So fun
Loved the color and fit of this. Taking off one star because the button to keep the top closed kept popping open all night. Wore to a party and an anniversary dinner with my husband.

Cute, but not for large bust
I do not by any means have a super large bust, but there was major gapping between the top two buttons rendering this unwearable for me. It fit otherwise, which is tough for me and rompers (big booty). The material is super lightweight and overall I thought it was very cute. Unfortunately had to return without wearing.

Beautiful print, tiny arms
Bummed this didn't fit as the print was beautiful. Attempted to try this brand again, but the arm holes were uncomfortably tight. The shoulder pouf plus peplum is slightly exaggerated, so was a return without wearing for me.

So fun
This was perfect for the Italian wedding we attended. I loved the color, but did find the white slip creep up as others mentioned. It didn’t bother me too much. The train was slightly too long when I switched to flats at the end of the night, so petite ladies beware. Overall a great rental.

Didn’t wear
Didn’t end up wearing as I liked other options I had better. This was flattering and I liked the overall fit, but was slightly too long on me. The fabric is gorgeous and so soft. Think it would be perfect for an event you want something shimmery and if you’re over 5’5”.

Cups were awkward
Didn't end up wearing this as the cups just didn't hit me right and was a little too form fitting for my taste. I liked the fabric and color, but was just not as flattering as other dresses I ordered.

A little busty
This dress was comfortable. Was hoping to wear to work but it was a little too busty and I didn't have the right tank/bandeau to wear. Wore to a BBQ with friends and it was great for chasing around my toddler.

Cute but needed steaming
I styled this with white jeans for a BBQ. It was comfortable, but the ruffles on the sleeves needed serious steaming (somewhat to be expected). I found the length to be good and wasn't self conscious about the cutouts on the bottom,

Fun beading
I got this as a backup after my original order was returned damaged. I ended up loving this look a lot more than my original pick. The neckline beading was fun and made it stand out. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner with tights and felt that I didn't need a ton of jewelry since the neck beading was so unique. It was a fine weight for the winter and worked well with the tights.

Bright and Fun
LOVED the color of this and received so many compliments. It was perfect for the Palm Springs wedding we attended. I'm not normally one for cutouts, but these were modest enough that I didn't feel crazy exposed. The horsehair at the bottom of the dress was sorta heavy, but it looked great in pictures and gave the dress that extra oomph. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it slipping down at the cutouts. My one complaint was that it was a bit short and I couldn't really bend over without giving everyone a show.

Colorful and comfy
Wore this for a black tie optional wedding. I love the color and fit. I am inbetween a 10 and 12 and ended up wearing the 10 as it fit a bit better in the bust. The length was fine with 3" wedges. Like other reviewers mentioned the ends were a bit ragged looking, but you couldn't notice it unless you were inspecting the dress very carefully. Pockets are always a plus too.

Fit me weird, but colors were awesome
I ended up not wearing this dress. I'm 5'2" and the high-low hem just hit me in the wrong place. The waistband was too low and it just did not make me feel/look good. I think on someone taller (at least 5'5") the dress would have been fine. The colors were awesome and I loved the appliques. A dress with pockets is always awesome as well, it just didnt work for me this time.

Perfect For a Bachelorette Party
I wore this for my bachelorette and really liked it. It was fun and flirty without being too sexy. My one complaint was that it was super short on me. Like no bending over at all short, but other than that it was fine.

Pockets!
This dress was great, but short girls be warned it was SUPER long. The color was a silvery-greyish-blue and the fabric was light enough for the summer wedding I attended, but I imagine it would work year-round. I could not figure out how to place my Nu-bra so nothing was showing, so I ended up braless which worked for me. Like other reviews said, the straps were a little long, but again it wasn't like I felt like I was going to fall out of the dress. There are two clasps in the back and one was half sewn in (I unfortunately didn't have time to fix it). The length was what really didn't work for me. Even in 4" heels I felt like it was slightly pooling and when I took my shoes off to dance, I had to hold up the dress so not to trip. Overall a great dress, but anyone under 5'4" that doesn't want to wear skyscraper heels, I'd avoid this dress.

Great for a Bridal Shower
I wore this for my bridal shower. Ended up wearing the 10 over the 8 as it was just a little more forgiving around the waist. The nude underlay is a little more prominent IRL than it is in the photos, but the dress still comes off as white enough for a shower/any wedding related party. Overall a great rental.

Nice Dress
I found this dress in store after returning another for a fancy birthday dinner. I wanted something sophisticated and this fit the bill. It was very comfortable and the fit on top and bottom were good. It hit me just below the knee, which was fine since it was cold that night, but something for shorter ladies to take note of. The dress was perfect for the nice restaurant we went too, but would also be appropriate for work or a semi-formal event.

