Too short and unwearable
Impossibly short. You could see my tush without even needing to move in it.

I typically love me a sack-shaped dress - this one was just ok
The print and the fabric get an A plus. The shape gets a C. I typically love a loose fitting baggy dresses, but the proportions of this dress just didn't not flatter my body. While the whole thing was kind of loose, the chest really gaped unflatteringly and the length was awkward. Still wore it but unhearted it after renting.

Meh... hugely underwhelmed
I loved the print of the fabric and I really wanted this dress to be more flattering. It didn't quite fit right anywhere: the chest sagged, the waist gaped... Not a favorite.

Such a fun summer dress + it has pockets
Loved the fabric of this dress: I gave this excessively voluminous garment beautiful structure instead of looking like a sack (which it very well could have done). The dress had pockets which got a little lost in all that fabric. And the top was a little tight across my 32B chest when clasped (I may have undone the hook and eye when I sat down). But I really thought it was such a cute dress - a little discomfort be damned.

Light breezy drapey fabric. Stretchy fitted top. Standout color. One of my favorite summer rentals.

Really odd unflattering fit
I outright hated the fit of this dress. It wasn't you but it small, but it was short waisted and the pattern was cut such that it got wider (to accommodate the hips) all the way at my waist, making it baggy and unflattering. The fabric though was stunning. And it was good enough for zoom calls.

Bring your own sunshine
I loved everything about this dress: the fit, the color, that sleeve! The sizing is UK sizes with the US equivalent given - so I rented my regular US size 4 (UK size 8) and it was perfect. It hugged all my curves without being too snug. The chest was a little too loose on me, but this is a pretty regularly encountered issue for me (I'm a 32B). Overall, I absolutely loved it.

Obsessed
I literally loved everything about this dress. The fabric is light and breathable. The construction of the skirt creates this flirty frilly shape. The shoulders are dramatic and yet still very much balanced by the rest of the silhouette. I loved seeing previous reviewers accessorize with a belt. I thought that really brought the look together. Especially since the waist was a little large on me.

Josephine Baker Realness
I love everything about this romper. The deep neckline, the dramatic sleeves, the length of the shorts, the print. It's a lot to take in, and I can see how some of these things could cause an issue, but I love the way it looked on me.

The color of this dress is everything
Beautiful stunning color. Easy comfortable fit. The fabric is light and breezy, lined on top and in the sleeves, unlined in the skirt. My only complaint is just how easily this dress wrinkles.

Cute and sassy
I love this dress do freaking much. I'm 5'7" and it was the perfect length on me, though a little on the short end. The fabric was light, doubled up on top so that you aren't flashing people without an undergarment. I wasn't crazy about the elastic in the sleeves but it's definitely a look.

You definitely gotta be cool enough for this jumpsuit
There's nothing I don't love about this jumpsuit. It's heavy non-stretch denim in the brightest possible color pink. It's got belt loops and a ton of pockets, neither of which I used.

Not for the tame of heart
This dress is everything - it's got a tiered skirt, pouf sleeves, low cut. You'll stand out in all the ways. What I couldn't tell from the pictures was that it's a wrap dress with skinny ties so it fit perfectly. The fabric was a non-stretch cotton, but the dress was breathable nonetheless. All in all, one of my all time favorite rentals!

Looks stunning but may cut off circulation
This dress looked divine: the thick, stretchy fabric hugged every curve while creating a smooth silhouette. I typically wear a size 4 but it wasn't available so I rented a size 2, which still gaped over my 32B chest. And the piece de resistance, the strap that goes around the neck, is stitched in the front and has 3 hook-&-eye closures in the back, was literally so tight it was choking me the entire time I had the dress on. I would not have been able to keep it on more than 30 minutes or so.

Thoroughly weird in the best way
Such an eye-catching dress. Super light, almost sheer viscose-silk blend is ethereal. It's kind of a shapeless bag but just my style so I loved it.

Stunning ombré
Gorgeous fabric but the shape cut me a little strange: even though I'm very pear-shaped I thought the drape and the color of the fabric made me look like I was the same width through waist and hips. The dress looks great in movement but I didn't particularly love it in pictures. And the top gaped a little over my 32B chest.

Statement dress
Absolute stunner standout of a dress. The sleeves are a little tough to move in but the rest of it is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The fabric is heavier non-stretch cotton with lining at the top. The low cut was very flattering without revealing too much on someone small-chested (I'm a 32B).

This dress is perfection
This print is everything. The fabric is heavy and drapes perfectly. There is boning in the top, and there are pockets! There is a zipper in the back but the sewn on belt clasps over the zipper, pulling everything in even more. My 32B chest wasn't quite filling out the top, but you couldn't really tell because of the boning. This dress is so incredibly flattering and more beautiful in person than in the pictures.

A little more weird than I expected but still so cool
Who doesn't love a meow green tiger print? This skirt is definitely a vibe. The fabric is thin but feels super lush. There is no zipper but the part of the waist is elastic so it stretches. The front ties create this weird bunched up area... And yet it all works. I'd like to think I pulled it off, anyway.

Stay golden
This dress is so perfectly in your face - the slit, the sequins, the fit - it's all perfect. Dress the Population's size S always fits my pear shape perfectly without being too tight in the hips and too loose in the chest. This dress was no exception. The fabric is stretchy so all my curves felt hugged. I could have done without the shoulder pads but I didn't hate them. Perfect dress for a Zoom MBA graduation party!

Pictures do this dress no justice
This dress is so pretty and flattering on! So much better than I thought it would be based on just the picture alone. The fabric is so beautiful and opulent. The top fit my small 32B chest perfectly, and the construction really flattered my pear shape. I love love love this dress. AND it has pockets!

