Can be worn backwards for modesty!
Really loved this dress, but i was nervous about the deep v in the front as i planned to wear it for christmas eve service at my church. I actually wore it backwards and it looked great!! Lays well in either direction. Great fabric- lightweight, but not too clingy or static-y. I would recommend!

Great dress; fabric makes it more formal than I thought
This dress was beautiful; the fit is great, and the color is really fun. Works with a regular bra, and is a good length- not too short. I had rented the dress for a casual daytime event, though, and felt the fabric made it too dressy. It would be perfect for a wedding or other more formal event!

Great dress, fun fabric- probably cut for a shorter gal
I loved the idea of this dress! The fabric is really fun and vibrant, the length was appropriate for a business party, and you can wear a normal bra. My only problem was that, at 5'9', I felt it was cut for someone quite a bit shorter than me. I still wore it and liked it, but the darts just didn't line up in the right places. Normally that's not a problem for me, but girls that are much taller might want to consider something else. 5'5" and below- Go for it!!

Stunner, but shoulders a bit tight
Loved this dress overall! Easy fit, pockets, pretty shimmer effect to the fabric. I wore a normal strapless bra, and paired it with basic heels and a fun necklace. The only problem for me was that the neckline/shoulder area was cut a little too tight. I ordered my usual dress size (0), but probably should have sized up a bit to accommodate for my shoulder width. Still wearable, but a little uncomfortable and difficult to lift my arms.

Great top- fun to wear and fits well
I liked this top a lot- easy to wear with a normal strapless bra. Goes well with both black pants and white. The only thing I didn't love about it was that the ruffle sleeve was annoying on a breezy patio at lunch. It kept flopping up into my face, but looked cute when it was laying in the right place!

Loved the look! Top "moves" a little oddly
Loved this top overall. The look was great! Went well with black jeans, and got lots of compliments. The lace is too sheer to wear a regular bra, and when you lift your arms (as shown in photo), the lace kind of gathers in an odd, moderately uncomfortable way. I was a little worried that I would pop a seam if I moved my arms very much, but it was ok. Would recommend, but not if you have to hold a baby all day or something like that!

Cute dress, lovely fit, and barely conservative enough for church
I liked this dress overall. I'm 5'9" and rented the size 0. I chose it to wear to church, and was surprised that it was a bit shorter and lower cut than I had anticipated. I paired a cardigan with it to make it a bit more modest, and it was good enough, although I would've preferred another inch or two of length. I liked the fabric, was able to wear a regular bra, and loved having pockets with kiddos! Overall would definitely recommend. True to size.

Overall cute, but very wrinkled upon arrival
I was surprised to find this "dress" is actually 2 completely separate pieces. There is a navy spaghetti strapped dress, which could easily be worn alone, and also a button up top with pieces that wrap around to great to the belt. This made the dress quite a bit warmer than I had anticipated. Also- the dress arrived Very wrinkled. It was able to be steamed out, and looked nice when it was, but if you're planning to take this one a vacation or something, it might not pack well. Overall a cute look, but a little different than I was expecting.

Cute overall, tie is a little weird
I rented this top and liked it overall. I was wearing it to a work meeting, so I was looking for something cute, fashionable and conservative. This neckline is a bit lower than I anticipated, and the tie portion was too thin and long to leave hanging, but too thin to tie into a proper knot or bow. . . Overall, I liked the look of this top, and would probably rent it again, but the neckline was just a bit odd.

Cute dress, pretty fabric, slightly odd waistline
Overall, I liked this dress a lot and wore it two 2 different conservative/work events. I liked the fabric a lot and the buttons were in a great place to create a flattering v neck, but not to show too much cleavage. My only complaint is the waist is gathered with elastic, so it kind of blouses in an unusual way. I put a waist high belt with it, and liked it that way much better. Altogether, an easy dress and I'd recommend it! Fits true to size.

Fun flirty and unique
Loved this top! The fit is true to size, if not a tiny bit on the small side. I wore this with basic black jeans to a "fiesta" theme party and thought it looked great! Very comfy to wear- I was a little nervous that I'd be pulling it up all night, but it stayed in place really well. Would recommend!

Cute top, definitely roomy
I liked this top. The fabric is a fun fresh floral, wish some interesting detailing. It goes with about anything- I wore it with grey jeans and also blush jeans. I ordered a medium, but should have ordered a small (I usually wear small, but only medium was available): there was plenty of room! Overall cute, but don't size up if you can help it!

