I think this dress would be adorable on a very tall, willowy person, but at 5'7" with a large chest and belly, it hit me all sorts of wrong. I still wore it for a casual work day with socks and boots though because it was SO comfortable! I think styling it with a cropped casual jacket and belt could have helped tremendously but I didn't think to do that in time. Runs large except in the shoulder seams, as others have noticed.

This dress fit wonderfully, except the arms, on which I couldn't really get the hang of all the drawstrings. I like asymmetry and the flamenco style skirt, but the material of this dress was too thin/delicate to be casual, while the cut almost felt "club" like. Nothing really "wrong with it," but it felt like a mash up of too many things for a simple LBD, which is what I was seeking in the rental.

I wore this dress out to dinner with friends with a cropped sweater and heels and then to work under a blazer with boots, and both stylings worked well. The material is heavy enough to feel warm, and the vibrant pattern and color made it a fun and unique piece to wear. I wouldn't want to own it because it's almost too memorable, but I enjoyed wearing it twice. My only downside was that the waist is a bit dropped and the neck come up all the way, which is not the most flattering cut for my body.

I got several compliments on this dress at work and enjoyed the bright colors. The fabric is not a thick, soft knit, more polyester feeling but with texture. It is a true wrap dress and was slightly hazardous in the wind! I paired it with a camisole because the upper portion opened almost entirely when I sat down. The sleeves are really long and cozy, maybe a little stretched out from cleaning? I would wear it a few times per winter if I owned it.

This skirt was cute, warm enough, and in a nice, fun fabric. I had presumed it had black in it from the photos, so when I realized it was navy, I had more limited styling options than planned. This look was fine but a little more matronly than I would have liked overall, so I only wore it once.

This was a nice sequin dress that wasn't itchy or too heavy like many are, but the mid-section was too form-fitting for me to feel comfortable wearing it at the party I attended.
