Pretty dress, but not good for bigger boobs
This dress was really pretty, but totally squished the girls. It would have been great is I were a B or small C cup, but didn’t accommodate my larger bust. Nice heave fabric. Very old Hollywood glam feel. Didn’t end up wearing it because of the fit though.

Loved, but a little “old”
I adored this dress, but it was too final for my even. It looked a little too mature. That said, it’s beautiful in person!!!! And also insanely comfortable. I didn’t want to take it off. But my husband said it made me look like I was going to a funeral… so… I plan to rent it again for Halloween next year!!!

Beautiful color, couldn’t fit my boobs.
Didn’t wear it sadly. I’m a DD and the girls were squished and spilling out. Better for small Cs and under…

Pretty and light!
I have very sensitive ears, and was worried these would be too heavy. I was fully prepared to not be able to wear them. I was so pleasantly surprised by how light weight they were!

Perfect NYE dress!!!
Wore this for a NYE masquerade party, and it was perfect!!! I felt like a flipping movie star! Like I didn't want to take it off. Or fit like a glove, and the draped back was so beautiful . I wanted to live in that dress. I was nervous about chafing with all the sequins, but luckily the dress is so well made that it wasn't really a problem. I will say it's a very long dress! I wore 3.5" heels and it was still pretty long. Again though, movie star dress!!!!

Great fall wedding dress!
This was such a fun dress! I felt very pretty and elegant. I wish I had taken photos! It's a try wrap dress, so for busty women keep that in mind. I'm a 32DD, and there was some cleavage going on. Luckily the length made it still feel plenty conservative, with just an edge of sexy. Really beautiful golden color! I would happy rent this dress again.

Perfect for NYE!
I rented this for New Year's Eve on a cruise and it was perfect! I got a ton of compliments and felt like it was sexy, but still appropriate to wear around the in-laws. I tad scratchy on my arms, but not distractingly so. I have rented this designer before, and will happily do so again!

It's a lot of fabric and cleavage!
Too many layers, too long, too low cut. It was way more formal looking than I expected. And way too warm for a Hawaii wedding!

Tight and restrictive
I had fit issues. It was really tight and restricted my movement. I couldn't raise my arms really. On top of that, I felt like it ages me. Maybe I'll try again in 10 years!

Rented this for Hawaii. Too many layers of fabric and even with heals it still dragged on the ground. Not food for someone petite. It totally overwhelmed me!

I rented this for a Hawaii vacation. It was super light and comfortable. The only negative was how long it was on me. I loved it though since I'm such a sucker for silk. I'd rent again!

Perfect on my mom!
I rented this for my semi-hippy mom to wear to a baby shower. She looked great, and was so pleased that the 2 fit. It was really stunning in person, and even though it it has a lot going on it's such high quality that it doesn't look overwhelming. Her friend liked it so much she went out and bought it in her size! Her measurements-5'5", 120 lbs, 32B

Looks so great on my sister!
Rented this for my sister to wear to a baby shower. She doesn't love looking super girly, or her arms, so this elegant understated dress was perfect. Very flattering on her! She also said it was comfortable. Her measurements- 5'8", 190lbs, 36B.

Backup, but still very cute for someone 7 months pregnant!
I rented this for my cousin who was 7 months pregnant for her baby shower. She had a big bump, but when we assisted the waist band this fit great! She's VERY busty (like FF), and so she was squished a little. Still looked great! Her measurements- 5'6", 150lbs, 34FF, 7 months prego.

A tad tight but perfect for my event!
I wore this for an outdoor tea party baby shower, and it was great. This fabric kept me warm and sucked in. I was the hostess, so it was nice to not have to worry about my outfit with everything else I had going on. I know it's a tad bridesmaid-y but I really liked it!!!

This fabric is very stiff, and not right for a vacation. It would be nice for a semi formal summer wedding. It was also just a little too long for my 5'3" frame.

I thought this would be a great breezy weekend dress but instead it was a baggy boobie mess. Super low cut, an awkward length, and too big. Next please!

THIS DRESS IS EVERYTHING!!!!
I have rented this dress like 3 times now? I should probably just buy it. It's SO comfortable, versatile, and cute. Dress it up for date night or down for work. The only negative is that since it's silk (so it feels like you're wearing clouds and angel kisses) even water stains it. I will continue to rent if every chance I get!!!

Not great for warm weather.
Was hoping this would be a good work dress, but it felt heavy and looked underwhelming. Even in the fall it was too warm for southern weather. Or was also a bit boxy and scratchy. Overall, just underwhelming.

This was a backup dress, but I may need to rent it again to actually wear it!
This dress was super cute!! The lace and ribbon has no stretch, so the band around the ribs was a little tight on me. It's certainly low cut, but because it's not super short I though that was fine. And the adjustable straps were great! The only thing that makes it a 4 instead of a 5 was that some one the bust linings kept coming out at the front. I'm a D cup so I feel like the lining may be loose... it's the nothing that couldn't be fixed with fashion tape though! Would totally rent again!

Not for short or busty women.
Really a pretty dress, but not at all a good length if you're short. It hit just above the ankle and looked so off. It is also very low cut, which wasn't helped by the excessively long straps. I could have gotten over the plunging neck line if the length had been right, but alas it was not. If you are tall with a small bust this would be a great dress! Beautiful color and pleating!

