Runs large in the waist
Drawstring did some real work, because I kept wearing these anyway. So easy to style and look effortlessly cool.

So sheer!
You definitely need a slip, this dress is completely see-through. Was hoping it'd be more fuss-free.

Not sure where to wear
This dress is too dressy for most everyday occasions and too casual in the material for cocktail or events. Also the top, as many mentioned, squishes your girls so they have that regency era corset effect (which is a lot of look in most situations).

Really heavy! And runs big.
This dress was huge on top, with big arm holes. Also it must weigh 15 pounds!

Size down
Listened to the reviews that said these stretch out, and I'm glad I did. After a few minutes where they felt tight they loosened up and looked really cute.

Really oversized
Trendy and fun if you style it right, but it's very big on the shoulders and arms.

So flattering, but scratchy
Wore this so much - it's super versatile. But you need a long tee underneath, as it's really itchy.

Unexpected material
These photograph like flannel, but they're a synthetic material that feels cheaper and lighter than it looks.

Runs large, but length short
Quality and softness are big pluses, but the waistband is huge. Tough to find the right size and length.

So many compliments
This color is gorgeous. Fabric is a little itchy so you need to wear a long sleeve tee underneath.

Stretches with wear
These are great, super comfy and stylish. But they stretch a lot with wear, so you want them a little tight when you first put them on. I should have sized down.

Oversized and still small?
This was weirdly short and the sleeves were a hair short, despite the overall feel being oversized

Buttons don't stay closed, so beware if you're not wearing a cami.

This dress is adorable. It’s short, but the way the flowy skirt lays is so flattering.

Perfect event dress
Fun, and surprisingly comfortable. Wore it to a work event that was cocktail attire, and appreciated that it wasn't too revealing while still being flattering. .

Unflattering
This and the matching top are soooo unflattering. The color/pattern is adorable, but the fabric adds so much width to your frame.

A workhorse, rented many times
This sweater isn't groundbreaking but it's just right. Every time I've rented it I've worn it over and over in so many situations.

Tempted to buy
I loved loved loved this top. Super modern and different, while incredibly easy and comfy. You do have to wear something underneath because of the arm holes but that’s the look - I paired with a light turtleneck some leggings on bottom and got so many compliments.

So pretty
I will rent this again, got so many compliments. One thing, the dress I received had a couple of snags in the delicate fabric of the sleeves but not noticeable to anyone but me.

Unique layer
I loved this as a unique alternative to a blazer at work (I work at a creative agency). It's also a fun layer for almost-fall, when you're ready for jackets but it's still pretty sweaty out there.

Hangs weird
I tried this dress on several mornings and ended up returning without wearing. It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. The entire dress is held closed with two teeny buttons -- one on the inside of the wrap, and one in the bust area. Literally if either one comes undone you will be naked. But beyond that, it just didn't look great on me: big in the waist and I couldn't get the folds of the front to lay right. Oh well.

So unflattering
The thick fabric of the pockets and the way they lay added really unflattering width to my hips. That plus the boxy frame of the top just made it unwearable. It's a shame, because the fabric is super soft and comfy.

Easy breezy beautiful
I packed this for a week at the beach and wore it so many times. It's really airy, and the form fitting top stopped right at my waist making it really flattering. I didn't wear a bra with it, because the stretch of the top is actually pretty supportive. If my life was a little more like my vacations I'd have never sent this back.

Strange fit, heavy fabric
I think this dress was made for Barbie. It is very small in the waist/hips, but huge in the bust and I'm a 34D. Arm holes are huge too, so no way to size up to make the rest fit. It's also a sweater dress, which I didn't realize since the pattern is so summery. Not going to work in NYC heat. Disappointing, I really wanted this fun summer look to work.

So not flattering. Top fit fine but the waist and belly were super tight. Not a good look.

Perfect job interview dress
I felt pulled together and stylish with very little effort required. The fabric of this dress is beautiful. I found it worked best flowy rather than belted.

Aaaaalmost perfect
Love love love the design and color and fabric of this dress. It's fun and unique, and I got so many compliments. It would be one of my favorite dresses ever if only the straps weren't so long. It wasn't as noticeable on me as some of the other photos shared here but I still found myself fidgeting with them all day. It's a shame because I'd probably purchase otherwise.

This dress is just a bit extra.
The puff sleeves and the ruffle neckline were more exaggerated than I was expecting, giving this a more formal feel than I had use for. I wanted to wear it to work but it just felt too dressy for every day. Sent it back.

Poor construction
I couldn't lift my arms up at all in this dress. It's like the sleeves are designed to keep your arms at your sides at all times. So strange!It's a shame, because the material, color, and style has the potential to be really cute.

I wish I could wear this everywhere.
This dress is flawless. It's gorgeous and unique, well made, and incredibly easy to wear. I loved that it was special enough to wear to a "black tie optional" formal event but not fussy at all.

So comfortable, so cute
Wore this twice in a weekend I loved it so much. Super cute and surprisingly flattering cut. Only critique was the knitted straps kept coming loose - had to keep tying bigger knots. But the top stays up even when they come loose (no surprise boobs, thankfully)

This dress is super fun and perfect for a vacation dinner out. Fit like a glove, and with the little almost-cups I didn't need a bra.
