The most comfortable gown you'll ever wear
I rented this just to try while in quarantine. It fit so well and was so comfortable, I was shocked. You don't need a bra and the dress actually stays up without tugging and pulling all day. the shape was flattering and felt like it could fit any body. The color is very bold. The length was great for me. I could have worn heels and taken them off at the end of the night and it wouldn't have been noticeable. Can't wait to rent this for a real event!

Bold, fun, and super comfortable!
Wore this to WFH and really enjoyed it. Made me want to be on vacation. The skirt has a lot of material, so this isn't a great dress to do too much in because you will end up bunching up the skirt to move. The top was great and I didn't need a bra, but after wearing it all day, I did feel my ribs hurting from the seam rubbing against me. Overall, it was a fun dress that I'd rent again!

Bold pattern, interesting cut, great dress!
This was a fun dress to wear. The pattern is really bold in person. I am shorter, so I didn't have a problem with the slit. It isn't something you can wear a bra with, and I wore a stick on bra. After being in the heat, I took that off and went braless, and honestly it looked the same. The adjustable straps are great. The hem cuts across the hips and can bunch at the waste so it did make my stomach look big, which was the primary con.

Great color but not flattering
I got a size up from my normal 4, just to make sure it was comfortable to WFH, and it fit like I would have expected. The issue was with the cut, it was really unflattering and made my stomach look huge. I think it was because of the location of the bias cut hem. Overall, it was an easy fun dress to wear, but just not meant for my body.

Felt like Hawaii while in lock down!
Loved this dress, it was cute and fun. I got it while sheltering in place and it added some fun to my boring days. It was large overall, especially, in the chest, which was disappointing because I thought the 8 would be great given Reformation sizes. The arms and chest were so loose it kept slipping off, so it was not appropriate for any Zoom work calls, but I but a bikini top on under and it was great for lounging with an at home mai-tai!

Fun and different pant for work
These were cute and interesting. Didn't love the thick, almost blanket like material or the long wrap belt that was a hassle when taking them off. Overall, they were cute, fit high wasted, and were actually still cropped a bit on my short fram.

Fun bright dress
This fit well, maybe even a little loose, but I did size up based on reviews. The arms were a little tight, but manageable. I got the same complements of it looking fun and like I could go dancing as other reviews describe. I don't wear a lot of bright colors and it sure was red. I liked it a lot overall. I wore it to work with tights. It was long enough, but I was nervous because the lining and material were thin and was scared it would accidentally slide or hike up without me knowing.

Fun, cute, but big
This is a great trench and is a nice soft material and gorgeous color. It is really big, I wish I would have hit an xs. The sleeves wide and weird straps on the sleeves weren't my favorite and made it more casual than I would have liked. It also didn't come with the belt which was especially annoying given the size. It has a couple stains as well.

Super cute and easy to wear
It took me a few times with reformation but I think 8 is my size. I'm normally a 4 so it was difficult to guess how much to go up.Loved this dress, was cute and it was great in different California temps. My only issue was the straps dug in to my shoulders by end of the day. I wore nipple covers bc my strapless bra kept peeking through. It provides enough coverage/support, but unless I wanted it significantly low and chest bearing the straps has to be tied to a point that it hurt after a while.

Cute but awkward fit
I wanted to love this and I got lots of compliments when I wore it but it just didn't fit me right. I'm a pretty standard size 4 and this fit different in different areas of my body. I'm short and have a short torso, but this was somehow too short for my torso and felt tight and uncomfortable, like I needed another inch of room. However the stomach area was large and even the chest area was roomy. It was really tight on my quads and my legs aren't big so I'd be worried if I was any bigger.

No very flattering
I got the large since that was the suggested size given I'm normally a 4. It was big in me. I could have worn it out but didn't. The top fit fine but the shorts had too much volume. Even with a size smaller I wouldn't have been comfortable with all the volume in the shorts

Cute concept but big
This was really cute but ran way big. Based on reviews of it running small I got a medium instead of a small and it was huge. It felt more like pajamas than something I'd feel comfortable wearing to work. I might have been able to wear it to work, but I felt too dumpy in it. I would re rent it in a small another day though.

Loved it!
This skirt fit well and felt expensive- not cheap sequins like you can often find. It was comfortable and was a great stand out piece. Wore it to a concert and felt great. My dog was a little less enthused...
