Nice casual top
Lightweight soft material. Not hot to wear. A little boxy, not fitted at all but I knew that from the pictures when I rented it. A nice everyday top.

Had to call my neighbor to get this off!
This dress is a nice color and although it appears it would have some stretch to it, it doesn't at ALLLLL! I had to really wiggle into it. I got the 34. I'm 5'2" and #100... could barely get it on. Was ok once it was on... was very tight through the rib cage though and I have a small one even being a small person, my rib cage is tiny. When I tried to take it off, I stopped when I heard a couple threads pop... I put on workout tights and my lovely neighbor had to help me take it off!!!

Nice everyday bag
Received this new with tags. It is well made, nice leather, and the color goes with everything. My only complaint is that the lining is dark, making it very hard to find things inside even with not a ton of things in there. It is large and roomy. Holds a ton if you are one who carries a lot. The strap is thick so the one time I did put a couple books with everything else, and it was heavy, it was still comfortable to carry, unlike some with skinny straps that will cut into your shoulder with more weight, if that makes sense? Overall, a very nice bag. Would be perfect if the lining were a lighter color.

casual, easy, and looks great
Heavy weight fabric but not hot. I'm 5'2"/XS and the V neck was a little on the low side. Nothing that I felt I needed to wear a tank under, but for work, you may if you're shorter, too. Easy to dress up or down. May rent this one again!

It was an odd cut and wasn't flattering on me.
I'm a standard hourglass shape... my issue is always length, as I'm short. This, however, did fit sizewise, ie, going up or down a size wouldn't have made a difference, I don't think... Was tight in some areas and too loose in others. I didn't wear it.

a very nice, everyday handbag
Think I was the first to receive the bag I was sent. It still had the tags in place. Like all bags this shape (larger on the bottom than the opening is...and is unfortunately a shape I do like a lot!) if you have smaller items loose in the bottom of it... have a heck of a time finding them! But was a pretty color, was a nice size, and I was able to carry it in my hand, by my side (I'm 5'2" so lots won't clear the ground that way), and also could comfortably have it on my shoulder.

Super cute but is HOT!!!
Wore this for a girls night out. Was a usual Florida night-time temperature... high 70's and I was so sweaty under this, had to peel it down off of me both in the bathroom (you will have to have someone help you back into it, too!) and when I got home, the whole lining was almost soaked! Buuuutttt.... So super cute, flattering, different but still classy. I liked the pockets it has (until the insides were sweaty, there, too).... I very well will rent this again when we have 50ish degree evenings, wear it with a light jacket and can take that on and off, as needed...

Very large... didn't wear it.
I wanted to love this, but once I had it on, didn't like it at all. Was very large and the skirt length was odd... I am 5'2" though, so maybe it's better for taller ladies?

Thicker fabric than I expected, but still not hot to wear.
The sleeves were different than I expected, but I liked them. Great color. Form flattering, not too loose or too tight. Great top!

Perfect for a retirement party
Another great wrap dress from DVF. The material holds together at the neck's V better than some. At times, I've had to wear a tank under these, but didn't with this one. It is a heavy, but not hot, material with the metallic thread. I did have to really watch how I stood or sat, as the material slides past each other very easily and sitting down, could have easily had it fall open to my waist if I didn't hold it! But was aware, so was careful and got a lot of compliments on this. Will be a great one for casual holiday parties too.

Runs large but still cute
Overall ran very large. Had a lot of extra fabric in the back crotch/seam area. Not in a hanging down way, but if I held that center seam and pulled straight back, was big as if I needed a bubble butt to fill it out, if that makes sense. The waist was also large, but it fit well enough to wear with a cream tank and a dark blue denim AG jacket with the sleeves rolled up, white Jack Purcell's. We're cute overall, just a little big. The metal studs did clack against each other when I walked but that didn't bother me. It may for some so thought I'd mention it!

