The length worked perfectly on my tall figure!
Beautiful dress, perfect for a summer wedding. The fabric is breathable, and the color is stunning in person. I’m 5’11’’ and the long was perfect, it hit just above the floor so it wasn’t dragging around all night especially when I took my shoes off. You definitely need shapewear. I found that this dress was not the most forgiving, and showed lots of lumps and bumps, but the Spanx helped. While I loved wearing it the night of and got many compliments, this dress really did not photograph well. I had several people telling me that the dress looked much better in person. Not a huge deal, as I still loved wearing it, but if you plan on taking lots of professional photos for a wedding or other formal event, just keep that in mind.

Perfect transition from work to party!
Super comfortable and perfect length for tall ladies! I rented this for my birthday dinner, but since I had work I needed something that was work appropriate but still fun for a night out. This dress fit the bill! The fabric is thick, but breathable. I had a lot of fun in the dress and got several compliments from coworkers and friends alike. Recommend!

Striped Avery Dress
Hutch
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 11"

Bust: 36C
Comfortable, classy and no fuss
Tall girls, this romper is for you! Perfect fit for my 5'11'' frame, it was not too short at all! The material is light but thick enough that I didn't need a bra. The gold zipper is beautiful, and paired nicely with gold earrings and gold clutch. Super easy to wear. I would say it's true to size, I'm between an 8 and a 10, the 10 fit well but I definitely had some room. If your small chested or have slender hips you may want to size down. Very happy with this one, will definitely be renting again.

Classic with a twist!
I have a very broad back, but a small chest, so it's hard to find a dress that I can fill out. I didn't have this problem with this dress! There is a great shelf bra so I didn't need to wear a bra. The fabric has zero stretch, so if you are into fitted dresses this is not for you It wasn't the most comfortable dress, but I loved how it looked on my tall figure. It was very flattering in the waist and I had several people telling me how trim I looked (when I haven't lost any weight lol). The detailing with the front pleats is beautiful. I'll definitely rent again

Striped Strapless Cocktail Dress

The color is unreal!
Beautiful dress, I'm devastated I didn't get a picture but it was for a work Gala and I just didn't get to it! The dress is quite fitted but the material has stretch so it is also very comfortable. I have hips and a broad back and usually have to go up a size with this kind of style, but the 10 fit like a glove. In a sea of black and silver dresses this stood out. I felt like Carrie Bradshaw! Definitely renting against.

Felt like I was straight out of Gatsby!
I wore this to a New Years Eve party in NYC. Definitely runs large, but given my height I ended up wearing the larger size because the 8 was a tad too short for a night of dancing. The dress is beyond comfortable, the straps stay in place, there is not irritation from the sequins which is rare for a sequined dress, and it is extremely flattering. I received endless compliments. I'll definitely rent it again!

Chained to You Dress

Comfortable, classy, and sexy
I'm definitely renting this again! I was super hesitant because I don't normally wear dresses with cutouts, but it's very small. The fabric has stretch so it is very comfortable, but it's also thick enough that it was very forgiving. I didn't need spanx or a bra. The color is beautiful and vibrant. Overall, so pleased with this dress. I felt like a million bucks in it!

Avoid if you have a long torso!
I was so sad not to wear this, it really is a beautiful dress. I'm very tall and have a long torso, and the waistline on this fell right below my bustline. As such it was not flattering at all. It certainly fit, but made me look about 20 pounds heavier than I am. Regardless of height, if you have a long torso I would not rent this dress.

I felt like a million bucks in this dress
I rented this for a New Years wedding. The fit is beautiful, and the cut of the dress is incredibly flattering. Also, the material is thick so it felt very forgiving. No need to wear Spanx. Also enough support that I didn't need a bra (but that may be a different story if you are well-endowed...I am not). The only con is the zipper. It's impossible. I needed three people to help me zipper the dress. Didn't take away from how much I loved the dress though! Would definitely rent again.

Not a good dress for tall ladies!
I rented this for a summer work event, and unfortunately I didn't get to wear it. The dress is beautiful, but at 5'11'', it looked like more of a Vegas dress than one for a work function. If I was shorter it would have been perfect. The fit was great everywhere else, I'm usually an 8 but have a broad back so with the sleeves, the 10 was better. Unfortunately it was just way, way to short.

Beautiful color with a classic silhouette
I rented this for a work Gala that i was planning. I read the reviews which said that the sleeves have no give, so ended ordering up a size and was glad I did. My normal size (10) fit like a glove, but since I needed to be running around and moving a lot o opted for the 12. The arms have ZERO stretch but the bodice has a little give. The fabric is beautiful!

Really cute, fun dress
I was really happy with this! I wore it to a broadway opening night party, and wanted something fun to match the show. I normally go between 8 and 10 and had to go with 10 because the waist is tiny, but the dress was very comfortable. I think the best part about this dress is that it's quirky and cute but still appropriate to wear to a work-related function. The only con for me was the color. It is much more beige/taupe in person, and as someone with very fair skin, it looked a little awkward under certain lighting. Other than that, I recommend this dress to rent. Really great quality and all around fun to wear.

This dress was unbelievably comfortable and simply elegant.
I wore this dress to the Tony Awards this past June and couldn't have been happier! It's extremely comfortable and the details are gorgeous. Also, it gives the appearance of being strapless but has mesh shoulders so I wasn't pulling the dress up all night. It is definitely true to size. I always go a size up because of my height but I shouldn't have for this dress. I ordered a 10 when I normally do an 8 and I had plenty of room. I think the 8 would have been more fitted and flattering, but I still loved it. The only con for me was the length. I am 5'11" and was wearing 4 inch heals and the dress was still scraping the floor so I was holding up awhile. I ordered to 10L because usually dresses hit me at ankle length, but for all you tall girls out there, the regular length will be fine! Despite my length issue, I still loved the dress and was so sad to send it back! I got many compliments, including some from celebrities! It made me feel like the star of the show and I'm so glad I rented it. I highly recommend!!
