Super cute...as a top!
This "dress" is uber comfortable and very pretty. I'm 5'6 and there was ZERO way this could ever be a dress on someone above 5'4. Maybe when I was 20...but not so much anymore. I threw it on over jeans with a cute tan leather jacket and it was perfect for this mom on the go. Perfect tunic length and had the boho vibe I was going for! Definitely recommend ...but as a top!

Pretty dress, needs some adjusting!
This dress was very beautiful and perfect for the heat we were experiencing in Charleston. The arms were definitely snug but the rest of the dress fit really well. I had an issue, like most wrap dresses, with it being a little revealing in the front (why are there no hooks for a wrap dresses??). I ended up using double-sided tape that, of course, became on sticky about halfway through the day and I had to resort to the good old paperclip method. Unfortunately, it took away from the aesthetic of the dress. All of this being said - I have a B cup, so I can't Imagine someone with a bigger chest trying to wear this. It is really pretty though and I'm glad I rented it, though I'm not sure if I would rent it again (i'm not a big fan about making modifications! Too much work)!

Horribly ITCHY!
I have the unlimited subscription and rented these pants and was waiting for the blazer to become available. The pants arrived and I tried them on and OMG - I couldn't have them on longer than a few minutes. They were horribly itchy!! How are pants this expensive not lined?? I try to get the most out of my subscription but I took these off immediately and put them in a bag to ship back. No thank you. Would not recommend. It's a bummer because I think the whole outfit would have been super cute!

Unique - but short!
I wore this for a football game for work - always on the hunt for that perfect light blue! The sleeves were very unique and I got a lot of compliments on it but just a warning, it runs a bit shorter than I'd like. You can somewhat tell from the pictures but there is no give, so you gotta be ok with the length on this piece. It was great for what I needed it for (wore it with dark denim and booties) but would have given it 5 stars if it were an inch or so longer!

Good blazer, great for work!
Liked this blazer/coat (really could go both ways). Good for fall in the south because it's a medium weight tweed on the outside, very pretty but subtle. I don't think it did anything for my figure but it's not supposed to be a tailored piece. It was brand new when I got it - had to cut the tags off. Love that! I'm a true medium (6) and it fit TTS.

Cute, but size up for length!
I do the Unlimited subscription for work so I got this and I gotta say, love the button sleeves. It's all in the details! The color is fantastic BUT it was a bit short for me. I can see looking at the model pictures now that I should have assumed it would be short on me as well, but I hoped she was a lot taller than me. I still wore it to work and might rent again in the fall and pair with tights and booties. I will say that the buttons did show signs of wear up close but still, a cute dress - thick fabric but still worked in the ever South Carolina summer.

If in doubt, RENT IT!
Such a pretty dress. Perfect length for work and I got a ton of compliments on it. It fits a little loose but it made it even more comfortable without being unflattering. I will definitely be renting this number again!

Excellent quality!
The material on this dress is thick but worked in the hot Charleston summer since my office remains at a reasonable 32 degrees. While the fit was spot on and hit me in all the right spots - definitely had to pair with a cami to make it even remotely work appropriate. I even tried fashion tape to see if I could do without and it just wasn't having it. I paired with a cream lace cami from the NSale and it worked perfectly. Still liked it better without but that would be wearing this drink on a date night or out with friends -- not for work (which is why I rented it!). I would rent again!

Perfect!
Fit really well and got a ton of compliments! Got this as part of unlimited and very happy. Might not work in super conservative work environment but you can throw a blazer over it to help that. Beautiful material and flowy-will rent again!
