LOVED
This dress is gorgeous - so beautiful, well made, and with a fun swish. I was a little worried that it would be too S&M for work (I guess because of the collar), but it wasn't at all. It is much more 1940s than dungeon. I will say it fit, but Martin Grant's clothes definitely don't leave room for error. I have a large ribcage so it was a bit tight, and if I had a larger bust it probably wouldn't have really worked at all. A++

Gorgeous and easy!
I loved this dress - the basic silhouette is incredibly work-appropriate but the details bring it up one (or two) notches! I wore it with a blazer for part of the day and without once I was back in my office. Really a great Spring dress!

Very pretty - modern + put-together
This dress is very nice. I like that the pattern is modern and a bit unique, with a more traditional design of the dress itself. I selected that it "runs small" as the slip underneath was a bit snug. Size up if you are in-between, is all I'm saying! I can definitely imagine wearing this to a baby shower, brunch, or day-time work event.

The best!
This is my favorite thing in the world, although I will say there was a bit of a mixed reaction among co-workers (it is possible this is a "man repellent," but who cares, honestly...). The color is so bright and rich but there are enough high-quality details that it doesn't look cheap or young. I would recommend getting your true size rather than sizing up for a loose fit - this is one where you should just trust the design process to get the look you are going for. I would keep this one forever if summer wasn't here!

Beautiful print, but sheer
The print was beautiful and the dress was obviously high-quality, but I was surprised that it was a little sheer. You could definitely wear it with the right undergarments, however I was looking for something a bit "easier" to wear so I decided to return it. Would look GREAT with a slip, I think!

So soft - love it!
I love this sweater - it is so soft! It is also the perfect combination of comfortable and stylish. There is enough structure that you get a nice shape, which is necessary with this kind of oversize style. It runs true-to-size or large. I rented a Large, but probably could have gone with a Medium. Totally tempted to keep this one!

VINCE.

Thin and tricky
I wanted to love-love this, but it was a bit of a disappointment. As you can tell by the pictures, it's a little tricky to style for someone of my thickness. Notably, it's not very soft - it's more of a t-shirt type thickness than a sweatshirt. One bonus is that my toddler son liked to play with it, so that was nice. Ultimately I wore it for maybe an hour around the apartment and then sent it back.

Gorgeous AND Comfy
Loved this dress - so comfortable but with enough style and structure that you don't feel like you are wearing your pajamas. The only thing that's a little less-than-perfect is that it is a bit (small bit) sheer. With all of the draping I was comfortable wearing it without too much worry to a daytime party, but if you are considering it for something more formal it's a consideration.

This dress makes me so happy!
This dress is so fun to wear - it's soft, luxurious, and swirly. I work in the arts, so I wore it to the office with a blazer but I think it would work for a few different things. The fit is very flexible, which is a bonus when you are renting something sight-unseen. Love it!
