Adorable and classy
Such a classy little dress for work. Belted it to make it more flattering and may have worked to go down a size but loved this dress. Light enough for summer but could also work with tights and booties. Definitely long enough for work.

Great dress!
I love this dress! I've rented it twice. The waist isn't very well defined and the pleats weren't very clear, but it is cute and easy to wear. I've opted to wear it with a belt.

It was a classic piece, and so effortless!
I thought it was going to be a tight fit but it was loose, more than I am used to. It I would have gotten smaller the shoulders would have been tight. Overall, it was a beautiful dress.

Simple yet sophisticated
Loved this dress. It was easy to wear and simple. I decided to stay safe with pearls and a red lip. It could be dressed up or down. It was a little tight on my crossfit biceps but still fit. I went with the smallest size and was happy I did.

Amazing dress-very flattering!
Such a cute dress and extremely comfortable. I paired it with a leather jacket to make it more business casual than formal. Does run very large. I typically wear a size 6 and ordered a 42. Could have gone down another size actually.

Fits big! Size down. I am a solid 6 and wore a 2. I paired with a BB Dakota jacket for a job interview. Got the offer!

Goth and dainty at the same time.
Really liked this dress. Lace detail is beautiful. Only criticism is that the waist falls in a funny place. this ran large - should've gone for a 38 (I'm normally a 2)

I wore the 38/US 2 to work. I could have gotten a size down - it's on the looser side - but it was still pretty and fit nicely. Felt really comfortable and classy in an understated way to a big meeting at work.

This dress is the perfect mix of feminine and sophisticated, making it a staple in my work wardrobe. The pleats and lace are so pretty, but the structured top is perfect for business occasions. I rented it as part of my Unlimited subscription and will definitely re-rent it. This particular cut seems to run a bit large. I rented the 40 and had a fair amount of room in the waist. I would definitely size down.

Stylist Review!
So comfortable!!! I am obsessed with this material. It is stretch and hugs your curves. The skirt is pleated and has lace on the bottom. So simple, but classy! I would wear this to work with a blazer and take it off for a night out with friends. Pair this with colored heels and a statement necklace. This runs true to size and we would recommend sizing down for your backup size.

Great quality. Simple but unique
I loved this dress. I loved the feminine lace and the breezy movement of the skirt. It's kind of a shift style dress in the way that it's really loose in the waist. So, if you want something from-fitting this isn't the dress for you. I absolutely loved it, though! But I might try sizing down next time I rent it which will hopefully be soon!!

Lovely comfy dress
Beautiful fabric with pleated swing skirt, and the lace flounce on the bottom is great. However the fit is odd. The waist is quite generous. To get the waist small enough, you need to size down. But then the shoulders and bust were a tad tight. That's why I gave this a 4 instead of 5. It worked fine for me but there was no room to spare on top. A gal more endowed that me would have an issue with this dress, sadly.

Does this make me look like a french maid?
Fit was a little big- i usually wear a 0 or 2. I liked this dress for work but it definitely wasnt a showstopper. Basically this is a nice dress but it doesn't acomplish anything special

Too long...even with heels
Too long and not fitted enough in the top half for a petite person like me. The length needed to be an inch or too shorter, it hit at an awkward length.

Plain Jane
Was hoping to wear this to a wedding, but realized it was far too plain for photographs. The only detail on the dress is the lace at the bottom. An while it's sweet and delicate, it's pretty subtle. Also, the waist seemed oddly large, it would have been more flattering with a belt to cinch in the waist.

The fabric and lace finish is adorable but the waist was sort of meh to me. It really has no shape so its forgiving if you have a large midsection. I felt comfortable wearing it but it wasn't anything special.

From the pic I placed hand on my waist so you can see how much extra fabric there was. OMG this dress runs sooo big. My normal size is a 4- so I ordered the 42 as recommended and it didn't fit -so do I need to order a 0? My measurements are 34B, 27 natural wait and 38/39 hip, and 5 ft tall. The fabric is nice and thin . But sucks I can't get a replacement delivery on time.

Even cuter IRL!
Valentino is one of my favorite designers because the dresses are flattering on petite pear-shaped people like myself. This dress is no exception. My usual size in Valentino dresses is 40 and this one fit perfectly in the shoulders/arms, but the waist was looser than usual. The fabric is a beautiful medium weight crepe, though from the photos I thought it was knit/sweater. I probably could have sized down but it's still cute in my usual size.

Great Day to Evening Event LBD!
Loved it! Wore it to work and then to an evening event. Got compliments everywhere and even told it was a little gothy (haha I don't mind this at all). Fit was great. Excellent shape. Sleeves a little tight, but not impossible to deal with. The lace was so feminine, definitely made a standard LBD something special.

This definitely runs large through the waist. I definitely could have gotten away with a size or two smaller. Though the sleeves are a little snug, at least on my upper arms.

The epitome of class.
This dress is everything a lady looks for in a work-appropriate cocktail dress. At 4'11'' the hem fell right at/above my knee cap. The lace detail was delicate and feminine. The pleated skirt added a full swing that made me feel very elegant and slightly dramatic. The sleeves were a bit snug right at the seam, and the waist was a bit loose but not at all unflattering. I definitely could not have sized down because of the sleeve situation. I paired this with the Kate Spade Party Pearls Necklace and my favorite White House Black Market patent leather heels for a polished look. This is a MUST RENT piece!

I was so excited about this dress, and normally Red Valentino fits me quite well... unfortunately this dress was a bit long and a bit loose in the waist, so I didn't wear it. The material is nice- sillier than expected. The dress is well made and really cute. Would be adorable on someone with slightly longer legs!

I love this dress. I misread the sizing and accidentally ordered a size too big but I've sent it back and anxiously await the correct size. The quality is the best part, the dress I had still had the tags on it it was brand new!!! Fit is perfect and flattering. Can't wait to wear this!!! I don't think I'll return it for a while

Really adorable dress with cute detailing, but definitely size down. I love shift dresses, but this one is a bit too long to pull off the baggy look. I ordered a 40 (US 2) and am typically a 2-4, and I was legitimately swimming in it.
