chic, flattering pattern and fit
[note: wore size 0] flattering, forgiving, stylish print... a bit on the short side but tall boots made it work!

Black Floral Serpent Dress
Mother of Pearl
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 0
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 115lbs
Bust: 34B
Vibrant colors and feminine fit
This is a fabulous dress - the fabric color / details / fit are all great. Definitely a little blouson-ey but the belt helps cinch. Only complaint is that it was a bit too tight in the underarms and arm seams (I am athletic but if you have skinny arms it might not be a problem).

Perfect vacation flair
Rented this for Bali getaway... perfect and no fuss option to throw on and look polished. Classy high quality silk with bold colors. A bit tighter on the hips than expected but overall true to size.

Functional, flattering utilitarian dress
Well-rounded prairie / boho chic dress that is comfortable and flattering; a great piece to throw on and go to most any function. Wore to brunch, Thanksgiving, casual evening out, daytime events and always got compliments on looking put together. Trim details and small felted polka dots are classy touches (although definitely are not as pronounced as what the professional photos show.)

Comfortable, classy, chic
Rented for nautical fleet week / airshow and was an excellent, comfortable choice. Very easy to accessorize, flattering length and pattern. Only complaint is the short torso and slightly too snug back/shoulders for those gals with more athletic upper bodies.

Flattering, whimsical, multipurpose maxi
Snagged this maxi originally for tropical vacation and kept it for a few other wears. Nice, flattering fit and the fabric pattern is bright and cheerful without being garish. Despite the R-regular length, this maxi is extremely long even when worn with large wedges. This style should compliment any array of body types.

Head-turning statement skirt
One-of-a-kind piece that is simply fun to wear... despite being extremely heavy and dressier than expected. As other reviews state, there is a huge amount of fabric, tulle, and lining that requires ironing. Skirt runs large...even for my stature, the waist fell low causing the skirt to hit ground and snag on shoes. Disappointed that rental is worn/torn but still a great item.

Bust: 34B
A sophisticated classic with flair
Unique take on a classic dark navy crepe shift... neck tie and shoulder/sleeve details make this standout. Quality fabric and cut make the dress flattering. However, the short length for medium to taller ladies is on the edge of questionable for conservative office wear.

Navy Parsia Dress

Height: 5' 6"

Striking pattern and color combo
Great work dress, a very unique piece with quality fabric and colors. A tad short (for medium to taller gals) but overall balanced by the longer sleeves and modest tie-neck.

Elegant color with unique details
Great jewel tone color with flattering cuts / angles / details. Size was a bit larger than expected and fabric wrinkles easily - wasn't the best for business travel.

Intriguing pattern, but boxy and unflattering
Wanted to love this blazer... the print, black detailing and potential cuffs when rolled up are all great. However, it is just too big (even at a size 0) and not tailored well at all. Perhaps belted this could work, just not for me.

Stunning and unique colors, design, cut
Loved the dress so much, I went out and purchased one from BCBG. The regular (R) fit versus long (L) doesn't matter too much I found, but chose the L due to my 5'6" height. Worked perfectly in taller heels. Slightly tight bust and bodice, but flowing and generous fit in the skirt. Flattering for pear or more athletic shapes to camouflage bottom half.

Classy tailored ensemble for a steak dinner
Relatively simple and chic dress but the surprise details, draping and fabrics are what make it unique. Appropriate for conservative or work functions, fits well. Body highlighting; fits and flatters most physiques I would imagine.

Gorgeous and unique piece
PROs: Stylish, extremely special bracelet, looks great with nearly anything. CONs: Hinge mechanism is designed for a very small wrist and bracelet is fairly heavy... took some adjustment.

Easy breezy summer choice
Flattering and true-to-size fit, rented for outdoor music festival and wine tasting. Forgiving fit in the hips/waist but slightly tight at the bust. Perhaps a bit long with flats (even for me at 5'6"), but a very comfortable rental that garnered compliments.

Unique and trendy concept; tricky fit and material
To the eye and in photos, this dress is a real stunner. Although ordering two sizes, the length was far too short with both and the fabric incredibly thick and constricting. For an evening out in hot southern California, this did not work... but perhaps a great choice for winter temps (and appropriate hosiery for some modesty). Bummed, but will try again.
