Great work/conference dress
Loved this...felt a tiny bit tight across the lats but had enough stretch to accommodate and be comfortable enough to wear. Fun cap sleeve and great weight /stretch to the dress. Wore with silver accessories and blue heels. The length was a bit longer than I typically like but worked well for the occasion and the pattern created a long vertical line. This dress has pockets too which I didn't like at first but added a nice touch.

L.K Bennett brand is my go to brand for "work chic". Perfect designs
I have been wearing L.K Bennett for almost 5 years now and love the way this brand creates classic styles for women. It is my go to brand for having a "work chic" wardrobe and this dress was no exception. The fit was perfect, even for a person with hips. Did not make me look "boxy" and accentuated my figure. Loved that the dress had pockets, huge plus!!

Stylist Review
I love this trendy dress by L.K. Bennett! Running true to size with stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and fitted at the hips. It works for all cup sizes. You are able to wear a standard bra with this dress. The pattern on the dress is amazing in person and the stripes clashing with the gingham pattern really give it a unique appeal. Pair with black heels and fun earrings to complete your outfit!

Loved for the office
Wore to work and felt confident in it. A great length for tall gals. Someone else mentioned the pattern made their stomach look big; I understand what she meant but the blazer seemed to help break up that optic. Likely will rent again!

It has pockets!
I really love this dress for work. It's conservative and professional, but the pattern keeps it from being dull. Loved the pockets and the fit. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the cheap plastic zipper, which was a pain to zip past the waist without assistance.

Great work dress.
My only complaint is that the pattern made my stomach look like it was sticking out. But this dress was very professional, did not wrinkle much and had pockets. I would certainly recommend this one!

Doesn't wrinkle, wore two days straight!
I had to work all day in Boston and then travel to New York and work all the next day and I didn't want to bring a big bag or change of clothes so I just wore this dress two days in a row. Not only did it not wrinkle, but it was so comfortable. It's lined, has pockets, is long enough for work and big enough for my shoulders so I love it!

Cool dress, but not for those overly concerned with looking skinny
This dress was interesting, and fun for a different work look. As others have mentioned, the pattern at the waist (and maybe the slash pockets too) don't make for the most figure-flattering look, but looking like you have a tiny waist isn't everything. If I rented again I'd maybe size up and see if it helped to have a little more room where the pockets are placed.

Well made, great fabric.
This dress has pockets which created a pouch in the front on my hourglass shape. The fabric had give but it appeared that I had a small belly. Liked it , it was fine for 1 wear at work. I would not rent it again but usually I love this designer.

Fits funny with pockets but great pattern
Rented this for work. I love LK Bennett and am a pretty solid 6 in the brand (I vary between a 4 and 6 depending on the brand). But this dress fell awkwardly around my hips with the pockets and created a bit of a paunch. Too bad!

Pretty fabric, beautiful tailoring. Pockets!
This dress ran a little bit bitter than others from this designer. I am usually a 14, wore a 16 in a different LK Bennett, so ordered the 16 in this one, too, and it would have been more flattering in the 14. But the fabric was vibrant and great quality, the neckline and hemline were conservative - which was what I was looking for - and the whole thing was just very pretty. Lightweight fabric with good lining, covered zipper. I wore it all day: sitting, standing, walking, hosting an open house for 100+ and it was so comfortable I didn't even feel like getting out of it at the end of the day.

Dress pockets are the best, however, these flared out a little bit which is why I gave a 4 instead of a 5

Fit's great. But does have a little belly bubble. It didn't really bother me. But those who are skinny might find it unflattering.

Great feel and shape, but bit faded and pre-piling
I'm 139lbs, 5' 6", with larger bottom and smaller top and the 6 fit me great. I did wear spanx so everything was smoothed but was incredibly comfortable. If you're familiar with banana republics bi stretch material, this dress's fabric is very similar, only much softer. It's also lined which is so nice. Was a bit worn out but that's ok because the pattern covers that a bit. Wouldn't rent again because of condition, but maybe the one you get won't be worn.

Cute print; very curvy fit
For the first time literally ever in my life a dress that fit in the chest/ waist was a bit /big/ in the hips. I see what the other reviewers say about the print giving the appearance of a stomach bulge; I think the pockets don't help either. It's still a fun dress though. Note it's a touch long on me but not so long I didn't wear it.

Unique pattern but definitely stands out
Wore this dress for a presentation and paired it with a black blazer and skinny black belt. The only problem I had was that the dress was really big in the shoulders. It wasn't a fit that made me feel sexy and professional...I felt more like an usher on Sunday morning. I would size down if you rent.

I think this dress might work for a petite woman, but for me, the waistline hit a couple of inches too high. That problem was compounded by the hidden pockets, which were then too high and made the dress puff out right above my hip bones. It's a beautiful dress and wish it had fit.

Only great if you are super pear shaped.
I am a big fan of LK Bennet for work. I (unfortunately) work in a very professional office setting and these dresses usually fit the bill. The pattern of this dress made my lower half look more voluminous than I would prefer and while I love a good pocket on a dress, these stuck out and created even more width. The fit was pretty generous as well so while this was a miss for me, if you are hippy, it may be your dream fit!

I unusually live LK Bennet but was very disappointed in this dress and did not wear it. It runs big, unlike most of this brand, so it looked too baggy on me. Size down if you rent this one.

I really liked the color and style, especially the pockets, but it was too tight around the armpit and shoulder. I could raise my arms comfortably and felt very constrained. The for around my waist and hips fit great. Maybe a size 4 would work for the shoulder and armpit, but i fear it would then be too big for my waist and hips.
