Perfect graduation dress! It it so soft and comfortable I could have kept it on all day. I could have sized down I think but it was a good choice for the gals. The belt is a bit awkward as it’s attached on one side so it may not buckle in the middle. And I could have used a pin or tape to keep it in place. 

I’m small chested and this was tight in the chest for me! Gaping between the button holes so I used fashion tape to keep it closed. Otherwise nice dress - drapes/skims well. 

Ok so overall, this was a good rental but I have a lot of caveats. 

Either I got my sizing wrong or I could have gone down 1 dress size for this one. I always ere on the side of a little bigger with dresses I plan to wear in a professional setting because of my hourglass-ish figure (large cup size and wide hips/large derrière, IYKYK) but I think this one had enough room to go down in size without looking too sexy. That may cause more pulling in the chest area, if you have my body type, but safety pins and a minimizer bra came in handy for me. 

This one may have been an RTR error: the belt is stitched to the side so it kept moving off center when I tried to tighten it to fit my smaller waist (see above Re: sizing). I had to use safety pins close to the buckle to keep it in line with the buttons. 

Wrinkles easily but also very easy to steam. 

Light, breezy, flows well. Unlined. I wore dark-colored biker shorts under, just in case it was see through in certain lighting. Maybe a slip (do ppl still wear slips? lol) could work too. Requires nothing but could easily be elevated with some styling. The color is beautiful. 

Might rent it again one day.
