Needs a slip
Beautiful dress, very form fitting, but pretty see-thru. Had to wear with a slip but was very comfortable and got tons of compliments

Tie-Dye Knit Maxi Dress
Maje
Size Worn: 38
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 36C
Perfect maternity dress
Fit true to "normal" size (pre-pregnancy) ample room at bust and plenty of room for growing baby bump. Material was super soft and comfortable while still looking classy enough for a nice dinner out. The sleeves aren't actually sleeves so it was quite comfortable on an 85 degree evening. Would rent again - good for 1st/2nd/3rd trimester.

Floral Caftan Maternity Dress

Perfect summer dress
Love this designer- interesting stretchy mesh-like fabric w/ vibrant colors, beautiful print. So light and comfortable. Surprising room at bust (38DDD) due to ruching/stretchy fabric. Fit nicely over my 6 month pregnant belly but definitely will rent again postpartum as drape of fabric is super forgiving. Length was good for me at 5'11" w/ wedges even- might be a little long on shorter gals.

Tropical Printed Maxi

Bust: 38DDD/E
Perfect summer red
Tons of compliments- super flattering even after a huge meal. Loved the combo of flounce and structure. Nice, thick-yet-stretchy material. Despite being tight in the bust (36DD) didn't pancake the girls or make them look oddly shaped like a lot of tops do w/ bigger cup sizes. Gorgeous true red. Considering buying.

Cute and comfy!
Light and airy, perfect for summer. Length was as expected (I'm 5'11" for reference). Back is open so I wore a sticky bra and was super comfortable. Got tons of compliments and felt fantastic.

Mustard Tie Romper

Gorgeous dress!
Don't even know where to start w/ this one! So many compliments and such beautiful fabric/pattern! Fit a wee bit tight in the ribs but this is normal for me in structured dresses- the waist down being nice and flowy helped. Beyond that it was super comfortable and easy to wear. The length was perfect w/ 3" heels (I'm 5'11" so that's rare even w/ extra length). And the bust was doable w/ DD's and a sticky bra. The feel of the material and the way it flowed was gorgeous- highly recommend!

Floral Grommet Maxi
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 10L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 180lbs
Bust: 36DD
Super comfy, hides flaws and lots of compliments
True to size and the length was perfect on my 5'11" frame. The ruching hid my imperfections well and the material was super soft and pretty breathable despite its weight. Definitely a quality garment perfect for every day. Pattern is super unique so it's a nice alternative and pairs well w/ flips or tennies.

Thin and tiny
Dress ran pretty small- like I could get it on but couldn't sit or breathe and it did very unattractive things to my boobs. Not lined and thinner fabric than I would have expected. Showed every nook and cranny and shapewear wasn't an option. I'd have given more stars if it had any real structure but sadly this wasn't the case. Color was gorgeous though so if you love the color pink, you're tall and very thin- go for it. Otherwise probably pass on this one.

Lolita Dress
LIKELY
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 180lbs
Bust: 36DD
Fun and flirty
True to size- sleeves a little short but I'm 5'11" w/ the long extremities to show for it, so no sleeve or pant leg is ever really long enough. Liked that it could be a tad more or less conservative w/ the button at the bust- I wore unbuttoned for date night w/ the hubbs- felt with the long sleeves this wasn't over the top but to each her own. Length of the shorts was great - though I suppose that might mean too long for a woman of normal height. I found the fit to be super flattering as its cinched at the waist and liked that it had pockets.

Quinto Combo Romper

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"

Bust: 36DD
Perfect spring/summer piece
Loved everything about this piece- flattering, comfy, just enough stretch and kept its form- a little sexy but not overtly so- might not be the case for smaller bust- I'm 36/8DD. Nice, thick-enough fabric to hide flaws but not so thick that it will make you sweat to death & didn't wrinkle. I might not recommend for shorter gals- for me at 5'11" this hit at just the right length but might look awkward on someone with shorter legs. Wore w/ a sticky bra but could have gone strapless or even bra-less (if that's your thing, my bra-less days are long gone). I'm likely to rent this again; just too cute not to!

Stretchy Tech Jumpsuit

Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10

Bust: 36DD
Stunning AND comfy
Fabric is gorgeous and clearly high quality with vibrant colors and beautiful movement. Dress is designed in such a way as to allow this movement, so is very loose fitting but true to size. Could have gone a size or two down but that defeats the purpose of the design. I'm quite tall 5'11", and the length w/ 4" wedges was perfect. If you're looking for something short or form fitting- this is not the dress. If you want something that will make you look and feel like a million bucks, yet comfortable at the same time- then rent this immediately!

Purple Print Halter Maxi
KAUFMANFRANCO
Size Worn: LL
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 180lbs
Bust: 36DD
Beautiful, vibrant print. Quality fabric.
First, all the reviews complaining of oddly long straps are spot on. At nearly 6' tall with a large frame and busty, I have never, ever had this problem in my life; so be warned. I have no idea why the designer wouldn't make them adjustable. As for quality otherwise, this top is perfection. The fabric is sturdy without being stiff and it's well constructed, colors are gorgeous, print is bold but not obnoxious. A last note on the overall fit-If you are busty and self conscious, this is probably not for you.

