Lightweight, fun and unique!
I rented these as a pop of color for my black and white dress worn to a rehearsal dinner. I wish I could have kept them!

Made my 30th birthday extra special
This dress was so fun. I wore this for my 30th birthday celebration and it was so comfortable! No bra needed, which rarely happens. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique twist on the little black dress!

This dress is a stunner!
This was a backup dress after the initial dresses I ordered didn't fit. I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness the first ones looked terrible on me...this dress was stunningly beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice. It was so comfortable, unique and hands down my favorite rental so far. You'll get compliments on it all night from just about every person you see, but deservedly so!

Great choice for a rehearsal dinner guest!
I normally don't rent this style of dresses because I think it makes me look too wide, but I'm glad I took a chance with this dress. The fabric was thick, the print was stunning and photographed very well, and the fit made my waist look tiny. I rented the 4 because the 6 wasn't available, so I had to have a friend help zip me into this dress! It was tight across the chest, but it would probably be fine for anyone who's a D cup or smaller. A standard bra could be worn with this style, but I didn't wear one because it made the fit even tighter. The zipper stuck a little bit even with two of us trying to get it zipped, so I'm not sure if that's just this particular dress or if it's that way with other sizes. I wore it with larger stud earrings and simple high heeled black sandals. It could be dressed down with a black moto jacket over it, which I wore when walking outside since it was a little chilly.

Understated elegance!
I had been eyeing this dress all summer for a late October wedding, and I'm so happy I went with my gut to order it! I ordered a 4 and a 6 (my usual sizes). I received the 6, but not the 4 - the previous renter must not have sent it back on time - but that wasn't an issue because the 6 was TIGHT. There would be no way the 4 would have fit. Dancing was a little difficult because it was so tight, but sitting for long periods and walking were no problem. This dress will hold you in pretty well even if you're large chested (I'm a 34DDD and didn't need a bra - a rare thing!), but I still recommend Spanx to make sure everything is smoothed out. The only con of this dress was the zipper. There's no hook and eye, so it can slide down a little bit - nothing too bad, but just something to be aware of. Overall, a stunning dress, but size up if you're busty or an hourglass shape!

Standout dress!
This dress was perfect for my friend's outdoor wedding. Subtly sexy - be prepared for compliments all night! I'm a 34DDD and didn't have any issues with the dress staying up or feeling too constricting in the chest. I'd recommend some Spanx or shape wear to smooth everything out - regardless, super comfortable and easy to sit and dance in all night. I'd rent it again!

Bridal shower tea party
The color of this dress is most definitely TAN, like camel-colored, as opposed to the more pinkish tone shown on the model. That was a little disappointing since I have blonde hair and had gotten a spray tan for this event, so I was afraid I'd look monochromatic - cue the last minute hunt for accessories to brighten up the look. The snaps on this dress are absolutely worthless, but I knew this prior to renting from other reviews; I pinned the dress in the front to avoid any mishaps. Also, the dress was folded in half when I received it, so there was a deep wrinkle across the skirt. I don't know if I'd rent this dress again, but I did get a lot of compliments on it.

Perfect dress for a bachelorette party.
This dress was so fun for my future sister-in-law's bachelorette party. I was a little nervous about my strapless bra showing through the cut-outs, but it worked out just fine. No need for Spanx with this dress since it's pretty tight fitting. Speaking of the length, I had to pull the dress down a few times during the evening, but I'm fairly tall with long legs so not a huge deal. Rent this dress!

This was a kick-off party, planned by my friend for our city's semi-professional soccer team.
I rarely wear anything but black dresses, but decided to go for something bright just to mix it up. This dress fit the bill and then some. I received so many compliments on the fit and color! The dress itself is pretty comfortable, maybe a tad big but any smaller and I might have been tugging at it all night. I definitely recommend Spanx just to smooth everything out. The only downside is this dress is cut in pretty far in the arms, which made my strapless bra show on the sides in most pictures (I'm a 34DD though and knew to expect this based on the reviews). I probably wouldn't recommend this dress if you plan to do a lot of dancing, but for this event it was nearly perfect. Overall, great dress and I'd purchase it in a heartbeat!
