Fun Birthday Dress!
Wore this to a bday dinner with my husband. Long sleeves were perfect for the chilly weather and short-ish length (I'm 5'8) provided the right amount of sass!

Cute, easy dress
This dress was cute and I loved the colors! However, I rented this to wear to work and at 5'8, it was too short to be appropriate for my office even with flats. I might rent again in the fall to wear with booties in a more casual environment.

Easy work dress
I loved this for work and wore it multiple times. Beautiful colors and it does not wrinkle! It felt a little matronly when I first tried it on, but after adding a wedge heel and cuffing the sleeves it was perfect.

Fun formal dress!
I wore this dress to a springtime black tie wedding and loved it. It looks formal but fun and was extremely comfortable. I'm 5'8 150lbs and got the 6L, it was perfect with my 4 inch heels!

Fun neutral wrap dress!
I rented this dress in both a small and a medium and honestly could have worn either. I went with the small because it fit me a little better on top. The dress was comfy and flattering! My only complaint was that both sizes I received were missing a button on one of the sleeves

Beautiful but Heavy!
This dress is GORGEOUS but I ended up going with another pick because it is pretty heavy and felt a little constricting- not what you want for an outdoor wedding in Texas. I'm 5'8 and was concerned about it being too short, but I found the dress to be a appropriate length even with heels.

Wanted to love it!
I wanted to love this dress, but sadly the fit wasn't right. I'm usually between a 6 and an 8, ordered this in an 8, and while it fit perfectly in the hips, it was far too big in the bust and shoulders (I am small chested). I LOVED the sheer detailing and stretchy fit, and wanted it to work so badly!

OK Dress for a Wedding
This dress was pretty, flattering, and appropriate for a wedding, but it wasn't anything special or memorable. The color is beautiful though!

Beautiful, but odd fit
I sized down in this dress from my usual medium to a small. It fit really well in the top, but was just a little too tight in the hips. If I had gone up a size, the top would have been way too big, so this sadly wasn't a keeper for me.

Little White Dress
I was looking for a potential dress for my bridal shower, but this one sadly missed the mark. It fit true to size but the sleeves were comically large which made the whole look unflattering.

Beautiful, but too short
I rented this as a potential dress for an outdoor wedding. Although the dress was beautiful, it was faaar too short to be appropriate, so I ended up going with a different option.

Fun dress for outdoor garden wedding!
I loved this dress- super flattering and forgiving, and so fun to twirl in! The open back was my favorite part. Fit true to size and was comfortable to dance in all night.
