I rented this as part of my unlimited subscription. I went back and forth on it because of the negative reviews posted. I finally decided to give it a try. As others stated it is a very odd cut/style. The dress is two pieces, the dress and a vest. The dress fabric is light-weight. I wanted something with the look of buffalo plaid but that I could where in the SoCal fall weather. The vest however is a thick, stiff fabric. There was no lining in my dress as it states there is and it's a bit sheer. I sized up based on other reviews. Dress was a bit large but vest piece was snug. I did not wear the vest. I ended up tying the dress in front. I think because it was too large on me there was too much fabric so it looked better that way. Tying in back was awkward as others have posted and caused the fabric to hang strange and unflattering. Overall, I am happy I gave it a try. I wore it twice to outdoor fall events and received multiple compliments from strangers both times. 

Fit was true to size. I really liked the unique shape and flowy fabric. The tie in back helped ensure a good fit. loved it and would rent again.

I did not expect the front to be shorter than the back. I added a long skirt under. Cute and comfy for work. 

I accidentally ordered the XS in my unlimited order, which was too small, but I managed to get into it. The Small would have been perfect, but I didn't have time to send it back and get a new one for my vacation. The fabric and print is perfect. It has a vest like top that zips in the back that slims your figure. Would definitely like to rent this one again!

The fit was true to size, however, the bust was pretty tight, but I am a 36 DD.  The dress is a little different style-wise.  There is a thin button down, collard dress underneath.  Then there is a crop top (which is sewn in) that needs to be put on then zipped in the back.  This was the part tight on my chest, the rest fir perfectly.  With the help of my husband, he manged to squeeze me in and I was fine for the rest of the day.  I would rent it again.  Good for BBQs, a day at the track, or picnics.  

This runs very small. I was not able to zip up the back of the dress in the size XS. Would definitely size up for this dress. Besides that, the dress is super cute and flirty. There is a small cutout under the bust in the front and the bottom material is lightweight and airy. It's very fitted in the bust so I would highly recommend sizing up if you have a larger bust as well. 

This was a very unique style. It may be hard to see but the crop overlay is actually a zippered piece over the buttoned dress. Each piece runs small so definitely size up in this style. If I had the size small I think this would have been the perfect casual summer dress!

I rented this dress just for a casual everyday look down at the beach for a long weekend. I love the dress itself, color and style = amazing. I would say size up. I'm usually a small top but due to the fact that the top is layered and the over crop is a tighter material and isn't able to be removed from the dress slip underneath you may have trouble zipping it so next time I would get a Med. also the length is longer on the sides than the front and back which is super pretty but again: I'm 5'9 and so the back was super short on me - so the medium would have been better. The dress itself underneath fit very well and had that casual flowy beach look to it. 

Matching fitted top is attached to a flowing dress. Might be tight on girls with large busts
