Loved the fit, color, and, fabric. I did wear spanks to smooth the mid section and had to use static spray but other than that was perfect for work. Got a ton of compliments and it was easy and fun to wear! I'd rent again!

This dress is absolutely beautiful and so fun to wear. Loved it for work!

Loved the fit of this dress. It had a zipper on the side so it contoured to my body nicely. I wore this with leggings and boots since it was January and a rather chilly day. Would definitely rent again :) received many compliments 

The photo looks frumpy but it is a very flattering dress! It's perfect in all the right places. It fits large busts fine, although a bit tight in the arms. It's just lovely and is perfect for my hourglass shape. I'm 5' at it hits right above my knee. 

This dress is unique, charming and flattering.  Was hard for me to button the sleeves, and the opening wasn't large enough for me to button before my hands were through.

But gorgeous silk and unique cut make this a must have.

I love this dress. The fit was perfect for me, my only complaint would be that the sleeves were a tiny bit too short. Otherwise I loved it and would rent it again.

Great fit, very slimming at the waist. Light fabric and the sleeves are sheer so it works even in the summer. The only tricky part was the row of tiny buttons at the sleeves but not too bad with some help or a few extra minutes. Highly recommend 

This fit me perfectly. I did have two buttons fly open at the beginning of the day but thankfully, once I closed them properly, I didn't have that issue.  I received compliments all day on my dress and it was perfect day to evening look for cocktails right after work!  Totally love and thinking about purchasing.

A bit tight around the waist, but other than that, it was perfectly feminine and polished for work

Great fit, not too short, and nice sleeves.  

Fit perfectly and received so many compliments!!!!

This dress is light and it just flows. It's simple but stylish 

Great mid-thigh length makes it suitable for work with or without tights/stockings. I rolled up the sleeves to make it look a bit more casual for work. Super cute paired black flats. I love that it looks professional and conservative but still feminine and fun!

Loved this dress. Perfect length since almost every dress I try on is too short because of my long legs. Very comfortable. So pleased with this rental!!

I followed other reviewers' advice and went up a size.  Glad I did.  I usually wear a size 2 and ordered a 4.  It fit perfectly.  This dress is soft and feminine with a 50's flair.  Absolutely loved it.

Such a comfortable dress! Perfect for my job as a teacher. Modest but still stylish. I am in love with this dress!

Fit was perfect. Day to night possible. The material, the length and the cut fit great. I will rent again.

I'm seriously considering buying this dress now that I've worn it and know how it looks on me... I ordered this for a first date, and it was the perfect outfit.  I'm pretty curvy and I was surprised how well the dress fit, particularly the bust, given it's 100% silk. I tend to have issues with button downs and was expecting to have to  monitor the bow to make sure I stayed covered, but I actually didn't have any "gap" issues with the buttons. I ordered a size 4 with a back up 6 and ended up going with the 4. They both fit pretty well, but I liked the look of the 4 better and ended up going with that one. After dinner, the dress did feel a little tight, but it was manageable. Throw on some tights and a pair of heeled boots or some Mary Janes and you're ready to go!

I wore this to a bridal shower. Classy, elegant, and professional dress that's very unique.

Great shape through the waist for hourglass figures.  Very flattering length for work but the bow at the neck and fun pattern would make it great for a date, wedding, etc as well.  The only con was that due the weather it held a lot of static.  It also has a side zipper which is not my favorite since those are usually difficult with my bust size but this one wasn't an issue

Great great dress! Perfect fit! Lots of compliments 

I absolutely adored this dress. I felt "cool". I paired this w tan booties. So cute. The band around the ribs is definitely true to size. I couldn't wear a bra w the size 4 or the buttons would stretch open. I could have w the size 6, but overall the 4 just looked "cleaner" on my body. The length was perfect and the sleeves had plenty of room. I really loved the length of the sleeves. They worked for my long arms, but would also look great on someone w shorter arms due to the construction of this dress. The neck was beautiful and didn't annoy me at all. Nothing about this dress annoyed me. I wish I could own it!

