Got the wrong size
I should have known that I am a 20 in this brand but that wasn’t available, so I went down a size & nope - didn’t fit. Great material, shape & construction, though. I’ll definitely get the correct size next time.

Runs very small
Couldn’t even zip this, which was so odd for a plus size brand. I’d expect TTS

Weirdly aggressive darting
I felt so conspicuous wearing this because the darting at the bust (plus the seam detail) made my breasts look like they were wonky with very pointy nipples!! It fit fairly well, so I have to think this is intentional for some reason.

Fun for a day
The sleeves are a lot, but I think the dress might be boring without it.

Too small & more casual than expected
This was more of a casual fabric than expected. Also, the XXL was more like an XL

Merle Cowl Neck Dress

Flattering neckline
Slightly flowy skirt made for a flattering fit without being too much. The print is actually little hearts, which is not exactly my style, but overall, it was subtle enough that I'd rent again.

Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 18

Flattering with great print
The sleeves are long & the material forgiving. The print is sophisticated & a great way to add color to your wardrobe without being really loud. The neckline is a little low, but I end up wearing a bandeau top for most of these dresses.

Love, love, love the print!!
The print is amazing, but bold. The fit was a little short & kind of awkward in a few spots, so I may not rent again.

Dizzying print
Fit great, but the thin stripes were a little much. For some reason, the vibe felt less stylish & more preppy.

Cute, but too short & tight for work
The fabric is a lot tighter than I expected given the description of other reviewers as having some stretch. I could zip it easily, but it clung in a very unflattering way. Also, while I am tall, this was nowhere close to knee length - more like midthigh - which isn't a problem I've had with other dresses this length. Good construction, a fun color & different look, but sadly, not for me!

Very cute, but couldn't find a top to wear with this for work
There were 2 issues that I ended up having with this. 1) the material was more of a light knit without much structure/lining, so it showed lumps & bumps more than usual for a pattern. it also showed the seam where my button down was tucked in (which led to the next issue) 2) I couldn't figure out what to wear with this for work. Most of my work appropriate tops are more of a smooth, semi-stretch material & it looked weird with this fabric. When I tried a button down, the fabric worked, but couldn't do a full or partial tuck because the line showed.

Tailored houndstooth made pants this length more stylish & professional.
The proportions on these was a little odd for me. The waist was perfect - close but not tight or digging into my waist - but the legs were tight. Not so much that I couldn't wear them, but they did bunch a little around my legs because of it.

Stylish & comfortable
Very comfortable & well made with some give to the material. The neckline, collet & sleeve details looked great in person and made an otherwise basic pattern look very different. Got to show the interns a stylish suit alternative!

Great for my first day at a new job!
A great suit alternative for a business dress office. The neckline was very flattering & the 3/4 length sleeves were good for office A/C. I wore a bandeau top underneath to cover some cleavage, though. Will definitely rent again!
