Great fall wedding dress
Fit my postpartum body comfortably, nice and light and flowy. It was great for a fall wedding.

Oddly shaped
I rented for family photos but didn't end up wearing. The dress fit, but the top had an odd way of forming around my body and the sleeves and shoulder area were huge and unfitted. My husband commented about the odd gaps between my skin and the dress. This dress is probably not for those with medium to large chests, I think my breastfeeding boobs were what made the fit odd.

Not for curvy/large chested
I was hoping this would help me feel comfortable in my new postpartum body at our first wedding after our twins and the pandemic, but it looked horrible. This dress is not for those with any type of chest. I am probably a small D while breastfeeding, but even in my normal size the area for breasts would not have been big enough. I did not wear.

Work & Play - great dress
I wore this dress to a work event AND a Gatsby party and it worked great for both. Very comfortable, thicker material worked well in the winter.

Great Valentine's Gala Dress
Non-stop compliments, pockets, and I didn't even have to wear a bra! What more could you ask for in a dress? I felt a little dressier than most at the event but throughout the night ladies would stop and compliment the dress. It was tighter in the chest but flared out over the hips and was beautiful. I usually wear a 4 or a 6 and didn't even try the 6 on. Arrived in perfect condition.

Perfect for a NYE wedding on a freezing night
This dress was a great rental for a freezing cold NYE wedding. I was one of the few not in sparkles or black which made me definitely stand out. The dress is thick and the sleeves were just the right length for me. The dress his me just at the ankles, but I could still easily dance. My hips run a bit larger, so the dress was tight in the seat and I did have to pull it down throughout the night, but it fit well everywhere else. Definitely order up if you have hips! The 8 was my order up and my hips were tight. The dress came with a small tear on the right forearm, which I didn't notice until heading to the wedding and it was too late to do anything about so I wore it anyways. I doubt anyone really noticed.

Nice dress for a more than casual holiday party
I wore this dress to my future in-laws holiday party with black tights and ankle boots. It was comfortable and dressy enough. I helped with food prep, so I would recommend anyone near food or water to be mindful that wet spots are very visible until they dry. The sleeves feel weird but look cute. I'd rent again for a similar function.

Loved this!
This dress was fun and flowy and such a blast to dance in! It was long so I had to wear heels, but that's ok. The 4 was tight enough in the chest I didn't have to wear a bra, but was SO hard to zip up. When I tried it on I had to have help getting it zipped. Luckily I was dressing alone for the wedding and was able to get it myself. I wore this to a wedding in a catholic church (with a blue shall to cover shoulders) and it transitioned perfectly to a Boston fall barn reception. Highly recommend!

Too Big
I rented the six knowing the four would have worked best but wasn't available. The dress fit but the chest of the six was WAY too big. Regardless of fit, I don't know if a bra/support is possible in this dress with the low front and back and would only recommend it to ladies who don't need support in the chest area.

Very Pretty, A Bit Uncomfortable
I loved the look of this dress, and it was adjustable and tight enough that I didn't need a sticky bra. It was really challenging to get into (my fella had to untangle the straps and tighten me in). Other reviews mentioned the weird liner - there wasn't much difference in the fit of the 4 and 8 (no 6 avail) bc of the adjustable straps but the liner on the 4 looked better. It didn't bother me sitting until the hour-long speeches and waiting for our turn for the buffet. By the hour+ sitting it was incredibly uncomfortable. I would highly recommend if you aren't sitting much!

Nice cold weather dress
I rented this dress for my birthday dinner with my fella and friends. My birthday is mid-January, so its always cold and snowy in Michigan but I really wanted to feel beautiful (and also have room for a large meal). This dress fit the bill! I wore it with black heels and tights with a black clutch. The slit on the chest IS LOW so my bra showed a bit, but my fella didn't care! I usually wear 4 or 6, the 2 I rented as my backup size due to reviews I couldn't even fit over my head! The four was perfect, wasn't too short, and was comfortable.

