Just okay
This skirt is okay, but I would never pay the purchase price for it - the material seems kind of cheap and stiff, and the skirt seems like something that you could get in the mall. The model is wearing it with the high part in the front, which is also how I wore it because it looked the best on me that way. But based on the inseam and tag, I think it is actually supposed to be off to the side, so if you wear the high part in the front, there is some adjusting you have to do to make the skirt lay right. I wore it with a white tee tucked in and a nude belt and wedges on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. The print is on point for a warm vacation.

Beautiful dress; so versatile; flattering.
I love this dress. I wore it to work twice, to a holiday party, to a musical, on a date, and on the weekend with leggings and boots. If it wasn't so expensive I would buy it. It is flattering, especially for me since I am bigger on top and have broad shoulders. It just seems to slim down the mid section somehow too. I am starting to think I should not have returned this one!! It can be dressed up with glitzy jewelry and heels, or throw a blazer on and wear it to work - it is comfortable and very versatile. It goes with black shoes, brown shoes, almost any purse, and I think the color would be flattering on any skin tone (I am pale).

Runs extremely BIG; looks worn and used.
I wanted to love this. But, like everyone else said, this runs huge. I got a large anyway, thinking I am bigger on top and wear sweaters underneath in the winter - but it was still enormous on me. Also, it looked worn out and the "fur" was matted and just looked cheap and not luxe at all. Note, this is more of a grayish/lavender color - and not the dusty mauve shown on the model. I returned without wearing.

Perfect holiday dress
This dress fit perfectly - I am larger on top and it had a good amount of stretch to adapt to my broad shoulders and chest. The rouching and criss cross at the middle are slimming, plus the plaid helps hide flaws. I wore it with a black blazer and booties. The people I worked with thought the dress was great for our holiday party, and I got a lot of compliments. It was part high fashion and a little bit of English punk rock vibe with the faux leather details and my black leather booties - fun, flirty, festive, work appropriate, and modest. I ended up wearing it on Christmas also to get another use out of it.

Runs small
This ran small on me - I could not zipper it up. I rented the 10 because there were no 12's available. Was way too small - smaller than a normal 10. Could not even get the zipper up half way. Pretty dress though. Festive - would have been great for my holiday party.

Never wore it. SO small.
I got a Large. Wouldn’t even zip up half way. If it had zipped up it would’ve looked ridiculous anyway because it would’ve been extremely short and extremely tight. I am not tall (5’5”) and a large was too short to wear to work. This is more like a dress you’d wear to the club except no one wears long sleeved plaid dresses to the club so I’m not sure what this dress is meant for. Definitely better for smaller framed women, but did not work for me.

Such a warm and cozy coat, effortlessly stylish
This runs a little big. I intended to use it as a coat, so I got the large so other layers would fit underneath - but I think I could have done a M. The L doesn't look bad though and has enough shape to look fine. It is SO warm. It has been working fine as as coat for me on these chilly mid-40s Chicago days. Any higher than low 50s and I think it would be TOO warm. It is not (in my opinion) for indoor wear, it is too bulky and warm. The sleeves are a bit long but you can roll them up, or in my case, I left them long and used them as make-shift "gloves" outside. I wish this had pockets and did not shed so much. But overall the look is so casual-chic, and effortlessly stylish that my complaints are minor and have not stopped me from wearing it every day. I am 5'5" and it is much longer on me than the model, it goes past my knees - but it still works. SO WARM AND COZY.

Pretty dress, nothing to write home about
This dress is pretty - and very girly and reminds me of something I would have worn when I was young on Easter. The sleeves are cool, and the neckline is really pretty - but the dress was very long on me, past my knees. The long length plus the flowiness of the skirt, plus the covered up neck, plus the pastel pink with flowers, just made the entire piece seem very prim and proper to me, which is not exactly my style. I wore it to work, and one person said "Pretty dress!" And they are right, it is pretty - but there is not much special about it. Plus if you have a tummy it kind of accentuates it, and I did not wear spanx so I had to suck it in all day.

Best coat ever <3
I adore this coat. People were stopping me on the street to tell me how nice this coat is. Strangers! It is so soft and warm and cozy, and just has a stylish unique look to it. A real show stopper. Can be dressed up or worn casual (people will just think you're quite posh!). I felt like a million bucks in it. Oh did I mention, I actually bought this because I loved it so much. Now it is mine forever!!

