Cute jumpsuit! Perfect for any evening.
Renting a jumpsuit from Rent the Runway seemed scary since its hard for jumpsuits to fit! But this is a good one and very cute. It was too low in the front so I needed a safety pin to cover my breasts. I'm not sure what body type this dress would fit perfect, but I made it work! I'd rent it again.

Loved the dress, did not wear.
I am a size 4/6 and the medium was WAYY too large. I couldn't even really make it work since the material was too heavy. I may try this one again but get the small.

I didn't wear this dress, the color looked bad against my skin.
Super nice dress. I am tan from the summer but this color just did not work for me. I'm too pink, it washed me out.

Cute summer dress for a party.
The fabric is a little casual, the color under is almost like a gray sweatshirt material. It was perfect for a night out or daytime event. Would not have been fancy enough for a wedding event.

I didn't wear the dress- way too short! I am 5'8 and you could see my undies.
This is such a beautiful dress ! But it was a shirt on me. I couldn't walk in it without you seeing my bum or undies in the front. I knew it was going to be short, I read the reviews but it was WAY TOO SHORT to wear. So if you are tall, maybe skip this one.

Super nice dress, exactly as pictured! Nice fabric too.
The zipper was hard to get in the back without a second person, I don't know if it was the dress itself or because it was worn before. There is no give to the fabric like the other reviews said. If I was a size 4 with C boobs I don't think it would have fit.

Fun daytime dress, perfect for a graduation party or bridal shower!
I am a size 4 up top and a 6 down bottom so I got both. I wore the 4 with a normal strapless bra. This was perfect for a bridal shower. I added a small belt for flair. The pockets were also helpful. This dress is cotton so I would not recommend it for evening. Nice dress!

This was a party for me so I could get away w a too short dress.
It was too short on me. I'm 5'7 and a size 6. I needed a large and felt self conscious in it.

Great dress, super pretty, thick fabric almost like a wet suit? but not in a bad way! I
I am 5'8 and it could be slightly on the short side for someone taller. However I think it was perfect! I would rent this dress and brand again, and the dress is perfect for a day time or evening event.

I looked awesome in it, but it was kind of a fluke. I don't know if I'd recommend it to a friend.
The front is awkward, it's hard to know how it is "supposed" to fit, but I do not think it fit me right. I wore it to a 90 degree wedding so I was sooo comfy but I think it I was inside air conditioning I might have felt cold.

Cute, casual and short
More casual than I expected, the cotton is very light. It was way shorter than most of my Lily dresses. The back is wayyy more causal than I expected. I did not end up wearing it as long as I wanted bc it was too short for me. Maybe for a girls only bbq, but too short for a bbq with adults for me!

Little short, but great!
I'm 5'7 and it seemed a little short on me, but it looked good. Def need tan legs to rock this dress! It was much thicker fabric than I thought it was going to be which was nice for the bust, and the collar is so pretty you don't need the necklace the model is wearing.

Great dress! I got a ton of compliments and it fit perfectly. Shoulder needed to be adjusted and rode up slightly but hey, that's what happens when you're dancing at a wedding with any dress. Wear Spanx!

Buy body tape
I rented this to match my boyfriends suit for our engagement pictures so I was wearing it no matter what. I had the size 6 and the size 4. It was really short sitting down and I needed tape to keep it together, I didn't see a big difference from the 6 to 4, I think I wore the 6 for the extra inches on the bottom. It was beautiful but I don't know about a party dress for a wedding since it was so short on me. Some pictures it looked great and some it looked eh around the waist. I'd get the size up as a back up instead of the size down. I have a B Size

This dress was so great, but I actually only got to wear it for an hour bc of a emergency :( I thought it ran small, I was glad I got the 8 even though I'm normally a 6/4.
