Super cute LBD
I rented this pre-pandemic so admittedly can't remember if it ran TTS, but I think it did. I remember trying the XS and it wouldn't zip, and they didn't have the S available. Wore it to a wedding in NOLA and it was great! Short, but not too short for me

Diva fur shawl for days
Great shawl/cape for a black tie wedding in the cold. I looked like a diva which was the look I was expecting. Was so fun!

Classy black tie wedding dress with a tasteful slit!
Wanted something festive and a little different than my usual for a black tie wedding and found this! I sized down since they didn't have anything else available and was nervous that it wouldn't fit, but it did! It was missing a shoulder pad, which was fine since I didn't want it anyways. It was comfortable and I got a ton of compliments. I felt great in it, but definitely made my upper body look bigger than I am. I think it looks and fits better than it photographs! Highly recommend

Classy, elegant, and flattering!
Got so many compliments on the dress! I wore it to my boyfriend's sister's wedding and I loved it. It was pretty comfortable and forgiving. Sizing is like all the other reviews -- true to size. It was tight in the chest area though, I had a hard time zipping it up myself but still probably wouldn't of sized up. The only con was that it was way long for me. You can see how much it's dragging in the picture. We took pictures at a tennis club so it picked up so much tennis ball lint and dirt. We tried temporarily hemming it with tape, but it wouldn't stick because of the heavy fabric and lining. It was also scalloped so hard to do without a seamstress. For reference, I'm 5'2" and was wearing 5 inch heels. It would've been nice to have it taken up a couple inches.

Super cute, but not the most comfortable
It looked great but was not comfortable. I got a ton of compliments on this! I rented it for a fancy backyard wedding and it worked perfectly. It's true to size and stood out in a sea of dark colors. It doesn't show as much cleavage as it does in this picture (not wearing a bra in this pic from trying it on, not from the event). The cons were that it doesn't have a lot of give in the fabric. By the end of the night the neckline was painful to the point i had to ask my boyfriend to unzip the dress. The mermaid also made it really hard to get in and out of cars. Wouldn't rent it again, but no regrets!

Super warm but also green
Wore this for a charity event and it was great. One big thing to note is that it's greener than it looks in the picture. I had a red dress on so I thought it clashed, but no one else noticed. Lastly, I didn't think it was super flattering but what fur jackets are? Overall, great to rent once but probably won't rent again

Felt like a million bucks! Complete head-turner.
This dress was amazing! I got so many compliments. What I loved the most was the experience. I made a stylist appointment not expecting to pick this dress out, but tried it on just because. It was on the more expensive side, but I was hooked. It was, of course, way too long (as most things are), but in-person they do temporary hemming for me for free and right away, which was fantastic! It worked out so well! Cons: Looking back at the pictures, I'm noticing that it made my stomach stick out. Not ideal. It was also very heavy. The dress was actually quite loose on me though. Wish I got a 4 instead, but it worked out and I loved it. Wish I could wear it again!
