Dinner date dress

Nice fabric. I thought it was a little baggy but putting a belt on it made it look better. Wore white wedge shoes with it. 4R fit nicely and I’m 5’5 and 130lb in this picture for your reference.

Amazing quality!

I love Phillip Lim & Oh I love this dress! it is so feminine and the detailing is beautiful. It is fully lined and the back is just as beautiful as the front. Looks good with Birkenstocks and you could also dress it up. Very comfortable and has a nice flow when walking.

More formal than expected

Fabric has a satin feel and moves nicely as you walk. Tons of compliments. Wore to an anniversary dinner and with high heels and to work with lower platform sandals.

Fabulous dress

Am currently 35wks preggo and still working. It's getting much harder to find suitable pieces. However, this dress by far has been my fav to wear. Comfortable, chic, light and the perfect length.

Elegant and so comfortable

The dress is a really silky material and has a short liner underneath. The ruffle at the bottom and the cool hem were my favorite parts. I wore this to dinner, parties, cooking dinner... whatever. The best compliment I received was, "You look so elegant... and comfortable."

Easy and comfortable

High quality fabric, easy fit. Great dress to throw on when you want to still look put together but don't want to put in a lot of effort either. Flowy fit is great for summer but the fabric is a bit on the thicker side so maybe not great for those super hot and humid days. Overall good rental but not necessarily my favorite. Bonus, it has pockets.

N/A

I wore this out to my birthday dinner at 20 weeks pregnant. It's flowy with plenty of room for the belly, a comfy, silky fabric, and cool pattern. It lets you look put together while feeling like you're wearing a giant nightgown.

Comfortable and easy to wear

This dress is comfortable and the fabric is dressier than I expected. I wore it to dinner out and paired it with a denim jacket to give it a bit more shape. I also plan to wear it to work before I return it. I would possibly rent this again.

Great fabric

I loved the fabric of this dress it was perfect for a party in the mountains with cowboy boots but would also work well with sandals or heels. It was slightly tight in the bust but I'm not sure that sizing up would have been the right fit. I loved having the pockets. I'd rent again, very easy to wear.

Fancy

I rented this to wear at a 4th of July BBQ. I thought it was cotton, but it's a shiny silky looking material and looks very fancy and not the look I was going for, but it's my fault for not reading the notes and reviews. So I didn't wear it to the party, but I wore it at home and it was super comfy and has pockets. A little long for me, but it was great to play badminton in lol!

Beautiful but too big & fancy

Lovely dress with details that are more beautiful IRL than in the photo. Even though it's intended to have a flowy, loose fit, it seemed one or even two sizes too big. Also, the fabric, while beautiful, was too fancy and heavy for daytime wear in my extremely hot mid-summer climate so I took advantage of my free fit do-over and sent it back without wearing.

Cute dress, but fit is off

This dress is really pretty, but the chest area is very tight, whereas the rest of the dress seems oversized. It has pockets, which is great! I wore it with a jean jacket and it looked a little cuter.

Strangely small armpit holes

I don't usually have an issue with arm holes, but after wearing this dress for 4 hours-church and errands, I was rather looking forward to getting out of this dress. It's got a slip underneath which is always nice and the dress itself is well made and heavy fabric. I like the different lengths and silky feel. It's large everywhere except arm holes.

A fun, unique dress

I rented this dress for a black and white themed event and it was a perfect fit. It is definitely a warmer weather dress but easily adaptable to colder weather - and the material is quite thick. I opted for a belt as the dress is pretty shapeless.

This was a very flattering dress especially if you’re going to spend time sitting at a desk. Has pockets (always a win) and you don’t need help putting it on.

Tight

I’m typically a size 6, but ended up going with my backup size 8. This size was extremely tight and uncomfortable in the top area. I have a flat chest so I thought the overall dress would be a good fit since my normal size wasn’t, but I was wrong.

Elevated Sundress

This is a silky dress so to me it gives it a dressier feel. I wore it to church and out on errands. The bottom is heavier and hangs nicely. The back is slightly longer than the front. I really like this and would rent it again.

Nice dress

Liked this dress a lot. Well made and fabric has some structure. I rented it in the heat of summer and didn’t realize it would be a little too heavy for late July in Brooklyn. Will rent again when the weather cools down.

Bit tight in the bust / shoulders, but the rest of the dress is super flowy. Heavy material, which makes it feel more luxury than expected

Love this dress- I ended up purchasing it. Great quality, pretty pin tucked fabric, the dress has pockets too- bonus! Looks great dressed up with sandals and jewelry or dressed down with sneakers and a denim jacket.

Perfection

I loved this dress so much. I wanted to wear it every day. It has pockets and is lined - very nice quality. I wore it on vacation, to work, running errands in the city on an extremely hot day, and everywhere else. I probably could’ve gotten one size smaller, but I think an 8 or a 10 would’ve been equally fine.

so comfortable, casual but upclose you could tell how it wasn't as casual. It's not form fitting.

This dress was so comfortable. It looked casual and felt it but at the same time with the sheen and detail of the fabric you know it's not just a casual dress. Could be dressed up or down. it's obviously not form fitting so if you're okay with a looser type of dress this is great. It also has pockets!
