Nice material, slimming, very short
I liked this but it was slightly to tight in the hips for me and the faux wrap did not cover enough when I walked or sat down-it was a leg show. As with most "wrap" skirts this works better for those who are shaped like a matchstick. Having said that, I am sure it would get compliments.

Nice causal dress, super basic, runs large
I did not wear this because it was just too large for my frame and too long for my height. However, if you are self conscious about your shape or just want something very loose, casual and comfy for a hot day, this would work. Again, it is very casual/house dress. I don't think it could be dressed up.

Seriously Floral and Flattering
I have a larger bust, no torso to speak of, and am 5’ and this fit amazingly. It is navy not black, but it made the floral a bit less severe. Worn to dinner with my BFF- yes, you can eat in this. The waist is elastic and the pockets can take a cellphone, key, glasses and a wallet. Top notch. The material is good for a cooler day- 60 degrees max. Sleeves can be worn as 3/4 or 1/2- also elastic at the cuff.

High end minimalism
Drew compliments from a friend in the fashion industry. You can see the quality in the construction and material. Yes, the sleeves are a bit long but not floppy. I love a textured t-neck sweater and this fit the bill. Worn to an off-bway show with smart jeans and boots. Easy to style.

Calling All Short Torso
Super cropped (it hit me at the waistband and I have no idea how the model tucked it into anything), luxe, thick, and warm. Serious 70s vibe. Compliments on the color. Good for busty folks if you can hoist them up, great chance for some conservative/sexy cleavage. I would keep it if the weather weren't warming up.

Looks good but needs a buddy to zip it up
Looks great, but the material was not as formal as I needed. I could not zip this up all the way without help which means I could not take it off without help-so that's a no-go for me. I was trapped. Worked with a large bust-bust was a bit on the sexy side. If you like VB jackets and are ok with needing dressing assistance, this has the same fit.

Very boxy shape, large weird arms
This was not a good look for a short curvy figure. The arms were very large from pit to cuff so much so that the jacket was not cozy. Looks less expensive that in photos, definitely casual. I sent it back right away since I am not into a stay-puft look.

Worked for large bust, short torso
The top is very thin and I had to use a camisole underneath but it kept its drape. It is also very cropped and I say this as a person with a short torso. I would buy this. I don't think you could dress it up outside of a boho look but I rocked it with jeans and clogs.

Dynasty!
All about that 80s flair? Going to a casino? Just want to sit around and drink martinis? This dress. Can be worn as a top or a mini dress, V-neck is good for front or back. I'm 5 foot nothing and it was brief in length. Great for a curvy busty gal. The husband was all about it. This is a heavy garment, so not great for warmer climes. The sleeves make it decadent.

I loved the boho flow of this dress. I felt as if I could have worn a flower in my hair.
Okay, so I am 5 foot zero with DDs and an hourglass figure and a little extra in the stomach and I work out. Generally these flowy boho styles seem only to work for twiggy plank instagram types who can rock a burlap sack at a festival-- not so here. The length was great even with sandals and the cut still gave me a figure but masked areas of which I am not so fond- hello stomach. My husband loved it even though it was full coverage because of the sheerness of the fabric. It is also great if you have arms bigger than a single piece of linguini. I'd buy this if I could and I will rent it again. I got both the M and the L and both worked- it depends on how loose you want the fit.

Absolutely Fabulous.
I wore this in Vegas- heads turned. The material is high quality and the design is high fashion. It is extremely comfortable- and I am a jeans and button down person. It has deep pockets! It is quite short so either be okay with that or wear tights. I am already looking to rent this again. I probably could have worn the next size down, but I like a roomy fit. Great for all figures.

Fashion forward.
I have athletic arms and a wide back and this fit perfectly. It got looks everywhere I went in Vegas. I would get this again- works with jeans, but can be dressed up. Wonderful tailoring. Quality material.

I felt fab.
This is the perfect dress if you feel self conscious about your mid section or have larger thighs. The waist makes you look trim and the cut is flattering and it has the ease of wear of a shirt dress. I have a large bust and this complemented the girls without making them the main attraction. The fullness of the skirt nicely framed my chubby little legs. Bra-friendly. I would buy this dress. I didn't want to take it off. Dress it up or down. 2 Short crew, this is the LBD you have been searching for.

The neckline stole the show.
The dress was a little longer than I would have wanted, but I'm 5ft. So I glammed it up with some hot heels et voila. Great fit in the arms and bust (usually a problem for me). Great material with just enough hold to smooth things out and perfect for winter/fall. Also it looked brand new due to the material. I was sad that I had to return it and I will definitely consider Halston rentals in the futures. This dress is great for a woman with an hour glass or athletic figure because the cut accentuates the positives. If you are a twig or flat chested, I would not say this is not for you. Only caveat--wear a smooth or t-shirt bra to hide the lines. Also, both the 6 and 8 fit, but since the even was quasi- conservative I went for the 8.

Husband was floored. I felt like a living doll and I never feel cute...
Accentuates small waist. Good for a large bust and flattering for athletic arms/legs. Tight fit that did not ride up and-wait for it- pockets! Even though it was short I felt comfortable with this on because it did not ride up. I wore it with sandals for an semi-casual dinner date. I would rent it again. Material is somewhat thick but the material is what makes this piece stand out.

A pretty dress. Great for a large bust and petites.
This was my back up dress and I ordered a size 10. An 8 probably would have worked. It is a gorgeous dress. he material is a little heavy but it holds a nice shape and looks expensive.There is definitely room for a large bust and you can wear a normal bra with this one. I would definitely rent the 8 next time- maybe even a 6 because I have a small (by comparison to my hips and bust) waist. I am 5 ft almost 1 and this length was good for me. If you are tall be ready to show some leg...

I have a large rack and athletic arms that just would not fit into this dress.
I loved the way this dress looked. The length was good for a petite, but my 34DD girls just would not fit in. The arms are also very fitted with little give. The waist and lower part were fine. The A great look for a less buxom lady with fewer muscles.

Lightweight signature sparkler.
Great piece to interrupt a plain LBD. Will not snag material and lays flat on chest. Lots of compliments. Only caveat--I should have also rent a pair of earrings to match because the colors are very specific in this piece.

The Michelle Obama of LBDs; flattering, elegant, and shows your best assets beautifully.
A little tight around the arm holes for those of us with developed arms, but not uncomfortable. The bust looks amazing; I wore a minimizer, but you could wear any bra and it will not show-any bra. The skirt has a great swing to it and shows well on the dance floor. The skirt lining is a nice weight for colder climes. The top emphasizes a trim waist and elongates the figure if you are hourglass or pear. No spanx needed, just stand tall. The material makes this dress standout, the pattern is subtle and the cut gives it a more high end look than the usual LBD. I wish I owned this dress and that it came in more colors. I will rent this again. Great for petites if you can commit to 3"+ heels.
