Pleasantly surprised
I loved this dress. I had searched forever and then came across this and was automatically drawn to it. I'm 5'10 and was able to wear 2.5in heels and it was the perfect length. The slit and keyhole made me feel sexy without being too much. (I'm also 4.5 months postpartum and it made me feel really comfortable). I ended up just wearing pasties/petals and never felt like I was falling out. I loved the color and flow, and would definitely recommend it! I do feel like it might be best for girls with a longer torso. A shorter one might make the top saggy/gap a bit more. Overall, a super stunner.

LOVED this dress
I rented this for a wedding when I was 12 weeks postpartum and it made me feel so great. The wrap fit well, and there was a snap on the front if you don't want it as low (I'm probably a C cup now and it wouldn't stay snapped, but I had a black bra on under and you couldn't tell-- just FYI if you're a bit busty). I loved the feminine ruffle at the bottom and I feel like it could be dressed up or down. So comfortable and I would definitely recommend and rent again!

Definitely size up
I was so excited about this dress, but didn't end up wearing it. I can normally handle low cut dresses since I am smaller busted, but the 6 was super tight and the 8 felt lower cut than I was comfortable with. Also, since it buttons all the way up, I had a little pull/gapping on the bust (which again is weird since I'm about a B cup). I would maybe suggest one if not two sizes up for this. But it is a gorgeous dress overall and I would still recommend. I'll probably rent again, but just a larger size-- It's definitely do-able!

Pretty, but not my style
I got this necklace as a "surprise" add on to my order during the holidays. The stylists paired it with a black jumpsuit I rented. It's a really pretty piece, but I didn't end up wearing it. I felt a little constricted/choked since it is a thicker choker that I wasn't used to wearing. But it is a solid necklace/great quality, and would be a great thing to rent for a nice occasion!

Great little black jumpsuit
I really liked this jumpsuit. I'm 5'10, so it's hard to find some that fit well. It hit me at a fairly natural waist, however, it did pucker up a little bit. It hit right above my ankle, but I just wore it with nude pumps and did't feel like it was an awkward length. I will say, the cold shoulder/arms are pretty restricting. I paired with a white leather jacket for a Christmas party, and ended up taking my arms out of the arm-holes, wearing it as a tube-top and keeping my jacket on all evening. Which still was super great! I just wanted to be able to move a little bit more. Great material overall, and I think for the price you can't go wrong.

Tall girl maxi for the win
I LOVE this dress, and got so many compliments on it! I'm 5'10 and normally steer clear of maxis, but after reading reviews, I'm so glad I went ahead and rented it. I normally wear a 6, and rented the MR and ML. The regular would have worked, but I like my dresses a little longer so I wore the long with sandals. The dress has structure, but the sides/back have some stretch in them, which made it a perfect fit. So comfortable-- I would definitely rent again in a heart beat!

Perfect accessory
I rented this to pair with a dress (I also rented) for Easter Sunday. I love Kendra Scott, but haven't splurged on this type of bold piece yet. It was the perfect touch for my outfit, and I got some compliments on it too! It's a hardy necklace, but not too heavy where it hurt my neck or anything; super comfortable to wear for the whole day. I'll definitely be renting this piece again, maybe even in a different color. I loved it!

This outfit was perfect
I rented this dress (and necklace), for Easter Sunday with the family. It was so perfect for a little day dress and I got so many compliments on it! I rented a medium and large, and ended up wearing the large; which is pretty true to size. I'm about 5'9/ 5'10, and the length was perfect. It's hard to find something at a decent length that I feel comfortable in. The fabric was light weight and soft, and the pattern was just different enough for me to stand out. I was so sad to send it back because I loved it so much!

Perfect first rental
I absolutely LOVE this dress. The color was so perfect (very true to the picture) and the fit made me feel so beautiful. I was worried that the spaghetti strap wouldn't be appropriate for October wedding, but the color definitely made it "fall-ish". I'm heavier in the hips and the fit at the ribcage ran very true to size. I am 5'9-5'10 and run about a 34B in the bust. It was a little lower than I'm used to, but still very classy. My only complaint on this specific one, was the lower hemline. You can kind of see it in the picture, but it hung a little bit lower than it was supposed to (I could guess it's just from being worn). Other than that, I would definitely recommend and re-rent this dress.
