Chic and sneezy
The fit was spot on! Wore to work and there began my troubles. The fabric is loosely woven so lots of fuzzy fibers went to battle to irritate my sinuses, and hours of sneezing and congestion later, I found relief and pride I managed to make it through day. The wool is the culprit, and in the close up, the wispy ends can be seen and I'm nearly getting congested just thinking about it.

Work Dress Works!
It's easy to wear and any wrinkles kind of get lost in the pattern. The waist band is elastic so this would fit many body types. The colors are bold, and fabric is thin so it can be worn in warmer weather and humid climates.

Bring back the 90s!
Once I could get the pants on, it was so comfortable to wear. Wore running errands, working from home, traveling, just about anything! Tons of compliments, doesn't get too wrinkled packed in luggage. The length was perfect for me, however I can't speak for the waist. It was a struggle, I would size up next time. My waist measures 30" hips 39".

Warm and comfy
Wow, wore these everywhere during the winter, temps 20s-30s. Hiking, walking, out to dinner, these pants kept me warm and were comfortable to wear. It did itch my waist, tucking in a top or wearing a bodysuit fixed that. The pants were snug on the hip for me, take a look at the pockets and buttons stretching out, not too flattering. Length was perfect! I felt like I was wearing chic pajamas! Paired with a larger puffer and any nude colored sweater or t-shirt. My measurements as follows: Hips 39" | Waist 30" | Inseam 29"

Size up to ride
Kept me warm, in 20s Fahrenheit while snowboarding. It was a perfect fit with a long sleeve. Had I worn a sweater I could not have zipped up the jacket. The hood fit over the helmet, which is a bonus! The chest pocket was tricky to get my phone in, the pocket is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. I would size up next time to have a little bit of extra room.

The only reason I didn’t LOVE is because the print and color tone is not for me. Everything else about this piece is high quality and great fitting. The print looks like someone took the time to draw very intricately on the fabric, it’s quite impressive. Puff sleeves, A-line and a little stretch is a good combo. The fit was spot on.

Size down…or not
This top is business with fun. Ordered a 10 and it is huge on me, where the sleeves start about 2” below my shoulder. Tucking in would work, but wanted to show how it looks otherwise. I’m 5’4” and it hits mid thigh, so it could work untucked with pants, 5” shorts make it look extra expanded in the hip area, and anything shorter why bother because it can’t be seen! I’d personally size down on the next try, unless I want to go for the “Impromptu-sleepover/This-is-all-he-had” look. Me: Hips 39” Waist 30” Arms 12” Bust 37”

Yes for Yerse
Just a tad large in the armpits and hips. The pockets poof up a little making the dress wider in the hip area. Felt that the length was couple inches too long, and the sleeves though it was elastic wrists, was tight on my elbow when I scooted the sleeve up. The colors are deep and pretty, and everything else fit well. Here’s me so you can see my experience will be relatable to you… Hips 39” Waist 30” Arms 12” Bust 37”

Fits like a glove
It fit perfectly everywhere, had I had a second helping at dinner maybe it wouldn’t! Wore bodysuit underneath due to the peekaboo cutouts for work. It’s currently 80 degrees out and the fabric is breathable for this humidity. Puff sleeves make it so any shoulder sizing would fit, which I appreciate! Lace cutouts are adorable. It’s a light yellow, more of a pastel mustard. My fit: Hips 39” Waist 30” Arms 12” Bust 37”

Great summer dress for work
I had trouble with the belt, as you can see the back didn’t hang right on the waistband so it looks strange. Still loved it for work, the skirt is light and luxe feeling, while the top has a stretch like knit which wasn’t uncomfortably warm in the summer. Gold accessories would look so well with this one! Everything fit comfortably. Me: Hip 39” Waist 30” Arms 12” Bust 37”

It’s sheer but not see through, it flows and it’s beautiful. It doesn’t wrinkle and in the summer heat it’s a full cover up without being stuffy. A+!

