Fun holiday top
wore this for Christmas with wide leg pants and boots and loved it. definitely was a little inconvenient cooking with the sleeves but i loved the fit. I also wore a vest with it and really liked the look.

Fun casual top
I wore this for a date night and dressed it up with heels and then for a lunch and wore jeans/sneaks with it. Felt it was very flattering but definitely had to put in some ironing work on the tie to get it flat. Only complaint is the sleeves were tight. Luckily you couldn't tell because of the puff but a little uncomfortable. Also I had to safety pin this because the button kept popping open so bustier ladies be prepared with backup.

Loved!
Wore this for date night and a girls night. It is really low cut (but I was expecting that and liked it) so just be aware. I used fashion tape to keep it from sliding since I wore a bra with it. The only thing is there is no give to this fabric so for me the chest area was a little tight since I'm a D but not too tight to make it unwearable. Just know it won't stretch out. I got a ton of compliments both times.

Wore this for a dinner with girlfriends and a date night. Cute top for when the weather is a little cooler for a night out. Definitely low cut but that was expected. I would rent again

Not the right fit for me
I wore these and they were ok but overall didn't love the fit. I have an hourglass figure and the waist was too big so i had to pin and belt them. When I made the waist fit (they were basically falling off without the belt) the pants were a little too short. For someone that has a straighter torso or has shorter legs these (my height is all in my legs) might work but I wouldn't rent them again

Fun pants to dress up or down
I WFH and had a weeklong work conference so I rented some items for that and I was so happy I picked these! Wore them with a vest and heels and they were perfect. Super comfortable and fit true to size. I will say the crotch area was a little long on me but not very noticeable.

Not cute
I sized up two sizes like other people said but it still didn’t work for me and I never wore this dress. It was tight but I could get it on but the dealbreaker for me was the length. Most of my height is in my legs and I was worried about my lady parts showing when I stood/sat. Wouldn’t recommend

Great maternity option
I was 17 weeks pregnant when I wore this and loved it ! I went with my normal size and felt like there was plenty of room. The top part was a little tight with a bra but it has enough support to go without one. Right now I'm a 34 DD and I felt comfortable going bra less. Loved the high low length for a more formal event.

Fun Floral Dress
I rented this for a rehearsal dinner and loved it. I was 17 weeks pregnant when I wore it and initially ordered it cause I thought it would help disguise the bump, however I was too big to hide it when the time came. I am usually 6/8 so I ordered the large and extra large. I ended up wearing the large but honestly I could have probably worn the medium. I had to pin/tape the top (and I'm a 34 DD). I would say get your regular size or go a size down. Would definitely rent again!

Great Holiday party dress
Love the color of this dress and majority of the fit. I am 5,6" and wore about 3.5 inch heels and the length was perfect for me. Only complaint was the neckline. Major side boob showed so I had to use a lot of fashion tape. However the tape slipped eventually cause the part I had to tape moved a lot. Just be prepared for a side show

Fun dress
This was a great form fitting dress. The 8 fit good but the top part is definitely loose (and I have D cup boobs). I would recommend using tape to keep the top up. I tried to wear the 6 and I could get it on but it wasn't comfortable. Would definitely rent again

Fun and Flirty
I rented this for an event at an Indian wedding so I wanted something colorful and fun. The fit was great and I got so many compliments. Honestly I think I could have sized down one, but the chest was too tight (i'm a 34D).

Not the best fit for me
This dress was a weird fit on me. The dress overall runs small so I opted to wear the larger of the two sizes (normally size 6, wore the 8). The body of the 8 fit well but the top was really big (and I am a size D chest). I had to fasten the top of the dress with tape so it didn't slide down and flop over. Quality of the dress was amazing and it was very flattering, just wish the top fit better. I wore a strapless bra and spandex underneath. I think you could get away with no spanx because of the quality of the fabric.

