Fun well designed
Great thick stretchy material. The waistband is really good to create a cute figure. The design is a bit unusual with the sides pretty open and a nice suggestive black band :) definitely catches compliments!

Stunning festive fun
Fit was perfect for my torso length but really long. Pockets! Incredibly well designed. I've never had so many complete strangers come up and compliment my outfit--men and women. This outfit is stunning.

Bohemian eleganza
This dress is a bit hard to describe. The color makes it somewhat understated but it beckons the observer to look more closely. It's best appreciated up close, as the lacework is pretty intricate. Generally compliments that it's a nice dress came only after an opportunity to touch and carefully notice the texture. The skirt has tons of fabric, almost like a flamenco dress, so it's really fun to dance in it. I followed recommendations that the dress ran really large so ordered a small, if my bust was smaller I probably could have even gotten a xs. The most challenging part of the large shape were the low armpit holes, I ended up wearing a gray lace bralet that I thought was ok showing a bit. I recommend belting the dress.

Very cute but a bit too casual
I liked the cut but the material was just too casual. Think: incredibly fancy quilted sweatshirt.

Ultra too cool for school loose shell
Feel like a badass with this vest. It's for your Mad Max party but you can also get away with it in the everyday. The material is kind of waxy in that it doesn't try to fake leather at all, but it's comparable. Surprisingly comfortable fabric that also felt ok wearing directly on skin.

Compliments from strangers!
Glamorous yet casual, complete strangers on the street were coming up to me and complimenting my dress about once an hour! I generally stay away from maxis because I think they wash out my figure, but this dress is fitted to the waist which I really liked. I followed recommendations to size up, so a 6 worked perfectly although I would usually wear a 4.

Get compliments on your skirt & blow everyone's minds away that they're culottes!
So fun and super edgy for work yet conservative! Very high wasted and below the knee with pleats so it really does look like a skirt. I counteracted all of my coworkers inaccurate assessments by doing jumping jacks to show off the inseam! I love the cut and the lines. They're unlined pants though, which seemed a bit cheap to me

Angels shed sequins and then you scooped them all up
Wore this to Rihanna and I felt badass and dangerous like a snake, yet cute like a lizard. I got compliments from strangers! It sheds sequins so don't wear it if leaving a trail of evidence is not to your liking.

Feel like a boss
Ready to feel like a complete femme fatale and tell the world you mean business? I wore this day time and night time to a rock show and felt well really cool. My friends tried it on throughout the day and everyone had this immediate almost magical reaction upon putting it on that they felt totally baller. The fit was kinda big on me but it seems like the fit will end up looking cool, regardless of body size. I wish the red showed up a bit more but it's a small complaint really

Form fitting unusual and eye catching
I loved this dress so much and never wanted to return it. It was a really thick sweater material, snug and comfy. The waist was perfectly fitted to the small of my waist so brought out curves nicer than any other sweater dress I have worn. Lots of unusual patterns and textures, kind of shiny ribbon, asymmetry in pattern, striking attention grabbing piece. Expect compliments!

Stark classic patterns meet contemporary look
I wore this sweater dress to a fancy dinner at The Awahneee Hotel in Yosemite. I received compliments all around--from men, older women, 20something women. The stark patterns are dramatic but were perfect in a classic rustic upscale wintry setting. I would totally wear it again but probably wouldn't purchase because it felt prone to stretching out.

Brilliant flower patterns catch the eye
I received tons of compliments on the blazer but didn't love it personally the abstract patterns were cool. The neoprene lapel never seemed to fold quite right, and I thought the cut was a bit long for my generally fits-well-off-the-rack torso.

The most versatile silver blazer you ever did see
This little boxy blazer works so well I had to buy it. So fashion forward it's timeless. I wore it for: job interview, casual work day, opening night of a film festival, it goes on and on...

Fantasy springtime princess dress
I wore this dress to my family's Easter dinner and it was very elegant wow wow wow. The material is quite thin so it flutters in the wind. I think the thinness of the material makes it rather seductive (parents said I was not allowed to wear it to church), even though it is loosely fitting and not particularly revealing. I probably could have worn a 2, but then again, I think the point of this dress is more loose and flowing than tight and sexy.

Totally wacky and strangely sexy
My friend deprived this like, you look like Parker Posey in Party Girl. Kind of reminds me of the millennial version of an 80s power suit. It's totally bizarre yet I think ultimately flattering. You are sure to turn heads!

Tres sophistique, nice lines, conservative
It was appropriate for a daytime work dress. I wore it to an Open House for the youth development organization I work with. Received tons of compliments from men and women. It's more conservative than how I usually trend in my dresses, but it was perfect for the context. The material is a bit thick, which makes the dress very forgiving.

Elegant yet playful
I wore this dress to a VIP super bowl party in Vegas. I was the only person wearing a nice dress to the party, but hey, who doesn't like a hot girl in a dress? I wore with black boots to tone it down. The beeding and embroidery make it fancy, but the black net makes it more playful and sexy. I thought the back looked sexy, but it was a bit loose on me and didn't hug quite right.

Interesting lines
I did not end up wearing this dress because it was pretty large on me. I liked the cut and thought it was really interesting, but ultimately just was not very sexy. I'd possibly re-rent it for a family affair, cocktail party through work, etc.

Incredibly sophisticated yet sexy and fun
I wore this to the casinos in Vegas and felt like a million bucks. Even though floor gowns are not the norm on the floor, the cinched butt and metallic coloring made the dress adaptable. It blends sophistication and playful perfectly. The fabric is a tad bit scratchy, but the thickness of the dress, stretchiness and cinches make it very forgiving. Wore three inch heels and the dress just touched the ground. I got multiple compliments that I looked "amazing" "stunning." Wear this dress!

Scores points as interesting and unique
Dress was way interesting and cool, but ultimately kind of unflattering. The netting layer reminded me of packing material. If I were to keep a dress like this I would probably make the inner sheath layer the shorter layer. Ran large.
