Beautiful LBD
Beautiful and well made LBD. It is probably more appropriate for a formal affair (wedding?) than for work as it runs a bit low cut.

Trendy LBD
I loved everything about this dress but the slit is just too high. It basically runs up your entire leg when sitting down. It is difficult to get away wearing it at work (I still did, but was constantly making sure I wasn't showing too much leg, even with black tights on).

Trendy take on the classic turtleneck
Beautiful and well made turtleneck. Thicker material so it is great for fall and winter. Came new with tags. The shoulder details are prominent so if you aren't comfortable standing out, I don't suggest this. Otherwise, great trendy top for the office, drinks or date night. Fits true to size and is form fitting.

Trendy but elegant - fun party dress.
I initially thought I could wear this to work, but it turned out to be a tad too short. I instead wore to a friend's birthday party. The bell sleeves make the otherwise classic form fitting dress, a bit more fun/trendy. Color is the perfect red for the holidays as well. Fabric is thick material and comfortable, but hugs you in the right places and has a little bit of stretch.

Gorgeous dress! Tons of compliments and fun to wear.
I loved this dress and it was perfect for a June wedding. The colors are beautiful and the material is not too thick and is excellent quality. The pockets are a nice bonus too. It does run long so I would recommend tall heels and avoid the dress if you are short. I am 5'5" and it hit me only a few inches above the ankle.

Simple and day to day white dress
This is a very simple and casual white dress. It's a thin and loose fabric so sizing shouldn't be too much of an issue. It's perfect for a brunch or the beach on a summer weekend.

Amazing spring dress! Perfect hybrid of classic and trendy.
I love this dress! I wore it for my law school graduation and received many compliments. It's simple and elegant, yet the asymmetrical line adds a bit of flare to it. It is very well tailored and the fabric is somewhat flowy in the front, so there is some wiggle room around sizing.

Pretty and versatile spring/summer everyday dress!
This is the perfect dress for an evening out, a family event, or a brunch with friends. It is extremely versatile and appropriate for a wide range of events. It has the feel of a shift dress so it feels loose in all the right places. Marni dresses are well made and excellent quality - I have never had a bad experience.

Simple and classic little black dress
This is a great work dress. It is a very comfortable material, so you do not feel stuffy at all. It hits above the knee. There is no zipper, so just be careful when putting it on that you do not get any deodorant stains. One side note - and I am not sure if the dress is to blame or not - but I think the dye from the material may have stained my fingernails. I honestly do not know what else it could have been!

Classic, tailored, and elegant dress
This is a great dress for work! It runs past the knees, so if you work in a more formal setting, it is very appropriate. The material is soft, slightly thick, and stretchy - so it is more appropriate fall through spring. The dress also works well with a suit jacket. It does hug your body a bit more, but not in a revealing or inappropriate way. I would absolutely rent this again.

Gorgeous show stopping dress
I loved wearing this dress. The red stands out and is very elegant / regal. The material is thick and very comfortable to wear. You will likely need someone to zipper you in since the zipper is tricky, but it otherwise will fit fine (maybe even a bit snug in the chest). I received a ton of compliments.

Gorgeous black tie gown!
I absolutely loved this dress and received compliments all night long. It truly stands out and the colors are gorgeous. The open back is fierce and adds a little extra oomph to what is a more classic and demure dress. It photographs extremely well. The pockets are great. The zipper is tricky so you may need someone to help you out.

Perfect beach / island vacation dress!
I loved this dress so much - I never wanted to take it off. The print is so much fun and perfect for a beach getaway. It was super comfortable and the fabric is so light weight and soft. Could not recommend this dress more!

A fun take on the traditional jumpsuit
I really enjoyed wearing this jumpsuit. It definitely stands out and is very unique and is appropriate for a more formal/fancier social occasion. I would have been more comfortable in a size up though. The zipper on this was INCREDIBLY difficult and an inconvenience. I needed a friend to zipper me every time I had to use the bathroom and the zipper actually wouldn't come down at one point.

Unique dress but runs big
This is a very unique dress. I think it would be more flattering on a taller person because the extra fabric runs long. I probably would have been more comfortable in a small size.

Classic, well tailored, and cute
This is a great every day dress and would be appropriate for work, a date, or an evening out. The lace fabric is beautiful and the collar adds a nice classic touch. I received many compliments. There isn't any stretch in this dress so I would advise against sizing down.

Classic, beautiful and comfortable dress
The floral print is beautiful and garnered many compliments. It is a very comfortable dress to wear - the fabric is of a thicker variety and pretty stretchy. I would probably have preferred wearing a size 2 though. It hits around the knee and is perfect for a more formal special occasion (I wore it to my grad school graduation ceremony).

Fun, comfortable, and stands out
When I first pulled this out of the bag, I thought no way is it going to fit - it looks very small on the hanger. The fabric is surprisingly stretchy though and it fit like a glove. The black sequins add a bit of flare to the otherwise classic and elegant dress. The bottom half does tend to flare out a bit more than I probably preferred but it is still flattering. A very comfortable dress to wear and the pockets are a plus.

Stylish and classic shift dress
I made sure to read the Marni sizing on their website before ordering. Because it is a shift dress, there is some room, so I would suggest sizing down in order for it to be most flattering. The colors are great and it is an exceptionally well made and beautiful dress. Perfect for a more casual work environment or a weekend brunch dress.

Wow! Knockout dress. Unique but elegant.
This wound up being my back up dress but I liked it so much I opted to wear it instead of the original dress. This is a very sexy yet elegant dress. I received a ton of compliments all night. It definitely stands out as being a very unique dress. It's form fitting so I definitely advise being comfortable wearing such a dress. The material is very soft so there is some wiggle room there too. Overall, I could not recommend this dress more for a formal occasion.

Gorgeous dress, amazing quality, show stopper!
First, this dress is incredibly well made. It is a bit of a thicker/quilted fabric, which is great for any outdoor party. The print is very beautiful and the ruffled sleeves add a bit of flair to the more traditional dress. I would highly recommend for any cocktail party or spring/summer event. I received a ton of compliments.

Pretty dress, but not very flattering.
I was excited for this dress, but then pretty disappointed when I put it on. First, the fabric is pretty thin and doesn't seem as high quality as one would expect from DVF. Second, it runs long, so unless you are tall and have long legs, it will hit at the knee, which is a little bit of an awkward fit. I think this dress would be more appropriate for someone a bit older who is looking for a conservative dress vs. a fun dress to wear on the weekend.

The color on this dress really pops. The back is show stopping. It is short but not too bad. Wore this on a yacht vacation and for my birthday.

It does run slightly big so if you are in between sizes, size down. I found this to be a very fun and trendy jumpsuit to wear out for a night with friends and to a school event.

Beautiful dress but HUGE
I didn't wind up wearing this because it ran so large and was extremely unflattering. I could have gone down two sizes in order for this to look and fit better. It was way too boxy on me. However, the fabric is really nice quality and the print is very nice. I was bummed I couldn't wear this!
