Flattering great quality denim dress tts

This dress has pockets! The fit and flare is flattering and the denim feels nice. The fit was really good and I liked the weight of the dress. Structured enough for it to hang well and keep its shape, but not heavy. This dress can be dressed up or down and it’s a great wash. Rent it!

Sooo comfortable and cute

Perfect dress! Ran just a little big, maybe, but it was magical denim. Fit was so flattering, and dress was long but didn’t feel heavy. Almost bought!

Perfect fit, not too heavy

LOVED the fit of this dress. It is so comfortable, stretchy, and not too heavy and hot for summer. I wore it to the Cowboy Carter concert and to work and it was perfect both times. I had to buy it! It runs slightly big, ai wouldn’t necessarily size down, but just know it will give you enough room to move and sit and breathe!

Plain alone but so versatile!

Great fit! When I originally tried it on I thought it was a little boring, but it's the perfect canvas to dress up. I wore it under a vest to a concert and out around town with a more sporty floral jacket and tennis shoes. Would rent again!

Absolutely loved this dress! Came new with tags and would definitely rent again but would go down 2 sizes next time I go between a 4 & 6 and got a 4 but was very large in the arms / chest area so would go for a 2 when i rent again!

This dress is super cute but a touch more conservative. It has great pockets but I did think it ran a bit large. I could have gone with a zero.

Heavy - Spring or Fall Dress

Tip / Fit: it's heavy, don't wear in hot weather trust me. However, this would be perfect for cool spring days, fall, or even winter with a good jacket

Good dress, slightly big all around

I think the only thing I would have changed about this dress is it runs a piiiinch too big for me. It's pretty heavy thick denim so I would have liked a slightly more fitted fit, but it wasn't like I was swimming in this fabric or anything either. As a tall girlie, I think it still worked

Great dress for a western event

Very flattering, perfect length and good straps. The back has an elastic section around the zipper that kind of puckered out because it was too big, but wasn’t super noticeable. Would totally rent again in the next smaller size!

Yeehaw chic

This looks 2D and dowdy on the hanger, but when it's on the seaming looks amazing. The scoop neck and back balances out the length. The fabric is on the lighter side for denim but definitely still substantial. Super cute and will rent again.

Casual/Not Chic

I wore this on travel days in the car and casual days where I felt like I needed to dress down. I got tons of compliments but I felt a little boxy and not very chic. If it had been tighter on the bust and waist maybe I would've liked it more? I rented a 4 and should've got a 2

Got so many compliments on this dress but it does run large and is stretchy. Size down minimum 1, but maybe 2 sizes. Wore layered over a white t-shirt and with boots. Great weight of denim and very satisfying swishing as you walk.

Short girl approved

I’m 5’2” and this was a nice mid length dress! The material is quality. I am between sizes right now (4-6 dress) so I got the 4. However I think I would size down again since 1) I have a flat chest and felt the chest was too big, and 2) It did not give me the compression I wanted in the waist.
