perfect casual dress for summer
LOVE this dress!! It's very casual and summery. Pockets! Hard to wear with a bra because of the unique strap arrangement, so take that into consideration.

Beautiful golden color
Loved the color on this one, but the style ran big for me so I could not wear it (straps came 1/2 way down my chest, eek!). Would recommend sizing down, and then I think this dress would be a great option for a casual summer event or everyday!

Lightweight, summer-y
Love the fabric on this one, super lightweight and summery. Great subtle blue and white stripped pattern, too. Would recommend going several sizes down, I normally wear an 8 and the size 4 fit, but I believe that an even smaller size would have worked better. If the dress is a bit too big like mine was, I'd recommend tying the straps into a bow in the front to hide any loose material!

sparkly sexy fun dress!
Get this dress! Perfect for a fun, and somewhat frivolous event :) The sequin pattern is nice too. Not itchy!

Pretty fabric and color, but pattern might give some issues!
Ended up not wearing this rental after receiving the comment that it appeared as if I was naked underneath a holey - crocheted item (albeit a pretty one!)! Although I loved the pattern and color, and that a close inspection would show that there is a nice, thick liner underneath the yellow fabric ... well, I just couldn't make this dress work for my event. If you suspect your skin tone might be a little too close to the liner color, you might want to consider a different color/dress.

Love the color, comfortable, professional!
This dress has a very nice deep green color, and looks very professional. I would say it skews towards the "professional" rather than "fun" side of the spectrum. Very comfortable dress, stretchy material means that you might want to go a size down for your backup (or have a belt on hand!).

pretty dress for a fun occasion
I rented this dress as a bridesmaid, and beware the cutouts are a bit more intense than you might originally expect! I decided it was too much skin for a bridesmaid and wore the backup style, but it would probably be fine to wear as a wedding guest at a less formal event (either wedding or otherwise). I'd recommend sizing up for the backup size.

It's a very comfortable dress and the gold threading is awesome!
Sleeves are on the smaller side, but not uncomfortably so. I wore it to a desert wedding, the long sleeves were key in staying warmer at night, but the dress was airy enough to be quite comfortable during the day too! A gold necklace might be nice to wear with this dress.

Elegant and fun dress
I rented this dress for an outdoor summer wedding - could not have been a better choice! I ended up getting a backup size larger than I normally would have due to previous reviews about the neck being tight - I actually didn't find that to be a problem. I'd recommend getting the sizes you normally would choose (but if you're on the fence, go larger).

Sexy Dress!
This dress is great - back is unique (still works with a strapless bra) and the dress is comfortable for a full night of dancing. Runs ...basically... true to size. I wore the M with spanx as the bust of the L was way too big for me (even with a significant bra). Still, I'd totally rent this dress again!

This dress is pretty amazing! It is really comfortable and flattering. Takes great pictures (especially at night) and fits true to size.

What a great way to get to wear a fun dress! Loved renting this piece, and it fit great!
I found the dress ran a little larger than normal (usually I a size 6 is too small in my hips/thighs, especially sheath dresses!) but this one worked great. As a bonus, I found the dress surprisingly easy to dance and move around in - was not constricting at all! Style is very flattering, lace details are pretty, and color is great! I ended up not wearing a bra with this dress (a converter bringing a strapless bra closure down lower was not quite right, and straps show through the lace) but the material weight and silhouette of dress was fortunately conducive to this!

Definitely a striking piece
However, the triangles are very light weight and kept getting a bit tangled up in a dress with lace on top while moving about. Would recommend for a lower cut dress where the necklace won't lay on fabric.
