Perfect for Wedding

This dress fit good. There is plenty of stretch and it hugs your body just right. Better for smaller chest women as a bra wouldn't have worked with this dress.

Beautiful

I was scared this wouldn’t fit me. It fit great except the shoulders were large on me. You can’t wear a bra with this but boob tape works great. I was getting compliments on this outfit all night. Definitely will rent an outfit again.

Curvy LBD

This dress ATE - got so many compliments! So form fitting. The boobs were a little hard to tape for me and the top of sleeve felt like it wanted to fall so I ended up taping it in place.

LOVED THIS

This was a fantastic choice for a winter wedding. Fabric was very thick, provided lots of stretch. I was a little worried about overall structural integrity when I first put it on... I was convinced the shoulders wouldn't stay up through dancing but they really did. But I have broad shoulders so there was plenty to grip on to. If you have slender or narrow shoulders you might have trouble though. I also thought the length was kinda odd and I had to walk in shorter stride since it restricts at the knees a little. But I still loved it and would 100% wear again.

Perfect fit! I am 20 weeks in the photo, and it was a nice snug fit while still being such flexible fabric for more food eating and dancing.

this is THE LBD of all LBDs

An absolute stunner, I got compliments all night. Material hugs every curve just right, but still has great stretch. I was worried it would be too revealing in the chest area, but it was the perfect amount of sexy. The flare sleeves give the dress a romantic touch. The fabric is fairly thick and smooths everything out well. I might just have to buy this one.

Rent this stunner!

This dress is incredible and a MUST to rent for any date night or fancy occasion! I rented both the S and M, and ended up wearing my usual size M with shape wear underneath. The fabric is thick and secure, but I wanted a little extra something since I was wearing this dress to a nice dinner. I noticed some reviews talking about the shoulders slipping down, so I was hesitant but ultimately didn’t have any issues. I felt so beautiful in this dress and nearly purchased it!

Classy

I was pleasantly surprised by the fabric, which is a beautiful, heavy knit. It feels both luxurious and substantial, making it perfect for cooler weather. The sleeves and length were ideal for a fall wedding, providing just the right amount of coverage while still being elegant. I received so many compliments and felt both classy and confident all night. The dress was also easy to move in, allowing me to dance freely without any slips or discomfort. Highly recommend!

Perfection!

Absolutely loved this dress. Elevated LBD with the perfect fit. Super flattering through the arms and body. I am a size 32DD (& post-partum x2) and didn't need to wear a bra - IYKYK. No spanx needed, the dress held me in & felt super supportive. I'm 5'3" & loved the length too. Must rent!

So cute for a winter wedding rehearsal dinner

I loved it. Worn to a winter wedding rehearsal dinner in Chicago (yes, a winter wedding in Chicago.... brrr). It's made of a cozy knit material that's warm but the cut outs and sleeves give a sexy vibe too. The only complaint is that the sleeves puff at the shoulders and have a line of silicone to keep from slipping off, it doesn't work very well and I did have to adjust it a few times. Would rent again.

Very thick, stretchy material. Shoulders are definitely wide so fall off sometimes, but there are little sticky elastic pieces that help grip.

AMAZING!!!!

This dress is so comfortable! It’s stretchy so the medium works even if you’re normally a size small! I’m a 34D and it looked so cute. Probably not the best for a small chested person. You will not regret this dress! I felt so pretty and sexy at the Cocktail Party!

I’m 5’1 so it was a tad long, but boy did it hug all the right places. The neckline was so flattering. Even with a 38D, I didn’t need to wear a bra with it. This dress brought drama and elegance. Highly recommend. It also has a good amount of stretch!

Perfect LBD with a twist

Rented this for a wedding where the weather was very unpredictable and I thought I would be cold. It was perfection and I felt so good in it, compliments all night. I'm on the shorter side so it was more full length. I considered wearing spanks but the material sucks you in on its own, I also did not wear a bra. The cut out was sexy but appropriate and the flare arms also added interest. I would not rent this for warm weather. I considered buying it, but would love to rent it again!
