Perfect dress for hourglass shape!
All I can say is-wow. So did my husband when he saw me in this (and it's a work dress!) I had never worn anything from this brand before but promptly went and hearted all of their dresses! The material is just perfection - it somehow holds you in without looking too right and hugs in all the right places. Will rent this again in a heartbeat!! But had to think what meeting I could wear it to because it really was a demurely sexy dress...which I can't believe I'm Saying about a classy work dress!!

Perfect work/occasion sheath
Rented this for my grandfather's funeral. It was very firm fitting and was a bit uncomfortable after a lot of hours. Would size up if you order a looser fit.

Cute! Perfect for a formal work function.
Rented for an acquisition launch, needed formal attire that was on-brand. Fit the bill - the bows on the sleeves added a touch of elegance.

Not a perfect fit
I wanted to love this, but it just didn't fit quite right. Tight on the chest/rib cage, loose through the stomach, then tight again on the hips... I feel it runs small, but sizing up may make it too baggy throughout the stomach area. If I try this dress again, I will size up to a 6.

Second color I've rented in this dress. Length is nice for taller women. Form fitting but flattering throughout. Slit is a tad bit high for my taste.

Great for work event!!
The dress is absolutely lovely. Classy and stylish. I have big hips (and bottom) so I was so happy it fit my hips and (very) big thighs. I read that the dress runs big so I sized down from my usual 12 to a 10 and it fit great (I'm currently in between sizes so I think either would have worked). If you prefer a looser fit than what you see in my picture that I would just get your usual size.

Beautifully tailored & sophisticated dress.
This dress garnered tons of compliments when I wore it to work. It is cut very well and I loved the way it felt like it was made for me. Luckily, I've been working on trimming down lately so the narrow waist fit just right and flattered my curves. I really would have loved to keep it!

Wore this to an important office meeting. The dress itself is awesome. It's a great length and office appropriate with the right amount of fit. The arms and chest area (upper ribs) are a tight fit at first but it ended up loosening, or I didn't notice it anymore because it wasn't totally restrictive to the point of being uncomfortable. The zipper is in the back and will need help.

Perfect Work Dress
Did I order this dress because Kate Middleton is a fan of the designer? You bet. And it was a darn good decision Bc the dress was a hit at work. Plenty of compliments and I felt classy and sophisticated. You can't take long steps in this - the bottom is a little restrictive - but the smaller stride is more than worth it. Absolutely recommend.

Beautiful dress, but large in the waist area
As a Kate Middleton fan, I had to try the LK Bennett dress! It's a gorgeous, thick material and I loved it when I first put it on. But while it fit perfectly on top and around the hips, the waist was a bit too loose. It rode up as I walked, and bunched around the stomach when I sat down. I felt good in it, but it's not my favorite pencil dress (and I've tried many on this site!) Tighter fit around the shoulders/chest. I'm small on top (narrow shoulders, 34A) so I felt comfortable in it.

Love the details
An otherwise plain dress, the little details on the sleeve make this dress. Although a sheath silhouette is not generally a selection for a curvy gal, the hips are roomy. There is a little too much room here even for me, but once on, it worked ok.

Empowering Work Dress
This dress was empowering. I felt so confident in it all day. Great for work. It is tight on the shoulders and around the ribs where the waist line goes over. It was pretty uncomfortable, but for me worth it for the look. Will rent again

I'm between 2/4 and there was just enough room in the top (shoulders, chest) for me. The fabric collected lint very easily, and sometimes the seams at the chest looked like my nipples.

Size down by two!
I can't even understand how this dress is supposed to be a 14. It's more like an 18 in the hips. If you have an extreme hourglass figure this MIGHT work for you. The quality is impeccable, but the fit is so off I couldn't wear it.

Very conservative fit
The dress was significantly longer than I expected, going down past my knee. I liked the fit down to my waist, but in the hips the dress was big, with a lot of loose fabric on the sides. I needed a size smaller in the skirt, but don't know if the top would have fit right with that.

The dress is a nice thick material that makes for a tailored look. I got a lot of compliments on the dress. I wore a size up since the range of motion in the shoulder is limiting.

Beautiful dress but it runs small!
I love this brand's quality, and I knew it ran small. The US 10 is too big, but the size 8 was too small. It was also a little too long on my 5"4 frame. Would be best on someone 5"7. I'll probably donate this to a friend who is typically a size 6.

Great dress and loved the little detail on the sleeves! But the waist was very tight and the built in hips created some extra fabric. I still wore it but wish the waist at least had a little give.

After reading reviews I decided to size up to a 10. I weigh around 165lbs and I am 5'5 so this dress fell a little below my knees but the waist was quite big. It still looked good on me but could have been way more fitted for a more chic look. In my case I should have stuck with an 8
