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.

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.  

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. 

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 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. 

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 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!
