Too deep/wide to wear on its own. I paired with a sweater on top and made it work!

Not great for boobs
Dress is great quality and very flattering, and I’m someone who often avoids tight dresses due to my tummy. However, I just couldn’t get the top to work with my boobs. It gaped significantly, and after much time spent rearranging and taping I just couldn’t make it work. Very sad as it’s a beautiful dress!

So small
A beautiful high quality dress, but it was way too small - would need to size up two sizes for it to fit. Also FYI, it is definitely a dress that requires assistance to zip

Runs big!
Be warned - this dress is very puffy. I love a loose fitting flowy dress but it was almost too much for me. Was fun for a day of sightseeing on vacation, but don't think I would wear on my day-to-day. Also runs big! I typically wear a M but was happy I sized down

Cute and flowy!
Good work dress and can easily transition to happy hour/dinner. The front was almost too short for the office, but the back is longer (as you can see on the model) which made up for it. Got a number of compliments!

Size up if you have boobs
Beautiful dress, but was unfortunately too small for me to wear. I'm a pretty consistent 6 on top and the 10 didn't work.

Cute if you size down!
Like the other reviews say def size down! I'm typically a 4 in pants (on occasion a 6) and the 2 fit well! Sizing down once worked for me, some may need to size down twice. The legs were still on the baggy side, as expected since that's the style. I paired them with a fitted top to add some shape. Wore once to dinner (pictured) then again to work with white sneakers and thin sweater. Different than what I usually go for, so it was fun to rent!

Wear a tube top underneath!!
Definitely size up - I'm always a 6 and the 8 worked well - snug in a way you'd expect from a corset top. As other reviews mention, material is shockingly scratchy/uncomfy for such a nice brand. I wore a Brandi tube top under which helped a lot!! Wouldn't have been able to wear for more than 5 minutes otherwise. Once it was on the cut was SO flattering on the waist and I received compliments all night! It does squish down your boobs FYI unless you wanna push them up and embrace some cleavage

Very Chic and versatile!
Dress is high quality and the pattern is a fun retro-feeling design - received lots of complements! I'm a consistent size 6 and the 40 (rented based on availability) was uncomfortably snug in the shoulders/chest. Was still able to wear the dress for brunch then straight home but would have preferred a 42!

Love!
I love loved loved this skirt! Wasn't sure if the waist would fit, but it was great. Worked well for a rainy spring week, and I'll probably rent again in the winter - the material is thick, but I didn't get too hot while wearing it either.

Love!
I rented this dress fully ready to go buy a slip to wear under, but I ended up not needing one! Didn't have an issue with nude underwear. Anyone with boobs likely won't be able to use the little clasp while standing, but I was really happy to have it while sitting so it didn't gape! I love that this dress can be dressed up or down - could be styled for a nice event, but I dressed down with no jewelry and sandals for brunch.

So fun for summer!
Ended up loving this dress!! When I first tried it on, I was worried my boobs wouldn't fully fit in the designated area (I'm a 34Dish), aaand I was right. BUT after playing around and making adjustments, I realized the way the dress hangs, my boobs were totally camouflaged and it looked super cute anyway. Didn't feel like I needed a bra or even sticky boobs, which is super uncommon for me!

Runs small! Great dress if sizing works
I sized up and it was great! Usually size 6 on top and the L fit me pretty well. I also have skinny arms so the sleeves worked for me. It's a really fun style if it works for you! I also didn't need to wear a bra which is uncommon for me!

So fun!
Wore this as a coverup and loved it. I usually have a tough time with rompers because I have a short torso, but I sized down to a S and it was great! I'm a size 6 on top (S/M depending on sizing), 4 on bottom. It is definitely denim !! even though the pattern looks like it would be a lighter fabric

Cute if you size up
I sized way up - usually size 6 and wore size 14 in VB sizing. It fit well but overall was a black dress and didn't think it was anything special. Wore for brunch with friends and didn't feel the need to wear a second time

So fun!
Ended up LOVING this dress and received so many compliments. If you have boobs and are between sizes I suggest sizing up - it runs TTS but chest was on the small side (I'm 34D). When I first tried it on, I didn't think it would work as my boobs were almost too big for the dress, but after some rearranging I was able to make it work! I wasn't sure how the layers would look because peplums aren't usually flattering on me, but I loved the cut!

LOVE - so many compliments!
This dress is so fun! It does run a little small - I'm consistently a size 6 but sized up to an 8 and was glad it did - the straps were a little loose, but it's not an issue because of the tie in the back that lets you make it as tight as you need. It's a really fun silhouette that can work for any time of these year

Liked it didn't love
Didn't like this as much as I thought I would. The pattern was really fun and would love to try another piece with the same pattern. Ordered my usual size in VB and the fit was good, not great - I have a short torso so the top gaped, especially when sitting. Because of that it wasn't work appropriate.

