Loved this dress (ignore my goofy face!). The blue piping made it super fun. Cut was flattering and I wore it with flat boots to work then ankle heels to an event that night. The feedback on tight sleeves is accurate; it’s one of the few times I’ve needed help zipping up a dress just because the arms were too tight. That said, it was pretty comfortable on. It would be perfect if it had pockets!

Felt classy and sexy at the same time. Loved how this dress covered me, but still felt fun and attractive. Power move dress!

Ok - nothing special. The sleeves are strange - they are right at the el ow - they cut at the bend in the arm. 
The cut of the dress is form fitting, but still a little dowdy.  

Really liked this dress.  The sleeves were kind of tight, with no stretch.  But overall, it’s a very nice dress.  I wasn’t sure what to expect with the fabric, but it’s like a rayon and not heavy or stretchy.  

I read the reviews, which said the dress runs small. As someone with larger hips, I am always wary of how these types of dresses will fit and if they'll hug my curves too much. So, I ordered a size up (6). It ended up being a little too large, roomy through the waist and hips, but I could get away with wearing it anyway. Next time I'll get the 4!

The sleeves were a quite snug, but the fabric was thick enough that it nothing looked lumpy or bumpy. I probably could have gotten away with the 4,  but it was really cute!



The dress was very flattering and I received many compliments. However, it was not remotely comfortable. The sleeves were tight on the arms and I felt i was constantly adjusting it. Also baggy at the waist but tight elsewhere. 

Love the fit, and the interesting lined details on dress

I feel like a rockstar wearing this dress!! Note that ripped stripes are navy blue and not black. So if you are one of those people who only wear black, maybe skip this one. I am large chested and in between size 6 and 8. My boobs are kind of squashed in it but there are some room around my hips. It's a little tight in the arms. 

Great for work. Small in the hips but still received tons of compliments 

The blue mesh ribbing along the sides and at the top of the dress really make it stand out from common work wear. the short sleeves and length are great office coverage as well. I loved the fit and material of this piece; comfortable and yet stands out. Hard to see in photos, but that ribbing detail is a nice electric blue in the light. Very fun work alternative (my puggle also liked this one. :) )

Great work dress. Very comfortable, thick fabric that doesn't show lines, and the ribbed detail adds a neat design. I did wear a strapless bra with it because you can see bra straps through the semi transparent upper half. I did feel the dress was a little short for work at 5'6" but with dark stockings, it was perfect for me.

Great quality. Nice thick fabric. My only warning is that it twists as you walk and with the pattern the lines obviously show it's twisted around. Not great for having to walk a lot as you keep having to adjust it. 

I really liked the see-through details on the stripes. It made the dress fun. The four fit me perfectly (I'm normally a 4-6) but the material isn't stretchy at all. It didn't lay quite right around my shoulders so I didn't love it on air, but it looks fantastic in person!

I rented this for work and the blue detailing on the dress is gorgeous. The top panel near the neck is actually sheer without a liner, Which made it impossible to wear with a normal bra. It would've been nice if that panel was lined like the sheer panels down the dress. Otherwise, I loved this dress!

Wore to work. Black and blue dress. Thick and quality material. Paired with black tights and booties. Would rent again!

Loved this dress! Well made and great fit! It's better in person then photo. As other reviewers  commented, embellishment detail is in navy and the dress is black. 

Loved the details on this dress. Along the front and the arms were these somewhat sheer navy accents. Made the dress interesting and unique. Downside is parts of the dress have a silky inner lining which makes me feel hot sometimes. Fairly comfortable but a little restricting, and high neck. 

Many friends complimented this dress!  If you're taller than 5'9", it will be too short.  It's a little tight in the bust.  Otherwise it's professional and stylish.

Loved this for work. Tempted to keep it but not at the price. Will definitely rent again
