This dress is Palm Springs meets Mrs. Roper multiplied by the power of MCM.
1. This dress fit is based on an internal strapless bra. That's literally the only place it clasps. So choose a size based on that. Runs TTS. 2. I wore it barefoot to play around in the house and change the tail light on my truck. I'm 5'6" and it didn't drag. 3. The dress swings and sways in a way that makes you feel free from the burdens of everyday life. This is how I found myself just wearing it on a work from home day. Once I tried it on I couldn't take it off.

A shade of yellow that encroaches upon Volt. Super-cute dress with sloths all over it.
In full transparency, I'm not completely sober right now, but from what I remember about wearing this dress it fit perfectly, the color drew in thousands of compliments, and it was an amazing length for flats or heels. You can't go wrong with this dress. Unless you look horrible in green-tinged yellow.

The best and happiest shade of yellow you'll ever wear.
Amazingly smooth and lightweight Italian wool. Bright, happy shade of yellow. Modern, boxy, Japanese cut. Begs for statement accessories. I've never had so many men and women ask me who designed something I was wearing. Fit is loose but perfect. Fabric is light and almost transparent, so you need to wear seamless flesh-colored undergarments.

Kinda hot, but who cares when you look smokin'?
- Doesn't itch! - Looks incredible! - Sleeves are puffy enough to make a statement but not puffy enough to invoke pioneer women. - Shirt runs a little hot, so I don't recommend it for a hot day - Short waisted, so you need to wear high-waisted pants or rock a midriff

Egyptians on a starry lilac dress-scape. Yes please.
It's funky. It's epic. It's fun. I couldn't get a medium so I rented a large. Given the oversized cut of this dress I think the medium would have looked exactly the same. I think normal people might wear it with dark skinny jeans, but I prefer a wilder look. Could also be worn without any leggings or pants if you were headed to a party. I was just going to work and the dress is short enough that if I bent over I would have flashed people more than they wanted to see.

Warning: This dress attracts daggers
I have never had so many women shoot me daggers. Usually when I look nice I get compliments. But this dress looks SO DAMN HOT that women stop being nice and start getting nasty. So basically you'll feel like a Queen, but you'll notice the peasants planning a revolt. It is true to size. Beware the long trailing back which a few people did step on throughout the night...One time it almost sent me into a face plant. I can't recommend this dress enough, but to wear it you need thick skin.

I looked like the red dress emoji woman
I wore this dress to Mariah's Christmas show in Vegas, so basically the best moment of my life. As you can see in all of the reviews, the neoprene fabric makes curves look killer. I felt like a million dollars and looked like even more than that. It's low cut on top and high-slitted on the bottom BUT not so high-slitted that you can't get away with Spanx. Not that you need them...The neoprene is smoothing and supportive. I can't recommend this dress enough.

Safari meets The Boardroom in this wild frock.
The fit is loose but sexy. The high neck (which I NEVER ORDINARILY WEAR) gives off a very glamorous vibe. Can't recommend this dress enough...Might rent again the next time I have to play with the big cats at work.

Truly felt like a gift to the universe
I normally wear an 8, but ended up with a 12 and liked the way it fit. 8 would have been too small. 10 would have fit, but I might not have wanted it that tight across my stomach...The geometric body cut lends itself to being slightly oversized. in summary, I ooked incredible, and the back bow comes all pre-assembled, so to speak. All of the nervousness I had about making the bow look right when I tied it were for naught because you don't even touch the bow when you zip into the dress.

Beach casual at its finest
I initially thought there was no way I could wear this stylized nightgown outside of the house. But when I put it on I realized it's low cut and your flesh shows through the latticework all the way down the garment, so it's actually quite wearable in public without looking like you just woke up from a long winter's nap. I think it's an incredible beach look.

Could have been cool, but sizing runs really small
I have some curves on my body. These pants smushed in my butt and when I finally squeezed into them they gave me muffin top. I think they could be cute for less curvy women, and if your body is more of a rectangle they are probably TTS, but if you are a curvy KWEEN I strongly recommend sizing up.

Cute shirt for work.
I thought this top was adorable. True to size. I definitely had to wear a tank under it if I didn't want to show cleavage and midriff, but I think it looks cute even with the tank.

