Great, simple dress
This fitted me perfectly and was super comfortable. It has pockets, too! The length and zipper down the front make it a little less professional but the quality and color are on point. Would rent again.

Short, small chest
I am 5’4” and short waisted but this was still tight on top and short on me. I wore it with tights and boots for a night out but it wasn’t anything special. The chest seams kept riding up and it wasn’t super flattering. Comfortable, lightweight, nice pattern.

Too big, didn’t wear
I was so excited for this dress — the cut and the colors are perfect. But, the 2R was loose in the waist and way to long on me. I’m 5’4, 120lbs, petite hourglass, and will rent a 0 or 2P next time.

Versatile, comfortable, short sleeves
I followed others’ advice and sized down on this one. It’s definitely roomy/boxy so it depends whether you want an oversized look. I wasn’t sure about this one at first but it is so easy to throw on over a sweater or with jeans and instantly look put together. I’ve worn it at least 5 times this month! By sizing down, the sleeves were a little short on me. I’m 5’4”, 120 lbs, and the 0 worked well overall.

Comfortable, flattering, busy pattern
This dress was stylish and super comfortable for a late summer/early fall date night. You can wear the sleeves on or off the shoulders, and I was able to get away with not wearing a bra. The pattern is a little busy so it depends how much you like that. The color is more of a washed out medium blue, not navy like in the photos. I’m 5’4”, 120lbs, and the XS fit perfectly.

Chic, understated, high quality
This dress is amazing. It’s very dark navy, almost black, and made of a thick knitted material. The buttons are a nice detail and there’s a fitted layer under the skirt so you don’t need Spanx. I’m 5’4”, 120 lbs, petite hourglass and the size 40 / US 4 fit perfectly. If it was a little less expensive I’d definitely buy!

Great pattern, too long
I love the color, pattern, and cut of this dress EXCEPT for all of the fabric at the bottom. Maybe it’s better if you’re tall or wear heels but I was tripping all over the sides, and I’m not sure it adds much to the overall look. Also the snap at the neckline broke the first day of my rental. Looks great with a denim jacket!

Love this, will rent again
Great color for dark-haired ladies, lovely lace details. The 0R fit just right (5’4”, 120 lbs, 30E, short-waisted). It definitely came down to the ankle on me. Will rent again!

Great dress, tight shoulders
Love the cut, pattern, and button details on the front. I’m 5’4”, 120 lbs, 30DD and the 0R fit everywhere except in the shoulders and around the sleeves. I still love the dress and will wear it multiple times, but I’ll rent it in a 2 next time.

Comfortable, elegant, pockets!
I wore this to a late summer fundraiser gala and it was so comfortable! The box pleats are beautiful, the waist hit just right for me, and the material is easy and elegant. The neck is very open so I’d recommend a statement necklace or several chains. The high-low hem is a fun touch. I’m 5’4”, 120 lbs, and short waisted, and the 0R was just right.

Amazing colors, very fitted in the hips
I didn’t get to wear this because the 0 was too small for me (5’4”, 120lbs, 30E). I loved the colors and can’t wait to rent it for an event in the right size! Amazing colors for dark-haired ladies. It runs long, too.

Too tight, very high slit
Didn’t wear. I am 5’4”, 120lbs, and the XS was way too small. The slit is also very high and seems likely to cause a malfunction depending on how you walk or sit. The material is stretchy and not super high end while the cut and pattern are elegant. I could see it being comfortable in the right size!

Amazing colors, very low cut
I love the colors on this dress and got so many compliments at the wedding I wore it to. The front, however, is VERY low cut. I don’t love such a low V so I pinned it a little. This dress is also long so I needed 4” heels. I’m 5’4”, 120lbs, 30E and the 2 fit just right.

Great color and cut, tight straps
As others have said, the straps on this dress are a little weird. I am 5’4”, 120 lbs, short-waisted, and the top half of this dress was TIGHT. The neckline came all the way up to my neck, and the straps were constantly riding up my back. Love the color, material, skirt, open back, but will try this in a 4 next time. I wore this several times for a day out, a party, and the Barbie movie and got tons of compliments! Will rent again in another size.

Great pattern, wrap dresses are challenging
Like all the other reviewers have said, it’s tricky getting the top of this dress to work. I wore it with a cami and a short slip because the skirt has a tendency to fall open. The colors, pattern, and material are SO good, though, that I am seriously considering buying it (and having a hook put in to keep the top closed). TTS, XS was perfect for me (5’4”, 119 lbs).

Classy, fitted, lovely
I bought this dress to officiate a wedding where the bride wants color but no so much color that it takes over the photos! The dress is fitted through the bodice and hips, and is flattering on an hourglass shape. The V’s in front and back are a nice touch. My date said he loved it too :)

Size down, big skirt, pockets!
I love the color, material, buttons, and pockets on this dress but it was definitely a size too large. I wore it anyway on a hot day in Central Park but I’m not sure how flattering it was. Going to rent again in the right size! I’m 5’4”, 119 lbs, 30DD, hourglass, short waisted, and definitely needed a 0 instead of a 2.

Darker blue than it looks
I bought this to be in the wedding party for an August wedding. I was looking for a medium/dusty blue but this is more of an ocean blue (not navy but darker than the photos). The material is light and flowy, and the empire waist is very forgiving. The neckline is low but not embarrassingly so. The dress is LONG. I have 2-3" heels on in the photo and it still covers my shoes (I'm 5'4", 119 lbs, 30DD). Maybe the bride will make an exception and let me go with the darker color!

Heavy material, best for winter
Beautiful, subtle color and the velvet is luxurious. But this dress is HEAVY. I would only wear it in the fall or winter. As others have said, you really need the top to be fitted to stay up. The 2 was way too loose in the chest so I didn't wear it (I'm 5'4", 119 lbs, 30DD, hourglass and would probably need a 0 to get the top to fit). Love the slit!

Not for hourglass
I was so excited about this dress but it just didn't work on me. I'm a petite hourglass and the loose folds of fabric at the waist did nothing for me and the whole dress just concealed my shape. Beautiful color and material though!

Beautiful dress, a little tight
I loved the cut and details of this dress but ended up wearing a different one for my corporate event. The color is beautiful, more of a periwinkle than baby blue, and the shoulder seams add some elegance. This dress comes in multiple colors so I'm going to try the yellow next! The UK 6/US 2 was a little tight on me but not uncomfortable (I'm 5'4", 119 lbs, hourglass, short-waisted). Gorgeous cut, material, fabric, rent it!

Big in the waist/chest
Beautiful color, material, and cut. I didn't end up wearing it, though, because the size 2 was a little big on me (5'4", 119 lbs, hourglass). My bf said it looked great but the waist seam was hitting lower than my actual waist which made the armholes gape a little. I would need this in a petite to get the waist in the right place because a 0 would probably be tight in the hips. Not for pear shapes or short-waisted folks. If you're the right shape or get the right size, it will be great!

Too big, didn't wear
I wish this had worked because I liked the color and the button detail. A size small was WAY too big for me (5'4", 119 lbs, hourglass, short-waisted) and I wish I'd gone with an XS. The material feels a little casual/lightweight so this probably wouldn't work in a more professional setting. I may rent again in the future (in the right size!).
