Fun, comfortable dress.
This dress is very flattering. I do wish I had used wardrobe tape to hold up the shoulder straps. As seen in the second photo, they slip down, decreasing the cuteness of the neck/shoulder detail. Great rental which garnered many compliments.

Great print and colors.
This shirt runs big, but it looks adorable if secured in place. I used two strips of wardrobe tape to secure the front in place and make sure it would not shift forward and cause a wardrobe malfunction. I wore it to a music festival for 13 hours and got many compliments. Size down.

I love these sleeves!
Unexpectedly comfortable to wear. Fabric has some heft to it, which makes it very body smoothing. The cut on the sleeves is perfection. Both my husband's and my favorite rental to date.

Perfect sparkle for a holiday party.
This dress was really fun to wear. It had a bit of stretch, so it was comfortable, and the deep back added a touch of edge to it.

Cute hem, great having pockets.
If you have larger chest or back, be aware this bodice has no stretch. Size up and enjoy this really fun, flirty dress.
Back Down Dress

Pretty print, very comfortable and cute.
It is very loose and flowy. I tried on the small, but the shoulders and arm bands were too tight. The medium did not have these problems but was generous around the middle. I came to appreciate the swing and comfort of the loose fit as I wore it for a very long day celebrating a friend's birthday in San Francisco. Wore with white jeans to meet a friend for a drink and with skinny jeans for an all-day into the night outing.

Beautiful details, a bit short for me.
I didn't know how comfortable I would feel in this dress with all the sheer parts. However, it was the length of the dress which was a bit risque. I wore it and got many compliments, but I think it would look more elegant on someone shorter than I.

Cute and fun.
I was worried that the whole romper thing was not appropriate for a gal in her 50s, but this one was cute and not too young looking.

Gave me the confidence I needed.
I was looking for something to wear for my first time performing with a band: comfortable, cool, classy with an edge. This dress did not actually catch my eye at first, but the customer reviews were great. Experience has taught me they are more reliable than anything else. True to size, maybe a touch large, but comfortably so. I ordered the 8 and 10 and didn't bother to try on the 10 at all. If I'd had a 6, I may have tried it on, but the 8 was just right. I had some hip room for moving and sitting. I was nervous about so much that night but not how I looked in this dress.

Too big, would have been fun otherwise.
Very cute dress, but I could not wear it because it is HUGE. Called to try to get a small sent, but one was not available. I am 5' 7", an 8 or 10 in RTR dresses, sometimes a medium or a large. The medium was a good 4 inches too big around the middle to be flattering. Might try again in a smaller size.

Cute style, too big.
Very soft and flowy. I would have been happier with a small. The medium looked a little sloppy on me.

Metallic Desert Top

Just the right color and sparkle.
Cute top. Fun with skinny black jeans. The sequins do get turned, so my hubby was on hand to "pet" them back the way they belonged.

I felt comfortable and cute all night.
Flowy top with lovely back lace detail. I wore it with charcoal leggings, which made the bottom lace mostly disappear. It would be much more of a stand out piece with contrasting bottoms.

Flattering, sparkly dress. It was somewhat slimming--always a plus.
The dress took a little work: The zipper was sticky (solved by rubbing it with wax paper), and I had to use fashion tape to keep the lining from showing. Without these two flaws, I would have given it five stars.

I had to catch a flight early the next day--so easy to drop dress in UPS box on way to airport.
This dress has very pretty details. The neckline, color, and lace sleeves are lovely. I found it ran quite small, likely because I have broad shoulders. I expected to wear the 8 but wore the 10 instead.