The arms were a little tight but the dress fit perfectly otherwise. Super comfortable dress!

This dress was amazing! It had a retro 60's - 70's vibe to it, which was a lot of fun. Since I wore it on Thanksgiving, I paired it with Kate Spade's fox clutch. 

The length was just right. I'm 5'10 and it hit me about 4 inches above my knee. This dress is very lightweight and easy to wear - I got lots of compliments when I wore it to a friend's party. The sleeves aren't too tight and they are just the right length! Overall I LOVED this dress.

I'm generally a size 2, but really loved the long, slim lines of the 4, and it fit perfectly in the waist.  The torso is very blousy; probably very good for a full bust.  I'm average-sized in the bust area, and realized that photos from the waist and above would not be as flattering as full-length ones, as the blousy effect makes you look fuller than you are. (That's why I chose to wear the tie in a knot, rather than in a bow- get the legs in the photos!)  Overall, a gorgeous, comfortable, chic little number that will suit your daytime/workplace event quite beautifully.

It's a smallllll waist - had to recruit the SO to help me zip. But it's pretty adorable as you can see - it's not just polka dotted it's softer.

This dress was nice. Not great but not bad. I wore it to work and then a work event and it did the trick to make you feel put together but lacking a wow factor for me. The fit was snug in the shoulders and ribs but don't think it was the wrong size. Feel like sizing up would have been too loose. The dress buttons in the front but my crossover purse kept unbuttoning the middle button... So I almost flashed my bra a few times! Otherwise a good piece.

I can't resist a secretary neck-tie, but the side zipper hates me. Beautiful flirty chiffon dress. Loved the sheer sleeves. Paired it with my grey Theory blazer, but the skirt still hit mid-thigh on me. A little too risqué for court.

I wore a size 2 and it was a bit tight in the waist. I should have sized up. The cut and material is beautiful and light. I love the bow detail in front. I'm about 5 ft tall and the hem hit my knees. 

Great dress for work! Classic with a modern twist.

Rented this for a work Conference that I was a presenter at.  Material was comfortable and flowed well despite the weather being a little warmer than I had anticipated (80F) but perfect indoor the hotel.  Row of tiny buttons (x5) along wrists a great detail but will add a little time to getting ready.  Overall happy and received many compliments.

Wore it once. Was okay. Probably more flattering on a tall person. Material was pretty and wore well. 

Adorable dress.  The only thing I didn't love was that it doesn't pull in at the waist very well.  To solve the problem, I wore a belt which worked just fine!  I wore this to work and to my sisters birthday dinner. It wasn't my favorite thing I have rented but I still got a lot of compliments on it! 

I wanted to be a little conservative for an event after a trade show in Vegas, however this was a bit buttoned up for my taste.  I am 5'9" and the length was fun and flirty but I don't think I would wear it to work. In hindsight looking at the photo I look pregnant (and I am not!)  Beware, there are 5 small buttons on each sleeve and they were very difficult for me.  If you're bad at buttons, make sure you have someone to help.  I think the dress is more suited for a casual, daytime event and size down, there is plenty of give.

Nothing negative to say.  Plenty of compliments.  Flawless fit.  Love it.

Beautiful dress and I got compliments all day!  There is definitely no give in the waist as its zip up so if unsure order up.  I loved the subtle "diane" written in the polka dots.  Length appropriate for work.

Flowing sleeves with button tight cuffs
Tad bit short
Lined
Great tie at neck


I loved the style and feel of this dress. Very conservative which made it ideal for work while being very feminine. 

So this dress is just a little small. I usually wear a 0, but definitely was thrilled I ordered the 2. I would not have fit into the 0. This was a great dress for work. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would -- Maybe a smidge matronly, but it was fine/cute and certainly work appropriate.
