Stunning blouse!
Rent it! The color is a show stopper, especially around the holidays. The length was barely long enough in sleeves (but at 5'8" that is life) but was definitely a nice length overall. It covered the top half of my bottom, which is always flattering. It cinched nicely at the waist, so if you hold any extra weight there consider sizing up. My normal size 6 fit well. Lots of compliments while wearing out and about!

Great work staple
I really liked this blazer for work. It's a blend between a cardigan and a blazer, while remaining comfortable and warm. It fell a bit longer than usual which was lovely and flattering. The length of the sleeves was just barely long enough, but that's normal because I am 5'8" with longer arms and legs. A perfect work staple. Probably too basic for weekend wear, but a great piece for a work week staple.

OBSESSED
I have had this for 2.5 weeks now and should just buy it (but can't get past the price tag on it). It works for everything - currently wearing it with jeans and a white long sleeve. I have worn it in the past with a long sleeved dress and booties out on a date night and it was adorable. My only small complaint is that it is a fabric that attracts things, and having a cat at home means I use the lint brush immediately before leaving the house. Non-pet people, no worries as it doesn't pick much else up. Elevates everyday outfits, and kept me warm in New England November!!!

Skip this one
I actually seriously disliked it. Didn't even try to make it work just sent it back (I've never done that before, always found a way to make a piece work). Big in the shoulders, so low cut that 75% of my bra was out, but then tight-ish and shorter than was appropriate (keep in mind I'm 5'8" so the length may only be a tall people problem). Disappointed as DVF wrap dresses look so cute in pictures. Don't waste an item on this, it's a gamble to get it to fit your body.

Perfect Dress! Highly Recommend!
Love! It is a festive color for fall and winter. Long sleeves and long length made for a really a warm outfit. Even being tall the sleeves were long enough. Wish it was a few inches shorter in length, but that is just because I prefer my dresses knee length or above. If you are debating between sizes go with the smaller one. The fabric is beautifully thick and forgiving. I usually wear a 6 and could definitely have gone a size down with a small. Debated buying! A perfect Christmas / holiday party rental :)

Boring, small, underwhelming
Meh, don't waste an item on it. Pretty boring and nothing unique or flattering about it.

Beautiful basic that runs slightly small
Usually a true 6, but could have used an 8. If you're wearing out for nighttime could stay with normal size but for work definitely go up one. Cute and tailored. Looks nice with a pop of color on the shirt worn tucked into the skirt.

Cute top, especially paired w a black skirt
Beautiful colors and design. Sleeves were long enough for me even though I have Kong arms. It too tight and not too short. Was thin material so didn't make you too hot. Would rent again!
