So comfortable
I rented this dress for diner en blanc (if you've never done this, check it out!). Part of the premise is that you don't know where you're eating so I needed something comfortable enough for any amount of walking but nice enough to hold up to the event itself... all while carrying a picnic! This dress was perfect... It was definitely fitted and snug so I felt like everything was held in place (if you know what I mean). I may rent this exact same dress for next year!

Perfect Vegas dress!
I rented this dress for a friend's birthday dinner in Vegas. I wanted something that was a little different for me and this did the trick. The red pattern had a little shimmer to it which I loved. Under the advice of the stylist I worked worked with at the Vegas store, I actually wore the dress backwards!! The scoop isn't nearly as deep as in the picture and it was a nicer fit. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it but I received a ton of compliments!! The material is a little thick but it helped keep it snug. Will definitely be renting this designer again!

Perfect for garden wedding
I wore this dress to a friend's summer garden wedding and it was absolutely perfect! It fit amazingly and was really comfortable. I added a silver belt which I thought worked well for my body type...

Beautiful color!!
This was actually my back up dress so I didn't end up wearing it... But I will absolutely be renting it for another occasion. Only word of caution for us larger busted ladies is that the waist ends up a little higher than you'd think. But the color is so stunning it's hard not love it!

Nice dress but felt old in it
I rented this dress for a wine tasting event but with my body shape and bust size, I felt very matronly (for lack of a better word). I didn't end up wearing it. If I was taller and thinner, I'm sure it would have been much more appealing.

Perfect for work cocktail party
I loved this dress... I felt classy without being overdressed. The material was super comfortable. I would absolutely rent this dress again for a different client function. I also paired it with a black belt and it pulled it all together.

Perfect dress for nice dinner out.
Rented this dress for a friend's birthday dinner. I loved it!! It fit perfectly and the silhouette design was really slimming. Even after a full meal I felt fantastic in this dress. I will absolutely rent it again. Would also be great for a business dinner or conference

Good dress for night at the theater
Rented this dress for a night out at the theater. The positives were how well it fit and how comfortable it was. I didn't expect the material to be so cottony. I thought it would have a more satin finish. Also the pleat at the stomach makes the picture look more crumply than the dress really is. Overall, the dress worked and I felt great, just wasn't exactly what I expected.
