Huge, warm, cozy
Definitely rented this too late in the year, it was too warm to wear out. Thicker sweaters always arrive smelling heavily of dry cleaning chemicals, so I Febreezed it and let it spend a couple of days airing out before wearing it to work. I could have sized down to an XS but I don't feel like I was swimming in the S so I didn't mind the oversized look. The sweater came down to just below my mid-calf, which some people would say is too long/bathrobe status on me at 5'5", but I don't care enough when it's that cozy (I did wear with heeled booties to look taller/slender). I did end up taking it off a couple of times in the afternoon (rarely happens with me and sweaters) so if you want this to be part of your look the entire day, rent it during the coldest part of the year or when you're more out side than in...

Fun and classy piece for work
Really enjoyed this one for work. It got me through a day full of meetings, a presentation to and older/more experienced group of managers, and happy hour. I enjoyed this combo of fun and professional and felt like it displayed some of my personality without feeling immature. I chose to button up the neckline for work, wore a tank top underneath to keep the peephole conservative, and didn't feel like it looked too awkward or overly conservative (but I also live in colder weather where nobody is expected to show any amount of skin before June and being too warm is not a concern). There is a side zip under one of the armpits and I always worry I can't zip up the chest area, but this worked out perfectly. Would definitely rent again.

Fun piece
Fits well, except I wish it was just one inch longer. Worn with a tank top underneath and thankfully didn't feel that made the outfit too tight or less fun. Quality material meant the structure of the shirt held up all day.

Nice idea
Looked great on the model, but was way shorter on me. I also felt the wrap wasn't long enough to tie properly. The shirt pokes out in front, making you look like you're expecting, but could be user error with tying the shirt.

Fine for everyday
Just got this to have something different in the wardrobe, nothing too special or boring for a regular workday. Sized up to make sure it wouldn't be too tight across the chest, which worked well for me. The collar did start to flop toward the end of the day, which was slightly disappointing. Thankfully there are many more sweaters to choose from, so I probably won't come back to this piece.

Great pick for a summer wedding
The pictures do not do this dress justice. The colors are more vibrant in person and the combination of the seafoam green with the blues and corals are fantastic. I ordered a 6 which fit as expected; my bust is a tad bit larger than normal, so it was tight there (but still breathable). I have a bit of a belly these days (is it still OK to call it post-holiday weight in July?) but the cut and style of this dress was forgiving for that. The fabric is a light silk and perfect for the 90 degree day we had. My only complaint would be that it's too short when sitting down. At the reception I was either standing or could cover myself with my dinner napkin, but I felt a little uncomfortable sitting down and showing so much leg at the church ceremony. Overall, would 100% order again!

Great for end of summer wedding
I rented this dress for a wedding at a Catholic church and ballroom reception. I ordered a 2 and a 4 - the 4 fit well but was maybe 1/4" too tight around the ribcage (still fits 95% TTS). The length was fine for the reception, but I felt it was too short for a full Catholic mass - I should have worn a different dress to the ceremony. The quality of the dress was like new; it felt fantastic and was light, perfect for a summer day/evening. The color was very flattering and worked well for an end of summer wedding. Lot of compliments on this number! I would purchase this to keep if I had the budget for it!

Unique and Elegant!
I rented this dress for a Labor Day Weekend wedding in the Northwest - it was the perfect dress for the late summer we have/early fall of the holiday weekend. The dress fit well overall: the bust was perfectly fitted where I didn't feel like it was too loose or that I was going to bust out of it, the body was loosely fitted and gave the perfect amount of sway when walking/dancing. The only complaint would be in the length...I am 5'5.5" (the extra half inch helped in this case) and wore 3" heels but the dress still dragged on the ground right at the front midpoint and right at the back midpoint (but only by about 1/4"). I managed most of the night but not without picking up the dress a bit. The length of the 2R fit but the bust was too tight for me. Overall the rental was well worth it since I received so many compliments and the color palette looked great against the backdrop of the wedding!
