Nice dress, but not for those with hips
This is a beautiful dress that would have fit perfectly, except for the pockets! They are placed right at the hips and pull open with the slightest bit of tightness across the hips, which then makes the dress look like it doens't fit. Very unfortunate, as I was looking forward to wearing it for Valentines Day.

Great color and pattern
Great dress, very comfortable, but I think it would be hot for summer or any kind of humidity as it's rayon/polyester. However the day I wore it to an outside event it was cloudy and a tiny bit rainy, so it was perfect.

Awesome color and great hemline!
I rented this for a Valentine's Evening Cupid Crawl. (gallery to gallery happy hour) It was nice to stand out in a sea of black (and the occasional red) dress. I thought I would like the pockets, which were comfortable, but hit me at the widest point of my hips. . . .so I wasn't a fan. The handkerchief hem line was nice and the simple neckline make it easy to wear a statement necklace or scarf. (I ended up with a scarf since it was cold outside). I could have worn the medium, but the pocket problem was more apparent with that size, so I wore the large, which allowed better draping, albeit, more shapeless, but a better overall line.

This dress made me feel fantastic and it was very comfortable and easy to wear!
I probably could have worn the Medium, as the fabric is stretchy, but felt more comfortable in the Large. I think my hips are wider than most, so I chose the L to have a bit more wiggle room. The fabric is beautiful and supportive and the entire dress is super comfortable! No special bra is needed, so it's easy to plan your undergarments. The weight of the fabric makes this a good spring or fall dress, and with it being sleeveless you can add a fancy wrap or sweater if needed in the evening. As luck would have it, the AC was out at the venue, so I didn't need and extra warmth! I would totally rent this again!

Great vineyard wedding in Paso Robles CA!
I went out on a limb with this dress, as it was so new, that no one else had done a review on it yet. It was totally worth it! I rented the 10 and the 12-- the 10 looked better, but the 12 felt better on my hips. (I tend to hold weight on my hips) The fabric is way lighter weight than what you would think (but it is fully lined, so no slip needed), and it was the perfect weight for a late afternoon, fall wedding. It has just the right amount of sparkle without being over the top for a day-to-evening event. Since the wedding was outside I wore flat, strappy sandals in a two tone silver and gold, so either metal would work for accessories. I also had a plum pashmina for when it got cooler in the evening. It has pockets, but I thought that they were a little to small for anything other than lip gloss, but they were comfy for warming my hands. I will post a pic if I can find one where I not blurry from dancing!

I rented these to wear with the Rich and Famous dress, but thought they were too much bling!
Instead, I wore them the next night, with jeans and a fancy black t-shirt, and they dressed me up perfectly. After a couple of hours, they started to feel heavy, but not uncomfortable. I would rent them again, but not with a sequined dress!

Everyone commented on this dress!
The fade from purple to black is very flattering. I liked that I could wear this dress with a regular bra. I didn't wear Spanx, but did have control top pantyhose on. It was very comfortable and after a drink I forgot about the sequins rubbing under my upper arms. :-)

Stood out in a bunch of little black dresses!
This was my second rental and I decided to be a little daring with color as we were attending a fundraising event for the local children's museum. I am so glad I did, as there were tons of LBD everywhere! Numerous strangers stopped me to ask where I bought my dress and even a waiter leaned in to tell me how nice I looked in the dress and in the color! The sleeves were just right for a winter event on a cold night, the dress had just the right amount of give and support. I ordered the 10 and the 12, and wore the 10 as it hugged my curves in just the right way. I tried it with a champagne colored bra, but ended up wearing a strapless. I didn't feel the need to wear spanx, just control top pantyhose, which upped the comfort level. Luckily, no one I knew was at this event, so I'm going to keep it on my list to rent again.

This was my first rental, and I was a little scared, as was my mother-out-law
But the dress and back up arrived and we were both super impressed! Both sizes "fit", but the 8 was a winner. The color is more plum than what it looks like on the model. It was comfortable all night, and it was easy to walk in, sit in, and eat in, as we were attending a march of dimes celebrity chef event.
