More exciting than a plain black sweater but just as cozy

Cute, but grew throughout the day
I loved this and loved the material, but it didn't hold its shape very well throughout the day.

Subtle twist on a classic
Reached for this one quite a few times for different occasions. It was great with pants for work but I also paired it with a midi skirt for brunch and white jeans for dinner.

Great for work
Wore this one several times and kept it longer because it was so easy to throw on for work but look put together. It did run a little small across the bust, so I was glad I sized up.

Sneaky fancy
I love this dress and would totally purchase if the price tag wasn’t so steep. I wore it to a wedding in NYC and received tons of compliments. It’s super slimming and super comfortable—the material is a thick and sturdy but stretchy ponte-like fabric.

Perfect go to
This was the best lighter weight sweater to throw on for the holidays at home when home is down south and it's still 50 degrees. Wore it several times and almost purchased

Super easy to throw this on but still feel a little polished. The fabric is thick, which provides a little bit of structure. Wore this all over NYC and to work a few times!

Love love love
If one of the buttons on this sweater hadn't been broken, I would have bought it. I wore it over and over from work to Friendsgiving to dinner with friends to thanksgiving with my in-laws. Super easy to throw on and look polished. Not itchy at all. Warm but not sweltering. Will definitely rent again!

Just fine
This one is super cozy and warm but there's nothing really unique or special about it. It was easy to throw on with jeans to run errands, but it didn't have any sort of wow factor.

A great staple
I've rented this one now a few times and keep going back. It's easy to throw on for work and the thicker material made it great for the early spring transition

great staple piece
i loved this and wish I'd had more opportunities for wear but it was just too warm in DC this time around. I'll rent again in the winter to wear with boots and different accessories.

great fall transition piece
I wore this out to dinner and to work in the early fall. The colors are great for fall and it's cute with boots, but it's not super heavy so it's nice to throw on when its October but still warm out.

just fine
A little disappointed in this one because the brand has become my tried and true. It was okay. Nothing exciting, and kind of fit like a sack. I wore it to work once or twice because it was an easy thing to throw on and walk out the door.

Printed Tie Neck Pleated Mini Dress

great transition piece
This was a super easy piece to throw on for work when it was late September but still hot outside. It felt fall, but was still fine in warmer weather. The way the sleeves are sewn makes it a little hard to raise your arms too high, but it was just fine in a work setting. I found the waistline and belts to be flattering, too.

Great summer event dress
I wore this to everything from a bridal brunch to game day. It was the perfect summer dress because it was easy to throw on but was also easy to dress up or down. Would have purchased if I hadn't worn it so many times, but it definitely runs big.

easy throw on shirt
I ordered with the matching skirt and would have worn to a bridal brunch if it hadn't been 100+ degrees out. I did wear just the shirt to work a few times and it was easy with jeans or white jeans!

Great summer party dress
I’ve worn this to two wedding welcome parties now and would absolutely buy it if I didn’t have so many pictures in it. Easy to throw on but dresses up easily and is great for a beach wedding because it’s cotton and breathes well.

i wish i would have bought this. I wore it on our honeymoon several times and to work several times. it's a little oversized and i could have gone down a size, but the draw string helps.

great summer throw on
this was the easiest dress to throw on but feel dressed up. I think i wore it four separate times while I rented and each was to a different occasion. it looks dressy, but feels comfy. easy with a wedge or tennis shoes.

perfect to "dress up" confortably
wore this to dinner on our honeymoon and was tempted to buy it. the cut is super flattering and the dress itself fit beautifully. very high quality, though it is heavier than i anticipated.

No edits
I loved everything about this dress, and I've rented it a handful of times for different things. It was the perfect length, even though I'm only about 5'3, and didn't pull across the shoulders or chest like some shirt dresses tend to--and it has pockets.

The color wasn’t quite as orange in person which was nice. This was the best to throw on for work with flats or sneakers

Perfect for casual Friday
Rented this for Friday work days/every day and LOVE it. Only complaint, which is typical for this brand on me, is that the dress runs a little small across the shoulders.

I did not end up wearing this dress.
Loved the dress, but, as the other reviews have mentioned, it runs super large. I could've ordered 2 or 3 sizes down and been plenty comfortable. Great colors, though! It looks a bit brighter in person than online. Had smaller sizes been available, I would have exchanged.
