Comfortable & chic
At my height (5'5") that this was long enough to be appropriate for work. Adore the print and color! I probably good have sized down but I prefer lots of room thru shoulders so was happy to belt for shape. Wore for a variety of events - mom's pottery class, work & even a work conference with either nude sandals or heels.

Perfection
Perfect, slightly oversized fit. Looked fab with black slacks and edgy low-heeled mules for a conference. The leopard wearing heels is a fun & whimsical touch. Received many compliments.

Good quality & comfortable
I love this brand but wearing this once was plenty. Fit through the chest is just not quite right but it's comfortable and a very nice fabric/quality.

Cut and color are beautiful but I do not understand the designer's fabric choice. Even my 8 year old daughter said, "Mama, are you wearing a Plastic Dress?!"

Compliments like crazy
I ADORED this dress. Received it NWT and wore it like crazy because it's so versatile! Work appropriate but with the fabulous print & unique draping. I wore to a conference, on multiple work meetings & for Easter brunch with my family in Palm Springs. Received compliments from fellow sales reps, doctors I call on, random people at the supermarket, gas station, from servers, etc. I'm tempted to keep, but it's so eye-catching that now I've worn it everywhere I'd need to hide it for another couple years - basically the PERFECT rental.
A Few Palms Miko Dress
Le Superbe

Sheer, but fun
This dress is not lined and is VERY sheer. My normal nude boyshort panties didn't cut it - def need a slip or longer shorts/bodysuit. With that said, it is a very unique and fun dress. Long enough to be appropriate for work if you solve the sheerness issue.

Didn't wear
Shame these arrived NWT & will be returned same. Stiff w/no stretch. I have athletic build & top button was just not comfy. Also front of pants had a big gap, even when buttoned. Odd fit

Beautiful quality silk
Love that this is actual silk so it breaths beautifully. Must wear a slip under because it's very sheer. Not the most flattering, but pretty.

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"

Cute
This dress does have an odd fabric as others have noted. I'm not a huge fan of synthetics but it did look good. Tucked the next toes in so that I could wear a silk scarf around my neck.
Peplum Shirt Dress With Tie
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"

Gorgeous
Love that the dress is real silk because it breathes & wears much better than synthetic fabrics which are so common these days. Gorgeous print, everything about it was fab except it could have used the hidden buttons between visible buttons to keep it from gaping. I pinned between most obvious gap around the drop waist. Would rent again though.

I've been very tempted to keep this dress because it fits so well, is flattering and the details elevate it above a typical denim dress. Many compliments!

Versatile & pretty
Received many compliments. Easy to dress up or down depending on shoes & accessories. Looks great w/black blazer over for professional setting. Would have purchased if sleeves didn't tend to ride up.

Shapewear needed
Material showed bra straps in back, even w/high-quality bra that looks great under T-shirts. Wore once but didn't feel confident.
