Endless compliments!!! Size up if pear shaped
This dress is a viscose fabric, with that really lovely, heavy silky feel. It is fairly straight through the hips and so for that reason size up if pear shaped or the closures will pull. Loved it!!! Endless compliments all day

Very tight sleeves
I love this dress, the top is quilted, and that is continued around the hem of the dress, which is very cute. However, the sleeve bands do not have any elasticity and are extremely tight and I have very small upper arms, I rarely have this problem. I would not wear this dress again because they were so constricting.

Amazing fit!
These are basically really well tailored shorts with a wrap on the front to make it look like a skort. The shorts are the perfect length in the back, I cannot believe how well this fit my pear shape, no gaping at the waist. 5’4’ 150 lbs wearing size 40. I would buy this!

Always lots of compliments
I’ve rented this dress in multiple sizes over the years and it is always seasonally appropriate for work, it is fairly straight through the hips so if you wear pear shaped size up

Go up 2 sizes minimum
I love this blazer. It is so well-made and the lines are so flattering. It is a very fitted look so I'm normally a dress size 4 but the size 6 blazer still looked very fitted on me. I wish I had gone up to a size 8 in the blazer for a more loose, relaxed look..

Fabric was easily distressed
I added a belt for a more fitted look, and the fabric was so distressed by the end of the day. It's unbearable now.

Size up 2 sizes
I have a short torso and and am pear-shaped, I am normally a size 4 to 6 but really needed a size 8 to even be able to zip this up over the hips and even at that point this size 6 was pulling on my neck.

Hate the shift lining
The dress is super cute, but there's a separated shift lining that's attached just at the shoulders and the shift is really small and really short and constantly rides up so if you are pear-shaped or have hips, this dress may not fit as well as you think

Tight around hips
The seam right around the hips will be tight if you are pear-shaped then need to size up

The liner is ridiculous
I love this dress, I got so many compliments, BUT I was adjusting the liner the entire night. The liner is not secured to the dress itself. It’s like a flimsy shift hanging inside the dress and it fits like a Bodycon shapewear or shift inside of the dress. it kept riding up the whole night and did not line the entire dress so some of the chest was see-through And I was constantly having to check that my bra was not showing. Rent with extreme caution.

The cotton fabric looks more like a beach cover-up then a dress that you would want to wear to work or to any special event

Thin linen
This dress is definitely not as lux appearing as on the model, it is a very thin cotton linen with almost no shape, even with the waist tie, and it is see-through to the underwear with no lining. Very casual, would not wear for work, maybe better for a beach day

Very tight and form fitting
Even with sizing up, this was very formfitting for my pear shape and hugged my hips, a little too aggressively for work. I wore with the blazer, I think pear shaped girls should definitely size up one or two or find something else.

Hip pockets make you look wide
This dress is a really lovely chocolate brown color. The length is great for work but the pocket placement on the hips is not flattering especially if you are pear shaped, in that setting I would size up so that the pockets lie flat otherwise I would not rent this dress

Love it!
It is short, and the lining was not tacked down so there was an almost constant need for adjustment, however those small problems aside, it fit true to size and looked amazing

Bump friendly but drop waist in the back
Definitely but friendly dress however the waist line drops from Regular waste in the front to drop waste in the back which really makes your hips look super wide and as a pear-shaped girl I was not a fan of that

Terrible lining
The lining was really short and extremely tight so it kept riding up and the bottom of the dress is completely see-through so I just felt so exposed while walking And had to keep reaching in and pulling the lining down if you have a bigger hips then either size up even more or just don't get this dress because it makes no sense

Fabulous show stopper
26 weeks pregnant here, normal a size 2/4 dress and 132 lbs pre pregnancy. wearing the size 4 here at 26 weeks and 150 lbs and would have been a bit more comfortable in the size 6 but it wasn't available. Just a little bit tight at the waist but you can pull it up over the bump.
