Unique Top Detailing
When I work an awards show, I have a few requirements for the dress - black, long, can be worn with flats. This fit the bill, but also added a couple extra bonuses - sleeves (perfect for the cool of A/C in a venue) and a beautifully detailed cutout fabric on the top that made it feel expensive and unique. The skirt had good movement, and I wore it all night perfectly happily. So pretty and chic!

Love the Style for a Black Dress
While this wasn't as incredibly flattering as some of the other dresses I've rented, it had a great modern cut that I loved and felt very chic and pretty in. Well made and substantial, and a great canvas to style with accessories. Plus, love it especially from the back.

Gorgeous, But Needs Accessories
First of all, this dress was comfortable and pleasantly heavyweight in the fabric, and I love the sleeves. It fit beautifully, though the cut felt a bit "older" to me - however, with the addition of a bold gold belt and a dark lip it upgraded to be more modern and interesting. A good get!

Classy, Beautiful Dress
This is a great dress, though I didn't love it quite as much as some of the others I've rented in the past. The shoulder detail is very nice, but I wish the skirt was a hair longer. Did love the sleeves for sitting in a chilly room. It definitely runs small - the first dress I've had to size up in. Good, substantial fabric and comfortable.

Incredibly flattering and comfortable to boot!
When I work a formal event like an Awards Show, I have a few criteria - 1. Can wear flats with the dress; 2. Nothing too crazy flashy but still elegant - people aren't there to look at me; 3. Comfort! This hit all the buttons - it was light and comfy but still crazy flattering, with the interesting twist of the bare back. At 5' 8", I had no trouble running around in the regular in flats, and a friend actually asked if I'd lost weight when she saw me in a photo (I hadn't). There's a back slit which makes walking simple, and the simplicity of the dress really allowed for some fun with accessories.

Bright, fun pops of color!
I won't lie, I rented these to hit a promo code threshold, but they were cute pops of color with my simple black dress and gold necklace. I do wish they were slightly bigger for more impact, but they are certainly fun little earrings.

Perfect length and fit like a glove, if a bit revealing for a work event.
I was working an awards show, so needed a dress that fit the formality of the evening while also allowing me to to run around if needed (i.e. wear flats). I am 5' 8" and this dress was the perfect length for flats. It is a heavy, substantial fabric and fit like a glove. It is a VERY low cut neck, and I did have some concerns about bending over and accidentally flashing someone. If I wasn't running around for work, wouldn't have been as much of an issue, but a good thing to be aware of (it doesn't gap while just sitting/standing but would with certain movements). Overall, great dress!