Fun dress- easy to pair with just about anything
I liked this dress a lot! I paired it with a fur vest and OTK boots, but it looked cute on its own as well. The waist ties, so it's easy to adjust the fit/length as needed. Pretty fabric, and not at all clingy or staticky. I'd definitely recommend!

So cute- great idea but couldn't wear
These earrings are so fun and on trend, so I couldn't wait to wear them! Unfortunately, for me the posts were a little too short, and I had to tighten them so close to my earlobe that it pinched and actually hurt. I couldn't wear them, but really wish I could! Don't think I have unusually large earlobes, but who knows...

Well made but kind of little house on the prairie
I intended to wear this dress on a date with over the knee boots, but when I tried it on it was a little more conservative than I had imagined. I'm 5'9" and it nearly went to my knees. Wound up wearing a different dress and sending this one back. Overall, though, the fabric is nice and not staticky, the waist is fitted with a small zipper in the back so the gathers at the waist lay nicely.

Perfect date night dress
I wore this dress for New Year's Eve with my husband. I Loved it- this dress is a stunner! Based on previous reviews, I ordered a size small, but I'd say it's more true to size. It's a great length- I'm pretty tall and it definitely wasn't too short. Since it's pretty tight and has a somewhat open back, I appreciated that the length wasn't too short. I didn't wear one, but I'm pretty sure you could wear a normal bra with it, too! The zippers are a little tricky to get on, so be sure you have a buddy to help you get dressed. Overall a really awesome choice!

Fun, flirty true red dress
Wore this dress to a Christmas party with friends and it was perfect! I usually wear a 2, and would normally get a small, but based on previous reviews got the xs. I'd say it for pretty well, but was maybe slightly narrow in the shoulders. It's recommend sticking with your normal size for this one! Fabric is not too sheer in the back, so I was able to wear a normal bra. Would recommend!

Great dress- fun Christmas red
Loved this dress! It was such a pretty red color, and looked great for my husbands work Christmas party. I would say the sizing runs more like j crew sizing- I wish I would've gotten one size smaller, but it was close enough to work. I didn't wear a bra wth it- all of mine would have shown in the back. (The back is super cute, though!) Would recommend!

Love this vest! Perfect and so cozy
This is a great vest! Love the blush color, and the fur is a very soft, with just the right amount of "pouf". I paired it with a plain black top and jeans for a casual date, but it could easily be dressed up as well. It's not especially heavy, so it's perfect for a day/night that's a little chilly, but not truly cold. I'd definitely rent this one again!

Nice dress, somewhat uncomfortable
I wore this dress to church and then to a nice brunch after. I received several compliments, and felt like I looked nice and put together. Unfortunately, it's not the most comfortable dress. The neckline is rather itchy, the top is sheer so it really needs a strapless bra, and the hem is narrow, so it's difficult to walk with a long stride. All things considered, i would still recommend it, especially for someone

Very cute look, but you need a bathroom buddy!
I liked this outfit a lot. I paired it with a fun blazer which really worked well. It's quite form fitting up top, which is fine, but size up if you're trying to decide between sizes. When I sat down, I felt a bit like I was squeezing out the sides... And I literally couldn't zip it up myself! So if you don't have a bathroom buddy to help you zip, maybe look elsewhere! Overall a nice, clean look- worth a try!

Great top!
This was a great top- very easy to wear! I wore it with a racer back bra with no problem. I was hoping this would be more of a true red (I wore it to an SMU football game), but it's a very nice tomato color. It is a cute, flattering fit, although it's maybe just a bit short in the front. If you're thinking this would be a good maternity top, I'd probably look elsewhere for that reason.

Great dress, but definitely short!
I really loved this dress overall, but if you are nervous about wearing a very short dress, be warned! I'm 5'9", and the dress was definitely shorter than my fingertips- more like mid thigh. The fabric is strikingly beautiful, and it's really a very flattering dress overall. Tons of compliments all night, and I loved dancing in it! But be sure to wear something sensible underneath just in case. . .

Great dress! Easy fit, comfortable and flattering
I rented this dress for my daughter's baptism. (sorry I didn't take a better picture!) It was very comfortable, it was easy to carry my baby around all evening. Very flattering fit- not too short or tight, but very feminine shape. Would definitely recommend!

I wore it for a New Year's Eve party, and it was perfect!
Great dress- fits true to size. I recently had a baby, so it was great to disguise a little extra in the tummy area. It's really a fun, stand out fabric- looks expensive. I got lots of compliments on the dress! I would definitely recommend it.
