So Bridgerton

10/10 recommend! I wore this dress to a Bridgerton themed symphony night. Very on brand and fit great. I was able to wear kitten heels with it and has no issues!

Yeah, get it

Such an easy stunner of a dress! Felt like a fairy princess. It was super comfortable and flattering. Had pockets!!!! Very easy to travel as it doesn’t wrinkle. I was obsessed with it when I first saw it and finally got a chance to wear it to a “festive” themed wedding but it could really for any occasion. Deff get this dress if you’re thinking about it!!

This spring dress is like a big babydoll. So fun!

This dress is meant for tallish gals. It's really unique and different than the norm midi dress. Such pretty pastel colors. Could be worn to party, bridal event, etc. IG @bethielife

So beautiful!

I was worried because the largest size available is a US 12 but I usually wear a 14 - however with the open back and the long bow, the fit wasn't an issue at all! For fellow largest chested people - The chest piece is for sure too short to actually hold bigger boobs but it didn't really bother me. I love the babydoll dress style and the pockets are a huge plus. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous, comfortable, with adjustable shoulder straps and back tie. And POCKETS.

The dress is beautiful with a bit of a sheen on it. The shoulder straps and back tie are adjustable, which was helpful for my short self with small bust. I wore a low heel with this and the dress fell just above the ground. I did have to lift the skirt a bit to walk on an incline. The fabric weight is nice -- heavy enough to hold it's shape, but light enough so that the straps weren't digging into my shoulder. The two side pockets are large and well-hidden. The side zipper is a bit sticky, though it wouldn't stop me from renting this dress again. I got a ton of compliments and was extremely comfortable the entire night. I also received the dress about a week early, and despite not having a backup size, found that this fit me well.

Belle of the ball!

Absolutely OBSESSED with this dress!!! Literally everywhere I turned I got compliments. I would just beware that there’s no stretch in the dress, so you may spillover in the top if you have a larger bust. I definitely had to do some repositioning, lol, but honestly it was not a huge issue at all!! 10/10 would rent again

Giving Bridgerton Vibes

This dress was perfect. I felt a bit like a princess and was told that it gave off Bridgerton vibes. The fit perfect and the dress is quite comfortable. I had no issues with wearing it for multiple hours. I would highly recommend this one!

The side zip is relentlessly hard to close. Empire waist is my favorite but this was fun for the night. Pockets are always a thumbs up.

Loved! Would actually prefer for a nice brunch or outdoor event > black tie wedding

Didn't feel formal enough for an evening black tie event. And listen to the other reviews about the zipper, made getting it on so much quicker!!

Super comfortable statement dress

I was very nervous about the zipper thing brought up in so many reviews because I have a relatively large rib cage. It was not an issue at all. This dress was perfection. No bra or purse needed (massive pockets!) and non-stop compliments. I was nervous that it was a little too over-the-top— even the first time I tried it on— but somehow it just works. It’s the best kind of rental that makes the whole night feel magical.

fun print, keeps volume + no steaming needed. love the pockets!

tip on zipping: keep the dress below your chest, then you can zip without tension at the seam. put your arms in the straps and pull it up!

A Fabulous Floral

This dress was so fun! It had pockets and was super comfortable. I ended up going with the bigger size because it gave me more room around the chest, while the smaller one looked a bit better from the chest down. However, it was definitely worth sizing up for the comfort aspect! Received so many compliments on this one. So glad I rented! It was perfect for a summer outdoor wedding in hot temps. You really can’t go wrong here!

The Moms AND The Broadway People Loved It!

I cannot recommend this dress enough. It was the perfect length (I wore tiny 1" heels, but could have worn flats, the pockets made purses unnecessary, and I really did feel like a princess. This is the most glamorous thing I've ever worn, and I felt like I'd dropped out of a 'Bridgerton' episode. It was genuinely a Cinderella experience for me, and wearing minimal makeup (I wore only mascara) still looked beautiful. Rent this dress, wallflowers and social butterflies alike!

Wore to my own bachelorette party. Fit perfectly, quality weight fabric that had structure but wasn’t too heavy or hot. Perfect length on me. I wish I could buy to wear to every wedding or event I have.

LOVE THIS DRESS

I'm obsessed with this dress. I felt great; I looked great. I really did receive so many compliments! Everything everyone else has said about the dress is accurate: the fabric weight and sheen is great; the pockets are SO great and the volume of the skirt hides it all (in total I was able to fit: three pairs of sunglasses, three citronella wipes, a wad of tissues, lipstick, perfume sampler, and mints); the bow in the back is an adorable cherry on top! The zipper is tough to close, but I found the trick was to put on the dress, slip off the left strap (boob exposed), zip up, and then shimmy back into the dress (you can loosen the strap as much as you need to give you some runway). tldr; I love this dress. I may very well continue to rent this dress for all future events. Rent this dress!!

Compliments for Days

This dress was gorgeous! All the reviews were spot on. The colors are stunning and look even better in real life. I couldn’t believe how many compliments I received on this. And I think I got at least four people to sign up for RTR too. Very glad I sized up. I’m six months postpartum and have trouble figuring out what size I am, especially in Australian sizing. I’m carrying the majority of my new extra weight in my lower stomach. I wore a size 10 and it fit great!

SO CUTE! SO many compliments!

All the reviews are on point!! I wore the US size 10– I’m usually between a 10/12 depending on the bust size— and honestly could have gone with the 10 or 12! The bow on the back made it adjustable enough, and the free sizing on the waist, made it easy to do everything! I’m 5’4” and it hit my ankles. Could have been dressed up or down, but work to a semi-formal/formal wedding and it was great!

I loved this dress!

This dress was so pretty! I ended up renting in 3 dif sizes because my size (8) was unavailable initially. All of them fit, but the 8 fit the best. The pockets are huge, but they don't bulge at all (seriously- I fit my phone, wallet, and all the wedding favors in my pockets). I got so many compliments on this one. It also wasn't too long- which is often an issue as someone who is only 5ft1 on a good day.

Summer wedding

True story: I lost track of how many times someone stopped me to proclaim how absolutely gorgeous my dress was! Someone else stopped in her tracks, stared at me and said I looked like a "beautiful doll" in the dress and couldn't get over the colors (!). Generally TTS. If you are waffling on sizes, the top part was somewhat loose but I often wear a 4 on top (i.e, I don't really carry weight fluctuations in my torso). That was easily fixed, however, with the bow/tie and...people are spot on with the zipper: I imagine if the top was slightly more fitted, the zipper would have been a challenge. Material has great heft to it but still flows/falls nicely. Finally, who doesn't love a dress with hidden pockets? Run, don't walk, to rent this dress!

SO many compliments!!!!

I have a larger bust at 34DD, so the 6 fit me perfectly! I’m typically a small, but with the adjustable bow in the back, it was able to fit securely up top. The theme of the NYC rooftop wedding was “garden party,” and I cannot count the number of compliments I received!! Even the bride stated I was “the best dresses guest!” Rent this beauty ASAP!!!!
