Tons of Compliments!
This was a great dress. Fit well, was flattering, and was actually pretty comfortable. I did need to use some fashion tape on the bust line/shoulders to keep the “straps” from slipping down, but I suspect it’s because I could have gone down a size from what I ordered (I would normally get a 4 or a 6, but 6 was unavailable and I didn’t want to risk it being too tight). There is tulle in the shoulder puffs, so they take on a life of their own no matter if you try to smoosh them down. It’s such a statement that you don’t need much else - just wore simple black strappy sandals and some black stone earrings.

Gorg!
Great dress - I got compliments all night and it was perfect for dancing. This is a lighter fabric and with the high slight it flowed beautifully when I walked. The little puffs on the shoulders aren’t too much and the ruching at the waist is flattering. It does not really have any stretch so you want to make sure you have the right size - there are even little zips at the wrists so you can get the dress on over your hands. I think it’s true to size, maybe size up one if you have a larger bust or are concerned about your tummy. Would totally recommends renting this.

Cute and comfy but slightly clingy
Love the pattern, fabric is stretchy but kind of like a sweater. Found it to be a little clingy on my tummy, so if you're sensitive about that area, just plan for something looser up top.

Too Boxy - Did Not Find It Flattering
The pattern / design of the sweater is cute, it just had too much of a boxy fit for my tastes - I ended up not wearing it outside of a try-on.

Love this - the pattern is great, the fit was fab, and it's warmer than expected. Perfect for a walk / wine walk during shelter in place times. Have worn several times since I rented it.

Perfect for WFH!
Really love this sweater - heavy knit in a quality fabric that wasn't itchy at all. Perfect for these shelter in place / work from home times where you want to be comfy and warm but still presentable.

Great Preppy Dress - Pockets Didn't Lay Flat
Generally liked this dress - flattering halter cut, length was perfect, and fab preppy striped pattern. However, the pockets wouldn't lay flat making me look bigger in the hips. Plus, it seemed like this had been worn a decent amount. Still looked good, just not a homerun.

Cute Pattern - Straps a Bit Big
Cute dress for a Florida vacation - a little more casual than I expected. Would have looked really cute for day with a jean jacket (collar popped) and some wedge espadrilles. Straps are a bit long - they slipped down a bit but the bust line has elastic, so it didn't cause any wardrobe malfunctions.

Perfect for Palm Beach
Loved this dress! Glad I sized up one because it fit and I felt great - might have been a little too tight in my normal size. Normally don't love shift dresses but this one didn't fit like a box. Subtle ruffle in the front and fitted in the back.

Looked great, was a bit tight
Jumpsuit looked great and I got a lot of compliments all night. I think I'm between sizes a bit because the medium was too big on top and around the bum, but the small was a bit tight on my ribs. I didn't need to wear a bra and only needed to pull it up a few times. Came a bit wrinkled in the legs and had to steam it, but overall it looked great.

Classy and Cute
This was a great top. Fabric is high quality, heavy lace, not flimsy at all. I wore it with black jeans and heels for Christmas dinner, but I think it could work during the summer too. The only thing I will note is that the band of lace running horizontally across the chest/back was a little snug. If you have a larger bust, you may want to size up because of that. I needed help zipping it all the way up despite having a smaller chest.

Cute!
I liked this one! I wore it to a party in Palm Beach, FL - and you know they love brights down there, so it was a hit! I'm 5'8" and was worried it would too short, but it was just fine - a little above the knee. I would recommend sizing up (I did and was good to go) and wearkng spanx - its formfitting.

Runs small on top
I really liked this dress, it fit well on the bottom, but was way too tight on top. I do not have a large bust, but I was squeezed into this to an unflattering degree so I didn't end up wearing it. Other than that, it did fit well, so I would suggest sizing up even if you don't have a larger bust.

Runs Small - Re-Renting In a Bigger Size
Ordered a four, which I normally wear, and it was too small. I was able to get it on and I think it's supposed to have a bit of a shrunken fit, but it was too small. Trying again with a six!

Comfortable and Flattering!
I wore this for a black tie event. I was comfortable all night long. The ruffles were flattering and the color is great. This definitely fits true to size. I normally wear a 4 (which wasn't available) and the 6 was a little big, but still wearable.

Cute and Classy
I am currently stuck in a sling so needed a dress that would allow me wear the sling comfortably without snagging - this fit the bill for my very specific needs, but I would wear it again without a sling! The fit ran slightly small - I could have worn the small, but ended up going with the medium because it was slightly more comfortable. It's made of a thick stretchy fabric that holds you in and the fabric has a stripe pattern woven into it - hard to see in the pictures. It also has a seam at the waist, which I could have lived without. Overall, for a $35 rental, I was really happy with it and got lots of compliments.

Pretty & Unique for a November Wedding
Loved this dress - lots of compliments all night. I wore it to a November wedding in Virginia. The fit is great. It does have a corset, so you will need help getting it on, but it limits the need to keep pulling it up all night (as you often have to do with strapless dresses). The ribs in the corset were poking me a little bit in the stomach by the end of the night, but I didn't really care. The fabric is brocade so it's heavier, but not too heavy. Plus it has pockets!! I want to own this dress.
