Perfect for day to night!
This dress is surprisingly sexy with a very cinched waistline. If you're curvy on the bottom it may run a tad too short for work. Good outfit w/heels for a Friday work day transitioning to dinner. Also great for a summer/fall look.

Makes a sophisticated statement!
Loved the sexy but classic neckline, and the tie at the waist allows for adjustment if the dress is just slightly too big or too small. Received so many compliments! Such a good summer find.

This skirt was a fun pick-me-up to wear to work on a Monday
Loved this skirt; very flowy with a relaxed fit around the waist. Wish I had gone a size down so that it sat higher on my waistline. Because of the fit, I opted to wear a loose marble grey sweater on top (instead of a black bodysuit as planned) that pinched at my waistline and extended a couple of inches below. I finished the look with a leopard-print coat and the pattern/color clash felt very Man Repeller-esque.

Didn't end up wearing it :(
This dress is such a show stopper and I've been dying to rent it since Day 1, so when I saw it was available for my Unlimited order I had to take a shot--even though I didn't have anywhere to wear it to. I ended up putting it back in the bag to return for a couple of reasons, one being that the zipper had a few threads missing around the base when I received it. I was, however, able to zip it up but only by taking the dress off, zipping it up a quarter of the way, and then putting it back on to zip up the remainder. The other issue I had was with the top; the cups are very small but also relatively loose for a B-cup, which means you probably want to use a sticky bra but you can't fit one in without it showing. IN SHORT: This dress is definitely worth a shot if you're a C-cup and are ready to handle a risky zipper. Wish it had worked for me!

Sophisticated sexy
This dress is really flattering and is slimming in just the right areas! I'm in my late 20s and I have the hardest time finding fun dresses to wear out that aren't leftover from college or pulled from my work lineup--this was perfect! The materials is slightly thicker than anticipated so I would recommend this for a fall/winter wedding or a date/night out in any season except summer. Highly recommend this and will rent again!

Love this dress!
This dress is very revealing if you have a smaller bust - I'm a 34B and it was really tricky to wear this without a bra, although I did end up going bra-less because I liked the look better. I wore this on vacation a couple of times, and I found that the best way to wear the dress was not to loop the belt through the designated hole, but instead to wrap it around the outside. This means the slit became a little higher but I liked that better. I would suggest trying that trick and/or sizing down. Also, the material was heavier than I anticipated so it felt more appropriate for a restaurant than a beach. I received a ton of compliments though, and would recommend!

Runs really large; perfect dog walking jacket!
I have two dogs and live in the northeast so this was the PERFECT early morning jacket to throw on when bringing the dogs out. I would recommend going one or even two sizes down on this one... it is longer than it appears in this photo too, so it covers most of your body. I felt like an overstuffed, orange marshmallow and friends & family definitely weren't afraid to tell me that...but this was too easy comfy to not wear.

Very flattering & classic!
I wore this for a work event and received so many compliments. I wore a 2R and am usually a 4, but was glad that I did because the dress cinched at my waist perfectly; not too tight, not too loose. The v-neck was cut higher, which was appropriate for work. There is something very elegant about this dress and I'd highly recommend -- wear it work and then swap it out for booties, a wrap scarf, and a leather jacket at night and it's a little bit edgier.

Gorgeous, romantic dress.
This dress is a dream! Perfect for all seasons, depending on how you style it. I rented this for unlimited and wore it twice: first to an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend in December and it worked well for a semi-fancy restaurant, and then a week later on a trip to Punta Cana in 80 degree weather. The lacing around the chest is very tight (I'm a 34B and it was snug) and is not flattering for your boobs, but the overall look is not really about that. I would suggest sizing up if you're looking for a more flowing, relaxed look. Definitely recommend!

Really classy & comfortable
I rented this for a wedding rehearsal dinner and am so glad I did! It was classic and timeless and it has these amazing, deep pockets where I kept my phone, lipstick, and credit card and they barely showed. Runs a bit large, I'm usually a 4 and I ended up wearing the 2. The only complaints I have are that it runs long (I'm 5'6" and it felt a couple of inches too long even in 3" heels), and the right sleeve wasn't attached to the armband so I had to safety pin it, which showed a bit. Other that those issues I would recommend!!
