Didn't work for me
This is a nice dress made of lovely fabric but it didn't work for me. Three issues: (1) As others have mentioned, the button placket gaped some between buttons. (2) I don't like that there are belt loops but the dress doesn't come with a belt. (3) The description calls the dress off white, but it has a distinctly yellow undertone that doesn't work with my cool complexion. I didn't look at the reviews before renting it, so maybe I would have noticed if I had. The yellow tone didn't come through in the photos of the model. Glad it worked for so many others, but it's a pass for me.

A great dress for warm fall weather
This is a beautiful dress. It’s very feminine and has an interesting, flowing cut. The only issue for me is that the neckline was lower than I realized when I initially tried it on. I had to keep tugging it up during the evening but, fortunately, I wore a black bra so the slippage wasn’t too obvious. 😊

Lightweight and lovely
This is a great dress that can go casual or dressy. It’s super lightweight and very forgiving with all of its midsection ruching. It’s very long, so petites may want to find another choice.

Beautiful color for fall, great fit and easy wearing. The neck is a deep v-cut, so be aware of that.

Cute, but not really for me
Renewed this fire s fall mountain vacation. It's warm and soft, but cut too short for me. I should have known better, since it's only 23.5" long. But it's really cute otherwise!

Cute and comfy
A great medium weight sweater for transitional weather, especially if you love hounds! 😊 It runs short in the body for tall folks, but the sleeve length is good. It's kind of crumpled in this photo after having been on a plane all day. Definitely when renting if this is your style.

Beautiful retro vibe
I love this dress! It's not as forgiving as I wish it would be in the midsection, but it's just got so much retro class with the dropped waist and long length. I wore it to a weekend brunch, and got compliments galore! I'm hanging on to it for a little while to see if I can lose a little of my midsection weight and wear it again. This one is not for the petites, though!

Gorgeous in every way except on me!
This is a gorgeous and elegant dress. I rented it because I thought it was deep burgundy from the photos, but it is actually a very dark coffee brown. The color is deep and rich.. The lace overlay on the bodice and the lace sleeves are beautiful, accented with the satin collar, long cuffs, and belt. Unfortunately, the waist seam/belt of the dress hit me about 2 inches above my natural waist, and that does not work for a shirtwaisy style dress like this. If you are not long waisted like I am, and you need a very classy dress, give this one a try.

Frumpy
This dress looked much cuter online. It wasn't nearly as nice in person and certainly wasn't flattering on me! Part of the problem was that it was too short waisted.

Runs short and shoulders were bothersome
This is such a cute top, but it made me crazy to wear it. I to rented it for a trip to Sweden, and it was perfect for the summer weather there, but it was too short in the body for me and the cut off the shoulders/neckline was not comfortable. Glad I got to use it for one day, though.

Top 10 favorite!
This is a terrible photo of this dress, but it's a winner! I kept it fall through spring and wore it so many times. It's so classy. The texture of the knit adds so much interest and the drape of the dress is beautiful. I'd absolutely buy it if ur weren't so pricey, but will be keeping an eye on the price to come down. Probably not a great dress for shorter women, but it's a real winner for us tall folks.

Cute, but save it for fall
This is an easy-to-wear dress that's fun in principle. It's not a good choice for hot weather, though, because the sweatshirt-like top is just too heavy. I found it to be a little short-waisted for my height.

Love the fabric, not the fit
I rented this for a dinner party on the Portugal coast; it looked like the perfect dress for that occasion. The fabric (both the print and the feel) is absolutely fabulous. The bias cut didn't do much for me, though. I'd like to try this dress again if I get rid of a few pounds!

Fun, but not for me!
I rented this for a trip to Portugal, thinking it would be fun for a day outing. The wide border hit me in just the wrong spot and it was not flattering at all. I probably should have used it as an overshirt instead of buttoning or all the way. The print is so fun. I may rent it again and style it differently.
