This dress is so easy to wear and flattering. The fabric is heavy and doesn't wrinkle. It looks great with or without tights and goes with lots of different shoes. I like to roll up the sleeves, but they look good down as well. this dress works well to transition between seasons too.

Busting out
The dress was overall comfortable and easy to wear. The fabric is pretty heavy and it doesn't wrinkle. I don't have a huge bust, but I could not keep the middle button closed.

Silky and chic- those side snaps though
This would have been the perfect dressy office dress, but those three snaps on the side are useless. I gave up keeping them closed by the time I got to work and just held down my left arm to cover the gap. Otherwise the fabric is lovely and the fit overall is very nice. May have run a little bit large.

Short!
This looks so cute on other people, but it just didn't work for me. It was way too tight and short.

Felt crooked
This was just not the dress for me. The material is very thick and because of the intentionally off center design it felt out of whack. It was also very tight. I couldn't even zip it all the way up.

This is a beautiful and flattering dress. Unfortunately, the bust was too tight so I will order again one size up.

Pretty but wrinkly
This is a really pretty dress, nice and light for summer, but it started out wrinkly and even after ironing I think it would get wrinkled immediately. The pockets also bulge out and would need serious ironing to lay flat. It's a shame because it's such a pretty pattern.

Sleeve detail is awkward
I wad so excited for this dress but it ended up being too big. Regardless, I’m not sure I could have made it work because the detail on the sleeve was bulky and sat strangely. The fabric and pattern are lovely, just wasn’t a good fit for me.

Very thin fabric, not forgiving
I liked the pattern on this, but I couldn’t pull off the long slinky look. The fabric is very thin and shows every bump.

Cool dress that looked better on the model
The dress is good quality although I found the fabric a little stiff and scratchy. It would have been ok to wear except the top part was super short- I have a longer torso so it ended up looking like a crop top that was connected to the skirt part.

Easy to wear, sleeves kinda boring
This is a nice dress that is silky and light. I didn't wrinkle and the fit was forgiving. The only thing I didn't like was that the sleeves are kind of boring and boxy compared to the rest of it.

Fun dress for transition between seasons
This is a cute dress with some nice touches like the belt and the ties on the sleeves. It would have been too short without tights so I was glad it was still chilly enough to get away with that. Is a thick cotton so it needed ironing and it was a little stiff. I liked it when I first put it on but I was glad to take it off at the end of the day.

Easy and cozy sweater dress
It was a little bit itchy but super easy to wear. It's a thick sweater fabric that doesn't wrinkle and doesn't cling. I wore it for a bunch of stuff and kept it through three rental cycles.

Modestly sexy
It's very comfortable, doesn't wrinkle, and even though it seems conservative with the high neck and long sleeves, it's just body con enough to be a little sexy.

Comfortable!
Very comfortable and easy to wear for work and errands. Forgiving fit, maybe not the most flattering on the waist and definitely needs some zhuzh with a belt and jewelry, etc. overall a solid workhorse dress

Fun and flattering!
This dress is so cute and fun! The top is heavy material but stretchy and lays nicely. The skirt is also thick but holds its shape well. I didn't find it itchy like others have said. It's definitely on the short side.

This was a lovely, flattering dress. The V wasn't too deep. The material isn't luxe, it's even a little rough, but it drapes nicely.

Floppy shoulder
This dress was very elegant and chic. The material was surprisingly forgiving, even though it was thin. The pattern is lovely. The ruching was very strategic. The problem I had was with one shoulder that just didn’t sit right. The material bunched up and flopped over.

So short and tight!
I ordered a size up because I had a feeling it would be short, but it was tiny all over, except for the voluminous sleeves. I couldn’t zip it all the way, and it barely covered my crotch. I was disappointed because it looks like such a cute dress.

Nice for the office. Big shoulders.
The dress was pretty and cute enough for the office, but the puffy sleeves made me feel like a linebacker. Also, the material didn’t feel high quality.

Fun
I had to get an extra large because that’s all that was available, but I think I could’ve actually gotten away with a medium. It’s a very lightweight material and runs big. It was comfortable and fun to wear, but I was constantly pushing up the sleeves. I’m going to try it again in a smaller size.

Weird fit in the arms
I read other reviews warning about the arm situation and they were right. It’s a great dress with such a pretty pattern. I did wear it to work once, but the arm holes made me a bit self-conscious so I wore a sweater over it. And it’s true that you really can’t lift your arms in it.

Really wide and flowy
I love a flowy dress, but this didn’t work for me. The top was kind of tight and it billowed out out so much it felt tent-y. It also felt a little too short for work. The pattern and color are pretty, but it wasn’t the dress for me.

Frumpy on me
This dress just didn’t look great on me. The material hung kind of loose even though it was technically the right size. I really wanted to like it but couldn’t make it work.

Super tight in the chest
This was such a pretty dress- it’s a beautiful color and well-made. Unfortunately, it was too tight on the chest for me to wear. I don’t have a huge chest, so it was surprising and kind of a letdown because I really wanted to wear it. The dress fit fine everywhere else.

Utilitarian cool
Something about this dress felt very Rosie the Riveter, but in a “suitable for the office” kinda way. The material is substantial and flattering. Pockets were perfect. It’s a simple, straightforward dress that was just so easy to throw on and accessorize. I wanted to keep it!

Easy to wear!
I loved this dress and wore it multiple times to work and a conference. I ironed it when I received it, but it didn’t wrinkle much from wearing. It’s lightweight, but still has structure. The pockets were a big plus.

This is definitely a summer dress- perfect for a hot day! I added a skinny grey belt to tie it together.

You’ll get noticed wearing this!
You can’t be a wallflower in this dress- it’s bright and vivacious. The fabric is thicker than I thought it would be, but not overly heavy for summer. The shoulders did feel a little bit big, but not like a football player. The skirt pretty much goes straight down and doesn’t flare out that much. The belt is wide and substantial so you can get a nice tight tie around the waist. Budget time for ironing before wearing!

Perfect summer work dress
Loved this. It was lite and easy to wear. Lots of compliments. The fabric was a little stiff, but it still had a nice flow. It still had the tags when I got it so I guess it just wasn’t broken in. Will rent again!

Vibrant color, needs styling
This is a great dress with lots of flattering features. The color is very bold & beautiful. The material is quite heavy, much better suited for fall or winter. It needs some styling touches to offset the brightness of the dress otherwise it’s overwhelming. I will try it again in the cooler months.

Elegant Dress, too heavy for summer
I like this dress, but I shouldn’t have selected during the summer. The fabric is somewhat heavy, definitely high-quality. The wrists were kind of loose so if I had worn it, I might’ve had to pin them together so they didn’t sag down over my hands.

Work wear but take it up a notch
I love this dress! It was fun and unique for work, not the typical office wear, but still professional. The skirt is long and billowy, which is great for standing up and walking around, but it was a little tough when I was sitting at my desk. POCKETS!
