Great Shape - Especially Postpartum!
I wore this to my husband's office holiday party at 10 weeks postpartum. I was really worried about renting something, because I wasn't sure what size I would be after having my baby. I am still holding on to about 15 extra pounds. Luckily, this dress is both beautiful and forgiving! I got a medium and a large and the medium fit great - though I liked the length of the large a bit better (it was more tea length). I had to pin the bust closed, but that is because my 34Ds are more like Es now that I am breastfeeding. I think this dress could also easily work during pregnancy too!

Not Bump Friendly
I rented this for a family vacation while in my second trimester of pregnancy. My bump is average size, but this dress absolutely did not fit. Perhaps this was because of my hips - but I was very disappointed after reading so many reviews that said this was bump friendly. Beware, pregnant friends! This will probably only fit if you have a very narrow frame.

Beautiful Baby Bump Dress!
I absolutely loved this dress! I wore it to my baby shower at 29 weeks pregnant (around 7 months) and up almost 20 pounds from my normal weight. I have to say that I feel like this dress actually looks BETTER on pregnant people! Usually, non-maternity wear ends up being too short in the front, but this fell perfectly. The print and color are lovely - I got so many compliments and I felt beautiful. If I were to rent this after my pregnancy, I would definitely get a small, and I usually wear a medium or size 8-10.

Great for baby bumps!
I rented this as a back up for my baby shower. I didn't end up wearing it, because my other dress was my first choice and fit well. However, I may rent this again in the future! The print is beautiful. Based on the other reviews, I got the same size I would normally wear, even though I am up almost 20 pounds in my third trimester; however, if I rented again WITH MY BABY BUMP, I would size up one size. The dress is very flowy which fell nicely on my 29 week bump, but there is an inner lining that is more fitted - this slip was a bit tight on my bump, which is why I would size up if you are in trimester three!

The. BEST.
This jumpsuit is amazing! The color is such an awesome silver sparkle with little flecks of rainbow. The shape is beautiful on my pear body type. You can't really wear a bra because of the deep V, but the cut of the top really supports you so I didn't need one, even with 34Ds. I have rented this outfit twice and will definitely rent it again! Be warned, there is not much give in the zipper, but you want it to be tight so definitely get a backup size! You will LOVE IT.

Beautiful print and beautiful shape!
I LOVE THIS DRESS! I rented it for a wedding in which I was a reader. It was so beautiful and I got compliments all night, even from strangers on the street. The print and fabric are lovely and the cut really highlighted my pear shape without making me look bottom heavy. I am usually a size 6 or an 8 and went with the 6 because the cut is very low in the front, so you can't really wear a bra. But the size 6 was snug enough that I felt like I had support but not so small that I was uncomfortable. The pockets were an added bonus and meant I didn't have to carry a purse. I wore it with some simple silver earrings and silver pumps. I would rent this dress again for sure! It is SO pretty and made me feel like a 1950s movie star!

Stripes for the birthday girl!
I rented this super cute dress for my daytime birthday party in mid-October. The materiel was a bit lighter weight than I was expecting, but it didn't matter, since it was warm for October that day! I love the pattern and the bow back is very cute. I rented the 8 and 6 and ended up going with the 6, though I am usually an 8. The arms are a bit tight, like I didn't have a great range of movement, but then I only really needed to be able to lift a fork or cup to my mouth! One thing that was a bit of a downside was the length of the dress. I am 5'4" and it hit just below my knees - I was expecting it to be above the knee. It still looked cute with booties and some patterned tights, but I would have loved to have it an inch or two shorter.

Perfect birthday bash!
I wore this necklace for my daytime birthday party. It is a little bit brighter pink than in the photos, but I loved it! I was expecting it to be heavy, but it was much lighter than it looked, which was good. I would definitely rent this cutie again!

Beautiful print and shape!
I wore this dress to my own rehearsal dinner and it is so beautiful that I BOUGHT IT. It fit my pear shape perfectly and has super cute kangaroo style pockets! The material felt nice and I got compliments all night. My bridesmaids were all freaking out about how I had to own this dress - and luckily it was on sale at Kate Spade! Woo hoo!

Sparkle Bachelorette Magic!
I rented this dress for my bachelorette party in Atlantic City and it was PERFECT. I am usually an 8 or a 10, so I got the 10 and 12 since I had read that this dress ran a bit small. The 10 fit, but the 12 just felt more comfortable because the dress does not have much stretch, especially in the arms or at the bottom. The sequins and beading are awesome - much more so than you can tell from the photos online. I felt like the princess of the party!

I looked slammin!
I had been dreaming of wearing this dress for months! I decided to wear it to a celebratory steak dinner with my fiance. The 8 was very form fitting especially in the bust and the hips. Needless to say, I was feeling like maaaaaybe I should have gotten the next size up and my fiance was VERY INTO the one I had on. The fabric was much more slippery and heavier than I had thought it would be, but in some ways that was nice, as it hid little bumps and bulges.

Great Color!
This dress is very cool. I rented it for my bachelorette party as a back-up. I didn't end up wearing it, but it did seem to run a little small, which I had read in other reviews, but the next size up was not available. It is shimmery without being too crazy and the color is a great shade of berry pink!

The color of the dress is so eye catching and the construction is perfect.
I wore this to an outdoor wedding and felt like a million bucks. The top fit my 34Ds really well and I was able to wear a regular bra. The bottom of the skirt has horse hair, so it always stays perfectly poofed! I would definitely rent this again!

Sparkle bachelorette!
I wore this for a hilarious night out for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! I had read other reviews to size up, and I'm glad I did. I did end up wearing my size, but with some pretty intense spanx! The back is very cute and I loved how tight it fit without showing any pudge.
