Feels expensive ;)
This dress was sent as a replacement when the dress I ordered to wear to my rehearsal dinner became unavailable. I was worried it would not fit because many reviews stated in runs small, but it worked out well for me. It was snug in the bust, and my bra straps showed a bit in the front so I would suggest planning to go braless or strapless if you choose to rent this dress. I loved the belt detail and the fabric. It is probably lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather although it is definitely not a thin fabric. The length was conservative and hit just above my knees. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and ethereal
I loved this dress and it looked gorgeous in my engagement photos. I found it to run large- I had to try and pin the waist so that it looked and felt less "sack like." I wore a 4R and had to wear 3 inch heels (I am just under 5'6"). Because the straps were so long, the top is a little more revealing. I had to wear a backless bra with clear side straps. The straps were in poor condition and showed a lot of signs of wear. I was horrified to see some HUGE reddish, brown stains on the slip. These were visible, but the print of the dress helped break it up and make the stains less noticeable. Super gross though.

Didn't wear-- too large
I rented this to possibly wear for engagement photos. I usually wear a 4 or 6 in Shoshanna dresses but this was baggy and unflattering (I weigh around 125 lbs right now). It was nearly knee length on my 5'6" frame so keep in mind if you are looking for a mini. I imagine this would be very flattering if it were fitted better. The fabric is somewhat sheer, especially over the torso. I would have worn a slip or Spanx with this.

Made for a perfect bridesmaid dress!
I was a bridesmaid in a January wedding and the bride had the wedding party select our own yellow dresses (very cool of her). I rented this dress in a size 6 as well as the Anna Sui Pinwheel dress in a 4 and 6. This was my backup dress but I liked the fit and color much better in person and it ended up working wonderfully for the wedding. The color was brighter than I expected. Sometimes baby doll dresses have too much fabric and feel almost heavy, but I felt very comfortable in this dress. I loved the pockets and was able to stow lip gloss, Chapstick and tissues during the ceremony. I would say that the fit was true to size but it was a little tight in the bust for me (I am a 34DD). I wore a minimized bra which made the fit a little more forgiving. This would be a great style for someone who wants to conceal large hips or show off a small waist or toned arms. It was also a great backdrop for a statement necklace. Highly recommend! Would also be great for graduation or showers

Oh La La Lace Dress

Pretty dress but didn't work for me.
I rented this dress is both a size 4 and 6 to wear to a wedding. I ended up not wearing it because the fit just wasn't right for me. The size 6 was too big in the hips and the straps were too loose as well. The size 4 fit a little more snugly but I didn't like how it hugged my curves. The dress has no stretch and looked a little too baggy below the waist. I would recommend this dress to women with a true hourglass shape and also suggest that you size down. The black lace looked a little harsh I'm contract to the eyelet pattern but still a nice style by Anna Sui.
