Great Fit. Fun Party Dress.
I got this dress when my original choice became unavailable because another customer damaged it. I'm so glad I did! I loved it. It was fun to wear and looked great. I am large-chested, and found that it fit well (though snug) in the chest. The length was good, but with all the volume in the skirt, I wasn't comfortable in heels, so I wore flats. All-in-all a great rental, and I got a ton of compliments.

Cute!
This dress was adorable and comfortable. I ended up needed a smaller size than was available so the dress was roomier than I would have liked and is slightly less flattering in pictures than I would have hoped. I would consider ordering this again - but only if my size is in stock!

Slightly more "washed" than anticipated
I rented this dress but found that I didn't like the fabric at all. I expect it to be a much richer navy than was actually delivered. The navy as received (on both sizes) was washed out-looking with none of the vibrancy I expected from the pictures. I ended up wearing a back up dress I already had in my closet.

Adorable Fabric - Boxy Fit
I love the look of this dress. I had been hoping for a special occasion to wear it to, and an evening wedding in DC seemed like exactly the event. Unfortunately, the dress isn't cut to allow for boobs, the really flattened me out, and simultaneously managed to not really draw in the waist at all - so as I result I looked extremely flat and boxy. I ended up opting to wear my back up dress (another style) that evening, and have hesitated renting from this designer again.

Great Dress - The Particular One I Got Had Experienced Too Many Wears
I ordered this in a large because my preferred dress for the evening did not come in an appropriate back up size. Unfortunately the large was very worn out at the shoulders and back so the material did not lay flat across my shoulders - it ruffled in an unseemly way. Luckily, I wore my hair down, so it wasn't that noticeable but it both disappointed and distracted me. The dress photographs great, though. The detail in the lace and the overall quality of the fabric are apparent. The particular dress I was sent was unfortunately aged and stretched out in the shoulders from too many wears, I expect that's not a problem for all these dresses.

Meh.
There wasn't anything particularly special about this dress. I'd ordered it as a back up dress and didn't love it enough to wear it even when my original dress pick didn't work. The cut and style were a bit matronly - even with a statement necklace.

One of my favorite rentals ever.
This dress was absolutely perfect for a May wedding. The fit was great and I really liked the subtle detailing along the bodice. The fabric was a touch more casual than I anticipated (it's ever so slightly sheer - but lined), and not heavy or shimmery at all. But it worked wonderfully for the event. I ordered the four and the six and ended up wearing the four - it was true-to-size.
