Loathed
I got my true size and it was enormous. I could look down the front and see the floor. The shoulders were huge and the sleeves covered my hands. There’s oversized and then there’s clown sized. It a cute idea but unwearable. Size way way down.

Too short and youthful
If I were young and hot, totally. But I’m 37 and all I could think was that the cutouts would make it easy to breastfeed. It’s a pretty pattern and cute style. The fit was true to size. Size down if between sizes because the bust needs to be tight to be secure. Shorter than I expected. Didn’t wear.

Unique
I wore this to an upscale restaurant in Vegas. You can’t see it on the model, but there a hook so the neckline doesn’t have to be quite so plunging. The ivory lace doesn’t have a backing, though. Areolae were absolutely visible. Fine in Vegas; not sure I’d pick this for date night in the suburbs. I’m a 10 and the M fit well. It’s one of those looks that’s so striking that if you wear it, you’re making a statement without having to do much for shoes or accessories.

Gorgeous and flattering
I wore this to a Michelin starred restaurant in Vegas. The cutouts made me nervous to rent, but ended up making my waist look smaller. It was the perfect mix of demure (sleeves, long skirt, floral) and sexy (deep V, cutouts). If I had more places to wear it, I would’ve bought it. True to size.

10/10
Gorgeous. Fit true to size. Stylish. I used boob tape to get everything where I wanted it, but could’ve gone without. (Double sided tape recommended for security.) The shortish length meant I could wear sandals. I wore it to a nice dinner in Vegas.

Fun but not a fav
It was fun and unique, but not a favorite. It fit exactly true to size and had no stretch, so if between sizes, size up. The back tie was cute but meant I couldn’t wear a bra, which gave me a pancake boob effect. It was cute to wear on a Saturday in the spring to run around town, but I wouldn’t rent it again.

Love
I’m a M/L in blazers and the M fit well. I have narrow shoulders and short arms and the M was great. I appreciated that this had a boxy, oversized fit but didn’t feel like I’d borrowed my dad’s blazer. It still fit a feminine build. Wore it to work and on the weekend with jeans. Tons of compliments.

Surprisingly wearable
Paper bag waisted vegan leather wide legged brown pants felt like a bold choice, but were surprisingly wearable. I wore to church and work with an ivory blouse, camel coat and black shoes (boots one day, loafers another). Fit true to size. Very comfortable. The belt was elastic and flattered my waist without being constricting. These aren’t pants you wear to look thin; these are pants you wear so other women will compliment your style.

Fun print, cute fit
Super fun, bright, memorable print. The waist tie is flattering and I liked the floaty sleeves and full sleeves. It's a deeper neckline, but not awkwardly so. I'm 5'5", 148lbs, 34C, 10 for dresses, medium for tops. I was able to wear a 10 comfortably but if I rented again I'd do an 8. The skirt is full, so size to whatever your top is.

Gigantic on top
I'm a 34C and the size 10 was about 4" too big in the bust. The bottom half fit true to size. This is not a dress for pear shaped bodies. If you're looking for a dress that will fit a very large bust (not D cup large, like 34F+), this could be an option.

Would rent again
True to size. LR fit my 30" waist well. I was concerned about not being able to wear a bra but the fabric is a heavy cotton and not clingy or sheer. The print is beautiful and fun. The cut is flattering and comfortable. Good dress for hot weather. I'd rent again. I'm 5'5", 148lbs, size 10, 34C.

Bring on the shoulder pads
The shoulder pads are more pronounced than they appear in the photo, but in a good way. Good dinner with the girls top. Needs to be tucked in not to gape awkwardly. Interesting without being flashy. True to size. I'm 5'5", 148lbs, 34C, M/L for tops.

Casual fall vibe
Cute fall look. The gauge of the knit was larger than I expected, which make it more of a chunky, casual knit. Gorgeous color. Fun sleeves. I have short arms so I rolled up the sleeves and it looked like part of the style. Ran true to size for a fit that was body skimming and not tight. I'm 5'5", 148lbs, 34C, M/L for tops (usually L for sweaters).

Too large in the torso
The reviews about how the bust was small made me get a 10. Should've gotten an 8 as a 34C size 10 (I sometimes size down for dresses with full skirts). It's true to size, just not a stretch fabric. There's not a lot of boning, just a single one on each side of the torso for structure. Since there aren't shoulder sleeves to hold it up, the torso needs to be snug for the dress to work. The little sleeves on the side felt too tight, but not terribly so. Recommend getting the size you wear in tops.

Classic but special top
This fit true to size. Definitely a looser, drapey fit, which I like. The navy fabric is gorgeous and made it party appropriate. I wore the tie knotted instead of as a pussy bow. It's a faux wrap style but without a stitch to hold it closed. Tucking the front into a tight waistband is a must. When I didn't, a full bra cup was visible as soon as I moved around. Despite that, the top was comfortable, flattering, and classic. I'm 5'5", 34C, 148lbs, typically a M/L on top and 10 overall.
