Nice material but for small bump
Material is nice but and I could see the side panels working for a small bump but it ran a size large and wouldn't stay up At 29 weeks pregnant

Shimmery
Loved the shimmery thread in this raspberry colored dress. I wore it to dinner (and even my husband liked it) and to work. Very comfortable. Substantial material. True to size but with room for my baby bump

Elegant for everyday
This is an elegant print and material and could certainly be dressed up. The fit just wasn't quite right for me. I'm typically an 8 and the bust was tight however the shoulders were loose and kept slipping.

Step up from standard black frock
The ruffle detail gives this a step up from your standard black frock. I'm typically a us 8 and The shoulders and chest were a little small in relation to the mid section which has plenty of room for my 29 week pregnant bump.

Phenomenal green hue
The color of this dress is phenomenal in person. And the giraffe-like print is a nice scale, flattering. Fit runs a little small. Wore my normal size (medium) and neck and arms felt tight though they loosened slightly throughout the day. Thick sweater material has a nice stretch throughout the body for my 30 week baby bump. Warm and forgiving - wore standard undergarments.

One-of-a-Kind Ruching & Colors
Fits true to size. The material is very slinky and stretchy and my true size (medium) allowed room for my 30 week baby bump. I tried the large too and it was loose causing the waistband to droop. This is fitted but oh so flattering. The ruching in the busy does accentuate your top a bit. Chic colors and pattern. Can be worn belted or not.

Stand-out color & actually comfortable
Color popped amongst a sea of black dresses. At 5'9" it hit a few inches above the ankle which was perfect for a black tie fall wedding. I'm typically a 6 top and 8 bottom and the size 8 dress fit true to size (a bit large up top as expected). I was surprised at the amount of stretch throughout the waist and legs which made it comfortable to sit and dance. The peplum ruffle is silky, a beautiful contrast to the lace. My only complaint was the short length of the rushed bust area.

So nice I rented it twice
One of my all time favorite rentals. Received tons of compliments! Rented it in the summer in a size 8 which was way big but made it work. So I rented it again in a size 6 which was a much better fit, though the dress is designed to be loose. Wore it multiple times with wedges, mules and sneakers!

Brilliant blue
The colors in the dress really pop. It's very formfitting. I'm usually a 6-8 and the 8 was snug but not uncomfortable. Wore a standard strapless bra.

Flower power
Love Dodo's funky flower prints. This dress was very slinky and fitted, hugging your curves. I rented for a wedding but didn't like how the neckline hit so instead I wore it to work with a white oxford over the top.

Racy lace + print
I love the sculpture construction of Self Portrait and this did not disappoint. I find SP usually runs small so I sized up to a 10 (I'm typically at 6-8) and it was too big but I was able to fake it a little by rolling the sleeves under and tightening the waist tie. Stick with your true size. This dress NEEDS to be steamed or pressed to looks its best and make the lace lay right.

Hourglass shape!
This dress will give you an amazing hourglass shape. I'm typically between a 6-8 and while the 6 fit, I would have preferred a little more room in the 8. The material and buttons dress it up a little and I couldn't find a jacket that worked well with it. At 5'9" it was perfect midi length but would likely be too long on shorter ladies

Edgy
Boxy fit and neon detail made this edgier than other leopard prints. Wore with a black denim skirt and also with black distressed denim. Size 6 was true to size.

Easy work wear
This dress is actually yellow and a deep blue (not black) so I struggled a bit with matching shoes but the colors are rich and beautiful. The 42 fit perfect - I'm typically a size 6-8. Easy to thrown on for work.

Plaid Statwment
The balloons sleeves and classic plaid print definitely make a statement. I'm typically a size 6 top and have a smaller bust - the medium fit well. The only negative was the waist line which is cut high in the front at your belly button and longer on the sides and back. Therefore I had to tuck it in to not show any skin.

Great jumpsuit for transitional fall weather. Wore with a blue denim jacket, ivory denim and a black leather jacket. Has adjustable shoulder straps which is necessary for me at 5'9". Fit great.

Preppy plaid
Loved this preppy plaid in subtle colors. Typically a size 6-8 and the medium fit perfect. This sweater is cropped but worked great with high waisted jeans/skirt. At 5'9" cropped sweaters are almost always to short on me but not this one. soft, quality material and not too itching in comparison to most wool sweaters. Arrived new with tags. Wore with blue denim, ivory denim and a brass colored skirt.

Wear with everything!
Loved this silky, brass colored skirt. Dress it up or dress it down! I'm typically between a 6-8 and the 8 fit great. Skirt is full length. At 5'9" the length was perfect for showing a little ankle with sneakers. But with booties, no ankle shows. Might be too long for shorter girls. The material is medium weight but I wore spanx underneath for a smooth fit and to avoid underwear lines. Waist hits high at belly button.