Loved the bright color!
Loved wearing this top so much. I got a lot of use out of it and received compliments every time I wore it! The cut is flattering and fits true to size - I'm a size 6/M. I was very very close to buying, but decided against because it gaped just enough to need altering (I have a short torso), and the elastic on the arms was a bit tight and became uncomfortable after wearing for a long time

No complaints
This is a good top to rent because I wouldn't wear it more than a few times a year. It's a fun wear, the sleeve cuff has an asymmetrical design which is a pretty detail, but was slightly in the way while typing at work. The stripes were a little more pajama-y in person than the photo shows

Perfect transition poece
This was great for Saturday brunch during that time of year when it's not hot but not chilly either. At first I wasn't sure about the dress when it arrived, but tried it on again at the end of the week and thought it was so cute! You can make it loose or fitted depending on how you tie the bow. I would def rent again!

Just off
Overall, it seems like this is best for someone with a small waist and boobs. The dress is very pretty but was just off enough that I went with another dress. Main issue for me is the straps were too long (pictured). I have a short torso, so this wasn't a surprise. I'm a true size 6, but sized down to a 4 (8 in the brand) - it was very tight but still fit. The boob area was big, and I'm a D cup. Thankfully the material is this so no bra necessary!

Such a fun look
I was hesitant to rent this dress but ended up LOVING. It. It is more forgiving than other silk dresses I've tried before - still ended up going with spanx, but they weren't 100% necessary! Also I was able to wear a strapless bra no problem. I never thought that I'd be able to pull of a yellow dress, but ended up getting so many compliments! It also photographs very well. Fits TTS

I've loved having this coat - kept it for a few months! Pairs well with pretty much any neutrals. Also can be dressed up or down. I wore it everywhere from running errands in leggings to nicer events, and received compliments all the time! I'm usually a 6/M in jackets or coats. This was slightly oversized but pretty tts

Wore for months!
LOVED this coat. Rented in November and kept it through the winter. I wore it countless times and got compliments almost every time. I ordered my normal coat size and it was a slouchy look with plenty of room for a jacket or thick sweater underneath. If you want a more fitted look or don't plan on wearing this clothes under, consider sizing down

Hides a tummy!!
I was pretty bloated when this skirt arrived, so I was worried the silky material would highlight my tummy. Not the case!! Once I tied up the front, everything blended right into the silhouette of the skirt, and since the waist has a bit of stretch it wasn't constraining at all!

Oversized, great for layering
This was such a fun coat for Valentines weekend! Wore it all weekend and received so many compliments. The coat is pretty oversized, so you can size down if you aren't wearing thick sweaters/jackets under. It's not super thick, but it is warmer than the material suggests. It's pretty cold where I am (in the 20's), so I layered underneath and was plenty warm. Highly suggest! My day-to-day style isn't quite this colorful, otherwise I would purchase!

Runs small and so stiff!
I sized up to a 28 thinking these would work. They fit snugly but comfortably when standing, but due to lack of stretch I could nottt sit down in them. The style is super cute though so I will try sizing up again to a 29! I'm thin but apple shaped with a bit of a tummy which did not help when sitting

Very cute, but didn't fit like a dress
At 5'5, I was hopeful I could wear it as a dress - no such luck. It fit like a very oversized top on me. I paired with jeans, and would be cute with bike shorts in warmer weather!

Arms run so small!
This was cute, but the arms run pretty small. I'm a size 6 due to my chest/shoulders with skinny arms, and it was uncomfortable to bend my arms. Didn't like it as much as the leather jacket I already have, so anytime I tried to style this jacket I ended up just wearing mine. It's a high quality jacket, but I'd never guess it's so expensive based on the material

So comfy for work pants!
I really liked these pants! I'm typically a 4 (26/27) in pants. Rented the 42 based on availability and they were a bit looser than I would have liked, but still fit! I'd say if you like a more fitted look, go with your normal size. If you like some room size up.

Slit opens when sitting
Pros: This dress was very flattering! It's also very light so could be worn in warmer weather despite the high neck/long sleeves. The pattern also has a hint of navy, so could be worn with navy or black. Cons: I have a short torso, and this dress really gaped - could have easily fixed that with a pin/tape. There's no lining, and it was a tad bit see through. Worst part for me was the slit would not stay closed when sitting no matter how I adjusted - ended up not wearing because of that

Runs a bit small
I'm typically size 4 in pants, 26/27 in jeans. The 27 was *so* tight I wouldn't have been able to move around comfortably. They seem like great jeans so I'll size up to 28 and try again

Very cute but missed the mark
I had high hopes for this dress and really thought I would like it, but it just didn't work for me. I have a short torso without a well defined waist, and the cut of the dress only accentuated that. Also, the high neck + long sleeves + three tiered skirt + ruffles all over was a little too much for me. I did like that chiffon is light and airy, which makes it a good transition piece. It's also very versatile and can be dressed up or down

Cute if the sizing works for you!
This dress runs very small beware! I'm a size 6 in dresses, usually a S/M, and I have skinny arms. After reading reviews I decided to size up, and the Large fit perfectly in the waist and in the arms. I did find that the top gaped - I'm a C cup with a short torso, so if I had either a smaller chest or longer torso I don't think it would have been an issue. Also found the dress to be more formal than expected - initially planned on wearing it around on a Saturday, but it's too formal for that
