I liked this dress but did not love it. Was very pleased that the bust fit well (usually Draper James is too big on me in that area). A perfect toy nice dress but ultimately I was underwhelmed. 

I rented this for work and headshots. It read beautifully in photos and I was very pleased! This dress has pockets which is always a plus, and is just the right length. I would have preferred a 2, the 0 was a little snug in the chest but it worked!

I love the pattern and colors in this dress! I'm in between sizes and the app suggested I size down to a 10. It zipped up perfectly but it has absolutely zero stretch, so I found it to be a little tight in the chest and back when I moved. The dress looked a lot better than it felt--not the most comfortable--but a size 12 would have been too big. Probably not the best pick if you're bigger in the bust area, but still a fun work option!

Comfortable dress and perfect length for someone who is short. I sized up and got a 10, I'm happy I did. So many compliments from the office. 

I wore this dress to work (though it could easily be dressed up for a more formal occasion) and found it to be super comfy and fun to wear. The collar makes it casual enough for an everyday glam kind of vibe. I got SO many compliments. A stranger even stopped halfway on a crosswalk to tell me how much she loved it!
See all of my rentals and how I wore them on my YouTube channel (Pointe Boutique). 

This dress was so cute, classy and 
, super feminine. I am 4'11. Normally wear a size 2 this was a 4 due to unavailability. Both sizes would probably fit. Wore this to work and got so many compliments. Almost tempted to buy it.  

This dress was one of my all time favorites!!! Fits true to size, I didn't need to wear a bra with it because it held me in so well. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and got so many compliments on it! ALSO.. POCKETS. Wish I owned this!

I had been looking for an excuse to rent this dress for a while and it was perfect for a daytime wedding! So cute and so many compliments!

I rented this to wear on Easter which we were hosting--great hostess dress!  Super comfortable, great length, great quality and has pockets. I'm glad I ordered the size up from my normal size-ran small. 

Loved everything about this dress the color the fit the style everything! I got tons of compliments. I wore it to work but can easily be worn to a daytime event (shower, brunch, graduation, etc)   It is very cute and lightweight not hot at all. And the pockets were key for storing work badge. Definitely recommend this dress. 

I love this dress. Very comfortable. The strangest thing is that it doesn't fit correctly if I wear a bra with it, which took some figuring out. Besides that issue, this is one of my fave RTR's. 

The waist is a little big but nothing crazy. I love the color!

Wore this for a weekend at the beach with friends. Comfortable and great for day through dinner. Has pockets. The collar had to be ironed when I got it, had a tendency to flip up. True to size. 

A cute dress that I'll probably rent again

This dress was very cute for work but was cut very small in the chest. I am a small C and had to go without a bra so I could jam my chest into the dress. I still looked cute and got a lot of compliments

This is definitely one I'll be watching to buy!  The fit was true to size, fabric was high quality, and the design is just adorable. I wore this around on vacation to get coffee and browse shops in town. It's a great daytime dress. 

This worked well for work and the length is comfortable. The material is beautiful and the lace is not too stiff.  The dress fits and forgives.  This is one of my favorite rentals. 

It was perfect for this indoor sporting event! If you want to look cute, but not I’ve the top, than this is a subtle way to stand out. It has great texture, and I could have easily worn a wedge, but we were doing a lot of walking and I didn’t want to get too fancy. Plus, I was worried that the 6 wouldn’t fit because I’ve put on some lbs lately, but it fit well and even wore a belt to accessorize it!

I absolutely loved this dress! I'm usually between a size 6-8, but I went with the larger size just in case and it worked great. I would highly recommend!

I wore this dress to work and it was incredibly comfortable.
The colors are great, the sleeves allow for movement without being big, the collar is fun, and it has pockets! I had no issues closing the back zipper alone.
I will definitely rent it again!

Rent it again a year later!

This was such an easy dress for work. It was very comfortable and easy to move around in all day. Tons of compliments!

This dress is very comfortable and is unique looking. The colors are bright and the style simple. I received many compliments on this dress. Would order again. 

I wore this to my brother's graduation in Texas in June, and I didn't pass out from the heat. I felt cute and classy in this dress. My hips and waist are problem areas, but this was not unflattering. I'm honestly in love with this dress. Would wear it again and again. 

I normally wear a size 4 but the size 4 I had ordered was not available the day it was set to arrive. Fortunately the size 2 dress fit me and I wonder if the size 4 would have been rather baggy on me. The waist is very high on this dress., coming only a few inches below my bust line. I selected this dress as a backup to the event I was attending. Since I ended up wearing my first choice dress to that event, I opted to wear this the next day to see the blossoming cherry trees in my neighborhood. This was the perfect dress for such an occasion. 

In my mind it would be a great dress, but it made me look boxy. The lining is smaller than the dress so it stretched the pockets weird over my hips. That's the second time I've had hip issues with Draper James, which is disappointing. Im a size 4 top and 6/8 bottom and I rented the 6. 

I seriously loved this dress. It is just precious and the pockets are a fun touch. It is professional but still fun. The 2 fit great, although the 0 may have been fine too, but it wasn't available and I have zero patience. :) I would actually have kept this piece but I stepped on it with my heel and ripped the lace off the bottom in the back. My co-worker had to come staple it before I went on stage for a work event! I am hoping I can rent it again and buy it. :) 

Great lace dress. It's short-waisted (tall ladies, be aware!) but quite cute and flattering otherwise. Fun to wear to work!

Such a precious dress! Wore to a friends birthday brunch and it was too cute! Great demure style and the collar and colors make it super fun! 

This dress is so cute and stylish. It definitely runs true to size, and the dress has no stretch so order accordingly. I got many compliments on this and I definitely plan to rent it again! 

I wore this to my SILs baby shower and got so many compliments. I didnt think it ran small like reviews I read

I absolutely LOVE this dress! It fit like a glove, and was surprisingly comfortable! Perfect for #work or even a #wedding event! I would buy this in a second!

Work this for a meeting in the south - was a hit! Pockets were a plus. Somewhat challenging to zip up the back but easy to wear and super cute. 

Loved the design on this dress and the colors complimented my skin tone well. Gave me no breathing room as the day worn I was busy with an event. Still loved the way it looked on me and would rent again!

The lace on this dress is stunning, and the colors are so unique. I received endless complements on this dress when I wore it to work. Dress fits true to size, conservative length, and roomy in the waist to eat/move. I love the way Draper James fits, and the styles are always so feminine and slimming. Love!!! Will most likely buy 

I think it would be more flattering on a smaller bust, as the waist appears less fitted the larger the cup size.

Despite the fact that this dress was a tad too big around the waist for me, you couldn't really tell. I dressed it up for a bridal shower, but also wore it to work. Perfect for the fall when you still want to wear a dress that doesn't scream summer. Received lots of complements and in excellent condition. 

Wore this to work.   Very cute and stylish, but appropriately conservative. Loved the high cut neck with collar. A little tight across the chest and slightly constricting in the arms, but not bad. Even my husband commented specifically that he liked it...and he rarely notices my outfits.  Reluctant to send it back!

Overall, the fit was good. The dress was a little big in the chest and waist but it didn’t compromise the look at all. The length was perfect. I love the detail of the dress and the colors are perfect for fall.
