Perfect for a sneaker formal
I love pleats everything! The dress stayed up even after a night of dancing. The pleats glided over my menopausal pouch, totally drawing attention away from the trouble area. I paired the dress with a pair of red sneakers and a red clutch.

Perfect for dancing!
I wore this gown for a Royal Blue and White adult prom. I rented sizes 14 & 16 for my pear shape. The 14 fit my hips perfectly, but was too large in the chest. With double sided tape and bra inserts, I was able to fill the top out. I received numerous compliments and felt amazing. It’s the perfect dress for dancing!

Great travel piece
I chose to try this jumpsuit in spite of the negative reviews. I'm so glad I did. It's so soft and comfortable! I'm a 10/medium on top, a 12/14 large on the bottom. The material hugged my hips perfectly. For the top I used Fearless Tape to keep the top in place. I looked pulled together and was comfortable for my flight.

Gorgeous color!
The color is brilliant! The flow of the dress is feminine and is the perfect length. But make sure you have your Spanx ready! The dress shows every curve.

Good alternative to jeans.
I wanted to run errands around town or go to brunch with girlfriends without looking like a slob. The dress emphasized my small waist and the flare of my hips. A win!

Stunning dress!
I received so many compliments! The dress skims along your curves and is incredibly soft. It's like wearing a tee shirt but looking fabulous while being comfortable. If I had the money I would purchase immediately!

Great summer dress!
I love this dress! My best friend and I met in a nearby city for dinner on a gorgeous patio. The dress skimmed my torso and flowed around my legs as I walked. I'm pear shaped, so I didn't have any trouble with the bust. The color popped against my dark skin. Perfect dress for dinner under the stars!

Unflattering
I wore it only because I had nothing else. The knot pulled across my chest and lower belly in the most unflattering way. I'm slim, but the dress created a thicker, bulky appearance.

Choosing the right size is key
I listened to reviews and first rented an XL. I was swimming in it. Rent your true size. It was a little too warm for summer wear. I'll try again this fall.

This dress is perfect for pear shape or hourglass. It gives you a beautiful shape without feeling constricting. I will definitely rent again.

The shape was very boxy and unflattering.

Not very flattering
I wore this to work and was underwhelmed. The waist was too large and didn't provide enough shape.
Kristie Dress

Very forgiving
The stretch material doesn't bind but flows gently over your curves. I wore this dress twice and discovered it stretched too much: during the second wearing the dress didn't cling to my curves as much. I tend to look boxy if my waist isn't clearly defined and I was getting the effect during the second wearing.

Gorgeous color
This sweater really stands out because of the brilliant blue. I'm really sensitive to the feel of rough fabric on my skin, but I didn't react at all to this sweater. If I had the money I would have purchased this one.

Loved, loved, loved this one!
I will rent this one over and over again. The color is a fantastic sunny yellow. Even my male colleagues at school complimented my look this day. I love the length, and the dress is uber comfortable. If it ever goes on sale, I'm buying this one! You may want to wear a slip or undergarments that won't leave a panty line if you wear it to work. The dress is a nice weight, but you still need suitable undergarments.

Sexy
Someone described this as "just a sweater", so I had low expectations. I paired the sweater with black leggings and black boots to a get together with friends and felt sexy. I received compliments and will definitely rent again. Go with the suggested sizing because the sweater runs large. I almost sized up from an xs and I'm glad I didn't.

Even the students liked it
I wore this with a red turtleneck to school. A student commented that she liked my style. The jacket looked great on, but it was a little tight in the arms. I didn't want to go a size larger in fear of a sloppy look.

Great layering piece
The large fit very well even though I usually wear a 10. The color is a bright red-orange--perfect for brightening dreary winter days. I kept this one for a while because of its versatility.

The dark side panels emphasized my curves, but the longer length made this dress perfect for work. Size up if you 're pear shaped like me!

Work appropriate during the day, but can 'work it' at night!
I'm glad I followed previous reviewers' advice and ordered a size up. I struggled a little when I attempted to shimmy the dress over my hips, but the end result was beautiful. Fitted but not too tight for a school environment. A black sweater hid the opening in the back. This dress is perfect for work/night out transition. I didn't want to take this one off!

Wow! Snug, sexy fit!
Too much for school! This dress fit my figure beautifully, but I will rent again for a formal meeting where I hope to seduce someone over drinks after work. Which will probably never happen because I teach. *sigh* Great dress though.

I didn't want to take it off!
Loved the flow of this dress! The fabric billows around you as you walk. Very comfortable and light but lined and substantial enough for work. I wore it without a belt and with a blue tank underneath. The twelve was a little big in the waist but tight in the bust.

Wore this shirt for a casual Friday as a middle school teacher. My kids loved it even though I thought it made my figure look boxy. Since boxy is fine for my work environment, I wore it anyway.