Gorgeous fabric, okay fit
The fabric of this dress is otherworldly beautiful: it's a little heavy, so it drapes gorgeously and shimmers as you move. The cut, however, did not look good on my pear shape. My 32B chest wasn't filling out the asymmetrical top, so the waist was dropping on one side. The under skirt was fitted in the hips, but the pin tucks in the front made me look like a had a kangaroo pouch. And maybe because I'd rented a long, the under skirt was awkwardly long, restricting my movements.

Sequins, cutouts, and a slit, oh my!
It's a beautiful dress, in a stretch fabric, lined. This dress is a lot - between the plunging neckline, the cutouts, the slit, and the sequins. It's not dress if you want to fly under the radar. I'm 5'7" and with 4" heels the 4L was perfect!

Showstopper of a dress
Absolutely stunning dress. The fabric is thin but not flimsy, with the nude liner stitched to the leopard print. It's styled as a wrap dress but isn't and has a zipper in the back. The fabric has no give at all but the fit is generous everywhere except right under the bust, where the zipper comes together. Having said that, I typically wear a 4 but sized down to a 2, which fit comfortably (I'm a 32B in the chest).

Can I give it more than 5 stars???
I've been renting gowns for WFH, and it breaks my heart I can't show off this dress. The lace is absolute perfection - so opulent! The cut is perfect - the stretch of the fabric makes it look as if it were tailored just for me. It's my all time favorite rental. I love it so much. I don't want to take it off.

So incredibly flattering - skimmed all my curves
I loved this dress - it's so much more flattering than it is in pictures. The dress is lined, and the fabric draped and skimmed all my curves without giving away the bumps and lumps. I rented a 4L and it was floor length on me (5'7") in 4" heels. It's a real stunner and so much fun to dance in!

Really cute dress, with a little older vibe
Really beautiful dress. Gorgeous color, tons better in person than in pictures. The fit was lovely. It has a tulle underskirt and then a liner. And it has pockets, which is always a hit for me. It did vibe a little older than what I'd normally wear for a formal occasion. I wouldn't call it matronly by any means, but it probably wouldn't be at the top of my list next time.

Regal perfection
Stunningly gorgeous dress made with opulent fabric. I think the richness of the fabric was my favorite thing about it. It's a lot of skirt, with heavy tulle and a liner under it - that's where all the volume comes from. And it has pockets! My 32B chest wasn't quite filling out the top and undergarments were tricky due to the halter front and keyhole back styling.

This dress is a work of art
Pictures do this dress no justice. It's absolutely stunning. The fabric is this beautifully embroidered lined mesh. The meticulous construction made the fit perfect on me. All the detailing and finishing was so thorough. It's just such an expensive and exquisite looking garment. If you're considering it at all, you should rent it!

Pretty dress, but you may or may not fill out the bust
Such a fun style but the fit was off on me because my 32B chest was absolutely not filling out the top. That said, I still had so much fun wearing it. Plus, it has pockets - how can you go wrong with that???

Magical ethereal confection
Head over heels in love with this dress. Light and ethereal. There are three layers of fabric: the printed sheer top layer which is cut in a full circle skirt, the printed silk (?) layer, and a solid liner. All the fabric and all the finishing are exceptionally high quality. It does run a bit large - I typically wear a size 4, I got a 2 for this based on other reviews, and it was still a bit loose in the chest (I'm a 32B).

Absolute standout dress
Such a standout dress. It skimmed all my curves and was so so flattering. The bust and arms were a little strange - I just couldn't get the folds to lay how I wanted them to. Plus, Theia dresses tend to fit me a little large so I rented a size 2 instead of my regular 4, and it was the perfect fit.

The pictures do it no justice whatsoever
Such a knockout of a dress. The fabric looks like this peacock pattern with teals, purpled, and fuchsias in it. The drape is flattering and forgiving. My only issue was that the top part was much too big on my 32B chest. Had I been moving much or especially dancing, the dress would have slid right off.

Sexy and flattering
This dress is so incredibly flattering and sexy. The fabric is reasonably heavy and lined so that it skims over curves without showing undergarment lines. It's stretchy so you can move in it. My only complaint is that the pattern is tricky in the bust to wear anything but a strapless bra, but without a bra the bust fabric sagged over my 32B chest. I think it would be more flattering on bustier people.

Beautiful if somewhat conservative dress
Beautiful dress with really special sleeve detailing. I think the specialness of this dress was in the beautiful box pleats in the back, which have the dress gorgeous proportions. Plus, it had pockets, which was clutch. Having said that, the dress was a little more conservative than what I'd want in a gown. But if you're renting it for the right occasion, it's perfect.

Pictures do this dress no justice
This dress is so much prettier in person than in pictures. The fabric is heavy, with this gorgeous metallic shiny thread throughout. It drapes beautifully. And it has pockets - kind of a huge plus. The top was a little too big on my 32B bust. I think I could have worn a size 2 and been happier with the fit.

Absolutely stunning silhouette
I fell head over heels for this gown. The fabric had enough stretch that the garment hugged my every single curve. But it was also thick enough that I didn't need shape wear underneath. Didn't want to take it off.

Pretty dress but not a favorite
It's a pretty enough dress, but my regular size 4 was too big on me so it wasn't particularly flattering. Dresses typically gape a bit over my chest but this one bagged in the waist too. I think if I'd gotten it in a size 2 I would have loved it because it's really beautiful otherwise.

Get ready to fall in love
Beyond stunning - this gown is so so gorgeous and opulent. You will feel like a movie star in it. The top is beautifully constructed, but it was a little big on my 32B chest. The skirt is SO much fabric. It makes the dress a little heavy (and on me the weight was pulling the dress down). And another favorite feature? It has pockets!
