This dress is lovely but I wasn't able to wear it because this size was way too big, particularly in the armpits. The material is linen and the skirt is draped and heavy with material so it floats and feels a bit magical. I'm 5-5 and would have needed to wear big heels to not have it drag on floor (just an FYI). Also, though this wasn't the reason i didn't wear it, the double belt was impossible for me to figure out. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how it make it lay properly (including googling and so forth), to no avail. Bravo to anyone that's able to master the the belt; you deserve an advanced degree. All in all, I would rent this again in a smaller size and just forgo the belt that's included altogether.

This is a pretty dress with high quality, luxurious material. There's a lot of fabric so the fact that it runs a little big meant I was kind of drenched in fabric when I wore it, particularly in the top section. The v-neck runs low/deep, so even though I dislike generally camisoles, one was absolutely necessary to make this work appropriate.

This top is lovely. The fabric is perfect for a hot muggy day since it's a super light and airy linen-like fabric. The material felt very high quality - it didn't feel cheap. The fit in the chest runs on the ever-so-slightly small side, so while the 6 worked fine and I loved wearing it, I'd try for an 8 the next time since it's meant to be an easy breezy fit. The length hit just at or slightly-above the hip (and I have a short torso); this made it feel a smidge shorter than I would have preferred in the perfect world. Even so, it's a pretty near perfect shirt that I will def rent again.

I really wanted to love this but ended up not even wearing it. I have what may be the world's shortest torso -- and the length of this shirt was awkwardly short for me. And to be clear, it's not meant to be "cropped"; it just ends up hitting at a weird place even for me. Though the embroidery is lovely, the length just didn't work with everything else going on.

The dress fits true to size. The neckline is pretty, and I used fashion tape to avoid any fashion accidents in the chest area. The material is both stretchy and semi-stiff, leading to a flattering shape. The type of material worked well for a hot summer day. The wrap-split is a bit revealing so beware if you need to sit in this around others; it's fine just walking and standing. (I'm behind my own desk when sitting so was fine.). The little tie at the waist is for show only, and i ended up needing to steam and re-tie it before wearing. Overall this was good for a one time wear. Lots of compliments received makes me think others liked it more than I did.
