Pretty print, confusing ties
I have no idea how you get the ties on this dress to match the way the model has them. I sized up because that was my only option available. Dress still looked great. Very light material. Wore out for a date night but could we worn to a wedding or dressier event as well.

Way too short for me to wear out of the house. Dress is very cute, but showed way too much leg for me to wear out in public.

So cute and comfy
The print is gorgeous. I’m a tall girl and the length was perfect. Doesn’t ride up in the crotch, very flattering. Material is almost like a linen but not wrinkly.

Girls night mini dress
Cute print. Semi neon beach goth vibes with the dark and floral neon color pops. A little disappointed in the overall fit, I typically love the fit of Tanya Taylor dresses. This one misses the mark. Top is ill-fitting and has strange boning. On the smaller side, glad I ordered an 8 instead of a 6. Not bad enough to not wear but something to make note of.

THE PRINT!
So I almost didn’t rent this dress because of the reviews. But I’m soooo glad I did. It’s darling, the print is super bright and fun. It looks like you’re wearing pop art. Yes, the material is similar to a wind breaker and is a little swishy sounding, but who cares! It keeps the wrinkles out and helps you make an entrance.

Cute design, Need narrow hips
Runs small. This may not be the most flattering cut if you have hips (at all). I ended up not wearing it because it was tight on my hips and bottom.

WEIRD DARTS
This dress is so cute, it makes me think of something Barbie would wear to a picnic! However, I did not wear it because the darting in the bust has a very strange fit. It also gapped at the waist on the sides. The adorable dress just did not look good on me.

Sized up too much!
I'm a 34 D based on other reviews I was worried about this being too "booby" so I went up 2 sizes. It was a mistake. I normally wear a 6 based on reviews I ordered in a 10. While it looks OK you can tell it needs a slightly more form fit, an 8 would have been perfect.

Colorful but the jury is out on wearing
Pro: Colors are gorgeous and vibrant. Super fun summer/spring top. Cons: impossible to wear with a bra and darting is weird on the bust. Not sure if I'll wear in public. I'm a D, it may look better on someone with a smaller chest. Not my favorite.

Wide open chest
Couldn't wear, top is so low I would have had to pin it closed, if it was a dress that would have been fine, however pinning yourself in a romper sounds like a bathroom nightmare. V went past my the end of my sternum. Maybe a cute swim coverup?

Went 2 sizes up
After reading reviews about this running super small I went two sizes up from my normal size. This type of dress you don't want to be super form fitting. Overall even with the sizing up I was not impressed. While it "fit" the overall look was bad and it was kind of itchy. I ended up layering with a tee. I probably could have gone a size down, but I don't think that would have helped. Just not a flattering look. A lot of the stitching puckered (even though it wasn't fitted). Strange dress.

Cute in theory!
I love wild prints and had this blazer on my favorites for a while. Was SO sad that this made me look like an elementary art school teacher (AND not in a cute way.) I also felt like I probably would have been happier if I went up a size. When I buttoned it, it just looked unflattering.

This is bada$$!!! But size up
Not my typical rental and I'm so Happy stepped out of my comfort zone. Maybe my favorite rental of the last 12 months. Jumper gives off super cool vibes. Maybe I'm a Jedi, maybe I'm the long lost member of Devo. Honestly almost kept it. I was scared it would be see through, it wasn't! Just plan for light colored unders. I'm normally a 6, I sized up and it fit perfect.

Color is beautiful but oh my gosh this is a low one. I had rented for work and opted to wear something else. I didn't personally like it layered with a cami. More of a date night/night out top.

Loved the print bad fit, but couldn't not find good undergarments to wear
Material is a light knit. The length is great love the slits, they're not too high. Print is so fun and unique... HOWEVER, I didn't leave the house dress was very sheer. After changing undergarments 4-5 times I gave up. If you rent you'll want to wear with a fitted slip.

Fun print for summer to fall
Was worried this was going to be too summer-y for October, it's not! I'm also in Texas so it's still warm. I like that you can wear a bra with it, the bow covers everything well. Heads up the zipper is challenging! If you're between sizes go up one, the material has no give.

Beautiful colors fun cut
Was a little concerned about how this would look given the other reviews. I'm so glad I rented bc this dress delivered! Colors are beautiful, cut is flattering (I'm a bit hippy and drop waist is very hit or miss on me figure). I normally wear a medium or a 6. Glad I sized down to a small. I would be swimming in a medium. Material has no give, so if you're top heavy in the bust something to consider.

Fun draping but runs big
If your in-between sizes go down one. It wasn't a bad dress, but it wasn't the best either. The material is nice. Even though it sinches at the waist it made me feel WIDE when looking at myself front on. It was slimming when I looked from the side. Even tried to pair with a belt and wasn't a fan.

Flattering!
Wow wow wow! The cut of this shirt is a knock out - ultra-flattering. Slims the waist, accentuates the bust, hides the tummy if you're feeling bloated. Plan to wear a strapless bra. I took one star off because I felt like it gapped a little in the upper chest/arm area. Wore with a blazer for work but this could easily be worn out.

Fun fall/holiday dress
Wore this to a parade vip event for corporate sponsors. It's hot in Texas so it was nice to wear something festive that was also light. If you're somewhere cooler it could easily be layered, no problems. Dress is pretty fitted through the mid section all the way down through the hips. If you have wide hips or a booty you may want to consider sizing up, I did feel like I had to keep pulling it down.

The tie on the side threw me off at first but it was easy to get use to. I wore this for an service at a church but it could easily double for a work outfit. Great for winter and fall. Loved the sleeves and ruffle detail on the skirt. Nice thick material.

rich material, unique hem
Perfect dress for fall/winter. The material looks and feels expensive. Flattering fit. I did run into issues with the zipper, it was a feisty one but after some struggle, I was able to get it up and down the waist with ease. The waist is tailored with no stretch, if you're in between sizes I'd recommend sizing up

Fun bright print
Colors are super bright. A-line fit is flattering. The shoulders are fun and help balance the a-line fit, the only downside is the material used to make them "poofy" is itchy. Did think this was a little low for work. wish I had worn a cami with it. Overall cute fun dress.

So. Tight.
This is the most body con thing I've ever put on my body. I am so happy I made the call to size up after reading other reviews. I don't think I would have been able to pull it on over my head if I didn't. The print is super bright and fun. Material is light. This dress will show EVERY bump and line, so just keep that in mind before renting.

This dress is a show stopper. Wore this wine tasting and received compliments everywhere we went. The material was light enough to wear in the Texas summer (90-100 degrees). The material has NO give so size up if you are in-between sizes. The arms were particularly tight which was slightly uncomfortable. Overall LOVE this dress.

Pretty dress runs small
I felt like this was sized for petite. I've not had this issue with other wrap styles such as DVF. Waist was way too high on me. Same with the bust. I wasn't able to wear. I wish I had gone a size up. I love the material very pretty dress just didn't fit me well.

Beautiful colors - darling dress. However, if you are in-between sizes I recommend sizing up. I've had the same problem with this brand before, the waist is high - sits on the lower part of my ribs right above my waist - hints the recommendation to size up.

For some reason in my head I thought this would be cotton. It's not! It's some sort of blend that is stretchy and slinky. Loved the print. Super comfortable. Doesn't wrinkle. The cut, print, and draping look very Indian. Wore it to work and got a lot of compliments, overall cute dress!