One of my favorite rentals ever! The top is this crisp, hotel sheet, white fabric paired with the most vibrant green skirt. Wore to a casual work day, and out to dinner and errands! It’s light for the summer heat, and does require a little steaming for the top. My fit: Hip 39” Waist 30” Arms 12” Bust 37”

Potential side boob
Love the color, love the shape and print and belt. I could not wear to work without a jacket to prevent side boob flash, and I guess depending on what “work” is that may be non issue, but for me I’m not comfortable with that. It’s a thicker knit, so it’s a bit warm for humid and tropical weather.

Good Summer Dress for Work
Wore to work, it never needed steaming and looked fresh hours later. The side bow was impossible for me to get it to look like the models. I found the top to be larger, so the armhole draped much lower than my arm and extra fabric hung there making the sides look bunchy. If it wasn’t loose it probably wouldn’t have any give as the fabric is silk like. Not a deal breaker but I wouldn’t rent again.

Everyday and Easy to Wear
It’s a pretty dress, yellow but not so bold but just the right amount of bright. I steamed the skirt well but a few hours later it wrinkled. I don’t think the nude wedges were the best pick, maybe some wedge sandals or espadrilles would keep with the flowy vibe. It fit well, the top has stretch.

Good structure, high slit
This dress is held together by a single button! I braved this outfit for work and was able to sit down in one position only without flashing the room. Love the structure, it wrinkles quickly and I wore a bodysuit to address the rather low cut. It doesn’t have much stretch. My measurements Waist: 31” Hips: 39”

Oversized
Don’t think you can go wrong sizing down. I’m usually a 10 but the top was larger than I expected, and I probably could’ve gone down to an eight or a six. what I didn’t like was how flared out the bottom half of the shirt was and I didn’t look good tucking it in because there was so much material. The material is a thick cotton feel. Perhaps if it was a lighter fabric the oversized shape could’ve draped better.

Elevated everyday
Size 10 was a little large, but it worked. I measure hip 42” and waist 36”, and the hips ballooned out. The waist cinches with the belt, so it didn’t have to be a perfect fit. I would rent a smaller size next time!

Beautiful To Wear, tons of compliments!
I took a pic to show the sleeves are wide that without undergarments it's a peekaboo show. This dress fit like a glove in the waist and loose up top and was incredibly comfortable. Also, as the day goes on, the middle seam twisted counterclockwise which no one noticed but me. Perhaps it's due to how the dress clung to my waist? My measurements are the following: Hips 39", waist 36", bust 37".

Beautiful
The print and color is stunning. The material feels like a cool light cotton, and the wrap design is a delight! Wore to work, needed steaming. I may have needed to size down, as the top was too loose to not wear a cami/bodysuit underneath, and the back side material puffed up regardless of how I tied the belt or pulled the dress down. Tried to show these in the pics.

I loved the color and print, needed zero steaming. May have been a tad too big for me, the belt feature was maybe an inch or so below my waist and occasionally the bottom button would come undone.

I loved everything about this except for the fit on my chest. There's a stitch line across the middle of the bust, and felt like an elastic band that cinched everything in the wrong way. I think it would work for smaller chested folks. The material feels like cotton and didn't need much ironing. My measurements are: Hip 39” Waist 36” Bust 37”

Cute and Comfortable for work
The belt fabric caught my eye and it works so well with the print! Wore it to work, and it was comfortable to be in all day. I wore a bodysuit, as the chest was a tad loose and the right angle would expose more than I’d like! The length was perfect, the sleeves not tight and since it’s a wrap dress, the waist and hip fit exactly. My shoulders measure 16.5” Bust 37.5” Arms 12.5” Here’s my measurements to

Holidayish Jumpsuit for NYE dinner
Here's my measurements so you can assess how my pic and review applies to you...Waist 34", Hips 40". Wore 2" heels. I found it to be great for above-casual dinners, especially around the holidays. It looked ok with white sneakers for daytime. The shoulders stayed in place yet I found the top of the suit to be baggy for the proportion to the bottoms. It does wrinkle a tad but flattens out after an overnight hang. Definitely gots holiday vibes with red and green all over.

Draped Drapes
After a thorough iron, I put it on and felt very skinny (a plus!) because the romper was insanely large. Waist, length, hips, wow I felt like I threw some curtain fabric over my body and there you have it. The romper had little to no cinch around the waist, which is probably why it looked like one big piece of fabric. The waist also hit about 3 inches below my actual waist. I’d definitely size down, and try again.
