Matron of Honor Approved
Rented to wear in a wedding, great dress! It was tight in the neck so I sized up and that seemed to help. Would recommend spanx as opposed to undies as it isn't very forgiving. Sticky bra worked well! The back was really open and looked great!

All the Summer Feels
Great dress, lots of compliments! It's a bit lower than I had expected. Pockets are a plus. Very breathable material (LOTS of material). Wore a sticky bra and had no issues with it being exposed. Would definitely rent again!

Easy, Fun Summer Dress
I rented this dress for a casual winery event in the hot summer and it was perfect. The material is lightweight and breezy. I read some reviews that the buttons come undone and the straps fall so I just stuck little pieces for double-sided fashion tape to my regular bra straps and the sleeves and didn't have an issue. I also stuck a small piece below the top button and it worked out great. No pulling or readjusting needed all night! (Had too much fun to take any pics)

Easy Summer Dress
Rented for pregnancy announcement photos! Great dress for hot weather, very light material. Would recommend a strapless bra, I just wore a bandeau and felt comfortable. Very fitted, not hiding anything in the torso area. Could easily be worn with heels for a dressier look but I'd say it's more casual than dressy!

Way too short for me!
Cute dress for a night out in Vegas. I wore it but I definitely felt a bit exposed due to how short this dress is, yes the picture shows that it's short but it's REALLY short. At least it was Vegas where anything goes or I probably would not have been able to wear it!

Perfect for a Night Out in Vegas!
I wore this dress to a birthday dinner in Vegas at The Bellagio. It was comfortable enough to spend the whole evening enjoying the scene. I did not have to wear a bra thanks to the top ruffle. Easy to wear dress and not as short as I thought it would be. Great rental!

Birthday Fun w/Pockets!
I wore this romper for my birthday and it was perfect for the occasion! Very fun spring/summer option. The shorts part seemed a bit longer in person than they appear to be in the photo. I wore a normal bra. This romper has pockets so therefore I would recommend it!

This dress was perfect! I have considered renting it again but love trying new dresses. So many compliments all night long. It was so comfortable and I could wear a normal bra. Perfect length for my height. Love!

Cute and Easy
I rented this dress for a Summer day spent with family, nothing special. This dress is very comfortable. I had to wear a strapless bra. The material is pretty heavy for a hot day but overall cute dress. I would probably not rent again but only because I rent so I never have to wear the same thing!

Easy to wear!
I rented this dress for a wedding in Nola. The dress was very comfortable and I could wear a regular bra. I will probably not rent again as it was a "just okay" rental. Don't get me wrong, it got the job done but no "wow" factor.

Unforgettable Jacket
I rented this last minute for a wedding weekend welcome party in Nola, best idea ever! I seriously love this jacket, not only did it look great it kept me warm. So many compliments and so appropriate for a Nola party. Can't wait to rent this again!

The perfect dress!
I wore this for a black tie optional wedding. I received compliments all night and after I posted pictures online for friends and family. This dress was definitely tight but I did not have to pull on it at all to keep it up. The built in support in the bodice was plenty and I did not need a bra. Excellent dress, I would recommend it to anyone!

So easy to wear!
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner at a brewery. This dress was SO comfortable and so easy to wear. It fit perfectly and I did not need to wear a bra due to the top ruffle. I would definitely rent again!

Great dress!
Great dress, easy to wear, and no issues with fit or exposure (wore a sticky bra). Really comfortable, sleeves were not too tight. Lots of compliments!

Great choice for a wedding (but not for the hottest wedding of the year!)
Fit is great, pockets are great! Material is very heavy and was a little hot for a mid-summer wedding but no real complaints!

Perfect romper (to mix it up) for a company Christmas party!
So fun to wear! Only complaint, chokes you around the front neckline but just a little too tight and it wasn't enough to keep me from wearing it. A little big through the waist and snug across the chest.
