Silas Knit Midi Dress
SIMKHAI

Bust: 34B
Best business maternity dress
This has been my go-to maternity work dress for formal business meetings. My normal Of Mercer size 6 has worked in the maternity style from mid-20 weeks through today at 37 weeks. The length is great even for tall girls and the fabric is thick and doesn't show underwear lines, which is a huge pet peeve of mine in many soft Jersey maternity styles. So flattering and looks great on it's own or paired with a blazer.

Cool and different work dress
This was a great rental for work that was appropriate for a traditional business environment but also had an interesting edgy flair in its construction and design. I loved that it had the appearance of a wrap dress without the inconvenience of a skirt that could blow open since shorter part of the skirt connects all the way across. The fit was relatively true to size but ran ever so slightly large, which I found to match the aesthetic of the design. I'd call it alty appropriate corporate. Loved it!
Navy Barrow Wrap Dress

Such a flattering dress
Perfect and flattering dress for work. I love the cobalt color and the knot detail is beautiful and makes your waistline look incredible, whether or not you have a flat stomach. Fit is true to size - the 6 fit perfectly. The length is ideal for an office environment (and for tall girls). Right above the knee and won't ride up when you sit down. Highly recommend!
Knotted Ellis Dress

A standout
Loved wearing this incredibly unique dress. I am a very standard size 6 but opted for the 8 in order to get some additional length. In the 8 the bodice fit more like a mod shift, which worked perfectly with the shorter length of the dress. The shoulders fit well and I did not feel like I was tugging them up or down at all throughout the night.

Fun option
Fun jumpsuit option that gives off a different vibe than your typical party dress. The 6L fit well, but I couldn't wear particularly tall heels given the length on me at 5"10". The bodice is very fitted and structured but the pants are looser. I would have preferred them to be more fitted in the rear and legs, but they are clearly designed to be a very wide leg style.

Funky and fun
Loving these for a casual summer workwear option. The 6 fits well with enough room to feel comfortably appropriate around the office. For non work events my guess is the 4 would fit as well and have a tigher fit, especially in the back.

Would have worn; broken zipper
As described in other reviews, the dress is tight in the midsection but I still would have worn my normal size (a 6) had the zipper not been broken on arrival. RTR fixed the problem and sent me an alternative dress quickly.

Great dress!
Fabulous dress, fits true to size. I would recommend sizing up for larger hips as it does not have a ton of room in the skirt. Love the built in cups, which allowed me to wear the dress without a Nubra.

Jason Wu Collection
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6

Love!
Loved this peachy lace dress! I am a true 6 and the M fit like a glove (albeit a fitted one given the tight cut of the dress). It's important to note that the mesh stripes in the middle of /under the bust and on the back are sheer, while the mesh stripes below the waist line are lined with a nude fabric. This means that you can't wear any type of bra without it showing in multiple places. I wore stick-on Nu Bra cups unclipped in the center and slightly tilted to match the angle of the fabric over the bust. Ended up working better than expected.

Usual Size: 6

Fun!
Fun jumpsuit that works for lots of different occasions! I'm usually a 6 but only the 4L was available and I managed to make it work. The 4L felt a little short in the torso, so I was pulling it down throughout the night, but the waist and hips were not overly small. The 6L probably would've been slightly more comfortable. The long length worked with flats but was more ankle length with heels.

Most flattering work dress EVER
Loved loved this dress. I wore my regular size, a 6. The fit is on the tight side, but the stretch and thickness of the material make it incredibly flattering and provide an overall body smoothing effect. I would imagine curvier body types would be more comfortable sizing up, as the bust and hips are relatively snug. The navy panels at the waist create a gorgeous silhouette. It is definitely a go-to power meeting outfit for me, alone or paired with a navy blazer. Highly recommend!

Great for work and play!
Love this dress! Beautiful color and fabric, and extremely flattering fit that was true to size. I found the skirt to be slightly longer than it appeared on the model, even though I am 5'10". I wore it to Easter brunch with bare legs and heels and then to work the following week with tights and a blazer -- it felt perfect and appropriate for both!

Easy casual dress for work or play
Great, easy dress. It does have a loose fit in the waist, as described by other reviewers. I went a size down to wear out to dinner for a friend's birthday. I felt comfortable with the length for a social event. At my height (5'10"), I would say it is too short to wear at work, but would be appropriate for most people who are a couple inches shorter.

Great stretchy jumpsuit
I was a little surprised to see this jumpsuit had no zipper and requires you to shimmy into it from the top. But once in, the stretchy fit was great and very comfortable. The long length worked well for me, even with heels. The bottoms were a little more flared than I am used to, but I thought it was a good look overall!

