A little short // simple, yet elegant // great dress for an event in the summer

I originally ordered this dress in an XS and was so disappointed when my stylist told me it was damaged.  They ended up sending me a size small which was a little big on me but other than that I LOVED this dress.  It is definitely a mini and light weight, it was quite breezy during our engagement shoot and this light weight fabric was so comfortable and photographed beautifully.  This dress is not lined under the eyelet cut outs which was fine for my smaller bust, so may not be best for a girl who needs to wear a bra.  

Dress fit perfectly the only thing was the zipper constantly for stuck from it being worn I guess previously. But definitely would recommend this dress I wore this for my graduation :) 

I loved this dress. It was perfect for the occasion and is a light material, which is good for hot summer days. I highly recommend this dress.

Loved this dress! I wore it for our engagement pictures. It's great to dress up with heels or down with cowgirl boots. It is a bit short though.

I rented this for my college's annual homecoming event and it could not have been more perfect! It was a little short but was still fine since it has an A-line skirt. The fabric is all cotton so there is not a lot of stretch to it. One small problem that I did not foresee is that the dress is completely eyelet with not shell underneath so definitely be prepared with a camisole just in case. Overall I would definitely recommend this dress to someone. 

Dress was a bit big, but wearable.  Must have nude bra and panties!  Eyelet holes are not lined so you can see right though if your undergarments are the wrong color.  Dress was longer than I would have liked, but that often happens when you aren't quite 5 ft tall.  Cute cotton dress, perfect for daytime events. 

I was worried about this dress being too short because I am almost 5'7, but I couldn't resist renting it anyways.  Thankfully I did because I am absolutely in love with it and it wasn't too short at all with cute bold wedges and bright lime green colored earrings.  The dress was also not see through; the material was thick enough that I was able to wear nude undergarments without any worry! Only problem I had was the zipper- but with a little help it zipped.  Also, I rented the XS and the arm holes were a little snug, but everywhere else, especially where the dress seam hit at the waist fit perfectly, so I think that the S would have been too big/fit awkwardly.  I would definitely rent this dress again in a heartbeat!  I also fluctuate between a B or C cup depending on the bra, and I wore a regular, padded strapless bra with this dress and it fit fine, so this dress should work for both flat chested and fuller people.

The baby doll style of the dress was perfect with or without a belt. The dress was a little short, especially if you're tall, so heels probably wouldn't be a good idea if you're on the taller side. I loved the dress for my birthday and it can be dressed up or down! 

I absolutely loved the dress! It is gorgeous in person and can be worn to a fancy or casual event depending on shoes and accessories. I wore it to a prom on a boat and it was perfect. My only issue was that the fabric about the arms is very tight and the zipper can be a little tricky, but it is manageable. 

I rented this super cute dress for my graduate school graduation. Although it ended up being unseasonably cold and rainy, this dress would have been ideal to keep cool under the hot and humid Southern sun. The fabric is thick enough so that it doesn't feel cheap or like you're going to show anything, but still manages to be breezy and comfortable. I wore a nude colored slip underneath just in case, but you probably could get away without one. I just found that the eyelet holes were larger than I expected and you could see a bit of my bra through them. The small was the absolute perfect size, but word to the wise -- if you are a messy eater, eat breakfast before you put on a white dress! So I had to squeeze myself into the XS, which worked OK but was a lot less comfortable. I was surprised at how tight the armholes were. Lastly, the length of the dress was pretty short, but not obscenely so on someone of my height (5'3"). Overall, amazing dress, would absolutely rent it again for a bridal shower, horse race, or anything like that. 

What did you wear under it? Was it see-thru?

I wore this dress for my Prom and everyone LOVED it.

I rented this dress for my senior pictures and It was gorgeous! However, this dress was very short on someone as tall as myself. If I had rented this dress for a party or for another more social event I wouldn't of been able to wear it because I would of been afraid if showing a little too much! 

Overall, on a shorter girl this would be a great choice and I definitely recommend it!

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party during a day wine tasting tour.  The dress looked great but because the fabric poofs out a bit at the waist it became very short.  I still LOVED the look.  

Fit really nicely. I loved the details on the dress. Got many compliments. The flare really gave my body some shape.

