealing design. It's not restricting like some cold shoulder dresses can be.

Colorful and comfy
I enjoyed the color and the halter neckline of this dress, but the fabric is not as structured as many sheath-style dresses are. I prefer a little more structure, but it was fun to try something a bit different - and not be constricted on the dance floor!

Wore it for my birthday dinner...and then again the next day for brunch!
Loved this dress. It fit like a glove, and I dressed it up and down. For a nice dinner out, I wore it with nude heels and a camel trench coat. For brunch that same weekend, I wore it with brown booties and a brown bomber jacket. It felt great on both times!

Wore this for a night of back-to-back holiday parties and got tons of compliments!
I wanted something different than the red dresses I always favor - and this was different! It runs small, so use your backup size to go one larger. I ended up wearing the larger of the two sizes I ordered. There is no zipper - you just stretch it on over your head and adjust after. The mesh panels at first made me uncomfortable, but the dress really does cover all the important bits. My boyfriend called it "futuristic Jackie O," and I ended up being really pleased that I tried something new!
