Loved minus the clasp
All the reviews are spot on for this. Great structure, heavier fabric, beautiful color but the darn clasp would undo everytime I’d move. A larger size was not available, so I wore a sexy slip dress underneath so that it didn’t matter if it came undone. So would recommend being prepared to have something underneath just in case.

Late Spring Rehearsal Dinner Dress (for Bride)
Rented this for the rehearsal dinner /welcome party dress May 20th (venue: DC garden rooftop, attire: dressy casual/garden party chic). I wanted something not so in-your- face bridal & unique while still being noticeable as the bride. Like other reviewers, the bottom is booty hugging but in allll the right ways. It was extremely comfy, breathable and didn't notice it riding up at all throughout. I received tons of compliments & highly recommend for a trendy, fun & flirty dress.

Fun & flirty summer daytime dress
As other reviewers said, the front is on the shorter side but, definitely manageable in low heel sandals. The fabric is casual, the ruffles are present but I didn't think they were TOO MUCH (I do love ruffles though!) Great dress for a shower, brunch, or any daytime outing. Got lots of compliments, I didn't want to return it! Would rent again!

Perfect spring formal wedding dress
The reviews were 100% accurate, true to size & so many compliments. Fabric was heavier than I expected but, super breathable & comfortable. Has pockets - bonus! Colors are beautiful & its just a fun dress. Highly recommend renting, I'm sad i have to return it :(

Best rental yet - June charleston wedding
Absolutely loved this dress and received so many compliments! The only negative thing I can say would be the straps were a little stretched out and kept falling down while dancing, not a huge deal though. Other than that, I 1000% recommend this dress!!

Great spring mountain black tie wedding!
The reviews are right, the waist band does not have any give to it. I ended up slightly dampening the inside band with cold water and then put the dress on. Gave it a little stretch and made it much more comfortable. Other than the waist band, was a great dress!!

Perfect black tie winter wedding guest dress!
LOVED this dress!! Based on all the great reviews i decided to give it a shot, best decision ever! Highlights: Simple yet classic LBD Fit in all the right places Great material, perfect for a fall/winter wedding Sexy neckline & slit but still classy and not too revealing You can wear a regular bra Cons: Im 5'4 and had to wear 3" heels for the length to work. Wouldnt reccomend anything higher

Fall Black Tie Wedding Guest - perfect dress!
I absolutly loved this dress! Very elegant yet swxy with the neckline and way it fits your body. The fabric is pretty heavy, so I would reccomend renting only in late fall or winter. Definitely choose a size up for your backup. I usually wear a 2R but, ended up wearing the 4R. You can easily wear 3 1/2-4in heels with this dress if you are 5'4. The only negative I would say is zipping this dress up by yourself is a bit tough. Other than that, it's a showstopper!

Not flattering on
I ordered this as a possible backup dress when my original one was returned late & not able to ship. It was not flattering at all, the waist had extra fabric & made me look huge. Some people can pull it off but I am not of of them, so I ended up not wearing it.

Great Work holiday party dress!
Was actually a backup dress but was amazing! Agree with the other reviews on the shoulders falling down but, nothing a little double sided tape couldnt fix. Great length, fit, fabric, really no complaints at all! Highly reccomend this one!

Perfect fancy outdoor wedding guest dress!
Pros: Great summer bright color Perfect fit - true to size Very comfortable - was able to eat, drink and dance with some wiggle room No bra needed, just sticky bra if anything Can dress it up with pumps or down with wedges Medium weight fabric - great for an late spring/early summer event Cons: I didn't get to keep it!

Perfect fall/winter black tie dress!
This was actually my second pick since the first dress ended up not being available. Definitely would recommend going up a size from your usual. Ended up fitting perfectly and received a lot of compliments on it.
