Great graduation dress!

I wore this to my mom's PhD graduation and it was very comfortable and flattering. If it weren't for my chest, I could have worn the size 10 but if you're busty, go up a size. It was a flattering length (I'm short) and I totally considered keeping this.

Hello, Summer! This dress is perfect for it.

I was surprised when I opened this and saw it was a cotton twill. I anticipated it would be made out of something a little nicer, but it's still cute! Dress runs true to size, and is ever so slightly short. The waist and hemline seemed a touch too short. The cut was great otherwise. Reasonably priced, which is so nice! is one of those dresses that is absolutely better in person. On the hanger and in photos it looks a bit shapeless and big. In person, it has a lovely flow to it that adds the life the photos are missing. It's really flattering. The dress runs a touch large for the shape and style to work, and it has some stretch.

Great bright spring dress

This dress was great for work. I'm 5'9 and it was the perfect length. I am a 34D bust and it was snug but didn't seem to pull. The material is very thick but flattering.

I paired this with a cardigan and wore it to work. This would also be great for a night out.

Perfect fit.

Great fit . I should have sized down. The v neck was just appropriate enough for the work setting and length was great

Short and summery

Simple cotton dress that fits well on top and flares out at the waist. The color is a very bright red so it's definitely only a summer appropriate dress. Recommend for an easy outfit that you can throw a cardigan over.

Shorter than expected

This was a nice dress, pretty orangey red color but way shorter than I was expecting, not sure if it was just my curves that made it sit higher or not but itwas a little questionable at my conservative work environment. Fit well everywhere else though!

So many compliments!!

My hubby took me out on the town in NYC for my birthday, so I let him pick my rental and he chose this cute Draper James dress! The fit was great! The only thing I wish was different was a liner in the bottom half of the dress. Under my coat it kept ridding up with my hose. However that was its only flaw. I loved the color and the fit and was conplimented everywhere we went!!!

Love the color

This dress was a hit. It was a bit loose around the waist and hips. The zipper is the back wasn't protected or covered so is scratched my back all day. Very uncomfortable. I did love the color and style.

Pretty dress for spring or summer

This is a lovely little dress. The red is vibrant. I like the cut, but could take a size smaller. I unfortunately rented it in the wrong season...the material would be perfect for warmer months.

Fun dress, vibrant color

Beautiful color, fun and flattering fit. Several compliments. Caution: I wore a white short-sleeved cardigan over the dress which was definitely color stained with the bright orangey hue after wearing together. Oh well!

Perfect everyday or work dress

Loved the style and fit of the shape, but I had to exchange my first size of 10 for a 12 for the bust area. The 12 is still a tad snug, but acceptable. I've received numerous compliments. Highly recommend this flattering dress.

Love! One of my favorites

This dress was so comfortable and could be dressed up and down. One of my favorite rentals. I saw it for sale at Nordstrom and ended up buying it because I know I am going to wear it often.

More Draper James!

Another Draper James find! I wish I'd taken a picture. The material is a nice weight with just a tiny bit of stretch. I went with the 8, which was all that was available in store. I think the 6 might have pulled in the bust.

Great work dress

Fits as usual for draper james. Usually a 4 but always take a 6 in this brand. This one, probably could have done ok with a 4. color was great! Wrinkled a bit easily though but was a great summer option for work.

Super cute and easy

Basic dress but fit well. Very comfortable. The material was a bit more casual than I expected and the color tends to be on the more orange/red side but definitely would recommend

Did not end up wearing

I did not end up wearing this dress. It was my first Draper James rental and I thought it ran a little big. The color is pretty and it is a little longer than I was expecting although I am 5'2". Pretty dress though!

Runs large!

Love the color, but it was SO loose around my waist. I'm usually a 6/8, depending on the cut of the clothing, but I was swimming in the 8. I could have worn a 4.

It runs a little large and wrinkles easily, flattering cut

Flattering cut and fun color. It appears more red-orange than orange, like the picture depicts. I would size down 1 size and it will fit perfect.

Too short!

I didn’t even zip this one up it was way too short. I’m almost 5’10, so it may be a better option for someone petite. For an outside summer event maybe it would work, but definitely not for a professional setting.
