Compliments all night!
I rented this for a summer White Party, it was absolutely perfect for the occasion! The reviews are true- it does in fact run small. I sized up for my backup size, & the larger next size up fit like a glove. Would definitely rent again for the right occasion.

Interlude Dress
ELLIATT
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Fun Dress
I wore this for a little birthday eve date night out with my husband. I'd just had a baby 2 months prior, and picked this because the cut seemed like it would be forgiving of my postpartum body. It was, and I decided I didn't need the larger back-up size, as it is pretty roomy, but it does run a little short. Any shorter would have been too short, but it just stayed on the right side of that line. But certainly don't imagine bending down in it!

Gorgeous Comfy Classy Perfect!
I rented this dress for my 5 year Wedding Anniversary Dinner Party. This was the perfect dress for the occasion. Loved the cut- loved the asymmetrical a-line skirt- so cute & chic & flattering! So many compliments all night long! The material is very thick & very heavy, but since it's a short, sleeveless dress & the material prevents the skirt from being clingy, & we were mostly indoors in air conditioning, it was still a perfectly fine dress for a summer evening. The dress is tight around the bust/chest area. This was fine for me, as I'm not a busty lady, but for those more well-endowed in the chest area, I would probably advise sizing up for your backup. The a-line skirt was very forgiving of my form & comfortable for a long night of mostly sitting and eating. I would definitely rent this dress again for the right occasion!

So cute!
I rented this dress for my birthday dinner with my family. This dress is SHORT. I was fine with it, because it's what I was going for, but be advised (especially if you have a longer torso like me) do not try bending down or forward at all in this dress! It's a lot darker than it appears in the picture. I was expecting a white dress- its more of a tea-stained/ sand color. Also, the material was a lot thicker than I expected. From the photo, I expected something a lot lighter, but the fabric is reminiscent of an almost muslin or canvas-like material- still soft, but just thicker. The sleeves are very wide, because of the way the wings bunch mid-sleeve, they just stay out wide (I have narrow shoulders so it worked), but it bordered on nearly too wide. Also- something you won't see from the photos- it has pockets! Which can be fun. However, they can also contribute to some wide-ness in the hips. I did spend a considerable part of the night stuffing my hands in my pockets anytime I stood up, in an attempt to smooth down the pocket-lining fabric, which would bunch up beneath the skirt.

Poppy Toss Dress

Serious compliments all night long!!!
This dress will get you noticed! Rented it for the BCA Ball, and it was perfectly elegant. Super classy & super SEXY. You can't see it in a lot of the pictures, but FYI, there's a slit in the front/ middle of the skirt, that goes straight up to just above the knee. Since, I'm 5'5" & I ordered the Tall length, so I could wear my 6" heels with it, the slit made walking with that length really easy. Gorgeous!

SO GORGEOUS- wish I'd been able to wear it!!!
Rented this for the BCA Ball. This dress was my back-up style for if the other evening dress I originally ordered did not fit. Love this dress! Wished I could have worn both- 2 in one night. I will definitely be renting this dress again when I have an occasion to get to wear it. I would caution it's on the shorter side though. I'm 5'5" & I'm barefoot in this picture. For it to still reach to the floor I wouldn't have been able to wear anything higher than kitten heels. Tall people should know that (or anyone planning to wear this with a particular set of heels).

Compliments all night long!!
This dress is gorgeous! I normally wear a size 2. I saw all the reviews mention it's not a stretch dress (which it's not), so I ordered the 2 & the 4 as my back-up size. However, while it's true the dress has very little give, it does run large, so I ended up needing to have them overnight me the 0 which fit much better.

Compliments all afternoon!
Rented this for my friend's Bridal Shower, & it was the perfect dress! I'm very flat in the chest area, however, so while this fit me perfectly, if you are the least bit busty, I'd probably steer clear, or size way up!

Pink Kenna Dress

So festive & work-appropriate!
Rented this for our daytime office Christmas party. Ran a bit large, but otherwise- loved it!

Green Illusionist Sheath

So many compliments
Beautiful dress. It is SNUG around the bust. That was fine for me- I'm very flat chested, so it was very flattering as it almost made me appear to have fuller cleavage. But for anyone who's not flat as a board, like myself, anticipate that snugness... (maybe size up)?The material is VERY scratchy. It was beautiful, but that part, especially around the tight chest/arm area, was uncomfortable.

Compliments all night!
Definitely runs small- go a size-up! Ended up wearing my larger back-up size, and my back-up size was still quite snug. I wore the Long size- I'm 5'5" - I wore 6" heels- the length was perfect. Gorgeous dress!
