Great dress,  yes the fabric wrinkled a little but that's typical for cotton like that, I loved the fit, it was structured but comfy, and I felt great in it :)

The material is thick and it is difficult to get wrinkles out but the dress still looks great. The bold color is eye catching. I never use button down dresses for fear of gapping but this dress is so structured and such great quality that it does not naturally gap.  

Fabric looks like it will wrinkle quickly.

Fun military still shirtdress. The color is great. It is a stiff cotton so be prepared to iron upon arrival. It's also a good conservative length. It runs true to size I was happy to be able to button up without any gaps!

I will start by saying I will rent again. It is a beautiful color and even though it was a tiny bit big the belt helped immensely. The only downside is that it does wrinkle pretty easily, but it still looks great. It is very flattering! (Please excuse my weird bathroom pic!) 

Awesome color dress. Even with my size chest (32DDD) there were no gaps in the button down. Was a bit longer than expected on my height (5'4) but felt great wearing it. Only drawback is it's 100% cotton and definitely wrinkles. Would be a pain to travel with. 

This dress is beyond beautiful! I got so many compliments and felt amazing wearing it. The belt is the perfect width and made my waist look tiny and the length was adorable. Love love loved it! 

Looks great standing up, but sitting down makes it bunch open and people can see your underdrawers 

I sized up and I shouldn't have. It fits true to size. The belt wasn't shipped with the dress, so I improvised with a wide black belt. It probably would work better with a wide brown belt (which I didn't have) but it looked ok with the black belt. Nice stiff material. Warmer weather weight and feel to the dress. I liked it and felt "sharp" and put together but I did not receive any compliments on this one.

Love the dress. So many compliments. I loved it had pockets and was great length for tall gals. However, when I sat down the space between the last 2 buttons seriously gapped giving too much visibility to my thigh area in a conservative workplace. 

The color is great and the style is different than my usual. But the material wasn't my favorite and wrinkled easily which is always a turn off for me. Also, when sitting down the slit comes up very high so it would have been a pain to wear in meetings or out to lunch/dinner with co-workers. Wore once and felt stylish but just not an easy go to to make it worth renting again!

I was looking forward to rocking this for casual friday at the office but I ended up returning it instead of wearing it.  The fabric was crinkly and stiff, similar to the fabric on a utility jacket I own.  It's fabric that would be better suited to outerwear rather than a dress. The quality was just okay, which surprised me given that this dress retails for nearly $1K. No lining, and no luxe details. That's not a deal-breaker for me, but I figured I should mention it. The most disappointing part of this dress was the cut. There was way too much fabric in the waist, yet it was fitted in the hips. The excess fabric in the midsection totally obscured my waist and made me look shapeless (even with the belt cinched). I would avoid this dress if you're pear-shaped like me. I think this would be best for an apple/inverted triangle shape. Runs true to size. 

perfect. load of compliments and felt well made and classic.

Wish I could keep this. A nice firm no nonsense piece that can be dressed up enough for work, down enough to be casual, and it is cute enough for a date. Different things can be worn underneath to make different looks or it can be worn without a shirt underneath. I wish the belt were a little different but you can always change it up. The color is nice and bold and stands out. 

Beautiful color. Casual but perfect for work at the same time 

This dress is AMAZING! It is structured, I could wear a regular bra without it showing and the the color is bright – but not too bright. 

I plan to size down the next time I rent this. I have wide hips and there was plenty of room, but not enough that it looked oversized. 

super comfy, professional enough for work, but fun enough for the weekend.  Wore it to brunch one day, and to a business meeting another.   

i'm typically a 4, but this designer runs large so i went with the 2 and it worked out perfectly. warning, when you sit, the bottoms on the bottom may leave a gap so be careful not to play peekaboo. hit a couple of inches below the knee. looks best with heels at my height. wrinkles a bit after sitting in it, but still didn't take away from the overall look. the pockets are really helpful. love the shade of green. highly highly recommend

This dress is gorgeous! The colour and fabric are perfect. The only thing that wasn't perfect about this dress was that, unlike the model, there are no sleeves. I didn't think I was going to need a blazer to wear it at this time of year, but a sleeveless dress was a little chilly in the office.

This dress was pretty but it must be made for someone with a very straight body type. When you sit down the gap comes up very high in between your legs. I kept a sweater on my lap all day at work. 

great dress if your standing all day. 

Also mine didn't come with a belt but I definitely needed one. Would have been way too big without it

I liked it.  Got compliments.  It worked well for a hot-weather work dress.  The fit was a little weird around the lower abdomen/pelvic area.  It puckered.  Belt was missing.  I would have liked it better with the belt. 

Dress did not sit well because of buttons and no stretch- but it looked great and I would rent again.

This dress is gorgeous. The color and fabric are lovely. The only con, is that it does run big. I had a large poof when I'd sit around my midsection. Just too much material. 

I could not wear this dress.  Not the best for a pear/hourglass shape.  Too tight around the bottom and a lot of fabric around the stomach.  Had to return.  

It's way too big. Also incredibly wrinkly and stiff. Would maybe wear a size smaller. Lovely color.

This dress is great for standing but I made the mistake of wearing this dress on a plane for a flight, it's split so high I had to cover myself with a sweater the entire time. It also wrinkled tremendously after sitting.

This dress was so cute, but fit somewhat awkwardly. I am quite short waisted and the dress just did not fit as nicely as I would have liked. 

Could not wear this dress - too tight and revealing around the hips
