Lovely Light weight sweater
Loved it, but it's a spring or fall weight, not warm enough for winter

Cosmo Mockneck Sweater
Rachel Antonoff
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38B
Soft and comfy
Liked this, but found it hard to pair with bottoms. The material is very soft, and the silhouette is great, wore it with jeans on a casual Friday but felt it needed fancier bottoms.

Nice heavyweight material
This was a great sweater dress that was heavy weight enough not to need shape wear.

Amazing sweater!
Loved the material on this... very sleek and not itchy. A fun and quirky sweater!

Great for travel- Light, cozy and packable.
Short on me (6'1) or I would have bought it. Doesn't work well with a backpack but looks great with a crossbody bag. Wore in subzero temps with a sweater underneath and was toasty warm.

Felt very stiff, did not wear
The fabric had no flow to it, which made the dress unflattering.

Loved it, but too small in the hips
I’m usually a 16 on top and 18 on bottom and took a chance on this because I loved the dress. Alas, it is a true size 16 in the hips. Top fit great and the material was beautiful, but I didn’t wear it.

Scratchy and strange color
Is it olive? Is it grey? I couldn’t get over the strange color and scratchiness. The fit was good and it’s a medium weight sweater that would work for early fall.

This was warmer than I expected. Loved the fit, but it was too hot to wear it out in August, and the beige washed me out.

Very light weight, deep V
Floaty and romantic! I loved wearing it. Worked great as a cover up at a pool party, but I didn’t have a bra that worked with it as a dress. The fabric is so light weight I wasn’t comfortable going without a bra. It has a built in slip from waist to knees.

I belted it with a wide belt to make it a little more flattering. The fabric is gorgeous, great light weight dress that can be formal or more casual.

Fit well. The waistband is very thin, so looked best with a belt over it.

Amazing for work
Very comfortable and professional dress, easy to layer under a white blazer but also to wear on its own since it has sleeves. I am short waisted and the belt hit me at an awkward spot, but otherwise it was perfect.

Get this dress!
Amazing dress, I wore it to work with a blazer and on weekends on its own. Very forgiving cut because the underlying dress has a drop waist but the self tie belt cinches in the waist.

Awesome dress, sticky fabric
I loved the fit and pattern on this dress, but gave it four stars for a few issues. 1) it had this tiny thread loops for a self-tie belt but didn't come with any belt. Tbh I like the line of it better without the belt and should have just cut off the loops. 2) the fabric is not cotton, but some synthetic that feels sticky and not very breathable in the heat. So though it looks like a summer dress, I think it would be better in spring or fall. Otherwise loved it.

Perfect for an early spring brunch and cookout. The pockets are great, and the dress is easy to wear. Very roomy, I'm usually an 18 and the 16 fit well.

Lightweight fabric, very large in the chest
For me (smaller chested), the waist kept creeping up which made the v-neck gap. Very lightweight cotton fabric which holds its shape and doesn't drape. A solid top but not on my favorites list.

This was my go-to sweater for everything from work to weekend play dates. The material is soft and gorgeous, the fit was perfect (not cropped), and the fringe added a note of whimsy. I adored it.

Great color, great fit, poor construction
This is a lovely real wool sweater, very pretty design and color, but the seams aren’t sewed well and the neckline was unraveling. A disappointment to have such a nice material ruined by the workmanship.

Super warm
Took this on a trip to Canada and was super warm even at 0 degrees. Loved it and felt fashionable. One note- it was more cropped than I expected, but the deep, cozy hood made up for it.

Very stretchy, but not warm.
I thought this would be a sweater dress, but it seemed to be made out of pure elastic. Very comfortable to wear, but definitely not cozy and warm. Also, in places where it stretched out you could see through it, so consider a slip if you want warmth and modesty.

This was a great layering piece for dresses when I wanted to look fancy. Looks like a blazer, but the knit sleeves and thick felted fabric made it feel like a cozy sweater. Will definitely rent again.
