I love a novelty print, and was so excited to try this adorable dress, but ultimately the fit was all wrong for me. It was inappropriately short for me and strangely tight. I think that my main disappointment comes from the quality of the fabric- it isn't as flattering or comfortable as I had hoped. It's a bit crunchy and stuff. The print is super fun, though, so if you are shorter this dress could still be a huge win! I might try sizing up and hope that it adds enough length for me to wear.

So I love that this is a fit and flare, it's very flattering on my curvy body shape. One challenge is because I'm shorter (5'4") it does bunch a little on the top. It'd be perfect if I was 5'5"!  I love the print and feel like I can wear it casually or to work. The print is fun but with traditional colors.  For reference I'm 5'4", 36DD and 155 lbs and am in a size 12.

I wore this to a Kentucky Derby party and got TONS of compliments. It is a really great cut, and the print is adorable. The fabric is stiffer than I thought it was going to be, but it kept the skirt big and ruffled throughout the night even after sitting down. I am a true size 8, and it fit perfectly! Would definitely rent again!

So much to love: 1) Starchy, sturdy quality fabric; 2) Cute front overlapping flap; 3) Not TOO short for a professional function; 4) Excellent tailoring on the chest -gentle curve neckline, not too low; 5) Armholes just right, not gaping showing bra as some dresses do; 6) Pockets!; 7) VERY unique print! Swans! with tiny details and color of eyes and beak and water ripples. I wore it to the Danish Embassy's Constitution Day for a nod to "Ugly Duckling-Swan" story by HCA. For this occasion, I wore a petticoat under it to give it a little flounce and texture, but other days I wore it to work just as is.

Don't eat a big meal in this dress!! Lovely pattern and well tailored. The zipper was a hot mess. 

This dress is super cute and the print definitely stands out. My only issue with it is that the material is super stiff with zero give, so if you eat a lot there's definitely no room! Also, the material wrinkles pretty easily. Overall, I liked it.

I wore this for my 30th birthday brunch and it was my favorite rtr rental ever! I loved the pattern and pockets and it was a flattering fit. I got so many compliments,  I wish I could buy it! 

So right off the bat: 10 points for pockets! Otherwise, the dress was just okay for me. The print is clearly fun, and I did receive some compliments on it, but the fabric wrinkled a bit throughout the work day and the ruffled skirt just wasn't crazy flattering on me, and the chest was oddly baggy even though I'm a solid 38DD and I never have that issue.

So cute! The waist was a little high/tight so the dress rested high in the shoulders (see gap). Needed to encourage it to rest further down in my body. HAS POCKETS! Also the print and cut are perfect!

Hard to show personality in a business office. This dress does that for me though, quirky but professionally cut that you can wear it to a big company office.  Fits TTS, the flapped skirt is heavy enough fabric to not fly away in the wind and the dress breathes so you don't get too hot.

One of my favorites! It has pockets, it is super comfortable and pretty. It is the type of dress that the moment you put it on, you feel happy! Thinking about keeping it! 

Loved the fun print and silhouette! Also had pockets which I always find useful. Lots of compliments and would totally rent again! Good room in the bust and work appropriate neckline. 

I absolutely love this dress would have bought it if it was just a tad longer.. it's short so if your taller be warned!!

This dress is just amazing; I wore it to work and within 4 mins going down a hall way I got 5 compliments.

Seriously love it. 

So sweet and special. Made me feel happy all day. Very flattering and has POCKETS!

Super fun. I loved it immediately because the fit was absolutely perfect for me. My bust felt supported and my waist felt perfect even though I am not so thin. I would get a week's worth of these in solid colors if I could and needed to wear this type of item for work often. Very professional cut and the wraps bottom was discreet. 

However, boyfriend thought the print was completely absurd and lightly teased about it all day. To be fair, the print was bolder than o expected.  

If you like animal prints and have a large bust with curves this dress should work for you and true to size. 

Fit great, super comfortable. Wore for a work conference and another day to work. Tons of compliments and felt great! Really loved the fit, but loved the pockets most! 

LOVED IT! It was so unique but I ended up wearing it twice to two totally different place with different people (awards luncheon and church) I got endless compliments each time. The print is fun and it fit me like a glove. I'm a 34D and the size 4 was a bit tight in the chest but it was ok enough to work around. I loved this dress and considered buying it but I felt like it's something people remember. I still hated to send it back though. 

Love this dress - would def rent again. Perfect for parties dates etc in summer 

If I could design the perfect dress, it would be this one. Perfect length, pattern, and details. I wore this for a vacation in Washington D.C. and easily went from day to night. Had no problem walking 11 miles in this dress either and received countless complements. 

I loved this dress. Fit beautifully, comfortable, flattering, and cute pattern. Lots of complements. Wore it to work and then to a baptism and brunch on the weekend. Would rent again.

The print and cut makes this one of my favorite rentals. It instantly makes me happy.

I received lots of compliments. It is slightly longer in the back, which I liked.  It is fitted in the waist, so if you're between sizes, size up. Also, even though it's navy, it shows perspiration, you may not even realize it! 

I loved this dress! I ordered the 6 and the 8 and ended up wearing the 6 to the engagement party I attended. It fit like a glove. The bottom of the dress is definitely flouncy and more voluminous than I expected, which made the dress more "party" that it looked in some of the other review photos I saw. If you size up, the dress could be more work appropriate because the full skirt is longer. If you wear your true size, expect a fun flirty and feminine dress that is quite flattering and comfortable. Would consider purchasing this one, it's cute and versatile. 

Got this to wear to work. Super cute print. I normally am a 4 but after reading reviews decided to go with the 6 and glad I did. Its a little big in the chest area but i don't think i would have managed to zip a 4 up. Its a cotton material and super cute on. Other than the irregular fit, i would rent it again. 

Perfect fit, fun ruffle and print. This was great for work with a white cardigan. 

I've been waiting right get my hands on Draper James and I was not disappointed. Super structured fabric with rich colors and great cut. Small issue in the hips for me as the pockets flared out a little on my pear shape. Overall great dress and will rent again. I'm a size 4 top and 6-8 bottom and ordered the 6. 

This dress was comfortable and true to size. I put a blazer over it to wear to work but it could definitely be worn for a fun spring or summer event. Got lots of compliments and I love that it had pockets!

Love the print!!! Even cuter in person! True to size and overall good and flattering fit.
