Sexy, accentuates curves but not concealing
I felt like I should’ve been called “Madam” in this dress, and very sexy. I read reviews saying that it did a great job at concealing a tummy but I think it actually accented mine (I was a little bloated but not actually carrying much extra midsection weight). It was very comfortable for a Casino Night fundraiser for a local school! Got a ton of compliments and a drunk mom complimented me until it was very awkward. Would recommend!

Beautiful dress with easy access for nursing/pumping moms (also shows lots of cleavage)
This was an amazing dress for a nursing mom. I'm 6' tall and it was the perfect length with flats. I'm 4 months postpartum, so am a little squishy around the middle still and I didn't need to worry about feeling self-conscious about that. However, I wasn't prepared for how my G-cup nursing boobs would look in this dress--they were out there and there's no concealing anything. The back and front are lower cut than I expected so wore a Spanx low-back plunge bodysuit underneath (an unexpected cost associated with this dress). There is little support for a substantial bust and a normal bra would really show. I also wished I had pinned/taped the top to my bra because the left cup would peek out when I sat down. I still felt fantastic in it. This was a more casual wedding so I dressed down a bit and it was perfect. Also could have dressed it up easily for a more formal affair. Also a side note, I had to pump on a populated outdoor patio during the reception, and was able to pull the dress aside on top (both sides). Could have easily fed my baby if she was with me. Super easy, relatively discreet. Best of all, no one batted an eye at a mom doing what moms have to do sometimes.

Great fit on a growing bump, and comfortable in heat and humidity!
I loved wearing this dress. I felt like the waist came up a bit high, but I expected that as I had to find a dress to accommodate my growing baby bump (12 weeks and not my first baby). There are no zippers to worry about. I was able to wear my favorite low cut bra (Natori Feathers) and didn't show off too much. Pretty, flowy skirt with an under-layer that prevented a Marilyn Monroe moment while walking outside. The wedding was in upstate NY on a hot, sticky day until some strong thunderstorms blew through, and it was quite windy afterward. The color is really a rust instead of a poppy, which is what the photo looks like. Very happy with this rental!

Runs small, but comfortable and cool
Got a lot of compliments on this dress at a "dressy casual" 4 pm wedding at a May lake lodge in central Minnesota. I had my 1 year old daughter with me, so being able to move quickly and easily to wrangle a toddler while looking great and not flashing anyone was super important. This dress was the best candidate and easily met those needs...I did catch the Center front panel a couple times when picking her up, but adjusted quickly. I was comfortable and didn't need to constantly adjust. I normally wear a medium, but even the Large was tight around my waist, fit well elsewhere. The fabric is light and wrinkles easily, so I needed to iron before and was wrinkled by the time I arrived (a 5 minute walk from my cabin). This dress is lightweight and perfect for a warm weather, outdoor wedding. The slits on the skirt come up pretty high, but made it easy to move. I'd recommend sizing up and enthusiastically renting this dress for a summer wedding!

Fun, lightweight and complimentary
Great wedding earrings. They're lightweight, fun and have a little bling. 4 stars because they were curved from the box but that didn't affect them that much.
