Comfortable Sparkles
This was everything I was looking for in a work gala dress. Short sleeves, high neck, comfortable sequins, and a little something extra with the cutouts and front piece. A am 5’1” so I like a midi dress since it’s less likely to be way too long for me than a floor length gown. The sequins were comfortable (for sequins), but I imagine the liner would be quite short on anyone much taller than me. There were quite a few stray strings — especially around the armpit area — and it did have a bit of a wave to the hem which cheapened it a bit, but didn’t really bother me. The large fit better than the medium for me, but was almost too tight. The part just above the cutouts was the tightest, and although it felt secure, I thought the cutouts looked like I had just busted through the seam of the dress. But others complimented them and thought it looked fun! Overall, a comfortable and pretty rental for a glitter-themed work gala!

Not cute
Maybe the least flattering shorts I’ve tried on. I really can’t imagine them looking great on anyone. Maybe ok on someone really tall and thin, but still not great. Big time diaper butt in these.

A Pleasant Surprise
I was surprised at how much a liked these jeans! They were a bit long on me, but I am 5'1", so that is bound to happen. I found them quite flattering for being a baggy fit and very comfortable. This is one of those styles that I'm very grateful to rent and try out in the real world before committing to purchasing a pair of loose fitting jeans.

Returned without wearing
I have mixed feelings about this one. I can imagine it looking really good on someone a bit taller and with a different skin tone. It was quite comfortable and the fabric seemed like it would be fun to dance in, but I ended up choosing a different dress because the chest area was gaping in an unflattering way. I thought the panel should also be in the back rather than just looking like a slip-dress in the back. Overall not my favorite, but wasn't awful.

Blue Pleated Midi Dress

Sweet & so comfortable
I am typically not a fan of one shoulder dresses just based on comfort, but this was so comfy and fit like a glove! The pattern was perfect for a spring wedding and pockets are always the cherry on top! It was just a tad longer on me than I would have liked, but I’m 5’1” so that is often the case. I’m currently 5 months postpartum and found the way it fit around the waist to be unexpectedly flattering.

Super comfy // Lovely print
I loved wearing this! The pockets are great and it’s super comfy. I did find it too low cut in the front to wear to work so I threw a slip underneath. For reference, I am 5’1” and currently 5 months postpartum at 144 lbs — and I thought the size 8 was quite flattering! I was worried it would be too long, but I liked this length for spring. It’s not quite as bright white as I expected but I liked the tones (attached two photos with different lighting to show indoor and outdoor).

Easy work outfit
This was a great blazer for work. I wore it with jeans and a black T-shirt for a casual look that still looked pulled together. Super cute and very comfortable.

Odd fit & a bit forgettable
This was ok, but I didn't end up wearing it because the buttons caused some gapping across the front. It wasn't that it was too tight across the bust, just felt the button holes didn't lay quite right. It was a thick fabric but I didn't find it particularly comfortable. Wasn't terrible, but just not right for my body shape.

Comfortable and so pretty! Perfect wedding guest dress
Loved this so much! Wore it to an early September wedding and got so many compliments! I didn't need to bring a purse because of the wonderful pockets. I thought it was a great length for me and was so fun to dance all night in. The arms and shoulders were a little tight so I was glad I sized up for my backup. It fit perfectly! Rent it!!

Beautiful bright pattern and a great fit!
Loved this dress! The pattern was beautiful and a real standout while I was on vacation in Florida. It was comfortable, a great length (even on someone who's only 5'1''), and could be easily styled many different ways. I would definitely recommend renting this one!

Very comfortable and a beautiful shade of blue!
The dress felt super flattering--it flares in all the right places. Plus. the color is fantastic! It was comfortable to dance in all night long and there is nothing better than being able to wear a regular bra with a special occasion dress. I felt as though it ran a little snug and was shorter than I anticipated (especially since I am so short already). Because of this I went with the larger size I ordered to feel more comfortable.
