I'm a curvy gal who loves this dress!

dress fabric and structure are GREAT quality. I'm a curvy girl (hour glass) and this fit beautifully. The arms fit perfectly and I could still move. bust area fit snuggly but there was no button poopin or tape needed for me. Love it!!!

Super cute!

I find this brand to run slightly large and I usually order a size down. I loved it and bought the dress.

Kate Middleton Vibes

The fabric is 100% polyester and did not wrinkle. The dress would be perfect for work travel but does not have pockets. Wearing it with a high shoe would dress it up.

Such a classic!

Who doesn't love polka dots? The red is a fun twist. And even though this is buttoned up (literally) it's still so classy and classic for work. I will be keeping an eye on this one because I wouldn't mind having it permanently in my closet.

True to size, cute retro look

I wore an 18 in this dress. I generally wear a 16, 18 if it runs small. The 18 was a bit big on me, but looked super cute with a belt. Love the retro feel!

Unique, vintage look, perfect dress

I rented this dress for a speakeasy date, I felt amazing in it and so comfortable, i got so many compliments and even someone else at the bar stopped me to compliment me and say she must own it, I had a few drinks by then so I hit the buy button right then and there to buy it for me. I have a small waist and small chest so it fit great but you might want to size up if you have a bit of a bust or more normal size waist. To me it has the perfect length for both casual dinner and work.

Stylish and flattering dress for work

Loved the color and style of this dress. The structure looked flattering and I got many compliments. The material has no stretch at all though, so it may be a tricky fit. It has a side zipper. I loved it so much that I bought it.

Classic silhouette, print and color

This fits a little small, but sizing up avoided any pulling at the buttons. I wore this 5 weeks post partum and felt pretty and shapely, the button top helped for accessible breast feeding and I felt put together! I would've worn it more, but it got spilled on by my toddler. The fabric is silky and doesn't stretch.

Simple and chic

Rented this because I've been listening to a lot of Leon Bridges and wanted to rent some polka dot dresses. It fit beautifully, though I did have to pin the bust on one button. None of the belts I tried on with it really looked right. I think it would look better with the right belt though. This is silk and very light weight. Side zipper, and fit TTS. Gave it 4 stars because it was pretty and simple, nothing amazing about it though.

Stealing Minnie Mouse's lewk

I didn't even notice the not-so-subtle nod to Minnie mouse's dress but once I put it on I immediately saw the resemblance. Still, fun outfit to change things up at work. It would be cuter without black but with tights it was perfect for winter. The dress is a silk esque fabric so it doesn't bunch when worn with tights.

Minnie Mouse at work

So many co-workers and friends complimented this dress, but it's just not my personal style. I tend to like things more fitted, but I use Rent the Runway to try to new styles. The dropped waist and 30s-era polka dots just didn't resonate with me, but I can appreciate that I looked like an adorable Minnie Mouse. It was a completely appropriate dress for work. A little baggy through the chest as I'm solidly a 22-24 in the waist and hips which can sometimes leave me a bit saggy in the chest and arms on certain cuts.

Great color

Fun dress, rented to be festive at work for Valentine's Day. I can never seem to figure out the sizing on Draper James, usually their clothes are a little big but this dress ran small especially in the bust. I had to pin it close and when I moved my arms open it really looked strange across the chest. 100% polyester that has 0 stretch, also gets tons of static, even with a slip the dress kept sticking to my legs. Looked cute but not a great fit for me

Cute print, too old fashioned?

As with every Draper James dress I've tried, the buttons pull so that they gape. I'm a 36C and rented a medium. The top wasn't even that tight, but still the button gaped. Annoying! Also, not sure I would've worn it anyway, it ended up looking too modest/old fashioned on me. Like an old school pin up girl. Maybe someone else could really rock that look!!

I did not have a belt or the right shoes to style this in a way that didn’t make me look 10-20 years older than I am. I did not wear it. The material is very lightweight and more suitable for a warmer time of year.

Wore this for my quarantine/housewife series

I found Draper James clothing to be comfortable and not tight fitting. They tend to run big so I typically size down. I was hoping for a cotton material but it's more of a silky one!

Just ok

I specifically was looking for a red dress that could transition from office to a show. The pleats on this dress fell soooo beautifully, but unfortunately the bust was too tight so one button was pulling which made me a little self conscious—I’m busty though.

No give

The dress is a cute pattern and I like the material but it doesn’t stretch at all, which meant it was tight in the boobs and also made it hard to move my arms. I liked the snatched waste though.

Pros and Cons

I felt very pretty in this dress and I wore it to a work conference and then to an evening out directly afterwards. It blows very pretty in the wind and I felt a little like Marilyn Monroe at times. It’s still very conservative and a hit of sexy with the fitted waist. The cons are that the bust was too small so I had to keep it unbuttoned with a cami under. For that reason, I wouldn’t wear it again.

Great work dress!

I loved this dress and the defined waist. I'm a 38HH and it worked for me with certain bras which is a plus. I'm not sure if it was just my dress (the model photos look like this too) but part of the back hem was not sewn in. Otherwise I would have bought it!

I loved this dress. The only problem for me was the bust was super tight. I was worried about a wardrobe malfunction. But it's very flattering.
