Beautiful embroidery. True to size with ample room in the bust

Loved this dress! I wore it to a wedding. It fit tighter around my hips than expected, but it still felt comfortable. Such a pretty dress!

I felt so pretty in this dress and my fiancé loved it too! The sweetheart neck and the off the shoulder sleeves are so beautifully feminine. I was able to dress it down with Birkenstocks for a garden party/rehearsal dinner but you could easily dress it up for the main event with some heels. My only critique is that it was a bit long since I’m only 5’4 - wouldn’t been 10/10 perfect if it was a few inches shorter!

Wore to a Mexican themed party and was spot on! So light, sexy and feminine. My date texted me from afar that he couldn’t stop staring .

Love the A-line flair skirt, it hid my hips really well and was so flowy and pretty to dance in. The off-the-shoulder bands were loose enough and had elastic that allowed me to raise my arms even with the bands closer to my elbows. Couldn’t get enough of this dress!

Absolutely adored this, was great for a wedding where the dance floor was the #1 priority. The little sleeves looked funky on my arms, but they were easy to tuck in. Will either rent again or buy!

I honestly loved this dress so much and knew it was going to be the dress I’d wear at the get go. I first tried medium but that was a little too loose on me (due to my lack of chest lol). I got the small one which fit so perfectly! I got to dance freely with it and showed off my shoulders well. I had so much compliments! Even the bride told me I looked the best dressed. I told my sister about this dress and she also rented it out for a wedding as well, just so pretty!

Ordered both the medium and the large, the large was surprisingly loose in the bust. Went with the medium, waist was a little tight but the girls were well supported. Wore to a broadway performance, got lots of compliments! :) 

Perfect dress for a fall cocktail wedding. There’s no stretch, so get the right size, but this fit like it was made for me and I got a ton of compliments and felt confident mingling all day and dancing all night. Loved how the embroidery is bold and bright. The sleeves did rub a little on my arms but not too bad—still 10/10 recommend this dress! 

Got so so so many compliments! I don’t have much going on up top, and this was a bit tight in the bust without any give. Definitely a slight struggle zipping up, but it snatched me well! Wish I had gotten the small and the medium, but the small still worked. Shapewear helped me feel a bit more comfortable as well. Would definitely rent again, maybe just a size up!

I would rent this dress over and over and over. I got so many compliments and I felt amazing in it all night. 

This dress was comfortable, easy to wear, and still made me feel fancy on our my big birthday dinner night. Got a number of compliments. 

Wore this to a wedding. Perfect length, perfect fit, and extremely comfortable. 

Size up. More boobs then expected but pretty pattern

This dress has such great structure and flow at the same time. I wore it to an outdoor opera in the mountains. Will probably circle back to purchase it eventually. A detail you might not see from the photos is that the flowers are very stitched (not printed). This dress is so high-quality.

Wore this one an engagement party. Tried it on and instantly loved it. Loved it so much I considered keeping it! 

I wore this dress in Mexico for a party and it was comfortable all night. It fit great, I didn’t need a bra, and no having to pull it up at all. It was humid when we went so the dress was a bit hot but not terrible. It matched some of the trees at our resort too. 

This dress is so pretty but I just didn’t love it on me as much as I thought I would.  The mid section/ waist area wasn’t flattering on me. Didn’t end up wearing 

I loved wearing this dress! Wore to an outdoor wedding at a farm in Florida. My waist is shorter than the boning in the bust of the dress and was a little uncomfortable but not enough to pass over this dress. Loved the embroidery of the flowers and off the shoulder sleeves. I’ve had this saved in my likes for a while and was glad to finally have the right event to wear it to. I wore the size 14 vs 12

As a typical size 10/12 with a large bust, the fit on the Large was juuuuust shy of being too tight. I ordered a size smaller on reading some reviews, but found the medium much too tight for my 36G chest. Luckily, the dress was structured and supportive enough that I didn’t need a bra, and ended up looking amazing and being pretty comfortable. Wore this to an early spring wedding and it was perfect!

There is a fantastic built-in corset that helps hold the dress in place. Off the shoulder sleeves are so cute and can be tucked into dress if not desired. Great quality embroidery and perfect for the rehearsal dinner we attended. 

I wore this to a wedding in New Orleans and thought it looked great. I am a size 16 and ordered the XXLR. It was snug in the midsection and upper thigh, but still fit. The boning in the bodice gives a lot of support. I have a DDD chest but felt fine with a strapless bra and don't think it showed off too many of my assets. If you have a smaller chest, you might be able to fit fine with just the corset-type base. 

I had to zip it halfway and then shimmy it on and then zip the rest. The zipper was getting stuck on the boning joint. It looks wonderful and was very comfortable. I received a lot of compliments. Highly recommend!! 

I loved this strapless number for a wedding in Puerto Rico. There is boning in the dress so it helps to shape and lift the ladies! 

I wore this dress to a family wedding on Cape Cod over Labor Day weekend. It was perfect! I was between the M and L, but went with the larger size for comfort. The boning in the dress made it very comfortable and secure, even without a bra. 10/10 would recommend!

I usually wear a size 0, but I had to size up from XXS to XS. Whatever the second smallest size is. The bodice was so tight on the smallest size that I couldn’t zip it. The bodice was also tight on the XS but I was able to get it on. You definitely don’t need a bra and I had no issues with it falling down. 

I love everything about this dress. The way it fit, the pattern, the straps. The dress has boning, which makes it more flattering. 

Wore for a wedding, very cute and loved the bodice top and off the shoulder sleeves. It was a little large in the waist/top so I was worried it would fall down (functions as a strapless dress because of the sleeves), but it turned out fine. I would order a size smaller next time.

This dress worked perfectly for a summer wedding by the lake. The bodice is very fitted and I did not require a strapless bra. It also has boning for structure. The off the shoulder sleeves are comfortable and have stretch to them. I received many compliments and would highly recommend this dress. I ordered the XL and XXL and went with the XXL. 

Got a lot of compliments! Beautiful dress and clearly very good quality. The sizing was a bit off. Based on reviews I was worried the medium would be too tight so I got the large, that was a little too big- so one star off for that

It was cute and unique but the fit was just a bit odd to me. I did like it, but it was my least favorite dress I’ve rented from here (the bar is high haha).

This dress is more beautiful in person—gorgeous embroidered mesh over a corseted bodice. I felt extremely secured in this dress and received a ton of compliments.

Being as short as I and curvy, the corset top unfortunately didn’t work. It zipped but bunched and is also very tight making it not very flattering. 

If there was a petit option for this, it would likely fit better 

Will not wear it for a wedding but definitely great for cocktail attire!