Great, not too sexy
I loved this jumpsuit, even after struggling to get into it (it requires some serious ducking and twisting to get your head in, but I managed even at 5ft 10)! The pants are fitted but because of the blousey loose cut of the top it never felt overly sexy. The zipper was quite finicky over the seam of the pants to top, but otherwise I loved it!

Great skirt, but ran large for me
I am a pretty true size 6, or size 28 in jeans, but this skirt was too big for me in size 28. It hung down around my hips rather that fitting snugly at the waist as I expected. I would recommend a size down. Otherwise, it was as expected and would be a great casual, 70ish vibe if properly fitted!

Interesting mixture of racy and demure
Very pretty dress. I found it to run every so slightly large on the top (for a small busted person). It was an interesting mixture of racy and demure with the leather top and midi length pleated skirt.

Fun/funky luau dress
This dress was fun to wear to a luau themed party, but also great for going out to non-luau-themed drinks afterwards. The Small was tight but not uncomfortable. I think the Small or Medium would have worked for me (normally a 6), depending on how tight I wanted the dress to fit.

Great dress (much better than on the model)
This was a great dress for a wedding. It was a perfect above the knee length (not nearly as long as pictured on the model). The blue is gorgeous and the back is both sporty and formal at the same time. There is no stretch in the fabric but I didn't find it too tight in the hips or loose in the waist. Highly recommend.

Lovely
Great dress that can be dressed up or down. I wore with large fancy earrings and heels to a black tie wedding, and fit right in with the boys in their tuxes. I did pin the slit a few inches lower down -- made it easier to sit in the dress without it falling open.

Fantastic fall wedding dress!
I was worried that this dress was going to be uber-tight, but the 42 fit perfectly with plenty of breathing and dancing room. If you are a true 6 and want more of a bandage dress fit, order the 40 and 42 instead of sizing up (the 44 was too baggy on me). Loved the spaghetti straps and racerback style, and the cut still allowed me to wear a strapless bra with no problems. Length hit me right below the knee as shown on the model.

Perfect to dress up or down
Great lightweight dress that would be easy to make formal, or to wear as a more casual maxi. Back/neck is halter rather than as depicted. I found the sizing to be fairly accurate. The waistband was snug but the 6L still fit perfectly and never made me uncomfortable. The dress touched the ground because I was wearing flats. I probably could have worn a low heel, but nothing higher than 2.5 inches (I'm 5'10").

Great fall/winter dress
I liked this dress and in the end am glad that only the medium was available, because there is no way the small would have fit, even though I am usually between a 4 and a 6. Even in the medium, this dress was very tight, and could be a little short in the front wrap section depending on how you were standing/sitting (for someone tall like me, at least). The dress was very flattering and versatile enough to be worn to lots of different types of ocassions.

Great easy dress!
Loved this dress. While the site recommended going up for a backup size, I found the 6L to be slightly large even though I am normally a 6, and I probably could have worn the 4L for a more fitted look (but my backup size was the 8L). The length was fine one me (I'm 5'10") in flats or smaller heels, but I could not have worn anything that was 3 inches or above, as it would have been too short on me. Loved the dress and it was comfortable and easy to wear (but be aware that you can't wear a normal bra because of the low back -- you either have to go without or wear a stick-on).

I wore this dress in a 4 to my engagement party, and loved the sophisticated cut and fabric. The material is fairly thick, so I would recommend for fall or winter events -- it is definitely not a summer-y dress.

Pretty
This dress ran smaller than I expected. Because of the stretchy ruching, you have to pull it pretty tightly to get it to zip. Once its on it creates a great hourglass shape, but in some photos I felt like the ruching made me look wider than I am in some spots. The bust was also a little tight on me.

Great daytime dress
I wore this to a college graduation and loved the slim fit. The lowcut top did gape a bit if I leaned to far forward, but otherwise it was a great dress. The skirt is definitely narrow, but if you like the fit on non-stretchy pencil skirts, you will like this dress.

Too big!
I had high hopes for this dress but the M was just too big for me (usually a size 6). It bagged at the waist and was also longer than I expected -- it went a little past the top of my kneecap. I did not end up wearing this.

Way better than in the photo!
This was my backup dress for an event, and I ended up wearing this dress instead of the blue Herve Leger dress I also rented. Incredibly flattering cut and draping -- the dress was on the tight-side in the waist, but because of that it gave my waist a corset-like effect and looked fantastic. Because I''m tall, it was a little short when sitting or doing a lot of dancing, but not a problem overall!
