Beautiful dress for spring or summer wedding
I LOVED the look of this dress. It's a beautiful light blue with pops of gold shimmer. And light and flowy. However, it's VERY booby. The girls are really on show in this dress. Which would have been fine, except I have a short torso, and thus the straps were too long and it just didn't fit right in the top. I wore it anyway because I didn't have another option, and tried to use double sided tape to hold it in place. That didn't work b/c the tape wouldn't stick to the inner fabric. So my movement was very restricted all night. All that said, I did love the look and got a TON of compliments! In fact, the wedding photographer (a woman!) told me that she always picks best dressed, and that night it was me! :)

Fun, flowy summer dress!
I really liked this dress, however the fit was a little odd. It was really tight in the top, across the chest, however quite large from the waist down. Perhaps if I went a size up the top would have fit better, but then I think the bottom would have been way too large. It was flowy and fun to wear!

Cute summer top!
I wore this tucked into a black high-low skirt and it was super cute. That said, I wore it in NYC and it was SUPER humid, and the lining in the shirt made it not so breathable. So not ideal in 90+ degrees and about 80% humidity, but really cute otherwise.

Large enough for a Mac Book.
I used this as my work bag and it was large enough to fit my Mac, a notebook, a small wallet and large water bottle, plus a few other small things. It did get a bit heavy and thus the skinny straps dug into my shoulder quite a bit, which wasn't ideal.

Beautiful color and pattern made for a fun dress!
I loved the look of this dress, but the fit was really awkward. There's a built in "belt" type strap that hooks around the waist, but it was VERY tight, where as the top portion of the dress was really large and frankly too big on me. It just didn't seem proportional at all. It's also REALLY short, and with the various flaps and folds of fabric, and be very revealing if you aren't careful. I ended up using 3 or 4 safety pins to keep everything in place. Also, the fabric is on the heavy side, so if you're going to be outdoors and it's really warm, this might be too heavy for you. All that said, I received a lot of compliments on the dress and I loved the look. Just wish it fit better!

Super cute with white jeans
I got the medium and it was huge. I was swimming in it! That said, it's super cute and totally on trend. Wore it with white jeans and nude mules. So cute!

Wore this for a work meeting in San Fran
This is not a true wrap dress in that it has an elastic waistband with a panel that crosses over the front and ties to the side. Thus, not as flattering on my as I would have liked. Also, the fabric doesn't breath too well, so it wasn't as breezy as I thought it would be. Cute dress, but not a keeper.

I rented this through unlimited for a lightweight spring jacket and I'm obsessed!
Much less structured than a traditional denim jacket so it's a bit more casual, but ideal for spring.

Perfect for formal event!
Loved this dress! It definitely runs true to size, but is great if you're more pear shaped or have a bit bigger hips as this is only fitted to the natural waist. The shimmer/sparkle is subtle--not too loud. The length is great--not too short in front, not too long in back.

PERFECT for a beach wedding!
This dress is very forgiving and extremely flattering. Right now I'm wearing a 6 or 8, but the small was perfect. I also received the MP but it was way too roomy. I got a gazillion compliments at the Mexico beach wedding that I wore this to. It was flowy and airy and the perfect color. I'm 5'4 and wore about 3" wedges and it was still just a tad long in the back--the Petit version probably would have been perfect but it wasn't available.

The perfect accent!
I had actually rented a different clutch, but was contacted that it was returned damaged by the last user so I chose this in it's place. It's a great clutch, held my iPhone 6, ID, credit card, lip liner & lip stick. But that was about it!

I rented this for the Opera and it was perfect!
I feel like this particular gown had been worn a number of times. Could see faint discolorations on the bodice, and the boning poked me a bit. The fabric was heavier than anticipated, but I wore this in January so that was great.
