I loved that this almost had a corset feeling around my rib cage area (structured ) but the rest of it was so loosen and comfy. It really was a perfect fit. I love the contrast of colors in the pattern.

Loved this dress! I’m a sucker for pockets and also the boning in the dress is super flattering. Can’t wait to rent it again! 

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! 

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

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!

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.

Beautiful A-line dress! bustier like top portion and pockets!

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. 

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. 

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 

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. 

I really liked this dress! It fit great! No need to wear a bra. The print was so pretty and vibrant! Would def rent again.

gorgeous dress!!! received so many compliments and it was a perfect fit. wore this to two different rehearsal dinners. can’t wait to rent again for another occasion 

I wore this dress for my graduation dinner and absolutely loved it.  Got so many compliments and felt so elegant. The silhouette is super flattering, and I didn't even need to wear a bra. Highly recommend!  

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! 

The fabric is a light cotton, so I layered it for winter. I loved how the waist cinched with the corset, but had elastic in the back so you can still breathe. 

Wore this to an outdoor fundraiser and it was great! Very comfortable, light, and the floral print is really pretty. Sizing was spot on. Would rent again for a daytime affair as well!! 

Wore this to an afternoon wedding, very beautiful fabric with a great fit and comfortable stays in the bodice.  No need to wear a bra.

Wore this to a late fall wedding and was SO comfortable. Yes I got tons of compliments, but the comfort was my personal highlight. The back is stretchy so there was no zipper or seam digging into my rib cage or stiff upright sitting during dinner. Not too heavy, not too light, you could wear it any season really and you can eat and drink the night away in the flowy, forgiving fabric. The length was a little longer (on me) than I expected, but it actually kept me very comfortable during the outdoor ceremony. The texture of the bust and the adjustable straps made it so I didn’t even have to wear a bra (A-cup girlies rise up) ANDDDDD there’s pockets, always a bonus right? Wish I were keeping her for myself! 

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.

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. 

huge fan of Cara Cara! a good transitional piece and can easily dress up or down! wore to a wedding welcome party 

Pretty colors and easy fit! Super comfortable and fun! 

I am so obsessed with this dress. I wore it to an outdoor wedding. It was not only complimented constantly but was comfortable and kept me cool.  

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

The style was very flattering, the dress is made very well. The pattern!! Got so many compliments on it

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!
