MIX IT UP
Loved the print on this jacket. The little gold button at the collar automatically made you look polished. I wore it a couple of times but my favorite was layering it over a leopard dress. Who doesnt love mixed prints? Just FYI its a bit lighter than it looks so if you're braving extreme elements it might not be for you. Also it does have a drop waist that can accentuate hips. Usually I hate that but ended up really liking it on this jacket. The compliments came rolling in.

WILD WINTER ANIMAL PRINT
Guys, this dress is THICK. I'm always on the prowl for warm dresses in winter and this animal print did not disappoint. Its much cuter in person and the detailing is quite pretty. It also holds its shape and doesnt swallow you despite being a heavy fabric. The material is sort of like nylon which I like because it doenst attract dirt or makeup like some dresses.

Linebacker chic
I loved this dress and really wanted it to work but the straps are so long it was ridiculous. I could have pinned them but it would've left the top with a gap. If you have broad shoulders go for it because other than this drops the dress is adorable.

GUYS THIS IS SO CUTE!!
I usually dont rent without reviews but this dress just called to me with the bows on the shoulder. I rented for a wedding but decided to wear another dress I own to free up a space in my unlimited but I WILL BE RENTING THIS AGAIN. The only downside was the bows were a bit big on my shoulders and they are not adjustable. The fabric however is perfect, thick enough to slim you out but not swallow you. Do it now.

Wanted it to work but it didn't.
This is my fault really. I wanted so badly for this to work but I have bigger hips and a smaller waist and the length just isnt my best. The one I got was a it faded but was still beautiful. Oh well, on to the next.

TWO PIECES! Size up if you have HIIIIIPS.
It's mentioned a lot in reviews but be aware this is a top and a skirt. I didnt love how the neck strap felt so I just tucked it under the ruffle up top and your couldnt tell. The dress part has a tie to cinch but if you have big hips and a smaller waist you might want to size up. My hips always create a problem in drop waist dresses but I refuse to let that stop me. Also this color is like... HEYYYYOOOO... Vibrant without being obnoxious. Oh and it might be a bit short for some people.

I wish it was just a tad shorter on me. It's a tent dress so it can quickly overpower your body. However I got a bunch of compliments on it so give it a try!

Dare to be different
This dress is not for everyone but if you want something that will turn heads give it a try. I have an hourglass shape so it was tighter through the hips. If you don't have curves it should hang like a shift. The fabric is like butter too. Very soft. The lining makes it so you can wear whatever under it.

RETRO BERRY!
I love love loved this dress. That being said, it's not for everyone. The pleats in the front give a bit more structure because the fabric is really soft (and comfy). If you're looking for form fitting keep scrolling. It has a seventies vibe and the sleeves are everything. They have a little ruffle detail and slits along the side.

The color is FIRE!
I think this dress really works on an hourglass figure. If it's too loose it might get frumpy. It turns heads and the color pops on camera. The top was just a tad baggy on me.

comPLETEly adorable
The color is great. I think it probably works on most skin tones. If you have larger hips I might suggest sizing up. The only thing I didn't love was the ties at the neck. A bow felt like too much and when loosely knotted the collar would fold over a bit. Not a huge deal though.

Amazing dress but no give
This dress is a head turner for sure. But before you rent be aware THE FABRIC HAS NO GIVE. I have a smaller waist and big hips. I got it on and it looked super cute standing but sitting was a whole different story. I'd rent again and size up for sure

Weirdly Wrinkly and EVERYTHING STICKS to it.
I really liked the concept of the dress. It was cute on but despite it being a heavier fabric it still wrinkled after sitting. Also it attracts everything so don't touch your face and ten your dress. Last note is that I really didnt enjoy the buttons on the cuff of the sleeve. For such a heavy sleeve I felt like they should be open.

WARNING: DON'T WEAR IN THE WIND!
I really liked this dress in theory but wore it to an outdoor tv shoot and the wind kept blowing it way up. I Think it was catching on the long ruffle then just blowing the whole bottom up with it. I would say try dress weights or stick to inside.

HOT DAMN I LOVE THIS.
In person this dress is amazing. It's perfect for summer night. The off the shoulder keeps you cool but the smocking keeps the girls in place. Also its VERY comfy.

EVERYTHING STUCK TO IT!
I wanted to love this dress but it was just ok. I had to add a cami under because it was very low in the front. I think ordering down a size would help. I had it clipped up in the back for this picture. The one thing that bothered me is that everything stuck to it. Every little smudge of make up showed. Also the neck button was really hard to close.

RED HOT any time of the year- JUST RENT ALREADY!
Took a chance on this because it's kind of hard to tell how pretty it is in the photos. I almost thought it was satin finish, which was not going to work for a summer wedding... but to my relief it really is a soft crepe texture. The color is a vibrant versatile red that I think will translate for summer parties as well as holiday parties. AND LADIES CAN WE TALK THIS NECKLINE. I mean you make a statement by being minimal- C.L.A.S.S.Y-AF. Material is lined but I recommend some petals over the girls. I also would leave the tie in the back in a simple tie like the photo vs a bow to avoid a choking feeling. Its a true shift so if you;re looking for bodycon- size down. I loved it so much- I bought it!

Weird but gorgeous- does that make sense?
Took a chance with a bigger size because that's all they had and I know this brand runs small. It was too big. M would have been right. I will say I think I wish the back layer was a but longer but I really like how the waist is lined with black so you can wear light or dark shoes. Would have been a show stopper if I could have worn it.

Waves of RICH RICH Fabric
Oh hello colorful cape. This was an option I *ALMOST wore for a wedding. The ceremony was outdoors in Texas and it was going to cause too much of an internal microclimate but it was beautiful. The shape is very forgiving without being overwhelming. I have a small high waist and large hips so usually that ruffle top number cuts me at the wrong place but not on this bad boy. It just just right. And even though this has A LOT of fabric, it still managed to be slimming. The built in bra kept up the ladies and the suit itself. Make sure you check the pockets of your garment bag for the black sack that containns the ribbon belt. It just tops it all off. I got the long but most normal people would be fine with a regular unless you are tall. I am only 5'3 but with really long legs for my body and I cant stand with jumpsuits dont hit the floor. This would have been perfect with heels.

Ladies Love Guys Loathe
I loove these kind of dresses because I have big hips yet loooong legs. My boyfriend however CANT STAND THEM because they do nothing for my shape. However if you want to eat drink and be merry. Wear this. You could hide a circus underneath. I got this as a wedding option but wore another dress. I loved this fabric and the color but know what you're getting into with the shape. If you've never worn a tent dress just be warned IT IS A TENT. That being said I did love it and will try to find somewhere to wear it. Just size down a couple because even for a tent it runs large.

AMAZING FABRIC
This dress has amazing quality. The fabric is thick but smooth. It's great if you're looking for something a little more modest on top. Pairs great with a statement necklace.

Channel your inner Jackie O.
I L.O.V.E.D this dress. It's a bit tricky to get on (keep the top zipper zipped a bit) but once you do its super adorable. Felt like a 60's throwback. The cut out on the back gives it a cute little accent. The material is thick so probably not best for outdoors in the heat.

Hangs loose and the sleeves are super fun. They fall straight to the sides so they don't look as cartoonish as some others. Loved this dress.

It's short so if you're trying to show off your legs this dress is for you. However it goes so high on your chest that it feels pretty conservative. The only problem I had was picking out jewelry for the neckline but ended up going with a long gold necklace.

I am not that tall 5'3 but I do have longer legs for my body. I wasn't able to wear because it was too short on me. The color however is beautiful.
