Pretty in pink ... and blue and black and green and white and
Such a fun, springtime dress. The colors were brighter in real life than they looked on the screen, but I didn't mind. It was a flattering cut, and there were several features that I appreciated, like the buttons at the bottom to create a slit and the extra fabric under the arm to prevent sideboob. I received lots of compliments and felt very confident in this.

So short
I could not wear this dress, as I am not a figure skater or a member of the Ice Capades. It was so short. It's really a shame because the color is a rich green and the cut was generally flattering. If you rent, prepare to wear it as a tunic with jeans or tights.

Surprisingly flattering
This is more modest than what I usually wear - it felt kind of like Mennonite chic - but I loved the fluttery feel of the fabric and how it skimmed my body. The color is terrific too.

Fun and flirty
This dress is simple but fun and flirty. I was comfortable at an event that lasted almost all night, and the dress photographed well. I'm very happy with this one. I'd keep it if I could.

Awkward fit.
The drape of the dress was awkward and strange. I looked like I was going to a fancy toga party.

Pretty but tight
Pretty dress that got a lot of compliments, but it was a little too tight for my comfort.

Stunning coat
This coat is beautiful, well-constructed, and very warm. I felt fancy just putting it on to run to the store.

The cut wasn't flattering
I rented this to wear to work, but the cut of the dress wasn't very flattering. The way the waist was gathered made me look like I had a mild case of pregnancy. (I do, however, think this would look extremely cute on women who are indeed with child.)

I couldn't wear this to work
This was a cute dress, but it was much shorter than I expected, so I didn't wear it to work as planned. I looked like a Kate Spade figure skater.
