My favorite dress

This was my favorite out of all my rentals. I didn’t expect to like this dress so much but it fit amazing. TTS and perfect length for my 5ft 3 in (almost 5’4”) frame.

Perfect Summer dress

This is petite friendly, it has pockets, it's a beautiful color, gorgeous material and straps are adjustable. The print is tropical fish which I wasn't in love with but everything else made up for it. It's perfect for vacation!

Easy Vacation Maxi!

Love the print on this dress and there is a texture to it that makes it feel very expensive! No bra necessary and adjustable tie straps are great to customize your fit. Fits true to size but when in doubt size down.

Vacation Must-Have

This was a lifesaver on my honeymoon to St. Lucia. I got so sunburnt that I didn’t want anything on my body and this dress fit the bill. The fabric is so light and comfortable you won’t even feel that you’re wearing anything. The colors are vibrant and bold, perfect for a tropical destination!

Perfect vacation dress

Wore this dress on my cruise and it was just perfect. I ordered it 3 times to figure out the perfect size. I ended up wearing a size large and it fit perfect. The XL ran really big on me. I usually have good luck with Kate Spade dresses, so this was another score for me. Loved it.

Vibrant maxi

Loved these colors!! The print of this dress was really pretty. I also loved the crinkly material so no need to steam or worry this will get wrinkled when you sit for awhile in the summer heat. Tie straps are adjustable and top was elastic and very stretchy. A great option for the fellow pregnant ladies! Wore size small at 29 weeks pregnant. Normally, i prob would have gone for the XS.

The top fits kind of weird but looks fine on. May not work for large bust. Super crinkly makes it great for packing in luggage. Bright vivid colors got a lot of compliments on this

Perfect for the end of summer!

The dress was almost perfect. I just had an issue with the fabric at the top of the dress. I felt like it made me look way bigger than I am! Still super comfortable but definitely not the most flattering

Really fun print, but a little too muumuu for this girl

I rented this dress for a tropical vacation and loved the print and breathable fabric, but the cut was a little frumpy and voluminous for me

Dress Up Swimmingly

This is a gorgeous dress made for vacation style. It’s a seersucker material so it has to be steamed, but breathes so well in the heat. Keep this is mind for packing purposes. The straps are adjustable and can be worn without a bra. If you have a larger chest, size up. The colors are beautiful and the flowy style is comfy. It’s perfect for a statement vacation look!

Size down

Beautiful fabric that doesn’t need ironing or steaming (suitcase friendly). Loved the way the top is structured. my complaint would be that the fit is very relaxed and does not emphasize your waist so it can make you feel larger… but that’s just my own opinion. so many compliments.

Great dress to take on vacation!

Comfortable and easy but fun and stylish. I took it on a weekend beach resort trip and I was so happy I had it with. Was comfortable and easy to throw on but still got tons of compliments. I can see where this would be revealing for someone heavy chested.
