The perfect dinner dress

Wore this gorgeous dress out to dinner in Brooklyn. It can be dressed up with a leather jacket or blazer or dressed down with a scarf or sweater. Highly recommend!

Pretty embroidery

This dress was light weight and had nice details. I could see it working for someone who is pregnant given the empire waist.

Beautiful dress!

I rented two different styles and ended up selecting this one. I wore it to a formal, outdoor wedding and it fit right in. I usually wear a size 6 but I ended up wearing the 8 so I could eat. The chest is definitely smaller if you are a C or above. I probably wouldn’t recommend this dress for anyone larger than a C bc of the way the top is designed. Huge plus is you don’t need a bra and top is very snug so you don’t pop out. Dress length was perfect for me (I’m 5’7”). I added these fun strappy red shoes from Amazon. Dress material is cotton but print and top design make it perfect for a formal occasion. Highly recommend!

The Perfect Dress

Gorgeous print. The boning at the waist and chest are very slimming. No bra needed. Good length and deep pockets. I love this dress. Might not be good for large chests.

Floral Dream

Perfect dress for a trip to Provence! The bodice was super flattering. Don’t hesitate to rent this dress! Reviews were correct- there isn’t a lot of room in the bust. I’m a 34C (small C) and just fit in the chest area.

Fabric + Design = Magic

The bright florals against the black background are instantly eye-catching and done in a unique way. I sized up to be sure I had adequate bust coverage and it worked out perfectly with no need for a bra. The waist is fitted with stays for structure so would also recommend sizing up if you have a larger ribcage. The length was a little awkward on me as it was just shy of being a maxi but loved it so much it was a non-issue.

LOVE!

I got proposed to in this dress so it’ll always be 5 stars in my eyes :) similar to others though it DEF runs small in the ribcage - I’m usually a 4-6 in dresses, rented the 6 and it was on snug side so if you’re larger chested would definitely size up. It sits very nicely and a super pretty dress in general

Unbelievably comfortable

Perfect for wedding in British countryside. Has pockets. Smocking on back makes it so comfortable and forgiving. Light boning gives great structure and easy to go braless.

Pure Joy

For all my follow flower girlies, please rent this dress! I wore this to Monet’s garden in France and felt like I was a part of it. I see how this could be a tight fit on the bust as others had mentioned, however this was fine for my bust size (34B -32C) + Pockets. Highly recommend!

Does run small in the bust, but the 2 worked for me. Long in lengths but the pockets and overall design make it work! Oodles of compliments and was perfect for a Spring floral themed event. Highly recommend!

LOVED this dress - would rent again!!!

I had my eye on this for ages for a spring trip to NY with a show. It didn’t disappoint - I felt amazing in it. I paired it with the green Furla bag (another rental!) and it’s probably one of my favorite outfits of the year. Would absolutely rent again; the back has some stretch to it, and it meant the 4 worked as well as my usual size 6.

Gorgeous and flattering

This dress may be tight but boy does it snatch the waist! Sure, it might be uncomfortable if you wear it for 8+ hours depending on how snatched it makes you, but it is beautiful and received a compliment from Mona Awad when I attended her book signing.

The bust area was small, even for my mini mangos.

With the fabric being thicker, I wish I would've steamed the dress.

Perfect late summer wedding outfit!

Was looking for a comfortable dress that would fake the hourglass figure I haven’t regained postpartum. Not only was this supportive in all the right places, I didn’t need any shape-wear to feel great and dance all night!

BEAUTIFUL but small in the chest

I’m obsessed with how gorgeous this dress is. The boning with the flair waist line is so feminine and flattering. Unfortunately I think it shows too much cleavage for my work event. Would rent again and may size up to give the girls some room.

Gorgeous dress, fit perfectly!

This dress is beautiful and fit just right! The top has a lot of structure/boning that allows for no bra, but it never felt stifling due to the stretchy back. I ordered the 4 and 6 and went with the 6 for the eating/sitting room. So simple and comfortable, while still looking so put together. Just perfect.

Adjustable straps, pockets, and SNATCHED my waist. Boobs looked great - I wore with a strapless bra but you could totally go without. Wore to a beach wedding because the fabric and color hid my sweat well.

Excellent Wedding Guest Dress

This is a great dress to wear to a wedding. It has some stretch, adjustable straps and pockets! FYI if you have a larger chest, your shoulders will hurt after a couple of hours from the very thin straps.

Obsessed with this dress. Super high quality and flattering. Really cinches in the waist because of the boning. It’s giving Oscar de la Renta. Wore for date night but wish I’d had for a wedding a few months back.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Fit like a glove! It is cotton but it’s made with such long fibers that it has a beautiful sheen and felt formal enough for a summer wedding at a castle in LA area. As you can see my hubs was in a black suit, so it wasn’t a casual wedding by any means. The bust area is pretty small, but as a 32A I had plenty of room. Not sure if it would work for anyone over a C unfortunately. Absolutely loved wearing this and felt comfortable all night!

My cleavage looked great in the dress. I felt feminine and pretty. The corset gives itty bitty waist and the flare skirt is flirty and divine. The dress also has pockets!!!!
