Flirty and Comfortable

I wore this for my 30th birthday and received nothing but compliments all night long! The color is gorgeous and the texture/structure is really comfortable. I didn’t feel exposed at any point either, so great for my fellow tall ladies!

Loved this dress! I'm tall so it was a little short in the front on the one side but was plenty long on the bag

I don't know why but I felt incredible in this dress. I actually don't think it looks that flattering on and may raise some eyebrows, but I felt great.

Way better in person than in pics!

I wasn’t expecting to love this dress so much! I ended up wearing it for a night out in Vegas for my daughter’s 21st birthday trip, and got tons of compliments all night! Was able to wear my strapless bra which is great for me, although in the second pic above when I tried it on I was not wearing a bra and it was still very flattering. If you have younger rack than mine, you absolutely do not need a bra;) This dress is velvet, and is so much more flattering in person than in the photos! The color is beautiful, the velvet gives it a touch of sheen which looks great under lights, and because of the material it’s SO comfortable! You can adjust the ruching on the front to make it shorter or longer, I extended it to make the dress a bit longer since my legs are pretty long for my height. I will absolutely rent this again for a fun evening out! Rent this, you won’t regret it!

Fun concert outfit!

The fabric of this dress was super soft and not itchy at all. The color was lovely! I wore it to the Eras Tour and it was perfect. Be aware that it IS very short, so if you’re not used to showing off that much leg, you may find yourself pulling on the bottom of the dress throughout the night when it rides up. I wore a size small.

So fun!

Wore this for my birthday party and loved it—medium was perfect for a 6/8. The adjustable ruching on the side allows you to raise or lower the hem. I was worried about it being too short but was just right. So cute and flattering, I got so many compliments

Beautiful - slinky but flattering

If this wasn’t so expensive I’d buy it. This dress was amazingly soft, comfortable and sexy. The ruching made me much less self conscious than I usually am when wearing a tiny dress.

What a fun dress!

The first warning I have is that this thing is going to ride up. It's a short dress that fits snugly on your body — it's gonna 100% slide up your leg. I recommend silver booty shorts underneath to give yourself a bit of a Studio 54 vibe while also not having to worry about accidentally flashing someone (you can see the shorts peeking out in the photo!). I ended up wearing this cute lil piece to our friend's mom's 60th birthday party in the afternoon and then went right to a disco-themed party in the evening after that. Both semi-formal affairs, and this dress worked great for both!

Very slimming, but a little short!

Loved this dress and felt like it really fit my body well. The length is adjustable but I had it all the way down and it was a bit short. I felt like I had to pull it down quite a bit but it wasn’t too bad!

Don't rent if you don't have the right undergarments

I liked this, I felt cute and the fabric was soft and pretty. I would only recommend wearing this if you don't rely on shapewear since the length and fabric type don't really enable you to wear many layers underneath. It was a great option for a bachelorette party, and kind of reminded me of the dress from the Disney Channel movie "My Date With the President's Daughter" (iykyk) but in a lavender purple. I would consider renting it again knowing what to expect now.

The color kills!

I never wear purple but got this just to try it. I cannot believe how many compliments I got! I will say I felt like 90% good in it, so I wasn’t 100% sold but the compliments helped reassure me that it was a good pick. I paired with the Purple Dinner Roll Bag (forgot the brand)

Pretty but too small

I probably should have sized up but I think it would have been too loose up top. This was a standing dress only, walking around I was constant pulling it down.

Very short but perfect for night out or Eras Tour

This dress was so pretty and I absolutely adored the way the top draped/ how it hits and somewhat covers your underarm cutlet area in a very flattering way. As usual, Simkhai for the win! The color is lovely and the fabric was soft without being smotheringly warm, big fan of this one and highly recommend!

Short and Sexy

This was fun, the velvet material didn’t work out for the weather I hoped. The neckline drapes quite a bit and I could have taped it to give it a bit more structure. It’s very short but that’s kind of the point! Also very fitted. Color is so pretty and I’ll rent again.
