As everyone before me warned, there’s a major design flaw here.  Il not sure how this one got past the designer’s runway.  It simply needs a kick pleat.  It’s otherwise perfect.  

This dress is adorable and I loved the look but I couldn’t wear it while running errands because it narrows and tapers mid-calf. This means the range of each foot step is restricted by the circumference of the much narrower hem. I loved the way it looked, loved that it had pockets, loved the high neck and lower back collar, but the small steps were a tad annoying. While walking with my 3rd grader, my steps had to be smaller than my kid to avoid tripping from the tapered hem. Perhaps sizing up would have resolved this issue, but then I worry about how it would fall on the rest of my body. I also liked that the dress seemed to be brown and navy under some light and brown and black under other lighting. Very cute. Would rent again and possibly try the next size up. 

Loved this look for the fall! The stretch in the top allows it to be pretty comfortable. The only thing that bothered me was the hole at the bottom was really small. I had to walk weird/slow

I sized up to a large and I’m glad I did.  I definitely could have done a medium BUT I read the reviews and saw people said the bottom made it hard to walk.  The large solved that problem for me without adding too much bulk to the dress.  I’m 5’1” , 165lbs  I wear anything from an 8 to a 12. 
Length was good! 

Liked this WAY more than I thought I would. 

Great fall dress! Wore it to work. Super comfortable. TTS

I'm actually accidentally wearing it backwards in the pic lol. However very cute dress. Great for winter or chilly fall. Only thing to note is it's a column dress with no slit so can't spread your legs too far apart. I kept getting bound up when I was walking to dinner. 

I *thought* this would be a great dress for a work trip: conservative, comfortable, easy to pack. But it really was drab and boring and I had to hide it under an oversized coat to be okay wearing it. And that wasn’t even the worse part: it was impossible to walk in! The hem on the skirt has NO give, so you have to take tiny steps. Just pass on it.

This is the midi length tulip dress I didn't know I would need. Fabric is thick and comfortable with stretch all along the chest and arms. Balloon sleeves are adorable, pockets without bulk through the hip, and the cut of it is surprisingly flattering. Wore to a fall baby shower and received SO many compliments on this. Easy to throw on and make a statement, but WATCH YOUR STEP, lol! The cropped hem makes it hard to take a normal stride, so don't anything too active in this. I though about bringing it on a trip to Europe, but decided to return bc it's not comfortable to walk long distances in.

Would rent again, 10/10


super cute for fall. wore it with loafers - could easily have worn with sneakers.

I loved the slightly Victorian feel of this dress and ended up buying it despite the fact that it’s kind of tight-fitting. The colors and weight of the fabric makes it great for cooler weather. 

Fit is great for pear shapes. Channeling fall prairie vibes. 

I got a few compliments on this dress! It’s perfect for those damp fall days. Is very comfy! The bottom of the dress has no give so of you have a long stride it might not work for you. 

Love love love! The dress was perfect for work, going out during the day and night, and everything in between. The bottom hem of the skirt is tight so maybe not the best walking long distances dress, but so perfect otherwise. Would rent again. 

Thought this was flattering with the balloon sleeves and ruching on the chest! I didn’t know where to wear it though. 

I think this dress was different than I expected. It’s pretty thick. Not breathable. And the fabric doesn’t give at all. Hard for gals who take long strides like myself lol. That being said, it’s a beautiful dress. I was obsessed with the sleeves and the stretchy smock top part. Great for a dinner party or something, not for dancing or frolicking around. 

I rented this dress to wear to work and while it was very cute it wasn’t super functional. The neckline was super high riding and awkward. The leg opening was so narrow that you couldn’t take more than a half step. I actually had to lift my dress up to walk. 

Skirt area is straight cut- so not a lot of movement allowed. For me it cut my step off a bit so to walk stairs etc I needed to hold up the skirt.
