I'm typically a size 2 and a size 2 worked but was probably a little large (space in sleeves and shoulders/chest). Still wore it and it was super comfortable but I'd suggest sizing down for a more fitted look (with it loose it kind of looked a bit retro). Color is gorgeous.

Loved this dress. Yellow color is muted / most pastel than bright. Fit was true to size (can size down if you want it to hug your curves as there's stretch to the fabric, but I preferred my normal size 2 for work). Slit in front and on sleeves add a little style and flare, but length of dress keeps it appropriate for professional environment. Styled it with a scarf and looked great!

Wore this for a brunch post wedding (not my own wedding). Very comfortable and the top can be tied tighter so relatively adjustable for bust size. The positioning is such that you can cover up normal bra straps so easy to wear, though you could probably go without too bc fabric is thick enough. Fabric is thick without being suffocating so still ok to wear in warmer weather. Just maybe not too warm since it's also long.

This dress was super cute - very light also so good for summer. A tad short for work and sheer in back but if you wear a nude bra, the pattern is enough so that it doesn't stick out. Also just threw a blazer over it just in case. Will definitely rent again.

Loved this dress - wore to work - a little tight around the neck for me if I buttoned but I'm flat up top so wasn't revealing to leave unbuttoned. Fabric was amazing - doesn't wrinkle easily and very comfortable. Note that there is no stretch though. I usually wear a size 2 and the size 2 fit perfectly.

The small fit me perfectly - if you fill out the top you don't need a bra given thickness of fabric but I probably do just to help with shape (I'm small up top). Ultimately did not use because it was too heavy for the wedding I was planning to use it for (85 degrees is the forecast). May consider for future events.

Love this dress! Great color and fun shape. Super comfortable. Some people might find the sleeve really intense (for instance I think my bf would much prefer this dress without the ruffles), but I feel they stick out less than I anticipated and actually balance out the dress well. Comfortable material. Will rent again. Probably could fit in 0 but liked the 2.

Runs small - I usually wear a 0 or 2 and while I fit in the 2, I was way more comfortable in the 4. The dress is comfortable if sized appropriately and easy to wear for full day. The neckline is a fun cut / unique - but still work appropriate. The color is also a good pop and on the brighter side - but given it's in the blue family, should still be generally acceptable for most work environments. Would have been 5 stars if the lining didn't keep peeking out the bottom when I sit.

The slip inside is shorter than overall dress so you constantly feel exposed in the back even though you're not (at least not if you are upright - riskier if you need to bend over...). Fabric not stretchy. Also for 5'6 girls, the slit on left in front will feel particularly short. Generally looked cute on though! Nice print and summery. Great alone or with belt. Just probably wouldn't pick this first.

Size 2R was right fit for me here- fitted but not tight so dress maintains flowy feel without me looking like I'm drowning in fabric. Right length too so down to ankles but doesn't touch ground. Comfortable fabric albeit can be staticky when you first pull on. Will definitely rent again.

Runs a little small. Next size up fit me well. However, didn't love the dress because it was a lot of material...meaning if you're not skinnier naturally, the material and shape of the dress means you'll look pretty "full". Fun variety in materials though and I like the high waist / start of the skirt. Reminds me of a flower girl dress, but for adults.

This was cuter than I anticipated, but short for work. I liked it with the collar open too vs buttoned so combined with the length wasn't something I'll look to repeat. On length- it probably isn't bad standalone but the scrunchy waist meant that it rode up and stayed up unless pulled down when I sat down / stood up. Also couldn't raise my arms without more than I'd want exposed. Maybe would work better for shorter gals/gals with shorter torsos.

Fabric is thick and looks nice. Super small on me though - I'm usually a size 0 or 2 in bottoms and I tried the zero. Couldn't get it past my butt- probably need a size 4 at least. If fabric was softer I would have tried up a size bc I like the look. However, fabric isn't particularly soft and you can feel the seams on your skin - which might be fine for others - but is uncomfortable tor me.

Awesome leather jacket - color makes it versatile across a wide range of outfits (looked good with jeans, black tights, flirty floral dresses) vs my own black leather jacket. Warmer than you'd expect a leather jacket to be (thick/heavy material) especially when combined with a thick scarf. If you want to wear thicker long sleeves underneath- size up. Otherwise, true to size and very fitted particularly in the sleeves.

Need a slip to wear unless you're wearing over other clothes/jeans - otherwise fabric is really lightweight and effectively see-through. Size 2 would have been the right fit for me though in terms of sizing (fit well around shoulders, looser in lower sections). Fabric is comfortable/not scratchy.

I was able to fit in the XS and it looked cute but note there's not much stretch in the material so may not be the most comfortable for long days or large brunches! If ordering again probably would try the S. Also most bra straps will show in the back given the cut, and dress is not easy to put on/take off without a friend/partner- so not the most convenient.

Cap sleeve is cool in theory but the way it was cut accentuated my arms - not in a good way. Felt like my arms looked really strong from the front. Otherwise the dress fit fine and was comfortable. On the shorter side length wise for a work setting but the conservative neckline and darker color generally helps tone it down so I wouldn't have felt uncomfortable wearing it to work if I had to.

Good work dress, with pop of color for fun (but blue still makes it relatively safe). Longer skirt than I typically like but work appropriate (just past my knees and I'm 5'6). Material does wrinkle easily though and small stains/marks really stand out so not great for travel. Comfortable but still flattering if you size up. Could probably do normal size too but would likely hug curves a bit more.

I might consider an XS for going out, but not for work. I rented the S hoping it would be less form-fitting for work, with color tamed down with a neutral tan blazer, but it was still was pretty tight (stretchy so comfortable but definitely hugs all your curves), just with excess fabric in weird places (gathered around shoulders and back/waist). I think the XS would have fit better without the excess fabric - but then it'd probably highlights curves in a way that I'd prefer to avoid in a work setting so this one is going back for now. Fun color and comfortable/soft fabric.

Good work-to-date transition / Friday dress. Probably a little shorter than I'd like for work but with black tights and a blazer over (to cover the gap in back between top clip and end of zipper) was fine, especially for a Friday. Fits true to size and was very comfortable and stretchy at the waist. Got a lot of compliments at work - both on fit and print. I personally liked it a lot too, but didn't love the black and white band at the waist that probably provided the stretch. Would have preferred if the band was just all black so it wasn't as jarring/didn't stand out.

Unless you wear an undershirt and dark tights, this is not appropriate for work. The slit in the front goes pretty far down (can see bra depending on the angle). The slit on the side of the dress while not super apparent/obvious while standing can result in more skin exposure when sitting/crossing your legs. Fabric feels heavy and of good quality though and the loose look of the dress is pretty cute/great color, just not my style.

Loose fitting on me (which isn't necessarily bad but didn't love the flare/extra fabric along the bottom combined with looser fitting body). Fabric and color were great but didn't love the fit as described and the tie by the neck (felt very flight attendant-esque). Going back/didn't wear to work.

I like the unique slits, color, and initial fit: looked killer with my weitzman heels. However, I agree with others that it definitely stretches out throughout the day around the waist and butt which isn't the most flattering or convenient. If you wear I'd suggest using a belt.

Cute and unique cut - most flattering from front, a little weird from sides. There are zippers in sleeves which dig into your arms a bit when you bend your arms. Not an issue at first but by end of a long workday it's uncomfortable. Also if you raise your arms up to grab something from higher shelf dress raises to a height you don't want at work.