Not flattering on me
This dress was awkwardly tight around my midsection. I rented for a nice birthday dinner with my fiance, but had to exchange for something else because it looked that bad. I was not able to order a backup size, but think if I had it would have been better. The colors were perfect for the office and a night out and the material was heavy, but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely order a size up for your backup size (if possible). I would not recommend for ladies who are conscious/worried about their midsection.

Such a fun dress!
I wore this for my engagement photos. I LOVED the bow in the back, but had to get a stick-on bra to wear with this dress. I loved that it had pockets and the color was a bright pink. My only gripe was there was some gaping in the chest area that was easily fixed with fashion tape and it was just a tad too long. It looked fine with 3" heels, but shorter ladies take note.

So many compliments
I tried this dress on in store and fell in love with it. It was perfect for the black tie optional wedding we attended. The top was a little snug, so I would definitely recommend sizing up for your backup. Being on the short side, it definitely dragged in the back, but it looked like the train was meant to be there. Overall a fabulous rental. I got lots of compliments all night long, and what beats a formal gown with pockets?!

Great Fall Color
I rented this for my engagement pictures, but didn't end up wearing it. The color was phenomenal and is a fabulous shade of purple. I would definitely recommend sizing down, as I also tried the 10 and it was huge in the bust and waist. I think this would be perfect for a casual wedding or a night on the town. The skirt was super flirty and the deep V gives that little bit of sexiness.

Good size
Rented this for a black tie wedding and it was a great size. I was able to fit my iPhone 6, lipstick and my credit card no problem. I don't think you'd be able to fit a bigger phone then that as it did take some maneuvering to make the purse close with the phone in it.

I ordered this as a backup and didn't end up wearing it. It was a little too long and hit be mid-knee, which is not what I was expecting. It would have been perfect for a more conservative event, but was a little too much for the casual wedding we were attending.

Good fit, got lots of compliments
I wore this to a friends wedding and loved it. It was definitely tight in the chest area, and showed a ton of cleavage, but other than that it was super comfortable. It did have some flare in the skirt since it had a tulle underlay, but it made my waist look super tiny.

Perfect amount of sparkle for a bachelorette
I rented this for a friend's bachelorette party. I rented both an 8 and a 10 and ended up going with the 10 as it was just a little bit more wiggle room in the hips. However, this made it a little baggy on top. It showed a decent amount of cleavage, so for those not wanting to show the girls be aware it is somewhat low cut. Overall a great rental! I paired it with a blazer (Chicago is cold in March), black pumps, a statement ring and black earrings.

I received these as my Stylist's Surprise and they were perfect. Wore them with the Tibi Confetti Sequins Dress and I loved the subtle bling they added. They weren't too large and I wore them for 6+ hours and didn't feel any discomfort or soreness. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add that subtle bling to their outfit. Would literally go with everything!

Definitely sparkled for my Golden Birthday!
I ordered this dress for my golden birthday and received so many compliments! It was very sparkly and photographed great. I have a pretty sizable behind and it did ride up when I tried to reach up, but wasn't anything too annoying. The overall fit was great and made me feel amazing. It was very comfortable, although the sequins did catch on other fabrics a few times throughout the night. Overall I LOVED this dress and would recommend to anyone who wants something sparkly and to stand out.

Would be prefect for NYE
I received this dress as a backup since my 2nd free size was unavailable. The original dress I ordered looked much better, so i ended up wearing that. This was a ton of nicely sewn sequins (you can't really tell in the picture), but it would be perfect for a cold-weather NYE spot. The long sleeves made it way more appropriate for a winter event then my spring birthday party. I have a feeling I would have gotten a little warm had I worn it. The length and overall fit were great!

Not too heavy, just the right amount of sparkle
Got this as my stylist surprise. I normally wear studs, so my ears aren't used to dangly earrings, but these weren't too heavy at all. They had just the right amount of sparkle. Unfortunately my event was cancelled, so I wasn't able to wear them with the dress that I had rented, but the earrings were beautiful nonetheless.

Rented for my birthday, but didn't end up wearing it. Gorgeous dress
The sequins were easily switched from black to gold and vice versa. The zipper goes all the way down which you can't see in the picture. I didn't end up wearing it, but loved the dress. The 12 fit my hips a little better than the 10, but the top in the 10 fit better, so it was a little bit of a trade off. The back went lower than my bra normally would have, so you'd have to go without or get the strap to lower your bra. The back definitely made the dress more sexy since it went so low.
