I loved this dress so much for my friend's outdoor wedding. The smaller size 8 became unavailable for some reason (I ordered the rental months in advance) so I had to choose a new backup, but I went with the larger size anyway. It was a little baggy but worked really well and wasn't too short, when the 8 might have been. It was a really fun dress that I paired with yellow earrings and bright pink lipstick. Super lightweight, super comfortable, really fun with a unique slit in the side. Looks great in pictures and I got a ton of compliments all night. My favorite rental so far through RTR for sure. Loved it so much I bought it on ebay! 

I loved the versatility in this dress! I wore it for everyday use, work, as well as parties! It's comfortable but looks super stylish!

This dress is so pretty. Good for every day but you want to look a little more polished. Wore with nude heels and pearl jewelry to dress it up. Fit is great. I'm small framed in the back, shoulders and arms. The slit is a little high so when sitting I brought a cardigan to drape over my legs to prevent any undergarment showings. 

I rented this dress for a bridal shower. I loved it!! The pattern was fun, and the colors were bright without being too bold. The slit on the side and zipper down the back gave it personality that I loved! Little details :) My only con for the dress is the lining underneath was short!! I felt like if I bent over just slightly my butt would show. Thankfully at the event it was mostly sitting, so I didn't have an issue. Overall I loved it!! 

I liked the print of this dress, but it was a little short for my taste. The sleeves were tight and it was tight across the hips. Pear shapes should size up.

Shape is a shift - but it was a bit smaller than expected for an 8, didn't look quite as nice as I had hoped.  The neckline is higher and fell at my usual preferred necklace length, so you have to wear the necklace lower otherwise it would get caught underneath.   The inside slip/liner was torn near the zipper and near the armhole, but not visible outside so I still wore it for Easter Sunday.  The hemline adds nice interest and since I'm short, I din't find it too short.  I'm 5'3" 34A 135'.  Overall, I'm not sure why it didn't quite work -  maybe the slip/liner was of a poor material and ill-fitted to the dress IDK? The floral fabric was nice, and the design looked good on the model - just not as good on me I guess :(

I gave this shift a 5/5 because it's casual cool at its best, but the top was a little tight. I'm a 34D and had to wear a sports bra to minimize things, but don't think I️t looked bad. Too cute with sandals or white tennis shoes and a jean jacket!

This dress was great! I'm usually between a 4 & 6 so I rented both. The 6 was too boxy but the 4 fit everywhere except for being slightly tight across the lap, so I wore a belt. It is definitely short when sitting, but my work event was mostly standing. Beautiful pattern and a great cut for any body style. 

Perfect casual summer wedding/event dress. Great length, comfy and light material. Not too short and the print was even prettier in person!

Fit well. I have an hourglass figure and the shape isn't very flattering for me, but I knew that when I ordered, so I paired it with a belt, which looked good. I'm only 5 feet tall and this dress was short on me, so beware if you're average height or taller haha. The size 8 fit well, I'd say true to size. I wasn't ready for anything too fitted, Bc I'm about 8 months postpartum and not loving my current body, but this dress made me feel good! 

Fun party dress with a cute leg slit on the side. I wore this with blush heels and a pink long necklace to  "welcome drinks" for a wedding. Note, it is not very formal, but great for a date night or party. I ended up going with the smaller size (2) as the 4 looked more shapeless on me. Overall great shift!

Dress is so easy to wear for an occasion - dresses up or down. Beautiful pattern and fabric. The dress slots at the slit to give you more range and leg movement, but it is definitely short when sitting down. I felt like the bottom layer of the dress was often bunching/riding up.

Flows so nicely and has a slight slit which added a little fun. Wore with flats but could have dressed it up easily. Wore to work and felt great without having to get all dolled up. 

This dress was a classic shift dress; I chose to belt it in order to give myself a bit of a waist. I chose to wear 1 size up from my normal size because it does run pretty short. I'm 5'8 and needed to wear my shapewear a few inches higher than normal just to make sure it wouldn't stick out below the hem. Still, this was a fantastic dress; very comfortable and stylish. I would absolutely rent it again.

Sleeves are snug, as well as the slip around the hips but these loosed throughout the evening. Comfy and didn't wrinkle. I was worried this would be short, but even with wedges it was a comfortable length.

This felt like a particularly baggy shift dress and I needed to wear a cropped jacket to give it some shape. Also, when sitting, the slit does seem a little high. Otherwise high quality and beautiful print! Might rent again.

Ended up having to use my backup size because it was a little tight in the shoulders. The print was stunning, and the dress was incredibly comfortable. Easy to dress-up with simple gold jewelry. Other reviews wrote about the annoying slip attached underneath the dress, but I had no issues with it. Loved the fun and flirty slit on the bottom. Print looked great in pictures, not super flattering in photos though. Overall, great dress! 

Please excuse the ridiculous pictures - I wore this to my friends wine tasting bachelorette party. Loved this dress, initially I was worried it was a little short but it ended up being fine.  I belted it to define the waist as it is a true shift - less curvy girls may not need to.  Comfortable all day, paired with tan wedges.  The fabric does not have any give, lays well and is actually textured (like a ripple?).  Fun dress, could see this working well for any spring/summer party, shower or date night. 

The dress fit great. It was short enough to feel sexy without being overly revealing.
