Beautiful

This may have been my favorite dress rental (ever) — I felt so beautiful in this dress and it fit lovely as maternity wear (up until about six months). I plan to rent this one again!

Comfy and cute

Wore this for a trip to NYC and wore it to work with a blazer. So comfy and got compliments. It does want to slip down at the chest so I was pulling it up a lot, but no biggie. I’m wearing the Small Long and it wasn’t too long.

I felt so confident in this!

The top fit nicely for a strapless top & I think the drop waist is trendy but also flattering! So comfy to wear! It was too cold to do a pic without the jacket, but truly loved this dress :) I think you could dress it up or down!

Great all around dress

This is a great everyday dress to either dress up with heels or down with sneakers. I will say I’m 5’3 so it was a tad bit long for me so I just gathered the top a little more

Versatile dress

Easy to wear and so comfortable! Length can be adjusted based on the top part, it was a little long for me so I folded it under at the top. It did want to slide down but nothing some fashion tape can’t fix. Worked great for a dressy casual wedding welcome party

Tried it on and bought it immediately

I knew I would fall in love with this dress when I saw it online and waited patiently for it to come back in stock. XSR was the first size that came back so I immediately rented it. Tried it on and was blown away so I bought it right away. I would describe my build as not curvy, broad shoulders and a small chest. The dress was so flattering and can be dressed up or down! The colour is versatile and I think the design is very timeless.

A gem of a dress

This dress is an absolute gem! The strapless black top paired with the flowing cream skirt creates such a timeless, elegant silhouette. It’s both comfortable and flattering—perfect for a growing bump or any body shape. The fabric drapes beautifully and moves with ease, making it a go-to for everything from dinners out to special occasions. A chic, effortless piece that makes you feel radiant the moment you put it on!

Like wearing butter

This is so comfortable! Got for a trip to Montreal and wore it multiple times. Easy to adjust the length which is great for walking around town. I found it slightly hard to shoe match but otherwise perfect.

Perfect for tall girls

I picked this dress out of the ~5 that were almost exactly the same because it was a DROP-waist, drop-waist dress. Tossed a vintage bolero jacket over it and towered around in platform heels at the opera. Simple outfit but a win!

So chic

Wore to a fancy lunch in Mexico City and got tons of compliments. Felt very chic. Does slide down a bit on top (I’m a C/D cup) so may be tough for smaller chests!

This was so fun to wear this spring. I styled with tall black boots and threw a leather moto jacket over it for work too. Will definitely rent again! Curve friendly :)

Trendy, cute

Dress is a nice material. Feels quality but also light for summer. Love the color blocking and drop waist which is very on trend right now. I didn’t wear only because the black top did make it feel more dressy. I bought it for everyday casual wear and it would be more for vacation or a nicer brunch in my opinion. It felt out of place for everyday for me. I’ve seen this dress in two neutral tones and that would probably be easier to wear. Also this style of strapless top just wasn’t doing me any favors.

Do not be afraid to order a long if that is all that is available, I ordered a SL and I am only 5'4 and it really fit perfect and I only wore a kitten heel.
