Not for me
I couldn't tell from the pictures that this dress is still quite fitted below the waistline before it flares out-- as a result, it felt a little tight in the hips (for a girl with hips, like me). The background color is also more off-white than it looks in the pictures. The fabric is a nice: thick and kind of linen-ish.

I've rented this necklace twice and love it. It's such a fun summer piece, and it's light and easy to wear.

Gorgeous!
Wore these with a Shoshanna dress of the same color. These had impact without being too large or heavy. Love!

Good not great
This was my backup dress, but I was glad not to wear it. The color is great-- vibrant and summery (though I wouldn't have worn it if I weren't tan!) The skirt is actually fuller than it looks in the picture, and the bodice has a seam down the front. The fabric is heavy cotton, and it arrived kind of crumpled. A steam probably would have helped it to fall better, but I didn't bother. The fullness of the skirt, combined with the length (just a little too long for so much volume), made it kind of a miss for me.

Perfect summer wedding guest dress
Between the the two of us, my sister and I have rented this dress in every color and it never fails to impress. The quality of the fabric is much better than it looks in the picture-- it has a subtle sheen but is a heavy weight that doesn't wilt. It cinches in your waist, the the full skirt is short enough to be flirty without being too short for a 30 year old ;)

My favorite rental yet!
I rented this for a bachelorette weekend in Miami. It was amazing. I received tons of compliments and felt so comfortable. The cut is flattering and the fabric is so light. I wore it with a statement necklace (in light blue) and some strappy wedges.

Great sparkle for my rehearsal dinner
Loved this statement necklace for my rehearsal dinner. It really dressed up my outfit and was sparkly without being too showy. I can't wait to have an occasion to wear it again!

So fun!
This dress really flattered and I liked the combination of lace in an unexpected color like purple. It runs big-- I'm usually a 4. The cut was flattering and the length was good-- "appropriate" without being dowdy. I paired it with nude pumps and some bangles.

Great fit and color!
I wore this to a benefit with a statement necklace and some patent pumps. The fit was simple and elegant and flattered my waist. The length was short enough to be flirty without making me feel self-conscious. I'll definitely rent it again!

Beautiful!
I wore this with a fit and flare Shoshanna dress and it really dressed up my whole outfit! It caught a lot of light and brightened my whole face. I'd been skeptical of statement necklaces but am now converted!

Unfortunately didn't work out...
I loved the idea of this dress, but the fit was really odd. The 4 was too big and the 2 was too small... and it was both pretty low-cut AND really short. The fabric was lovely, though!

SUCH a fun spring party dress!
I loved both the cut and the color of this dress. The color is vibrant without being too bright, and the eyelet fabric makes it feel perfect for spring. I loved the criss-cross straps, and the fitted cut of the bodice did wonders for my décolletage.

Didn't realize these were clip-ons...
Oops! Didn't read the fine print (just used the "add to bag" feature) and was surprised to find they were clip-ons. I'm too much of a wuss to deal with the pain, so they went unworn.

Great color, great fabric, great fit!
This dress fit beautifully-- the fabric is very high quality and the color is so fun for spring. I loved the fit-and-flare silhouette (and of course the pockets!). Great with nude heels and some statement earrings. I'd definitely rent this again for a brunch or shower.

Very cute but not for me
The fabric of this dress is great-- very stretchy but very substantial. The pictures are very accurate-- it hugs the hips and behind before flaring out below. While adorable, this cut isn't very flattering on me, so I ended up wearing my other rental. I could imagine this dress would be very flattering on someone with narrower hips, though!!

amazing fit! i wish i could keep it forever!
I was skeptical about renting the 40, but the 42 wasn't available. The fabric, however, has a bit of stretch to it, so the dress hugged my curves, but wasn't tight. The 40 was perfect. Unbelievably, though I usually aim to camouflage my lower half with a flared skirt, this dress made my hips and behind look great and my waist look tiny. Note: though it's not apparent in the photo, there are very sparkly threads throughout the fabric. I felt amazing in this dress and can't wait to rent it again.

Overall, just very large
I loved the weight, texture, and color of the fabric but the fit overall was very large. I ordered the small with the medium as a backup. The small wasn't too big in the waist, but the bodice seemed very long, as did the skirt. At 5'6, the skirt fell below my knees. I usually don't think of myself as someone who needs a petite size, but perhaps in this instance I did!

Wish it was available in my size!
I loved the fabric, cut, and color of this dress. Unfortunately, I found out the day before that it was only available in a 6, not a 4. Sure enough, it was too big. Oh well-- I'll have to try again!

Not for me
I selected this for a theme party... otherwise it's not really my style and I probably wouldn't have rented it. I shouldn't have been surprised that I didn't find it flattering on me-- never have I thought before that a bubble skirt would be a good idea. Fortunately, my second dress was amazing!

Perfect for a black tie occasion
This dress is incredible. The fabric is quite thick and has no give, so it really holds you in there. I definitely sized up from my normal size. It's fitted at the waist with some flattering side ruching, and then slightly a-line through the hips. The bow in the back both makes a statement and draws attention away from anything back there you may not want to flaunt.

Perfect party dress!
I loved this dress. Not only was it incredibly comfortable, it was really flattering. The quality of the fabric is a little stretchy, so it's giving, but the lace itself is beautiful-- I don't think the picture does it justice. The straps are too far apart to wear a regular bra, even though they appear wide enough.

Great color and cut
The color of this dress looks richer in person. The cut is great-- I liked how the subtle sweetheart neckline enhanced my not-so-ample bust. My only complaint is that the boning in the bodice kind of poked into my sides-- as a result of this, I wore my backup dress, as I was going to be in it for hours.

Perfect for a holiday party!!!
This dress was gorgeous. The weight of the material made it appropriate for the winter weather, yet it didn't feel too heavy. I loved that the wider straps allowed me to wear a real bra, and, while the neckline was low, it was not so low as to be inappropriate for a family event. The skirt was pretty short, but its fullness kept it tasteful. Loved this dress and will definitely rent it again!

Not for me
This very pretty DVF dress just didn't flatter me. While DVF dresses tend to make my waist look smaller, this one actually made me look a little bulky. It was also shorter than I expected, not so appropriate for a family holiday event. I wore my backup, which was great!
