Tight in the bust for an hourglass frame. Paired with a purple Akris jacket for work event. 

I felt like a trumpet lily, a technicolor Marilyn. What can I say? I don't get out much these days and the Sundays we attend church I feel like I'm on the runway, lol. Anyway, I gained a smidge of weight due to summer travel so it was a teensy bit tight but not uncomfortable. I wore it with nude pumps and a pair of gold ginkgo leaf statement earrings. Kept it simple and let the dress shine. Orange is my least fave color...but I loved this. Serious Maisel vibes and POCKETS. Tempted to buy! 

I made the mistake of ironing but not starching this dress as you will see in the pictures. The orange color was flattering. The material is light which gives it a flowy feel and makes it perfect for summer or spring.

LOVE the color! It's a tangerine color in person that just exudes happiness. So many people have complimented it! The skirt is nice and full without any lining or underskirt. It fees almost like stiff nylon to the touch. It does hold wrinkles terribly, but it did not particularly bother me. Best for women with a smaller chest or a small chest to waist ratio. Was tight around the busy but a little large in the waist for me, but not terribly. And it has pockets!!! 

The fit was slight snug around my bust which could because of my weight gain. However the color was so vibrant. Received so many compliments at work. Will definitely rent it again. Interesting material for sure. I picked it up from the Chicago store. 

Dress fit true to size and has pockets which is always great. The material is very strange. It almost feels like you're wearing a well fitting plastic bag. 

Lots of compliments, felt beautiful, can't ask for more than that!

Internal monologue
My closet, 6:05 am EDT
Looking at dress on hanger
Huh.  It's very... orange.  And a little stiff?  I'll just send it back without trying it on.  I'll wear this navy blue sheath dress instead.  Just need to find some shapewear... ugh.  Shapewear.  I don't want to.  Maybe I should try on the orange dress?  Just try it.
*puts dress on*
I can always put a navy cardigan on to tone it down... but I kind of like it?  It's flattering.  Definitely don't have to wear anything restricting with it.  The skirt is fun.  I'm definitely wearing this today.  Oooh, it has pockets!  And it makes my waist look small.  I kind of want to keep it forever.

By the looks of the other photos I thought this was more of a linen dress but the fabric is like a taffeta and thick and structured. The shape and fit were fantastic and obv I loved having pockets. I got so many compliments on the color of the dress as it really stood out. I would definitely rent this again!

I love the design and color. The flared skirt was fun and made more of a statement. However, I wasn't prepared for the material...it's like rain coat fabric. More plastic than fabric feel. I cld make do with the material, however it wrinkles really easily. I'm not sure how I'd feel in this dress on a hot day, doesn't seem very breathable. Overall, I'd wear it again but I'd be choosy what event this dress wld feel appropriate for.

I thought his was great for work perfect length on a 5'6 frame- a bit tight tin the bust but otherwise just so much fun. 

Nice fabric, cute silhouette for work, pockets (!), would rent again 

Rented for work - this dress is great for summer. The skirt is very big - so beware of that - it is however a great length if you are tall. Top part is very fitted. Will def rent again

I wore this dress for Mother's Day Brunch. I paired it with a tan trench, some leopard heels and my LV stevie (I posted two pics, one with the coat, and one of the dress). I absolutely LOVED the fit of this dress. It seemed to hug my body just right. I could wear a normal bra and there was no shapewear necessary. The material is very weird. It's almost like a rain coat material. It worked out well for me, since my son spilled milk on me at brunch and it rolled right off. I actually wore this dress AGAIN to work on Monday and threw a white blazer over it. I am going to keep note of this brand, because it worked very well for me. 

I was planning on wearing this dress at work, but...
The skirt is fuller than it looks in the picture so it would have been too much for an day look.
My body frame is petite and the dress looked overall too long on me.
Due to the fabric, it arrived very wrinkled. If it had fitted me, I would have had to iron it before going to work.
The neck line is amazing.
I might rent it again, but only for a more formal occasion.


I rented this dress for fun since I loved the orange color and wore to a brunch and dressed it down with sneakers. It is definitely a delight to wear but color could have been a bit stronger and there is a small slit in side that opens when twirling (and this dress was made for twirling!) so that was a bit of a bummer. Overall was fun but probably wouldn't rent again.
