Very versatile, lots of compliments
I rented this dress after Googling options for how to tie it. I opted for a full coverage look because I was trying to hide some recent weight gain and it was cold! I received lots of compliments from people I didn't know and I liked the material. I was a little hesitant to dance too crazy at the wedding because the dress would come loose or shift around to show different areas. I just didn't lift my arms...no YMCA for this girl :)

Coral cape delight
This dress was great for hiding some recently put on weight, but it ran a little big. I don't think I would have been comfortable in a small in other areas, but the back strap to hide your bra kept sagging and showing it anyway. The back of the bottom where the zipper is would also sag down and show the top of my spanx. I decided it was worth keeping the spanx on anyway :) It was a fun color for a September wedding and was perfect for the temperature.

First experience with romper
I've never worn a romper before but when I signed up for unlimited I told myself I had to try one. I'm in love! This was the most comfortable outfit and was like wearing pajamas to work and parties! I wanted to wear it everyday! The dress I rented had a hem out on one leg but I wore it anyway. I would recommend this romper to anyone wanting to try one out! It is meant to be a little baggy, which I appreciated in my legs. It even has pockets!

Hard to ship back!
I loved this dress so much I held onto it for several weeks and didn't want to ship it back! The style was so flattering for an hourglass figure and you could wear a normal bra, which is always a plus. I wore this to work and got lots of compliments from my coworkers as well as people at other businesses in my building that don't know me. The fabric is stretchy and the cut is awesome.

Flattering with fun pattern
I love this dress! I held onto it for several weeks because I wanted to keep wearing it! Such a fun pattern and the structure of the dress is very flattering. The dress I rented had a hem out, but I still wore it. Because of the way the strap cut in you need to wear a strapless bra.

Heavy but slimming
This dress is very slimming and forgiving with the fabric and design. It does feel heavy when you wear it though. It fits true to size and I would recommend wearing for an event.

Size down
I love this dress! I sized down based on recommendations and it fit great. I wore it to work and received a lot of compliments. It did wrinkle a bit in the front like other reviews mentioned but it did not bother me. The interior slip was a little tight , but it was not visible as much as it was a bit uncomfortable.

Slip is tiny, dress runs big
In reading reviews I knew this dress ran large, so I sized down. The dress itself for great and I absolutely love it. I received many compliments from my coworkers and would absolutely wear again; however the slip it came with was tiny. You have to wear the slip with this dress due to the detail on the front. The slip was so small it would go below the front of my bra and was so short I was nervous about giving a peak at my crotch. I was still able to wear it to work by safety pinning the top to my bra in the front and back (took 6 pins total) and constantly using the pockets to keep the bottom of it in an acceptable place. I would still recommend renting but you will want to have pins on hand or your own navy blue slip. If you go the pin route, wear it at a time will you will be sitting a lot and not running around.

Fun dress but not great for busty girls
I love the detail on this dress and the style is great for an hourglass figure. I have a large chest and it flattened them with the elastic top. It wasn't uncomfortable but it looked a little odd. I still wore it!

Pretty color and cute
I love this color and style! The dress is great for an hourglass figure and is flowy so it is great for the summer.

Obsessed with this dress
Love this dress! The fabric is thick and hides a little stomach pooch really well. The bright color is awesome and I received so many compliments at the conference I was at. I will rent again!

Perfect for work!
I wanted this dress to wear to a professional trade show I would be representing clients at. It worked perfect! The exhibit floor was a little chilly so I paired it with a bright pink suit jacket and it was just the pop of color I needed. I took people's reviews about the dress running large into consideration and ordered a size 2 when I would typically order a 4. The 2 was perfect. I have unlimited and kept this dress for 3 weeks so I could continue to wear in a couple other professional settings.

Little warm but love the fit! Great for hourglass
The material is thick so on a VERY hot Nebraska summer day I was sweating, but for my chilly office it was perfect. I was hot when I went outside, but for a daily work dress it worked great. I love the fit and having pockets is a major bonus. I would recommend this to anyone with an hourglass figure!

Have now rented in every color! This is my go-to style.
I have now rented this dress in every color available long and short! This is definitely my go-to style and it's because it is guaranteed to look and fit great! It is forgiving in the tummy and I love that! It is super comfortable and was perfect for my 30th birthday. I'm sure I will rent again! When I rent this dress I actually wear a size smaller than I typically wear.

Fit great and has pockets too!
How can you beat a beautiful dress with cut-outs AND pockets??? I rented this dress for a wedding and it's the first dress I have ever worn with cut-outs. I was a little nervous about showing skin around my stomach, but the location of these cut-outs is very forgiving. I loved that you could wear a normal bra and even better this dress has bra strap stays built in!

Fit great and received compliments galore!
This dress is awesome! It fit great, was very easy to wear and I was happy with how it looked. I typically wear a 4 and it felt a little big so I wore the 2 instead. I had to safety pin the front so it was more appropriate for a family wedding, which also made it more comfortable for me to jump around while dancing. I was really worried about the length because I am 5'5" but the length was fine once I put on tall heels.

Very beautiful, but a little heavy when dancing and wearing for a long time.
I wore these earrings with a dress I rented through the website. There were the recommended earrings and I thought they were beautiful and matched well so I went with them! When they arrived I was surprised to see they were not one large piece like the photo makes them look. The middle jewel dangles within the outside of the earring. This was not a negative, just not quite how I thought they would be. One of the prongs was a little bent, which it why I rated a 4 out of 5. The earrings did not feel heavy until I wore them for a few hours then started dancing so they bounced around. I wore them a total of 8 hours and they were the first thing I took off (before my heels!) when I got to my room. I would still recommend them and certainly order them again if I rented the same dress.

Dress sparkles and is sure to make you stand out!
I wore this dress for our office holiday party, which had a casino theme. It was perfect and was also my first time ever renting a dress. I look forward to future opportunities to rent! I received a large number of compliments from people, including people that didn't even know me just as I was walking around the hotel. I was a little nervous about the hanging of the dress around my hips, but it was actually very flattering and took great photos. I rented the recommended earrings with the dress as well and wore black shoes because I was concerned nude blended in too much with the dress color and my skin. I had to safety pin the V-neck because it arrived to me with the thread either cut or previously broken - that is the only reason I rated a 4 instead of a 5. I had ordered a 4 and a size 2 for my backup based on reviews that it ran a little bigger. The 2 fit perfectly, but my husband and I felt the 4 actually draped better which made it photograph better too. Therefore, I would say the dress runs true to size because it is intended to have drapery around the hips.
