Long straps make this dress impossible
This dress is absolutely beautiful and stunning on, HOWEVER there was no way to make the straps the correct length on me. The material thickens and stops you from tightening the straps so there is a lot less strap adjustment than most dresses provide. I normally don't have to tighten the straps much on dresses so I took a risk and ordered it and it was a fail. I tried to use safety bins like others recommended but they just came loose because the material is delicate. I ended up wearing it because I didn't have another option, but I was paranoid about falling out of it all night. I wanted to love this dress, but I would say pass if you're on the fence in your decision to rent it.

Beautiful dress
This dress is beautifully embroidered and I received so many compliments on it. I am normally a medium, so I ordered the medium with large as a backup. I ended up wearing the medium although it was a tad tight. I have larger hips and a smaller bust and waist, so while the large was a bit more comfortable, the top was way too big and the straps would have fallen down all night. It's also worth noting that this dress is quite heavy so I would not recommend it for above 80 degrees. All in all highly recommend!

Soft with great details
I LOVED this sweatshirt. It is so soft on the inside and has really cute details, with the stripes and the ruffles. It's lightweight and very comfortable. I'd definitely recommend it if you're trying to be comfortable, but still look like you're putting some effort in.

Comfy and cute
I loved this sweater. I wore it twice. It was really comfortable and could be dressed up or down. It is slightly cropped, so you'd need to wear it with something high-waisted. True to size. Very comfortable!

Warm and cute
Wore this to watch a marathon in mid-50s weather and I was never cold. The arms are very wide, but it's not meant to be a fitted jacket. It is slightly cropped, so I don't think it'd be best for colder weather.

Easy style
This was a lot more comfortable than I expected. I thought it would be stiff, but it was soft and giving. I listened to what others said and sized up. I'm usually a medium, but ordered a large. I'm 5'6' and could comfortably wear it with tights to work. I will definitely rent this again!

Comfortable and cute!
I wore this during a weekend vacation. It's a little more cropped than your average sweatshirt, so I'd recommend it with a shorter tee and high-waists pants. It's very comfortable, so it's good for days where you want to dress down, but look like you're putting in a little effort.

So comfy and fun!
This shirt runs large, so definitely size down at least one size. It is super comfortable, has pockets, which are awesome. It's also warm enough that you don't need a coat with it if you're wearing it in 60ish degree weather. It's longer so you can wear it with leggings or skinny jeans. I loved it and I'd rent it again.

HUGE
I couldn't wear these because they were so big. I am normally a 6-8 and so I ordered the medium, but they were sized like a 12. I'm going to try them again, but I was super disappointed.

Super comfortable and chic
This dress is super comfortable. A lot of times wrap dresses blow open, but this was super secure. The dress is also super slimming. The back detail is very fun as well! Definitely recommend!

Cute dress for the weekend!
I tried this dress and thought it was cute. I didn't end up wearing it because I didn't like the way my butt looked in it, but someone with a smaller butt would love it!

Cute, but difficult.
This backpack doesn't have a good clasp to close it, so I was constantly feeling like my belongings were going to fall out.

Perfect dress for formal occasion!
I wore this to a friend's wedding last May where the attire was black tie optional. I felt really special in this dress and got a lot of compliments. When I rented this dress the size and fit suggested ordering a long for my height (5'6'), but the long was WAY too long and I had to have a 6R delivered from the NYC store. I would suggest sizing up if you have larger hips or backside. The fabric has some stretch and is very comfortable.

Such a fun dress!
I wore this dress for a family wedding and received so many compliments on it. I ordered a 6 and an 8 and ended up wearing the 8. The 6 fit perfectly on top, but was too tight through the hips and created lines that would have stood out in photos. The 8 was large on top (I am a 36b and had to pad my bra to keep the top up), but fit elsewhere, so I wore the 8. Even though it was large on top I really loved wearing this dress. I usually shy away from strapless, but this dress was very comfortable. The top of the dress is lined with a clear rubbery material to help keep it up. Overall, I would recommend this dress!