The fit was true to size and the material was great, but the zipper was extremely hard to zip up. The dress is pretty short but still classy. Overall the dress was lovely. 

I'm about 5'2" and the dress was short on me. I ended up wearing a belt with it and wore flats. It was cute and perfect for the party.

Looks great on you.  I am a 32DD.  I usually wear a size 2 as well.  Was the bust snug, or did you have some room?

The bust area is perfect for a big bust, I'm a D cup and it fit me very nicely. Hugs the body in the right locations.

I had rented the small and XS sizes- the XS was too tight in the chest area but the small fit great. It is a tiny bit see-through but nothing major. The material is a little stiff but the dress has such a great silhouette to it. The detailing on it is super cute too. Definitely a great party dress. 

I also had rented a necklace but decided to go with wearing a belt around the waist to cinch it in more- it would've looked too cluttered with a big statement necklace. My suggestion would be to wear either a great necklace or a defining belt with the dress.

Love that you can tell that is Alpha Phi! And MSU for that matter?!? Thanks! Alpha Phi has made my college experience amazing. 

Hahaha how funny! I was president of Alpha Phi at MSU '06-'07. Dress looks fantastic, by the way.

I noticed that composite right away too...I'm a Syracuse Alpha Phi from 1999.  You look amazing...just like a Alpha Phi  ( :

Extremely flattering. Got sooo many compliments! Loved it. 

This dress is GORGEOUS! I really think it's beautiful, but one slight thing to think about: the cutouts on the front of the dress are not as small as you think they are going to be. Thankfully, I wore the dress under my graduation cap and gown, because it would definitely have not been appropriate for my all-girls, Catholic high school graduation. 

Wore this dress for graduation. It was super confortable even in the Virginia heat under my robes. I wore nude undergarments and had no trouble with it being too sheer. If you have a smaller bust I would get your extra dress one size up as I could see it being a little tight across the bust. 

only thing to note is you will need proper under garments as it's a bit see thru! I wore a slip, nude bra, and added cute little belt and worked perfectly.

This dress is my FAVORITE rental to date! I was afraid as to if it was going to look okay because I felt like it was for girls with a smaller build but the dress worked out great--was a perfect length and the cut out detail is so unique, it makes the dress one of a kind.

This dress is adorable with or without a belt/accessories .  I did find it to be a bit on the short side (I'm 5'7) . Definitely needs ironing once you receive it and the material is slightly hard.  Not sure I would rent again for this price.
I paired the dress with Kate Spade's Cut to the Chase Necklace which was fun and colorful - would definitely rent again.

I wore this to an all white party and could not have received more compliments! Unfortunately the medium was the only size they had available but I've always wanted to rent the dress so I made it work. I belted it to cinch the waist in more and it worked out perfectly. This dress was so comfortable and the detailing was so pretty!

This dress is AMAZING!! I felt like a milllion bucks, and definitely was a stand out in a crowd of beautiful girls! 

This dress is so cute, but I think it runs slightly large. I ordered a S because I was worried an XS would be too small in the bust (I'm a large C/small D), but the S ended up being too large in the waist and gapped a bit at the shoulders. I wish I'd had the backup size! But I belted it and it worked out really well - my bridesmaids even said it just looked better with a pop of color definition at the waist, even if it had fit well. The length is short, but thats how I like it, its great for short girls like me.  The material is thick enough that it isn't technically see-through, but I did feel like it was necessary to wear a slip/shorts underneath because the skirt was so swingy. 

I liked the dress a lot. I loved the material, it wasn't too thin. I'm 5'5 and the dress was not too short. The boat neck does create a little bump in the front and in the back. The material wasn't see through. If you wear a white bra and white underwear, you'll alright.

do you think this will be long on me? i'm 5"2.


Hi Uracha, this dress is 34'' from shoulder to hem so it will be a bit longer on you than pictured. 

I rented this for my school's Alumni Weekend and it was perfect for this. Lots of compliments! Someone reviewed that they had to wear a slip but I just wore a nude bra and underwear and it was fine even outside in the sun. I wore it with Jack Rogers during the day, but would've looked nice with wedges too. Really cute!
