Comfy and Classic
2nd time I've rented this dress; very comfy stretchy fabric. Great dress to accessorize and it can go dressy or casual, depending on the occasion. I thought about buying it but I have eight white dresses, love white for summer. Nice length for the office.

Very Pretty and Fun
Loved this dress; nice fabric, and very comfortable. I got lots of compliments and wore this to a wedding reception, to work with a jacket, and out to dinner with family. Great dress to "dress up" or "dress down". Length was fine for me, but taller women, beware.

Very Low Cut
I read reviews that the dress was low cut, but I have a long torso so I thought it might work. Unfortunately I was unable to wear it with a bra, and it was too low for my personal comfort. Beautiful dress though. I think you need a larger chest to carry it off if you don't mind some major Décolletage.

Received many compliments wearing this dress to work and to a baby shower. You will stand out wherever you go with the bright pink dress. I loved the lines, it is loose-fitting with pockets. Stylish! And comfortable!

Nice fabric and color
This is my style dress, but was a bit short on me and too tight even at 123 lbs. It fit me around the hips but could not zip it past the waist. It arrived new with tags. I needed an 8. Usually I'll wear a 4 or 6 depending on the label. I am small busted and pretty straight up and down.

Great for work/evening
I read the reviews and ordered a 4, and although I could zip it, it was too tight around armholes and the bodice. I weigh in at 123, but the waist isn't what it used to be at my age. I'd size up in this dress. I liked it and wished I'd gotten a 6.

Gorgeous, fun and great color
Got a ton of compliments on this and loved wearing it. I wore it to a wedding and another event at my Yacht Club. I love asymmetrical dresses and off the shoulder, which this is. You'll have fun wearing it. One note, the shoulders are meant to be OFF the shoulder, and not over the top of the shoulder.

Love this designer!
All their dresses are fun and fitted, but they are all slip over the head. Stretchy comfortable fabric. I wore this to work, a bit short for the office though. I'd recommend as a fun evening out dress.

Very Shiny
I rented this on Unlimited for a night out. Although it fit, it was a bit tight. I could have gotten away with it in a dark color but it is shinier in person than in photos. Only suitable for a fancy party or night out. Covered in silver and white sequins. At my age a bit over the top, unless for New Years.

Love the Cut and the Fabric
This is a very nicely made fitted sheath, with some give to it to the fabric. This is a thinner jersey than some Mischkas. Bust fit perfectly and roomy in the hips, but I'm straight up and down. If you are bustier you might want to size up. I'd like to buy it. Great dress and just my style.

I rented this for my trip to Dallas where it snowed. It fit perfectly, was comfortable under my overcoat and provided added warmth. Great over jeans, dresses or with leather pants. I received numerous compliments (from strangers) and my husband loved it. I may keep it!

I love cut of this dress, but the 6 was too tight in the bodice. Trying the pink in an 8. I can wear a 6 in this designer, but this fabric has no give, so beware. Go big!

Fabulous dress but Tight! I was barely contained and I normally wear a 4 or 6, depending on the label. That said, it was very comfortable and I received many compliments. I'd wear it again but it isn't an everyday dress!

A bit too tight in the bodice. Very cute dress but more suitable for younger women, due to the cutout in the back. I thought about going for a 6 but decided against it.

Great looking dress
I did not wear this but chose my other selection. I loved the look and especially the neckline, and off the shoulder cut. I was not excited about the bottom of the skirt and instead wore a similar gown that was a bit more streamlined.

Great Color but runs large!
I rented this for a college graduation. It was comfortable but ran a bit large, I would have been better off with a 2. I have a long torso so was worried that the 4 would fit. The waist band hit me at a bad place and enhanced my stomach. Not a good look! The smaller one would have hit the waist a bit higher and been better. Great color and nice fabric.

Fun, but Misrepresented in Advertising
The turnaround is 6 to 8 days between rentals. Fun to try different things, but oftentimes fit is not right and selection is very limited. no way you can rent as many items as the promo bills this, not even close.

Unusual
I seem to be ordering wrong sizes regularly, although I try to read reviews first to determine which would fit me best. This fit but was a bit tight around the waist as it is a very fitted dress, and fabric has no give. I didn't wear it since I thought I'd be uncomfortable in it all day. It was interesting though and a fun look. I seem to have lost my waist (at my age DUH) so I need to be careful with fitted dresses, if fabric has no stretch. I prefer sheathes in fabrics with a little give to them.

Bright interesting pattern
Like the fabric and pattern. The neckline is very odd though and the sizing is a bit off, definitely need to size down for this dress. It is very comfortable and the fabric is thick with stretch. I wore it to work but it was a bit large.

Easy and Fun
Very comfortable, stretchy fabric. I ordered the M although I usually would go S, but knowing it was new (it arrived with tags) I figured it would not be stretched out. Glad I did, it fit fine. The white lining underneath shows a bit at the shoulders and hem, a function of the stretchiness. Might not be visible in a smaller size.

Cute and Comfortable
Nice dress which is appropriate for office or cocktails. I enjoy asymmetrical looks that are a little different and this fits the bill. I ordered a 6 after reading a couple of reviews, but the 4 may have fit better. Since the dress is swingy it was still fine. Only negative is the point of the longest part of the fabric in front was curling up, likely due to cleaning.

Dress is easy and comfortable to wear. I wore it to a birthday dinner at a fine restaurant in Palm Springs and felt classy and appropriate. Its not a stunner, but a nice quality dress. I also wore it to the office with a long jacket and out to dinner with girlfriends and enjoyed it.

Beautiful but unforgiving
The dress arrived less than an hour before I left for the airport. it took longer than normal to receive as I ordered it on Monday morning but did not receive it until Thursday around noon. Although I was able to zip it, the fabric has no give whatsoever, and it was tight from the waist up. Waist down, no problem. I would definitely size up knowing there is no "wiggle room" for this dress. Although I could stand in it, sitting and/or dancing would not have been comfortable. My husband loved it but comfort comes first.

Cute dress, too small to wear
I could zip this up, but it was too tight through the bodice. I am not full-chested so I was surprised that it was too small through the chest, although the waist was fine. Not sure if due to cleaning. Returned unworn.

I needed a 40R and got a 42L. Traded it for the 40R and WOW. I want to buy it, will definitely rent again. I wore it twice after my husband begged me to wear it again, out to a formal dinner. Definite Wow factor and so comfortable. Got tons of compliments.
