Didn’t wear it
I felt super uncomfortable in this dress. Would have had to go with the bigger size. Not super stretchy. The liner for up top was pretty low, so with a bigger chest, was an issue. I just felt like my stomach was hanging out with no support. I ended up last minute running around town late at night in a snowstorm to find something else. I also didn’t realize it was velvet when I rented (not great for a daytime spring event).

Cute with pockets
The dress is cute and can be dressed up or down. This ended up being perfect for an outdoor summer event. The pockets are generous enough I didn't need to carry a bag. It's a little on the short side, especially if you have a booty. When sitting it was basically bare bottom with nothing underneath me...if you know, you know. The top was enough room for the girls, but the side boob/bra action I could have lived without. There's also a little fold over piece in the cleavage that didn't sit well.

Very elegant and cool.
I wore this to an outdoor wedding in July on a day where the high was 102. I was worried the dress might be warmer than anticipated as sometimes the material isn't what you assume. This dress was very light and comfortable, even in the heat. The two fit well everywhere except the bust. It was quite tight across the chest and hard to move my arms, but the 4 would have been too big elsewhere. As long as I could lift my drink to my lips though, I was good.

I wasn't able to wear this dress as it was too short. About 6" too short.
If this dress had reached the floor like it was supposed to it would have been showstopping. Instead it looked like a too long tea length dress. It was awkward and weird, even without heels on. I had to return it. The material also was more of a knit than a print. I wasn't as in love with it in person as I was in the photo. Also the dress was a little old and dingy and the fabric was starting to pill.

Sequins, not metallic.
I guess you can't always guess the material from a photo. I assumed this dress was made of a metallic material, come to find out it was 100% covered in sequins. A bit much for a party thrown at our home. The dress was too small so I didn't end up wearing it, but probably wouldn't have anyways just cause it was a bit much.

This dress was extremely comfortable.
Normally a dress covered in sequins would be very tight and stiff. Not so for this little number. It was extremely stretchy and comfortable. It felt like wearing sweatpants, but looked a whole lot better. I didn't feel like the dress was all that memorable however, but at least it felt good on.

Beautiful Details
This dress is gorgeous. The fabric was quite itchy, so plan to wear a full slip underneath. It runs really small, order two sizes up. If the dress is too tight it will ride up.

Great dress.
I rented this dress for my boat/brunch Birthday Celebration. It was very flattering and comfortable. I will say the chest area was quite tight, especially when sitting down. But the dress didn't pucker or anything, so it was ok. I should have at least tried on the 6, but just went with the 4. Really recommend for a day event. Baby Shower, Bridal Shower, Backyard Party, etc.

Fabulous Dress!
I rented this dress for a Great Gatsby Themed Company Holiday Party. This dress was a hit. It wasn't too tight or too short (I was a little worried about the length). My only complaint was that the sleeves were actually different lengths (I think someone might have altered it along the way) and that the sleeves would "stick" to the body of the dress. Other than that, this dress was great. I got lots of compliments! Side Note: This dress is not just silver. There is red and blue printed on a lot of the sequins. It ended up being fine, since the dress reflects so much anyways, just wasn't expecting any color based on the photos.

This dress was cute and fun.
The dress fit great. The fabric held everything in and made everything smooth. I will say I was very surprised of the material. The dress is actually knit - like a woven blanket. Would be warm for a summer day. I did get the comment that I looked like a Cheerleader from one of our male friends. But a great dress that I felt great in none the less.

I rented this dress for a lunch bridal shower and it was a HUGE hit!
This dress is casual enough for day and dressy enough for evening. I thought I'd have a hard time finding shoes in my closet to go with it, but my summer wedges worked perfectly! It was a huge hit and probably prompted some additional rent the runway users! Loved it and LOVE the service!

This dress was perfect! And had POCKETS!
The dress was perfect. I rented it to attend 2 parties, my work holiday party and a 60's themed holiday party - and it was a hit at both! I loved the pockets! Due to the low back, had to go sans bra - but was still comfortable. I was sad to pack it back up to send it home.
