So pretty and flattering, lots of compliments
I really loved this dress, I would absolutely rent it again (or another from the same designer) if I am invited to another formal wedding. I got a lot of compliments. The fabric of the skirt is a bit heavy which I liked, but it's good for you to be aware of. I LOVED the cut of the top, I liked that it was a higher neckline, and then cut fit me well around the armpits. I was worried about what bra to wear since the back is so see through. I actually ended up wearing a black racerback sports bra and that was fine, you couldn't really tell that it wasn't part of the dress. I'm 5'4" and the hight was exactly floor length with short heels (like 1-2"), if I owned it I probably would have it hemmed an inch, but it was fine as is.

Light and cool, travels well, bit long.
I really really liked this jumpsuit, it fit well and was a very lightweight material. It would travel really well and take up a small amount of space in a suitcase. It was a bit long for me and either dragged or I'd stuff it under my heel in my sandal (I'm 5'4"), I also got unlucky with the cut of the print and one of the yellow splashes was RIGHT on my stomach which really brought the eyes right there, awkward! I will probably keep an eye on it to purchase, if one of the petite lengths pops up.

Thick material, not super flattering fit
This dress was... fine. Loved the bright yellow color, though I ended up using it more as a swimsuit coverup because the fit wasn't super flattering for a night out. It fit right in the chest, but the body was so poofy that it wasn't very flattering on my larger body. The material was cotton, so that was comfortable, but it was really thick and bumpy. The pattern is these raised embroidery-like holes. I'm 5'4", and even on the lowest strap setting (there are 2 or 3 buttons to make them shorter or longer) it kept falling down my arm. I wouldn't rent it again.

Extremely comfortable, not super flattering on a larger stomach
The fabric is really stretchy, so it's very easy to put on and take off (important for bathroom use in a jumpsuit!), was very comfortable and fit well. It has one of the "fake crop tops" I guess is how to describe it, and that wasn't the most flattering to my larger stomach, but overall was still comfortable and cute enough that I'd consider purchasing if it was highly on sale.

Really comfortable, got compliments
I wore it with leggings in early spring, the inside material is a layer of soft jersey which was nice. The sleeves were a little short but overall fine. Pockets were nice, and I got lots of compliments!

Extremely comfortable, size down
This ended up being a 'no' for a formal wedding, but I would totally rent it again for a future event just in a smaller size. I got three formal dresses in size 20, and this one I would definitely have needed to go down a size to fit right. It was a great length for me (5'4", only wear short heels) and really really comfortable material. And pockets!

Really pretty, but for a longer torso
This ended up as a 'no' for a formal wedding, it just didn't fit quite right on my particular body, though I do think it was true to size. The straps were really loose and it was like 3-4 inches too long on me (5'4"). I had the regular length. If you have a long torso or wear high heels this could work really well.

The print is really really fun, fabric a little stiff, runs small
Order a size up, it didn't even zip for me, unfortunately, and 18 is usually fine. The print and cut are really cute though. Fabric a little stiff.
