Professional, flattering

Wore this to a funeral and to work - received numerous compliments. It's body conscious and flattering while still being work appropriate. If I wasn't trying to exercise some budgetary responsibility would buy it in a heartbeat!

Flattering, gorgeous color

Wore this with a small cardigan to a number of work meetings and received so many comments! The fit was excellent and flattering for me (column / straight waist; 5'9") and hit perfectly at lower shin. Love that the top / arm holes allow for a normal bra and don't scoop in at the front. Will keep an eye out for price drop to buy!

long and lean

Love this style and cut for my straight / not much shape build! The inseam is 30'', which is a little shorter than my preference (5'9-5'10). But the waist was a little large if you to wear them at your natural waist like on the model photos. For me this ended up working out fine as I wore them much lower making them look much longer. Truly the jean / cut (at least if you're taller) if you want your legs to look a million miles long!

Love the fit and cut of these jeans! I do think they run large in the waist and am hoping to size down next order. They are LONG - perfect for me as 5'9 - 5'10. I have Gen X trauma from being accused of highwaters as a teen and just can't get into the current ankle and above look, lol.

Cut and vibe are right but WOW so LARGE! Even trying it with a thick undershirt this gaped everywhere from my shoulders to hips and was really unwearable in a size 8 (me = 5'9", 140#, shoulders like a linebacker, lol). Will try again when available in a smaller size.

Flattering, lightweight spring / summer sweater

Loved this little striped sweater. It was a little short for work for me (5'9", long waisted) so for work I needed to pair it with higher waisted pants and a cami. Hoping the price reduces a little so I can buy it!

Loved these loose fit, long enough for 5'9" me, white overalls! I wore them once with a tank sports bra and once with a fitted tee - both looked awesome.

Loved this bright purple sweater. I typically wear a medium but ordered a large knowing his was a clingy fabric and found it perfect. If you prefer a snug / normal fit then usual size would be right.

Really cute and comfortable - perfect for chilly autumn mornings or to put on when the office turns a little cold. I ordered a large in case I wanted to layer over a sweater or sweatshirt and it was way too big even over a bulky layer. I liked it enough to re-order in a medium.

Versatile clutch - keep an eye on the closure

Cute clutch or purse - versatile with many looks. Fit my iphone X w/ case and few makeup items. The chain, whether being used as a clutch (tucked in) or not (with chain out over the shoulder) tends to get caught in the bag and, because the closure is magnetic and not a snap, I looked down several times during the night to find it wide open. Still cute, but need to keep a close eye on it!

Beautiful coat - NOT European sizing!

This coat is exactly what I needed for a dressed up event. I hadn't worn fake fur in a while and it REALLY passes for real --- which is a plus or a minus, depending on your perspective and peers! Super warm and soft. The sizing chart correlated 8 = L and the coat was labeled as such with European sizes as well, which made me assume European sizing and to size up. However this is truly a US large! With my dress I was swimming in it --- I easily could have worn a sweater or sweatshirt (or two!) underneath. If I was going to rent again I would pick a M.

Beautiful dress - no other like it!

I was so pleased with this dress - it is my favorite ever! It definitely stood out from everyone else and I got comments on it all night. I have very broad shoulders so the straps were fine, I imagine someone with a narrower frame may need fabric tape or other assistance to keep them up. At 5'9" the length was perfect with 2 inch heels.

Gorgeous dress - lots of skin but no cleavage!

Loved this dress! It was my back up but I was VERY torn after trying it on about whether to go with this one! Fit was perfect (5'9" 145-150# 34 D) and forgiving of my broad shoulders and straight waist. Warning for the very tall - length in the L was not super long - a 1-2 inch heel would have been it for me. I also would have needed some serious boob tape action as it was not fitted enough for me to go without a bra. I would definitely consider renting this again for my next event!

Cute but short

Lovely color and I loved the cut of the shoulders. At 5'9 and 34 C-D this did come up quite a bit shorter on me than appears on the model - so my pants needed to be higher rise for work or have the dreaded exposed midriff.

Stripes

Nice, modest dress for work. The pics on the model made me think the horizontal stripes at the waist might work but, oh, they did not. I paired it with a navy cardigan to diminish the boxy effect. I found this to run quite large - at 5'9'' and 145 the 8 was pretty roomy - I probably could have worn a 6, which is really just silly.

Work and play

I rented this for a work meeting that called for something a notch up from our usual fairly casual environment. I'm 5'9'' 145 and the medium fit perfectly --- which, to me, means it runs true to size for most clothes and runs a little bigger than most DVF (where I often need a L / 10). The cut was flattering and I found the dress held its shape perfectly throughout the day. I would definitely rent again.

Retro life

Super cute jumper - for the middle of winter I paired with a very thin cream turtleneck. DVF sizing is very unpredictable to me (5'9, 145). Some 8's are perfect, other times it is a 10 - which seems odd within the same brand. For this the 10 was exactly right (especially with the shirt underneath). Lots of compliments and easy to wear - I would buy if wasn't quite so pricey.

Cute and easy to wear. At 5'9, 150#, 34DD this fit perfectly in the chest and shoulders but was quite billowy in the waist --- and I typically like a looser fit. Cute pattern and cut, safe rental to pair with jeans.

Unique dress - camisole needed!

Love the look of this super flattering wrap dress. I would guess it's definitely made for someone not very busty as I needed a camisole and fashion tape to keep things in check. I received numerous compliments and, like most DVF, the dress feels very well-made and expensive.

Corduroy? Yes please!

Love love love these pants! I'm 5'9" and they came to right above my ankles - as on the model. I'm not curvy at all, so they fit perfectly through the hips and thighs - slightly loose, for me, at the waist.

Super, super cute and very flattering - runs large so I've returned my original size for one smaller. Pleats are gone after multiple cleanings, I would guess, but still a lovely dress. Easy to pair with a cardigan for cooler weather.

Stunning - no skin showing

Beautiful dress that stood out at my black tie event. I wear an 8 or 10, usually a 10, and the 10 was perfect. At 5'9" the long length was perfect with 2 inch heels and the cut is very flattering. I was not super excited about the cut out waist so I wore a black strapless bra and black high waisted Spanx that came to the bottom of my bra and it looked perfect - like the lining was continuous.

Beautiful, conservative gown

Beautiful gown - the long versions were a perfect length in 2 inch heels for me at 5'9". I'm typically a 8 or 10 and, in this, the 8 was more than comfortable in the waist and the hips downright roomy and stuck out as if they expected me to be curvier. I couldn't really get over how the hips looked so went with my back up dress... but if someone was curvier and wanted a conservative dress (here's to wearing a normal bra!) it is really beautiful.

Very flattering, sequins have seen better days

Beautiful dress that was super, super flattering. I usually wear a 8 or 10 - the 10 in this would have been uncomfortable. At 5'9" the length was perfect in 2 inch heels. My only gripe is that the sleeves were quite beat up in the 10 and 12 - probably would be passable at a night event with mood lighting but anyone close could see strings, loose beads and sequins.

Very nice surprise!

This dress was included as a replacement for an item I ordered that wasn't available. I ordered two dresses for a job interview - the style of this wasn't right for my interview and I almost didn't even try it on but I'm glad I did because it's LOVELY! I'm 5'9 but it still came to the floor and it has a much nicer shape than appears. I didn't wear it for my interview but did wear it to work the next day paired with black Dr. Marten boots.
