Soft Natural Skirt with pockets!
I’ve recently started following the Kibbe body type system for dressing, and this is a Soft Natural win. The material is soft and drape-y, not too stiff. It provides a gentle waist definition, not too severe. The midi length is perfect. I would pair with tall boots for the perfect look. Wore to work and dinner out with a friend.

Beautiful Holiday Party Pick
Wore this to a semi-formal holiday party and it was perfect. I have a long torso, so it became more of an empire waist, but that was ok. The high waist and gentle pleats are very flattering for wider hips. The length might have been too long for shorter women, it swept the back of my 3” heels. Tough but doable to get in/out of the dress on your own. The sleeves/neckline stayed up all night, it has a sticky edge to assist. Obviously can’t raise your arms, the sleeves stayed are tight as many have noted, but for the right type of event it’s fine.

Easy Breezy Beautiful
Great dress for a summer wedding. The full skirt is lightweight, swishy and covers stomach/hips—no shape wear needed. The color is a bright orangey red that pairs well with gold accessories. The sash add a nice waist accent. Knocking the dress one star because the bodice didn’t stay up, even with double sided tape. There’s no silicone or grippy edge so I had to keep pulling the bodice up.

Americana Chic
Rented for a wedding welcome reception with a “casual with a patriotic influence” dress code. I think this dress nailed the vibe. I loved how long it was, how comfortably soft the denim was. I sized up based on size charts I found online but bad call. The XL was definitely baggy. I’m 36/34/42 and I could’ve cinched the waist an inch.

Black Tie Optional Gem
Loved this dress! It was stretchy but draped beautifully, with great movement while walking. The one shoulder was comfortable, and the back was high enough if you wanted to wear a strapless bra (I went pasties). I wore shapewear shorts which could be seen from the leg slit, just FYI if you’re self conscious, I don’t care. Paired with kitten heels and the dress only got caught a few times—perfect length. Would highly recommend!

Flattering and Fun
Loved this dress! The leopard print is subtle and a rich burgundy color that photographs well. The back is high enough I could wear my shapewear shorts. Went with sticky bra, which was perfect. I don’t know what the sorcery is, but the cowl neck doesn’t hang or show anything it shouldn’t, it just lays perfectly. The flare skirt is very flattering if hips/thighs are an area of concern, great movement on the dance floor. Rent it!

Sexy and comfy?!?
Loved this dress for a holiday party. Styled with sheer nylons and pumps, and a sticky bra. The dress has a snap for modesty for the v neck. Very comfortable, not too tight in the arms, waist or hips. The peekaboo back and the burnout fabric are sexy touches, the stretchy material and ruching are for comfort.

Fun Floral
Wedding theme was garden party, and this dress fit the bill for a hot, outdoor wedding. I loved the low back and the fun skirt flare, but otherwise this wasn’t my favorite rental. The bra inserts had fallen out or been removed so the top was pointy and loose. The underdress was tight and unforgiving, whereas the top dress was a little stretchy. The neck tie was a little frayed which made me nervous. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re tummy or chest sensitive, because those are on display!

Flattering Flare
Adjustable straps (even though they’re the super skinny kind that ALWAYS end up twisted) so you can custom fit the top for your chest. Low cut to show off your assets but not in a nip-slip kinda way—full strapless bra fit and no tape needed. Gorgeous flared skirt great for a dance floor. Beautiful crochet lace style fabric over full skirt liner. Received tons of compliments and wish I had more places to wear!

1920s-ish
Great midi dress for a party! I needed a 1920s era dress for a wedding shower, and I didn’t feel like buying a fringe dress on Amazon. The color and velvet were perfect for a chilly spring day, and paired with accessories I think it fit the bill without being too costume-y. I’m 5’10” and it fell just below the knee. Ended up wearing pasties to avoid having to pin a bra strap. Would recommend.

NYE Wedding Glam
Perfect dress for a New Year’s Eve wedding! Sparkly, sexy, long, roomy in the stomach/hips area, and of course, has pockets! I agree with all other reviews, get fashion tape for the deep v—it was hard to get used to. There is a sash of the same material as the skirt (not pictured on the model), that I knotted and let hang. Great for cinching I guess.

Comfy but Elegant
Enjoyed myself too much at the party to get a full length pic! I’m 5’10” and 160lb and the large was perfect. Sleeves were extra long, hem hit just below my knee, mock neck wasn’t too tight, and the side ruching forgave everything. The material has a little of that acid burn look, but still opaque. Paired with sheer black tights and ankle strap heels, with giant sparkle studs for a holiday party and felt gorgeous. Even considered buying!

Amazing Lace
Perfect midi length, the lace cutouts were a perfect distraction from my walking boot, and the high neck/cap sleeves are an elegant/modest touch if the event calls for it. Agree with others—this is not a dancing dress as you can’t lift your arms up. Full skirt and high waist comfortably hide the stomach/hips of those are areas of concern while defining a waist. Would 100% recommend!

Work Holiday Party Hit
Perfect understated holiday dress. Wore all day at work and it transitioned to 3 different holiday parties that night. The lace material and the lining are stretchy, not stiff. The length is great—hit at the knee for a 5’10” person. Sleeves were more of a 3/4 which I really prefer. Back zip was sticky but that’s my only complaint. Inexpensive party rental!!

