Comfortable and flattering
This was a great fall dress for a daytime party I attended. I normally avoid shirtdresses due to my curvy figure and large chest but the buttons didn't gape over the bust at all nor did the breast pockets emphasize my chest. It was incredibly comfortable to wear and the pockets a nice touch. I would rent again. My only minor complaint was getting it off. The buttons only went to the waist and while the waist has elastic it's not incredibly generous. This made getting your arms out of the dress a bit tricky but not impossible.

Comfortable but a bit twisty
Very comfortable dress and flattering for a curvy, voluptuous figure. The only issue was that it twisted a lot. Quite often I'd notice the v-neck was askew and the side seams would be twisted. It would have been five stars for this dress if I didn't feel I had to manage it.

The dress is comfortable, elegant and timeless. It was fun to wear something so ladylike.
Fit runs true to size even though it has a lot of stretch. The pockets were a real plus. My only complaint would be the inverted box pleat at the center protrudes out a bit and can make you look pregnant at certain angles. Totally not a deal breaker. Great dress

Great fit, super flattering, lining annoying
Loved the dress. Great fit, super comfortable, got tons of compliments. Only issue: the lining which rode up. With an open lace body, this was anxiety producing. While sitting at the ceremony, I noticed the lining was up all the way to my waist and my Spanx were showing. I sized down because the dress runs big and now I am wondering if I sticking with the larger size would have been helpful. All that said, I would absolutely rent this dress again.

Too slim in the hips, two-way zipper a pain
This dress is so pretty and I wanted it to work. It ran too narrow in the hips and the two way zipper was difficult to maneuver. If you zip it down far enough to get on it becomes challenging to get it zipped up but if you don't zip it down low enough it unzips anyways. Plus, the bottom zipper that can be used to create a slit can become unzipped easily when trying to get on.

Slenderizing
I have a curvy figure and was worried this dress would make me look too curvy. It worked with my curves while looking chic and sophisticated and appropriate for a speaking event. Only issue I found was getting the invisible zipper up through the intersections of multiple layers of fabric at the waistband. It wasn't the fit, it was the fabric and can be a common issue in a lot of dresses that have this feature. I found it even more difficult with this desss.
