Meh
Nice concept but the material wrinkles really easily… as in it wrinkles just from walking and sitting down. Why do designers pick material that ends up looking so unkempt?? That drives me nuts. “Here buy this dress it looks great as long as you never actually wear it”. Also why didn’t they bother lining it? The cut is forgiving but there are so many billowy and ruffley parts that I feel like I definitely look heavier in it. It’s just kind of a lot of material. Wrinkly material. Overall it’s fine. I still wore it. Would never rent again though.

A Favorite
This was one of my all time favorite rentals. I wore for a Mother’s Day dinner with some friends. Fabric is lightweight despite the long sleeves so it’s totally appropriate for May evenings. It’s actually pretty wrinkle proof & durable too. I normally don’t even bother with viscose because it’s so high maintenance but this surprised me. The fit was surprisingly great for someone with a longer torso & longer arms.

Surprising
This was basically an accidental last minute order. I picked it because I needed something in a rush. Now I'm considering buying it. The fit is oversized & slightly cropped. It definitely requires high waisted pants. The back vent is tall enough to be conservative sexy without showing my bra. I wouldn't wear it to work or church, but I would wear it pretty much anywhere else. Also, most importantly, it's not itchy. I've never heard of this brand but they have a lot of similarly styles sweaters & I am a fan.

Not For Me
The dress is beautiful & the quality of the fabric is exceptional. I really can't stay anything bad about it. It just wasn't my style. Was a bit more shabby chic than I am used to wearing. I did, however, get a lot of compliments. I'd wear it again purely for the luxury feel of the silk.

Amazing
They are beautiful & I am in love. My only complaint is that they are kind of heavy and if your ears are pierced a bit low, they will tug downward & look a little wonky.

Updated Review- Not Worth It
The sweater is just as beautiful as it looks in photos. However, after being stuck wearing it for a whole work day I can say that this was a terrible decision. I am so itchy & uncomfortable that I can barely stand it. I legit might leave early to change. Rent this for a short event or a photo opp but avoid for long days!

Not cute. I didn't like the fit- it wasn't flattering on me. Fabric felt kind of cheap. All in all a big letdown

Frumpy chic
I swear I've seen photos of my mom wearing this exact same jacket in the early 90s. I favorited it for laughs and ended up renting it last minute because I needed a light windbreaker for vacation. I was really surprised. It's super cute and unique. I don't know how worth it it would be for me to but considering how extreme the temps get where I live, but I'll def keep this in my closet until it's wool coat weather for sure.

Solid Rental
Beautiful fabric & construction, great movement & color. All around nice piece. I didn't love it enough to buy it but I did receive a lot of compliments. Worked well in the summer heat. I recommend sizing down. The pleats easily accommodated my wider hip/butt area. I sized down and still had a little extra waist room.

This is what I subscribe for!
This dress is amazing. High quality fabric, classy design, & good fit. I have a curvier figure & I still sized down. I think my normal size 6 would have been too big. It's a little low cut for a conservative work environment but I plan to wear this on my more casual days. If I can find it somewhere for a little bit less, I'll buy it : )

Perfect Rental Piece- Not Worth Buying
Great earrings. I love the color, size & design. They have a nice weight to them without being uncomfortable. I 100% agree with the first review though- these are not worth their retail price. They aren't made of anything special and they aren't really expertly crafted either. Price is based on style only. Perfect to rent but I would never buy.

What a difference the right size makes
I rented this previously in a size M (I'm typically a 4-6). Sent it back because it was a little baggy and unremarkable. Just rented it again in a size S and I absolutely love it. Everything from the color to the cut is awesome. Very slimming and unique without being obnoxious. I do wish the fabric was better quality but I've had other pieces in this same material and they are holding up just fine. This is why I subscribe!

Bought It
Very cute. It's a tiny bit low cut but not in an overtly sexy way. I have a hard time fitting my boobs into some of these styles but I actually found this particular piece to run really large. I rented both a 4 and a 6. The 4 was just right and I was swimming in the 6. If it matters to you, the shirt is meant to be black but it appears a little bit more navy than some of my black pants. I still wear them together and I don't think most people would notice, but I do.

Cute but Short
Very well made & pretty dress- it lives up to the Saloni name for sure. Size up for sure as there is no stretch in the material. The dress is too short for me personally, especially being 29. Maybe I would have loved it 9 or 10 years ago. I wore it for a bachelorette which was fine but that's probably the only event I could have worn it to.

Fine I Guess
It's a cute shirt. I would have chosen a different fabric. Someone mentioned in a review that it doesn't wrinkle easily but I actually disagree. The little frills down the front and the back of the shirt are kind of permanently creased because the fabric is so crisp. Fit isn't bad although if I owned this I'd have it taken in a few centimeters near my waist. All in all it's a cute concept with poor execution. Would have been much nicer in silk.

Unexpectedly Great
I ended up selecting this because all of the dresses I would have preferred were taken. Funny how the items I don't expect to like often end up being my favorites. The colors are actually very pretty & the fit is very nice. I would have preferred adjustable straps because the front is a bit more boobey than I thought, but I'd still wear again. I sized down and was fine. Wore to a friend's rehearsal dinner.

Nope
Material was kind of stiff & odd. Didn't look nice when I cinched the drawstring closed. Also these absolutely do not work if you have a long torso. The too-short rise makes the whole backside of the pants go straight up your butt.

