Mina Midi Shirt Dress
Ted Baker London
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 32B
Weird fabric that bunched in the butt and stomach
For a good sheath you need good fabric. This felt weirdly matronly and bunched in weird places.

Great for work. Very Audrey Hepburn!
I loved the quality of the thick material, and the length is good for work (I'm 5'4 and hit just above the knee). The black is versatile with many tights and accessories and/or a pop of color. The only trouble with this dress is the wool is such that it gets very, very linty.

Haven't worn it yet
I love the bell shape of Cynthia Rowley dresses with the bright patterns. This one was so swooshy at the bottom, however, that if you wear a normal length cardigan, the back will protrude like you're some kind of hunchback. I ordered a shrug to correct the issue since the dress certainly is cute.

I loved the colors!
I didn't have an issue with the length as I am petite and would wear tights, but the stiff fabric of this dress kind of makes you feel like you're wearing a bag. Loose in the waist. Length was fine with tights unless you're sitting down.

Grandeur Dress

Usual Size: 4

Not good for curvy women
Cool mod design, but tight in the butt and loose in the stomach. Does not work for hour glass or pear shaped; you need to be fairly narrow all the way down.

Reed Angular Dress
Milly
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 32B
Baggy and kind of bland
Didn't have much shape and an awkward length to tuck in unless you wear something really high waisted. Didn't feel special enough compared to my other Rent the Runway items. Maybe better for a more full figured person - I was swimming in the 2. Cute sleeves - had a lot of potential.

Ikat Ruffle Top

Great fit with bright, elaborate pattern
This dress fit me perfectly; if I had a larger bust, I would need to size up, but since I don't, the 2 was perfect. The skirt is multilayered, which makes for a nice flounce party effect. Might be a lot of look for daytime, but it was perfect for a night time party. At first I thought the pattern was too busy, but when I put the dress on, it felt like fit and flare me with a little kick. Highly recommend!

Colors are showstopping
Great colors, super cute shape, Duran Duran meets Twiggy. Boat neck is a little loose. Wore a regular bra that peeked out at a certain angle, but nothing too annoying. Loved the bows! Dress does wrinkle easily. Feels a little more daytime than evening.

The unique pattern along with the fit and quality fabric. Funky but formal!
Perfect if you are small busted with junk in the trunk. Super good quality, fitted in the waist and top, but the bottom half flows in the most luxurious way. Great color palette. Doesn't wrinkle at all.

Comfortable with a swingy skirt.
My favorite aspects of this dress were the design, the unique neckline, and the material. Totally wrinkle proof, and the pattern is super unique without being overwhelming. I wore it as a party planner for the opening event at the Independent Film Fest of Boston. Received compliments all night. I wore a 2 and the fit was perfect.
