Surprisingly stretchy
Got this just to try size wise so I knew if I should snag one next time Farm Rio has them on sale. Was worried it wouldn't zip as I've recently gained weight but it's surprisingly stretchy! The inner layer is so soft/smooth. Only major issue for me is length but I have a 34" inseam. Would still be fine with higher boots.

Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 10"

Cute print, shapeless
Typically need a XXL in Rachel Antonoff but I was swimming in this! Appreciated it was still new with tags attached but couldn't wear it due to size. Has pockets but is one of those shapeless triangle shapes.

Casual but Unique
Paired with a Ralph Lauren white cable knit cardi that had blue and red accents and have never felt more put together. Compliments everywhere I went from all ages, races, etc... The dress itself is so effortless and comfortable. The bust was a little loose but as it's ribbed I don't know if mine was just a little stretched out. Otherwise an amazing dress that I'll rent again.

Holy Oversized Batman!
Wanted to love this cord set but like many other reviewers have pointed out it's super super oversized and not in a fashionable way. I'm a true 16/18 and could have done a L in this. For reference my overbust is 45" and under bust is 40", I typically wear 40D/42C bras. I ended up just draping it on my shoulders so no one could see how big it was. It was like wearing my grandpa's clothes. Otherwise it's a great, comfy piece that's well made.

Beautiful Print but a Little Baggy
Overall a great dress of quality but the chest area seemed baggy to me compare to the rest of the garment. Paired with a brown belt for a little more shape. It has some ruching but again seemed a little loose. Lots of fall colours means it's easy to accessorize with. Wore just once to a dinner but would consider renting again.

Compliments Galore
I am not a light colour or preppy style person yet absolutely loved this piece. Actually considered just buying it. Paired with a Ralph Lauren dress with similar colours, navy cord pants, and a leather skirt. Got compliments everywhere on this sweater. It's really the perfect long cardi.

Great Look Super Oversized
I bounce between a 16 and 18 so always aim for XXL when available. I should have listened to other reviews, super oversized and not in a cute way. I have 40" waist and 49" hips and probably could have go down to a L. I made it work with a belt and rented with the matching jacket (equally oversized). Well fitted it would be an amazing work/office outfit. Great quality and comfy just too too big.

Nonstop Compliments
Wore this for a little premiere in LA and was constantly being stopped by strangers giving compliments. I wore it over a green velvet Jay Godfrey dress so that I could wear it more open, and the whole outfit was empowering. May not be an as well known brand but this piece was so worth it! I didn't want to return it.

New take on a shirt dress!
Rented for myself but was too small (typically a 16/18 and wore another BM dress that was an 18 that fit fine, and ordered another 20 that was far too big). Luckily it fit my mom who is typically an XL (12/14). She loved it, especially the collared top! Lots of compliments on how pretty and simple it was.

Jewel toned beauty, runs small!
Rented this for my mom to wear on vacation but it ran too small. She wears a 12/14 usually and we rented the 16. The dress itself was gorgeous but she couldn't even get it over her head. Definitely recommend sizing up on this one!

Gorgeous print, small fit!
After reading the reviews about running small I made sure to order the largest size available, 3X, despite usually being an XL. Sadly, even that wasn't big enough. My mom is typically a L and also couldn't get the 3X to fit. It's a gorgeous print, the colours are vibrant, but the sizing it so off.

Beautiful dress, don't forget the tape!
I've never received so many compliments! Wore this for my cousin's beach wedding in Cancun and was being stopped by strangers throughout the resort asking where I got it from. I'm 5'10" and wore the Long with flat sandals and it was just to the ground. I'm typically a 16/18 and originally rented the 20 and it was far too big. The 18 fit perfectly, so would recommend your usual sizing for this (rented another BM in a 22 and it was super small, so I was worried about the sizing). My only advice is to stock up on fashion tape! I had to pin and tape the dress in place to make sure there were no wardrobe malfunctions but otherwise stunning and comfortable!

Unique print to stand out!
I ended up not bringing this dress because my suitcase was overweight BUT I did rly like it. From the pictures I thought it would be more like a sweater material and was surprised to find it was quite lightweight. Unique mix of colours and patterns definitely make it stand it. I'm typically a 16/18 and got the 20 and felt it fit just right, so I'd recommend sizing up. Would definitely rent again in the future so I could actually wear it out.

Perfect length for day and night!
My mom wore this for my cousin's daytime beach wedding in Cancun and well into the night. Being shorter (5'3") she was concerned about getting a dress that would be too long but the asymmetrical skirt on this was perfect. She said it was extremely comfortable and she didn't have to adjust it at all once she put it on. Our family and friends were also very complimentary and loved it as well!
