Showstopper dress
This dress is very unique, and when I walked into the party, I immediately received compliments all around. Because this dress is made of lace overlaid over a nude sheath, the initial effect is fairly sexy. I think this is better for a non-work party or event. And amazing dress all around!

Not flattering on me
I wanted to wear this dress to work, but it fit in a way that made me look six months pregnant! I was afraid to wear it because I knew that people would wonder. I ended up just sending it back unworn.

Five stars!! (The mobile app only allows me to give four stars)
This is a gorgeous flowing skirt in an elegant but interesting pattern. I wore it with a long sleeved navy silk blouse tucked in. The skirt is snug fitting, so size up if you are between sizes.

Great work piece
This slim fitting shift was perfect for my conservative workplace. I wore it with a black jacket, and I do not think the Navy clashed with the black. It is a very dark navy that almost appears black. The fit was flattering, and the thick fabric hides bumps. Love it!

5 stars!!! (System won't let me enter 5 stars)
I loved this dress!! Very flattering fit. Conservative enough for my office but also very stylish. The fabric is thick and forgiving. I'll be renting this again!

Good for work (with cami)
I wore this under a black blazer, and it was a nice choice for work. It was too low-cut for my conservative office, so I wore a black came underneath. The fit was fairly boxy, so I tucked it in. Would be kind of unflattering untucked I think.

Great jacket for work
This jacket is conservative enough for my office but still flashy enough to not be boring. It's a heavy jacket, so best for winter. I'd rent this again.

Nice skirt for work
This skirt fit well and was a nice choice for my conservative office. I wore it with a tucked in blouse for a simple look. The skirt has slits on the side as well as a tie and pockets with contrast stitching. There's a lot going on design-wise, so this is probably best with a simple top. Only 4 stars because I didn't love the color...to military-looking or something.

Great dress but not for work
I loved the smooth fit of this dress. The thick fabric was forgiving and the pattern was striking. It was such a nice dress for a nice dinner out on Saturday night. I rented this for work, though, and it was too sparkly for the office. Not only is the silver/gray part sparkly, but the entire back is made of sparkly black fabric.

Sophisticated work dress
I am in between sizes (4-6), and the 6 fit me perfectly, so I would say this sheath runs a half-size small. I wore this to work, and it was perfect with a black blazer and a cami underneath. There is a bit of color, but the thickness of the fabric along with the length made this a perfect outfit for my conservative workplace. For date night, I plan to lose the cami and blazer for a more dressed up look.

Odd style but great fit
The white collar is a bit Victorian, but this dress fits really well and is flattering other than the collar. I ended up disguising the collar with chunky jewelry one day and a scarf another day, so I got a lot of use out of this.

Cute jacket
This was cute for work. I wore it with a simple shell and black pants, and it looked great. The asymmetrical zipper was an interesting design element. I ended up not zipping up the jacket for most of the day because it looked a bit frumpy and boxy when zipped.
Pattyn Jacket

flattering and well-made
This was a beautiful dress that fit true to size or a bit small. I'm between sizes (4 to 6), and the 6 fit me perfectly. This dress is classy, and the color is beautiful, but the style is conservative and older. Perfect for me (40s) but maybe a bit too tame/mature for some. I liked the length (hit just above the knee for me).
