Cute, but waaaaay short!
I didn't wear this dress because it was so short you could nearly see my undies - and I'm barely over 5 feet tall! Also, the medium was very loose.

Work or formal
I wore this to work with fun lace tights, but it could easily be styled for a more formal occasion. I'm a solid size 6 and the 44 was way too big.

Large and baggy - unfitted
I honestly can't imagine anyone would look great in this dress - it was large, stretchy & baggy in all the wrong places.

Whoah. Waaaay small!
I rented a medium, which is my current size in Alexis & I needed at least 6" more material to even think about zipping it over my chest. It measures 15" across the chest with no give. I'm 5'2" 135lb 36D & doubt I could even wear an XL. If you have any chest at all, size up. If you have a large chest, don't bother.

Great work dress!
This dress runs small. I'm a solid 6 & the 8 fit perfectly. The material was heavier than expected, but gives it a very classic look. But for that (I live in South Florida), I probably would have bought it.

Great colors, material and fit! I liked it enough to buy it.

Basic & not for shorties
These are pretty basic jeans - nothing interesting. Of interest though, is the length. I'm 5'2" & they were not short enough to be ankle length or long enough to appear regular length.

Oddly fitted and heavy
I couldn't zip the upper body over my chest (36D), while the lower body was clownishly loose. I also found the material to be a bit heavy.

Tight and basic....
I rented this for work, but didn't end up wearing it because it was very form fitting (tight) and rather basic. Optimistically, it might look good on someone tall and thin, if accessorized properly.

Loved!
I liked this one so much, I bought it! Classy, but also cute. Soft material that holds its shape throughout the day into evening.

Great fit (TTS), material and functionality! Ideal for the office or evening.
Pleat Detail Shift Dress

Strange. That is all.
When I finally got this on (difficult), I did not find it to be flattering - at all. There is a lot of material to be wrapped in a strange way & the finished product is an uncomfortable mess.

So cute!
I normally wear a 6, but the 8 fit very well in this one. It was conservative but sassy - super fun for work! The material is a bit heavier than I expected, you would not likely want to wear in warm weather/sun.
Beekman Dress

Size Worn: 8

Odd
The fit of this was a bit odd - it was right in the arms and somewhat stiff. I don't think I even wore it....
Kaitlyn Mini Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"

Lots of compliments!
I didn't totally love this one, but everyone else did! I have never gotten so many compliments at work. It runs TTS (on the shorter side) and is beautifully constructed with an intricate pattern and detail.

Cute, but short!
This ran true to size and was cute, but I found it a bit short for work - and I'm only 5'2"!

Perfection
This may be the most interesting and beautiful dress I have ever tried on. Material, pattern and fit are amazing. True to size. Unfortunately, it was more formal than I expected and I didn't get to wear it. I will definitely rent again when the occasion arises & would buy it if I could afford it!
Rose Ruffle V-Neck Dress

Not great for shorties....
The colors and material are gorgeous, but the length and cut was not ideal for my height (5'2").
Asymmetrical Mixed Print Skirt
DEREK LAM
Size Worn: 42

Adorable!
So many compliments on this! I got an 8 because the 6 wasn't available & it was a little big, so I would say it runs true to size. It also wrinkles fairly easily, so you will need to press if wearing day to night or more than once.
Red Scalloped Trim Dress
RED Valentino

Comfy, but unflattering.
This dress fits large and comfortably, but was so unflattering I didn't even wear it. The stripes across the chest are not a good look. It would be better if shorter and more fitted. I rented the medium and thought it fit more like a large or extra large.
Black Stripe Shift

For work or play...
Beautiful colors, material and flow. I wore it to work, but would be great for evening as well.

Perfection
This is a great dress that flowed well from office to evening. It fits like a glove & perfect length for a shorty (5'2"). The material is gorgeous - much prettier than the pics. I would keep it if I could afford it.

Awesome!
Loved this dress! If I had ordered a smaller size, I may have bought it. I even saw someone wearing it on a tv show while I had it. Comfy, beautiful colors and pairs well with numerous jackets and shoes.

Not for large chest
I ordered a size up and could not even come close to getting this side zipper past my chest. It may be great on someone tall and thin. Very soft material.

Fun & sexy!
I wore this for NYE and it was perfect! Comfy, fun, sexy and surprisingly forgiving if you have any trouble spots. Fits true to size.

Pretty, but itchy
This is a very pretty dress that I wore for a night out around the holidays. It was a bit itchy though. True to size & fairly conservative.

Just strange....
Once I figured out how to get this on, I couldn't get it zipped over my chest. It might be beautiful on someone tall and thin. The pattern and material are beautiful.

Just okay....
Cute and work appropriate, but just okay - I wore it once and sent it back. Fits true to size and is comfy.

Great color
I wore this to work once, but wish I had sized down (small versus medium). The material is soft and light - probably flattering if more fitted.

Great dress!
Great fit, nice light weight (but quality) material. I couldn't give it up - bought this one!

Meh....
I wore this to work once, but it was a little cheap looking - I wouldn't rent it again or recommend it. The color is fun, but the cut is boring.

Large and shapeless
This dress was a disappointment to me - just large and shapeless. I didn't wear it.

Perfect!
Cute and comfy! I worn this to work with a sheath dress, but it would like great with jeans as well. I think it runs a little large.

Love!
I've worn this out on a week night and will probably wear to work on casual Friday. As usual, Carven doesn't disappoint! Super cool, fun & quirky!

Gorgeous dress
Beautiful dress - great for work or more formal. I ordered an 8 because my usual 6 wasn't available and it was way too big. Pretty sure the 6 would've been perfect. So true to size.

Disappointing
This dress ran very large & the chest had to be pinned to wear it. Also uninspired - dull. Disappointing from this designer....
Ikat Adelina Dress

Very confusing
This dress was too tight in certain areas (arms) and too large in other areas (shoulders) - I just couldn't make it work (5'2" 135lbs). Objectively, it's gorgeous on the hanger & the material feels amazing - maybe nice on someone tall with a swimmer's build?

Adorable and versatile skirt, but runs large.

Gorgeous but runs large
Cute, flowing, different and fun! I would've given 5 stars if more true to size - runs very large.

Swimming in it....
Beautiful dress that might look lovely on someone taller. I'm 5'2" 135lbs & I was swimming in it - literally every inch of my body was covered. I couldn't wear it.
