Comfortable and chic
It was very comfortable and perfect for a New England fall day. My only complaint was that my bra strap shows through the shoulder cutout which is a little less than sexy or professional.

Big sack.
Really nice size but the unstructured inside makes it a bottomless pit. There are no pockets or dividers so you end up having to plow through all your purse detritus to find a pen or wallet or phone or whatever. Luckily it does have a key fob.

Frumpy
The shirt just fit weirdly. It looked baggy and ill-tailored. Ended up not wearing it and sent it right back.

comfy yet professional
I'm usually between a 12 and 14 size and this was large on me. But I loved it and it didn't look like it was swimming on me because I wore a blousy shirt over it.I paired it with the Nicholas Ditsi Print Smocked Blouse and it made a comfy, but professional work outfit.

Comfy yet professional
I love the loose, yet structured feel of this shirt. Super comfy. I paired it with the PARKER WEN SKIRT and it made a wonderful work outfit. Got lots of complements.

Comfortable and cute for the boardroom
This is a comfortable alternative to the ubiquitous business sheath dress. I'm only 5'4" and this is a little short falling about 3 inches above the knee at the high ruffled split. Also I usually wear a 12 but that would have been too tight at the armpit and hips. Glad I sized up to the 14. I did really like it and would rent again

Nice dress for special event
It's a lovely dress and fits nicely. However, it was too fancy for a business meeting. Also the cut made me look short waisted

Really wanted to wear it at my cousin's graduation but replacement was lost in the UPS miasma
I usually wear a 12 or 10. I go to a 14 in super designer wear. The bodice on this dreds is way is too low and tight for anyone blessed with cleavage. I'm a 36D and I was dangerously popping out. The skirt part fit fine and was actually a but big. The top felt like a torture chamber.

Not a winner
Usually this style looks good on me ñ. This dress runs small and did not even zip up on me. I could not wear it to my meeting
Mix & Mingle Wrap Dress

Professional look
This is a comfortable dress to wear for an all-day conference. The knit is a bit light so it is not for truly cool climes, but works nicely for fall or winter work events. Pair with tights and boots for a great look. I got lots of compliments.

Classic Sheath Dress
Classic sheath with classic sheath issues for the curvy woman. I ended up wearing a silk shrug as a coverup for my business meetings because there is a slight gap at the arms where the bra shows. The dress is really comfortable. I was in it all day long for a business conference. I went up a size from my usual 10 because it was quite snug in the hips and bust area. The 12 was loose in the waist, but hung much better. I would rent this again.

Comfortable and Classy
My favorite for comfortable, yet classy work outfit. This was so comfortable and the fabric is a nice heavyweight with pockets that do not mess up the silhouette when hand or phone are put inside, It was a toss up which size to wear. The 12 was just a little roomier in the chest, but the 10 would have been just fine. Would definitely rent again.

Complements Galore
Fit like a glove in all the right places. The ruching really hides any imperfections and highlights assets. I'm kind of short so it hung a bit longer [just below the knees] than I would have liked, but with heels on my legs looked nice. I received quite a few complements during the night so I guess the dress looked nice on me.

I received many complements from friends and family for the wow factor.
It is a beautiful dress and really fun to wear. I felt like a movie star. It fit a bit snugly and some spanx might have smoothed it out better on my curvy body. But the drapy top looked great and the sparkles were super fun. I would rent this again.