Standout Pattern
Thick, high quality material. Beautiful, bright colors in a wavy stripe pattern than really stands out. Fit is generous so consider sizing sown IF you're between sizes. I'm typically a size 6-8 and medium was roomy. At 5'9" length was fine for work. Arrived new with tags. Beautiful piece.

Beachy vibes
Lightweight material made this a great dress for hot beach days. Just remember to iron it before wearing. Pretty true to size but the top pieces were a little small. I'm typically a 6 top and 8 bottom and this dress was a 6. I didn't wear a bra but might have been able to squeeze in a nubra underneath.

Tropical print!
Loved this bold print! At 5'9" rompers are tough for me to pull of but this one worked. The strap length is adjustable in the front which was necessary, needed a few pins to get it just right. The bodice has boning which is a bit uncomfortable but manageable. The raw silk like material looks rich but is a little itchy. Overall great looking but not the most comfortable

Retro style in a beautiful turquoise. Forna dressy occasion but could work for day or night. Thick, quality fabric. Fit is TTS. Arms aren't particularly tight as one might expect in this style. Love this dress but necessarily on me.

Details!!!
The intricate pattern, button closures and silky material made this a standout rental. Colors were striking! Unfortunately the empire cut accentuated my tummy giving me a pooch but a size up may have been more forgiving. I am typically between a 6 and 8 and went with the smaller size because that's all that was available. The chest is pretty low cut and while I'm not very busty I wore a nubra as a regular bra would have shown. Length was great on my 5'9" dreams.

Pretty in pink (runs small)
This dress is actually more of a pinky-nude with a subtle watercolor effect which was a pleasant surprise. The fit is smaller than expected. I am typically between a 6 and 8 and this 8 is a little snug in the thighs. The slit is also a bit revealing. The material is slinky and pretty thick but not lined.

Easy silk shirt dress
Easy to wear shirt dress but the pattern and asymmetrical hemline added interest. Fit true to size and material was thin/breezy for a hot NYC summer day but also high quality silk, not flimsy.

Sleek and forgiving
Sophisticated and svelte for work. Colors really pop and high quality material which is think but not heavy. Very figure flattering for hourglass with an appropriate slit. I am typically between a 6 and 8 and this 6 was a little roomy. Note there is a clasp at the bust which worked fine for me but might be a little showing for aiming who is busty. Very happy with this rental.

Gorgeous gold (but size up)
Very pleased with this dress for my birthday dinner but could definitely be considered more cocktail attire. Loved the color, pattern, fit and material. As other users advised, I sized up to a 10 (usually between a 6and 8) and was very a little roomy but I'd prefer that to being too tight. Wore a nubra because the back is open. At 5'9" the length was great. One pointer: you may need help with the buttons on the neck.

Breathable Summer Jumpsuit
I was a little underwhelmed by this rental because I expected the material to be a little dressier and silkier. It was actually very breathable which was nice for a hot summer night out but I didn't feel super special in this. Added a white denim jacket and wore it to the office too. Nice jumpsuit just not outstanding.

Silky Emerald Pants
Loved the color and the fabric was high quality but these pants run very big. I'm typically between a 6 and 8 and the waist in the size 8 was huge, sitting low on my hips (making for a very saggy crotch) rather than up at my waist. Safety pins helped a little but I really needed a smaller size.

Feminine print + lined silk
This silk dress is fully lined which is quite nice however the lining is black and kind of shows through the white silk panels. The floral pattern is feminine and the dress hangs really nicely. I'm typically between as 6 and 8 and the size 8 was a little loose on me but helped make the more conservative for work given that it's above the knee.

Darling lightweight denim
Wore to work on a Hot summer day and was very comfortable. Girly shape and lightweight fabric. I'm usually between a size 6 and 8 and the 6 fit great. The neckline is a little low but i was able to easily hide a safety pin to keep it in place.

TTS. Wrinkles a bit but it's black so easy to hide. Awesome for work - dressed up with a statement necklace or leather jacket and loafers. Dressed down with sneakers and denim jacket on weekend.

Light and breezy!
Cute but not my favorite! The silk is soft and pattern pretty and love that you can tie the wait to cinch it in. But I felt a little teacher-like when dressing it up for dinner. I liked it better dressed down with a jean jacket and tennis shoes.

Cute and comfy but runs big
Typically between a 6 and 8 and the medium was quite large on my top. Straps aren't adjustable so I wasn't able to make shift. Didn't wear it. Fully lined so while You can see the Pockets a little through the front but the backside was frontally fine. Arrived new with tags.

LONG straps! Vibrant color.
TTS BUT The straps are incredibly long and not adjustable which I've noticed with several maxi dresses from this designer. Note I am 5'9 and have a long chest/torso. Used a safety pin to pull the straps together on the back and topped it off with a white denim Jack for dinner on vacation and black leather jacket for dinner in the city. As shown, this doesn't touch the floor. Shiny but not silky material with a slight pattern.

Too short to wear. I'm 5'9" and wearing jeans with a 9.5" rise. Maybe shorter girls with super hi rise jeans could pull this off.
