Beautiful, great for work
This dress is so pretty, and the detailing enhances the simple silhouette. It is a linen blend so it is prone to wrinkling but not as bad as 100% linen can be. I did need to steam it before wearing but the wrinkles came out easily. The slit is not too high for a conservative office. This dress is very easy to dress up or down and would be a great wardrobe staple with its soft pink color.

Stunning!!
This dress fits like a glove. My only critique on fit was that the left sleeve was a little looser and tended to slip. I wore this with my black and red ombre Louboutin pumps, and the color of the dress is the exact same red. I wore the dress a second time to work with some black flats. No matter where you wear this, it is a head turner! It's absolutely stunning. If you're thinking about it, get it. Make a statement.

Cute dress
I wore this briefly to run an errand when I was trying on my shipment. This dress is very pretty, but the 8 was very large on my frame. I can wear anywhere from an 8-12 dress most of the time and this was huge. I will try to rent it again and size down. The dress flows nicely and would be amazing on a hot day.

Unique styling, soft fabric
This dress is very cute. The gathers and ruching give it a unique, interesting shape with the dark, more simple fabric. The fabric is soft and comfortable, but it does make it a bit more prone to catching animal hair or fuzz from sweaters, etc. Make sure you have a lint roller handy if that bothers you!

Loved it!
This dress is gorgeous. It's long enough to wear for work and very stylish. This dress is fully lined tweed, and it is heavy. If you have a lot of air conditioning where you wear it, you could wear it on a hot day, but otherwise I'd recommend wearing it when it's under 70 degrees because it gets hot.

I absolutely love this dress! It's so stylish, and was cool enough to wear on a hot, humid day. I paired it with some wedge sandals. The compliments I got while wearing this were nonstop. I wish I could have purchased it but I will definitely rent it again!

RENT IT
This dress is adorable, and I received SO many compliments when I wore it. And the price was just right, so I kept this one. It's such a lovely, bright color and the floral pattern makes it easy to coordinate accessories with a number of different colors. It is light and breezy, feminine, but still professionally modest. I am so glad I rented it so I could keep it as my very own.

LOVE IT
This dress came to me NWT! Very exciting. :D I wanted to purchase this one, but I couldn't at this point. I am 5'4" and have a longer torso and proportional legs (29" inseam). I say this because this dress is not too short, and it was perfectly appropriate for work in a medical office. The fabric is soft and so comfortable. It has a bit of stretch and fit like a glove. Highly recommend this one.

I loved this dress. It's a heavier cotton fabric, so if it is really hot and humid out, you may not want to wear it. I also overheat easily, so it worked well indoors with air conditioning. The fit is exceptional, and I felt so pretty wearing it!

Unique and pretty
This dress was great for work. The length is perfect. The sleeves were a touch long on me but the fit everywhere else was perfect. The long sleeves were thin and with an upper 80-degree day and air conditioning inside, I was comfortable all day.

This is a great sweater dress and not too heavy to wear in warmer weather, especially if you have a "women's winter" situation in the office where you work! The fabric is soft and light and very comfortable. I received many compliments.

This was a fun shirt to wear. I was a little annoyed by how easily the work I did steaming it disappeared, but it was comfortable and perfect for work. I wore it with a black pencil skirt to focus on the structure of the top.

I loved this dress. It is a little scratchy at the seams, so I wore a cami underneath, but otherwise it was a perfect dress for work and for going out. The pattern is very unique, and I got a ton of compliments.

I love AFRM
AFRM has some of the prettiest mesh pieces and this dress is no exception. It was hard to send it back! It's easy to dress up and down. It does ride up a little when you walk but it isn't too short. I wore it to work with a pair of sneakers.

This dress is everything. It came new with tags, which was a first experience for me. It has caution not to snag the fabric, as it is mesh. This dress is figure flattering with the ruching detail, and it came to my ankles. It is cool and very comfortable.

RENT IT
I loved this dress, everyone who saw it loved it, my boyfriend really loved it, it was fabulous. It's silk so it was wrinkled out of the bag; you'll want to steam it. There's a little weight in the middle of the bodice that keeps the cowl neckline in shape, which was unique. I am more of a straight body type - my waist is not a lot smaller than my hips (32 vs 39) and this dress hugged me just right. My boyfriend said it was "just right" for how short it was. Rent it, and wear it with confidence!

This dress is so pretty and comfortable. It is a jersey fabric so it has a lot of stretch and flows nicely. The dress is long and even with clogs I had a wet hem walking in some rain. The fabric looks like it stains if you get it wet. I do a lot of handwashing and hospital sinks are a little out of control with splashing. All the little splashes showed up as lighter colored blotches on the dress and didn't go away when it dried. Other than that, it's a fantastic dress and I got many compliments on it.

This dress is so pretty on, and very comfortable. It has a wrap to it, but just for the top, which is a little odd. It can gap at the waist if you're not careful. It's absolutely worth the rental.

This is a keeper of a dress. The fit is perfect, the colors are stunning, and it is a perfect dress for work. The only issue I had was the sleeve length, which was a little short. I solved this by rolling up the sleeves. Easy fix.

Simkhai is becoming one of my favorite designers on this site. I've worn four of their dresses recently. This gorgeous blue knit dress got a lot of compliments! I wore it to a conference and I was comfortable temperature wise - you never know what the air conditioning situation will be in those events and I didn't freeze.

Beautiful coat!
I was tempted to keep this coat. It's so comfortable and is a great color. A great piece for layering underneath - there is a lack of closures on the bottom half so it isn't going to keep you super warm on its own.

This dress is a soft knit that is very comfortable and doesn't make you regret wearing a sweater dress in spring! The only downside is that the cotton stretches out when you wear it, so it gets baggy throughout the day.

I got a ton of compliments on this dress! I wore it out to a dance party at a local bar and it is so comfortable. It is very easy to move in and the fabric is thin and breathable, so it was perfect for dancing all night. It does gap a little under the arms but wasn't noticeable with a nude bra. I would wear something over it if I were to wear it for work.

If I could have kept this one, I would have. At rental, I am 5'4" and 168lbs, 32DD and the 10 fit like a glove. I tend to have larger upper arms and shoulders, but the sleeves are mesh and have good stretch. The colors were perfection for my skin. The print is interesting and the ruching is very flattering. I got this for an important zoom meeting but it was postponed. I did wear the dress a couple of times and will definitely rent it again.

This dress is so fun!! I got tons of compliments on it. It's fitted enough, structured enough to be professional but it also has these funky details that make it unique. Wear it on a cooler spring or fall day, or winter with tights. I wouldn't recommend it for a hot summer day because it is denim. I would absolutely rent this again.
