Casual yet cute
This is cute with a belt and high black boots. Wore it for happy hour on a rooftop in January and stayed warm. There isn't a waistline so a belt is pretty helpful.

Looking hot as lady in red
I cannot believe I didn't get a picture in this dress! Pros- sleeves are super fun, you can wear a regular bra, the color complimented my skin tone and blonde hair. My boyfriend really likes it. Cons- hugs some things I'd rather it not hug and had to size up for it to look flattering (just because you can zip it doesn't mean you should wear it). I'm usually between a 6-8 and wore a 10.

Dressed for ballet
I wish I had really listened to reviewers with this dress. It was just ok. It felt like felt which was weird and the dress seemed boxy on my hourglass frame, making it not the most flattering. I liked the scallop neckline a lot but that was the only thing I liked. Not worth spending the money.

The see-through back!
Definitely a sexy date night dress. The back of this dress is beautiful and the front is unique. I wore a strapless backless sticky bra and it worked perfectly. This dress runs slightly large. At the time of wearing it I wore between an 8 & 6 and wore the 6 (was 5'3" & 141 lbs with more of an hourglass figure). The 6 was very comfortable and loose. It wasn't big enough for me to completely size down to a 4 but definitely choose the smaller size if you're in between sizes. I would definitely recommend this and wearnir again if i had the opportunity.

Nothing
This was ridiculously tiny. I couldn't get this over my hips (size 6, 8 on a really really bad day) & it was a large. It was not even remotely close to realistic sizing as I typically wear a medium. Very sad to not be able to wear it.

Great Easter Dress
This dress was a freebie that I rented for Easter. The dress was great for the occasion with its colors, neckline, & length and it was cute. With that being said, the dress ran huge (definitely size down for your backup and probably your main size honestly). I'm between a 6 & 8 and could have confortably worn a 4. I feel like the shape of the dress was also not flattering for hourglass gals. At the time of review- 147lbs 5'3"

Sexy dress for sexy date
My boyfriend wanted to take me to a really nice restaurant in town and told me to rent a sexy dress. This dress was great! It is definitely a snug bodycon style dress but the pattern is flattering and hides small flaws in tummy area. It positively accented my booty too. Needless to say he loved it. You can get away with a strapless black bra or go without. For reference at time of wearing the dress I was 146lbs and 5'3"

Fun colors but overall cheap feel
I rented this for a weekend at my boyfriend's parents. The material was comfortable and pattern was cute and the colors fun but that was about it for perks. The dress ran large and I would absolutely size down for backup size and possibly normal size. The cut was not flattering on hourglass shapes and I feel like it made me look heavier/bigger than I am. The dress also looked cheap for a designer dress. For reference at the time of wearing I was 146lbs 5'3"

Being perfectly dressed for the occasion
I was really nervous about renting this dress for a wedding, specifically about it being too risqué for a wedding. It was a perfect combo of sexy and classy for a wedding. I was able to wear a sticky strapless backless bra but I could have gotten away with not wearing one. The dress is not stretchy and has little give, which resulted in me wearing the bigger size (8) (for measurement purposes I'm 5'3" 140lbs and am between a 6 & 8, typically wearing a 6). It is thick which made it perfect for the weather which was in the high 30s and rainy. Would definitely recommend!

People name dropping my dress
I rented this for my boyfriend's work picnic. I wanted something not very form fitting, yet feminine and pretty and this accomplished all of that. The length was appropriate and it was very comfortable. The material was a little different (reminded me of a beach coverup material-wise). It ran very large. I'm a snug size 6 and comfortably fit in the 4 with lots of room left. I wouldn't rent this again based off of my preference style for dresses being a little tighter and not so baggy but it served its purpose well.

How festive it was for my grandmother's 100th birthday on the beach.
This dress was absolutely perfect for the event I went to on the beach! It was bright and festive while still being classy. I received compliments from countless people throughout the entire day, including people who do not often dish out compliments. I am typically a 6/8 in dresses. I found this dress ran a little big. I went with the 6 because there was more room in the chest, however, I could have sized down if I needed to. I would not size up unless you are very busty.

Feeling sexy on my birthday
I really liked this dress! I wore it as my free birthday rental for dinner with my boyfriend. He also liked it a lot. I would definitely recommend this dress to rent if you want a wow factor. It was a little looser in the belly than I liked but it made my booty look pretty awesome. ;)

Compliments from unexpected people
I wore this on a Manhattan sunset cruise. This dress was perfect for the price. I was able to wear a tan strapless bra and it wasn't tacky or noticeable. The middle was a little loose and could have been more form fitting but overall the dress was hot and I received a bunch of compliments, even from people who never compliment others. Definitely a win.

A new kind of sexy
This dress was cute and very feminine. The slit under the chest made it a little sexier which was my favorite part of the dress. The length was too long and somewhat awkward on my 5'3 frame which is why I'm only giving the dress a 4 star rating.

Head turning
I loved this dress! Instant confidence booster. I wore it for a girls night out. Men checked me out all night. It hugs your curves and holds you in nicely. I found the dress ran a little small but I chose to size up based off other reviewers and am glad I did. I could have worn a smaller size but it wouldn't have been as cute. My only con was the straps were really big or stretched out so I had to safety pin them. I'd recommend this dress.

Flowy and beautiful
I am a huge fan of maxi dresses so when I had the option to try a freebie I went with this one & I am so glad I did! The dress is soft, comfortable, and flattering, especially when walking because of the slits and the way it billows out. The two things that made this dress tricky was the button at the top back would not stay done so that was annoying, and the length was almost too long. I'm 5'3" and had to wear very high wedges to have the dress not drag. If you are wearing flats you have to be fairly tall to not have it drag.

The head turns
I rented this dress for a date out & my date absolutely loved it. He kept emphasizing how sexy I looked. I wore a backless sticky bra with plunge from Victoria Secret and while you could see parts through the mesh of you looked super hard I don't feel it was really noticeable. The dress ran big and you should size down. Overall it was a hot dress but the fit was a little strange-looser than I expected in the belly area.

Heads turned with this stunning dress
This is probably the most flattering dress I've ever worn. Hourglass shaped girls this dress is a must! I loved it so much I wore it twice, once to a birthday party and once on a date and both nights all eyes were on me and this dress. There was a tiny fabric issue in the back where the seam in the mesh on the bottom is starting to come undone but it wasn't noticeable if you weren't looking for it.

Able to be classy & sexy
I wore this dress out to dinner and a play. I am usually between a size 6 & 8 and the 6 fit perfectly! It was a little on the short side while I was sitting down and I had to frequently pull it down. But besides that I loved it and would rent it again.
