Beautiful
This dress was beautiful and I only didn't wear it because the vibe was off for the event. The fabric was soft and luxurious, comfortable while looking beautiful. Probably best for a small chest, I loved it

Could be cute, but runs small
This dress was very fitted in the waist and oddly poofy in the skirt. Wasn't love and I didn't wear it.

Gorgeous dress, super high quality, but runs very large!
This dress was absolutely gorgeous. The lace is heavy and substantial, so it doesn't feel too precious. I usually wear a size 4/6 and would generally try a Small but the XS fit me perfectly, besides the neckline being a little snug. I got lots of compliments and felt like it was a really classy look overall without being too sweet or girly. I wish I had a picture, my husband says it was his favorite of all the dresses I've rented!

Larger than expected, still funky and bright
I don't have a great photo of the earrings but at least you can see the scale of them here. They were larger than I thought they would be, and hung a little awkwardly on the ear, but weren't uncomfortable and provided a really funky cool pop of color.

Great pattern, fun dress
I absolutely loved the colors and pattern of this dress. The fabric was nice and light, perfect for a July wedding, although that did make it prone to wrinkles (I didn't really fuss over it). It was comfortable enough to wear all day long and dance all night.

Unique, fit great, looked amazing
I wore this to my friends wedding in September and it was exactly perfect for the occasion. I might recommend some fashion tape, you definitely can't wear a bra because of the deep V, but I didn't have to worry about it much because the dress fit great. The fabric feels really luxurious and drapes nicely, no worrying about wrinkles or anything like that. I got compliments all night long!

Statement sized but still comfortable
These earrings were beautiful. They're large enough to make a statement, weren't too heavy, and the subtle color looked gorgeous with my patterned dress.

Cute but not over the top.
While these weren't exactly what I hoped for (you can just barely see them in the pic, I was hoping for more of an impact) they were delicate and a little funky. I definitely got compliments on them, and they were very comfortable to wear all night.

Beautiful color, trendy, very flattering.
This jumpsuit was even better than I imagined. The cut was very flattering, I looked tall and thin while wearing it and got compliments all night long. I did need to wear super high heels, but that only contributed to the long line created by the flowy, wide leg. It does run a little large I think, and you'll need to either go bra less or wear a sticky bra, because it will likely show on the sides. Possibly my favorite rental so far!

Bright colors, lightweight, fit perfectly.
I wore this to a beer tasting event. It was my birthday rental, so it's not something I would have normally rented for, and I was just looking for a trendy daytime outfit. This romper was exactly perfect. The back is open, so I went braless, and it has pockets. Sadly, there aren't any pictures of me wearing it.

The perfect bright, fun dress for a summer day party!
I rented this dress for my best friend's rehearsal brunch. I wanted something that would be bright and stylish, classy enough for a family affair, and easily paired with a cardigan if the breeze off the ocean was too cool. It definitely satisfied all of those criteria. I ordered the 4 and the 6, and probably could have worn the 4, but it was a bit tight around my ribcage. The back cutout is placed so that you can easily wear a regular bra, and there are even tiny little clips in the dress to hold your bra straps in place - a great little feature. This is definitely a high quality dress, and I'd probably buy it if I found it on sale!

I wore this dress for my friend's bachelorette party in NYC (she rented too!) and it was perfect!
I ordered my usual size 6 and the 4 as a backup, and ended up wearing the 4. I didn't really feel any difference between the two sizes, but usually I am somewhere between them anyway. I got tons of compliments on the hidden sequin underskirt. I did need to pull it down from time to time so that it actually showed, but otherwise the dress was very comfortable while still looking great!