Nice dress
I rented this dress to wear to the rehearsal of a beach wedding in Florida. It would also work well for a non-beach wedding or for a baby/wedding shower. It was a little tighter in the bust than most 4s are on me but it still worked. There is a seam that goes around the middle of the skirt that was a bit odd. Liked, didn't love.

Went great with my rented dress!
This necklace was suggested to go with a Shoshanna dress I rented for a beach wedding in Florida. It was heavy but didn't bother me one bit. Love it!

Perfect Dress for Beach Wedding
I wore this dress to a wedding on a beach in Florida and it was PERFECT. It went well with the beach theme but didn't risk being close to the bridesmaids gowns. It was comfortable and the pockets were great without making me look "hippy." I wore it with the suggested necklace. Lots of compliments!

Pretty but chest didn't fit well
The MR fit me well, except the sides of my chest puckered like mentioned in some other reviews. It was really unflattering. Other than that, the dress fit well. The pink is subtle and pretty. I wore it with nude heels but changed into flats for dancing, as pictured.

Backup dress for a wedding
I ordered this as a 2nd option for a wedding. It's a very pretty dress and fit, but I liked the other dress better. The photo is of me in the 6. I could probably have worn the 4 since the six was a bit big. I would rent this again.

Loved this dress!
I was VERY hesitant to rent this dress, and even rented a 2nd dress just in case this one showed too much skin. No need! I have never gone braless before but did in this dress. I brought a bra with side stickies and could have worn it but the stickies may have showed a bit. It was comfortable and I felt gorgeous. My fella loved it, too!

Fun dress
I rented this to wear to Book of Mormon and really liked it. The keyhole in the front was a sexy touch but it was long enough to not feel too risqué. It fit well except the hips were a bit snug, so I had to pull it down a bit to keep it from bunching when I stood up. I ordered the 4 as a backup and didn't even try it on. I think the 8 would have fit better on my hips but would have been too big up top. This is a good dress for a cocktail event or wedding. I got compliments all night!

Very cute and comfortable - terrible zipper, tho!
I wore this dress to meet my boyfriends parents for lunch at a country club in Florida. I wanted to look nice and not too casual, and this dress did the trick with nude wedges. I ordered the 6, and was glad it fit bc no back-up was available. The dress fit well and was in great shape, however, had my fella not been there to handle the zipper I would not have been able to get it on myself. It catches at the waistband.

Fit great except for the tummy
I ordered this to wear to my birthday dinner with girlfriends. I LOVED it and it fit great, except it was baggy in the stomach area. I'm wondering if the 4 would have fit better, but it wasn't available. The dress itself is very pretty and classy, I'm considering wearing it to a wedding this spring.

Super cute, very warm, and comfortable
I ordered this to wear to my birthday dinner with my fella at a semi-fancy place. The small wasn't available, so I got the medium and hoped I wouldn't swim. It was a bit big, so I wore it in lieu of a jacket and kept it on for dinner. I wore it with skinny black pants and heels and felt great. I also wore it to a b-day brunch with girlfriends (pictured) the following day with boots and leggings. I would absolutely rent this again!

LOVED this for my 1920's themed housewarming!
I ordered this romper to jazz up for a 1920's themed party I was throwing. I wanted a modern twist on the style and thought it was perfect with tights and accessories. I got SO many compliments and my friends even said I should buy it. I would absolutely wear this romper again to a party, a wedding, etc. and the pockets don't stick out or make you look hippy. I ordered a 4 and got the 6 as my free one, and I'm glad I did because the 6 fit perfectly. I have a longer torso, so the 4 would have been too short. My only complaint is that the zipper is tricky to do on your own. Usually I can pull dresses up to reach behind me, but with the romper I couldn't so I had a friend help. Bathroom breaks were a bit of a to-do because of it. But I would still absolutely wear this again!

Nice for fall/winter occasion
I wore this for a bridal rehearsal and dinner for late October in the midwest. It is thick, so I stayed pretty warm up top. The pockets are a great addition, but I did feel like I was a bit hippy. Other comments said the arms would be tight, but I had no problem with them.
