Perfect brunch dress
I wore this for my birthday brunch at Commanders Palace, which turned out to be a surprise party. The dress was so unbelievably comfortable and I didn't feel overdressed at any point. It is completely see through on top so make sure you have a bandeau to wear.

Loved it so much, rented it twice
I rented this dress twice, each time for weddings. At both events so many people told me how classy and gorgeous the dress was. It's so comfortable and figure flattering and the color was everything. It was very easy to move and dance in and I look forward to renting it again.

Perfectly classy and cute
I loved the fit and style of this dress and received so many compliments. It was perfect for a June wedding. I only wish I had worn the 10. The cocktail reception was outside and I felt like I was swelling a little. But it was still a great dress!

Cute and comfortable
I wore this to a birthday brunch I planned for my boyfriend. It was perfect for the occasion and extremely comfortable. I ended up wearing the large because the shoulder area was restrictive in the medium. I will rent this again.

First Rental I've Hated
I absolutely hated this beautiful dress. Getting it on was like trying to dress myself in one of my 3 year old's dresses. It should have a substantial side zipper, but instead has one in the back. This made it so difficult to get it on. Once I finally got the large on, I was sweating and it was too big. I wasn't about to attempt to get the medium on. The material is thick and really doesn't have much give. The sleeves, although too big, were quite constricting. This dress is gorgeous but not worth the fight for me. I wore a backup instead.

Loved the color.
This was my backup dress and I'm so glad I ordered it. I received many compliments from people I haven't seen in years. Pros: amazing color, stretchy material, great length, perfect for hugging curves, would look great with a variety of shoes Cons: the layover in the back laid weird because of my large butt. As a result, I was constantly checking to make sure it was pulled down and laying as flat as possible.

Mystery jewelry win
This was my first time renting mystery jewelry. I was concerned I would receive something I didn't like, but these earrings were gorgeous and complimented the dress I rented so well.

So many compliments
My friend picked this dress out for me to wear at her wedding. She didn't do a full bridal party, but wanted her girlfriends to wear her wedding colors. This dress made me look so sexy. My only complaint was the length of the straps as I have small shoulders and a tiny bust. A padded bra and safety pins helped with that though. I received so many compliments from wedding guests and strangers on the street. If you have curves this dress will accentuate and compliment them.

A great compliment
These earrings were a great compliment to the dress I rented for my friend's wedding. They added an extra level of glam and paired well with my gold stewpot shoes. This was my first time trying mystery jewelry and I wasn't disappointed.
Compliments all night
I am pear shaped, typically a size 8 in pants and a 34B bra/small top. The medium fit like a glove. It was longer than I expected (I'm 5'2") but I wasn't mad at that. I ended up loving the length. It is tapered at the bottom so be aware if you'll be walking a lot of stairs. The dress wasn't stretchy, but it also wasn't suffocating. I felt like I had room for my wined up stomach to expand. My boyfriend said I looked smoking hot so I wish I could buy this one in a variety of colors!

Great spring time dress.
The fit of this dress was a little strange. I normally wear an 8, but the top in that size was HUGE. I am a 34B and am used to extra space in the bust, but the top was saggy and droopy. I have thick thighs and a large butt and recommend that you go down a size even if you think you shouldn't. I read the reviews so I ordered an 8 and 6 and ended up wearing the 6. I have worn an 8 in every other dress I've rented. I accessorized the dress with a pale pink belt from H&M and wore nude flats from Aldo. I got many compliments and would rent the dress again. Oh, the fabric of the dress is very lightweight so it's perfect for spring and summer!

Sexy silhouette!
I love this dress and wish I owned it. The material was thin enough to keep me comfortable at a courtyard wedding in 100% humidity. We even second lined around the block and I didn't break a sweat. The design of the dress was perfect for my curves. It was a little loose in the bust area but I wore a nicely padded bra to remedy the problem. The material is great at hugging curves and hiding any imperfections, but not so tight that the dress rides up. I didn't bother trying the 10 on because the 8 fit so well. Condition of the dress was great!

First time rental!
This was my first rental and I will be renting again. My dresses arrived on time and well packaged. Both size options were in wonderful condition. The color was great and I wore beige colored pumps that matched the lining. The dress does run big in the waist and bust area. Even when I put on a ridiculously padded bra I still had so much space. I think a belt would have helped but I didn't have time to look for one. All that being said, I would still wear it again as the extra space wasn't bad enough to look frumpy. I got so many compliments at an outdoor Spring wedding in New Orleans.
