Not for belly girls
I wanted to love this so badly but it just didn't look good on me. I am pregnant so take that with a grain of salt, if I wasn't and had a flat tummy, this would have slayed. The hips are definitely exaggerated so if you have any kind of belly you just look bigger overall. I will definitely be trying this silhouette again when I lose the baby weight.

Elegant wrap
Fit beautifully and was as feminine and elegant as it looks in the pictures. The rap was long enough that I didn't feel it was revealing too much like I do with some other rap styles. Would rent again.

Unique silhouette
Absolutely loved the unique silhouette of this dress. I'm in my first trimester, and the very unique waste line hid my early bump perfectly. The neck line, the sleeves, and the material make this dress so unique and beautiful.

Gorgeous
Absolutely loved how this dress felt on. It did gap quite a bit at the chest, and I had to tie the neck very tight, which was difficult because the necktie is braided in the front. Overall gorgeous silky statement dress.

Love the retro style. The material was thick and the buttons stayed closed with a hook and eye. Super flattering style to hide my 1st trimester bump.

True to size for me
I saw a lot of other reviews say to size up so I did, plus a 14 was the only close size available, but it was definitely too big. I was able to cinch it for the night with safety pins but a 12 would have been perfect. For someone with a fuller chest it probably would have been fine but I would have felt more snatched in the 12

Cool but not my fave
Got this to wear with the matching pants which I ended up sending back because they had rips at the knee seem. It is nice on its own, good quality and fit, but didn’t end up needing it for the look I was going for.

Love the fit
The voluminous sleeves and beautiful green print are giving wicked for good in the best way. The body fit like a glove, but the bow actually ties at the back not wrapped around the front like in the picture and for me it just didn’t sit right when I tried to style it like that.

Nothing special
Eh. Just didn’t do anything for my figure. Not a particularly pretty style or material. Not the statement coat I was hoping it would be for my trip to Europe. Didn’t even end up bringing it.

Tight on top
I absolutely loved the print and style of this dress. It just barely fit on top. I had to wear a camisole under the low neck line because it was too tight across the chest even to pin and I struggled to get the zipper up. It was still very comfortable all night and I got a lot of compliments. It is a lot of dress though!

Should have sized down
Maybe it’s me and I’m not an actual 12 like I think I am but the baddest was very loose and I definitely could have gone down to attend. I got so many compliments on this magnificent work of art of a dress but I know it would’ve been even more flattering if it was more fitted

Perfect in Paris
Wore this to a work event in Paris and absolutely loved the unique charming print and perfect fit. I didn’t realize the material was so light, but I paired it with black tights and tall boots for a cold weather look. Would definitely rent again to wear on its own in the spring

So flattering
I didn't take a good picture of myself in this top but it was surprisingly super flattering. I pinned the low neckline a bit higher with a safety pin and everything stayed in place. I would def rent again in multiple colors.

Rented twice!
This dress was so good I kept it for two rental cycles! The bold print, the flattering silhouette that's not your typical shirt dress, so so good. Got so many compliments. I wrapped the ties around my waist and tied it in the back for a more defined look. Will def be renting again!

Needs a hook and eye
This dress would have been great if the zipper didn’t keep falling down!! It honestly ruined it for me, even though it was cute. I also wish it was even more snatching, I even got a 10 when I’m normally a 12 and I still felt it could have been tighter

This dress was a hit at a Miami party! The XL was still tapered and flattering but still loose and not clingy. Could have done a large for a more fitted look.

I loved how this dress made me feel! I do wish I sized down so the bodice would have been more snatched. I don’t usually wear such a low neckline but it was so flattering. Would definitely rent again!

Super stylish
Wore these almost every day of my two month rental (loved them so much I didn't swap them out between orders. The double waist cinch button made them so versatile and able to be wore higher waist or low slung. Took off a point because the crotch was baggy which was the only thing that prevented me from buying them, just so I can try other similar styles. If not I may come back to these!

Not as flattering as you'd expect
Maybe it was the size, I should have gone with the large, but it was unavailable, but a wrap dress is supposed to be universally flattering, and I didn't think it looked that great on me. The belt straps are too short to wrap back around the front to tie so I had to tie it around the back which to me didn't look as flattering. Pretty color though.

Short but chic
I absolutely loved the style of this dress and unlike similar styles it was more tapered and therefore flattering, but just a bit too short for me. I ended up wearing it unbuttoned over a long sleeve bodysuit and jeans which looked chic, but I don't have a picture of it.

I felt like a movie star in this dress! I am a true 12 so the top could have been more snatched, but I absolutely loved wearing it and got endless compliments. I called it my Oscar de la rental.

Quality fabric and construction
The thick fabric and full skirt make this piece feel so luxe. The balloon sleeves and skirt draped beautifully. It was a bit loose in the waist, I usually fluctuate between a 10 and 12 and I feel like I could have Orne the eight for a more fitted look. Overall, really pretty, simple, but still made a statement.

Loose bust
To be fair, I did order a size up because it was the only one available at the time I needed it so take this with a grain of salt. I’m usually a large, sometimes an extra large in pants. The hips fit great, but the waist was loose, and the bust was practically hanging off. I didn’t love how deep the neck line was and the way the not front is constructed doesn’t lend itself well to being pinned together for a bit more coverage. It was so loose on top. I felt like it was gapping and shifting all night. That and the fact that the material wrinkles so easily are definite drawbacks to this otherwise beautiful dress.

Robe-like
This midweight jacket fit like a robe, but in a good way. In the large unbuttoned, the two sides only overlapped a few inches but the belt gave a nice cinch to the waist. I love the interesting silhouette of the sleeves. I will absolutely be wearing this all fall.

Tight in the hips
I think this is more for a straight figure. It was a bit tight in the hips and a bit loose in the waist. Overall, I felt it looked a bit matronly on me. Definitely a pretty material, but just didn’t fit me right

Stunning
This dress would’ve been absolutely perfect in my size. They only had the 14 available when I am usually a 12 and can sometimes get away with a 10. It was gapping at the bust and waist. I tried it with a belt, but the fabric gathered too much. The straps with velvet ribbons also felt a bit flimsy, not as Luxe as they look in the picture.

I was the most excited about this dress because I love the style and print. It did fit, but it was snug in the hips. Still not a problem to sit but I felt it. It was more flattering in person than in pictures but I still loved wearing this dress and got so many compliments

A lot of fabric
I love the idea of this dress more than I loved it on me, at least in pictures. It felt super chic and I love the fit of the bodice but the volume of the fabric and small scale leopard print overwhelmed my frame. I am tall and have a slimmer waist so I can usually pull off volume play and I love leopard but this one wasn’t doing it for me. Still loved it, but wouldn’t rent again.

I loved the shoulder scarf detail and the fitted silhouette. I did pin the slit as I was going to a work event but it still felt sexy and sophisticated. It was snug all over would have been too tight with 5 more lbs even in the XL

Rent this dress
I cannot say enough great things about this dress. Suspiciously flattering, fits perfectly, though I did use a few safety pins to secure the neckline so it wasn’t so low. Glamorous and elegant, this was a showstopper.

Obsessed
Absolutely love these pants! They are so flattering and fit perfectly through the leg. Great length for heels for flats, I switched to heels later in the day. The waist was a bit loose but I think the size down would have been too tight in the thigh. Would have gapped if I wore it with a tight bodysuit so if I rent again I’ll probably size down.
