Tried for 10 and could barely get it on
Definitely size up in this- I do have a bigger chest and broad shoulders but the 10 was squishing my chest even with no bra and a very thin dress on. Good idea but wouldn't work for me

So classy and beautiful
The colors in this color blocking are so inspiring, mixing some of my favorite shades in a way I would have never considered.

Possible one of my fav rtr pieces yet
I wore this on a day wear I felt bloated and frumpy and the weather was not really hot getting a little cool and humid... generally just meh feeling and meh weather. I knew there would be tons of pics taken and this too was so flattering without being flat looking. It covered my arms and belly but still looked a touch sexy and fun. I also loved pairing it with my fave color of fall, that burnt sienna type color.

Cool, chill pants
I liked these for something a little different. Wore them to a 6 year old party where the we're learning hip hop, so I felt a little cool and on brand for the occasion :D. They were definitely not fitted but weren't too baggy on the hips

So effortless and pretty for in between weather
I originally thought this was sweater material, but in a way it's good that it's not because it keeps its shape. I wore this to a friend's birthday dinner and I felt cool and chic and comfortable eating everything! Plus it was one of those warm to cool days and this dress worked perfectly!

This was super pretty and elegant- probably better for taller women
I really loved this- comfortable and beautiful. The 10 was good but I'd like to rent an 8 next time... and there will be a next time

Not my fav piece
I thought the ruching and buttons were flattering, but the sleeves were a little too fitted and didn't roll up, and the length felt a little too short for a work dress that moves and flutters. I also felt like the cut/pattern combo seemed dated somehow. I felt too mature

Perfection!
I wore this to work with a pink leaning neon blazer. I loved it so much and didn't want to take it off. The color was flattering as well as the material. I esp loved the square cut of the neck. My only hesitation with wearing to work is there is a back slit that I kept pulling down bc I wasn't sure how high up it was going. I do have a bit of a booty tho so it might not be too much of an issue for others. Kicking myself for not getting a good pic, but I have a feeling I'll rent again!

Perfect work wear, wish I owned!
This dress fit me like a glove, and I loved the little shoulders. It was long, longer than it seems on the model. I'm 5'8" and it just covered my knees. That said it was a great length for me, and the material felt nice and thick but not heavy. I was surprised bc sometime jcrew cheapskate our with material. Only flaw was the satin inner lining (which made it so comfortable) peaked out at the neckline.

Just to weird and unflattering
I thought I could wear this in a chill weeekend way but it's just so stiff and big and over the top. I ended up untying the bottom bow and wearing to work with an undershirt and high waisted black skirt. From the front it looked ok tho a littl bulky and the back was just a fiasco all day

Straps too long or neckline too low
I thought I could wear this to work with a blazer. Definitely not- with a bra it sat too high and the straps were all loose. Without a bra it seemed to sit where it should on my waist but the straps are so long and the cut along the neckline was so awkwardly low. I like low cut for non-work events, but this wasn't low cut it was just too low all around. So as other said straps are too long or maybe more importantly the material around the top of the dress was cut too low. So bummed bc the color is stunning as well as the flow

My 5 year old said I looked perfect :)
This was a very pretty and flattering dress. Only issue was the cutout material isn't exactly comfortable for sitting all day and the neckline felt like it rubbed a little. Went to change after work for the circus and my son said "but why? You look perfect!"

Really awkward fit
The buttons were so cute and I liked the pattern. Other than that it was a no go- such an awkward fit across the back and the cut was weirdly high in front. I tried without a bra since the material was thick and quality, plus the bra showed in the back. I think it just made the front look worse. I would only recommend to someone who's maybe very narrow in the chest and shoulders

Vibrant color and accentuates shoulders
I wore this for a little mini photo shoot on vacation. Very glad I got the large for my broad shoulders and there was a little tummy showing unless you wear a high waisted bottom, but I love the vibrant colors and cut over my arms. The material did well to sit properly and not bunch up

Pretty and unique
I wore this to work and felt really put together and professional. I was maxed out in the 8 but I still think I'd continue getting that size in this brand. The only reason for 4 is the color seems a little dated to me

Fun colors and easy to wear
Rented this for a dinner in Montreal, but wore it out to the comedy festival and a taping of a podcast and was super comfortable and cute for all three. I went with sticky bra and felt presentable. The medium was more than large enough and on rtr I am often creeping into a 10. I mostly size up for broad shoulders so no issues their but it wasn't too tight around the waist or booty.

Cute but not what I'd hoped
These were very lightweight, fit well, and were very different than my normal style. That being said I was thinking they were the kind with no nose pads which I wanted to try bc the pads always get stuck in my hair. I'll just have to keep searching!

This dress put me on "the next level"
While it was a challenge to zip and I had to drink copious water for days to make sure I didnt look like a sausage, it was all worth it for the desired effect. For our 1 yr anniversary date my boyfriend just kept looking at it and saying "You look amazing. That subscription is putting you on another level and I don't know how I am going to keep up!" I definitely could not wear this with a bra. I will probably try this brand in a 10 next time but I think it was true to size I am just 5 lbs above an 8 currently ;P

Cute length for work, slimming
I really enjoyed the color and length of this dress, esp given the cutouts. The only issue was it was quite fitted on the bust, and a little looser below. Fit more like a true sheath

Perfect flattering fit
When this came in I had second thoughts. The white fabric looks like a tablecloth from grandma's house. However the fit has definitely sold me. I feel like it highlights my shoulders and chest and makes my waist appear small. Nice a-line fit and the fabric is thick enough to smooth but not scuba material like some of these other dresses.

Flattering on top, pretty with a blazer
I really liked the way the cut on top fit, but overall the dress was a bit baggy and then stretched more and more as the day went on. Very light fabric. I think I would try the 6 even though I am very much an 8. Only issue would be whether the top would still fit with a bra.

Fun day to night look for vacation
I loved these. Brought them on vacation and ended up wearing several times. They can be dressed up or done with sandals, and worked very well for stage warm/cool weather. I also felt like a tailored momma running after my son.

Fluffy/girly/pretty
I wore this for Easter and got tons of compliments. It reminded me of dresses I wore as a little girl and was very comfortable. Perfect for Easter, but the incredible puffiness of the dress is not exactly flattering. I didn't care so much for this day but couldn't picture wearing it anywhere else.

Wanted it to work, not for long torsos
I love the look of this dress, but it was just not hitting me right. I think it would be better for someone 5'3"-5'6" with curves. Such a cute idea, I just kept pulling down to getting the darts on the back in the right place.

Pretty and comfortable
I really liked this dress. The material was soft and comfortable, and it was lined. I wore to work with a rose duster. My only issue was the neck. The turtleneck was super high and fitted. I felt like the zipper in the back was going all the way up to my hairline. I zipped down and folded for most of the day.

So cool for winter but tiny waist
Grabbed the medium in this despite warnings... Waist is tiny and unforgiving. Barely made it through the night and doubt I'd make it through a full day. The pockets are amazing and it's lines so the wool is lovely and not itchy.

Beautiful color but high maintenance
I was really excited about this dress, but when it arrived I couldn't help but feel like I was shopping a thrift store. The material definitely showed wear. I'd say it was a bit big but I'm usually an 8 and I don't know that the 8 would've been perfect. Wore to work and I like the classiness but the dress rides up often and when sitting down I think the back slit went waaay up (to a scarily inappropriate level). Constant rearranging to get the dress to stay where it belonged.
