Pretty in pink - bought it!
I don't usually wear pink, but I loved this! Very flattering, tailored nicely so it has more shape than some shift dresses. It is probably more suited to an athletic or pear shape (it is more roomy down bottom than on top) and is short-ish if your on the taller side. It has some purple tones in there too (so it doesn't feel too "Barbie" or "Elle Woods"). Also, important fact - it has POCKETS! The buy price was an absolute steal... so I couldn't resist :)

Great work dress
Really great dress. Good fit and work appropriate. Possibly a tad short (I'm 5'11"), but I wore it anyways.

Looks simple but is so flattering!!
Perfect everyday dress. Can be dressed up or down easily. I'm between a 4 and 6 and the 6 fit so well. Had another dress so never got to wear it but would rent again so I could wear it! I'd would totally consider buying! Love!

I loved the material and color of this dress! It was fitted but also had just a bit of stretch. Perfect for Easter brunch! I will definitely rent this again.

Pop of amazing color - stretchy shift
Really liked this mod shift. Comfy and fun to wear. Can dress up or down. Pockets looked unkempt if left unzipped, so didn't use them.

Perfect summer dress - but more purple than pink
I love love loved this dress, it reminded me of the dress Carrie wore in the Sex and The City movie, so I had to rent. Perfect for dinner, work, or a night out with the girls. I will say it looks pinker in the pictures, in real life, it's more of an orchid purple shade.

Gorgeous color
I wasn't sure about this dress from the photos as it looks rather shapeless, but I loved it in person. The color is very vibrant and perfect for summer. I'm 5'5" and the length was office appropriate. No stretch, so if you have hips or a stomach you might wish to size up. Pockets have zippers, so not very functional. Wore to work and then out for a business dinner. Did not wrinkle from sitting.

The color is eyecatching and the fit is superb. Classy, professional and fun.
This is a perfect day to evening dress. I wore it to two professional networking events. This dress projects confidence. This may end up in my permanent wardrobe. The pockets are also great for collecting business cards and carrying a phone.

A fun everyday work dress
I rented the Helaina by Theory in the stripe, so when I saw it in pink, I had to try it. I like it even better than the stripe - it seemed to be a little more shaped and was more flattering to my small upper body. The little pockets are sweet, even though I thought the invisible zipper tabs were a little odd at first. It's on the short side - definitely at the edge of what I can wear to work, but still doable. (I recommend measuring the length of your dresses rather than trying to judge from other people's photos.) I will rent it again!

Stylist Review
I love this classic dress by Theory! Running true to size with no, some, a lot of stretch, I recommend wearing your true size, a size up for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is roomy throughout the midsection and loose at the hips. It works best for all cup sizes. You are able to wear a standard bra with this dress. At 5"3, the length hit right above the knees on me. This dress is the perfect for work/ work events. Pair with heels and a chic purse to complete your outfit!

Modern take on a classic shift in a great color. Perfect in every way.
Theory doesn't disappoint with this simple shift in a bright fuchsia color - very on trend. Fabric is a lightweight 4-season wool (with just the right amount of stretch.) Love the shorter (but not too short) length and A line shape. Front slash pockets are a nice added bonus, love a dress with pockets! I wore for a casual dinner on a cool Florida evening (60's) with a lightweight black silk bomber over shoulders. On a warmer day or night, the lightweight stretch wool would be perfectly comfortable on its own. Great dress. I'll definitely wear a few more times before returning - lots of compliments.

Great color and fit
This would be great on a taller person. I am petite, so the torso was too long. I am used to this - every once in a while i strike gold. I loved the color on me. Really woke me up. The fabric seems to have lost its original luster. Or maybe it was meant to have a slightly ages look.

Bright color gives modern twist to classic style
The simple cut balances out the bright color and made it a perfect power dress for a big work presentation! I got it for the 8 day rental period so I also wore it to a social event and got tons of compliments. I'm 5'3 so it didn't feel overly short on me but if you were tall I could see it feeling somewhere between short and too short. I love Theory in general so this is another hit for me! Runs true to size.

Great for work and luncheons
I wore this to work and to a charity luncheon. It is comfortable and a thick fabric. It has pockets. I was didn't realize it has thick seams down the front and back, which can make it a little casual for a cocktail or dressy night out. The length was perfect for me at 5'2 without being too short or long when I wear heels.

Love this dress!
Great color, fit, all of the above! Got lots of compliments when I wore this to a professional networking event (graduate student) and felt very confident and polished. ONLY DRAWBACK - taller ladies be cautious, length much shorter when sitting down even with legs crossed. Otherwise loved this!!!

As always, theory does it well
I love the fuschia color of this dress and got lots of compliments wearing it. The dress was well-tailored and flattering. I did find the size 6 slightly small in the hips, which made the side zippered pockets unusable for me. If I rented again, I'd try the size 8. Overall, a great piece!

Perfect color, perfect fit, felt like a million bucks
This dress was hands down my favorite RTR rental. I love the cut, fit, material, color! It was perfect and if it had been a bit cheaper to buy I totally would have done so. The color is amazing! It did fit a little tight in the chest area but I think sizing up would have been a mistake.

Great Color
I received a lot of compliments when I wore this to work. There is no stretch to the material, so if you are between sizes, I would consider going up a size. The material isn't very heavy, but it is lined, so it didn't show every lump and bump. Looked great with a statement necklace.
