Gorgeous!
Would've given 5 stars but strap adjusters kept sliding down. Not a deal breaker just found myself adjusting cleavage throughout the night. Fabric was very soft and stretchy, was able to eat a ton and still be comfy

Too baggy
This dress fit okay but was really baggy in the waist- which is okay if that's the look you want but I felt that it wasn't flattering on me (especially in the chest area, made the girls look saggy with all the extra fabric underneath). Returned without wearing.

Wrong size
Rented this through unlimited and they only had a 4 which is one size up from my normal, but I probably needed a 6 (I am 8 mo preggo). The ruching on the front is misleading as I thought this would have a stretchy waist that might accommodate my 8 month bump, but alas it is fixed/stitched with a zipper in back. I could barely zip it closed but had to hike the narrowest part up to my bra line and it seems that it should sit a little lower than that. A larger size may have fixed these issues- too bad because the fabric and print are gorgeous and lightweight for summer! Might try in a larger size if it ever becomes available!

Cute maternity option
Wore this at 8 months pregnant- the waistband is stretchy which is essential at this stage; although the cotton fabric has no stretch to it. I was still able to wear my regular size in this, which means this probably runs large if you are not pregnant. Overall cute fit and a nice print.
Floral Judd Dress
A.L.C.
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 32B
Wore multiple times
Arm holes were a little small but not uncomfortable. Was loose around the body which was perfect for me around 8 months pregnant. I'm usually a 2-4, and the 4 still fit. Fabric is a little sheer so you may want a slip on bottom.
Tilly-B Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 7"

Didn't wear
Chest was too large, skirt/wrap was too small. The wrap ties wouldn't fit around my rib cage but instead wrapped around my upper abdomen, which is a weird place for a maternity dress to wrap. No stretch whatsoever. Print and sleeves were cute though, and appropriate length.

Compliments from random strangers
I thought this really accentuated the bump with the pleating, which made me a little self conscious; but random people told me I looked great! Material was soft, stretchy; not too tight. Only thing is that it was a little short for work, (I'm 5'7"), would be about mid thigh when I sat down, so felt myself tugging it down a bit. Otherwise easy and comfortable to wear.

Fit great over my 7 month bump and didn't make me feel huge. Nice tailoring and feminine details. Thought about buying it but likely will rent again

Preggo but still felt like the salsa emoji
I wore this at 26 weeks pregnant. I'm usually a size 2-4 and wore the 8; I've gained about 15 lbs compared to before my pregnancy. This was definitely snug everywhere and was a little tight on the belly but I felt like it actually gave some support and was still stretchy enough to be comfortable. The material is thick so didn't need spanx or a bra.

Still felt sexy while pregnant
I wore a small, which was still large (I was 20 weeks preg at the time as well), so probably could have even used an xs. The arm holes are quite open so you can see through to the chest while moving around, so I wore with a strapless black bra to avoid flashing people. Otherwise, the v back / front was sexy without showing too much skin. And the middle was loose so hid the bump well.

Didn't wear
These earrings are slightly curved, however they were both curved the same way (so that when wearing, one side curves towards the face and the other side curves away from the face). I felt like I got two earrings made for the same side, instead of mirror images. I saw someone else mentioned this and I had hoped it was a fluke since these are really cute, but ultimately I didn't wear them because it looked strange.

So lightweight!
Easily transitioned from day to night. Very lightweight. I loved the movement of the little flowers, and the mix of colors went with almost everything. I just took off a star because the metal did irritate my ears a bit (might be wary if you have sensitive ears), but otherwise great rental.

Able to wear multiple times
Wore this during the day and going out at night. Neutral color that goes with tons of stuff. Easily fits the iPhone XS and a few makeup essentials. There are two card slots under the flap which makes stowing /retrieving a credit card and ID very easy- won't need a separate wallet. Just a warning, there is a small gap between the top flap and the sides of the purse so very small items could fall out of the body of the purse if it is turned on its side/upside down.

