Sparkle and comfort!
I wore this for a NYE drag show/dinner event and it was PERFECT! Super comfortable (fits like a sweatshirt, but a bit heavy with all the sequins) but had the glitz I wanted for a fun night out. The bell sleeves made it feel more elevated and fun.

Fun but a little frumpy
Decided not to wear this because it fit well but the overall shape (well, lack thereof) made me feel a bit like a pink blob. I LOVED the sleeves, but felt like it needed something to give me a bit of a waist.

Beautiful, comfortable dress but be mindful of sizing
I rented this dress to wear to an outdoor summer wedding at 26 weeks pregnant. Pros: -beautiful color/pattern -super comfortable and lightweight. Perfect for a summer wedding--not once did I feel hot or weighed down by the full length dress. -fit nicely over the bump Cons: -runs large in the top. I ordered a 10R and 12R (pre-pregnancy size: 10), but should have gotten an 8R. I ended up being able to use a couple safety pins in the back to tighten it along the seam and it was fine. -low cut

Beautiful color and great fit while pregnant!
Rented and wore this dress for a summer wedding. At 21 weeks pregnant, the flow of the skirt beneath the banded waist allowed for room for my growing baby bump. It was a little snug at the waist (I probably could have rented the 14 for extra room), but not uncomfortable. The colors were gorgeous and I got so many compliments!

Gorgeous color + flattering cut + pockets = endless compliments!
This dress was absolutely perfect! The high-low cut made it perfect for dancing the night away, the color was eye catching, and the pockets are always a perk! It definitely fit tight through the busy and torso (I didn't wear a bra, and probably couldn't have even if I wanted too), but I still had room to breathe and was comfortable after eating dinner.

So many compliments! Fun, fancy dress!
This dress was amazing! I received so many compliments! The color is great--it is described as "red" but reads as more of a dark pink because of the neutral lining under the lace. It was a little tight around the ribs/waist, but that also helped it be more supportive in the chest area (I didn't wear a bra). The fabric was heavy (felt like drapery material), which helped it keep its amazing structure but also was a little hot for a summer wedding. The length of the high-low was great: not too short in the front, not too long in the back. Everyone kept commenting on the "sexy back" of the dress! I would absolutely rent this again!

Beautiful dress but awkward fit issues
This dress had the potential to be amazing...the color is gorgeous, the skirt is flirty and fun, and the lace detail is unique. However, the fit of the dress was awkward. It's quite tight through the waist (not uncomfortably so, but tight). The top is too large (straps are too long and kept falling off; bust area was gapping). Someone who is much bustier than I am may be able to fill it out, but it would be quite low/revealing if that were the case. I was able to pin the straps in the back so I could make it work, but I was self-conscious about it throughout the night.

Bright, fun color and flattering fit!
This dress was perfect for a friend's wedding! The color was so beautiful and definitely stood out from the crowd! The fit was great, and the ties in the back made it easy to adjust to fit perfectly. I was able to not wear a bra, and still feel supported and comfortable. The length was great on the overall dress, but the under skirt was on the shorter side. I would definitely rent this again!

Perfect for a day at the races!
I absolutely love this dress! This is my second time renting it, and I would totally consider buying it to own! This time I rented it to attend the Steeplechase horse races in Nashville, TN. It was perfect for a steaming hot day because it's lightweight, breezy, and I didn't have to wear a bra! I got so many compliments and felt comfortable and confident in it all day long!

Gorgeous, fun, and who doesn't love POCKETS?!
I absolutely loved this dress, and got so many compliments throughout the night! I rented this for a formal summer wedding, and the style was perfect. It was conservative enough for the traditional church ceremony (long, full coverage on top, not too low in the back) but fun and spunky for the reception (the slight glitter/shimmer of the fabric). Perks: I didn't have to wear a bra! There is boning in the bodice and a bra-style clip to keep the top secured in place. The fabric of the dress kept its shape, but wasn't heavy or too stiff to move comfortably. Cautions: I ordered the 8L based on previous reviews that the dress ran short, and I am so glad I did! I wore 2-3" heels and it ended up being the perfect length. The pockets don't lay perfectly flat. This didn't bother me much but might bother someone else.

Even the bride said this dress was amazing!
This dress was awesome and I would absolutely rent it again (or even consider adding it to my permanent collection)! I wore it to a late summer outdoor family wedding. It was the perfect combination of classy but a little sexy with the open back. It fit beautifully, and the ties in the back made it easy to adjust. I wore it with self-adhesive bra cups, but it probably wasn't necessary and was for my own comfort. I wore it with 3" nude heels, and it was the perfect length in the back, just grazing the ground, and the front, just at my ankle. The color was amazing, and the material flowed beautifully.

This dress is awesome! I felt stunning, & it fit my body, my personality, and the event perfectly!
It was slightly large in the chest and waist, but I happened to have the skinny blue belt already and that solved the problem perfectly. It also was a little low in the back, so it was tricky to keep my bra strap hidden. It paired perfectly with a fun pair of multicolored heels, and I received so many compliments it was hard to send it back!
