Very fun and flattering
Wore this to a wedding in Brooklyn and it was perfect for the event. The medium and large both fit but I went with the L because the M’s shoulder/top arm area felt tighter. Both looked the same on me so I went with comfort. Very soft and comfortable and received a lot of compliments.

Perfect for fall/winter
Wore this to a black tie wedding and received many compliments. The colors were perfect for fall and I thought the dress was super flattering. The material is super soft and comfortable. I am usually a 10 but fit into the 8 just fine.

Fun dress for shower
I rented this last minute, a few days before my bridal shower. The weather was going to get cold and rainy so I needed a different option. I wanted a dress that stood out but wasn’t white for my bridal shower and this was a great option! I got lots of compliments. Super comfortable and lots of stretch. I also could have worn the 8 but the lining inside was way too short even though the blue lace fit better. The dress is also somewhat thin but shapewear might not work because of the cut outs on the side.

Wore for engagement photos
The color was perfect for our fall engagement shoot. I especially loved the balloon sleeves and open back. The fabric was super comfortable and I realize I should probably have worn shape wear underneath because any lines or bumps are visible. I loved this dress so much that I found it at Nordstrom and bought it a week after.

Perfect for beach wedding
The color and fabric of this dress made a really pretty and unique combo. I went with a M and the body fit fine and had lots of room. I have broader shoulders and did notice that the one shoulder neckline was a bit too tight on me. Not sure if sizing up would have helped with this. You couldn’t tell in pictures or in-person, just personal comfort.

Favorite dress so far
This is one of my favorite dresses I’ve rented for a garden party wedding. The color is even better in person and it fit perfectly. It was more form fitting on me so I did not have any visible wrinkling. I was able to wear a strapless bra and shape wear underneath and still felt comfortable. Got lots of compliments!

Amazing dress option for a wedding
I wore this to a black tie wedding. The color is amazing and it is a well structured dress. I liked the unique one sleeve feature as well. I am typically in between sizes with a wider waist and hips. The bust/cup of the sleeveless side was way too big for me so I had to use safety pins and sticky tape to secure everything. Even though the cup was really big on me, it didn’t look big in person or in pictures. The bust of the size M dress was the correct fit but the dress was too tight on the waist. Just something to consider for this dress.

Amazing dress
I wore this to a wedding and received many compliments! It is a really beautiful dress and the fabric and details made it a perfect dress for a formal event. I am usually a 10 but last minute the size 10 I reserved was no longer available. I was sent the back up size 12 and two other dress alternatives. These alternatives didn’t work out so I ended up wearing the 12. It was definitely loose and I would have loved having the 10 for the correct fit. The pattern of the fabric hid that this dress was too big so it was not noticeable in pictures.

Fun Dress! Will try to rent again
I ordered this for a NYE wedding welcome party but ended up wearing something else. Based on other reviews, I ordered the XL (I'm a size 10) but could have worn the L/8. The XL fit fine, a bit loose with the exception of the strangely tight cuffs on the wrists. The length would have been appropriate for many events. I would have liked the smaller size for a shorter skirt and more fitted look for the party. I would definitely consider this again for another party look!

Amazing Dress!
I wore this for a NYE wedding. I am usually a 10 but wore the 8 since the velvet had good stretch and I felt like the smaller size held me in better. It was comfortable the whole night and I received many compliments. The deep V and the slit of the dress were subtle which I liked a lot. Would definitely rent again for a winter event!

Beautiful fall/winter dress
I wore this for a fun microwedding event in DC. Perfect darker color for fall and winter. The material was much thicker than expected which made it seem more luxe. I am a true 10 but sized down and wore the 8. The 10 probably looked the same on me but I could tell the difference in the weight of fabric. The 10 felt heavier and baggier.

Fun summer wedding option
This dress was super comfy and the material was light and breathable, perfect for a summer cocktail attire wedding. I went up in size so the length was longer and more appropriate for a wedding. The open back was also really flattering. Would definitely rent again for other events in the future!

Pretty floral pattern for any time of year
This was a fun choice for a formal wedding. I loved the pattern and the ruffle details but the top is not the most flattering cut for my frame (I have wider shoulders and smaller chest). I'm usually in between a M or L depending on the structure of the dress. This was very flowy and I went with the M. The L was a looser fit throughout but because of the pattern I don't think anyone would be able to tell the difference. Sticky tape would definitely be helpful.

Classic and formal LBD
This was perfect for a black tie optional wedding. You can easily dress this up in so many ways. I sized up so that the dress flowed and was a bit more loose and more appropriate for the wedding I attended. I could zip up the Medium fine but it was overall much tighter and since I have a wider waist, the boning on the side by the zipper was uncomfortable. I would definitely rent again!

Loved this style
The color and cape style were perfect for a winter/early March wedding. I was worried about the how low the V cut would be but it wasn't bad at all (not sure how it would look for someone with a larger bust). I did need double sided tape to make sure everything stayed in place.

Loved this dress!
I received so many compliments on this dress! I thought it was a great option for a winter wedding. It had darker colors but still stood out with the embroidery and color. The flower buds are actually a light lilac. The material is on the stiffer end so that may affect your sizing. I was able to fit in both the 8 and 10 but the 10 was more comfortable due to the fabric/movement.

Many compliments on the dress!
I wore this to a wedding at the end of October. This color and length of the dress were perfect for fall. I feel like I didn't have to add any accessories besides earrings because the dress looked formal and elegant itself. The fabric had a very slinky/clingy feel to it especially around the midsection, so spanx will be your best friend.

Beautiful plum color. Received many compliments on the dress!
Super comfortable dress material. I liked the fit of the M better (tighter, fit my chest area better) but wish there was a hook and eye at the top of the zipper. I have wide shoulders so with any movement of my shoulders, the off the shoulder straps made the zipper unzip a little in the Medium so I felt more secure in the Large. The bust was a little bit big on me but overall, it didn't look different from the Medium.

I wore this to a black tie wedding in July 2015 and received many compliments on it.
Great pattern and light material for a summer wedding! I really liked how this dress still looked formal enough for a black tie but was still unique in the pattern and style compared to the other outfits for the evening. There is not much stretch or give in the dress so I ended up wearing my back-up option which was a size up.
