I’m surprised this dress got some negative reviews.  I think it’s so unique & would work for a lot of different body types.  It’s clearly not a work dress but for any other Winter or Fall occasion (except maybe church) I think it’s perfect.  I would normally never wear a drop waist but this is an exception.

It does run big as others have said.  I’m usually a size 6 but I’m glad I ordered a size 4.
* If you rent this keep in mind there’s a zipper on the side near the hip.  It’s kind of hard to see and without opening it, the dress may tear if you try to force it on.

The for of this worked really well for me and made my waist look tiny. Yes the keyhole required me to wear a tank underneath but I thought it looked great. Winner for sure 

Beautiful, elegant with a splash of sexiness but not too much. Love this dress so much. I wear it to work and got so many compliments. I know some people complain it's low cut but I just use a little safety pin to fix that issue. When I go out at night, the low cut adds right amount of sexiness. I ended up buying one. Best purchase this year. 

This fit me well. It's often hard to find sleeves long enough- these were. Dress is unlined and made of light material. Would work well for a shoulder season.

Sorry for the Pom photo bomb. 
Great dress good quality. All of the reviews were right. The top is low cut, requires a cami to make it work appropriate (in my job). 

I loved this for work. Got a ton of compliments. I wore a tank under due to the deep v neck. 

The dress moves well while walking. I received many compliments. The top portion of the dress is long (like for someone with a long torso) and roomy- needed to wear a cami for the office. ! I enjoyed it and am glad I rented it.

I normally wear a size 4 or 6 in a dress. Equipment brand runs a full size too big. I returned the 4 and got a size 2 which fit perfectly. The fabric is light so better for spring. Arms were still too long but I tuck them in. The waist hangs low which flatters my long torso and thin waist.

Rented this for work. I was so low cut I couldn't wear it. 

This dress was great except it was cut really low in the front. It would be great if it had a little hook in the front. I made it work, and enjoyed wearing it. 

I confirm what other reviewers have noted about the terrible fit in the torso area.

Fits very well. Made me look skinnier. Nice. Fabric. Very casual chic. I used for work.

Wore this for Easter- no wrinkles, was comfy and length good with no tan yet! 

Very flattering.  Wore it well and received many compliments.

I usually like a shorter dress, but this looked great & fashion forward.  Wore a bandeau to hide deep opening at front-worked we'll.  Runs a bit large, but liked the look.

Pretty cute dress.  Loose and flowy.  Needs a cami for work.  Won't work if you have thick wrists but overall was stylish and fun to wear.

Comfortable, flattering, well made and just an overall beautiful dress!

I really liked this dress and kept it two months.  Looked great with pumps or knee high boots.  The keyhole is exposing but I simply work a white or black lace cami underneath.  I normally wear a 6 but wore a 4 based on other reviews.  I would rent this again.

Fit great. Incredibly flattering. Top button hard to button. 

Dress had lovely button details and in a flattering A-line that would look good on many different body types. 

I loved wearing this dress. It was so comfy and very flattering. 

Fit my long wasted torso great; length at calf was perfect

Loved the free flow of the dress and the tapered waist. One con were the buttons.  I found them challenging and not easy to slide in and out of the loop.  Other than the buttons I contemplated buying this dress!


Runs large; better fir longer torsos. Missing button on left sleeve but otherwise great. Would rent again

I love the fit, except for the bunching up in my back.

Dress packed well, didn't wrinkle. Good fabric. Had a nice flow to it. Able to wear the top button on or open. 

Very pretty print and a fun, eye-catching cut. Runs a little big - I'm normally a 4/6 and the 4 was too large. One thing to note, the keyhole dips fairly low. I had thought this would be a good work dress, but after trying it on, I think it's more of an evening/date night look than work-appropriate.

Felt very comfortable in this dress and felt like it was very flattering.

I love Equipment, this dress is low cut, tape helps, pattern and shape are beautiful. 

This dress had significant pros and cons.  I bumped it to 4 stars because I would wear it again (in a smaller size), but there are some things to be aware of...

Pros: the print is really cute.  There is a lot of interesting detail in the cut -- the sleeves, the hemline -- and combined with the print make this dress feel really stylish.  I enjoyed wearing it and felt confident in it.  I wore it to a work dinner, and felt like it was exactly the right mix of professional and stylish with zero frump factor.

Cons: I felt this dress ran large -- I typically wear a 4, and I could have sized down in this (which made it a little less flattering than I might have liked).  I found the cut very low -- you could see my bra (even when buttoned) -- I fixed this with fashion tape, but it took a while to get right.  The button at the neckline is REALLY HARD to fasten/unfasten.  I was worried I would break it, and it made getting the dress off and on more challenging.

Other reviewers recommended that I size down, so I went with a 6 instead of my usual 8. It was flattering and fit well, but not in the drop-waste style pictured on the model. Maybe selecting my actual size would have helped. That said, I almost prefer the way I wore it, with a more fitted, natural waste and slightly blousy top. I also pinned they key hole. 

It runs a little small around the waist.  Also, had to wear a cami because the keyhole in the front showed to much cleavage for work.

I rented this again as it's so easy to wear and a pick me up color for winter/ needs a cami underneath.

The opening is too low so I had to wear a black tank underneath. The upper half seems to be made for a longer torso but the waist and and bottom is true to size. I liked it but the fit wasn't perfect.