Sexy and classy
I did have to have help to zip the back of the top. Could do the skirt part myself. Wore on a first date with black heels, black Kendra Scott earrings, a single large god ring and a brushed gold clutch. A head turner and comfortable to wear. I did, later, when walking to another venue, have to stop and unzip the bottom of the skirt's zipper about 6", as it was tight and my stride had to be super short with it zipped all the way down. Loved this dress and my date did too!

Very, very long dress!
Should have listened to the rest of you guys! At 5'2", I would have needed 6" heels and it still would have brushed the ground. It fit on top and was cute otherwise though!

Lighter weight, cute, nice for a spring evening out
Ended up not wearing this but only because I didn't have anywhere I was going in the evening that week. Liked it but didn't love it, so sent it back to be able to get something else. It is very well made. I received it new, there was the tissue still wrapped around the zipper pull and the belt came separately in a little pouch. Was light weight so wouldn't be the thing to wear if you needed something a little warmer on a chilly night.

Great color, not as oddly draped as it appeared
Wore out to a comedy club with dark jeans and medium brown leather very high platform heels... got a ton of compliments on it. The picture looked like it may lay oddly but it didn't. No give to the fabric and it fit me well with the shorter length but I'm 5'2" and also very short waisted. It hit very barely below my natural waist. If you're taller and wear a smaller size, would definitely have some belly showing! Great color and a fun top to wear!

Trendy but classic, fun and eye catching
Wore this to see Yo-Yo Ma and The Silk Road Ensemble at the philharmonic (if you haven't heard them, AMAZING!) Wish I had taken a picture. Wore with white jeans and nude strappy heels. Carried a larger sized (for evening) black leather bag. A dainty gold and black necklace, black drop earrings and WOW! Loved loved loved this! The sleeves are slit to about chest height but the fabric is heavier so they just swing nicely when you walk. The fabric overlaps so your arms aren't hanging out either. Initially, I thought the off the shoulder part was going to slip down and I'd have to be constantly readjusting it, but I didn't. There's no stretch to the fabric so it stayed in place. I'm generally not a fan of off the shoulder styles, but this one... I'll for sure rent again or buy when it is available (and less than the 10% off it is now). Gorgeous top!

My neighbor had to unzip me!
Taking this off the hanger, I had a little difficulty unzipping it at the couple points that the fringed parts of the fabric and the zipper met. Should have listened to the thought of "Hmmm, what if I can't get it unzipped when I'm trying to take it off?" I ignored that thought, put it on anyway just for size. It fit well through my rib cage, waist and hips. There is zero stretch to the fabric and I have a really small rib cage. It was tight and pulling a bit across my chest (32D). This would be better on a flatter chested person, and I'd suggest sizing up. So...the zipper... I go to take it off, get it unzipped past the first fringe, but the second, after 15 minutes of contortions in front of my full length mirror, I put on running shorts under it, and grabbed a sports bra, texted my neighbor and had to walk to her house and have her unzip it for me (she had difficulty but got it!) Luckily, I didn't bump into other neighbors but would have probably laughed with them too if I had!

Dressed this down with white sneakers for daytime. Was cuter on than I'd anticipated and was very comfortable. Had enough stretch to be clingy but not tight at all.

Nice enough, a little loose in the stomach
Very very thin fabric but isn't sheer at all. I found the stomach area "hung" a little to where if I had a big dinner, wouldn't be flattering as this fabric would show every last lump or bump. I was just trying it on for size here, sent it back without wearing it.

Cute but not what I expected
I thought the back had straps going down, didn't realize it was ribbon/straps that tied in a bow with long tails. The waist was a little on the larger side. This pic, I was trying it on for size, no bra in the picture but would probably do a NuBra with it... didn't have anywhere to wear it in the upcoming week, so returned it. I'll probably rent it again for a girls night out.

Stretchy and comfortable
Dressed this down with white sneakers. Wore it twice. Once to a hockey game with a denim AG jacket and once out to happy hour... was perfect for both. I have a small rib cage and waist and a relatively larger chest... stretched slightly to hug all my curves without getting stretched out as some knits can do!

