Cute and surprisingly warm
Wore with jeans in the office. Little short for my long torso. Went with small which fit fine, wondered if Med would have been a bit longer.

Just ok
I didn't like the fabric. It felt slinky. Had to wear a cami underneath. Looked great with black work pants. Just didn't love wearing it.

Dream dress
I had gotten another dress thru my normal subscription for this wedding but didnt like it so ordered this at last minute. Based on reviews I got a size 10 and 8 as back up (instead of 12). 8 fit perfectly everywhere, but for me was a bit tight around the mid section. 10 was more comfortable, but bust area was big and gapped when dancing. I think this is more of a me issue. I have a thick rib-cage area and belly, but no chest. I got a ton of complements. The dress colors are gorgeous, hangs easily, a bit heavy but not hot in 75 degree outdoor wedding. the length was perfect without shoes, just covering my feet. I did wear a 2" kitten heel. The problem I did have was few times a heel would get caught on rear flowers on the dress and I would have fallen if I was walking fast or whatever. I ended up switching to ballet flats mid reception and that was perfect.

waist is tiny
Glad I read the reviews and ordered size 32. I usually wear size 29-30 from other designers. Waist is tiny, also really high rise which I did love. But for it, it wasn't that flattering as the hip/butt area was too big made me look just wide.

Loved this dress
I wore this for a wine party hosted at my house. It was a bit warm as the fabric is thick for a 60 degree day, but I got a ton of complements and was comfortable all day. If I have one complaint, the mock neck was a bit tight. I kept having to pull it down or fidget around with the collar. I do dislike turtlenecks so this may be just me.

Love the style, perfect for work but was big
I am usually size 29-31 in jeans, pants 8-10. Got this in size 10 but it was too big. But end of a work day of sitting alot, it was stretched and was hanging off my hip. I still loved the style & fabric. Will rent again in a smaller size.

So cute but tight around neck
I loved this as a lover of martinis. The neck was so small, it was tight getting my head thru, and it felt restricting thru the day around the neck where I kept pulling it down. Everywhere else was loose fitting.

Couldn't figure out how to style it
Lovely color and fabric, I was hoping to wear this to an all day work meeting, but couldn't figure out what to do with ties. It felt tight around waist and hip, and I would've been fidgeting with it all day so didn't wear. Too bad b/c it's a perfect winter sweater dress otherwise.

Weird fit, didn't work for me
It's thick and fabric is lovely, but the fit was weird. The top area was big and fabric would bunch up, so the mid section would ride up. it didn't work for me, and didn't wear.

I've rented other COH jeans in size 30. This was way too big, and the wide legs were like a dress. There was just way too much fabric, it was heavy.

Didn't work for me, waist was too small
I wear size 10 in Derek Lam consistently. This didn't fit my waist, I couldn't button the cardigan, and it looked weird to wear unbuttoned b/c of the peplum look.

Loved it!
Yes, this dress is modest and conservative but with the right amount of sparkle. I wore it to husband's work holiday party. Got many compliments. I was comfortable, felt pretty and festive. I was worried 8 may be a bit small b/c I'm thick in the waist, but elastic helps and it fit perfectly everywhere else. I didn't know what to do with ties around the neck, so just left them hanging.

super cute, beware of tiniest buttons
oh my buttons, so difficult to get in and out of due to 6-7 tiniest buttons. at the end of night, I just hooked the top one and left others undone b/c it was so tiring. Torso worked for a long torso girl here, and thought shorts could be a tad longer. Sleeves are bit long. But so cute! got few compliments.

Easy to wear, has pockets
As many noted already, it needs some shaping around the mid-section. I was fine with it, was super easy to wear and pockets are a bonus. I can't pull of a mini dress typically, but felt that this one was just long enough.

Wore on a city vacation walking around all day, also wore shorts underneath to keep modest. Front of the skirt would not sit flat, and as many noted, there is just too much fabric on top & it's just weird.

Loved this knit sweater, thought about keeping it. The bright white around neck and wrists is great, and material is high quality. Thick and warm, probably good for 50 degree weather, as it was warm on a 60s day.

Perfect fall dress
I loved this dress, had it saved in my favorites for a while. Rented for a girls day celebrating few things for late lunch and cocktails. I'm a solid 8-10 nowadays, and kinda wished I had gotten 8 vs 10 b/c the back side of waist is elastic (and I have a thick mid-section). Otherwise, the dress was a dream. I let the neck ties just loose, and they didn't bother me much. Pockets are a fun surprise. Perfect color for fall, and get few compliments.

Satin jumper with great fall colors
I was surprised how much I liked this jumper. I have a long torso, and this fit great. It was a bit difficult to get out of shoulders, but what jumper is not.. Fabric is satin, super soft, have pockets, and length was great on my frame. I would rent it again.

perfect, if you never have to lift your arms
I really liked this shirt. It was perfect to work from home and be on video. Fabric is great. On me, the length was short. so if you have to lift your arms, you would be showing half of your torso.

Lovely dress
I picked this on a whim, and ended up loving it. It was perfect for a dinner date with my husband. The straps are adjustable, with buttons. With being on shortest button, it still slipped off my shoulders once in a while but not annoyingly often. I was a bit worried about it looking to have a drop waist, but it fit perfectly and length was perfect on me 5'7". It was a bit loose around my chest A/B cup when I was seated.

Cute dress for an outdoor event
I wore this to a polo match in Oct. It was good for a transitional weather, with a jean jacket in AM then without in PM as day got warmer. Straps were helpful to adjust the top, and I was able to go without a bra. I would have liked to wear a strapless bra to get some lift but back is too low for that.

Couldn't wear, too short and arms too tight
I couldn't wear this b/c it was too short in the front. Then the arms felt like circulation was going to cut off. It's elastic, but ribbon was super double knotted and wasn't worth trying to loosen them.

It felt a little "young" on me, probably b/c I felt weird wearing a dress that's a little short. The eyelet details are really cute, but I did wear a gray cami underneath b/c holes show your bra.

I may try this again in size 2. It's a bit short for my liking, but it was easy to throw on and go. V-neck chest area was a bit loose on me, reason why I want to try a size 2 next time.

Top is Navy not black, has pockets
I really liked this dress. It's an easy work dress or for dinner out. Pockets are nice! I thought the waist line where knit changes to the skirt is in a bit odd place for me, long-torso. Built-in belt helps.

Love the concept & style, too small couldn't wear
I loved this skirt, I was going to pair with a red top for a college football game. I'm usually a solid 8 or 10 especially with this designer. I couldn't get it zipped past my hip, and I got a sz 10. and there is no hook or button at the top, just zipper that goes all the way. I couldn't make it work at all so couldn't wear.

ugh, felt like I wasted a spot to give this a try. It's pretty short in length especially if you have long torso. The color is more tomato than red. I coudn't button bottom 2. Tried to wear it opened but just didn't work for me.
