Gorgeous, flowing maxi!
I wore this maxi for my best friends Sunday post-wedding brunch! I got tons of compliments on this dress and it was super comfy and the color on the bottom radiated in person. I wish I had taken photos to post them! My only note for my C cup and up ladies, is it is a bit snug in the bust area. I ended up not wearing my strapless bra and it still created cleavage because it was snug! I suppose I could have worn the 4R, but the 2R fit perfectly everywhere else!

The dress fit like a glove!
I have rented this dress twice and absolutely love it! The first time was for my boyfriends sisters rehearsal dinner and the second time was for my best friend's rehearsal dinner/night on the town where I was the maid of honor. This dress does run a bit small! I'm about 5'4/5'5, 120-122 lbs and a 34 C (athletic build) and the small was super snug. Granted, once you get it on and zipped it looks wonderful, but there was no way I would have been able to slip on the XS and I typically can fit in XS's and S's. Other than that the dress flatters really well. If you love the color green and form-fitting dresses rent this! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Keep It Classy Dress

I didn't end up wearing this dress but it was pretty!
I rented this dress as a wedding guest because the reviews made me feel it was appropriate. I did not end up wearing this dress because it was extremely sparkly and I felt very heavy. Even if you are smaller (I'm 5'4, 122 lbs), I think if you have curves (I'm a 34 full C) the dress makes you look heavier. Recommend for less curvy and perhaps taller girls!

Gorgeous earrings in striking colors!
Loved these earrings and paired with a green Cut 25 dress. I have pierced ears and didn't realize they were clip ons so my only caution is they are a bit heavy ladies. Other than that gorgeous and peeked perfectly through long hair!

When I walked into the ceremony room to be seated and I heard half the room gasp and smile in my direction! Later on at the cocktail hour everyones girlfriend and wife came up to me and demanded to know where I got my dress and how it was absolutely beautiful.
I rented this dress for my boyfriends sisters wedding in Chicago over Labor Day Weekend. This picture does the dress no justice, it was STUNNING! I got complimented the entire night and told the dress was lovely. My boyfriend couldn't stop telling me how beautiful I looked. I think I definitely achieved best dressed next to the bride and wedding party. The dress fit like a glove and has a built in bra for extra comfort (you can alway wear a bra). It was super comfortable and very flattering. While I'm 5'5 and 122 lbs, I am a runner with an athletic build so rather "hippy" and I have a rounded lower body. This dress would look great on anyone who is pear shaped, hourglass or even slender because it creates an illusion of being long and lengthy. I typically wear a 2 or 4 in dresses so this is true to size. I ordered a long because I hate short dresses and while I wore about 3 inch heels and it was a tad too long, I loved the length and danced the night away. I promise it was the most STUNNING gown I've worn or rented in my life. And I wear a lot of dresses! Order away ladies! P.S. While not my original plan, I wore the dress with the Oscar De La Renta Ocean Jewel Tone earrings for a pop of color. Colorful earrings are the way to go with this dress as they definitely create a more fun/formal look!
