Wearable with some pinning
As mentioned by other renters, this dress runs small. I wore one size up for overall fit through the waist, arms, and length. The chest and neck area had too much room for me but I was able to gather and pin at the nape... I also wore a plain white cami for some coverage over the chest. It took a bit of playing around and engineering but it ended up looking fantastic. Tons of compliments! I would actually rent this again not that I know how to make it appear to fit.

Meh
Clearly the sweater I received had shrunk from improper care - the sleeves were short (above the wrist) and the length was borderline crop! I pushed the sleeves up a little and wore anyway with a high-waisted skirt but overall was disappointed - not just because of the size but because it just wasn't very comfortable or flattering. Was hoping for something roomy, comfy, and effortless but this one fell short. (Pun intended!)

So classic and cute as a button
I couldn't get enough of this coat and wore if for several weeks - for work, casual, and dressed up for a lunchtime event. The feminine cut is so complementary to the figure, and, is a real eye-catcher in the sea of boxy coats trending everywhere right now. The short sleeves (above the wrist): some didn't like them but I adore them! Adds to the personality of the style and gives you peek-a-boo layering opportunities. Weight is for fall or a warm winter (winter in the South) - this coat provides a nice top layer for cool weather but isn't suitable for true warmth or weather protection. I'd buy this if I thought the print would stay in vogue. Ms. Witherspoon - make some solid colors and I'll buy at least two!

Perfect trendy sweater to wear many ways
Wore this to work and with jeans several times. Perfect for a rental - trendy + easy to wear. The feel of the knit wasn't my favorite but the style and wearability made up for it.

Didn't work for my shape
Loved the dress - good quality and style. Heavy fabric. I normally wear a size S and ordered this in size S, but it was a little too big on top and quite snug on the bottom. I didn't bother to try a size up because I knew the top would just be too loose around the bust. This might work better on someone with a larger chest and/or shorter waist. It's a super cute dress so I hope it will look fabulous on someone!

Cute style - easy to wear
I really enjoyed wearing this. Good quality. Flattering silhouette. I wore with a tank underneath and tights. Length is quite short.

Trendy and femine
Loved this top! Goes with anything and can be dressed up or down. I was worried that the bottom would cut across my hips in an unflattering line but the whole silhouette was very flattering.

Cool cut and quality garment
Hee hee, when I first pulled this dress out of the package I thought there was no way it was going to fit over my body - but this dress has a lot of stretch. The thickness of the fabric gives it a luxe feel. Overall fun to wear for a day.

Nice but not a wow...
Like many other reviewers, I can say this dress runs large and the arm holes are very low. Unlike many other reviewers, I didn't think this dress was terribly special. It's pretty and well made. I rented it because I needed a dress that was a fall-ish orange color. Ended up not wearing it because the arm holes were just too low (not appropriate for a church wedding) and I didn't have a good cover up handy.

Cute and casual
Fit and fabric as expected per other reviews. I felt the length was slightly too long to look good with flats on my short legs, so I used fashion tape to fold the hem under about 1". The dress was comfortable and cute though I did feel a little self conscious about the stretch across the mid-section. Overall this is a great everyday option; I love how you can style it lots of different ways.

Perfect for dressing up on a cruise!
Perfect, classic fit. Print is beautiful and has shiny silver running through it. Great length - above the knee but not too short. Wore this with a pearl necklace and earrings, hair in a pony tail. Easy, refined, and elegant!

Unique print; easy to wear
I'm normally a 2 or 4 and should have gotten the 2. Still wore the 4 though because it was so easy to wear and accessorize - the print is is actually made up of hands holding flowers in nude and purple tones. Overall fun shape and print when you need something casual and comfortable.

Super fun and comfortable
As reviewed, very large - I wore 2 sizes down and it fit like a dream. Easy and fun to accessorize; easy and fun to wear. I would rent this again and am considering buying because it would be a great go-to on "fat" days or when you are just in a hurry to get out the door.

Size up!
This dress is so delicate and pretty. Much more special in person than in the photos. I would have loved to wear it but I didn't get a back up size. Will try again one size up - I'm just waiting for the right occasion.

Stand out for looking classy
Love this gown and would rent again if not for the length - very long with cape slightly longer; cape dragged on the floor and got dirty with 5" heels. But wow, what a timeless beauty. If you want to stand out in a crowd for appearing sophisticated and etherial, this dress is for you.

Holy Saturday morning church service
Dressed this down with a jean jacket and it was perfect for a sunny spring morning. Very comfortable. A little loose on top but not enough to be a problem. Able to wear a modest heel height. Not a show stopper but very pretty.

Great dress, perfect for a Christmas party of mixing and mingling.
As a small chested girl, I didn't have the experience others had with the top being too small - I found myself pulling the bodice up several times throughout the evening (so I personally would not be able to wear this to an event where I wanted to dance/move my arms much). Even so, I would rent this dress again.
