Beautiful and comfortable dress
I loved this dress and will definitely be renting it again! The colors and fabric were beautiful. I initially planned to go with the 4 because the waist was a little bit tight in the 2, but ultimately I felt like the 2 fit me better in the chest. I'm 5'9" and I wore the long size with maybe a 1.5" heel and it was just about right, maybe a little on the long side. If you're tall and planning to wear bigger heels I would definitely go with the long.

Comfortable and beautiful colors
This dress fit great! Bodice was a little tight but overall was very comfortable. Good option for people who are pear shaped. Only complaint was the length as it was a little awkward on me. Was perfect with flats but the dress itself is on the casual side so was hoping to wear heels or wedges.

Best rental experience so far. Ordered Friday at 5p, arrived Saturday at 12p. Fit perfectly.
I wore this to a gala event at which I was volunteering. It's formal but not over the top, so probably good for a more casual wedding or a cocktail party. It's definitely a bit tight in the rib cage, as some other reviewers have mentioned. I'm small chested so I was worried about it not fitting well on top but it was perfect and I could even wear a bra with it. I went strapless because I felt like the dress straps, while thick, would move around a lot, but you could probably get away with it. It's best suited to someone who is pear shaped because it's tight on top and obviously loose on the bottom.

Beautiful, comfortable dress!
I LOVED this dress! Was super comfortable and the color was gorgeous. My one complaint was that the zipper was extremely difficult to zip in the area where the fabric bunches at the waist. A two person job for sure even though the overall fit of the dress was fine. I wore a 2 (normally a 2 or a 4 but wore a 4 in this designer last time) and it was the tiniest bit big on top but I don't think I could have gone any smaller or the waist would have been too tight. Would definitely rent again!

Comfortable Dress for Fall Wedding
Pros: Fit great, was warm enough for a partially outdoor fall wedding, color was lovely Cons: Felt the rental price was a bit high for what it was

Beautiful dress for black tie wedding
I LOVED this dress! Got so many compliments. My only complaint was that the sleeves were a little tight/itchy at first but you get used to it.

Beautiful, comfortable dress
I rented this dress for a partially outdoor summer wedding in New Mexico. The color and quality of the dress was beautiful and I got tons of compliments. The 2 fit great but was a bit snug overall, especially in the arms. I wound up wearing the 4 although it was a bit loose in the chest from certain angles or if I put my hands in the pockets. Not a total dealbreaker for me and I would definitely rent again.
