Spring / Summer Cocktail Attire Wedding
Fun and comfortable option for a spring / summer cocktail attire wedding! The top was a bit too large for me, so I had to use pins and fashion tape. A-line style made the dress comfortable for sitting, eating, and fun for dancing. Lots of compliments on the unique pattern!

Versatile formal occasion dress
I rented this dress for a cocktail attire wedding, and it was perfect! Some guests were in long dresses & others were in short dresses, so this dress’ midi length and handkerchief cut played to both sides. The linen fabric needed to be steamed but then remained unwrinkled for the entirety of the evening. The cut and fabric texture were both flattering and comfortable - I’d highly recommend this dress!

Order 1 size up for longer torsos!
I rented this romper for Pride weekend, & it fit the vibe perfectly! It wasn’t the most comfortable for a full day of wear, so I’d recommend sizing up if you have a longer torso.

Super crop for concert or vacation
I rented this top to wear to the Taylor Swift Eras tour to evoke the Lover era, & it was perfect! The tie in the front makes the top extra cropped, & it was challenging to find something high waisted enough to pair with it. The top also ran slightly large for my smaller chest, & I did have some gaping throughout the night. But huge plus, you can wear a normal bra!

Classy & sexy
I wore this form fitting midi dress for my rehearsal dinner. I loved that the fitted look showed off my curves, but the more conservative length provided contrast. With way the pearls are situated on the top, I’d recommend this dress to other small chested folks. And, I wish I’d worn Spanx, because the fabric shows every bump. I’d recommend for fellow brides!

Too big
After reading other reviews, I decided to size up to a 6, but I wish I would have stuck with the 4. Unfortunately, the dress was too big overall to wear. There is elastic on the back of the top, so I’d imagine that it would be forgiving for most folks up top. However, the rest of the fabric is fairly stiff. Size appropriately!

Fun, bold summer cocktail dress
This dress is a fun, bold look for a cocktail party! I wore this to the welcome party during my wedding weekend and received so many compliments. I was between sizes but went up one size to be comfortable, and with the ruching it was still a flattering fit. However, it was a little short while sitting, so I wouldn’t recommend it for folks over 5’10”.

Fun & summery
I rented this dress to wear to multiple casual events this summer - got many compliments on the bright color! The adjustable straps and waist are ideal. The fabric is very lightweight, but it does look wrinkly even after steaming.

Casual & comfortable
I rented this for winery tour with friends, but I ended up wearing it multiple times for casual occasions. This dress definitely runs large, but I would recommend sticking to your normal size to make sure the elastic on the sleeves fits right.

Easy & fabulous
I rented this dress for a 1920s themed birthday party for the gold sequins - the modern shift cut helped the costume not feel too kitschy. I received so many compliments! The dress was comfortable all evening! It ran short - if you're over 5'10" this dress maybe too short for you - and the fabric has no give, especially in the sleeves - if you're between sizes, I'd recommend sizing up.

Unwearable
I rented this romper for a series of summer activities, and I was disappointed that it runs very small - it fit like a one-piece bathing suit! I would not recommend it for anyone over 5'4".

Versatile
I rented this dress for a series of summer events, and I absolutely loved the versatility! The simple style translated well to concerts, date nights, and brunch with friends. It's on the shorter side for me, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone over 5'10". Definitely will rent again!

Versatile
I rented this romper for a series of summer activities, and I absolutely love it! The simple style translates well to casual events or more dressy occasions. The fabric is stiff, which means it doesn't wrinkle easily, but it's not particular breathable. There is a zipper (similar to a pair of pants) that makes getting into the romper super easy, even for taller folks. And, the tie does a great job of defining the waistline. Would highly recommend!

Runs large
I rented this dress for a series of bridal events, and I was disappointed that it ran large. Because there is so much fabric at the bottom, it really would look better if it was fitted on top. The material also wrinkles easily, so prepare to steam or iron (the toes especially) before wearing. I would recommend sizing down!

Runs large
I rented this dress for my early spring engagement party, and aesthetically I loved the fun, flirty pattern and elegant material. The dress runs big on top, and I would recommend sizing down if you're smaller chested. Especially with so much material on the bottom, the dress looks better fitted on top.

Too small & gaping seaming
The sizing runs small on this dress, so definitely size up, especially if you have wider hips. I was unable to wear the dress because the seaming along the slit was gaping & exposed.

Understated elegance
I rented this dress for a formal wedding with family, and it was the perfect balance between understated elegance while being different from your typical LBD. I was worried about the sleeves being restrictive, but they were stretchy enough for dancing. I would recommend anyone over 5'6" order a long if you intend to wear heels, because the regular was shorter than I had hoped!

Subtle elegance
I wore this dress for a black tie wedding in late winter, and it was the the perfect line between sexy & elegant. I was worried about the top being to big for my smaller chest, but I was able to wear it comfortably with a little fashion tape and forego a bra. The dress is a slight fishtail style, so warning it will limit your dancing a little bit.

Adjustable straps for the win!
I wore this dress for a formal wedding where I was the plus one of a groomsman, and it was the perfect line between classic style and bold color (more of a rust, than a red, in person). The adjustable straps made for a perfect fit, and *bonus* I was able to wear the dress without a bra. The length was a almost too short to wear with high heels, so to anyone over 5'7" I would recommend choosing the long version.
