The perfect summer dress!
With a ruffled skirt and slightly puffed sleeves, this dress brings a little something extra. It's something you could wear day-to-night or even toss over your swimsuit. The perfect piece to pack on vacation.

The epitome of the perfect black dress.
Reformation can do no wrong. This dress is chic, sexy and sophisticated all at once. Dress it up, dress it down. It's the ultimate do-anything, go-anywhere, be-anyone dress.

The wedding guest dress that brings a little something extra!
Gorgeous midi length silhouette that's flattering on all silhouettes. Defines the waist and skims over the curves. Arm detail is beautiful but does spotlight the arms, so steer clear if that's not your thing.

Wore to art exhibit -- felt too cool for school!
Saloni does it again! This dress is silk but not at all clingy. It's cut so beautifully that it is so flattering. Felt incredible at the art opening.

Office-to-out, perfected!
This dress is beyond flattering thanks to the cut -- the ruffles and prints strategically highlight certain assets while drawing attention away from others. I wore it to work with white sneakers and then out with nude mules. When it comes to fit, it's an elastic waistband and pretty loose silhouette. I'd recommend sizing down if you're between sizes.

The Do-It-All Summer Dress!
Gorgeous dress with great ruffle detail that's super flattering. I'm more pear-shaped and this was a great fit. You will need a strapless bra, or no bra if that's how you roll. I'm wearing this to a friend's birthday on a Wednesday night, but would wear to a wedding with more formal accessories. Definitely going to hang onto this one for some time.

Second time renting this stunner!!!
Second time renting this dress -- really love it for summer formal events because it's lightweight while still fancy enough for a wedding or gala. The fabric is thin (need seamless undergarments), but the ruffles help to camouflage any bumps and really flatter your shape. Oh, and the high/low ruffles hem moves wonderfully and looks great on the dance floor.

Super flattering gown that made me feel like a million bucks!
Stretchy fabric flatters and the length was perfect for my 5'4" height with 3 " heels. Loved the off the shoulder, although needed a padded bra to full out the top (a/b cup). Felt amazing all night and danced for hours!

Sport, fun sweater with retro appeal!
Super comfy and cool. Does run slightly cropped, so recommend wearing high-waisted pants or sizing up if you have a longer torso.

Ultimate NYE look!
Super flattering and comfortable. Very low so be prepared with a plunge bra. If you are on the larger size up top, you'll definitely need one for support.

Great vacation dress you can toss over a swimsuit or wear to dinner! Ultimate style chameleon.
East, breathable and easily dressed up or down. Pretty low cut and reveals bras, so may be tricky for ladies with more up top.

Gorgeous dress that's insanely comfortable -- and flattering!
Gorgeous cut that skims over your curves. Super breathable fabric that isn't at all restrictive or limiting. Easy to dance, sit and eat in. Renting in navy for another event!

Perfect summer dress that goes to beach, dinner and beyond!
Went away for the weekend and didn't take this dress off. Tossed it over my swimsuit for day and at night, I wore it to dinner with wedges. It's the perfect breezy silhouette for hot summer days, but easily layers for chilly nights or AC. Also, the embroidery is beautiful as are the stripes. It's a preppy-meets-boho perfection!

The work pant you don't want to take off when you get home. Seriously.
The type of work pants you need on Monday mornings, because they go with everything, are beyond comfy with a wide-leg silhouette and drawstring wait, and instantly look pulled together. Did I mention? They go with everything!!!

