I loved this dress so much I wore it for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party! It was the perfect bridal mini—flattering, romantic, and just the right mix of sweet and sexy. The fit skimmed my body without clinging, which is exactly what I wanted. If you prefer a tighter fit and have similar measurements, I’d recommend sizing down one. The puff sleeves and heart detail made it feel extra special—such a confidence-boosting dress!

I accidentally rented this dress twice for two different weddings—and honestly, I’m so glad I did. The first time I wore an 8, and the second time a 10, and somehow both fit… and both had their quirks. The 10 fit perfectly through the hips and tummy, while the 8 nailed the top/chest fit—so do with that what you will! My only real issue was the top clasp around the neck, which tended to unhook (and in the 10, that meant some major side boob). Still, I’d actually buy this dress if I could—it’s the perfect mix of sexy and classy.

I’m so bummed I didn’t get to wear this one. It’s a gorgeous dress—the sequins are super fun and eye-catching—but it was just way too tight and short on me. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going to work. I felt a bit like a stuffed sausage in it, which was not the vibe I was going for! Still, if it fits you right, it’s a total showstopper.

This dress fit perfectly! I have an hourglass shape, and it hugged my curves in all the right places—sexy but still dainty. I wore it during my wedding weekend for casual drinks with friends, and it felt effortlessly bridal without being over the top. Total confidence booster!

I was so excited to wear these short overalls but was super disappointed. Even after sizing down, they were still huge on me (for reference I'm 5'4" and a size 8 hourglass). They are adorable and the fabric is comfy/soft, but definitely size at least one, if not two, sizes down.

Rented this dress for an engagement party and it was perfect! This dress was super comfortable yes sexy. I'm 5'4 and tend to be between a size 6 to 8 and the 6 was a perfect fit. I wanted more cleavage so I opted for a push up bra but you can totally get away with less padding for a more subtle look. 10/10 would rent again!
