LOVED this dress!
I loved this dress so much and would have purchased it but there was a stain on the bust. The dress was very flattering, comfortable, and great for the holiday season. I would say it runs large as I am 22 weeks pregnant and still fit into my usual size, whereas in other dresses I need to size up.

Cute and comfortable, but a bit too short.
Overall I really liked this dress. It fit well and was comfortable. I sized up one as I am 22 weeks pregnant. The only thing I would say is it was a bit short for my taste/ comfort at work. I would not have worn it without tights.

Comfortable and cute
I loved this sweater dress. The material was soft, not scratchy, and it was a very comfortable, easy to wear dress. I sized up one to accommodate my 23 week baby bump.

Much cuter on the hanger - Did not wear
This top just didn't work for me. It was tight in the bust, and because of the stiff material and decorative trim, it didn't lay right. I did not end up wearing it. Maybe sizing up one would have helped.

Very cute!
Fun, cute skirt. True to size. Styled for fall with sweater. Even though I am tall I felt like I needed to wear heels due to the length and volume of it.

Unique, pretty dress - suggest reading reviews for sizing
Based on other reviews I sized down to a 0 (normally 6) and it fit well, although the style is still loose. I belted it and wore a navy tank under due to the cutouts. I took a risk ordering and ended up liking it more than I expected. The pattern is pretty and the dress is unique. I received a lot of compliments.

Classic and comfortable
Cute dress that fit well and was very comfortable. Flattering shape. Light, soft material. I sized up one for the bust area and it was just right. Wore with tights and booties for the fall weather.

Fun and different
I wasn't sure about the pattern at first, it is a bit busy for my usual style. But I ended up really liking it and feeling cute all day wearing it. I added a brown belt to give the dress more shape.

It grew on me
I wasn't sure about this dress when I first tried it on, but it grew on me. I ended up wearing it with my own wide black belt. I felt the dress looked better with the pattern broken up. It was tight in the neck but fit fine everywhere else. Wish I had taken a photo.

Beautiful blouse for work
Nice fabric, high end and stylish pattern. I have broad shoulders so I sized up one and it fit comfortably. I would rent again.

Great blouse for work.
Soft, comfortable silk shirt was great for work. High quality with a light weight feel. True to size, and the long, roomy style looked great with skinny, dark jeans. Easy to dress up or down.

Love this sweater!
Beautiful, high quality, comfortable sweater, with a unique look to it. The wool is soft, not scratchy. True to size, although I ordered one size up since that's all that was available, and I don't mind my sweaters a bit over-sized. It looked good one size up, and I'm sure it would have looked good in my usual size as well. This is a sweater I would love to own!
Camel And Black Dante Sweater
Tabula Rasa
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4

Beautiful skirt but very small in the waist.
Beautiful skirt and exactly the type of item that makes a great rental as it is not something I would normally try on or buy. The silver and gold threads in the skirt are very sparkly - does not really come across in photos - and they do shed. Heels were a must, at 5'8" I still wore 3.5" heels to keep the skirt from dragging the ground. The sizing in the waist is very off as many of the other reviews have noted. I am usually as US size 4, but ordered two sizes up in this skirt and it was still tight in the waist, bordering on uncomfortable. Overall it was a beautiful, fun piece to wear, and I received so many complements, but I likely won't rent it again.

Very cute dress for work and more.
Cute dress that I wore for work, then out to dinner after. I received many compliments. I sized down to a 2 (usually a 4) and it fit well. Mine did not come with the belt so I added my own to give me some shape. The dress is good quality, the material is nice and the colors are vibrant. I needed to wear tights to make it work appropriate as it was a bit short on me (5'8"). I would rent again.
Gabrielle Pansy Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 34C
Nice fabric, pretty color...I wanted to love it.
The fabric is a good weight and nice quality, and the color is beautiful, but the fit was not great. I think because the sleeves are large and make a statement the top would have been more flattering if the body was a bit less voluminous. That being said, it was great for my 16-week baby bump. If I were to order again in the future (when not pregnant) I would try a smaller size.

Love the vibrant colors
Beautiful blouse, the colors are so vibrant! This top was great for work tucked into a black pencil skirt. I wore a black cami under as it is a bit low cut, but the neck tie also covers that. I was very tempted to keep this one!

Cute, comfortable dress.
Cute, fun, comfortable dress. I wore this for work with black tights under since it is a bit short for my office. Doesn't have a shape to it, which worked great for me to hide my 15 week baby bump.

Cute and unique top for work.
Wore this top for work and it looked very cute with black skinny jeans. I wore a nude camisole under and just fastened one clasp at the bust. The folds at the waist were great to hide my 15 week bump.
