Loved this dress! The detailing is fabulous. I would size down if I got it again. I got the large because I loved it and that's all that was available but a medium would have fit better. I loved it with a Gucci belt and pumps.  Wish I had a better picture! 

The bottom button fell off. It was slightly oddly shaped, but it was really nice! 

Picture doesn’t quite do it justice. The details are lovely and the cut makes my waist look so small

This dress was so much frumpier than expected. I ordered a size up and it was still too tight in the hips. Probably wouldn't rent again.

This is small in the hips with no stretch. I loved it as a duster, cardigan situation but could not wear as a dress! The fabric and colors are great!

The only issue (another member also had this happen) was that the bottom button popped off while I was walking.

A bit tight in the hips when sitting so suggest wearing a short slip or shoe wear to avoid any button issues. 

Pinched a bit in the shoulders and upper back but other than that it fit perfectly. Formal but not too formal. 

Was tight in the hips but still wore and really liked.

I wanted to love this dress but it came up short. It was just a little too snug across the chest which restricted my arm movement. Well constructed.

Comfortable material, but a little too clingy for my liking. The belt also created an air bubble around my waist. Sleeves were too long, so I folded them up.

This dress gives me flight attendant vibes. It’s not great for curvy figures, the buttons come undone easily, and focuses too much on my mom pooch. Not a winner in my opinion. 

I wanted to love this. I literally could only stand in it. As soon as I sat, the buttons undid all the way to my belly button. THANK GOD I was dining where I could have my napkin cover me along with a long table cloth. Or I would have been an embarrassment. This dress was a mess. The buttons and fabric don’t work for a quality hold. 

Perfect for a baby shower with tall boots. Traveled well and didn't wrinkle. 

The belt is a little weird. One side is stitched so you can’t move it therefore, the buckle wasn’t centered. 

I loved that this fabric did not wrinkle and the navy color is classic. 
The belt was weird on me, so would have liked the option to remove it.

I previously ordered a size M and loved it but found it too tight.  This time I sized up to L but was disappointed that the buttons kept opening.  I had to pin it in several places.  Would go back to the M if I ordered it again.

I didn't have any issues with the buttons staying closed like a lot of people had written about. I almost didn't get the dress for that reason. I'm so glad that I did. I did add a safety pin just to play it safe, but honestly don't think I needed it at all.

This ran a little large and still buttons opened up when you walk or sit

I really liked the look of this dress but needed to get out the iron and the steamer and even then couldn't get some wrinkles out. 

This dress fit me well, but it was quite a narrow fit, the shoulders were *almost* too small.  The belt sat exactly right on me, and might not look as good if I needed to adjust it because it is attached to the dress on one side.  Therefore it's not a very forgiving fit. The sleeves are on the short side if you are tall or long-limbed.

The buttons were falling off. I had to sew them back on.

Beautiful dress but buttons not that strong and pops open 

The contrasting boob pockets were not my thing

Sizing was weird. I couldn’t get it to fit over my hips so definitely size up if you’re curvy I did size up a bit and was still surprised that the buttons wouldn’t fit over my hips. Otherwise really beautiful material. I love the two tone fabric. I was really looking forward to wearing it, but sadly, it did not fit me.

Strange fit with the belt that was sewn in but then didn't hook in the front. 

The style just felt too “big” on my body despite fitting well. Just not for me.
