Beautiful dress and perfect for a nice event
I wore this dress to high holiday services and I received many compliments. I am larger up top so I did wear a tank top underneath because it is a little low cut. The buttons didn't come undone, thankfully, and the length was great for the conservative environment. I received a few compliments on the dress, which never happens at services, so I'll take that as a win! It was a fun dress to wear and allowed me to be fashionable, keep up with my kids, and look like I had time to shop and find the perfect dress!

Fun work dress for a tropical office
I wore this to some offsite meetings in a tropical location and it was a fun, comfortable dress for the day. It does run small so make sure to size 1-2 sizes up. It fits larger busts without being boxy and the length was fine for work, if you are short (I'm 5'2"). I loved the colors and the material and I would definitely rent again for my next trip to this site. Bonus - it travels well!

Nice work dress but not the best for larger busts
I wore this dress to meetings in a tropical location and it was the right style / dress code for the day. It was light, flattering and comfortable when I was presenting and when I was sitting the rest of the day. My only complaint is that the top buttons did come undone twice (thankfully not while presenting) so it may not be the best dress if you are larger up top. I loved the ruffle at the bottom and the way the buttons crossed the dress but I wish there was just a tad more room up top.

Nice work dress that travels well
I wore this dress while visiting the corporate office and was very pleased with how well it traveled in my suitcase. Although the medium fit well, I probably would have been fine with a small. The medium was a little baggy but not so big that I felt like I had no figure. It is great for larger busts without making you look boxy. The material isn't too thick and was fine in 70 degree weather but I wouldn't wear it at a higher temp. I walk to this office (about 1/4 mile) and the dress was great for the walk and my meetings throughout the day. I felt comfortable, fashionable and confident. I would rent this dress again.

Cute, fun top for work or the weekend
I wore this top to work and then to a casual event in the evening and I felt it transitioned well. The top was very comfortable and the cinch in the middle is very flattering. I didn't love the bell sleeves but they didn't get in the way at work and since the material is thin it really didn't bother me. I love how the top fits up top while not being baggy everywhere and still flattering. I would definitely rent again.

Nice, comfortable everyday dress
I wore this dress to work and it was comfortable throughout the entire day. The length was fine on me but may be too short for taller women. It fits larger busts well without being baggy in other areas. I thought the shape and style were very flattering but I wasn't the biggest fan of the pattern. A+ for fit and style and a B- for pattern.

Great work event or everyday dress
I loved this dress! I work it to an industry meeting and felt comfortable and confident all day. The color is a true blue and the material is comfortable with enough stretch to be comfortable sitting and standing. I wear a 4 or 6 and got this dress in a 6. It was very comfortable in a 6 but I could have probably fit in the 4. Unlike many dresses, this one was well fitted for larger busts without being large all over. It doesn't hug your stomach but accents a curvy figure in the best way. I will definitely rent this dress again.

Nice, girly top
I wore this to work with a white, fitted knee length skirt. I am usually a small and sometimes a medium in shirts but the small in this shirt was fine, if not a little big. I probably could have worn an XS but it wasn't so big that it didn't look good. The material is wonderfully soft and held up well to all day wear (no wrinkles). It was a flattering top and I would definitely rent it again.

Cute, fun everyday or work top
I surprisingly liked this top and even received a compliment on it! It fit me perfectly, not too short, but I did have to wear a tank top underneath because it is see through and I wore it to work. The detail made it fun to wear. It was comfortable all day and kept its form well. For reference I am 5'2" but if I was taller then it would be too short for the office.

Beautiful dress for a special event
I ordered size 44 and it was a little big, probably would have fit in the 42 perfectly. But, I didn't bother ordering the correct size since it was too dressy for work. It would be great for a nighttime event (show, nice dinner, etc.) but I would have felt out of place wearing it to the office (and I wear dresses all the time to the office). Next time I have a special event this dress will be on the top of my list to rent.

Cute, small summer purse
The purse is cute and fine for everyday, pending you don't carry around a lot of stuff. It is a great color for the summer and the leather seems to be wearing well. I liked that it was cross-body but felt the strap could have been a little thicker to carry the weight better.

Nice everyday work dress
I originally ordered this dress in size 4 and it was too small. I am usually a 4 or 6 but I was definitely a 6 in this dress. The dress is well made and not too heavy that I was uncomfortable in the Texas summer heat. I wore it to work and it wore well through out the day, no adjustments needed. It's a nice dress, nothing memorable but very cute and comfortable.

