Great dress for any season!
I wore this to a Friday night symphony performance with vintage Prada block heels & handbag. I liked the fact that the print didn't "scream" summer/spring, but rather could be appropriate for any season. The material isn't too thin and doesn't stretch as you wear it, which are also positives to renting this dress. With the color elements of the dress, there are many ways to wear this item. I plan to buy it as an "in case it's cold in May" Oaks/Derby dress.

"Runs small" doesn't begin to describe it.
I wear a 10/12 so I read the reviews & went with the XL. There was no way it would fit. When it arrived, it looked like a 6 on the hanger. Unless you're a smaller size with smaller bust, I'd save the time and rent something else.

Very cute skirt!
It's true to size & sits low on waist. It's short so I wore with black tights & over the knee boots. I love this brand and probably would've bought it if it was just a little cheaper.

Runs large, size down
Sleeves are very long and the cut is large overall. The colors are pretty though.

Flattering and fun dress!
After reading reviews, I rented a large instead of the medium. I had plenty of room and could have rented either size really. The dress has a beautiful set of colors and adds sparkle to a date or party. However, it could be worn for work too with more subdued accessories & shoes. I'd buy it if was just a tad bit cheaper.

Will not stay closed. Such a bummer!
On the positive side, it is a lovely color combo and nice size. However, it would not stay closed while walking around & shopping. The magnets aren't strong enough. I tried carrying over the shoulder, crossbody, taking stuff out of it, and wearing the charm side towards the body... nothing worked. I rented it for Thanksgiving weekend and, sadly, it was a major fail. I ended up putting it in one of my shopping bags.

Order a size up from your usual size.
After reading reviews, I ordered a large, though I'd usually get a medium. The large fit well. Being short, the sleeves are a bit long & it hits below knee (midi length), but I was still really pleased. It is thinner material, so you'll need a coat if it's cooler outside.

Fun asymmetrical sweater!
Loved the sweater! The colors are well-chosen and will go well with either black (sleeves) or navy (top section of sweater is navy). It does "show through" easily so a tank underneath made me feel more comfortable. Also, it has longer sleeves but they roll up & don't detract from the look/style. Best part: I was told that the asymmetrical design helped elongate my short/curvy/apple frame.

Great wool skirt!
A wonderful fit for me. Sits low on waist, but is still a "mini" skirt. Might be too short for taller ladies.

Beautiful color for fall!
Dress fits like a stretchy medium. It's helpful to wear "no line" undergarments for a smoother look. I loved the color & style for a Tennessee "fall" day.

Notes on fit!
In my past experience , this brand of dress tends to run very small. I normally get a medium in stretchy dresses, but got an XL in this for a more comfortable fit. And the XL fit like I would expect the M to fit in brands like J Crew, BCBG, etc. I really liked the style & color.

This is an awesome date night bag! I included a picture for comparison sized to the LV neverfull.
The crossbody strap is a little awkward, but I didn't really want it for that style anyways.
