Gorgeous & Colorful!
I rented this stunner for an engagement photo shoot and I'm so glad that I did. The warm color palette is like a gorgeous sunset, and the silhouette is flattering but still comfortable. I'm 5'9" and the length was just right with flats (didn't drag on the ground) but shorter people may want to consider wearing heels with this one. The neckline is VERY low, but the empire waist means that you can get away without wearing a bra since it will hold you in place. I only wore this for photos and probably would have gone with some boob tape if I had been out and about since my bust is on the fuller side. Overall it was super fun to wear and swish around in, and the perfect statement dress for a photo shoot, a wedding, or a party!

Runs SO SMALL
I was so ready to love this dress, and although the fabric was beautiful in person, the sizing was super crazy. I normally wear a size 6 or medium and I rented the large based on reviews that said it was running small, and the large size fit SO TIGHTLY around the top band. Even an XL probably would have been too uncomfortably snug, and my frame is pretty small on top. I don't think I'd ever rent anything from this particular brand again because the sizing was so completely off.

Flattering & comfortable!
I'm in love with this pretty Ulla dress! The a-line silhouette and deep v (but still bra-friendly) neckline make it super flattering, and the light-as-air silk fabric makes it incredibly comfy as well. I paired it with a denim chore jacket and heels with socks for a day of wine tasting, and then layered it over a thin turtleneck top for work.

Gorgeous & Vibrant!
I'm in LOVE with this dreamy dress! I rented it for a day of wine tasting with my boyfriend and I received compliments all day long because the bright orange hue just makes people happy. The fabric is lightweight and breathable and the neckline is super flattering, although the sleeves tend to slip down sometimes (I just went with it and kept it off the shoulder for part of the day). The elastic waist is comfy and the midi length was perfect on my 5'9" frame. This dress is great for gals with curves (I have wide hips and wear a D cup) and is effortlessly chic. I would definitely rent it again and again!

Unique & Flirty
I've been a longtime fan of the brand Self Portrait and I was super excited to wear this fun dress! It fits my hourglass shape like a dream and gives me the perfect amount of cleavage that makes it flirty but still tasteful. The top is fitted and the skirt is a-line and the perfect short length without being TOO mini (I'm 5'9"). My favorite part is the puffed sleeves, so adorable! I would definitely rent this dress again.

Dream Dress!
I'm OBSESSED with this dress. From the bright yellow hue to the amazing ruffles and "cold shoulder" ties, this dress checks all of my boxes. I rented it for a trip to New Orleans and I received so many compliments all day long. It runs on the large side because it's essentially a very loose shift silhouette so I went down one size. I wouldn't recommend this style to petite ladies or anyone wanting to show off their figure because it's meant to be loose, that's the style! I'm 5'9" and the midi (almost maxi) length was perfect with flat sandals. The cotton fabric is super soft and light, and I love all the pretty details. Sadly the particular dress I rented had a small burn mark on the side from someone's botched ironing job, but it wasn't so noticeable and other than that it was super unique and special and perfect for my vacation!

Beautiful Vacation Dress
I rented this gorgeous dress for a trip to New Orleans and I received so many compliments while wearing it! It's the PERFECT shade of pink and the cotton fabric is super lightweight and soft. I love the flattering fit-and-flare style, and the midi length worked perfectly for my height (I'm 5'9"). I wore this all day long on a very hot day and it was comfortable and lovely. My only complaint is that the straps are a little bit on the long side so I had to keep readjusting them throughout the day, although they looked pretty cute worn off the shoulder too (since the bodice stays up just fine on its own). It was pretty true to size, although I possibly could have fit into a size Small (I usually wear a 6). I would definitely rent this dress again, and would consider purchasing as well!

Sweet & Feminine
I rented this adorable dress for a trip to New Orleans and it was the perfect feminine frock for wearing day to night! The cotton fabric doesn't exactly pack well but it's nice and light for warm weather. The elastic waist is super comfy and I absolutely loved the one shoulder design. The bust definitely fits on the snug side, so keep in mind if you have a larger bust. I'm a 34D and I wore the Medium and it fit perfectly on top but there was no give. I wouldn't recommend this style to ladies with busts larger than a D cup, unless you perhaps went up one size! Overall I loved wearing this fun dress and I would definitely rent it again.