Cute, but it kept creeping up
First of all, I have a long torso. So keep that in mind when I say that the waist of this shirt kept creeping up and I had to keep pulling it down. I thought overall it was cute...Like a purple jungle cat pattern. It fit well other than the waist creep. Great for work.

The boobs in this dress are SO WEIRD
I don't know what to say, other than the way the bust is cut is beyond bizarre. I ended up with a baggy section under each breast. It looked CRAZY. There was no way I could wear it, and you can't fix it by wrapping it tighter. My sister with a very different body type also tried it on and had the same experience. Really look hard at some of the submitted photos to see what I mean....

Cute for tall, skinny girlz with short torsos.
Yet another pantsuit I try to love, but I have a long torso, so it pulls down at the top and pulls up at the lady bits. I am also a bit too thick-thighed to pull it off and look good in it.

The side cut-out is EVERYTHING.
The material is clingy but VERY THICK, which means it smooths out every bump or lump. I would have worn this, but I ordered three dresses and decided to go with something more colorful. I love that at 5'6" it didn't touch the ground which means I wouldn't have been forced into heels. Woof. Heels are the WORST. The side cut-out on this dress is sexy as Hell. I will likely rent this dress at some point in the future...Maybe to go see the opera.

Very cute. Flattering for all.
This dress is one of those dresses that flatters everyone. Sadly, it arrived with stinky armpits, so I couldn't wear it. I'd potentially re-rent.

Konichiwa, Japanophiles! This jacket is TOO kawaii!
I ordered the large because medium was unavailable and I HAD to have this jacket. I think that even for a large it fit big, but WOW is it a cool piece. Everyone who saw it fell in love, and true Japanophiles recognized the art as the work of an artist named Mr. The writing on the front loosely translates to "chop it in half" which I think is inexplicably hip. Jacket is lightweight but stiff, so it holds its shape. I would rent it again in a medium.

Jaw dropping. I felt like a million dollars.
I usually wear an 8 in Temperly London, but this 6 was perfect. The dress is stunning, not too tight on my larger booty and thunder thighs, and long enough so that I don't always have to be paranoid that I'm flashing someone. Top fits like a glove if you're medium cheated and go one size down. Not sure this dress will work on women who are tiny up top...

I loved it so much I almost slept in it.
There are mash-ups in this world you never know you needed until they appeared. The cronut. The golden doodle. And now this dress...It's an insanely perfect match up of modern glamour and retro tie dye. The fit is incredible and true to size. It runs a bit long, but all the better for sweeping up the sides in photos. I've seen this dress work on chests of all sizes, but ladies who are larger up top just know you will look a bit EXTRA because there's not much fabric up there to support your girls.

Looks nice from afar but feel cheap
Fit well. Can wear with a flesh-colored bra and the straps stay pretty hidden. I just didn't like the way it felt up-close. It felt cheap and less structured than I expected.

My partner said I looked like Aladdin in his little vest.
I like this romper in theory. In practice there were two issues: 1. I have a long torso and it definitely pulled. The large pant legs hide the fact that the seam was cutting into my crotch, but it felt quite uncomfortable. 2. The way the top is cut and the way the color is laid out, it does look like you're wearing a little vest. Kind-of like Aladdin. I returned this without wearing it. I could see how a short-torso person who loves rubbing bottles and making wishes could really dig it though.

Is it a coat? A kimono? A blanket? A wrap? Does it matter? It's INCREDIBLE!
This coat is everything. EVERYTHING. It's colorful, fun, sassy, has both Indian and Japanese elements without being over the top about it. I put on the coat and I feel happy. I take it off and I feel sad. It's that simple. Much like the jeans from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, this coat fits everyone and looks amazing with everything. Check out my pic? If you love a good power clash then this is your coat. It also looks great over jeans and a white tee. Walking your dog on the beach? This is the coat for that job. Going to work? This coat will keep you cozy when the AC is cranked. It's multi-purpose and the magic never stops. Buying it. Never not wearing it.

Swedish milkmaid...But goth?
Dress is super-cute and has a sassy milkmaid vibe to it. Runs a bit small in the rib cage. I should have sized up. It's totally possible to wear it without a tank underneath, but the cleavage area is deep and narrow and it's not an aesthetic I liked. It made my chest look a bit like a very un-sexy butt crack. With a tank or a higher-cut lace bralette it looks adorable.

