Everything is great about this dress. Cute little bow on the back up by the neck. Little ruffles on sleeves. Fitted on the top but flared out and flattering bottom. So easy 

I rented this for my monthly update and loved it. It was on the shorter side, so even with tights and flats I still felt a little risqué at work. It is a wonderful dress and is super figure flattering!

Great length where I could dance without worrying. Stretchy and forgiving fabric - very flattering. Loved it! Wish I could keep it. I got a medium and it was just right. 

Great dress with a thick material that can be worn in all seasons. It's a touch shorter than I would have liked, but it didn't stop me from wearing it.

Great fabric that allows for just the right amount of stretch. 

Very comfortable material and loved the pockets for this dress!  I wore pantyhose with the dress with some simple black heels.  

Very flattering dress, and stretchy in all the right places. This is a dress that you could wear for many occasions, and is the PERFECT LBD, with pockets! I loved it so much I wished I could keep it!

Great fit. Super stretchy which made it comfortable and easy to move in. Loved having the pockets as well!

I want to buy this dress! Fun, cute, perfect little black dress.

This dress doesn't have a zipper, just pulls over the head so I opted for the medium! It can be a little short in the back, but I wore tights under and didnt have a problem. It's a fun and flirty dress, would definitely reccomend!

I don't know how to say this without it being awkward, so I'm just going to get it out there - I rented this dress for my best friend to wear to a funeral, along with another dress for my myself to wear. She wanted something conservative but not plain, so she loved the little bow on the back and the flair to the sleeves. We tried on each other's dresses just in case... I'm going to admit that I put this dress on backwards because I thought the bow went in the front. (Whatever.) Our bodies are similar so you can check my stats, but she did wear a pair of spanx with this dress because she was bloated and she doesn't mind my honesty there. I'd say it's true to size. As a mom, she LOVED that it had pockets and I have been instructed to keep an eye out for this dress going on sale so I can buy it for her. Overall, her feedback is to rent this!

I wore this to a rehearsal dinner. It was very comfortable, and was perfect for the fall. The fabric was a nice weight, and I loved the accent on the sleeves. It's a little short as other reviewers have said, so I paired it with black tights and black booties. 

Rented it a couple of times already. So flattering and comfortable 

I absolutely LOVE this dress. Its fun and unique but still a great black staple dress. I wore this to work a few times while I had it rented because I loved it so much. I'm 5' 8" and the length was just right. I paired with tights on a colder day. 

I wore this to work with flats.  The length was perfect for my height (I'm 5"2 and have short legs).   It's stretchy and made of a cotton blend fabric so don't expect it to be formal-looking.  Would rent again!

This was much shorter than what I'd usually wear to work but given the long sleeves and conservative look I was able to pull it off with lower wedges. I felt cute and professional and it was also very comfortable. Pockets always a plus too. Wore well throughout the day and overall a great rental.

Bow on the back was a bit worn but not really a problem

This dress was very comfortable and fit great. It was a little bit short on me, but still generally long enough for work. 

Cute dress, totally work appropriate but also cute for after work drinks. Not a lot of stretch but liked it enough to purchase!

Loved everything about this dress. Fabric, fit - all of it! 

Classic Black dress with a great fit..Oh and the pockets are a game changer!!

The front pockets were great. LOVED that they were not on my hips, but more in front of my thighs. Should have choosen a small, but went with the medium. Lots of stretch. Great work dress. 

This was my backup dress but the second I put it on I was in love. Perfect length for someone who is uncomfortable with the mini length that seems to be the new norm but still sexy. The ruffle on the 3/4 sleeve is chic rather than cutsey so it's the perfect dress. Nice material with a good amount of stretch to kinda hold you in and forgive you for any bumps so it really is the perfect LBD for a work cocktail party at a country club.  I wore it with sparkly black shoes and hair up and compliments all night long.  Would recommend highly to anyone- I was sad to send this one back!

This was a nice little black dress that worked at work with tights. It was a bit short.  Us curvy gals know that a dress gets shorter when your boobs are bigger- kind of pulls everything up. So I think that is what happened here. It was ok with tights.

The fit was great. Love the sleeves was great for the ballet that I attended. The only con is the dress was a bit worn had a weird thread things in the back. 

I normally wear a size 2, and the small was too large/loose I thought. Made it look frumpy. It's made out of thick material, so it's a little warm for summer.

Fit great and super comfortable.  Better for a night out with friends or party.  Too short for work event.

Great little dress! The material is thick with a lot of stretch. The top is fitted and the bottom is generous - I found the dress to run large and wish I would have sized down (I'm a pear and carry all my weight on the bottom). It's on the shorter side, and I had to wear tights with it for work. Would be great for a cocktail party on its own. 

This dress was cute and good for everyday/work. I liked how the nice the material was; very stretchy but also thick and good quality. The top fit perfectly due to the stretchiness. The bottom had a great structure.  Many different body types could wear this dress.

I wanted to love this dress, but it just didn't work for me. The fit and flare style typically works well for my body type, and while it fit just fine on top, the bottom was more of a full/pleated skirt. If you're like me, with a fuller bottom and hips, proceed with caution. The skirt flared out a good bit, especially in the back, where it was even shorter. I rented this for my company holiday party, so it was a little too short for my taste. Had the skirt been a few inches longer or more fitted, it may have worked. I also thought the pockets were oddly placed, more like a hoodie than what you'd typically find on a dress. The bow in the back will also need steamed or pressed as it arrived bunched up.
