Clown Pants
Enormous and too much material - especially if you're short and chubby.

Too Short, Too Tight
Too/chest fit large, but bottom is way short and tight. Material is stiff, and the pockets stick out.

So cute, but too short!
I rented the pinstripe one and the same brand that was a great length, but this one I literally had someone behind me at Starbucks tell me to pull my skirt down. So embarrassing, I changed into the other Natori I already wore at the same conference. Really wanted to love this one, but the length killed it and it felt a little tight in my torso.

Wanted to love, but hated it on me.
Beautiful color... I just have too much tummy - it did not lay right on me, and sitting down I felt so exposed and gross (had a cami on, but felt like my gut was just hanging out). Very easy to wrinkle. Arms were comically large.

Gorgeous formal, but felt like my favorite loungewear!
Soooooo many compliments on this absolute stunner, but also was probably the most comfy I've ever felt in a formal setting. Perfection!

Standing on comfortable business!
So nice, I wore it twice! It is absolutely perfect for work or business meetings. It's more charcoal and a light pinstripe - you can wear any color shoe you want - pop of color, or neutral. The way this drapes and has some ruching is so flattering!! Extremely comfortable with some stretch, and not as heavy as you'd think! Got tons of compliments!!

Fancy comfort!
Gorgeous and light - perfect for a warm-weather formal event! The ties mad it as loose or snug as I wanted (and I wanted to hide my problem tummy area). The color is bold and beautiful! My only gripe: static cling on my legs! Just get the right stuff for that, and you'll be fine!

Cute.
After a bit it loses shape and didn't look flattering on me as an apple shape. It was cute, but I wish it had been a little longer to make me look better.

Pretty, but itchy.
Wore this with a black cardigan to tone it down some for church. I got it as a backup for an event. It's very cute and flattering, but it was very scratchy.

Looks nothing like the model - too short!!
I'm not tall at all, and this felt almost like a cropped fit on me. I was hoping to wear with leggings, but it did not cover my rear. The slits were up to my ribs, also. The structure was nice and it felt well-made, but the fit missed the mark.

This warm, snuggly sweater dress was perfection! The colors are amazing for fall, and since the dress is rather heavy, it falls so nicely!

Wore this to my office holiday party and got tons of compliments. The lining is silky smooth and did not pull at all with the sequins. Draped so nicely and the tie hid my mom tummy.

Itchy and hot!!
I previously reviewed this and stated that the sleeves and sparkle were overkill. I still stand by that, but I wore this to church and could not stop itching and fidgeting and I was so hot. This material traps body heat.

Pretty, but Bible-page thin!!!
When I say sheer, I mean it. You absolutely have to wear a slip. It does have a curtain/Mormon vibe, but it made it Church/work appropriate. Colors are beautiful. Shape is excellent - fitted, yet still can hide a tummy. Might rent again if I can find a better slip.

Modest, yet still stylish. KS always is a winner. Received mine new with tags, and the material feels so rich!! Lining and draping is just gorgeous. Puff sleeve but long and weighted enough to not be overdone. Definitely will rent again.

So cute! Fun and happy print!
Got many compliments at a conference. Felt great to wear on a hot day. Lined, but it's cotton, so kept me cool. Wrinkles, but not terribly and was a little weighted so it kept its shape.

Nobody can fit in the chest cups.
I wish this didn't have cups - otherwise I would have loved it. Really pretty blue and the bottom draped so well. The weird chest totally ruined it. Cups kept riding up over my boobs (and I'm small-cheated!). Felt so self-conscious and kept trying to cover up.

Everyone is right about the arm holes.
Loved the color and look, but had to wear a cardigan to cover the arm/chest area. Major design flaw. Very heavy, but that makes it drape well. Super comfortable!

So cute and versatile!! Definitely renting again, and might not give it back next time. Elastic in waist made it comfortable, but didn’t take away from the structure. Navy and camel check goes with so much of what I already own.

Too cutesy for a 42 year old.
Made me look fat(ter). Print and tiers were a little young for me. Very comfortable and light for summer, though! Chest was large. There’s a snap, but I needed a tank underneath. Colors are vibrant, and print was unique.

Huge chest, small everywhere else.
I’m “mid size,” and it’s frustrating sometimes because pieces in my size range assume a larger bust. This dress is adorable, but tight in the lower half (I was uncomfortable sitting), and huge in the chest (I had to keep adjusting so I wasn’t showing my bra). Also, this wrinkles very easily. I loved the idea, and the cream with black trim was very nice. It’s also well-made and fully lined. It just didn’t fit my body type.

Pretty and summery, but weirdest fit.
Seriously, what the heck happened with the cut of this? No matter how much I shortened the straps, they still fell off. If I loosened them, the chest would fall forward. Skirt was probably 4” too short for a thicker girl like me. Print is so pretty and it felt so cool for summer. I did get complimented in Target by another lady.

Need to style or else it’s too plain.
I had to add a belt to elevate this. I did like it, but without *something* it looked like coveralls. Loose and comfy fit. Great length for short ladies!

Most compliments I’ve ever gotten!
Wore this to a major event in DC and ladies I’ve never met stopped to tell me how much they loved my dress - I felt like a queen!! My friends told me to buy it. I’ll definitely rent again, but I think I could size down one. The chest was a bit loose for me.

Gorgeous, but hard to get into without help!
The chest/rib area is very tight!!! Once I got it on, though, I felt so pretty!! It was a bit long for me, even with heels, but I didn’t care. Hides every problem area and accentuates your better features. Loved!!

A conservative stunner!
The sweatshirt-style top is a little stiffer than I'd like, as it made the neck feel tighter than it actually was, but it definitely makes the dress more structured than too casual. The wrist ties were slightly annoying, but made the look very put-together. The colors and fabric of the skirt were gorgeous. Length was great for work or church.