Beautiful but runs big
I rented this for a black tie company Christmas party and loved it. Some reviewers recommended sizing up for your back up, however I wish I had sized down. I am usually an 8 and got a 10 for backup and the 8 was just kind of baggy. The top part was huge on me and I have a D chest. Also, I did not feel comfortable without a bra so I wore a backless strapless bra with it. Overall the dress was beautiful and flattering, I just wish I had gotten the 6. I am 5'6" and wore 2 1/2 inch heels and the length was perfect. Would definitely order again but just a size smaller.

Vacation Show Stopper
I rented this for a fancier night out on our recent trip to Cabo San Lucas. ABSOLUTELY loved this and so did my husband. I do think the inseam is better for ladies 5'7" or under as it was pulling a bit on me and I am 5'6". The overall fit was kind of large...I felt like the sleeve straps were too big and I couldn't adjust them so I just tucked them in so I didn't have to mess with them all night. I liked where the legs hit on me and would DEFINITELY rent this again.

Fun Gown
Rented this dress for a formal summer wedding. As others have mentioned, there is no slit so even walking is kind of tough. I was holding it up most of the night. Also, the fabric is REALLY thick. Needless to say in Texas it was 100+ degrees and I never shy away from the dance floor so if you're like me and love to dance, this might not be the the best dress. It was like a furnace under the dress! I originally tried wearing a strapless bra for extra support, but it showed in the cutouts so I went braless. The dress is pretty well made so this was not an issue. The fit is a little tighter up top. I even tried on my backup size to see if it wasn't as tight, but the 10 was HUGE on the bottom so went with the 8. Personally I don't think I would rent it again just because I didn't like how hard it was to walk without a slit. I am 5'6" and I wore about 3 inch heels the length was perfect.

Fun Twist on LBD
I wore this for a bachelorette party and it was perfect. Our group wasn't sure how fancy we were going to go so this is something that you can easily dress up/down with accessory changes. If you are hippy (like I am) I would definitely size up. I could get on the medium, but it was really hard to get over my hips/bottom area and the large was much more comfortable. I am 5'6' and this hit me a few inches above my ankles. The "sleeves" are kind of long so it almost felt like they were straps that fell down. I debated tucking them in, but decided to leave them out. I wore with a strapless bra and felt that it was plenty of support. The fabric is thick, however I wore this in Austin in the summer and was not too hot.

Not the best fit
I rented this for my birthday dinner with the hubby at a casual restaurant. I felt the torso was just way too small. I am 5' 5" and most of my height is in my legs. My stomach is probably the width of both my hands next to each other. The medium fit but you could not get around CT. I had to go with the large and it was just not very flattering. I never took a picture cause I just wasn't super happy with the look. Fun casual romper but I think it's better suited for shorter ladies with short torsos.

It's all in the details
This was my backup dress since the original was not available. I usually wear between a 6 and 8. Based on other reviews I ordered an 8 and 10. I ended up wearing the 8, but I feel like this dress runs a little large so I could have worn a 6. The embroidery is beautiful, but in person I was just not a fan of the sleeves so I pinned them inside the dress. They were a little to much for this Plain Jane gal. I have a small waist, large thighs and a large (34D) chest, and I had room to move and was comfortable all night.

Fun formal dress
This dress was beautiful but it didn't blow me away. The top part was definitely a little tight...the 4 could zip but I felt like I couldn't breath out in it so I went with the 6. I love that it has pockets, but I am giving it a 3 because I am just someone that moves alot and this was too much dress for me. Lesson learned :( I rented this for a black tie company Christmas Party.

Great for a winter wedding
I rented this for a black tie optional wedding in December. The color is somewhere between a red and burgundy and I feel like it would be flattering on a lot of complexions. It definitely was tight, but that is just kind of how the dress is supposed to me. I wore Spanx to keep things smooth and no bra (I am a 34D and it wasn't an issue!) Would definitely rent again.

Did not wear
I got this as a replacement for my original rental, but unfortunately I could not wear this dress. The bottom half fit great but I could not get my arms through the sleeves. I don't have HUGE arms, but they are a little muscular so it was a no go for me. The fabric, print and quality was fantastic. Bummer I couldn't wear it. I don't know if sizing up would work...I ordered the 8 and I am usually a 6 so I think the 10 would have just been WAY to big.