Fit was actually perfect and the dress itself is flattering. It just has a little bit too much of a milkmaid vibe about it for my taste. I ended up not wearing.

Loved it
Very flattering fit. Sexy while still being pretty conservative. I wore this a bunch of times, including once to church. Love the length and the print. Material is a tiny bit itchy but it's not so bad once you get used to it. It doesn't really show in the photos but there are tiny little silvery metallic threads woven into the pattern. It's not bad, it looks nice- but it's worth pointing out if you aren't expecting it.

Worth Ordering
Overall cuter than I expected. I personally wouldn't wear it without heels & probably earrings because the whole outfit does have a little bit of a Super Mario Brother's vibe. It needs to be dressed up a little bit. Fit is pretty good, even with my long torso. If I owned this piece I'd probably have the waist taken in a little bit. I think that would help with the tiny bit of boxiness I noticed.

Too Much
I kind of underestimated my age when I rented this. It would have been cute in college but at 29 I feel a little immature- even for a bachelorette. The dress is also a little gothic for me. The fit was nice though. It did wonderful things for my boobs!

Good Enough
The epitome of "good, but not great". Cute print. Falls & fits correctly. Got it because there wasn't much else available in my size. I do really appreciate the length, but otherwise it was just OK. It's a good safe option if you have nothing else.

It hurts to give this back!
Beautiful print & nice cut. It's rare that I find a wrap dress that actually stays closed. Love the sleeves & the length. The v in the front is also perfect- not too low cut. Runs small but I think it's meant to in order to fall correctly.

Good but not Great
I appreciated the fit, color & length of this dress. The cut was interesting & flattering. It was good for dinner with my in laws. In terms of the quality, this is probably a personal opinion but I thought the material felt slightly cheap for such an expensive dress. It looked good but it had a kind of rubbery (?) quality & it picks up wrinkles easily. It definitely requires ironing or dry cleaning after every use & I don't have the patience for that. Basically it's a great dress to rent but I'm glad I don't own it.

Cuter than you think.
This was an unexpected favorite. Super flattering & conservative without being frumpy at all. Runs TTS although the waist was a bit loose (didn't affect appearance. Wore for St. Patrick's Day. *There was a decent sized faded stain on the skirt portion. Looked like somebody spilled red wine & tried to remove. Fortunately the dress is dark in color & the skirt is pleated so I wore it anyway.

I Love It
I’m surprised this dress got some negative reviews. I think it’s so unique & would work for a lot of different body types. It’s clearly not a work dress but for any other Winter or Fall occasion (except maybe church) I think it’s perfect. I would normally never wear a drop waist but this is an exception. It does run big as others have said. I’m usually a size 6 but I’m glad I ordered a size 4. * If you rent this keep in mind there’s a zipper on the side near the hip. It’s kind of hard to see and without opening it, the dress may tear if you try to force it on.

Nope
This dress is a perfect example of why I never wear wrap dresses. Pretty print, nice silhouette, good fit... and then a very revealing skirt front. It almost feels like I’m wearing a really long top or a beach cover up. I would have to hold this dress closed in the wind or pretty much anytime I wasn’t standing still. If I was going to wear this to work, I would buy a long black slip to wear underneath it to prevent a wardrobe malfunction

Very Nice
Very nice, full stop. Nothing earth-shattering, but very very nice. My favorite part of this dress is the length. Runs a teeny bit small especially if you are fuller in the bust or the hips (or both). The dress is a little bit restrictive around my arms, but then again I probably need to size up. Keep in mind the material doesn’t stretch at all & the silhouette is more revealing than you’d expect because of how it is meant to hug the body. If you are worried about the hole in the back, don’t be. I wore a regular bra & it did not show at all.

Brought this to a work meeting to wear over my dresses/slacks. Super comfortable & soft. Smelled nice when I opened the package. If I didn’t have white cats that shed at home, I would have bought it.

The Most Beautiful Conservative Work Dress
Returning this dress was very sad for me! I would probably call it my favorite work dress ever. The cut is flattering and not restrictive, the pattern is unique, there are no giant thigh-high slits on either side of the skirt, the length is totally appropriate while also not being frumpy, & the ruffles are eye catching without drawing too much attention. Speaking of the ruffles, they look way more dramatic in photos than they do in person. I was pleasantly surprised at how understated this piece actually is when I tried it on. Runs pretty small. Order the higher end of your typical size for sure. Better for it to be slightly loose than uncomfortably tight as it will not stretch at all.

Unexpectedly Awesome
I rented this as a backup item for a work meeting in Miami thinking it would be a lame but safe evening option. Now I don't want to give it back! The material is nice & thick so it looks expensive. It's form fitting without being tacky & the flare in the back covers most of my butt. The flare is pretty dramatic but the effect is really pretty. Photo doesn't really do it justice.

Beautiful but not for work
This dress really is gorgeous. However, it's definitely too short for my comfort. Even in opaque tights I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing this for work. I can't bend down! I'm sure it'd be fine for date night but that's about it.

A Shame.
I'm upset. At first I was excited to try the dress on because the material is actually really pretty in person & it drapes very well. Then I turned to my side and noticed the gigantic slits reaching all the way up each of my thighs. Why why why why why! It doesn't even make sense! The dress buttons together in the center so it's painfully obvious that the slits serve no functional purpose- they exist purely to expose skin. I don't know why somebody would do this to such lovely work dress. It really had so much potential.
