Beautiful pattern, but...
I really loved this dress. It was just a bit too tight for me across my ribcage. Since there is no stretch where the detailing is, it just wouldn't work. I really did love it though!

Just not for me...
This dress was just not for me. It was a bit more bodycon than I anticipated, and I just wasn't comfortable in it. The dress is also quite heavy because of all of the sequins. The low-V back would prevent wearing a normal bra, so you would either have to go with a Nubra or none at all. Also, the length was definitely not cutting in on my 5'10" frame. It was very pretty, but just not for me.

I felt amazing in this!
This dress was lovely! I liked that the slip and overlay were in two separate pieces. The longer sleeve and high neck provided coverage while still feeling sexy. The boyfriend was definitely impressed, which only added to feeling like a million bucks. I felt like the length was perfect for me, which can be a challenge being 5'10". It for more like a sheath, which I preferred because fit-and-flare dresses typically don't flatter my shape. I don't have enough good things to say about this dress! If this one goes on sale, its mine for sure!

Stand Out Dress
This dress is beautiful. I didn't end up wearing it to my event because it actually felt too fancy, and I was a bit self-conscious about the open back and the mesh on the sides. I'm a curvier girl and I'm not used to wearing things that are that showy. Surprisingly, the dress did not feel too short (despite my being 5'10"+). I'm not wearing a bra in the photo, but will definitely add a Nubra if I wear it again, just for added comfort and support. When my sister saw me in the dress, she convinced me to re-rent it for a NYC trip that we're taking later in the summer. Hopefully I'll be down a couple pounds and feel great about rocking it!

Comfortable and flattering!
I loved this dress. The fabric is a bit heavier, but that was nice because it added some structure to the piece. The pockets were a fantastic touch! I added a belt because I preferred the extra touch. The length was spot on for me, not too short, which can sometimes be an issue since I'm just over 5'10". I wore this to an event where I was walking around all night, and it stayed comfortable throughout. It does have the tendency to crease / wrinkle when you sit, but because of the print I didn't think it was noticeable enough to care. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Beautiful, but felt too serious...
I rented this dress for my birthday, but did not end up wearing it. It seemed too formal for a celebration and the sleeves did not provide the freedom I was looking for in a dress. It was a bit stiff overall, but the lace and slight midriff showing was beautiful. It was a night of celebration, and the dress felt as though I was going to a very fashionable funeral (but as best dressed, naturally).

Beautiful dress, just not for me.
I rented this dress for my birthday, and it just wasn't right for me. I wanted to be comfortable and have range of motion, but this dress really didn't provide that. I loved the lace and the nude underlay, but the open back made me a bit self-conscious, and the shoulder/sleeve felt quite snug.

Very Figure-Flattering
I rented this dress to go see Idina Menzel in If/Then (AMAZING by the way). I didn't love the length on me, so I actually grabbed some fashion tape and brought the hemline up about 4 inches. It didn't stay the best, but it worked, and I thought it was much more flattering than it going past my knees. Just enough cleavage without being trashy. Very comfortable dress!

Just okay...
Honestly, I just was not blown away by this dress. I felt that it ran small, especially in the hips. Also, there are three strange corset-like stripes on the front torso that look almost like a mistake. Lastly, had the dress been a flattering fit on me, it still would have been far too short on my 5'10" frame. I would not rent this dress again.

Pretty, but short!
The color of this dress was very pretty. However, when I tried it on I was disappointed in the length, and found the dress too short for me. I had to go with another selection.

Pretty color, but could feel more luxurious...
I really liked the dress - it was comfortable and the color was rich. It was fairly easy to wear a "normal" bra with the dress, and it was easy to wear all night long. My biggest negative thing was that the dress was too short. I'm roughly 5'10", and the dress was above my feet and showed my shoes, which I really didn't like. Had I wanted to wear anything other than flats, I would have been out of luck.
