Crisp and professional looking trousers
Loved these for work - they were a fun pop of color, and fit perfectly. Normally I wouldn't like an ankle-grazing style like this, but in hot weather that's totally fine. Some other reviews have mentioned that the fabric is heavy, but I think that's just because it's a nicer, more formal fabric.

Chic and Comfortable!
This dress looks very put together, but manages to do it all with elastic and tie waist! It's a great middle-length for my height, and was a tiny bit blouse-y in a way that was cool and comfortable when worn outside on a hot day. The colors are lovely, and you can wear a real bra with it. Definitely looks a little nicer than your usual weekend wear (good for casual drinks or dinner out), but maybe not quite ready for a cocktail-party style event.

Cute dress, but bust will gape
This dress is super cute, and it does stay closed a little better than most wrap dresses mostly because it's buttoned, and not being held in place by a belt. BUT the bust area still gapes open a bit. I didn't wear a camisole, and it wasn't so bad, but if you are smaller busted, the top will be a bit loose. Otherwise, the fit is great, and it looks really nice and sleek. Just remember that there's a fabric belt in the bag - I nearly forgot about it! I think the dress would look fine without it, you just don't want to get dinged when returning.

Fun, Comfortable Dress
LOVE this dress. Only loses points for a) having wide cut arm holes which sometimes show the bra through them, and then for having a very long waist, which doesn't always allow the belted portion to sit as nicely as it looks when standing. I normally wear an 8 or a 10, and was very comfortable in the 8 - the waistband is elastic, there's lots of room in the hips, and the top portion is very blousy, so I imagine it would be good for ladies with larger busts as well. Very comfortable, and I got lots of compliments at Mother's Day Brunch!

Very cute
Really liked this top, only downside is that it (like so many tops) has very large armholes, which means that you are likely to have the underarm of your bra showing. To note: the ruffle in the front does not go all the way around, and is more like a little apron piece in the front. Otherwise fit exactly as expected, and was a super cute item for work-wear!

Flowy and Lovely
LOVE this dress. Rented for a bridal shower, and it was perfect. I was in a Medium, and while I can normally wear a Large, I went out on a limb with this dress, and it ended up being the right choice. The dress is lovely and flowy, and it's a true wrap dress, so if you're wearing this somewhere windy - BE CAREFUL I also ended up loving the high-low hem, which was just high enough in the front to not seem too dowdy. The skirt portion is lined, but the top is not. If you tie the waist tight enough, there shouldn't be too much gapping at the bust, but you will have to watch out for it loosening over the course of the event and blousing open. And with any wrap dress, you'll want to be aware of the skirt, as it too had a tendency to open quite high on the leg if not watched.

Beware the empire waist if you have hips
I really wanted to like this one, and I ended up sizing down to a Medium (appropriately) because I'm definitely smaller busted. However, it's important to note that the skirt on this dress is ENORMOUS. There is a belt that ties around the waist just below the bust, and because there was so much skirt volume, and I've got bigger hips, it made me look a combination of childish and pregnant. It's a very cute dress with a cute print, and would probably look good on other people, it just didn't look good on me. For those of you who do rent this dress, take your bust/top size into greatest account when choosing what size to rent.

Interesting blazer to spice up an outfit
I normally wear an 8/10 on top, and rented the medium, and it was definitely a little on the roomy side. But the fabric is an interesting pattern, and definitely makes for a great work outfit. The fabric itself is thick and lined, so with the short sleeves it is perfect for an air-conditioned office in the springtime.

Fun and Breezy top
A little loose around the middle, but this is how I like my tops. Super cute ruffles and stripes. Am looking forward to wearing this to work as well!

Wrong size
Wanted to wear this to work, and normally wear a 10, but 12 was all that was available. 12 was WAY TOO LARGE, and was baggy around the middle and quite long. Would have liked to wear it as it was very sleek looking with heavy fabric that felt luxurious.

Too long, too "old"

Classic style with a twist, despite requiring some baby-bump friendly modifications.
I'm 6 months pregnant, and thought this dress might work, and it did - mostly. I wore a 12 - my pre-pregnancy size. The skirt is big enough to accommodate my baby bump, but the torso was quite long. I ended up pinning a strip about the width of the waistband TO the waistband, and it raised the waist to a comfortable point. The waistband/belt was definitely a complication a couple times in getting it zipped up all the way, but other than that, the dress was gorgeous. I got so many compliments, and while I needed to wear a cardigan since it was so cold the night of the event, it was great for dancing, and very comfortable while still looking chic!
