I ended up keeping this one. I found it flattering. Only cons were that it was a little tight across my larger hips and it does wrinkle throughout the day. Still looks professional though. 

I ordered this in an 8 because I am 12 weeks pregnant and starting to show.  I normally wear a 6.  Even in an 8, my mini baby bump still showed a bit so I wore a jacket.  It was perfect and I will probably rent it again.

Comfortable material with slightly structured shoulders that gave the dress a unique detailing on an otherwise simple black dress. I prefer my work dresses to have a little room (instead of skin tight), which it did. Back slit was a little high but nothing unmanageable. Overall, pleased and wore more than once.

Professional and flattering in the full package. I loved this dress!

Wore this to meet a new client and to a funeral. Good length and fabric. The cut was a bit boxy for me but I had to size up to a 10 as that was all that was available. It still worked, but I wonder if an 8 or even a 6 would have been more flattering. The chest in particular was roomy and I'm a nursing mom (though still only a 36C). I also thought the neckline/shoulderline looked a bit odd (bulky?) but addressed this by making sure my long hair lay in front of it.

Loved the dress / wore it to work and my bros middle school grad after the work day. It held up all day and didn't wrinkle. Flattering and comfy!

I know I'm generally a 0 in Theory, and that was true for this dress. "Power dress" is right! I felt like such a boss wearing this at a trial prep seminar (practicing trial skills in front of judges and peers, so that power vibe was so needed!). This dress is really flattering. There's some padding in the cap sleeves that looks incredible, even on my fairly broad shoulders. The wool is comfortable and breathable, and has incredible stretch. I had no problem stepping up onto buses or walking upstairs during my commute. I felt good in this walking outside on a sunny 75° day and inside in air conditioning. This looked great with a cropped gray collarless blazer. This dress was a little snug on the rear, so I did opt to wear spanx underneath, but the stretch kept it comfortable anyway, so it did still work well on my pear-shaped figure. Love this! 

This fits beautifully, so much better in person than in pic. Lovely fabric weight, you can move in it and it doesn't run small at all like most theory clothes. I was able to sit, stand, and go from day to evening in this gem. 

I liked this dress, but ordered one size too big. It's also too long on my short frame. 

Felt like a million bucks in this, which is saying a lot for a basic black work dress. But it is super well made, high quality material with a flattering cut and just a touch of stretch. This will definitely be a go to rental for important work events or interviews. Goes great with a blazer, light jacket or even a cardigan. 

Dresses this long and straight usually don't look good on me, but this dress worked! It's the perfect dress to wear under a jacket because of the length. I wore this to work for an important meeting and I felt great!

There is a slit in back, which makes is easy to walk around. There's also a bit of padding on the top of the shoulders, which I think adds to the "power" look.
