Vibrant for NYE
I rented this to wear for New Years Eve at the beachy resort in Florida. The color is beautiful, I would call it persimmon -- it is a tad more orange than in the photo. The fit was amazing for my shape. The v in the front was the perfect depth, not too conservative but definitely not too low. The fitted waste with the slightly flared skirt was extremely flattering. The length was a tab longer on me than the model, I would say an inch above my knee. I received compliments all night and would absolutely rent again.

Perfect for Coastal Vacation
I rented these to wear while in vacation in Florida over the Christmas holiday. The white is kind of pearlescent and reminded me a little of a shell. I wore them most nights to dinner. I liked them enough but don't think I would rent them again.

Was hoping for a vintage throwback but ended up looking a little bit "too sweet"
This dress reminded me of Mad Men and I immediately wanted to wear it. However, the ruffle, bow, brocade, and beading all made this dress a little bit overwhelming. Also, on me, the bottom of the ruffle hit at the widest part of my hips which only accentuated them. It would probably suit nicely a taller woman with a more straight figure--the ruffle and bow would help create the illusion of curves. But if you have natural curves, you should probably pick something else. I ended up going with the backup dress I ordered....

Simple yet stunning
This was the backup dress I ordered but I ended up going with it instead. The one shoulder makes it a bit more fun and interesting than a plain black strapless dress. The dress might run just the slightest bit big, but is cut on the bias so it's very figure flattering and body skimming through the middle (at least for me). With a fun box clutch and some sparkly earrings I was good to go! I felt very understated yet elegant.

A women told me she saw my dress from across the room and that is was the best she saw at the party!
The dress was stunning. Such a beautiful shade of mint and the intricate embroidery made it truly one of a kind. The top fitted part (not the overlay) ran the tiniest bit big, but with the overlay everything was held nicely in place. Overall the shape was very comfortable and flattering since it flows out from the waste. Wore it with 4'' heels and the length was perfect. Would absolutely rent again.

Perfect dress for my bachelorette in the City!
I rented this sparkly beauty for my bachelorette party in the city. I received a ton of compliments on it. The fit was great; straps are adjustable and the elastic waste makes is very comfortable. I think it would be a fun rental for any special night on the town.
