Very small in the chest
I first ordered the 6, but the chest was way to small, so I sized up to an 8 and it made no difference - it was practically an identical fit, which was too bad because I loved the pattern and fabric.

Awkward fit and color
I found the fit to be very snug and unflattering across the chest. The arm holes were also very fitted and cut into my shoulders. I didn't love the color either - a very insipid shade of yellow. I returned it without wearing it

Loved!
I loved everything about this dress - the color, fabric, fit. The sheer sleeves made it perfect for a late spring work day.

Great summer dress
As other reviewers noted, the dress runs a bit large, but since only the 8 was available, I ordered it anyway. The bust was loose, but I was able to secure it closed with a small safety pin and wore it anyway. Loved the fabric and color, will definitely rent again, but next time in a smaller size.

Great color but heavy material
I loved the color and cut but found the material to be very heavy and weighty, which made tucking in a button up difficult as it looked very bulky and unflattering. Instead I paired it with a fitted black T-shirt, which was smooth and didn't compete with the bulk of the skirt. The elastic waist band made it easy to adjust where the skirt sat, and I wore it above my hips for a higher waisted look. Probably won't rent it again but was worth renting once.

Perfect black blazer
Loved this piece - great fit, material, and style. Loved the gold buttons too. Was perfect for work with slacks, but also paired well with jeans. Will definitely rent again!

Perfect work top
Perfectly paired with black pants for work. I liked the look and fit, especially with the front ruffle, but it has a hint of pink to it (it's not only white as it appears in the photo). It's also longer in the back, which I liked, but also difficult to tell from the photo.

Very low cut
I loved the print and fabric but the dress is so low cut I couldn't wear it with a bra and had to return it without wearing it.

Great color, but very loose fitting
While I loved the color and material of this top, it flares out VERY wide below the bust, giving a full pregnancy effect. I wore it with skinny black jeans and it worked ok, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Not for me
I found the fit to be very awkward and unflattering, and did not end up wearing this one. Too bad, because it looks very cute in the pictures.

Too low cut
I got this to wear under a blazer but didn't wear it top because it was way too low cut. I tried it with a black cami underneath but it just looked awkward.

Fun Piece
Even though this runs a little large, I loved the look and got lots of compliments. Paired perfectly with skinny black jeans and is a good piece for transitioning from work to evening plans.

Great dress, but too low cut for a formal work event
I ordered this dress to wear to a formal work event - I got a size 6 and it fit great (I'm 5'6", 135lbs, 36C), but it was too low cut and fitted in the bust to wear amidst co-workers (I tried a camisole under it, but it was just awkward). It would have been better for a night out or a date night. The skirt is a lot of material and pretty heavy, so I can't imagine wearing it in the summer months, but its perfect for fall/winter.
