Very stretchy yet heavy
easy and flattering fit, very stretchy and a little heavy. Had to be aware of slit at work, but not an issue as long as I was when sitting. Ran longer than I would have liked on me, almost ankle length or a little longer? Not long enough to be a full length but too long to be anything else really. It was fine.

Flattering, ebellishments are gold, not really white
Definitely no stretch so I went with larger size so that I could sit. Was flattering for hourglass/curvy figure, but definitely not the most comfortable dress I have ever rented. I probably could have sized up one more and been more comfortable. If between sizes, size up 1 or 2.

color is great, fit is meh
the bust line left a lot of material that made me look like I had wings. Color was great otherwise, but sleeves were very long and couldn't roll up because of split. Didn't wear.

Beautiful but was too big.
This would be flattering on most body types, but especially if you have or want curves. THe rouching is on point but not overkill. Stretchy fabric is easy to sit in. Downside: I had to wear the 44L instead of the 42L because it wasn't available, so that combined with the spanx meant it was riding up on my all night and sliding around. I think probably a little too big, but no idea if that would have been better in the 42. Also, there were built in bra cups that were no where near my size, so they were sliding around, and causing weird shaped chest. I didn't know they were there or I probably wouldn't have ordered, knowing they would be unlikely to fit me.

Simple but beautiful
I didn't end up wearing this, it was sent as a back up for a missing gown. But it was a close contender. I just needed a size larger I think. Not a lot of stretch to this, and I would have been uncomfortable sitting. I am a typical 8 in regular clothes, 10 in formal dresses, so the fact an * was a little too tight wasn't unexpected.

Beautiful
Not too sparkly, but enough that it was something special. Has a silver chain that could be a shoulder strap, but I left that inside. Could fit my phone, lipstick, and I took out my wallet items I needed because my wallet is fat, but could probably fit a thin one.

Be prepared. Sweater looked beyond summer lemon on me. Difficult to wear as a winter sweater. Slightly itchy. Not a hit for me.

nice mid-weight
Only down side was that it stretched out pretty badly almost immediately and lost that fitted look. Was great color and still fit fine, just not fitted.

DAARK DARK NAVY
You're going to have to convince me this isn't black. I am wearing it now with black pants. None the less I love it. Sleeves are a bit long, but soft, flows nicely, not at all see through. Considering buying.

Runs big, But warm
Im noticing now I was sent a large, and im typically a true medium. so maybe that is why it was big on me. Definitely runs short and wide. Sleeves also are super wide even at wrist, so hard with a jacket. But definitely warm.

Very Weird fit
Arms are very long, you have to roll them up, on me it made like a 5 inch cuff, pair that with a dropped shoulder, and it looked stretched out and just very meh. Color washed me out. Only plus was that it was soft, and i am very particular about texture. But I didn't wear, so that was only initial try on.

Looks incredible in person
This one is so flattering on but underwhelming on hanger. Thicker and warm so I would wear in warm fall weather unless you want to sweat and ultimately that’s why I didn’t wear it. But I loved will will try it for something else.

Actually really flattering. Sleeves were a bit restrictive and I have narrow shoulders. Fabric wasn’t the softest and was definitely felt like a tight, stretchy, sweater dress but wore better. Didn’t end up wearing but brought as a back up.

Fabric of dreams
Felt like a million bucks. Photographs well, wears easy, professional but modern cut. Fabric was stretchy and thick didn’t wrinkle. 100% bought this and had a client say if I didn’t, she would buy it for me. Obsessed doesn’t begin to describe this.

Short thick material
Too short for me for work. I’m 5’6 and this hit me mid thigh. Could wear with opaque tights maybe. Also thick slightly itchy material. Definitely not my favorite but was pretty flattering.

Not as expected
Definitely a gold threading throughout. Material was stiff thin and itchy, not sheer and flows as it appears. Ran on the shorter side and was just really not at all what I was expecting. Didn't even take off the hanger.

I would give it a 3.5
It was good, fit well, maybe a little big. But arm holes were good, which is always hard on sleeveless. The neckline was awkward and I found myself messing with it a lot, but I think if I wasn't DD, it wouldn't have been bad. But im not one for fussy clothes, sot he belt, etc. it was just to much for me. But I liked it fine.

Love it but also meh
First impressions was that this would be a staple and I should buy it. BUT its a little big and long, not sure if that would be solved by sizing down. Arm holes were good size, which is often an issue, and I don't think I would want the neck tighter. But definitely hits me low hip, would look good with skinny jeans and strappy sandals. I wore with green Theory trousers and did a french tuck, which worked for daily office, but would not be ideal for conference etc. I think its too much fabric to do a full tuck. Neck is not super comfy but not terrible either. Fabric hangs well, is thick but not scratchy, and doesn't easily wrinkle. its like a close miss for me, but not by much, just not enough to buy for this price point. Update: dang it. I have worn it twice. Its an easy wear and kind of a go to already.

Go-To Pants
Easy fit, slight stretch, enough to be comfortable, material didn't wrinkle even when sitting at a desk most of the day. Pairs nicely with black, white, grey, etc. Definitely considering buying. I am typically a 6/8 in pants and jeans. I got the 8 and they fit comfortably. Could have sized down but I don't enjoy tight work clothes an I liked a bit of room.

Easy to wear
Fit well, flattering. Definitely not stretchy and needed ironing to get out some tough wrinkles to really look good. Probably not well suited for hot weather, didn't breathe well, but was great for clean office look or fall perhaps. Medium fit well. I'm typically an 8.

Cute, quality dress, watch out of slit in front
I would say the dress ran a little big on me. I don't tend to like dresses without a waste while pregnant, and unfortunately this one didn't do me a lot of favors. I think if I had a pair of cute black shooties or something to make it a bit edgier, I would have liked it more. Overall though, the top was flattering, although a little low cut for my shape and for work. You couldn't see my bra, but I would have been messing with it most of the day, despite sizing down. Length was flattering and fabric was great. Color was much cuter in person than in pictures. I think this dress would be great for earlier int he pregnancy, or someone who was a little longer wasted/smaller bump than I. I really wanted to love it, and I did, but just not on me.

Comfortable dress for any stage in pregnancy
This dress was fitted, but could easily fit a variety of sizes. Fabric was thick and felt quality. Sleeves were not restrictive, and I did not feel the dress ran hot, despite wearing a blazer and the unseasonably warm weather. Length was great for work, could make it longer or shorter depending on how you used the pleating. The ruching did accentuate my bump, made me look a solid few months further along than I was. However, I wore this dress for a solid 16 hours, and was perfectly comfortable. Would rent again.
