So Comfortable!
This dress is so comfy and effortless! I own this dress in size Small for my pre-pregnancy size (US 6, 150lb, 5ft 7in), but I needed to rent a larger size for a vacation while pregnant. Size Large was perfect for me at 20 weeks pregnant.

Easy to Dance In!
I typically wear a size 4 in a dress like this, and the M fit perfectly. Perfect for a pear shape like me. As soon as I tried the dress on, I loved it so much that I reserved it for another event later this year. Even though it's a strapless, it stayed up all night without having to readjust, even with wild dancing.

Love the dress, but tricky length for 5'7"
I LOVE this dress and have rented it many times in other colors. At 5'7", I usually rent the Regular length, which is just a little too short with 1.5" kitten heels. This time I went for the Long, but even with 5" platforms, I was tripping on the Long fabric! But it was stunning to be so tall in this flowing column dress, so it's probably worth it to try to find 5.5" or 6" heels for next time.

Felt So Regal!
I loved this dress! I'm 5'7" and am very glad I got the 6-Regular length instead of the recommended Long. I wore 2 inch heels and the dress just slightly swept the ground. It is very low-cut, but I managed to wear a bra with it by loosening the bra straps a little and pinning it to the dress so it wouldn't ride up. The dress is true to size; I'm almost always a size 6, and the 6R fit perfectly. I wore it with the Kenneth Jay LaneGold Shadow Bib Necklace and felt so regal!

Bling bling!
These were larger than I expected, but they were a lot of fun. I couldn't believe how comfortable they were in spite of how large and heavy they were. They didn't slide off, but they also didn't pinch my ears too much, so I was able to wear them all night - which is unusual for me and clip-on earrings.

Will rent again
I loved this dress for an outdoor wedding. It has pockets! I felt glamorous with how the fabric flowed, but the print kept it casual enough for the outdoors. I'm 5'7" and got the regular length because I didn't want it to drag in the dirt. I could have worn flats easily, but I wore 2" wedges and it felt a little short but was better than dragging in the dirt.

Glamorous!
I rented this to go with the Badgley Mischka Ruby Red Gala Gown, just like everyone else because it's such a good pairing. I was at a very formal wedding, and I feel like the necklace really stepped it up a notch. I wish I got a clear picture to share.

Absolutely love this dress
I love that I can wear a normal bra with this dress (with a racerback converter). It's made very well and flows beautifully. I only regret not getting the long. I'm 5'7" and ordered the regular length because I never wear heels higher than 2 inches, but this regular length is short enough not to touch the floor without any shoes on, so it was a little too short even for my 2 inch heels. I rented it with the Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Shadow Bib Necklace, just like everyone else, because it goes so well with the dress.

Perfect match with BCBGMAXAZRIA Yulia Maxi Dress
I rented this purse to bring out the blue stripe in the BCBGMAXAZRIA Yulia Maxi Dress, and it was a perfect match. It fit all my essentials without cramming them and making it too bulky.

Beautiful, unique, and comfortable
This is my favorite dress I've ever worn in my life, and it was perfect for the spring wedding I attended. I wore a regular bra with a cross-back/racer-back converter for the straps with no problems. Size 6 wasn't available, so I got the 4R and 8R. Thank goodness, because I wouldn't normally have gotten the 4, but it fit very well and the size 8 looked horrible on me in comparison to the 4. I think it's the pattern that makes it look frumpy if it's not form fitting enough. I have a 28" waist and could breathe and move easily in the 4R. I'm 5'7" and got the Regular length for low heels (1.5") - it didn't sweep the floor, and I easily could have worn flats and still not be tripping over it, but it was long enough not to look too awkward. If you're 5'7" and planning to wear anything taller than 1.5" heels, get the Long.

Used it all weekend!
I rented this to go with the Nha Khanh Tori Sandra Dress for a wedding, but I ended up using it with every outfit the entire weekend! It was perfect to help dress up some jeans for a night out, and it wasn't too glittery to bring to Mass for the wedding ceremony itself.

Fun to dance in
I'm an extreme pear shape and typically wear a size 6. The 6 fit perfect but I chose to wear the 8 because I knew I'd be dancing and I was worried about period bloat, but I regret my choice and should have worn the 6. The dress was very comfortable and fun to dance in. I wore a padded foam stick-on NuBra, but I might have been able to get away with a strapless. My only complaint was that the straps were about 2 inches too long. I found this strange because I have a long torso and typically have the opposite problem. I wish I had taken a picture of this issue to show the weird, gaping back before I pinned it. I wore it with nude heels and rented the Whiting & Davis Pearl Slim Frame Clutch. The clutch was a cream color that didn't quite match the dress, but this wasn't too noticeable.