Perfect for any occasion
Based on other reviews I was worried that this dress would swallow me whole or feel really formal. If you size down, it's a very on-trend cut (larger cut, interesting shape). It was perfect for work, but would be perfect for a picnic, party, or anything else. It's lightweight and fun and colorful. A true delight. I do recommend wearing a tank underneath unless you want to give people a little flashy-flashy. The way it hooks in the front creates a slit under the bust that was a bit too revealing for work. Or at least for work at a tech company...

Tropical. Fluttery. Perfect.
I wore this dress to a bar and to work. My very low profile bra kept peeking out due to how low cut the dress is. I didn't really mind, but I did feel awkward at work a few times. I think it's probably best to wear it without a bra. It fits TTS and it looks incredible. It's lightweight, moves fluidly, and flutters when you walk. When I stopped at Trader Joe's on my way home from work THREE shoppers stopped me to tell me it was gorgeous and ask where I bought it. It's THAT much of a showstopper.

Abracadabra! Great dress for a magic show.
Okay. So I got this dress and quickly realized it was NOT my steeze. It looks like something that you might wear to a magic show or if you were an accountant at the Bunny Ranch. The combination of arrows, shapes, black on black stripes, and strange lace Victorian gloves everywhere was a bit much. That said, I still wore it to work one day. Here's what I thought: 1. The slit under the pussy bow is very revealing. Even with the bow hanging down untied in the middle I'm pretty sure I flashed a lot of people. 2. The midsection of the dress has no structure and even though it's a looser fit, due to the fabric it is sort-of clingy. Not the MOST attractive. I like more structure in my waistline. 3. No one knew what to make of the dress so they just ignored it and didn't say anything. It's not that it's ugly per se...It's just really strange.

Sunshine and buttercups everywhere I twirled
1. This dress is a perfect size 8. True to size. 2. The lightweight poplin is amazing for summer. The top part of the dress is like wearing nothing, but the pleats and folds on the bottom give the dress the structure it needs for PERFECT swirls and twirls. 3. I have never received so many compliments. The ruffles are fun and the length is perfect for wearing flats if you're not someone who likes heels. 4. My only complaint...The color is a bit more of a mustard than a daffodil. I was disappointed at first because I expected a BRIGHT yellow, but once I put it on I decided that the mustard looked good too.

Pretty sure I could cast spells in this coat
It's magical. Every woman who saw it LOVED it. It shines like it's enchanted! The one drawback is that the neck is quite itchy. I think it fits TTS but if I wanted to wear it snapped up I might have gone up a size.

Classic silhouette. Smells like rebellion.
My own leather jacket is a Schott Perfecto in large which fits perfectly. This jacket was much roomier and I probably needed a medium. That said...It looks tough as nails, it feels soft, it smells like expensive leather, and I love everything about it. I would have kept it longer if it was a smaller size and the weather wasn't finally warming up.

Cute. Professional. Fun.
This top is flowy, comfortable, and cute. It is a bit higher in front, so if you don't want to rock a midriff look then I suggest wearing it with higher rise pants. A woman I work with said I looked like a piece of art, which I took as a supreme compliment.

Great concept. Horrible execution.
This dress is cut like no other dress I've ever owned. The waist is true to size, the rib cage is tiny, and the bust is huge. The 8 barely zipped over my ribs, but the bust was saggy. I would have needed DD breasts at a minimum to fill it out. I was planning on wearing it to work with a bike jacket on top, but because of where the waist hits, I needed a cropped jacket which I didn't have. So I tried the dress on and sent it back immediately.

LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS GIFT!
I have a broad back and blouses/blazers are always tight. I was petrified that this dress wouldn't fit because all of the reviews said that there is no give in the waist (and seemingly anywhere else). I ordered the 12R with the 10R as a back-up because I am curvy and designer dresses almost always run small. Then I crossed my fingers and waited. Much to my absolute glee, the 10R fit PERFECTLY despite being a crepe fabric that, per other reviews, doesn't have much give. It's comfortable and long-sleeved, which means you don't need to wear a coat over it. PERFECT for California. Moreover, the dress is a magnet for compliments and it's the perfect dress to wear to a holiday party because it makes you look like a gift wrapped up with ribbon.