The search is over: Meet the perfect white jeans!
The search is over: Meet the perfect white jeans! Cut with a higher waist and tailored wide-leg, they are made for an hourglass or pear silhouette, accentuating the waistline while skimming over the legline. Goodbye, skinny jeans (Who even liked them anyway?). I've worn these everywhere, from a weekend trip to the zoo to a Casual Friday at work. The tailored silhouette (unlike skinnies) is structured with a little room, so it can easily be dressed up for more professional occasions. I'm even wearing them as a write this review -- off to a beach trip for the weekend. They're true style chameleons. One call out, however, is the length. I'm 5'5" with shorter legs (tend to buy petite denim) and these were almost too long. I would suggest women under 5'3" to read the reviews carefully, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try them. You do you :)

Sexy yet sophisticated.
Who knew covered up could be so sexy? The sheer insets are strategically placed so they highlight all your narrowest parts, which lends the illusion of a slimmer silhouette. There's a solid patch along the back that provides just enough fabric to cover your bra strap, so bustier girls need not worry. I wore this look to a friend's 30th birthday, but it could definitely be dressed up or down depending on your choice of accessories. I'm dying to wear it with a faux-fur vest and booties for that boho-chic look!

The ultimate jean jacket!
Great look and feel with the raw edges. It's a boxy, shorter fit, however. It's not at all tapered.

Unbelievably slimming!
Great work dress! The fabric is thick and structured for a flattering fit. The midsection is tapered, but not tight, so it leaves room for those larger in the waist and the flared skirt accommodates pear shapes. There's no stretch, however, so size up if you are worried about fit.

Comfy, cute & versatile!
Really versatile dress, made for the day-to-night transition. True to DVF, this dress is comprised of a high-quality stretch jersey that super's flattering. Its a thicker material, so it's great for fall/winter with tights, but not so heavyweight that you can't wear it in warmer climates. I also loved the fit! It wasn't fitted but skimmed over your curves. Usually this makes me look like a trapeze, but the dress is cut so well that it lends a flattering, slimming illusion. I would recommend the cut for all shapes. Also, the color is gorgeous and a shade that works all year-round. Want to buy this dress!

Super chic for the city!
Really modern dress with a thicker fabric to flatter your figure. Small-chested ladies probably don't even need to wear a bra. The cut is edgy but especially flattering as its a traditional fit-and-flare. The colors are even more stunning in person and truly one of a kind.

Who's that girl in the red dress?!?!
This dress was beautifully crafted lace with a hint of stretch, so it was super easy to walk, sit and dance in. With the fit, it was true to size, aside from the armholes which felt stiff and tight on my frame. The cutout wasn't revealing, but tasteful. The mesh, however, was a light beige and wouldn't be ideal on all skin tones. Overall, an amazing dress! Can't wait to wear again!

Wore this clutch with 3 different dresses. Looks super expensive in person. Has a luxe look not that cheesy prom clutch look. Fits a phone, lipstick and has a great slot for cash and cards. Perfect size! Will rent this again!

Neon never looked so classy!
The bodice is tight and the mid-section is much looser. Not ideal for ladies with really large chests who are smaller in size.

Gorgeous embroidery made this dress the most unique I've ever worn.
The zip can be a little tricky with the embroidery. I had to try a few times to get it to zip. I'd recommend going a size up in your backup size.

A leather bodice (with stretch!) meets a silk midi skirt for a look that's sexy and classy at once!
This dress is universally flattering! Fitted bodice + A-line skirt = instant hourglass. The corset-style leather bodice has plenty of stretch to accommodate larger busts--I needed to wear a strapless bra to fill it out (size 34C)--but also is supportive and thick enough to be worn braless. The top gives way to a gorgeous pleated silk skirt that was tea- length on my 5'5" frame. The modesty of the skirt tempers the sexiness of the bodice for a look that leaves a little something to the imagination. On top of that, the longer length is perfect for spotlighting a pair of killer heels: lace-up sandals in my case. I should also mention that the dress was super comfortable. The high waistline and full skirt accommodates full bellies post wining and dining (in my case, 24 pieces of sushi). I'd even recommend it to a newly expecting friend. Beyond that, the fabric is real silk so the dress feels breathable and light despite the leather bodice. I wore the dress out for a date night, but would be comfortable wearing this to fancier occasions like holiday parties, cocktail weddings or a bachelorette. It really can do it all!
