Obsessed

I wish I'd bought this one! It was gorgeous, I got tons of compliments, and I felt like a princess glowing in it. The fit was tailored perfectly and so comfortable. I'm 5 feet tall but the length hit just right with my heels. The dress is voluminous without you drowning in it. 10-stars!

Loved it more than expected.

The fit is so flattering! The bodice hugs, the waist is defined and its flows enough to feel comfortable on a hot day. I felt so relaxed and comfortable wearing this. It's a unique fabric and the cut just works.

Very well made and fits lovely.

I really liked this dress. I wore it to the office and then again out for the weekend. It feels great. I’m 5 feet tall and it was just barely off the ground, would have been perfect with a small heel.

Forgiving at the garden party

No spanks! The mom flab was fully covered while I felt fabulous. I used body tape to make my tatas perky which I recommend for a special day and a C cup.

Stretchy and comfortable. True to size! Flattering fit! The neck does dip a little low, but I’m smaller chested so it worked for me. I loved the pockets too!

sooo flattering

This looks so good on!! It’s 100% cotton aka ideal for warm weather and the all over texture (basically a seersucker) adds a little something. The cinch just below the bust + the fullness of the skirt makes it so flattering. The length is 🤌🏼 def rent!!

Substantial fabric but still fine for summer in the mountains. Lovely flared skirt, nice snap at the neckline to keep it somewhat modest.

Super long - nice material

Has a little girl feel to it- Not me. Has pockets I loved. I am almost 5’7 and this dress was long. Wore once to work to wear. Not a favorite. Plus shows way too much cleavage. I had to wear a jacket to make it professional.

Striking dress

A little low cut and long, but beautiful. Great fabric, incredibly comfortable to wear. Was happy about the snap in front, but the overall dress is low cut. I'm 5'4", so it was floor length on me.

This is a beautiful dress, but a bit long if you're a short and you'll have to wear heals.

Wanted to keep it longer but it's a bit too heavy fabric for summer. Will rent again in cooler months! Also is a bit long if you are short like me

BEST Dress

I would give this dress 10 stars if I could. It is so flattering on! It is super comfortable and has pockets. It can be dressed up with heals or dressed own with sandals. I wore to a fundraiser at my sons school and received many compliments. The other reviews are correct in that it is a longer dress. I am 5 ft 7 inches and it went all the way to my ankles. I will for sure rent this again! I loved it!

Came new with tags and was so beautiful! I wore it for Mother's Day but would highly recommend for a wedding or other dressier occasion. I'm normally a 4 or 6 but wore the XS very comfortably.

Gorgeous Dress, Runs Big

I rented this dress new with tags and it was so pretty. Definitely a thicker material but very flowy so still comfortable in moderate temps (80 and humid in Texas). Can easily dress it up or down. I wore it with sandals for a date night but could easily wear to a wedding or nicer event. Definitely size down though, as I rented this 37 weeks pregnant (34C bust) and would usually rent a medium not pregnant. The chest and waist still had room and would have been too big without the bump for sure.

Elegant

This piece is absolutely stunning, with a luxurious fabric that drapes beautifully and gives it an almost gown-like elegance. The material has a lovely weight and structure, offering a flattering silhouette that feels both refined and sophisticated. The neckline is quite low, adding a touch of allure, yet the overall design maintains a sense of timeless class and grace.
