Eye popping work dress
I liked this dress for fall. The material is thick and the dress itself is longer than I thought. I paired it with a black blazer and tights so I didn't freeze. I had to rent a size up because they were out of the 18 I would normally wear. As you can see it's a little big so don't make my mistake. Overall a solid dress. Didn't love the neck. I found myself pulling at it all day. Other than that The dress was great.

Perfect Fall Work Dress
Loved this dress. It fit well. It was a little big on me. My normal size wasn't available so I went a size up and I definitely didn't need to. The ruching was very flattering and the fabric was stretchy and comfortable for all day wear. Highly recommend

Weird cut
I read some of the other reviews that said this dress ran small. I would 100% agree with that but my issue was with the way it was cut. I sized up 2 sizes so the dress did actually "fit" but it was cut strangely. I don't think a bigger size would have helped. The shoulders and top were huge (and I am a DD), the waist fit ok in the larger size, and the bottom was a little tight. The fabric is not stretchy AT ALL. Overall I just felt uncomfortable and self-conscious all day. Do not recommend.

LOVED THIS DRESS!!!
If the dress wasn't so expensive I would have totally bought it. I loved this dress. Unfortunately, my previous review with the picture didn't load so you're stuck with my description only. I am a plus size gal and I found it was very flattering as it accentuates curves very nicely. The fabric was thick, but also had some stretch to it. The zipper detail made it a show stopper. I received so many compliments on the dress that I wish I could have kept it forever.

Just Eh
It was ok. The dress was made of nice, thick material and would be good for fall/winter. I will say that it's a little short for work and I didn't like the way it was cut around the arms. I ended up not wearing it.

Fun work dress
I rented this for work and paired with a red cardigan and red heels. The dress is well made and the material is thicker than I thought so it wore well. It's an A-line cut so it's flattering for those of us who have some things to hide in the mid-section. I would note that it's a little more low cut than I thought but not a deal breaker. Overall one of my better choices of rentals. Would rent again.

Cut small!!!!
Size up, size up, size up!! I know with this designer to always go up one size which I did and it was still tight. The problem with this dress is that even a little tightness causes the fabric to lay funny in the front because of the cut. I didn't end up wearing it.

Awesome fall work dress!
Loved this dress. It was very comfortable for all day wear. I love the pockets! I read a few reviewers did not like the front pockets because they made the dress lay funny. I sized up a size so it was looser on me and found that I didn't have this problem. I like this dress so much I might keep it :)
Black Colorblocked Dress

Professional but comfortable
Loved this dress and I definitely see myself renting this again. I read in some other reviews that you should size up so I went with a 20 instead of an 18 and thought it fit me perfectly. At first I was weary of the slits at the top, but they are not as sheer as I initially thought. My profession requires me to dress formal yet conservatively and this was perfect. I received a lot of compliments on it from my co-workers too. Highly recommend.

Stylish yet comfortable
I will definitely rent this dress again. I got so many compliments!! It was the perfect dress for work and it wore well all day. I paired with tights and heels for fall but it doesn't really need anything extra. A little big up top but overall fit very well and was flattering in all the right places.

Cute but runs small
Good quality fabric and its very professional, but I found that it ran very small. Ended up returning it.

Disappointing
I orginally rented this to wear for work, but didn't end up wearing it at all. This was one of my first orders so I ordered a size larger thinking it was better to be too big rather than too small. Big mistake. The dress runs a large. This isn't the reason for the 2 stars though. I thought the fabric was more form fitting, and professional. It's more of a frumpy sweater dress and not really my style (or work appropriate).
