7.5 months pregnant and it worked
I sized up to a 16 and it fit great on my big bump. People thought it was maternity. I did put a safety pin at the boobs so it wouldn't open up too much when moving around or leaning over. No stretch in the material but the buttons in front were forgiving

Lightweight, wrinkly, it was OK
Wore it for a date night in hot summer. Was lightweight and even though it was wrinkly the pattern and ruffles hid the wrinkles. I am between S and M and got S and when I clasped the neck button is was less comfortable so I undid it and tucked it away.

Flowy, pretty, easy to wear
Loved this dress. I’m between S and M and got a S and it still had room. Nice midi length for a tall girl. Higher neck was modest but so cute.

Loved! Pretty and comfortable
Beautiful lightweight dress. Subtle corset strings in the back let me tighten the chest a little. No bra needed but I did wear a strapless. Comfortable for dancing all night!

Cool back but thin and see-thru
The front wasn't a standout and the material was sheer with only 2 layers and no lining. I couldn't wear a bra because of the low back (which was beautiful) but with the thin material no bra wasn't going to work.

Nice style. When between sizes, sizing down was a little tight.
I'm between S and M and went with a S. The bodice was a little tight so wouldn't be comfortable for my event. Loved the style tho, no bra needed.

Usual Size: 6

Bust: 34DD
Material at the waist was a little odd
The way the waist had a fold and also a tie felt bulky and busy. I liked the ruffles down the leg, they fell nicely. I saw other people wearing it with a loose blouse for work and think that would've been better than trying with a tight top for vacation. There just was too much material making it feel more formal.

Pretty pattern. A bit stiff and wrinkly
Fit was true to size. The bottom ruffle which I wanted to be flowy and fun was more stuff and wrinkly unfortunately. I liked it but didn't love it for bringing to a beach vacation

There was a lot of material in the skirt and it hung heavy on the skinny straps. Cool colors and patterns. Might try again in a Small.

Nice blazer
Everything is so oversized lately so I ordered a 4 when I usually wear a 6 and I am glad I did. I think I could've even gone down to a 2. Comfortable. Professional for work.

Oversized but still could've sized down
I know oversized is the look but I still felt like I could've sized down and looked a little more normal. Cool color and good pinstripes. The sleeves were easy to roll.

So short. Nice pattern
The sweater overall was small but it was just really short too. Paired with high waisted pants but felt like the proportions were off for my outfit. It worked for a casual dinner but didn't love it. Nothing special

I've rented this same dress in multiple patterns and always love it. The flowy skirt is feminine and flattering. Booties and tights for a date night or blazer and boots for work. Highly recommend!

So elegant, perfect gala gown
Loved this dress! I'm 5'8" and the length was perfect for flats-showed my toes and there was a tiny train that didn't get in the way. Material was stretchy but smooth and expensive looking. The white part adds some fun accent. My event didn't have dancing but if you were raising your arms it might not be ideal since the white isn't fully attached and the 1 sleeve is pinned down.

Great color and fabric, bodice very structured
Felt very glamorous trying this on because of the color (think Greek goddess!). I could've possibly sized down if I wanted the bodice to be really fitted and slimming. The R length was good for flats (I'm 5'8") but if you wanted to wear heels, might need a L length.

Nice slit and flowy gown
Pretty and comfortable flowy gown. I ordered an 8 when I normally wear a 6 so it was too big to wear. The length is about 2 inches off the floor and I'm 5'8". Cool slit.

Elegant and flattering
Beautiful dress! With the low back it would've been too cold for my winter event but I will rent it again for the spring or summer. I'm 5'8" and the R length was long enough to touch the floor.

I ordered an 8L when I usually wear a 6L (I'm 5'8") and it turned out to be true to size and was a little too big to wear. But the material was smooth and structured and elegant and I'll rent it again!

The pattern change wasn't flattering for my stomach
Wore it to work hiding behind a blazer but trying to wear it on its own the tightness and shift between colors and textures didn't hit my waist right and weren't flattering.

High waist worked when wearing the matching blazer
I wore these pants as a suit with the matching blazer. I had to rent a 4 in the pants (normally a 6) but it worked because the clasp was high waisted so got me at my smallest part. The cargo pockets are subtle but a little odd for a suit. Material is thick.

Didn’t love the look of the sleeves
The cuff of the sleeves has a 6inch slit that some might think is a plus making the blazer trendy or different but for me it made the sleeves look big and floppy and less polished.

Nice blazer, pretty simple and easy
It runs large. I am wearing a 4 when I usually wear a 6 and I still had room. But for the oversized look it worked. Was lightweight and comfortable but the fabric wasn't wrinkly.

Runs big but so fun!
I sized down to a 2 (normally wear 6) based on reviews and there was still plenty of room. I could’ve gone down another size. Wore it for thanksgiving, to work, and to a work holiday party. Was perfect for hiding my eating on Thanksgiving!

Thin material held wrinkles
I am 5-8 and the pants were an awkward length and width. They were kinda wrinkly too. The suite overall was OK but the thin material made it feel less professional.

Comfy and cute
You couldn't really tell it was a dress vs a sweater and skirt but it was comfortable and easy to wear. There was a little too much Jean material in the skirt so it came off a little frumpy but I still liked it for a Friendsgiving.
