Festive!
Loved this dress! The top feels a little boxy with the high neck and shoulder pads, but the slit in the skirt helps add a touch of sexy. I felt great wearing this all night!

Weird side seams
I was excited about this dress, looks so cute with chunky boots for a 90s grunge vibe. Only issue was the side seams wouldn't lay flat, they bunch up, making you look wider. Overall it was still a cute look but not the most flattering thing I've worn.

Size up!
Absolutely loved this dress. It's not the easiest thing to get into, definitely recommend getting dressed first and hair/makeup second :) I am usually a size small and the medium was perfect, still very form-fitting. Was also able to still wear a normal bra which was a big plus.

Incredible dress
Amazing! I had my doubts if this would work with my C/D size chest - I usually steer clear of backless dresses bc of the lack of support. This dress held the girls up with no bra and the straps actually go under your arms to help add support and create a super dramatic backless look.

I should probably just buy it.
I've rented this twice, not sure why I haven't bought it yet! I rented the medium the first time (small was unavailable) and it was a more baggier look, then the second time I got my usual size small and it fit like a glove: still plenty of room in the legs (my usual issue with jumpsuits) but very flattering. Wore on a chilly spring day which was perfect because it does get a bit warm. So comfy!

This dress was SO FUN. I was worried it would be too short but I felt comfortable in it all day with a low heeled bootie. The color is stunning. Im usually a 4 and the 2 fit perfectly, not too tight. Be bold, you won't regret it! :)

Felt so great in this dress. Super flattering for an hourglass figure. The fit was great / a little roomy (I'm usually a 4.) Color is beautiful (it's purple - don't trust my photo for color reference, it's been edited.) Highly recommend!

Coolest jacket ever
This jacket looks so polished. And expensive. Easy to throw on with jeans and look very put together! The fabric is soft and cozy, not overly heavy. Good for 50s / 60s weather.

The material was so heavy and not very comfortable. Thought I would feel more chic in this top but the sleeves were so wide and I felt like I was wearing a quilt.

Felt really great in this dress. I was slightly uncomfortable with the side cutouts - I felt like I was spilling out of them a bit - but I still felt like a million bucks. Fabric is fairly heavy. Overall loved it!

This dress is STUNNING. Runs a tad bit small - I'm a 4 and the small just barely fit. But it's so flattering on and hugs in all the right places. You won't regret renting this!

HOT
This dress was so fun to wear! Beware, the slit is HIGH and the top is low. Runs slightly large - I'm a small / size 4 / C cup and was tugging on the top a bit. Top has nice structure though which helped keep it in place.

Elegant with an edge
Loved wearing this dress for my anniversary dinner! Really great for curvy girls that want to show off their figure. I'm a true 4 and the small was a little snug up top, and felt a little stiff to sit in, but it was worth it. :) The dress is very thick material, great for winter. Definitely recommend!

Got married in this dress!
My husband and I got married at the courthouse a couple weeks before our ceremony. I popped in the store but couldn't find a white dress so this was the next best thing! Very feminine and overall pretty flattering. Was a little snug on my hips - might flatter a straight figure more. I'm typically a 6, sometimes a 4, and the 6 fit but just barely.

Photographs well
I rented this for a photoshoot for my album cover. The tulle is fun and feminine and photographs really well. The dress itself wasn't the most flattering on me, I think because of my large chest / curvy figure. Wore without a bra but the long straps made me look a little saggy. I'm usually a 6 and the 2 fit well. I think this would be more flattering on a narrow or straight figure, but it was fun to wear!

FAVORITE
Possibly my favorite rental in the last two years. Rented for vacation in Mexico, then wore it again the following week for a show. This dress is so flattering. The cap sleeves add a little feminine touch to the in-your-face sequins. M fit me like a glove and I'm typically a size 6, at times a 4. I wore it with stilettos to dinner on vacation, then with boots at my show for a more rock and roll feel. No need for a bra, which is a major plus. You will not regret renting this.

Effortlessly chic
Ba&sh is quickly becoming one of my new favorite brands. This dress really surprised me - I'm a curvy gal and it was really flattering on (maybe because of the sleeves?) So flowy and feminine. Wore on vacation in Mexico and felt dressy when pairing it with wedges, but could also wear it as a bathing suit cover up. Fabric was soft and cozy.

So unique!
This top was really fun to wear to my art opening! I'm typically a size 6, but the UK 14 / US 10 was the only size that happened to be in the store. I couldn't resist because it's so unique. Was a little unflattering on me, but I'm sure the right size would've been much more flattering. I thought the sleeves might get annoying but you get used to it really quickly and it's fun to stand out in this top!

Loved this dress! I wore it for my Halloween costume, but would totally wear it out / without the unicorn horn too. Very flattering. It's pretty modest (almost wished it was more low cut) and plenty long on a 5'7 person. Was able to go braless which is always a plus. Surprisingly comfortable!

This coat is super sharp and professional-looking. Very cozy. Feels like it runs a little larger - I'm usually more of a medium but the small fit well with room to spare. Was surprised by how flattering it is.

Beautiful but painful straps!
This dress was amazing on... for about an hour max. The dress is extremely heavy due to the amount of fabric, and the thin straps dug into my shoulders terribly. I left the wedding early because I was in so much pain. There were red marks all over my shoulders. Go with another dress if you plan on wearing this for several hours!

Fun overalls but tight through the legs
I loved how these looked. The only issue was how they felt - I could hardly sit in them! Thank goodness I had a stool to sit on at dinner so the angle of my legs was more forgiving. The hips and legs are very narrow (but I'm also a curvy girl.) Would work really well on someone with a narrow frame. Also the length was a bit awkward but I liked how they looked rolled.

Wow!!
I've never gotten so many comments on a dress! I felt like a queen - wore to a restaurant opening party. The gold is more yellow gold/saturated than the model image. The neckline is a bit low - I had to adjust every now and then - but still enough support to go braless (DD). Overall fairly comfortable - the sequins snag easy underneath the arms when they touch the body of the dress, but not a huge issue. If you like to stand out, go for it!
