Phillip Lim for the Win!!

What an adorable, super flattering dress!! It was the color that grabbed me, but the fit and flirty nature of the cap sleeves and side ties won me over. Rent this dress!!

Camera-Ready in Coral

This structured coral sheath dress is a standout — vibrant yet refined, with soft pleating at the shoulders and a waist-defining side tie that flatters effortlessly. The warm coral tone glows beautifully on camera, making it the perfect choice for the recent podcast filming. It strikes the right balance between professional and polished, allowing your presence—not just your outfit—to take center stage. Paired with neutral heels and minimal gold accessories, the full look radiates confidence and charm in every frame.

Just the right dress for everyday or for an event

I wore this to a daytime fundraiser/gala. The temperature was 98°F, and it was sunny, but I didn't feel too hot despite the thickness of the material. The material stretches, the dress has good shape, and the small details are a nice change from "just a dress."

Unique style, which I was unsure about at first. I ended up LOVING this dress on me. Slightly short (I’m 5’7”) but I didn’t mind. Got so many compliments.

Perfect, perfect, perfect, 100%

Loved the sleeves and the stretchy fabric. It’s thick so it doesn’t look like athleisure but it feels just as comfy. Easy to style for date night (heels) or casual stroll (sneakers/flats). Amazing color!

This is a repeat rent for me!

I’ve rented this gem a couple times now. I always get so many compliments on its gorgeous color and fit! The little ties at the side are a cute touch. I think it’s the right amount of fitted.

Loved it!!!

At first try on I was unsure if I liked it. The sleeves were very puffy. After a light steam it was perfect! (In the pic I had been sitting for a few hours hence the wrinkles) Wore to two different work events. Super comfortable fit and fabric. Felt very chic

If red is your color, rent this dress!

Loved this dress. I would’ve bought it but was a little more than I typically spend on clothes. It was so professional looking and the details of the sleeves and side belts was the perfect accent to make the dress unique. Would rent again!

If I could buy this I would!!

If I could buy this dress (it’s too expensive), I would in a heartbeat. It’s AMAZING. Definitely in my top 5 items ive ever rented. The material is stretchy and flattering. It’s the perfect length and looks very professional. I got so many compliments.

Beautiful and super flattering! Great for hour glass figures.

I am 5’6” 133 lbs and I went with the medium just to make sure it wouldn’t be too tight bc I wore it to a work event. The medium was perfect. I have an hour glass figure (aka big booty) with a flatter stomach. It was a little tight through the midsection. Might be hard to wear if you carry weight in your stomach.

Nice dress. I got compliments. The color is kind of an orange/red mix instead of solid red.

It's definitely a unique style that stands out because of the details on the sleeves and the ties on either side of the waist.

Nice but not obsessed

It is a lovely dress, very easy to wear and comfortable. The color is more orange than red, but still pretty. The fabric has a nice weight. I did not like the sleeves, but this is a minor detail. Overall, I would recommend it but did not felt for it.

Size up

Very glad I sized up to Medium. This is a comfortable fabric. It's pretty light and slightly clingy (shapewear helps). I'm not 100% sold on the design of this dress, but it was a decent work dress and works well for petites.