These were just the right size and very light to wear (I forgot I was wearing them). Easily dressed up and down.

Nice accessory
The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because my iphone didn't fit inside (I have a 6S with a case on). Otherwise, the clutch is a beautiful shiny gold with an interesting design, and adds a touch of bling to your outfit. There is an attached gold chain, so the clutch can be worn hanging from a shoulder; or the chain can be tucked inside and you can just carry it. Super cute and even got compliments from the guys about how cool it was-

Tons of compliments!
This dress is definitely a slim fit which may be expected since its a sexy body-con type dress. I'm usually a 2 and ended up wearing the 4 which I had ordered as a backup given then other reviews. The skirt in the 2 was so tight I could barely walk! The four was much more comfortable and still fit everywhere else. The fabric is nice and thick, so I didn't have an issue with undergarments showing through, and didn't need spanx since the dress holds you in. Tighter than what I would usually wear, with a hint of sexiness (shoulder cut outs, side slit), but still appropriate for a wedding. My husband loved it!

Just the right amount of sparkle
These are big enough to catch attention and frame your face, but not heavy at all. I didn't even notice I was wearing them until I looked back at pictures. Great accent to many different dresses, since the color is a good neutral.

SO many compliments!
Wore this to a work Christmas party and was a nice change from all black. The fit is classy while still being just a tiny bit edgy/sexy without showing too much skin. Fits true to size but close to the body, need to wear shape wear to look smooth underneath. Very nice fabric and the lace is gorgeous!

Very easy and comfortable to wear
Wore this to an Indian wedding since they typically wear lots of bright colors. The color is a little more neon orange/red than I was expecting, but the fabric had a little sheen to it which makes it feel more fancy/luxe. Very easy to dance in

Got so many compliments and felt glamorous!
Actually wore a smaller size than my usual since I'm a bit smaller up top and didn't want the dress to keep falling down (was a little heavy due to the sequins). I didn't end up having those problems in the end. The dress caught the light beautifully while walking/dancing/etc, and definitely has a glam factor. So great that this came in long! Could still wear three inch heels and the length was appropriate- wasn't tripping but wasn't a high-water look either.

danced the night away
Wore this to a bachelorette party in NYC- was nice to have the pop of blue. The top is very small (even for a small chested gal) and thus tended to flatten you out- the fabric isn't stretchy on top, so larger chested girls may want to size up. The bottom of this dress was true to size, and the bandage-style was very flattering, held everything in place, and didn't ride up even with tons of dancing.

Classy and cute
Wore this to a bridal shower. Nice bright color (pink/lilac) with an easy fit (not too tight in the hips, but not too loose around the middle). Wasn't too short as some shifts can be- fell around midthigh.

Fit and fabric is great. Was a little shorter than I wanted for a work party- so did not end up wearing it.

Sexy and classy.
this dress is a bit difficult to get on, however, once in it really holds you in. I rented the red in a small, which I ended up wearing. They sent the blue as a backup in a M, I guess because they were out of the red. The S and M both fit okay, but the ruching wouldn't stay in place for the M and I kept having to adjust, so I went with the small. I also really wanted to wear the red, since it was around the holidays. I got tons of compliments! You need a safety pin at the top of the zipper on the inside to keep it from sliding down, as some of the other reviews have said.

Beautiful dress, fit right in at an Indian wedding.
I wanted to wear something bright and a bit fancy for an Indian wedding that I was attending, and this fit in beautifully with all of the colorful saris/beading. I got a ton of compliments and felt like a million bucks. The brocade is beautiful and very forgiving on the figure. The lines of the dress are amazing, and it fit to a T, although I could see this being a bit long on shorter individuals.

this dress was gorgeous, and pretty much fit true to size (I rented the 2 which is my usual). However, it was really tight over my shoulders (I have a pretty athletic build, broad shoulders) and would have been uncomfortable so I had to return without wearing :(
