Gorgeous color - safe choice for formal events!
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but I still HIGHLY recommend. I wore the blue version a few years ago to another event. This year, I rented the green as my first option, but fell in love with another dress I rented. BUT, I would have been 100% happy wearing this dress as well. I'm 5'8" and the 4R hit the floor in flats. If you want to wear heels, go for the extra length (L). The color is fabulous - a beautiful shade of emerald green. It looked awesome with gold accessories. I will definitely rent this dress for another event and would highly recommend. The dress came in great condition as well.

Simple, but sophisticated!
This dress was perfect. Simple black, but still had a lot of character. The skinny straps, high zip back and flowy bottom of the skirt were details that made this dress elegant. I'm 5'8" and wore flats - the 6 regular fit perfect. If you are planning on wearing heels, go to the 6L. I typically wear a size 4, but I'm a few months post-baby - so I opted for the 6 to give myself a little more room in the midsection. It was definitely fitted, but because the material was not thin/clingy, I felt like it really was forgiving and I wasn't constantly worried about it appearing too tight. I felt very comfortable in it. The dress came in great condition, as usual. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Dress - Fit Perfectly!
I was a little hesitant to rent this dress - at the time there were no reviews/feedback from previous renters about fit and experience. It ended up working perfectly - exactly what I wanted. Received lots of compliments! COLOR: It's definitely a purple-silver (lavender) like in the photo - and it's a straight skirt, no flounce. SIZE & LENGTH: It runs true to size - I wear a 4 normally and the 4R rental was perfect. I'm 5'8" and wore flats and the regular was the perfect length and just swept the floor. You couldn't see my flats. CONS: Be careful of the sequins and threading. There were a couple times that it started to snag when I was dancing, but I carefully fixed it. If someone pulls aggressively, the sequins and threading will rip, which isn't fair when other people are renting this dress after you! :)

Great fit, color for fall wedding
Loved the color! The deep purple worked great for a fall wedding. I typically wear a size 4, but I read in other reviews it might run large, so I ordered a 6 as well. The 4 fit perfect. The 6 was longer, but too loose in the middle. Only drawback: The length was a little tricky. I'm 5'8" and it hit mid-thigh, so I had to be carefully not to bend over or raise my hands. When sitting, I needed to definitely be attentive to pulling it down and crossing my legs strategically. Overall, I'm very happy with my decision to rent this one!

Just the right touch of sparkle!
These bracelets worked great! I didn't want to go to heavy on the sparkles - so I ended up wearing only two of them (I had a statement necklace on, so I didn't want to take away from that). I have medium size wrists and I had no trouble getting these on and off. They were the perfect sizing - I never felt like I was going to lose them while dancing.

Great Statement Necklace!
Came in a sturdy box with padding. It was in great condition - you could tell it wasn't brand-new, but the jewels and metal were still in great condition. It did hang a little lower than expected - but you can adjust the length with the clasp. Really popped against a royal blue dress that I also rented!

Perfect length and gorgeous color!
Attended a formal gala (for my husband's work) and needed a long dress to wear. I always wear black, so I wanted to get something a little more colorful, but not over the top. This dress was the perfect choice - it was a beautiful blue shade, but not too bright. I was worried about length due to some other renters' comments -- but the 4R worked great. At 5'8", I wore flat and the dress hit the floor (you could only see the toes of my flats when I walked). I paired the dress with a simple silver bangle, a statement necklace and small diamond stud earrings.

Perfect for vineyard wedding!
This dress was perfect for a Northern California vineyard wedding in July! It was very comfortable and the belt was the perfect addition to cinch the waist. My only complaint was that it wrinkled very easily. I ironed it before I left and after sitting through the ceremony, the skirt was creased. Also, the color is very very bright - which I didn't mind - but a warning if you think this is more muted based on the picture.

Absolutely perfect! I ended up renting it twice this summer!
This dress was perfect for a summer wedding! The color was stunning - not too bright - but the perfect pop of color. I was worried about length since I'm taller and have long legs, but it ended up hitting mid-thigh. I felt comfortable dancing and didn't have to keep pulling it down like some other shorter dresses I've rented in the past. I originally rented it for a summer beachside wedding in Newport, RI -- and my husband loved it so much that he asked me to rent it again for his brother's wedding a month later. If it's ever available to purchase I would scoop this dress up to add to my closet!