Did Not Wear
I got this dress as a replacement for my original order. They didn't have both sizes so I just got the 8. I usually wear a 6 in dresses and the 8 was too small on me. I have a booty and wide hips so the bottom half was really tight and the fabric had no give at all. I would have worn it if that was the only concern, but the sleeves were TINY and I could not get my arms through them.

Aboslutely Love!
I rented this for my god daughter's baptism and it was absolutely perfect. I always worry about dresses with sleeves since I feel like the majority are made for people with stick arms. I did not have that problem with this dress and I would definitely rent it again. I have a D chest and larger legs, but there was plenty of room in the 6. I think I could have even worn a 4. It was so comfortable and I would highly recommend for any daytime event.

Great NYE Outfit
We went to a friends house for new years so I still wanted to be festive, but not in a dress. This top was the ticket! I got the M and L and ended up wearing the M. I was worried about it being tight through the chest since I am 34D but it was spacious up top and not uncomfortable. I could move my arms very easily in it. Only reason I am not giving a 5 is because some of the sequins were coming off so the strings got caught on my jewelry and other things throughout the night. Would definitely rent again and recommend.

Fun Party Outfit
I wore this for my birthday brunch and it was just perfect! Such a fun and flirty dress and I got so many compliments on it. Like others have said one side is shorter but I didn't really find it to be an issue. I rented the Small and Medium and the Medium was just way too big in my chest area (and I'm a D cup) so I went with the small. I think if you are smaller chested size down or have some tape ready. Also, I wore pasties with this since the back is completely open so if you're a girl that needs some sort of bra this dress isn't for you.

Classic LBD - Always a Hit
I felt like this dress ran a little small, but I have a larger chest and wide hips so that might be why. I usually wear a 4 or a 6 in dresses, but I ordered the 6 and 8 in this dress and went with the 8 for comfort. I loved that I could wear a regular bra with this and I also wore Spanx for a little extra cinching, but they were definitely not necessary. The slit in the middle was the only somewhat down part about this dress, but once you get used to it and remember its there it isn't a problem.

A little tight
I got this dress instead of my backup size because that size wasn't available. Personally I wasn't a fan. I usually wear a 4 or 6, and often a 4 in dresses. This 6 just didn't allow for any curves. I have a little backside curves and a D chest and it was way too tight. I ended up wearing another dress since this one didn't work for my body type.

Very Flattering
I loved this dress. I usually wear a 4 but since I saw in other reviews that it ran somewhat small I ordered the 6 and the 8 as my backup. I ended up wearing the 8 because the 6 was REALLY tight across my chest area and made the dress bunch up awkwardly. This dress was so fun and comfortable to wear and I got a lot of compliments. I danced all night and was never uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend wearing Spanx just to smooth things out.

Perfect outfit for the occassion, not in love though
I rented this jumpsuit for my bachelorette weekend in Austin. I had looked at a lot of other dresses on this site but ended up picking this because I knew it would be somewhat cold outside and I didn't want to be waltzing around in a skimpy dress. The fabric is surprisingly really thick and unlike alot of white clothing items not see through at all. I usually wear a 4 and am about 5'6", 135 lbs. I was nervous about the fit because I am curvy in the hips/thighs, so with a jumpsuit there is always a risk of the camel toe! I didn't experience that at all and felt it was a great fit, however I am giving it a 4 because I personally just wasn't in love with it as I had been with other rentals. That is just me though and nothing against the jumpsuit or quality. Also, a nice added touch is the legs have zippers up the sides so depending on your shoes you can zip it up and down to make it look right.

Rented this for a company Xmas party. Had multiple random people come up and compliment me. LOVE!
I was nervous about the fit because I have a small waist, but wider hips so sometimes things fit up top and are tight below. This dress was perfect. The 6 was my backup size and was a little to big. The length of the 4 was perfect with my 3-4 inch heels. Would definitely recommend this show stopper!
