Flowered Dress- Great Fit

This dress fit great and was easy to wear. Small ruffle detail on sleeves is cute and not too much. I wore to work twice. Would rent again.

Love this dress!

Wore it to my son's graduation. Flattering dress and the floral print is so pretty! The material feels very light and I was afraid that it would have a see-through effect outdoors but it did not. Perfect for spring/summer events! Loved this dress!

Winner!

This dress was lightweight and very comfortable. I wore it with a denim jacket and wedge heels and also with tall boots for a more formal look.

Feminine and flattering!

I rented this dress to wear to a conference where I was moderating a panel discussion. I don't typically choose patterned clothes for speaking engagements but I was attracted to the colors and flattering silhouette. I felt very comfortable in the dress and received many compliments. It was easy to wear and memorable. It fit true to size and is a dress I will rent again this summer!

Great color, great fit.

This dress was so comfortable. The back is stretchy so it did not feel too tight on my chest, which is often the case with dresses that have a fitted cut. It was a flirty length but not too short. Lots of compliments all night- I would definitely rent again!

Loved it!

I loved everything about this, except the price to keep it! Great, bold colors. It was just the right amount of "fun" but still appropriate for work. Nice material. Not too heavy. I received a few compliments on it. I would rent this again.

Great fitting dress!

This dress is adorable on the hanger and even cuter on! It's a little short, but not too short if you don't like showing too much leg. It was very forgiving across the back and shoulders where I am very broad. The arms were big enough in the sleeve and they had the benefit of a bit of elastic, so does the chest/bust.

Very comfortable, great material.

The dress is less form fitting than you would expect, due to the elastic scrunch backing. But the material is super lightweight and feels great on. Really like the style and flow.

Perfect classy dress!

Wore this dress for my daughter’s Baptism! Perfectly classy - modest but still stylish. A nice light material for warm weather. Love the smocked backing which allowed stretch for a fuller chest!

Love the colors and detail!

I ordered this for something to wear between summer and fall and it is so cute. I love the colors and the ruffle that is across the top and bottom of the dress. If it’s really cute and it’s lightweight but good quality material. I would definitely rent this again.

Flattering and pretty

I rented this for a summer party but ended up wearing it to work. It's a great cut. It was a little tight around my full stomach, but a flattering overall fit, drapes rather than clings.

Comfy & Cute

Rented for work & rented again for an Athletic HOF induction at my high school. Rented a 10 because of length, I carry my weight in my legs. probably could've rented a 8 but was unsure about the length for work. Cute dress.

Light, comfortable, and flattering

Really cute dress for work. Silky soft and light weight fabric. I wore a 12 but could have sized down to a 10. I'm always nervous with back zip dresses as I have a thicker waist, but this dress has elastic and rouching in the back so def could have been comfortable in the 10. Might have to buy this one!
