Perfect fall wedding dress
I loved this dress and got many compliments on it! The vibrant colors and velvety fabric are perfect for a fall wedding. It hugs all the right curves, epsecially in the bust and hip area.

Fun & comfy, will get lots of compliments
I loved wearing this "upscale tye dye" dress to a casual wedding that wanted guests to dress comfortably and colorfully. Curve hugging but comfortable, defintiely needs shapewear.

Perfect fun & casual event option
I wore this to a casual outdoor wedding welcome dinner and got tons of compliments on it! I did go with the back up size (XL) since it was a bit tight in the rib/chest area.

Wanted to love it, maybe size down
I'm already a curvy gal and I didn't find the mid-section ruching on this dress flattering at all. It was almost bulky. Perhaps sizing down will help with this.

Perfect for a night out
Loved the unique patterns and bold colors - Got multiple compliments on the dress at the dinner I wore it to. Stretchy fabric makes it comfy to wear, but it is also tad thick, so can end up getting pretty warm in summer weather.

Cute and comfortable summer dress
I was pleasantly surprised with this dress - It far exceeded my expectations. I rented it using a credit from a different dress rental that was delayed and then canceled. In the photos is looks average, but once on it is super cute. I wore it twice - to a neighborhood park party and then an outdoor concert. The jersey fabric makes it comfortable, the pattern is unique and I loved the pockets. I got compliments on it at both events. I would definitely recommend renting it for a casual event or weekend.

Perfect "night out" dress
I rented this for a birthday dinner at a rooftop restaurant. The material is super comfy and the pattern is fun and unique. The chest area can be a little snug, so I'd recommend going a size up for your back up vs a size down. I had fun wearing it and would highly recommend it!

Perfect spring/summer dress
I absolutely adore this dress! It is fun and flirty yet casual and comfortable. I wore it to back-to-back baby showers and felt really pretty in it and got tons of compliments. Plus, any dress with pockets gets automatic bonus points. This is definitely one of my top rentals and I highly recommend it.

Vibrant blue really pops
I rented this for my birthday brunch - It was comfy, cute and fun! Perfect for both daytime and night - The lace detail on the shoulders and bow tie back make it unique.

Great party dress
I had so much fun wearing this dress! It hugs your curves in all of the right places, and the black lace back is unique and sexy. I used it for two occasions - an evening at the ballet and then a daytime wedding reception. The dress is super comfy and I got lots of compliments on it. I would highly recommend renting it.

Beautiful and fun dress that was a crowd-pleaser for my bridal shower!
This pretty dress didn't disappoint - I loved wearing it at my French-themed afternoon bridal shower and I got non-stop compliments from all of my guests. Like ladies have mentioned before, it actually has a lot of silver to it, and the textured fabric makes it quite unique. I wore the 6 (my normal size) and it fit well and was comfortable for the afternoon (bonus - the pockets). I'd highly recommend this for someone looking for a lovely dress for a bridal shower, bachelorette party or rehearsal dinner.

Classy dress for lakeside/garden engagement photos!
I rented this dress for outdoor engagement photos and it was just as lovely as I hoped! The fabric was super comfortable and stretchy. I loved the pockets, and the full skirt flared out perfectly for some twirls. I'm normally a size 6, and the 6 fit perfectly, with a smooth, non-sticky zipper. I would definitely recommend it for engagement photos or a bridal shower.

Great for engagement photos at a favorite neighborhood French bistro!
I absolutely adored this dress - It was just as good as I was hoping it would be! I rented it for engagement photos and really enjoyed wearing it (and ended up using it the following day for a Mother's Day barbeque as well). The fabric is thick and textured, and the colors of the dress are vibrant and stand out well in photos. My normal dress size is 6, and the 6 fit like a glove. The pockets are a nice, fun touch and the full skirt adds great shape. The only thing worth knowing is that the zipper is a bit sticky, so you'll definitely need help from someone to get it up the final 2/3 of the way.

Rented this for a derby party last May - High quality dress.
Being of average height (5'7), I think this dress would best flatter those who are a tad taller.

Great, classy dress that I wore for a Wine Tasting party we hosted. Got a lot of compliments on it!!
I normally wear a size 6 dress, but had to go with the 8. The size six was really tight in the chest area.