Flirty & Autumnal
This dress is definitely more sultry in person! The thigh slit is quite high, especially on my long legs (I'm 5'9") and it's quite sheer. There is an attached slip, but it's suuuper low-cut on the top (showing lots of side boob!) so it's hard to wear even a nude strapless bra without it showing through the sheer floral fabric. Instead I wore a pretty pale pink lace racer-back bra because it looked better peeking through. It's probably best for ladies with small chests who can go braless! The fit is true to size and it's meant to be a bit loose and flowy. I paired it with mules and a suede clutch and wore it to dinner with my boyfriend. The fabric is gorgeous quality and the warm floral print is my favorite part!

Gorgeous & Flattering!
A gorgeous and flattering dress, perfect for work or date night. It says in the description that it's a wrap silhouette, but this isn't entirely accurate. Instead there are two long ties that can be tied at or around the waist to cinch it in as much you'd like, creating a super flattering a-line silhouette. The silk fabric is even more beautiful in person and I love that the elastic cuffs on the sleeves mean that they can be pushed up. The length was below the knee and I'm 5'9". The v-neck is just low enough while still being appropriate for work. I will definitely rent this gem again!

Dreamiest!
I'm absolutely obsessed with this bag! I've been a longtime fan of Loeffler Randall, and her designs this season are my favorite yet. This bag is even more amazing in person because the leather is amazing quality and it's the perfect shade of pink. It's big enough to hold my wallet, sunglasses, phone, comb, and lipstick, and there's a cute drawstring top that you can cinch if you want to keep everything hidden. I got so many compliments everywhere I went when carrying this bag because it's so quirky and fun. It's pricey but I may just need to buy it anyways!

Super chic!
I had to rent this style in a size smaller than I usually wear, but it still fit me because the silhouette is meant to be relaxed. If you're between sizes I would suggest sizing down! The fabric is even more beautiful in person and has the prettiest texture and I'm OBSESSED with the pale blush hue. The long tie around the neck is fun because there is enough length to really play around and tie it many ways. The dress is sheer and comes with a separate slip but it fit a bit tightly on my hips, so instead I wore it without and layered it over cropped trousers. My only complaint about this style is that the empire waist (which is elastic) sits really highly and accentuated my size 34D chest in a way that I didn't love, but other than that it's a winner!

The cutest!
I rented this adorable bag for a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was the perfecting finishing touch for my look! I love the silver glitter, and the funny eyeballs give it a quirky twist. It was the perfect size for holding my iPhone, lip balm, ID, and comb, and I probably could have fit a few other small things in there. It's worth noting that the glitter is a bit rough to the touch, so I wouldn't recommend pairing this clutch with an outfit that might snag easily!

Gorgeous & Modern
I absolutely love this dress! I rented it for a wedding rehearsal dinner and I was so excited to wear it. I love that it's super feminine but still modern. The fabric is even lovelier in person, and the ruffled detail down the front is great for hiding flaws. It showed just the right amount of cleavage for someone with a larger bust (I'm a 34D) and I loved the length for my tall height (I'm 5'9"). It fit my hourglass figure snugly and I found myself adjusting the dress a lot, but it was worth it. My only complaint is that the black strap isn't adjustable and it was a tiiiny bit long. Overall a stunning dress of amazing quality!

Dramatic & fun!
This fun top is for adventurous ladies only! It's definitely not "flattering" but that's not the point with this style, it's supposed to be a bit oversized and voluminous. I wore it without the tie around the neck and it stayed up alright with some minor adjusting throughout the day. I paired it with cropped culottes and heels, and I loved the longer length (I'm 5'9"). It would look so cute with skinny jeans if that's your thing! The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the stiff cotton fabric, which was hard to keep wrinkle-free and was slightly fussy. That said, I still loved wearing this style and I found it be very modern and chic! If you're between sizes or have a smaller bust I would probably go with one size smaller since the shape is loose.

The comfiest caftan!
I've rented this same style in another fabric and I LOVED it, so I couldn't resist renting this gorgeous silk version! It's so comfortable and lightweight, perfect for hot summer days. This style is meant to be loose and oversized, not for those who are hoping to show off their figures. It runs large so I ordered one size down and it was perfectly flowy. The midi length and loose fit make it a better choice for taller ladies (I'm 5'9"). It's sheer so I layered a short black slip underneath. I will definitely rent again!

Sweet summer dress!
I'm completely in love with this dress and I've already worn it at least six times! It's made of the perfect lightweight fabric that's perfect for hot summer days and the floral print is the dreamiest mix of colors: burnt orange, lavender, blush pink, tan, and cream on a navy background. It runs true to size but the style of the dress is definitely loose and tent shaped, which I love. It's quite sheer so I paired it with a pale pink slip, which also came in handy to cover the back of my bra because the keyhole in the back of the dress is low-cut. This dress is probably best for taller gals because of the midi length (I'm 5'9") and it's perfect for casual summer parties. I received so many compliments every time I wore it and I may just have to purchase it!

