Too baggy
Rented this for work. It fit in the shoulders but the arms and torso were too long and baggy.

Hunter Wrap Blouse

Cute dress for work or play
I'm 5'@, so the length was perfect--a couple inches above my knees, which made this appropiate for work and for going out. There's a little vit of extra room in the best but it's not noticable with the cut naa fabric of the dress. Sinc I'm wearing it in winder, I like that I can wear a long sleeve thermal underneath! The fabric is light and breezy otherwise and would be great on a summer day.

Good work dress option
I rented this for a work presentation. I usually wear a 6 or 8 (but more often an 8), so I was surprised that there was a fair amount of room in the 6. I probably could have done a 4 for a more fitted look but the 6 worked fine. I wish this came in a petite size because the dress was 1-2" too long for me, but it was workable with high heels to lengthen out my legs a bit. The green color and notch in the color were nice to keep this from being too boring. I would rent again.

Sexy, fun LBD
Loved this little black dress! The cutouts and and high slit are a fun details. Like other reviewers have noted, the straps don't stay on your shoulders that well, but I didn't mind. I ordered a medium because I didn't want it to be skin tight and it worked, but it was the slightly bit loose so I'll try a Small the next time to see if that feels better (it might help with the straps staying up as well!). Highly recommend.

Pretty dress but doesn't work for a short torso
This dress is really pretty! The lace and color are lovely. Both sizes fit but I probably would have gone with the S for a more fitted look. The main issue was the top half--there was too much length from shoulders to hips, which made the shoulders too high. If I pulled the dress down so the shoulders were correct, the neckline was too low. With the lace, there was no way to pin it so it lay correctly. I sadly had to send this back

Beautiful maternity dress
Loved this dress! This was my second time renting it as a maternity style, but the first time I wasn't as pregnant. Since this isn't specifically a maternity dress I was a bit worried about fitting into it but it wasn't an issue even at 34 weeks pregnant. I did get a size larger than my normal because it was the only one available but I think my normal 6 would've worked too. The cut and style are very forgiving even if it's a tad large so size up if you need.

Particular fit, fun dress
As the other reviews have noted, this dress is very fitted at the waist. I'm usually a standard size 6, and this 6 was a bit snug on me. The 8's waist fit better but the top was too big otherwise (extra fabric at both the sides and the shoulders), so I went with the 6. I got a lot of compliments on the dress--the pattern is very fun! Also, the hem was stitched in a way that almost made it a bubble skirt--I thought it was a mistake at first, but it was the same on both sizes.

Fun, bright spring dress
I got this for a friend's baby shower. The material was medium weight and didn't need to be steamed before wearing, and the fit was true to size. Lovely, bright, fun dress! For some reason my measurements aren't saving in my profile, so for reference I'm 34-28-34 and the size 6 was great.

Unique dress!
I'm a standard 6 and the size 6 dress fit perfectly. I liked that there was coverage on top since it was cold out and I could slip in a thermal tank under the dress! The skirt is so fun and unique. Thick material and it was deeply wrinkled when it arrived, so account for needing a steamer or iron if you're not getting it shipped to your house.

Dress runs small!
I ordered this for my company's holiday party. The dresses (sizes 6 and 8) arrived two days early (yippee!). I'm typically a standard size 6, but I tried on both sizes and the 8 was still hugging too closely at the waist. Since the cutouts are at the waist, the cut of the dress is not forgiving if the sizing is even a tiny bit too small. Sadly I had to return this dress.

I wore this to a charity gala with a Cuban theme. The dress was perfect! The bright florals fit the
The fit was perfect. I based my order on the waist measurement and it was right in the money. The length was right at the knees for me, which was also good for me to know for future orders--if it's knee length on the model it'll be too long for me! Fabric was a medium weight and doesn't wrinkle easily--I didn't have to steam the dress out of the bag. Also liked I could wear a normal bra with it. Overall a very "easy" dress to wear!
