Flattering, cute

This dress is very short. I tried it with the gray tights, but black may have been better and not made it seem so short, visually. Anyhow ... enjoyed it!

Nice basic work dress

I've worn a 4 in Theory before and the medium fit well, not form fitting, fit like a sheath. I wouldn't size down as it was fairly short as a work dress, was ok with tights but wouldn't be good with bare legs in my conservative office. Material is a bit thin and not lined. Comfortable but nothing too exciting, good dress for an average work day.

Snug but flattering!

Definitely a fitted dress!! Very stretchy and thick material but like a work-appropriate body con dress.

Not too exciting

I rented the same style in the windowpane pattern last year and really liked it, but this one fell a little short for me (figuratively). I don't know if they updated the fit (think I may be imagining it but it may have been a tad too big in the shoulders) but overall I think I just didn't like the grey stripes. I wore it to work anyway but probably won't rent again.

Perfect work dress for resort casual office!

As a petite person, it's here to find a dress with a good length. This one was perfect! Not super thick material, but good quality. Will definitely rent again!

NSFW!

Way too short to wear to work, even with flats and dark tights. (I'm 5' 2"!) Fit elsewhere was slightly large.

Way too short

I didn’t listen to the reviews - I thought I was getting a zero but it was a petite size. Way too short!

Professional, comfortable, and flattering!

Yes this dress is basic in design, but the fabric has a subtle print and the stretch in it means this would be a great dress for work travel. Simple but classic.

Very flattering and comfortable

Loved the high neck. It is slightly body con but appropriate and great length on me (I'm 5'1). I wore with tights, would be a good work dress.

Super short!

It fit like a 60's style mini-dress, so I did not end up wearing it. Definitely shorter than it appears in pictures.

A little too small but would expect that from Theory.

Theory usually runs small so was hoping for a good fit. My shoulders are too broad for dress so when I zipped up the back became too short. Super cute dress and material. Dress was too short for professional wear but cute for casual

Straightforward Work Dress

Very simple and straightforward. Good for fall, in terms of general weight and style. Very simple. One of the sleeves had a dropped hem on mine, and at first I thought it was supposed to have an unfinished hem but it was just damaged. Nice for work, nothing overly special.

Very flattering, but a little short for the office

Really liked this dress. It was a flattering subtle stripe. The panels on the side made it fit like a glove, but it was a bit short for the office. It was still warm in September so I didn't wear tights, but it would look good and make me feel more comfortable with the length. Would buy or rent again.

Too short to be work appropriate.

Rented my usual size (XS). Fit everywhere else but was much too short to be work appropriate. Returned without wearing. Might have better luck with the Small.

Fit just right. Fitted by appropriate for work/office

Fit well. The one I received the hem on the arm came to me in bad shape, but pushed up ok to wear

Didn't like the material. Too clingy, was hoping for more of a shift dress

Was hoping for a shift dress style but this was more of a clingy hugging type of dress.

Way too short

I rented for work and it was far too short. And tight. I am 5"6, usually a 0 and needed at least another two inches in length to wear this to work

So short!

I rented this dress to wear at work but even wearing casually its way too short. Would probably fit someone more petite much better!
