Comfy, cute and pockets!
This was so comfortable and cute (loved the puff sleeves). The pockets were so convenient. I loved the fit of the dress- it was fitted but comfortable. I loved every minute of wearing this dress!

Chic mom mode dress
I’m in between sizes and ordered both small and medium: honestly they both fit the same (the material is super stretchy and forgiving) but the medium was way too long for my height. The fabric and style was so comfortable- I felt put together and chic but was also able to chase kids around in the dress. Easy to mom in!

Not meant for busty folks
I couldn't wear this dress...I got it for a church wedding but it was far too busty for the event. This is not meant for busty folks. Do not rent if that's you.

Way too cropped to actually wear
There were a lot of things to love about this sweater like the color, the puffy sleeves, etc. However it was far too cropped to even wear out of the house for me...I even sized up and it was still too short. This sweater is 100% a crop top.

Cozy and Chic
I absolutely adored this dress! I rented it for a baby shower that was partially outdoors (I wanted something to keep me warm!). It runs true to size but can run short (and I'm only 5'2''), so I paired with black leggings. Other review se mentioned that the bottom hem came flipped and both my sizes did come that way- so I had to do some serious ironing to get it to lay flat. But it was WORTH it! The Jersey material was made chic by the details like the ruffle shoulders and waist & pockets.

Effortless- and comfy!
I ordered both medium and large but ended up going with the medium. It fit perfectly- and was still loose enough to look perfectly chic and effortless. I layered with a cami since I needed to wear a bra with it. I did have to cuff the legs though- since I'm 5' 2''. The pockets were an added bonus! I was also pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to take this one piece on and off to go to the restroom. It's a great casual piece that can be dressed up a little!

"Frozen" ice queen
I rented this for my 3 year old daughter's Frozen birthday party and as soon as I took it out of the bag she squealed "FROZEN!" So if you need something cute for a Frozen party- this is it!!!!!! I sized up because it runs short (more of a cropped style) and I needed something longer- but a layering tank worked just fine. The shirt fit super comfortably and was stunning. I enjoyed wearing it!

The details make this dress amazing
I definitely wore a black cami underneath this dress to make it more modest- and I absolutely loved it. It was conservative (perfect for a family wedding) yet still stylish and a statement. The details such as the stitch work and the cutouts make this dress stunning and felt so expensive when I wore it. It was a tad long for me (5'2'') so I had to wear 2 inch heels but other than that I absolutely adored this dress!

Boho chic PLUS pockets
This was the perfect dress for a country wedding- and it had pockets! It was very boho chic- the sleeves were the most perfect touch. All the little details like the stitching and the ruffles and sleeves made this dress so amazing. If you are busty- just be prepared to have to accommodate and rearrange the girls so you aren't giving guests a show.

Perfect oversized NOT slouchy sweater dress
Def size down with this one. The sweater dress will still be slouchy- but also maintains it's shape. The tapered wrists also are a flattering touch! I loved wearing this cozy sweater!!!! Keep in mind that the fabric is stiff- which gives the dress beautiful structure but isn't super fuzzy against your skin.

All the perfect details!
Runs TTS. The details in the buttons, the material, the shape, the pockets, etc were all just perfect! The dress was so comfortable yet elegant due to those details! It was slightly on the shorter side but wearing thick tights helped.

Fun and flowy
I sized down- and it fit perfectly! The slit on the chest runs deep so I had to layer a cami underneath. Other than that- I loved every part of the dress. It was so fun and flowy- so comfortable and a great piece!

Perfect dress for a dressy daytime party
I looooved wearing this dress! It was comfortable, forgiving, and easy to move in. I had to wear a cami underneath because it was showing too much cleavage otherwise (even when I tried to safety pin it). Def size down!

Super comfy- just a tad short
I ordered medium and large and ended up using the large mainly because of the length. Where the hem hikes a little was short on me- and I have a short torso! I ended up wearing with flats because of my concern for the shortness of it and it ended up working out fine. Everything else was perfect....it was light, airy, and perfectly floral!

Def felt like the queen of the dance floor in this tutu
The dress is short under the tutu but no worries- the tulle covers everything up! I went with the smaller size because it wasn't as fluffy- and it ran a little big! It was such a fun dress to walk and dance in. Felt bad for the people sitting next to me at the wedding- my tulle was on their lap! BUT I was the queen of the dance floor and got a ton of compliments from other wedding guests!