Romantic dream dress!
I'm obsessed with this dress! It's not for those who don't like a lot of volume or want to show off their figures because this dress is essentially tent-shaped. But it's AMAZING and the fabric is super soft and light! Plus the elastic neckline is incredibly comfortable, the length is perfect for taller gals (I'm 5'9") and the floral print is moody and romantic. It definitely runs large! I went down one size and I could have probably fit into one size smaller than that. I think the loose silhouette is super chic and perfect for those who like a bit of drama. The best part is that it can easily be dressed up for a party or dressed down for a laid-back summer day. I've already worn it a few times and I'm not ready to send it back!

Perfect for a special occasion!
I absolutely LOVE this dress! I rented it for a wedding in my usual size (Medium) and it ran just a little bit large in the waist so I paired it with a pretty vintage belt. The super lightweight silk chiffon fabric is the best part of this dress because it moves beautifully and it's so comfortable to wear. I loved the self-tie straps because I could adjust it perfectly for my height, and the colorful print was unique and beautiful. I'm 5'9" and I still had to wear a short block heel so that the dress wouldn't drag on the floor, so I wouldn't recommend it to ladies shorter than 5'7" unless you plan on wearing very tall heels. I received many compliments and I would definitely consider renting this beauty again!

Super flattering!
I love this fun and flirty dress! The length was the perfect amount of short for my 5'9" height and I loved how it showed off my waist in such a flattering way without being too constrictive or tight. Also the fabric doesn't wrinkle much and holds its shape, so I didn't have to worry about it looking sad after a lot of sitting in the car. I will definitely be renting this again, and may even purchase it because the price is so affordable!

Super flattering & romantic!
This dress is super dreamy and feminine! It runs true to size and is incredibly flattering, especially if you have an hourglass figure and want to show off your waist. The fabric is slightly sheer so I would recommend nude undergarments. If you have a small bust it would be easy to wear this braless, but I opted for a low-cut nude seamless bra (I'm a 34D) and it was just barely concealed because of how low-cut this dress is. Definitely shows some cleavage! I found it to be very comfortable and it was the perfect romantic style for a day of wine tasting. I would absolutely rent this dress again, and may even purchase it!

An effortlessly stylish dress!
I adore this dress! The silhouette is perfect: short (but not TOO short for my 5'9" frame) with just the right amount of volume. I rented this for my Maui vacation and it was the perfect thing to run around in all day long. It does run a bit large, so I went down one size and it fit perfectly. Those looking for something to show off their body shouldn't bother with this loose style, but it's perfect for gals who want an effortlessly adorable daytime look.

Dream vacation dress!
I'm obsessed with this dress. It's definitely an oversized caftan style, so those looking for something to show off their bod should look elsewhere. But if you want a comfortable, chic, playful vacation look with a nod to cool late 1970's fashion then look no further! The fabric is even lovelier in person and the ruffled details are too cute. This style runs large so I went down one size and the fit was great! I'll definitely be renting this again.

Uncomfortable fit
I was so excited to wear this dress and it's really gorgeous in person but sadly too uncomfortable to wear. It fit perfectly everywhere but the armpits were cut way too high and dug into my armpits. I'm 5'9" with a longer torso so this might not be an issue for a shorter woman, but it made it unwearable for me.

Rainbow Dream!
I LOVE this kooky dress! I normally go back and forth between a size 4 and 6, and the size 4 fit me just fine. My only complaint is that the elastic around the top fit a little bit snugly, which could cause a bit of "spillage" if you're curvier. Otherwise it was very comfortable! I'm 5'9" and the length was perfect for pairing with flats without dragging on the floor. I wouldn't recommend this dress to ladies under 5'6" unless you plan on wearing heels! I received so many compliments all day long in this dress.

I'm obsessed with this dress. It's light and airy and perfect for my height (I'm 5'9"). I paired it with a long sleeved blouse underneath, which it helped because it has a large keyhole in the back that would show a bra. This dress is quite sheer so I also wore a half slip underneath. I love how unique it is and I would definitely rent it again!

So adorable!
I absolutely love this dress! I normally go back and forth between a size 4 and a size 6, and I went with the 6 here but could have easily sized down too. It's super comfortable and the drawstring waist makes it easy to adjust perfectly to your size. The silk fabric is light and airy, but also lined so that you don't need a slip underneath (just nude underwear). I'm 5'9" and this was definitely a mini length on me... anyone taller might have a hard time with this length! I will definitely be renting this lovely number again and again.
