A unique, comfortable formal gown -- who knew!
I rented this dress (after months of looking, one order cancelled and 2 other dresses returned) for a black tie wedding in New York. I was a little concerned with how casual it looked since it was black tie, but it actually look really elegant and fun. It was so comfortable, didnt need to wear a bra, was fully covered, but had decent clevage. I loved the slits on both sides of the dress which added to the drama of the dress, especially when dancing. I loved this dress!

A true show stopper
After reading reviews about the fit of the top, I was really nervous that I didnt order the right size since I have big boobs. However, the 4 fit pretty well with some adjusting from the bottom. The top was snug and stayed in place, the boning was helpful but I didnt find that it dug into me at all. The length was perfect with 5" heels and the color really popped! I didnt find the fabric to be too thick as some reviews had mentioned, which was appreciated. I loved wearing this dress and the pockets were especially helpful. Overall, this dress was a huge hit.

A fun and sweet dress for a formal occasion
I was a bit disappointed they didnt have a size 2 in either a regular or long because the 4 was just a bit big. Really, I wish I had the dress in long because I wore 5 inch heels and you could see my shoes when I walked. All in all, I really loved the dress. I was a bit worried that I would be really hot in the long sleeves and thick material, but it wasnt bad, even on a 90 degree day! The sleeve length was great for bracelets and I liked the small dip in the back of dress down the back. I received so many compliments, I really love this dress and I was excited it was finally available for an event.

Subtle Glam Dress
I rented this dress for a Clinton Foundation event where the dress code was "smart-casual." It was a little bit more dressy than the other attendees because of the sparkly polka dots, but they werent overwhelming. I received alot of compliments on the fit of the dress and the subtle sparkle. Its a great length for a more conservative event. The sleeves hit at a some what odd length and they arent very fitted. Its a bit tight in the shoulder area. Overall, I really loved the dress - fun, subtle, comfy, great for outdoors.

Form fitting amazingness
Wore this in Vegas and loved the dress. I had read the reviews that it ran small, so I ordered both a small and a large and took a chance on the small working well. Definitely tight and form fitting which was great. It does amazing things for your curves. Neck was definitely tight -- it is really odd there was no zipper so do your hair and makeup first. Didnt have any issues with the arm holes or the dress riding up. I got alot of compliments and a big plus if you add a pop of color in your accessories!

Fun & Bright
A surprisingly sexy little dress. Loved the bright orange color and mesh inserts. Not crazy about the rooching on the back of the dress. A little lower cut than I thought, but it had a great back and it was cute.

The fabric is disappointingly cheap looking. This is definitely not a lush item.

I was at a fundraiser in Washington DC and everyone said I was "Michelle Obama approved" in this Kate Spade dress!
A really cute, simple and classic dress. The fabric defnitely looks nicer in pictures than in person, so that was the only draw back. Other than that, I loved the dress. Bow belt was a nice touch.

Great Sparkle
I wore these for a wedding and I got so many compliments on the sparkle of the earrings. Noticeable without being over the top.

he perfect formal, fun, flirty, neon trending dress there is!
What is not to love about this dress? Its unique color and draping makes it an obvious choice for renting. It will turn heads and you'll get so many compliments. The only odd part of the dress was the sleeve, it didn't really sit right, so I tucked it in. The belt was too, probably because I have a short torso and was intended to sit lower on the waist. If you have big boobs, you definitely want a size up, trying to squeeze boobs into this dress isnt fun! But I still loved every minute of this dress!!

The pictures do not do this dress justice. So adorable, classy and the perfect dress for any occasion. I thought this dress ran a little big, inordered a zero and it was a bit big in the chest. All in all loved this dress!

Heads will turn in this one!!
Rented this dress for a night out in Vegas and its a true attention getter. Low cut top and cut out in the back makes this dress a little daring without looking too over board. True to size and hugs you in all the right places!

This is such a great dress! When in Vegas and surrounded by all the lights, heads will be turning as this catches the lights and attention all night long!
Rented this dress for a night out in Vegas and it was a huge hit! This dress is really fun, a definite attention getter! Runs a bit small, I usually wear a 2, but got a 4 to make sure it fit in the bust, which was still a bit on the tight side. The top is a little scratchy, and a little uncomfortable to sit in due to the folder over of sequins at the top and bottom.
