Okay, not great
The fabric is thick, taking away from the sophisticated silhouette Ran big, may like better in smaller size
Textured Knit Crepe Jumpsuit

Bright and comfortable
Runs large. Flows great and good in a hot climate

Adds volume to hips
The flare at the bottom of the vest broadens the appearance of your hips. Bad enough on its own, but when paired with the matching full pants it makes for a large silhouette

Big pattern and dress
It is a really striking dress but if bold patterns and big dresses can overwhelm you this isn't the one for you. I am blond and fair so I felt like I disappeared in this dress. Also think length will be a real issue for shorter ladies.
Talia Dress

Unique beauty
The fit was very forgiving. A little odd at the top. Photo angles either made it look great or large. Love the concept.
Asymmetrical Dress
ARIAS NEW YORK
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Little tight through chest
If the top were a little looser this may have been a keeper. The tightness ruined the wrap illusion.
Seagill Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"

So close..,
The drop in the back is too much. The front has all the potential with the beautiful lay of the silky fabric but the back screams oversized bag. Too much fabric with no structure or design.

Charmie Cowl Neck Backless Midi Dress
By Malene Birger
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Elegant statement dress
I preferred this with the strapless look but the one side rode up frequently. Had to frequently adjust. The front slit is cut well making it easy to wear even if that isn't your usual style.
Gigi Gown

Size Worn: XLR

Functional
Fit is good and it was comfortable for all day. I wore with a scarf, belt, tights and boots. Just didn't get there on its own
Mir Navy Knit Collared Dress
Aldomartins
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"

Cozy
Very comfy, easy to throw on, but lacks that something special. Good basic for a day in the office
Colorfast Short Sleeve Dress
Donna Morgan
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Easy polish
Comfortable but a little stiff around sleeves/shoulders. Doesn't move as smoothly as I would like. The feel of the faux leather also is not the best.
Rhea Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 36C
Fun and hot weather friendly
Could not be more comfortable and has the always sought after pockets. Attention getter from the front, the back was a little more baby romper look. Would have liked a little fuller back side but didn’t stop me from wearing more than once.

The ruching is magic, makes shape wear unnecessary. Didn’t have smaller sizes available when I rented but it worked fine. If I rented again would probably go down a size or two for a better fit.

This beautiful, soft sweater can be worn dressy or it can elevate a great pair of jeans. Fit and length were just right. Bought it!

Fun elements
Wish the fabric was softer. Was something fun for around the house but not the statement maker I hoped for. Also because it runs so big it doesn't give the warmth you expect.

Mixed feelings
It was tight through waist when buttoned so wore it open. Couldn't wear as often as I hoped but it did get compliments when I did.

Usual great Veronica Beard fit. While sleeves are short this is a warm jacket which made wearing in the south a little more challenging.

Strange back
Loved the idea of the dress but it had gathering in the back that gave it a strange poof. Don’t know if it was just this dress or how the design works on me.

The perfect gown
Soft velvet, sleeves to keep you warm and cover any arm issues, sexy off the shoulder top, comfortable on, ruffles that compliment your shape and a leg revealing slit. What more could you want? Have rented twice and loved both times

Easy to wear elegance
The front ruching makes this a forgiving dress. The color is amazing so be ready to stand out. It was a little short, next time I would go with a long to hit floor length.

Easy everyday dress
The vibrant print, flow of the dress, and pockets made it perfect for a slow work day in a hot climate. As others noted the sleeves are much too tight if buttoned but okay if left open.

Flattering length and design
This sweater’s design is just right. The white frames you rather than being a distraction. The length is just right giving some shape rather than being a wooly bag like so many sweaters.
