Flashy dress perfect for a formal event
I received a lot of compliments on this dress! Couldn't wear a standard bra due to the low back; definitely requires a little planning ahead for undergarments. Length was good for heels.

Beautiful Color, Great Fit
This is the second dress I've worn from this brand and it did not disappoint! The color is beautiful and the fabric is thick enough that you can get away with no bra or shape wear. I typically wear a 6/8 in dresses and sized up for a better fit.

Beautiful print and dramatic look but unforgiving fabric
The print of this dress was vibrant and beautiful. The cut is really odd - I had to size up and even with a size up the hips were cut extremely narrow with no give in the fabric so it made the stomach area of the dress look wider than usual. I received a lot of compliments but wasn't comfortable in the dress. For the price of the rental I don't think it justifies the fit.

Playful dress - good for a daytime party
The dress was cute and playful but more of a day time fabric and fit. I sized up because the slit in the front went pretty high up. I'd recommend more for a day time party or shower rather than a wedding but I was comfortable all night.

Chic, elegant party dress with a bit of drama
I'm a wedding planner and wore this to a client's wedding that took place in an old mansion on a sprawling property. When you walk the high-low hem flows beautifully. I typically wear a size 6 but only the 8 was available and it fit fine. The tiny dots add a little style to the dress and the fabric in person looks expensive and the dress is well constructed/cut. The dress even looked good with flats. I received a ton of compliments on this dress, would rent again!

Breezy, summer dress perfect for a wedding
This dress was really comfortable and easy to move around in. The cut is flattering and slimming and the print is pretty in person. Plan on wearing a racerback or strapless bra because the straps cut in a little near the armpits/chest. I'm 5'9 and it was a little bit long so I'd recommend wearing at least kitten heels. I'd rent this dress again in the other pattern, I received multiple compliments from other guests at a wedding.

Well constructed colorful party dress
I wore this dress to a close friend's wedding and received compliments all night. The 6R was a little bit wide in the chest but I was comfortable not wearing a bra because the fabric was thick. The high low hem added some drama. The pockets were great but the dress did puff out a little bit making me look more hippie than I am. Overall I would recommend for a spring/summer wedding.

Form fitting but flattering
I rented this dress for a southern wedding in March. I typically wear a 6 or 8 in dresses and the 8L was extremely tight. I felt that if I sat down the dress might rip so I went with a different style for the wedding. You can't wear a bra with the dress and with a 34DD cup I had ample cleavage. The fabric is a pretty magenta color and the silhouette is flattering - just would definitely recommend sizing up.

Red Hot Showstopper
This dress was a showstopper! It was actually my back-up dress because the original style I had ordered felt too tight. I typically wear a 6 or 8 in dresses and sized up to the equivalent of a 10 long. I felt sexy, comfortable and received tons of compliments all night. I'm a 34DD and was able to wear this dress comfortably without a bra. The dress is form fitting without giving you the overstuffed sausage look/feel. Highly recommend.

Great fit, fun print and flattering cut!
Loved this dress! Fit really well, was comfortable and flattering. The bra portion can be adjusted and the buttons up the front could be unbuttoned for a different style. I'm a 36DD and was comfortable wearing this dress without a bra. I received a lot of compliments wearing it to a day concert.

Lacked the "wow" factor
I have to admit I was disappointed once I tried on this dress. The slit combined with the fire engine red color and ruching made the dress look a little too trashy. I expected the fabric to be a little more luxe as well. Skipped this dress for a gala and sent back.

Breezy and comfortable, great for a hot summer day.
The dress was really comfortable, easy to move around in and the built in beading at the neck can be dressed up or down with earrings. I wore the dress to a day time wedding on the waterfront in Brooklyn, NY and received a lot of compliments from other guests!

Beautiful print, not designed for busty babes!
I got so many compliments on this dress which I wore to a Central Park wedding. The print is vibrant and the style is forgiving if you're set on having a second piece of wedding cake. I'm a 34DD and found myself pulling up the dress throughout the night, it shows a little too much skin and you can't wear a bra with it. The corset boning was also coming out of the sides and front "V" poking my arms and chest from wear-and-tear from previous renters and the dress had a small rip in it when I received it. Definitely looks better with a belt to cinch the waist a bit.

Dress was a hit!
I got so many compliments throughout the night on this dress. It's incredibly comfortable/breathable and the overlay fabric added to the overall look. I'm 5'9", 34DD, usually wear a 6/8 in dresses and the 6R fit like a glove. The print of the fabric works well with silver or gold jewelry, would definitely recommend to other for a formal event.
