Beautiful great, great fit and very flattering
I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner and loved it. The blue color is very bright, the length and style in the front is very flattering, and the chest fit really well, which is something I struggle with. Highly recommend and definitely will rent again.

One of my absolute favorite rentals
This dress is beautiful - the colors are more vibrant in person than they appear online and it's just a comfortable, flattering, beautiful dress and was perfect for a wedding in FL. I would absolutely rent it again. The length is on the shorter side, so if I had the option, I would have gone with the long to allow me to wear a higher heel. If you are tall, you will definitely need a short heel for the regular size.

Amazing dress, snug on the chest
I absolutely adore this dress, but unfortunately, it was too snug across the chest on me and I could not make it work comfortable. Fortunately, however, my best friend was able to wear it and she looked stunning. It fit her like a glove and was so flattering and also so unique. I definitely recommend the dress, but would suggest sizing up, especially if you are busty.

This dress is amazing!
I rented this dress recently for a black tie optional wedding and absolutely adore it. I am about 5'9'' and the long length fit perfectly (I wore 2-3" heels with the dress). I was able to wear a regular bra with it, which was awesome, and the dress really just fit perfectly. I am typically a 12 in dresses, but depending on the designer sometimes require a 14, so I was a little nervous, but the 12 fit like a glove.

Great cocktail dress, super comfortable
I loved this dress and wore it to a formal engagement party. It was so comfortable and fit really well. The 12 fit great, but I went with the back up 14 because the dress is definitely on the shorter side, and it gave me more wiggle room. The slit goes up high, but not too high that it is tacky - definitely can be worn with or without tights. Also, you can totally get away with wearing a regular bra with this dress if you wear your hair down, or a strapless bra, so that is a nice perk too. That back is also really cute. It's definitely a safe, classy dress!

Perfect dress for a wedding
This dress was awesome -- great color, great fit, dressy enough for a nicer wedding and really comfortable for a night of dancing. It looks better in person than in photos. I fluctuate between a 12 and a 14 depending on the designer, but the 12 fit perfectly, so I would agree with the other reviews that the dress runs on the bigger side. The color is great and the lace is in good shape. I think the length is perfect too --it is on the shorter side when seated but still an appropriate length for a formal affair. I would definitely rent this again in a heart beat - my boyfriend loved it too.

Great dress for a wedding
Beautiful, elegant dress perfect for a night time wedding. It was a little snug on me in the waist because I am right in between a 12 and a 14 in dress size but I was able to make it work and got compliments all night. Definitely would rent this again!

Great dress, awesome color
Super cute dress with an awesome and vibrant color. It is definitely a heavier dress for summer events but can be pulled off for evening wear if it is a cooler night -- otherwise I would not wear it in the heat of the summer, as it has a few layers to it. The sleeves are definitely a little snug, but they are manageable. The pockets are great but poke out a little bit and may not be flattering for all body types, but in general, I thought the dress was comfortable, flattering and photographed well and I loved the color of it.

Didn't wear the dress
The dress was super cute but unfortunately it did not work with my body type. For starters, the zipper was very cheap and was getting stuck when I was just trying to unzip the dress to try it on. I am pretty busty and the chest was way too tight, squeezing everything into an awkward uniboob. The dress also bells out at the hips a little which was unflattering for my body type, making my hips look much larger than they are. The dress would definitely be cute if it fit right but unfortunately it just did not work for my figure.
