I rented this dress for a baby shower. It was perfect for a semi-casual, chilly January Sunday in New Jersey, but could definitely be worn in spring or fall! This is on my purchase wish list for sure! I did wear a shaper and overall the Large ran true to size. If I wanted to forgo a shaper, I would definitely rent the next size up. This one is going to be hard to return! 

I love this dress! So comfortable, flattering without being tight and perfect for going from day to night. I might buy it!

I absolutely love this dress. I wore it to weekend brunch with friends and felt fabulous. Also wore to work on casual Friday. 

Easy to wear, fun to style. Loved this dress. 

I actually liked this dress. It's just that for my taste it felt too short. Got lots of compliments though. 

Overall tight and short. But paired well with black tights and high boots 

I wore this with black tight and boots. It was very flattering 

Dress looked great with tights and boots!

24 weeks pregnant and it was very comfortable to wear. Fabric is thick and soft. Would have been even better with a belt to define the (disappearing!) waistline because it wasn't very tight. Loved it!

This is absolutely adorable with a beautiful shape and nice material. I just ordered it in the wrong season. It is really a summer item.

Fit me very well. Fitted in the bust and arms, slightly looser in waist and hips. Short on my curvy 5'6 frame. Great with tights and booties or flats and bare legs. Going to buy this to keep. 

I'm 5' 7" and normally wear a 4. I got a small and it's super cute but it's very short for me. When I sit down, the end of the dress barely covered. 

Not super dressy, but not too casual.  I wore it with an army green vest and with a long blank vest.  I was glad it wasn't a super tight fit.

The dress was great for running around during the weekend and getting some happy hour drinks.  The length was just right, the material was soft, and with a belt around the waist it showed off just enough curves. 

I sized up deliberately since I don't like a bodycon fit. I'm a size 6 and wore the size Large for a fairly loose but form-skimming silhouette. My shoulders are broad and this was just right. Length was mid-thigh (I'm 5'6") so a bit short for the office, but perfect with opaque black tights. It was ultra-comfortable!! I styled it with a black and red French Girl-type long, skinny neck scarf and black suede to-the-knee heeled boots. It also worked with black Chelsea booties and a jean jacket. Lots of compliments and I felt like a million bucks. I may buy this one...

I wore this several times (and didn't take any pictures, sorry!), to work, brunch, and a party. I was a little nervous about it being a shift dress, with my body type I like to have a tighter fit. But this dress was flattering while leaving some of my curves to the imagination. Everything fit well, but the sleeves were a tad bit tight. If you have bigger or muscular arms, you might consider sizing up. Also, at 5'2", I still had to be careful about making sure I didn't give everyone a show if I needed to bend over or cross my legs. 

I love the classic black & white stripes. The dress is a great fit, coming in at the waist to show off my figure without being clingy or tight. Perfect for work or date night by changing up accessories. 

Cute fit but the dress I got is very worn. The color was a dull white and the material looked old. 

I liked the dress fit was good, I run between 14-16 depending on brand and the xl fit good. I liked that it wasn't tight around my midsection. It was a bit too short for my liking. I'm about 5'8 and I needed tights to feel comfortable going out in this. 

Material is super soft, stretchy and almost pajama-like. Makes for a super solid fall dress. Runs true to size, but it is short. I'm 5'4, so I expected it to be just a little above the knee, but it's pretty much as short as I can imagine wearing comfortably as an everyday item. Add tights, this is less problematic.

I felt like I had to keep tugging it down all day despite it not riding up, it was just simply too short on me. I liked the fabric, very soft. The horizontal lines weren't as unflattering on a size 16 as you'd expect but it didnt accentuate curves as much as I'd like. I think I could try this again with black tights and boots to take away from being on the short side.

If your arms are normal and larger build size up a size. If your arms are lean or lanky stay at your size. 

The dress was a little short for day or work wear but with leggings or tights in the winter I think it would be perfect. 

As far as the dress there was a lot of pilling on mine so I just wore it this weekend and returned. The dress is very cute and I think flattering for many women. 

Nothing too special but pretty cute and very comfortable for lounging/traveling. 

Nothing too special about this one.  Cute work dress.  It was a little loose, but I didn't mind it at all.  Just more of a boxy shape anyway.  Would rent again for work. 

This dress was so comfy. I love that you can dress it down with chucks or flat or throw on some booties or heels for work or GNO. Really versatile and a great length. 

Super cute and fitted on top, with a looser fit on the lower stomach and thighs, but OMGOSH is it short! Like, no butt coverage when I sat down and I'm only 5'5. I probably could have sized up but I was worried since I'm more pear shaped that my top wouldn't fill it out.
It would probably be okay with opaque tights but I was hoping to have a cute summer casual dress for 70s weather.

I'm athletic built and usually a solid size 2 but this was extremely tight through the shoulders and arms which made it creep up too short

Pros : good material, interesting neckline (boat neck in front, small v-neck in back). Great length - short but not inappropriate. Cons: WAY too tight in the shoulders and chest. I'm an XS/S and the S was way too tight. It was also a bit tight in the hips, which left some weird extra space in the waist. Did not fit like most other sheath dresses. May be best for people with small frames / not a lot of curves. 

It was not flattering at all. It was tight on the arms but loose on the body.

It wasn't as formfitting as the picture suggested. It looked like a t-shirt. Definitely too short to wear without leggings!

Rented for a versatile work piece. Was so short that I could not weat.

Cute dress. I couldn't wear the small because of the tightness in the chest area. I am a 36 B and it was way to tight. 

I am in my second trimester and searching clothing that is bump friendly and second trimester. This was neither. I'm normally a size small in dresses and it fit like a shirt and was incredibly uncomfortable. I think even if I weren't pregnant, it still runs pretty short. 

I love showing leg. Most of my dresses and skirts hit mid-thigh and I'm comfortable with that. This dress hits upper thigh. If I raise my hands up, this dress becomes X-rated quickly! Tights are the only way to wear this dress, for me, especially in the winter months. I was so looking forward to Saturdays in this dress.

This dress left my backside barely covered (I'm 5'7"). It would be cute with leggings in the fall, but way too short for me to wear on it's own in the summer (I'm a HS teacher and tend to dress a little more conservatively lest I run into one of my students) . Fit was super cute though.
