Wonderful Colors
I rented this for a bridal shower. I was 16 weeks pregnant with my second and so knew my regular dresses woudln't fit right. I am usually a 6/8, and the 8 fit very well even with a slightly expanded rib cage and larger bust. It's so flowy that the belly didn't matter. I felt festive and bright in thsi dress and loved it overall.

Amazing color and neckline
This dress runs super small which is why I rate it 4/5. As someone with a large bust I don't often have the experience of having something run big in the chest, and this dress had the unusual characteristic of being super tight overall but big in the dress. I took everyone's advice and went 1-2 sizes up and wore the 10. It ended up great and I enjoyed wearing the dress.

Great color
This is a very pretty dress that I rented for my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner in August. It's a beautiful dress, but the fit was slightly off. I am short, curvy with a 34DD bust. The dress was slightly too short than I was hoping, and the neckline kind of gaped open. Neither issue prevented me from wearing the dress, but since with a relatively large bust I almost never encounter the gaping neck line, I figured it was worth mentioning. As I think about it, for larger busts I think it just bridges over the bra rather than having enough material to go in at the middle

Outstanding Colors
I had to wear 3-4in wedges and it basically hit the ground, but it is a truly stunning dress. I received so many compliments on it and felt great in it. Easy to dance in and really fun to wear.

Absolutely beautiful dress.
I waited too long to rent a dress for my friends wedding and the dress I had my eye on was booked. This dress came up in the suggestions. I was hesitant to get it because there weren't any reviews yet, but I am so happy I did! It's stunning and I felt great in it. I had to wear adhesive cups for a bra as I couldn't go without one. It's not necessarily a con, but be prepared! The clasp at the top of the back holding thr lace part closed came undone once when I was dancing. Other than that, I loved loved this dress. I have wide hips and was worried it would be too tight straight down, but it's got some stretch to it. Will be looking to rent this dress again!

Perfect for my Bridal Shower!
The fit is true to size, but definitely requires some adjustment to cover the bust. I wore the size 8 mainly because someone had sewn a stitch in the top of the slip to make it more of a sweetheart neckline. Thanks to whoever that was! Otherwise I Think i would have needed lots of pinning to make it appropriate. I got lots of compliments on this dress!

This dress was so comfortable and also looked fantastic!
The fit was tru to size. I have a bigger bust so I went wit hthe 8 so I didn't have too much cleavage at a family wedding! The color is fantastic.

So many compliments and I felt FABULOUS!
I rented this dress for a Gatsby themed Christmas party and it was the perfect thing! I usually wear a 6-8 and the 6 fit great. I have a larger bust and that was no problem and I pinned it a little to show less cleavage. I'm 5'2" and it hit right about my knee. I felt like $1000000 in this dress and hated having to return it! The only con was that it was pretty heavy and thick so it definitely got hot with so many people at the party. Overall I'd totally recommend it!

Wore it to my friend's wedding and strangers kept complementing me! Love this dress!
This dress fit pretty well. The dress is a tight slip underneath with a looser lace covering. I ordered a M and L and went with the M because it was more flattering. The entire dress was flattering and I felt great in it all night. It's pretty comfortable too! I definitely recommend this dress!
