Flattering elevated dress
I've worn this twice! It's forgiving and can look fancy or be dressed down with boots and a sweater. I'm between a 4 & 6 and rented the 6. I wore it without a bra and used fashion tape to keep shoulder straps up.

I was hoping this dress would be a bit more flattering but I don’t have a flat belly and this made me look pregnant. The arms are a bit long as well. It was hard to get on but when I put everything where it went - shoulder and chest etc it was pretty great. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable in this dress though. It’ll look amazing on someone else! Likely for shorter gals bc I’m 5’3 and definitely was short on me.

Perfect, versatile winter dress
Peter Som does it again. It’s so well made and flattering. If you’ve read my recent reviews you’d know that versatility is an important quality for me in a piece and I have been able to wear this to work, to an upscale party and to other more casual social events. Very witchy vibes as well which are a plus ofc

Long sleeved springtime dress
I love a dress that can be dressed up or down, and is also comfortable enough to wear errands in. The chest and back is shirred so there is room and it’s an empire waist so it’s comfortable and flattering. The chiffon material makes it dressier than an every day dress. I paired this with flats and a short jacket for a photoshoot in the park in the spring when it’s still too cold for shorter sleeves. I ended up buying this dress because of how versatile it is.

Compliments all night!
This dress is comfortable, forgiving and photographs well! I found the material a bit thick and the quality of the tailoring in the shoulders I found indelicate. But the pattern is beautiful. It’s dressier than you’d think.

Glowing head turner
Wore this for a concert and tried on both the 4 and the 6. 4 was true to size though the waist was a little bigger. My waist is a little bigger than on top and it fit well and was forgiving and flattering. interestingly enough the 6 fit similarly in the waist, though larger in the chest. Length wise I was fine with 4 inch platform heels at 5'3. Dress was new with rates when I rented. In the pictures the wardrobe dept for the shoe I was performing in made a gold belt and put a petticoat under it for a regency era fuller look on the bottom.

Like other folks have said, the chest fits a little weird but I'm small chested and while it felt loose, it looked fine. Lots of compliments. It's a striking dress for a slightly upscale situation.

Sweet, flattering unique dress
I was down to this dress because of the structure and the colors. It’s very flattering and you’ll feel fantastic in this dress. Runs true to size, I wore a size 4 and a bit bigger around the middle than most size 4’s. It was comfortable. I’m small busted and I didn’t need to wear a bra. Paired with gold shoes like I saw many in the reviews and it was perfect.

Just not for my body type. I’m apple shaped and this accentuated that. I would have loved to wear this though! It’s navy and gold. Doesn’t wrinkle. Light and beautiful. On a different body type than me.

Wore this for everyday wear in the summer. Casual but elevated. Super comfortable. No zipper which can make getting in the dress tricky. Just the right amount of movement in the dress. Light and colorful. Highly recommend this dress!

I didn’t end up wearing this choice but would love to find a place for it. It was flattering on me as I have a belly, this didn’t make me feel like I needed to suck in. This dress had me feeling myself clearly from my pic and will for you too. Rent it!

The high slit makes it a bit racier than you’d expect for a linen day dress. Waist is in the tight side. Otherwise this is a gorgeous dress. I still haven’t found a place to where it after buying it.

This dress made me feel amazing!
I needed a dress that was formal without being stuffy, and that let me feel pulled together while feeling comfortable. This was IT. Didn’t want to send it back. You do feel like royalty, maybe a little bit Disney, maybe a little bit Bridgerton, but it definitely feels modern and elegant without being too saccharine. It is Flattering first of all, lightweight, doesn’t wrinkle. Now: you likely will need pasties bc you can’t really wear a bra. I was going to wear a strapless undone- the back is corseted and open. It’s lovely but you can’t wear a bra. The material in front is a little sheer, heads-up. I did not mind this for my specific event, but I might have if it were a family event. Rent it. It’s stunning. Not too itchy. Boning in the dress is slightly uncomfortable but wasn’t too bad.

I wanted to love this dress more and the colors are beautiful but the sizing and the material weighed this dress down and made me feel dare I say it matronly. Would like to see if a smaller size would change the vibe. Didn’t feel hip or fresh, felt dated and heavy somehow.

Wore this on vacation in NOLA and it was perfect. Elevated, cool, a little flamboyant and very photogenic. Pockets. Felt like a queen in this dress. Chest is a little large and it overall ran large but I didn’t mind.

Trying it on and looking in the mirror I loved this dress. It’s well- made and the pink details are lovely. Size up though- I felt puffy in this dress, wasn’t flattering in other pictures I saw.

Gorgeous dress, better for tall gals
Wore this for a photoshoot. The back lace up was cool, you should wear it without a bra, the front is covered enough that it worked without a bra. I’m small on top though so larger chested folks might have a harder time. I work 5+ inch heels to make this dress work and I’m 5’3”. Otherwise I’d highly recommended, it’s beautiful in person.

Incredibly flattering and stands out in pictures. Didn’t have to wear a bra. Did need ironing bc it wrinkles easily. Cool cotton material, the skirt and top are lined. I’m small on top, bigger busted ladies might have issues with the top. Dress true to size.

Red lace knockout
Wore this for a semi formal dinner and it felt crisp, tailored, striking, sophisticated and attractive without being overtly sexy. The lace and material is thick and well made. The waist is a little tight if you’re between a 2 & a 4 like me, and you like to eat a lot at these functions.

Beautifully made, looks rich
I wore this to a dinner for my husband’s work and needed something that was grown up, upscale, attractive without being flamboyant and this dress fit the bill. Gorgeously cut without being overtly sexy. I’m between a 2 and a 4 and the 4 fit well. One less star because the top felt too blousy when I was sitting. I loved the sleeves, they gave just enough of a flair without tipping over into flamboyant.

A perfect, knockout dress
I wore this for the opening night of a show. It was perfect for the red carpet. Yes the slit was high. But something about this fit was right in my body shape because it felt very comfortable and the slit didn't open much unless I was sitting. I didn't need a bra for this but am small chested. The material is satin-y and the print is stunning. In love with this dress!

This dress is perfect for those hot summer days you can't handle clothing. It is so lightweight. It doesn't photograph well, but the sleeves and neckline are cut well so it's flattering even though it's a mumu. I loved the color and fabric.

Long, flowy, fabulous romper
I wore this for work and for a concert when it was extremely hot out. It's a rare piece that can be worn for a semi formal event as well as an everyday casual situation. For this, this outfit stays a favorite. I'm 5'3 and it's a bit long, in flats it grazes the ground. It's not constructive anywhere and I could have sized down.

Structured jumpsuit
The pros are that it's well-constructed, has pockets and the top can be unbuttoned to wear in different and interesting ways. One renter suggested open lapels which does look cool. The cons for me are that it's extremely short waisted and it's not super flattering on a pear shaped person and can accentuate a pooch, which I have. The color is great though. A mix between mustard and marigold.

Great updated retro denim to add to your wardrobe. I wasn't sure about this trend till I tried these and they made me feel effortlessly hip on a Saturday night in Nolita. These look great with cropped white boots. I am currently between size 2 & 4, and these fit on the large size. I'm 5'3" and these are just about the right size, would look great on taller people. The tie is hard to make attractive though. Material is thick. I love these pants and would buy them if they weren't so expensive.