Disco Ball Jumpsuit
This jumpsuit is a stunner! Eye-catching, sparkly, fun, you name it, this was it! The belt really helped define a waist, the rubber trim on the inside of the top helped it stay up, and the torso was long enough even for me. It’s a HEAVY jumpsuit, so not great for a hot day, but perfect for our November rehearsal dinner.

Bachelorette glam!
Great dress for splashing out at your bachelorette! The deep v-neck is super flattering without being too low cut to wear a regular full coverage bra, and at 5’10”, not too short to wear out dancing. Just keep your arms down. 😄 The dress sequins did not catch on itself often, maybe 2-3 times total all night. Stretchy fabric, though definitely got warm on a 70° night even if it wasn’t heavy. Would 100% recommend!

Bridal Shower Perfection
Perfect length for tall gals, hit right at the knees for me. The zipper gets sticky at the waist where all the fabric gathers—you will definitely need help getting into the dress. Sleeves were roomy, nothing felt too tight. I have wide hips and was still able to fit comfortably into the 6, though the 8 would have hung better. This dress photographs really well—highly recommended!

Beautiful engagement photos
Rented for our engagement photo shoot formal look. This dress is beautiful! Sheer mesh front required me to wear pasties instead of a bra, but that wasn't a problem for me as I'm small busted. It's double lined but I still went bare underneath to avoid any panty lines in photos. Great length for a tall person in heels. Highly recommended!

Sexy and sparkly
Such a fun party dress! Wore to our Snow-coming dance/party and it was perfect. There's an underskirt below the wrap dress that assured me I would accidentally flash anyone, and the straps are adjustable to customize the fit. Underarms were a bit scratched by the sequins--I disagree with any review that said this dress isn't sequins, it definitely is!

Flirty & fabulous
Wore for a work holiday party and a friend's 30th birthday party, and it was perfect for both. Full skirt, great for dancing and for covering hips if that's a sensitive area. Top was slimming and flattering, with a neckline detail that didn't need a necklace. Muted gold color skirt--not too flashy for work, not too boring for a party. Perfect dress.

Add some emerald to your workday
Flattering cut with the drop flared skirt, great length (I'm 5'10" so always want work dresses to hit at the knee), and such a lovely emerald green. I was complimented on the color by a neighbor on the street. I styled it with mid-calf boots and a black leather jacket, and also black tights and pumps. Great work day or work event dress.

Classy bridesmaid gown!
I'm 5'10" and ended up wearing the 6R because the only thing long about the 6Long size was the under dress, and it hung below the lace in the front of the gown. I wore 3" heels and it hit my ankles. Beautiful fit, surprisingly did not rub in the armpits or cause any chafing. Can be worn with any undergarments. The sparkle is a gold/silver mix to my eyes in real life, but it doesn't show up silver in photographs. Perfect bridesmaid dress.

Very deep v!
I usually love wrap dresses as they are flattering to any body shape, but either this ran small or the cut of the neckline made this wrap dress far too revealing. I ended up wearing a camisole under the dress because I was too afraid it would reveal my boobs. Great thick ties for nice waist definition, but not enough wrap to make the neckline less revealing.

Gorgeous color!
Perfect wedding guest dress. I'm 5'10" and it hit at the knee for a modest style. Not your traditional sheath, it accentuated the waist with the ribbon. The nude liner was thick enough that the lace cutouts didn't feel revealing. Really high quality fabric and vibrant pale emerald color.

Flattering and modest summer work dress
I'm 5'10" and the skirt still fell mid-knee. The tie waist cinches you in, and you don't have to worry about it slipping down because it's connected. Love the hidden button detail so it doesn't snag. It has pockets! Overall just lovely summer dress, for work or play.

Shimmer Jumpsuit, but make it comfy
I'm 5'10" so would have loved a little more length in the body, but was otherwise comfortable. This jumpsuit is very flattering. Easy to wear with a strapless bra or pasties. Rented to celebrate the new year at home, so it looked amazing standing up with heels on in pics but was comfy enough to sit in, too!

My friend rented but couldn’t wear the rented dress—too small!
The fit was so awkward. The bust was huge, and there was room in the chest, but you could barelyzip the back. My friend is usually a size 2, the S was too tiny. When we did get it zipped her back skin was folded! Would recommend picking up in store so you have a backup. Also the fabric is incredibly heavy. Like curtains!

Perfect color for a holiday party (and to stand out)!
No one stated this so have to share: it’s 2 pieces. A red adjustable strap sheath, and a red lace layer that zips and buttons at the neck. Modest enough with the neck/sleeves for a work holiday event, but I definitely stood out on the dance floor. I’m 5’10” and it was just below my fingertips—don’t recommend bending over OR lifting your arms overhead.

As everyone has commented, the bodice has 0% give. I'm a 32" bra band, and the medium fit like a glove. I loved the cut out details, and the swirling skirt was perfect for the dance floor. I got so many compliments on the dress. Wore to a yacht club engagement reception with dress code "summer cocktail." I think this dress fit the bill perfectly.
