Spooktacular
I wore this dress as a costume for Halloween. It was the perfect Morticia dress. I sized up to the L ultimately because the opaque layer was pretty short on my frame. The medium fit better but I have long legs - if you’re tall I recommend ordering a size up as an option! I also added black tights to make it darker for the costume but it was super pretty as is. An incredibly comfortable dress that got compliments all night long!

Fun, flirty and a touch of romance
This dress had the perfect combo of fun and romance. I wore it to my sister's wedding which was at a beautiful vineyard in Southern California. It was a chilly November evening and the long sleeves and thicker material definitely kept me warm enough. I ordered the 2 and the 4, I'm usually a 4 but can do either in some looks. The 2 fit better but the slip was way too short. I swapped in the slip for the size 4 and was good to go. If you're tall and/or have long legs, be prepared for that. I loved this dress and would for sure buy it. It was comfy and cute! I was able to eat a big dinner and not be self conscious about my food baby either ;)

Super Chic
I rented this as a backup option for my birthday party and was so torn! I LOVED this dress and want to own it! I typically wear a size 4 and this dress fit like a dream. I'm 5'8" and the dress was about tea length. If you are any shorter this would feel like a much longer dress. The slit did not feel very revealing to me. I loved that you can wear a regular bra with this one and the pleating is so flattering, my waist looked smaller than a minute! Highly recommend for a super chic and cool vibe. Major bonus for the pockets and versatility of the style (you can tuck the back in or leave it out for a more relaxed feel)

Beautiful Birthday Dress!
I rented this dress for a night out with friends to celebrate my birthday. I LOVED this dress and got a ton of complements. The floral pattern is intricately embroidered and the details are amazing in person. At 5'8" and 135 lbs, the small fit me perfectly but was way too short. The medium fit nicely and was a better length. Still, it's a very short dress so be aware of that. It's also a very warm dress as the material is heavy and thick. It was comfortable but worth noting, on a hot day you would be very uncomfortable in this dress. It was so perfect, highly recommend for someone who wants a conversation piece that is super comfortable and flattering.

Perfect LBD
I loved everything about this dress. It's conservative and sexy all at once. I rented it for a date night that sadly never came about due to sick kids. But I loved it so much I want to buy it. It's comfy, cute and totally classic. A must rent for sure!

Teeny Tiny
I LOVED this dress on the app and even more in person. The texture is to die for and the cut is super cute with pockets too! But this dress is next level tiny. I am a straight size 4, sometimes a 2. I put the 6 on and barely got it off...with help. I thought I would either have to live in it or cut it off my body. I immediately regretted pulling it down over my D cup chest as I tried to shimmy out of it. Short story, size up. I could have worn a 10 in this, easily. Also, it's much more ivory colored than white in person.

Dine and dance the night away!
I LOVED the comfort and ease of this dress. My boyfriend loved it too. The simplicity of the design is so classic but the cut and style have that retro 70's vibe that I adore. I wanted a size small, it wasn't available and while the dress still fit I would have preferred it smaller. The cut and style of the dress allows for some wiggle room size wise so a perfect fit isn't exactly necessary. The wedding was on a vineyard and was comfortable in the sun all the way past sundown. Would buy it and keep in my closet! LOVE!

So revealing!
I adore this dress but it is NOT bump friendly particularly if you have a larger chest. I am usually a size 2/4 and tried the 6 in this. It was really tight in the ribs and very short from the bust to the shoulder. If I could have altered it to lose an inch (at least) in the shoulder seam it would have worked. As it was, my chest was falling out and it was uncomfortable to boot. If you're pregnant, best to rent if you are under about 5 months so the waist band can hit lower. The neckline was also too open to try to pin. So disappointed, this was my favorite option!

Best for a very slim woman
I loved the feel of the fabric. It was absolutely a beautiful color as well. However it was recommended as a "bump friendly" option and was far from that. The 4 Fit me up top ( I could have even done a 2) but the waist has zero give and is not good if you're pregnant. I would definitely give this dress a shot post baby though!

Ended up not wearing but SUCH a fun party dress!
I got this dress as an alternative for a wedding I attended at a winery. I tried it on and loved it instantly. The colors are beautiful and the length and shape are SO fun for a wedding. In the end I went with a different dress because this honestly felt a bit too young for me. I would absolutely wear it again and think it's a perfect party dress.

Subtle sex appeal and simple sophistication!
I was super excited for this dress and loved the chic and simple vibe. My sister got married at City Hall so I wanted to be dressy without being over the top. The button to keep the neckline closed was flimsy at best and I had to use a safety pin to keep it from popping open. Also the sleeves are a bit short (or were on me at least) so I pushed them up to make them appear 3/4 length. I got lots of compliments and paired the dress with nude strappy heels, red lipstick and casual wavy hair. It seemed to run small and is not very forgiving so great undergarments are a MUST!
