Felt regal but with a nice modern twist
I absolutely loved this dress. I wish I had more pics of the full dress in different views since it was gorgeous in every angle and made me feel like a modern princess. Fashion tape is a definite must with this dress. I'm usually wearing scrubs for work or casual mommy clothes when taking care of my almost 2 year old twin girls, so I'm glad I had the opportunity to wear this beautiful dress. I had so many compliments all night!

Beautiful dress but not as forgiving if you have a postpartum belly
I wore this to a charity gala and was the first formal affair that I had been to since having my twin girls a few months prior. The dress is beautiful but snug in the waist area.

Unique, architectural dress
I absolutely adore this dress! The color looks a varies between a blush or cream color in certain types of light. It is the most unique dress I have ever worn and I love the sculptural origami details. The back is so sexy too! The material is thick but comfortable. I received so many compliments the whole evening. I only wished that my hair stayed curly throughout the night to compliment the look. I would love to have this dress in my permanent collection if only I had the funds for it but I would settle for renting it again.

Beautiful, sophisticated dress
This was my backup dress for a friend's wedding, but I ended up wearing a different dress to the wedding. They didn't have a size 4 available for the date that I rented so I sized up which gave the dress a little bit of a loose fit, which was okay for me. Anyways, I didn't want this dress to go to waste so I decided to wear it to Sunday brunch with my best friend's family. Absolutely loved this dress!

Black Truffle Dress
Carmen Marc Valvo
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 34B
Cute but too short
After trying on the dress, I found it to be too short and read a little junior for me. Also, one of the sizes that I rented had a construction issue at the top portion's inner lining of the dress kept flipping outwards which looked a bit unflattering. Maybe it's because I don't have a big enough bust or something. Unfortunately, I did not end up wearing this rental.

Camel Chiffon Dress

Beautiful dress but not made for pear-shaped bodies.
The bodice/boning details were sightly crooked when I wore the dress and I couldn't get it to straighten out for the life of me. The dress is no doubt a gorgeous dress, but it wasn't as flattering on me as I thought it was so I did not end up wearing the rental.

Too small and difficult to keep sleeves on
Fashion tape was not working for this dress for some reason and the shoulder portion of the sleeves kept sliding off my shoulders and exposing the girls. I'm glad that this was just my back-up dress for the wedding because the other dress worked out beautifully.

Absolutely stunning dress!
I absolutely love this little gem. The fit was fantastic. However, I feel as though this would have worked a little better if I had a bigger bust. You will definitely need to use the fashion tape provided as I felt as though the top was a little looser for my build. The design of the dress is gorgeous though. The high-low cut gave it a little bit of a modern twist and absolutely love the feminine neckline and open-back cutout from the reverse side. I received so many compliments that evening and would have loved to have a little staple like this in my permanent collection.
