Beautiful Dress, Strange Fit
Overall, I found this dress to be quite beautiful and received many compliments. The pockets were amazing and large enough to fit my phone, lipstick, and keys. I loved the detail on the back, and the v-neck was not too low as to be scandalous. However, due to the awkward fit, I likely will not rent this dress again. I would recommend getting the size that corresponds to your waistline, as it's the smallest part of the dress, and the fabric has no stretch. As other reviewers have commented, this dress is very large in the bust area. My waist is 25.5 inches and my bust is 32.5 inches. The waist on the size zero fit perfectly, but I needed to put in some temporary stitches to get the bust area to fit properly. The good news is the pattern of the fabric makes it pretty easy to fold and stitch the area under your armpit and have the alternation be nearly unnoticeable.

Great for formal affair, but may not fit well
This dress was beautiful and sophisticated. It was perfect for my work gala. My only complaint is that it's a difficult fit. The bust area was so large it didn't fit properly with a large push-up bra. (I'm a pretty averagely-endowed woman.) Due to the pencil skirt, there's no flexibility to go down a size, so I really only see this fitting women with large chests.

Fun Wear-To-Work Dress; Hard to Pair
I found the photos to be a bit deceiving, so to clarify the colors of this dress are navy, light blue, and maroon. I found it a bit hard to pair with but ended up wearing it with navy blazer. A maroon jacket would've been perfect. The dress has pockets, but they hug close to the body so your hips don't look bigger. Overall, this was a cute dress to wear to work.

Great wear-to-work skirt
I wore this skirt to work and loved it. The skirt is well-constructed and fit true to size. There is a slight bit of glitter/sparkle in the skirt, but it is incredibly subtle. For me the length was just below the knee, but it may be a bit long on shorter women.

Lovely dress that chokes you when you sit
Positives: I love the fabric. It's beautiful and multi-textured. Got a couple compliments from coworkers Overall true to size, though I did find it tight in the armpits Negatives: Every time you sit, it chokes you. You have to be very careful about the angle you sit at or face potential death by dress strangulation.

Versatile shirt perfect for work and play
Pros: Very cute & versatile. Paired it with a blazer and trousers for work and later wore it with skinny jeans at the club. I loved that it has a high neckline without being tight. Con: Slit in front may be revealing if you move around a lot. I have a corporate job, and did not find it to be an issue at work. When checking in front of the mirror my stomach was only revealed while doing a twisting/dancing motion

May be the most amazing dress ever created.
I adore everything about this dress. I wore it to a gala, and I had well over 20 strangers approach me to compliment me on it. I felt like an absolute princess. As an added bonus, this dress also has pockets! Sizing: As other reviewers stated, this dress runs a bit big. I usually wear a 2, and am definitely glad I got to 0 as a backup. Length: I am 5'4". I wore 3-4" heels, and it was the perfect length. Warnings: 1) If you are not comfortable going bra-less, this may not be the dress for you. 2) One of the dresses I received had been sewed in the bust by a fellow renter so it wasn't as low of a V-cut. Make sure you check your rental to see if it's been altered.
