Pretty Pattern but Runs Big
I wore this dress at four weeks postpartum to a bridal shower. It was comfortable through sitting and eating. However, it ran quite large and you likely need sticky tape to keep the low cut front in place. The length was fine with heels, but this dress generally runs large for petite frame gals.

Baby Shower Dinner
I wore this dress at 33 weeks pregnant to an April evening dinner. It was very comfortable through sitting and eating. The only concern was that the sleeves fell off my shoulders periodically and had to be adjusted and pulled up.

Beautiful Pregnancy Dress
I wore this dress at 32 weeks pregnant to an April wedding. It was very comfortable through sitting, eating, and dancing. The loose structure accommodated my bump, but the pleats made it feel elegant. Highly recommend even for petite gals like me!

Elegant Maternity Dress!
I wore this dress at 26 1/2 weeks pregnant to a February wedding in New Hampshire. It was very comfortable through sitting, eating, and dancing. The loose structure accommodated my bump, but the pleats made it feel elegant and special. Highly recommend even for petite gals like me!

A Fall Favorite!
The velvet fabric, midi length, and floral print were perfect for an October wedding! I styled this with a Sam Edelman Yaro heel. There is no stretch in this dress. And for my small busted ladies: the top runs very large and you *will* need fashion tape or pull the straps to their shortest/tightest option.

Light Airy Dress Perfect for Summer
This dress is really lightweight and beautiful! I wore it to a summer bridal shower with cream Dolce Vita Paily heels. The straps were a bit long (as other reviews stated) and only slipped off my shoulder a couple times. I am 5'0. Otherwise, the open back is really fun and sassy and I would recommend!

Gorgeous, bright, fun color!
I wore this dress to a Cape Cod wedding in May. The color is fun and bright, great for spring. The butterfly lace pattern is whimsy, but the length keeps it somewhat formal. I received many compliments on this dress. However - the bust is quite tight and there is no stretch to the waist or fabric.

Spring Wedding in NC
I wore this dress for a May wedding in North Carolina. I am petite, and the Size 0 was not available for whatever reason. I was traveling for this wedding, so I brought the Size 2 and Size 4 backup; however the Size 2 was a tad too large based on my small frame. You can see in the photo, I could have benefited from the cups and cut-out sitting a little higher and tighter on my torso. However, the straps were not adjustable to get that effect. Otherwise, the heavy fabric and length make this a very elegant, yet fun (hello, cut-outs!), choice for any spring or summer formal event.

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
I wore this to an evening rehearsal dinner and it fit the bill: dark color a little more "fun" than plain black; midi length to avoid being too casual; and the material was light enough for August weather in Boston.

Spring Bridal Shower Vibes
I wore this for a late spring/early summer New England coastal bridal shower and the pastel pink color and floral motif were perfect for the event. I am 5'0 and the full skirt was a little short on even me - I don't know if I would necessarily recommend for tall gals. Otherwise, the material is a good, thick quality

Perfect for Spring
Rented this for a spin on the traditional white graduation dress, however I did not end up wearing it because it was too big. This dress definitely runs large. I could not fill out the chest, so the dress gaped in the arm holes.

Perfect Spring Print!
Wore this for Easter brunch - the floral print was great for a spring day. The cutouts were subtle and not too distracting. Since I am on the shorter side, the hem grazed my ankles rather than calves as shown on the model. The material is thick enough that I did not have to wear a bra. Overall, very happy with this rental!

Nice Details, but...
I rented this skirt because I thought the reddish color would be nice for the holidays, but it ended up being much darker than in the photo so I went with something else that had more "pop."

Perfect Feel for Holiday Gathering
I am 5'0 petite, and usually wear XS. However, I think this skirt runs a little small since I ended up finding that the S was more comfortable to wear. The heavy material is great for winter, and I added hunter green tights for festivity.

Beautiful Colors!
I ordered this dress as a backup and did not end up wearing it. The dress was a nice fit and flare style and the blue-green colors are beautiful in person. The top is a little big in the chest area (material gaps out and doesn't lay flat) at least for a petite 32B. The dress is definitely short, even on someone who is 5'0.

Perfect for a Fall Wedding!
Nice heavier material appropriate for a fall wedding; pockets were a nice touch to keep lipstick handy. It was longer than tea length on me due to my height, but I like that sort of "sweeping" look. You cannot wear a regular bra with this dress, also was a little big in the chest area for a 32B.

Perfect Amount of Sparkle!
I wore this to a black tie wedding, over a gown because gowns don't look as good on my short frame. I made this dress more formal with heels and an updo. It was a little roomy in the bust area for me, and caused the neckline and straps to fit loosely, so might be better for fuller girls. Unlike some other reviews, I could really notice the high-low hemline (see photo), and the embellished top did not scratch or bother me. Overall happy with this dress!

Pretty print!
Wore this dress for a birthday dinner in March with black tights since it was still a little chilly out. The heavy scuba material kept me warm as well. The fit and flare is a very flattering shape.

It fits true to size, a little long - but it was fine since I wore tights. Though it is sleeveless, the nice heavy material made it appropriate for a late winter bridal shower.

Just enough sparkle!
I wore this for a law school cocktail party. The material is heavy, which is great for colder months. The high neck is a nice demure look, while the embellishment is just enough to stand out from the other LBDs.

Great twist on the LBD!
I wore this to a law school cocktail party. Pros: This mini dress is a true mini, even at 5'0. I have a hard time with length and most dresses are usually too long on me. Cons: There are signs of wear, by way of pilling on the black pattern material. Overall: Great twist on the LBD, has a nice snug fit that kept me feeling thin throughout the night, and thick material perfect for cooler fall weather.

Beautiful Dress!
I wore a size 0. The dress fit well in the bust area, but a little loose in the torso/waist. Not too short, and great for dancing. It was a very pretty navy color in person.

Great pattern, easy to wear!
I rented this dress for a daytime wedding. It was a great pattern that was subtle but had pretty details. I'm only 5'1 and thought some 4" wedges would do the trick. No dice! Great dress, but definitely best for taller ladies.

I got this as a back up dress because my back-up size for another dress was unavailable. I didn't end up wearing this, but it was still a beautiful dress. The bright floral pattern is perfect for a daytime wedding.

5'1, 110 lbs, 32DD.. the 2 fit best. The material is not as stiff as it may appear on the model; but more flowy. You will definitely need to use fashion tape on the top. I wore this to a September wedding and got many compliments!

Wore these with a navy dress for a September wedding. They weren't too heavy, and I made sure to wear my hair up to show off the earrings.
