I felt beautiful all night!
This dress does not have much give, but accentuates all curves so well. It initially wasn't my favorite from pictures, but it's so pretty and unique in person and I loved wearing it. My one complaint is that the top clasp kept coming undone in my hair and I had to keep finding someone to re-clasp it for me throughout the night.

Cute comfy summer dress
This dress was very soft and comfortable (and a little loose), but it made it a little shapeless even with the back ties. The front was also a lot lower/revealing than I thought, but overall, the colors and style made it nice for brunch type outings.

Absolutely love this dress!
I rented this for a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was extremely flattering and cute. The front has a slit up top that you can't really see in the pictures. I got a ton of compliments and it made me look weirdly skinnier than I was. It covers the top part of the arms as well, so it hides things that I want to well, but slims down in parts that you want to show off (like the waist). It was great; I'll probably order it again soon!

Awkward arm strap
This dress was also too difficult for me to zip up, but the pattern was great and it was very cute on. The neckline is VERY low. I just didn't understand the extra arm strap and it seemed even weirder in person. I'd probably either not use it and let it hang or try and pin it up somewhere.

Great shape!
This dress was so flattering, but I just could not get the zipper all the way up, even with help. The color and the shape of the dress was great though, and the material is a little thick, so it sucks you in where you need it. I would probably try this dress again in a bigger size.

Way too small!
I couldn't zip this up and the material was so thin. It was a cute pattern, but it just seemed very flimsy and almost a bit cheap. I did not wear this dress.

This dress was surprisingly comfortable and flattering!
I got a surprising amount of compliments when wearing this dress and the embroidery is very vibrant and cute. I really enjoyed wearing this dress and would probably rent it again! The waist ties are a bit long, but not really a big deal. The flare in the back did make me check a few times throughout the day that I wasn't flashing anyone, but it was always down, thank goodness!

100% Cotton, breathable fabric
This dress was a lot more low-cut than pictured, and I had to wear either a cami with it or a sports bra type of underwear. It was a little tight in the waist, but overall, it was cute. I probably wouldn't rent it again though, as I didn't think it was that flattering.

Very cute and comfy dress
This was very flattering on and comfortable with the elastic waist. The length was great too. It's polyester though so not super great for a very hot day outside as it will stick to you, but I really liked this dress and would rent again.

Cute, comfortable, and adjustable!
This dress was perfect for summer. It is very lightweight and has an elastic back, so the fit is tighter but still makes you look slim. The straps are tie, so it's adjustable and still cute. I'd rent again!

This dress couldn't be worn without a shirt underneath
This dress is decent but the top is not adjustable. It's very big on top and I had to wear a tank or a shirt inside every time I would wear this. It also has little to no error room in the front and I had to be careful not to flash others while walking or sitting. It was almost like an apron to wear on top of another outfit. It was cute, but I had to constantly be on guard that I wasn't going to accidentally show off more than I wanted.

Cute dress that works for the office and date night
This dress is cute, but made me look shorter, thus wider. I think it'd work better for those with a short torso. It was also snug, but not uncomfortable. The color is trendy and can be dressed up or down. I chose to tie in the back, but it doesn't really matter.