Very small across the chest
I ended up not wearing this. It has zero stretch to the fabric, which is usually ok, but the entire sides of my strapless bra were hanging out. The rest of the dress fit me well so for someone smaller chested, is a gorgeous blue color and the back is a neat, but subtle nice difference vs usual dresses

Nice enough dress... stiffer fabric and brighter than I expected though!
Size-wise, standing up, it fit well. Sitting down, the whole torso area didn't stay clingy/form fitting and ballooned out a bit in the front. The fabric has give to it but isn't stretchy to keep it's shape like some other knit dresses do. I'm shorter so the length was longer than pictured, which I knew it would be... Looking in the mirror, was a whole lot of red and was a brighter red than pictured. I did wear it to my work event for the day and was ready to take it off as soon as I got home.

Eye-catching but not over-the-top. Fit snugly but not tight anywhere but at the hemline, was a little snug when taking larger steps. So flattering... I wore it several times before sending it back.... Loved it!

Great for a work event
Fit just as pictured. It was fitted but not tight at the waist and light weight and loose everywhere else. The only issue I had was I couldn't feel the back of the skirt area at all on my skin. I kept running my hands over the sides of my bum to make sure it was covered! If it was a breezy day, I wore this inside, this skirt would definitely have some wardrobe malfunction issues! Was beautiful and comfortable to wear all day for a work event though... I loved it!

Bright stars... My 11yo son said he "looked like Justin Bieber", wearing it. Haha!
I should have looked more closely at the photos. The stars were shiny and really stood out. Too much for my taste so I didn't wear it. The leather was really nice, so soft, and the inside fuzzy lining was even softer! Runs really small... this pic is my 11yo 4'10" 92# son. He wanted to put it on, declared he "looked like Justin Bieber in this jacket", and took this picture of himself. Was so cute and funny, had to add it to my review, and for sizing too... it is small!!!

Eye-catching, perfect for dinner, top!
Very well constructed... The back zipper unzips all but an inch at the waist and it was hard to wriggle into, I had already gotten ready so had to put a light towel over my head and face or I definitely would have gotten my makeup on it. The fabric has no stretch and I couldn't zip myself up, needed help! Buuuutttt... once it was on, was so pretty! It fit exactly as pictured. I'm short and short waisted and the length was right at my hip bone. Could see taller girls that wear a smaller size, it being way too short on, but was perfect for me!

More casual than expected
A very heavy knit. Thick and literally a heavy dress when you pick it up. Had a brushed/vintage look to the fabric. Don't know if it came that way or is from laundering a bunch of times when returned? The neck and center seam somehow made this seem super casual. Not a dress it up or down type dress

Very cute date night dress
Heavy fabric. Standing, hung well. Sitting down or walking outside with wind, watch out for wardrobe malfunctions! I had my entire thigh exposed a few times but luckily nothing further than that. I wore it with a thin black tank top underneath as the V went down past the bottom of the front of my bra. Could have pinned it, but the black tank and black collar blended well. Got many compliments on it when out to dinner and at the Philharmonic. Will rent it again next year when it's cold again.

Classic leather jacket
Fit as expected with plenty of room in the arms, chest, and the length was good on me, but I am short. It's not a warm jacket, but in S Florida, I didn't expect or need it to be. Perfect with a thin long sleeved shirt under it for low 60's days. The color is exactly as pictured.

A great everyday dress in a flattering color...
The fabric is slippery against itself so the V neck and skirt openings didn't stay put very well. Easily remedied with wearing a black tank top underneath that didn't show through from the back at all. Just had to also be careful sitting down as the skirt part would have my entire thigh out, if I wasn't. A gorgeous orangey red color. Was knee length on me and I'm 5'2". A great, classic, DVF wrap dress!

A nice, everyday bag...
The color was as pictured, went with everything I wanted it too. I used it for a week and liked it. Looked hardly used, if at all. The leather was soft and still had that nice new leather smell. Big enough to carry what I wanted to, but not too big.