Gorgeous color, nice material
Wore this for date night with the hubby and got tons of compliments. The color is rich and vibrant and the material feels great on your skin. The front panel was great for hiding midsection flaws and despite the straps thin appearance I found the top offered a decent amount of support. I'm 36/38DD and chose to wear a sticky bra for a smoother appearance but a regular strapless could be worn too. The only potential drawback I could see is for shorter wearers; I'm 5'11" (shorter torso, longer legs) and this fell below the knee for me.

Pink Domino Dress

Excellent quality/vibrant color
Rented this for our Easter party and despite receiving multiple compliments I found that it wasn't very flattering (on me) in photos. Per usual, this brand did not disappoint in the areas of quality, construction and design and the scuba material does a great job of hiding ones flaws. Also, per usual for this brand- no zippers so you MUST STEP INTO THE DRESS AND PULL IT UP. Zero chance -unless you're a contortionist- anyone could get this on pulling it over their head. For reference I'm 5'11", 175, 36/38DD.

True to size. Super thick/forgiving material- no bra or shapewear needed!

Red elegance!
The lace detail on this dress is what really sets it apart. Great length for a semi formal affair, neckline likewise not too revealing while still sexy. Slightly tight in the bust (38DD) but no need for a bra which is always nice. Very flattering fit. Not wearing spanx in the photo, though I did for the event just for my added peace of mind. Really beautiful dress- will rent this one again!

Perfect for family Thanksgiving
Adorable dress, very comfortable, thick material. Appropriate length for family dinner w/out tights (I'm 5'11" w/ long legs) also ample room in the bust (38DD) not super stretchy if that's what you're looking for, but skirt is on the flowy side- so good for Thanksgiving dinner. Would rent again for similar event or for every day @ work in the fall/winter.

Perfect bridal shower pink!
Reading the reviews I was super anxious about fitting into this dress as I'm on the heavier side of a 16 but it was just so adorable I had to take the chance and I'm so glad I did. I received nonstop compliments and felt fabulous! I have to agree with other reviews, the cut of the bust is unusual, I should have forgone a bra and would have avoided the somewhat smushed look I saw in some pictures. I didn't feel smushed however, which leads me to believe it really is just the way the bust is cut. I was able to wear a normal bra which again I didn't need but was nice, there are snaps in the dress to keep your bra straps hidden. Nice feature. The zipper on this dress is pretty- yet industrial strength which is nice considering the fabric is pretty thick. The front did wrinkle a bit as you can see after all day sitting/standing/sitting/standing doing bridal shower things but I don't think lost its luster; the dress flairs out like that on its own by the way. For reference I'm 5'11", very long legs, short torso, hourglass figure, full 38DD/DDD bust w/ more weight in the tummy, less in the bum and pretty broad shoulders.

Cameo Pink Bow Dress

Lovely on the hanger. Underwhelming on.
I'm not normally the type to leave anything but positive reviews, and this isn't necessarily negative- however I feel I must share so others aren't as let down as I was. The dress itself, in appearance (on the hanger and model) and in construction is lovely. The sequins are flashy and well done and the garment is very well constructed and feels very comfortable on. I believe the issue is more with the fit when it comes to certain body types or sizes. It just isn't very flattering. I ordered the 16 and 18 but didn't even try on the 18 as the 16 "fit". For reference I'm 5'11", hourglass shape, very long legs with a very short torso, broad shoulders and full 38DD/DDD bust. I carry some extra weight in the middle and very little in my bum. I thought the draping feature in the front of the dress would be complimentary, however this did the opposite. The dress also made my hips look much larger than necessary and didn't compliment my waist. It was a bit loose in the bust, which is highly unusual given my size. I really wanted to love this dress but just an overall disappointment. Clearly not meant for my shape.

Prefect bridal shower piece.
Rented necklace and matching earrings for my bridal shower and got tons of compliments. The necklace laid flat the entire time which typically is an issue with pieces like these and the earrings actually were the hook type- not stud backs which made them extremely comfortable and they were much lighter than I'd imagined. Absolutely perfect for the occasion! Loved them!

Great fit. Not for me.
I rented this dress in both 16 and 18 as a backup for my late October bridal shower in Michigan. I wanted something white, as my wedding dress actually will not be, so this would be a good opportunity for my mom to see me in white for once, and thought something with a higher neckline and long sleeves would be weather appropriate. Keeping these things in mind- I neither care for the color white, long sleeves (as I'm always hot) or this style of dress (I prefer a lower neckline)- this dress was actually perfectly adorable. I actually would have worn it too had the other dress I ordered not worked out better. I'm 5'11" with an hourglass figure and full 38DD/DDD bust. I have very long legs so the dress looked a little shorter on me than the model but not inappropriate, actually kinda cute. The sleeves were shockingly long enough (never happens) and the frilly feature in the front looks exactly like in the picture- also keep in mind the lace in front has no backing so is intentionally see- through (which I thought was cute but I'm not huge on modesty). Only other item of note- you MUST wear nude undergarments with this dress. Maybe a white bra to blend in with the dress b/c the cutout feature. It isn't clingy and I found it to be forgiving in the tummy area but due to the lace any other color could be seen. Hope this helps!