Perfect brunch dress!
I wore this for my birthday brunch, and I liked it so much that I seriously considered buying it. The linen was very comfortable, and it fit like a glove. I love that it had pockets too! You truly cannot beat a dress with pockets. I highly recommend this for an easy breezy charming look.

So Cute!!!!
This is the dress I would absolutely consider buying. It fit like a glove. Looked great and was a wonderful work piece, but could also be worn to a low-key event or just if you want to feel cute. I got tons of compliments! And it was super comfortable!!! The chery on top was the pockets. I'm obsessed. Will be renting this dress again! Oh, and it doesnt wrinks much. Bonus!

This dress was cute, but very low-cut. Nice heavy fabric. Definitely fits snugly. Felt expensive. I wore it to work and got a lot of complements.

I did not end up wearing this dress. It fit very loosely at the top and then very tightly over the hips. It looked quite odd. Nice heavy material though.

A little low for work, but it would be great for a date!
Cute! The back means you can’t wear a normal bra. In the photo I wasn’t wearing a bra, but you could wear a stick on one. It was VERY low in the front. Not appropriate for my job, but it would be great for a date. I’m sure a safety pin or fashion tape could also help make it more appropriate. The weight was nice. Not too heavy, and soft. It did stretch a little, so I was glad it started snug.

Bad photo, great dress!!
I wore this dress to a formal event and it was a dream! I was nervous about the high/low but it was very flattering. Plus, pockets guys!!!! I was able to cart all the things!! Length was also great. I wore 3 inch heals the back just skimmed the floor. I loved the fit, unfortunately the ribbing was a bit damaged in the 0 (2 was baggy, so I was stuck with it), but I made it work. Loved the little sleeves too. Was very unique. I felt like a princess! At the beginning of the night I left something back at the hotel and had to catch the shuttle from the venue. As I ran down the hotel steps I felt just like something out of a Disney movie. I would absolutely recommend this dress!

Stunning!!!!
This dress was absolutely beautiful. I was completely blown away. It's classy, sexy, and timelessly elegant. I wore it with Nicole Miller southern plantation earrings, and the Cara dress me up bracelet (which I could have skipped honestly). No necklace required with the beautiful lace detail! I was initially concerned about the size because I'm almost always zero and I was worried that a 38 which translates to a 2 would end up being a little bit large. I had nothing to worry about! It fit like a glove. The only downside is that it fits like a glove that you have to be greased up to get into. I've gotten into many a wetsuit in my life, and this was innumerably harder. I initially put it on by pulling it over my head because I didn't want to damage the lace at the top. To get it down past my ears almost took dislocating my shoulders. If you have a good friend or significant other available to help you I highly recommend you recruit them. I finally found that stepping in to the dress was easier to get on, but not by much! Once you're in it though it is amazing. Very comfortable. It does ride up a little as you walk just because of the nature of the fabric, so if you're on the taller side I would definitely recommend getting along. I was nervous reading some other reviews so I rented a regular and the long, but at 5'4" the regular was fine for me even with 4" heals. I highly recommend this dress!

Phenomenal!
I have fairly sensitive ears so I was really nervous of these were going to be way too heavy for me. I was incredibly pleasantly surprised to find that they were very lightweight. I wore them all evening and didn't even notice them. Plus they looked stunning! I highly recommend them to anybody looking to add a little sparkle to their outfit.

Very pretty for a professional setting
This dress was very classically elegant, although it did have a few flaws. I'll start with the pros- The fabric was heavy and felt good on. I wore it in Missouri in early February and was warm enough in an auditorium setting. There want a lot of give to the material, but it was tailored well so it didn't need to stretch. The color was also nice; a rich navy. While I know some people thought it was too long I though it was a classy length. Elegant and feminine while remaining conservative and classy. Cons- The sleeves were very tight! I ended up wearing the larger size, despite the fact that it was a little loose around the bust and midsection, because it fit better in the arms and the draping in back laid better. The size 36 appeared to have been minded at the side slit, but it was hardly noticeable. Over all I really liked the dress, and if I had the occasion I would rent it again.

Cute, but flimsey
I rented this dress for NYE in St Louis. I was really hooing the sleaves would proved some warmth (because it was literally freezing), but sadly the material was very thin. It felt very cheep, which was diasapointing. I rolled with it (and ended up wiyh a cold), and it was actually pretty cute on. It was fun and different but I wouldn't rent it again.

Perfect for my bridal shower!
Wore this to my bridal shower luncheon and it was perfect. Fit well (a tad large in the rib cage) and was very pretty. It's stretchy in the back, so I would recomend getting a size down for your backup size if you're petite like me. I ended up taping it up in the back with fashion tape to make sure it stayed. Be aware that you'll need a special bra if you plan on wearing one. I personally skipped the bra. I was worried it would be long, but it was a very nice length. I would absolutely rent this dress again!

Beautiful, but wore the backup dress instead.
I rented this for my mom to wear to my wedding, but she ended up wearing the Pepin Sheath by Yoana Baraschi. It just went with the theme better. The did love this dress however! Said it fit really well and felt great on. I'll for sure keep it in mind for the future.
