cute dress but the bust was too tight
This dress was really cute- the classic color combined with the unexpected ruffles are a great combo! My only issue with this dress was that it was too tight across my bust. I wore a cami under it & left the first few top buttons open. The dress I rented also had a small rip along one of the ruffle seams.

LOVE. THIS. DRESS!!!
I rented this for my son's graduation. This dress is absolute perfection. It's unique, beautiful, comfortable & flattering to any body type. And it has pockets!!! I didn't want to send it back. The material is fabulous- not cheap or flimsy at all! I will warn you that the ruffles attack your lips when the wind blows, though. Red lipstick wearers- beware! Lol!

Cute dress- very comfortable!
This dress was adorable! I wore it to a baby shower & to work. It was a true size 12 but was a little snug in the bust area. As a matter of fact, the material at my bust gaped a bit. I'm a 38C Loved the flowiness of it, the ruffles. Very feminine but can be dressed up or down.

Cute dress- very mod-style!
The fabric was great- very substantial. The print & style were cute- very 60s. The only issue I had with this dress was that it was extremely tight across my chest & back. I'm a 38C. Other than that, it fit fine everywhere else. It's still winter here in NY so I wore it with black tights & a fitted long-sleeve black tee under it.

Where have all the belts gone????
This is the second Saloni rental I've received without the belt :*( Luckily I was in a loose & flowy mood today so I didn't mind...This dress is navy blue with orange dots & adorable ruffles! It buttons down all the way & yes, the 3/4 length sleeves *are* a little tight at the elbow...but who needs their blood to circulate when you look this cute??? I love that Saloni knows what a true size 12 is!!!

Adorable dress- vibrant colors!
Yay!! A true size 12!!! I'm wearing this dress at work right now...with black tights & a red blazer bc apparently Spring has decided to skip over the Northeast. This dress arrived without the belt, but it was fine. The blazer covers any looseness there might be. The colors are *so* pretty: bright blue, red, yellow...The ruffles add feminine detail. Lightweight so it would be perfect in warm weather, too. Definitely fits true to size.

Cute but simple
This dress looked a little more "fancy" online. In person, the color & pattern was a bit boring & dull. Although technically the dress fit, It was a bit snug in the tummy area. Perhaps not a flattering choice for apple shapes. The material was a nice, textured cotton- very Summer-appropriate. The ruffles were adorable. Maybe it was just me, but the waist seemed a bit on the empire side. Returned without wearing :*/

Very pretty dress, but was too snug
This was a very pretty, unique dress. I loved the shorter length (I'm 5'5") but I do have some tummy bulges which were apparent through the material. Also, my 34C boobs were visibly squished through the dress. I do have broad shoulders, so this might not work if you have broad shoulders AND some boobs on you. Funnily enough, it fit fine on the sleeves. I sent it back without wearing it :*(

nice weight- perfect for a dressy occasion
This was a really nice jumpsuit. The lace was heavy & although some complained about the sleeves in their review, I had no problem with them. I had expected the legs to be a little more flair, though...but it was still a cute outfit. It is very dark though & could use a pop of color to accentuate the uniqueness of the jumpsuit.

FINALLY!!! A designer who knows what a size 12 is!!!
This was cute, albeit a bit plain. I would definitely want to dress it up with a belt, necklace, tights, etc. It was a nice weight & a pretty color. Fit really well & nicely camouflaged the bane of my existence (my tummy). Alas, my plans changed so I never got to wear it.

Unique top, for sure
This was a pretty top, although the fabric was unexpectedly a bit on the shiny side. I wear a M/L in tops but I have a broad back so this top didn't close comfortably enough for me to wear it. I don't think it's a good fit for apple shapes.

couldn't wear this bc it was too small
I wear a size 10/12 in clothes...this was no size 12. It wasn't even a 10. More like an 8. Disappointed bc the skirt was pretty. The material was difft from what I expected. I thought it would be a stiff cotton but it was a thick polyester. Definitely difft. Oh well. Back it went, unworn.

runs WAY small!!!
I'm returning this without wearing it. I'm a size 10/12 in clothes but ordered the 14 because I figured the dress would run small. "Small" is an understatement. There is no way this is a 14. Maybe a small 12. It was snug all over & the bust wouldn't even close. It looked a little worn & there was some kind of whitish stain on the front of the dress. Disappointing for my very first Unlimited Rental.
