I am 112 lbs and 5'2". I wore a size XS and it fit perfectly, not too loose and not too tight. The material is thick and stretchy, so it will hide rolls well. I didn't even need to wear a bra. It is a little hard to lift my arms without lifting the top flap, so don't wear this if you like to dance. The dress was the perfect length, right above my ankles. Very classy dress, I felt super classy!

Perfect, comfy, and easy to dance in. Fitted but not too tight. 

Very comfortable ribbed knit.  Looked great. 

This dress is stretchy and soft and look chic and stylish. The classic cut and black make it easy to dress up, even if the fabric in on the more casual side. The stretchiness accommodated my growing baby bump at 4.5 months pregnant. I recommend for a slender silhouette.

Material was very form fitting but incredibly comfortable, stretchy, and flattering. Great for dancing at a wedding. True to size. Got lots of compliments! No complaints, would definitely rent again!

Fit was true to size,  Fabric was heavy enough to lie well and be comfortable.  Sleeves did slide up a bit but not horribly.  Received many compliments.  Would rent it again. 

Loved this dress. Fit well while 20 weeks pregnant. Very comfortable and stretchy. 

I rented a large and medium, both fit but ended up wearing large because liked the extra material on the sleeves 

I wore this to my baby shower at 32 weeks. I loved this dress. The ribbing is very slimming and from the front I didn't look pregnant at all. Lots of room to stretch. I would have probably ordered a L pre-bump too (I'm normally a 10). The shoulders didn't stay off the shoulder so I wore it off one shoulder and thought that looked nice. Really comfy, fashionable length. Highly recommend!

This dress was super flattering! Wore it to chaperone prom and for a nice dinner. Easy to dress up or down

Comfy stretchy material that was very flattering for my pear shape.

You could tell it's had some wear. Found a spot where the stiching on the side of the skirt was questionable (looser). Overall, it didn't have an impact on the fit and look. Best thing about this dress is that I didn't have to wear a bra. It held me in place very securely.  The silhouette of the skirt was flattering as well. It was a good dress for me as I've put on weight (wasn't too constrictive). 

I ordered this dress in a medium (my size) and a large. The medium was form-fitting, but remained extremely comfortable all night long. The large could also have worked if I wanted a looser, less body-hugging fit. This dress is elegant and flattering, and the knit fabric kept me warm on a chilly winter night. I didn't have any problems with the sleeves rolling up, as some other reviewers noted, but I felt the armholes were a bit large, which you can see somewhat in the photo. I would definitely rent this dress again! 

Loved this dress and received many compliments!  My only complaint that the "off the shoulder" sleeves kept riding up, but not even that annoying!

Great knit dress for an expecting mom (20 weeks pregnant). I would recommend sizing down if you prefer dresses that are a bit tighter on the bottom half as this falls straight from the hips. Note that the knit around the waist falls to the hips, so it may be too long for shorter girls. 

Fit well. Pros were the neckline and liked the length. Very flattering and form fitted. 

Loved the fabric and fit of dress
Only complaint was that the wrap sleeves had a tendency to roll up - felt like I was pulling and tugging on it all night.

I'm in a strange postpartum body phase, some things fit and some don't. Fitted waists are particularly hard. This dress was perfect for that!  You can also easily nurse in it. Soft comfy but still very put together. I added fun heels and a long necklace. The rib knit is a nice nod to Kate Moss of the90s - love that. I'm 5'2" and the length was maxi for me. 

I'm 5'9" and a size 10/12.  The medium fit but was very body conscious, the large was just nicely skimming. Lots of complements. Easy process. 
I would do this again.

I worked, brunched and had a night out in this dress. I had such a great use for it for several different occasions. I loved it so much I considered buying it but thought eh I'll just rent it again!  Tips and tricks: I would be wary about the slit if you don't like to show your legs. It's work appropriate until you stick your leg out. (I work in fashion so it was fine for me) I would not wear this dress if you're expecting to do any sort of movement that requires your upper body because the sleeves will come up. 

This dress was great! It is more of a thick sweater like material but it was very comfortable! 

Classic shape, and fun to accessorize - loved wearing this for Valentine's Day. I sometimes struggle with off the shoulder styles staying put, but the wide band felt secure but still sexy! It can tend to roll up in the back, so good to have a buddy or cute date help you out when you first put it on. Extremely stretchy fabric, and waistline didn't hit at my natural waist - I would have preferred an XS so it would be more form-fitting, but it was extremely comfortable and still fit well. I paired it with a fab Oscar de la Renta cocktail ring, and dangly earrings.

This dress was absolutely beautiful especially for a black tie optional wedding. I was under the impression it was tight all the way down but after your hips the material changes. It goes from right to loose. This made it very comfortable to dance all night. The one thing I didn't like was that I had to readjust my shoulders if I was dancing. The material would consistently  slip up . Overall it was great and would rent it again! 

I rented this dress for my engagement pictures, it was a little large, but i still really liked the way it looked on me. After seeing my pictures I loved it a little less. It has a pretty thick chord pattern that is hard to see in pictures. It came across looking just a little bulky. I think if i would have gone down a size I would have really loved it. 

This is one of the first dresses I wore more than once.  I accessorize with pearls and wore it to Capitol Hill and a High Tea.  Tons of compliments.  It was New with tags when it arrived. 

I received so many compliments on this dress.  It hugged without looking odd, was not overdone but perfect for a party, and it was too comfortable to feel as if I was in a cocktail dress.  I loved everything about it.
