Great quality, warm for the winter.
Rented for a special Veterans Day event and wore it 2 additional times for regular work wear. Received many compliments and I loved that it is baby-bump friendly. Loved the vivid color and clean lines and length.

Fantastic coat for DC winter.
I ordered this as unseasonably winter temps came early and it is my new favorite coat for work. Received lots of compliments as it is nice thick wool with deep pockets and clean design lines with a nice dark blue satin, lint free, lining. I will check the price again because it is tempting to just buy it already :)

Size runs small
The dress is very structured and doesn't allow for any give or stretch, I recommend sizing/ordering up one size if you have broad shoulders are are larger busted or larger hips. Beautiful fabric and cut but was unfortunately unable to fit and wear it.

Nice dressy spring seasonal dress.
Loved the quality and layers made it figure friendly and I didn't have to wear my spanx, so it was super comfy and not constricting making it also good for summer...yes even a DC hot humid summer day ;)

Please size up when you order, this is not one that one can "Squeeze into" ;)
Do not think it runs big, do not size-down. The fabric is NOT very stretchy nor forgiving of panty lines, bra lines and semi transparent. There was no way I could have worn this out of my house...not even out of the bathroom after trying it on. 8o)

Nice summer rescue for hot days
Nice Summery pattern and cotton fabric is breathable for a DC summer day. I wore it twice and would have worn it again next week if I hadn't received so many compliments from coworkers. Easy to dress up with blazer, the slit is classy because it goes just above the knee. And also easy to dress down with sandals to pick up my toddler at daycare after work. Lovely, will rent again. :)

Looks different in person
I didn't end up wearing it for work, not even for the grocery store ;) Looked nice in photos online but when it arrived i realized the small flower pattern made it looked very "matronly" but the deep v-neck cut was too low-cut for work and the length was too long and bulky...if I owned the dress I would trim the fabric to knee length and use the fabric to make it a true wrap-dress for work.

It doesn't run big.
I sized down because I thought it ran big, and it ended up being too snug not flattering. If I rent again I will order my true size.

Good dress for travel or spring
I loved the dress and understated design, allowed me to try something besides my everyday all black work attire. Unfortunately it runs snug/slender/narrow width wise or maybe just didn't have much stretch in the fabric...I ordered my regular XXL/size 18 and it was a bit snug so I wore a lightweight cardigan over it to make more work appropriate.

Classically simple and classy with structured skirt
I wore this with a light cardigan for a cool spring work day. I liked the slightly structured skirt portion as it made it clean cut and with a bit of movement and not clingy. I wore it 3 times each time with different accessories, hosiery or cardigan and was complimented by the ladies I commute to work with.

Simple and classic cut
Wore this with a black blazer for work. I liked the pattern and simple cut so much that I rented one size smaller than I needed (size 16). I will definitely rent again to try the correct size ;) If the larger size fits better then I will likely be buying it :)

Love these, want to buy them for keeps within 5 minutes just trying them on!
These are flattering cropped fitted semi-stretch pants, the thick waist has some flex so it doesn't "dig in" during a long work day. They aren't prone to wrinkling so a great traveling pant. They can easilly be dressed up for work or dressed down to be more casual. I am going to try other brands by this designer as they are a new fave :)
