Heavy and hot.
I rented this for a conference, but it was just too hot! Very very cute, but maybe for a winter date with black stockings.

Heavy and unflattering.
I tried this on, but did not wear. The ties have heavy metal ends and the whole thing made me look like a big patterned hot air balloon.

The idea is cute, but the blouse is too short.
I wore this with my most high waisted slacks and it still kept slipping out. I was ticking the tails back in all day.

A little difficult to get on, but lots on compliments.
Wore to a business casual beach party wand it was fun and beachy but still professional with not too much skin showing.

Loved this lightweight linen dress. Would buy, but it's still a little high for me.
Wore to dinner at a nice restaurant on the beach with wedges. Perfect for summer beach vacation. Also wore in the car over 8 hours and it was not itchy or uncomfortable.

Not practical for work
The ties at the wrists were hard to tie and got in the way of typing

Confused
Not sure how to tie this wrap dress without exposing myself in the front or the back. Super ill fitting and not flattering at all

I'm a short girl but this is too short for work or church!
Really really loved the top. Very comfortable and pretty and gave me a great hourglass shape. The only probably was how short and loose it was on the bottom. I wore with thick knit stockings. I think a tall girl could wear with jeans as a top and it would be stellar. If you are any taller than 5'2" don't try to pull this off as a dress with bare legs. I wish this was a top not a dress!

It looked like lingerie - not classy. The strap for the back was stretched out and hung awkwardly.

Like a furry garbage sack
Shapeless and not flattering but super warm and comfortable so I'm torn.

Short ladies rejoice
This dress is a dream. I loved the way the top fit. It was a high low, so I wasn't a danger to myself and others tripping of the hem. If you are short and have a hard time finding floor length gowns, rent this!

Slimming fit with comfortable stretch
I loved the comfortable fabric - the dress was a beautiful hourglass shape without that uncomfortable squeeze I normally feel from pencil skirts. A one piece professional look.

Cute sleeves but looked like scrubs
I ordered a 6 but should have ordered a 4 or maybe even a 2. It was really big in the shoulders and waist - I had to pull the right button over to the left button hole and then use a pin to keep it closed. Otherwise a really great blazer, but looked a little too much like scrubs.

Couldn't zip it - wore it anyway!
Not only was the dress beyond tight around the waist and ribs, but the zipper was impossible!!! I got the zipper up to the waistband and clasp the top with a safety pin. Because I was leaving the back open I wore an interesting strapy bra - I got so many compliments and nobody could tell it wasn't designed this way. 26 inch waist - wore a 40 - shoulda got a 42

ITCHY !!!!!!
Itchy and sparkly - did not look like the photos - felt like I was wearing a mother of the bride dress. So itchy it was distracting.

I wish I rented a smaller size
I have a 26 inch waist and 42 inch hips. It can be difficult to find pants sometimes, but a four usually fits. This was a BIG 4 - I had to tuck my bulky sweater into my pants because the waist was so loose. I loved the pants-very cute. Would wear again in a smaller size.

Had a hole, but still LOVED
This runs small . . . I'm 26 inches in the waist and I ordered a 6. I put it on in the morning and my partner said "wow that's my favorite dress you should buy it." 4 hours later my co-worker was stapling the dress - YES using a stapler to temporarily close a hole I discovered in the armpit before walking into a meeting. Crisis was averted and costumer service was very awesome in compensating me for the unfortunate circumstances. I still LOVED it and will likely rent again.

Had to use safety pin!
Very sweet and feminine, but still professional - I think I should have ordered a S instead of a M, but I'm not sure that would have helped the "loose" top. I'm wearing an undershirt and safety pin to avoid a potentially embarrassing work place wardrobe malfunction.

I love this dress
I would buy this dress but it was a just a little too low V cut for my sort of conservative workplace.

Big coat
I got a 38 - I am apparently not a 38 - I looked like I'd stolen my boyfriends coat. I still got lots of compliments. The coat is lightweight but still warm. Worn in 34 degree weather with no issues.

Very pretty dress worn with tights and booties.
I ordered an 8 because I was afraid it wouldn't fit me - it was way too big - I should have ordered a 6 or a 4. Even big it was still wearable and adorable.
