Rocking volume in the skirt, simple bodice
Such a nice change of pace for cocktail party attire. Was initially worried about print being too space-y but it's almost abstract from far away. The tailoring of the skirt is spot on and the high-low cut is super flattering. First time renting from this designer and will certainly do so again.

Perfect holiday dress
Worn for Thanksgiving dinner. Length was right above knee on 5'10" frame, which kept it family dinner appropriate. Loved the interesting, unique print and deep emerald color. Highly recommend for any holiday party. Peplums are sleeker to body than pictured (in a good way.) Great neckline for big jeweled necklace.

Tailored, unique sleeve and great color
Perfect for Christmas dinner - enough coverage to be family-appropriate but interesting cut on sleeves and raspberry hue kept it modern. Will definitely rent again. Rented 8 and 6 and wore 6.

Comfortable and gorgeous
Loved this dress so much I'm re-renting it. The fabric is thick and the cut form-fitting, which makes you feel smoothed out and tucked in in all the right places. Perfect amount of flare in the skirt. The graphic pattern is beautiful and visually interesting.

Comfortable dress for hot weather weather, good fit for tall frame
I wore this dress for a black tie wedding in early summer at a formal venue. The dress' length made it feel formal, but the material was light enough not to feel constrictive. The wrap-front and open back were flattering, but the slit in the bodice is barely noticeable. I wish it would have been more visible, as it would have broken up the long column of fabric. Ordered the 8L but was not available - 8R was a little short in 4" heels (5'10") but made walking up and down stairs easier. I agree with other reviewers that the skirt is a bit transparent if you catch the light wrong - but a strategically placed hand / clutch / tuxedo jacket will keep you safe!

Gorgeous back on an otherwise conservative-sophisticated dress
The dress got a lot of compliments and I'd definitely wear it again, but it was a bit winter-y for the occasion (early September wedding.) The colors are very beautiful (more turquoise/green in the metallic thread of the fabric) and pair well with silver. The brocade fabric is a little warm but held up well to travel and had good structure (didn't wrinkle or stretch out over the course of the night.) The back is very beautiful and is a nice balance to the classic cut of the front. Lots of compliments on the back bow.

Beautiful print and great sleeves, but very short and tight
I chose this dress for a rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for a friend's wedding. I loved the print and the cut of the back (very open, stick-on bra only) but the dress is much shorter, tighter, and stretchier than I anticipated. I am tall so the length might not be a problem for others, but I was a little self-conscious about it (especially being in a church for the rehearsal). The dress is also cut very slim in the skirt - much more of a tight look than I expected, so I sized up. Overall, I probably wouldn't rent it again given the cut/size, but I loved loved loved the print and architectural sleeve. Best parts: cut of the sleeve, open back, print Wish I could change: length (not long enough,) more breathing room in skirt

Perfect for a wedding luncheon or graduation
This dress' print got lots of compliments and has a great '60s era full skirt with a dramatic back. It's great for a daytime occasion on the formal side. The front is conservative but the back livens it up. Stick-on bra only.

Great structured bodice, fun print, perfect color
I wore this dress to a summer semi-formal fundraiser and it was a perfect fit, literally and figuratively. The print really pops and the color (coral/red) is a great complement to a summer tan. The bodice has great boning so it gives you good structure and the length is perfect on a tall frame (not too short, above the knee). I have broad shoulders and usually don't like one-shoulder dresses, but this one has a bit of a higher rise on the neckline that is super flattering. Highly recommend this dress!