Flattering work dress / power dress
I loved this dress! I wore it work and felt amazing all day. The cut is extremely flattering, it hides your stomach while accentuating your curves. I am either a 4 or 6 and the size 4 was a perfect fit, no need to size up. I would recommend this dress for presentations, important meetings, etc. I will definitely rent again.

Really pretty dress but not for work
This was a really pretty dress but not practical for work. It would be great for a Sunday brunch, bridal / baby shower, etc. The details are beautiful and it does have some see through parts but nothing inappropriate. I am either a 4 or 6 in most dresses and the 6 was a great fit, size 4 would have been too small.

Great work dress that accentuates the good and hides the bad
I loved this dress! I wore it to work and felt confident all day. It would be a great dress for a presentation or conference. It was comfortable and was very flattering. I am either a 4 or 6 and I choose the 6 and it was the right size.

Runs EXTREMELY small
I listened to the reviews and ordered a size up, L. I am normally a small - medium so I assumed the large would fit. It did not fit at all! I couldn't even get it zipped halfway. For reference I am 5'2 - 135lbs - 32DDD. It's a beautiful dress but runs very, very small.

Fun work top that fit well and had great detail
I wore this top to a work summit and to the office and loved wearing it both times. The top is made with great material and the button detail added a nice little bit of flare to make it stand out. Fit - it fit great around my chest and was a little big around the stomach area but not enough to make it look bad or stick out. I would rent this again.

Nice work shirt with a little flair for something different
This shirt fit well but was a little tight in the chest so it may not be the best fit for bigger busts. I loved the material and the detail in the back made me feel well-dressed. I would rent this again just for fun but it wasn't anything amazing that I couldn't live without.

Compliments all day!
I wasn't sure about this dress when I first tried it on but I decided to wear it anyway. It fit true to size but if you are between sizes I would size up. The material is high quality and thick and the cut is very flattering. I received compliments all day on the dress - that rarely happens! I ended up loving this dress and will rent it again.

Ok shirt but nothing special
This shirt was ok but I didn't end up wearing it. I wasn't a huge fan of how it flared out at the bottom as I felt it made me look a little wide. It did fit true to size and didn't show off too much cleavage, which I prefer. It was a nice top but I just didn't care for it.

Great shirt just not for women large up top
I didn't get to wear this shirt as it fit in the waist fit and looked great but it wouldn't stay closed up top and that made it look funny. It didn't look right even with a tank top underneath. I loved the quality and weight of the shirt but it wasn't made for my body type. This would look amazing on someone with a smaller chest.

Great summer dress for everyday or party
I loved this dress! I brought it to Vegas for my husband's 40th birthday celebration and I loved wearing it around during the day. I wore it with my Tom's and felt confident and sexy. It did show a lot of cleavage but that was okay for the occasion. It was also tight around the stomach so if you are sensitive in that area I would size up. I would probably be a little uncomfortable wearing it around family or just running around on the weekends at home wearing it. The length was perfect it was just the cleavage that I wouldn't be comfortable showing off every day. I will definitely rent this dress again for fun, special occasions as I don't want my kids seeing mom in this dress!

Well made shirt for work
I liked the colors and quality of the shirt but I wasn't in love with it. I had to wear a tank top under it because it showed a little too much skin for work. It was flattering but the tie didn't stay in place well throughout the day. It was comfortable and pretty but I probably won't rent it again.

Nice black work dress but nothing outstanding
I rented this for work and it was very comfortable for a day at the office. I loved the thick material and the length (a little longer than my usual dresses - right past my knees) but it was nothing special. It was very work appropriate and well made but didn't stand out. The stomach area is forgiving and it fist larger busts well. I probably won't rent again but it was a very nice dress to wear.

Great dress for work conference, presentation and everyday.
I first wore this to a work conference and it was comfortable to walk around and sit in all day. It has a little stretch but kept its form very well. The sleeves kept me from freezing in the conference room and the detailed cut at the top of the dress kept it interesting. I felt confident and comfortable in the dress. I loved it so much I kept it for another week to wear to the office and now I am wearing it to have my head shots for work done. I'm even contemplating buying it because I have found so many places to wear it! It fits true to size (I wore a 4 and I'm between a 4 and 6) and it is flatter in the waist and works well with a large bust (32DDD). The length was great on my 5'2" frame.
