I wanted to love this
I actively waited for this to be available in my size. The moment it came out of the bag, my husband looked at me and thought I was nuts. He calls it one of those things you wear with you are with your girlfriends.. I was prepared to take that comment with a grain of salt, but it turned out to be a little small. And I didn't wear it at all.

A comfortable, stylish, casual dress
This looked great and was easy to wear. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to wear heels. The only comment I would make is that back button is sometimes difficult to get closed. I wore it multiple times.

Very flattering
This was a very flattering and comfortable dress to wear. I wore it two different work functions one I did wear a blazer with because it is a little form fitting. The only thing I would caution is that the arm hole dip a little bit so you need to choose your bra wisely

I wanted to love this, but...
Unfortunately, I took a horribly unflattering picture. It looked better than that! The gathering was flattering and did not puff up my stomach like the picture. I think the dress is better suited for someone not in a D cup. I had to pin the front so it wouldn't gap at the chest. The big disappointment was the fabric. It is really a dark chambray, not dressy enough for a work event I am speaking at. It was okay for business casual but nothing more than that.

Great top- versatile
I thought about keeping this shirt longer. It's comfortable, fits TTS. I wore it casually and on a business casual day.

It is just a sweater. Size down
It isn't anything super exciting. I must have short arms because I needed to roll the cuffs. If I ever ordered again, I would get a small.

Not a great fit...
I am used to things not fitting my hips or chest, but this wouldn't zip over my ribcage. My daughter thought the color was not attractive.

It was LARGE
I was looking forward to this jacket. We were expecting rain for an entire week and I thought that jacket would be perfect for a rainy spring week. I ordered a medium and it was massive. I realize it was a swing coat and it was supposed to have some extra space in it. But you could barely even see my fingers when I put the coat on. I couldn't wear it. It was new with tags

Will rent again
I was worried about the fit, but it worked out well. If you are in doubt maybe size up? I think I rented regular length and it was the right decision. A little steam in the morning and they were great all day.

Great suit jacket, without the fuss
A great way to dress for work without the formal suit look. Perfect fit. I was able to button over my chest when I needed to. I ordered the pants. The combo looks good together. I plan to wear the jacket with some khakis or white pants.

Runs large
They are flattering and comfortable, but they run large. I needed to roll up hem even with a 3 inch heel. There was room in the waist. The pants are pleated so I suggest not sizing up- you can end up having too much fabric. I ordered the jacket too. I wore them as a suit a couple of times. I was able to wear the pants on their own as well

A great dress!
I wore it to a family wedding in Mexico. The fabric was light and airy- and I felt comfortable despite the heat. I was able to dance easily and received a lot of compliments. I had to size up to fit my rib cage. I'm used to things not fitting because of my waist of hips, but the smaller size would not zip past my rib cage. I am a 36- the issues started below my chest. I got the larger size and used some tape to be extra careful and avoid slippage.

Love it
Super comfortable and very versatile. One simple that looks very put together with no effort. The back zipper is super easy to maneuver. If this goes on sale, I would buy it

Very comfortable, but I didn't wear it.
I needed something more formal for a black tie optional destination wedding. The fabric wasn't quite as formal as I thought I needed it.

I wanted to love it.
I wore it to work, but I used a fine stitch gun to hold the slit closed. I got several compliments. The color is gorgeous and green always works well with my coloring. It was comfortable. I won't rent this again. I ironed this dress thoroughly before I wore it and with the linen it was useless. I was wrinkled before I left the car. The dress "fit" but it was still too long in the arms. I had to roll it a little bit. The wrong type added additional bulk to my waist. When you combine that with the oversize top, it wasn't incredibly flattering. It looked like I was 20 pounds heavier.

Super comfortable, great fit
Side zippers aren't my favorite, these pants are super comfortable. I like the fabric and color. Wore these all day! I wore them with a 2 1/2 - 3 inch stacked heel boot, but I think I can pull them off without a heel too. A definite reorder

Meh
My husband thought it was cute and I should keep it. I returned it. I thought it was a bit boring. (It looked like one of the old fashioned gym outfits you see women wear in movies, except this one was checked.)

It is a weird fit
I am a 36D. It fit in the hips and waist easily. Everyone else has said that the chest was large. It probably would have been fine, but that zipper did not like my ribcage.

This wasn't a good fit
I'm a 36D and there is no way that zipped was going to go over my rib cage! I thought I could wear it with super high heels and manage the length, but I would need stilts

I should have read the reviews!
The fit was good and it looked great with the brown pants I got. It arrived on our first 80 plus degree day... definitely too late in the Spring for this. I will try it again in the Fall

I Iove the print. I think it either runs large or the cut is so boxy you get a bit lost in it. I will try it again in a smaller size

Not the dress for me
It fit, the length was good. It was see through but I could have wore a strapless or adhesives... but I didn't love how it looked on. Maybe it's a better suited for a tall person? I wear a lot of green and this was just meh.

My daughter said I looked like a cupcake.
The dress fit, but it is definitely a fit and FLARE. My daughter told me the bottom made me look like a cupcake. While I have nothing against baked goods, I don't particularly want to look like one! I returned it.

Not a good fit
The colors were nice, not as vibrant as the pictures. I wish I could have worn it but the side zipper did not accommodate my chest. At my height, hovering between petite and regular, it would require a 3-4 inch heel, minimum.
