Perfect bag
It would be nice if the strap was a little longer, or adjustable. Still - it is beautiful, and considering its size - it holds so much! Loved this for the soccer sidelines!

The other reviews are right!
This is a beautiful, heavy, thick dress. I wore it with a jacket for a work function and it was really beautiful. HOWEVER, the straps are just too long. I had to pin the in the back so my bra didn't show. It was a bit frustrating because the dress is otherwise beautiful and very flattering.

Definitely size down in this one. I ordered my usual size and it was unwearable. Plus, the inner lining is like faux sheepskin so it's not cozy like I thought it would be, or flexible.

Great idea - Restrictive arms
The dress is very beautiful and flattering. I sized up, after reading reviews about the "tight arms" and it didn't help. The cap sleeves were so tight and had no give - it made it difficult to move my arms, which isn't great for a night of fun.

It's a no from me, Dawg.
This Tory Burch had all the makings of a beautiful dress, just like the very similar black and blue version. However, this one is a totally different material and is SO unflattering. It's a stiff cotton almost and just doesn't work.

The style is meant to be oversized and it probably wasn't super flattering but I LOVED this. The color is gorgeous, it's very comfortable and I felt beautiful on a rainy cold Fall day wearing this with tall black boots!

The arms are TOO TIGHT
The dress probably would have fit and looked nice but the bands around arms were TINY. I couldn't even get them on. I am 99% sure I don't have muscular or large arms.

Too large
The dress was beautiful and looked perfect for WFH - COVID-19 style, but it was way too big. I sized according to the chart but it was at least 2 sizes too large.

Interesting style - Too small!
This is an interesting style and would be great for work but I found it was just too small. I sized up and was still uncomfortable with how fitted it was. Perhaps going up 2 sizes would work better, although I fear the top would be too large. A miss!

Great Dress!
Loved this and it was very flattering. Definitely skimmed right over any problem areas. My only tiny tiny complaint? The accents on the sleeves are actually metal. I wore this on a very cold day and these little metal pieces were FREEZING cold against my skin all day long... :( That said - it's adorable with black tights and booties and I will definitely rent again!

Gorgeous Dress!
Loved this KS dress! Beautiful design and style. However, due to the fact that the entire back was smocked, it ran a bit large and wasn't the most flattering. I felt it stuck out a bit and made me look wider. I will definitely size down next time and see if that can be fixed. Otherwise - it's a beauty!

Love this dress!
It is a tad bit long. I am 5'8 and have to wear pretty sizable wedges but the fit is SO flattering and I get compliments every time I wear it (which has been many times). It really works for so many occasions but I mostly wear it on casual Fridays at the office. It is soft and thin and works well in hot weather.

Style was different!
I loved the style, the pattern and the length. I hated that it was fitted throughout the entire body of the dress and then flared lower down. A couple of kids later, my stomach is not as flat as the model shown! BUT even though I felt like this wasn't a flattering look for me, I got lots of compliments so I am solidly torn!

Beautiful!
This is a very beautiful dress with fun details. It will be perfect for the summer. The only downside, it runs very large, at least one size large. The straps are not adjustable so there is no way to remedy it. I am a true 12 and the large was unwearable. I plan to order the medium and see if that works.

Loved the cut as well. IMO, all LK Bennett dresses run slightly large and this was no exception. I was worried that the scrunching at the waist would make this look like a maternity option but it was very flattering.

Didn't get a chance to wear
Because we didn't have the right weather (thanks, Missouri). The dress is beautiful, different and fun, but I would not have been able to wear it without a shirt underneath. The straps are too long and there is no way to shorten them.

Super flattering
I sized up and didn't need to. The sizing runs pretty consistent with other dresses by LK Bennett, which I think are a tad on the big side (or at least in terms of designer dresses!) This dress could be a simple LBD but the subtle details make it stand out. A woman at a gas station stopped me and RAVED about the details. It's very flattering and beautiful. Rent this!

This is one of my favorites in a while. The cut is very flattering, with the fit and flare and the sleeves. The pattern was a little bold for me but I loved it and felt pretty all day.

I sized up on this one since it is "fitted" and I dont like to wear things too tight. It was low cut (apparent by the pictures) but very beautiful and I think still work appropriate.

Odd Tie at the Waist
I am not sure how flattering this was due to the tie at the waist which is NOT in the pictures shown. I wore it tied at the back so it couldn't be seen. If I owned this, I would have cut them off. Despite that, it is a very beautiful dress and perfect for vacation.

Very cute but didn't wear
I am ALWAYS a 12 in this brand, which is one of the things I like about Shoshanna. This dress was a very cute style but was shorter than expected (the flounce may have made it appear shorter) and the material is very thin. Sizing up may have helped but this dress showed all the flaws of a size 12 mom bod.

Definitely Different!
Everything that the other reviewers have said about this dress is true! It is a fun 70's style thats definitely different. The bottom part of the dress is tight, so you have to shimmy it up to use the restroom. I wore a strapless bra with it because the shoulders narrow a bit and otherwise my straps showed. If its your style, give it a try!

Beautiful and Flattering
I found this dress beautiful and flattering but felt it was HUGE on me, which is pretty typical for Vince. I will definitely rent this again but will try the next smaller size. It still looked nice with a cardigan and nude heels for work.

Pretty - Too low cut for me
The dress is beautiful and I felt it was TTS. Unfortunately, the straps were a tiny bit long (they are not adjustable) which made the front very very low. This would be okay but I planned to wear it to the office with a jacket. It might work on date night but not for my intended wear.

Beautiful Pattern - Runs Small
The top part is fairly low cut so a jacket was necessary for work. The bottom part flies open when you sit or walk. I felt it ran small too so definitely size up if in between. My husband liked it and the pattern is beautiful but I won't rent again.

This is a very beautiful dress with a nice soft fabric and a unique drape. I was unable to wear it, however, because the Large didn't button over my 36D chest. I am sure it is beautiful on a smaller person!

I loved this dress. The color is so beautiful and the cut is flattering. It was big on me but that's because I don't know what size I am :) If you are between sizes, size down. This will definitely be one that I rent again in the Spring and Summer.

Slightly large - I didn't wear
The dress is large and overall, wasn't flattering for me. The tie-waist was very low and when cinched, just didn't look right. Plus, the slit on the leg was very high and the top was just BARELY held together by a tiny button, leaving a large possibility that it would gape open. I wasn't impressed.

Close to Perfect!
The pattern was beautiful but everything was just slightly off. The shoulders were a tad too wide, the dress was a tiny bit short (I'm 5'8 and wore it with black opaque tights) and the V was a tiny bit too low cut (for work, anyway, my husband loved it!) I loved wearing it but won't rent it again.

Beautiful - (Gray - Not black)
In every photo this dress looks black - but it's definitely charcoal gray. Cons-It's too short for me to wear without opaque black tights. I'm a pretty solid size 12 and the large felt too small. Pros- The style is absolutely beautiful and with the stretch, it was pretty comfortable. I got compliments all day.
