Sooo comfy!
Absolutely loved these! I think they would be a slightly better fit for a size 14, not sure if a 32 is the right size for a 16.

LOVE!!!
Absolutely LOVED his shirt. It fit absolutely perfectly. Did have to wear a black bra, but it blended beautifully and looked like pet of the shirt. Back zipper was very easy to manage on my own and made shirt really well. Such a cute top!

Fun idea and lovely fabric
The torso was barely long enough, so not sure this outfit would work for someone taller. Overall very nice fit and length was perfect with heels. Loved the pockets, but not sure about the SUPER long sleeves. Tried rolling them up, but that looked weird. Neckline was just shy of being too low for work. Cute outfit, fun and different, but sleeves made it too unmanageable for work.

Very strange fit
The fabric was really lovely, but the dress was huge. I am a true 16 at this point, but I felt like this dress was two sizes too big. Not sure if the strange shape would have worked well if the dress had fit properly, but the wrap across the hips pulled even though the overall fit was huge.

Bright and beautiful green
Loved the vibrant color, and it layered nicely. Unfortunately, it was a little too warm for California "winter." Not sure if the scratchiness around my neck would have been less of an issue if I hadn't been a little overly warm.

Gorgeous green!
Fabric was divine, but I'm not sure if the dress was just too big or if it was designed for someone taller/with a longer torso. I'm in between a 14 and 16, so I think I may have been better off with the 14. Note that I was not wearing any shape wear in the photo. I had a little too much room in the hips and chest, but it fit well around my thighs and waist. I am not very curvy, and have very thick thighs, so I just don't think it was cut for my shape.

Simple sophistication
Overall, this dress was beautiful and looked fabulous. It was the perfect cat for my shape, and the color and exterior of fabric were wonderful. The main reason I didn't give it five stars was the lining. It didn't go all the way to the bottom of the dress and cat bunching up and looking lumpy. If it were not for that, I would've absolutely loved this dress and possibly even have purchased it.

Pretty and comfortable
Very pretty and flattering dress, overall. The fabric was very nice quality, comfortable and breathable with a nice stretch to it. The only two drawbacks were the neckline/collar and the length. The neckline kept bowing out and gaping, I had to constantly resettle the shoulders to flatten out the collar. If I had narrow shoulders or was a petite girl, perhaps this would make sense, but my shoulders have often been compared to a linebacker, so I think the proportions in the Women's sizes may be off. This may also be why the length seems to be nicely at or just above the knee on all the models and renters of the regular sizes, but hits at that unflattering part of the wide top of the calf on me and the other W size renter's reviews I saw. I'm not terribly tall, but not short either. Overall, very nice dress and would recommend giving it a try if you have an unlimited membership, but not if you have narrow shoulders.

Flattering and comfortable!
I tried the XL on in the store, and was surprised by how loose it was. The large was an absolutely perfect fit. It is a little low cut, but not indecently so. I expected it to stretch and even became saggy by the end of the day because of the sweater like material, but the fit was exactly the same after 12 hours at a conference. Tons of compliments, and the weight of the material was absolutely perfect for temperature swings. A light sweater for chilly conference rooms was just enough to keep me warm and the dressed breathed beautifully in the stuffy rooms. Such a comfortable fabric, and a very flattering fit. Absolutely loved this!

GORGEOUS!!!!!
I cannot rave enough about this dress. I almost didn't rent it, I thought the draped collar was a little too stylized for me, but my daughter's talked me into it and I am so glad! It was an extremely flattering fit, I think I got more compliments in this than I have ever received. And, it wore like a dream. Dancing, sitting, eating, climbing stairs - comfortable for all. It was so soft and supple, obviously a very good quality lining. And, the fabric on the outside was also very high quality. I was worried about pulling and snagging, with kids and glittery accessories, but it didn't pull or snag at all. Can't recommend this one enough.

Soooo soft!!!!
This leather was like BUTTER! It was the softest I have ever felt. A sweet little purse, with a good length on the strap and decent room inside. Loved the soft pink color as well.

Too baggy
Such pretty fabric, and likely a very flattering fit for someone thinner and with a larger chest.

Pretty and practical
Loved that the exterior was so durable, I didn't have to be on guard against red wine all night! It was just big enough for the bare essentials, so don't plan to put sunglasses and a phone (pick one). The chains felt elegant and smooth, very well made.

So sparkly!
I didn't realize the green on the dress was sequins, I thought it was velvet. Unfortunately, the sequins are very scratchy under the arms. The dress loads stunning on and fit perfectly, except for the length. I'm just over 5'4" and the only size available was the 16L, and the dress skins the floor with my 6" platform stilettos. Hoping to find a better fit in time for the wedding, but this is my back up and it is a beautiful dress

Gorgeous color
Beautiful color and fabric. Dress is very true to size. However, it is absolutely a terrible shape for my body type. It emphasized my lack of curves and made my shoulders seem like a linebacker. Definitely a better fit for an hourglass body type, or perhaps an athletic build that is much more fit than me.

Shapeless
I was not a fan. The dress looked like a funny sack on me. I admit I'm a bit of a ruler shape in general, but this dress made me look like I had zero curves and hung on me. Definitely not the right dress for me.

Beautiful color
I recently lost weight, so my sizing may be off, but I definitely swam in the 18R. The fabric is lovely and a beautiful color and I like the cut overall. I'm hoping I can try a 16 or even 14 and have better luck with fit. I typically wear a 16, am pretty much a ruler shape, and the top of this dress was bagging like I was wearing something two to three sizes too big.