Versatile, fun skirt!
I loved this skirt. It stayed in place all day even though it was a wrap. I wore it to work with a white blouse and wedges and on the weekend with a white tee and sneakers. Got lots of compliments. Very flattering. It has a fun, flirty look to it. Material is thick enough that you don't see a visible line when you tuck in your shirt, but still light and wearable in 90 degree humid summer weather. Will rent again!

A little snug up top; pretty dress!
This dress was form fitting on me - I had to wear spanx and suck in all day. It was also a bit short for work and almost too dressy. I was going out after work for cocktails & dinner with my friends and wanted to look nice. The sleeves are very cool and make this dress stand out. The color is pretty & seems universally flattering. It was quite snug on the top, altho I have issues often with that due to wide back/shoulders, big arms and decent size boobs. Wouldn't rent again except maybe for a daytime wedding.

A little frumpy, too long
This dress fit well and was very beautiful on the hangar. But when I put it on, the length was past my knees. Also there is a lot more 'poof' to the skirt of the dress than I expected. Those two elements made me look a little frumpy. I was going to were this for my rehearsal dinner but decided on something else that was more flattering, more fun and a bit sexier. This dress is pretty but to me, it is more of a church dress or something that a person would wear to tea with the queen.

So cute and flattering!
This was a very cute dress. I am 5'5" and it was a couple of inches above my knees which doesn't bother me, but if you don't like short hem lines keep that in mind. The material was very soft and breezy, but wrinkled VERY easily. That is my only complaint about this dress. The color is more of a tan than the orange hue pictured on the website, but that was fine - the color was still nice. Overall, a very comfortable, cute dress. I wore it to work.

Versatile, comfy, beautiful colors
This dress is awesome - and versatile! It is two pieces - a slip dress (with drop waist) and a top. It can be worn so many ways - I figured out at least 6 different looks for this one item. The fit was good (although the slip dress was a little tight on me) and it was so comfy. I wore it with black leggings and boots to work one day, and on the weekend to a dinner. The colors are bold and pretty. The pattern is sophisticated. The neck is interesting and there is a button detail on the shoulder and sleeves that adds extra punch. Overall, loved this item and would rent it again.

Runs a bit small; awkward shape and design
This fit me, but it did not have the loose and flowy look of the model shown on the website. Instead, it was more structured with heavier material than I anticipated and looked a little stuffy. Also, the lace details around the shoulders and back was awkward - the top part of the lace is not stitched to the shirt, so the "triangle" parts of the lace were flopping over and looking weird. This would be better if the lace band was only on the front torso because that part of the lace was laying flat. Overall, just an awkward shirt that did not flatter so I returned it.

This ran a bit small and was a little awkward.
This was a little snug but I would have worn it anyway, had we not been having a slight "heat wave" in Chicago in February, and I felt that this would be too warm and fuzzy to wear in 50 degree weather so I sent it back. The cut in the back is a little odd. It sits very snug on the shoulders and then the back flares out and your lower back and entire rear end are not covered - which is not a big deal unless you were expecting the vest to be a bit longer in the back since it is so long in the front.

I wore this to work and also on the weekend to a nice restaurant - both times with leggings and booties, and with a blazer for work and black leather moto jacket for dinner. It is very pretty, very comfortable. The draping and ruffles are nice and hide imperfections.

5 compliments in 1 day!
This was a bit small for a 10 but it looked great and the cut and pattern are very flattering. 5 people, including a straight male coworker, all commented on how nice/cute/exciting/nice this dress was. I will rent this again! Loved it! In a world of black dresses, this one really stands out! The hem was loose in the slit and the stitching had come undone, but that was noticeable only to me and did not detract from the awesomeness of the dress.

Beautiful color!
This dress was a little boxy/big so I added a black sash as a belt which really elevated the entire look. I got lots of compliments at work. This is a vibrant orange/red colo - really pretty and stands out in the crowd. A well made, comfortable dress - but next time I will try a size down for a more streamlined fit and hopefully shorter sleeves - the sleeves were a bit too long.

I was disappointed because this dress is cute but I could not zip up the back at all - it felt like it was 2 sizes too small.

Cute for beach
This was great for the beach, but I think it would be too short to wear as an actual dress anywhere else. It was perfect for breezy mid 70s temps but when the sun came out and the temp went into the 80s, it was too heavy and hot to wear.
