Just OK
It was way too big. To be fair I probably ordered too big a size. But it seems boxy even for the size it was.

Good not great
Skirt flares a bit high up for my taste. Everyone looks pregnant. But it’s still pretty.

Nice!
Practical dress that works for many levels of formal. Fit well on me (5’8”, pear-ish shape). Comfortable.

Liked it
I liked this. Wore it twice. I definitely looked big in it but in a flattering shapely way. It was also very comfortable and practical — with pockets! Would rent again.

Striped Smock Waist Dress
Thakoon x RTR
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Nice but also just OK
Fabric is surprisingly heavy and soft and high-quality feeling. I kind of liked the dress but, as I was getting ready to head out in it, my young child asked why I was wearing a bathrobe to a party. When I heard that I saw it immediately and decided not to wear it. It’s just a little to heavy and square. Maybe if I had a bigger bust or more curves somewhere else the waist tie (I have a small waist I think) would give the dress more shape on me.

Midi Length Shirtdress
Fifteen Twenty

Nice
Nice dress! I did not love it as much as most other reviewers. Was hard to figure out what to do with the bust. It looked a little droopy and low and sloppy on me (b-c cup) and the waist was just a little too high. Fabric is really pretty and (with lining) a nice weight though. I’d wear it again in a pinch.

Easy and comfortable
Very loose on the top (I am smaller on top) but very comfortable! Nice weight and swish to the skirt. I work to lunch at a beach club over a swimsuit. I’d caution that it might be hard to style this dress as really formal. Pockets are awesome!

Draped Neck Halter Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"

Was great for me!
Great dress especially for women who want to show off a narrow waist. Might be difficult for ladies with larger busts. Up to generous C would probably be fine. A little librarian-like but also fun. I was kind of surprised that it did but it worked! Also it was very very comfortable!

Feels nice and heavy but not hot. Drapes nicely!

Cozy
It's nice and soft and cozy. Fit is as expected, not too big not too small. Decent length (I'm 5'8" and don't like things short). Just didn't love it.
Zig Zag Cable Sweater

Great color
Generally great sweater. Body is a little bit boxy, even for a large. Still loved it.
Meldal Roll Knit Sweater
Elk
Size Worn: M-L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Nice weight and drape
This is a really nice top that drapes well. Fabric is heavy and does not wrinkle the moment you sit down, which is a pro. It is a bit short in the front (I'm 5'8" with broad shoulders) so plan on pants with waistband at your natural waist, or an under-layer. I would rent again.

Beautiful fun different dress
I felt so good in this. Loose bottom half is forgiving for pear shaped folks. Fabric is a silk cotton blend that is gorgeous! Only warning is that it light night work for those with larger busts. I'm a 36B-C and the 12 was snug on top.
Desert Palm Tie Front Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Easy and flattering
Versatile dress that pairs well with all kinds of colors (nude, gold, orange or anything bright). Ruffle made a nice curve of some Recent weight gain around my midsection. For my athletic thighs nicely. Neckline needed a safety pin (for me) but that was an easy adjustment. Fabric is thick and has a little give but not so much that the dress clings. 4 stars only because it's a little boring and that fabric does not feel luxurious.
