Sexy dress
I wore this dress to work. I am large chested, so it was tight up top, but rest of dress was very flattering and sexy.

Perfect dress for cold weather work days
I loved this dress. As others have noted, it needs a belt to give it shape. But it’s warm, has gorgeous colors/pattern and is comfortable, too! I am between size 16/18 and ordered the XL. Sleeves and hem were a little long, but not a big issue. Dress fit just right! Sophisticated work look, but feels like wearing pajamas!

Cute dress but not for short, curvy girls
I wanted to live this, but it was just all wrong. Sleeves were waaaay too long! Couldn’t wear it. If you are short and/or curvy, you will have problems with this dress.

Easy outfit for work
Dress is stretchy and comfortable for work. The fabric is lined and works well in warm weather. The print and color (navy blue and tan) are great and it is modest, so no issues wearing it in an office. The ruching around the middle hides a multitude of sins. I wore with a navy blazer and it worked well. A good basic for work, I would rent again.

Wanted to wear for business casual
This shirt is odd. It has a weird construction that makes the back poof and pucker (and not in a good way). I liked the front, somewhat, but the tie is also strange. I did not end up wearing

Too small
I am an hourglass and wear a size 14 in almost every dress. However, I couldn't zip this up to wear it. It runs small, especially in the ribcage and chest.

Rocker work vibe
I liked this jacket very much for an "out of the box" work outfit. I wore it with black leggings and some kitten heel pointy toe pumps and got lots of compliments. The jacket material was velvety and soft. I have a large chest, so when I buttoned this blazer, it pulled a bit but pretty much found it TTS. I am in between a size 10 and 12 and I wore the large. I opted to keep blazer unbuttoned. The pattern rocked and made this outfit (and me) stand out.

Perfect summer pant!
These pants are light and breezy and fit true to size. They are comfortable and can be worn with tennis shoes (for walking or sightseeing), or with wedges for a slightly dressier look. They button up the side, which is a great finishing detail. I was afraid they might gape open when I sat down in them, but I had no issues. I wore them with a white tank top during the day and a cotton sweater for a casual outdoor dinner. I LOVED them and you will, too!

Beautiful, Comfortable Dress with Spring POP!
Rented this for work, and was wowed. Material is thin (for warmer weather), stretchy and comfortable. It's fairly TTS, just a tad roomy. Neckline and hem are work-appropriate lengths, and pattern really pops in a good way! Felt fresh and flirty and ready for spring in this dress! I will rent again

Polished work look!
This dress fit TTS and was perfect for work! The fabric is warm, so great for colder temperatures. Sleeves, neckline and ruching were all really flattering for my hourglass shape. Neckline was perfect for a statement necklace, but I did have to pin the neckline so it was work appropriate (I have a large bust). Received many compliments and will absolutely rent again!

Fun and sophisticated!
Rented this dress for a white party, and it was perfect. The shoulder cut-outs and ruffles give this dress some fun flair, and the higher neckline and not-too-short length give it sophistication. Dress fits TTS, but because I have a large chest and a bit of a tummy, dress was a bit snug, but not uncomfortable. Fabric is lightweight, with very little give and the dress is lined. I wore with regular bra and some Spanx and I was able to dance the night away in this .

Meh. Not very flattering.
The cut of this sweater/jacket is boxy and when buttoned, not flattering for an hourglass shape. I wore it open and it was just ok. Fabric is very thick and I was hot wearing it inside the office in the winter. Overall, it was mediocre. I wanted to love this, but jut couldn't

This dress will make you feel like a She Boss Warrior!
This dress is amazing! I took a chance renting, as there were no reviews yet. I wore it for work and felt like Braveheart all day! Dress is TTS. I have a large chest and dress fit nicely across the chest and even had room in the mid-section. Fabric is lighter weight than I expected (I thought it would be thicker kilt-like material), but dress is lined, so warm enough for fall. Cape detail and plaid pattern make this dress worth renting if you want to stand out in the best way possible!

Nice work dress, but runs large
I loved the color and style of this dress. It is nice to wear to work, neckline is modest as is length for a professional office environment. Color is unique and stands out. Only issue was that the fit runs a little on the large size. I am big chested, and it still was loose-fitting on top, as well as at the hips. Since the fabric has some stretch to it, I would advise to size down one size for a more fitted silhouette.

Very body conscience dress that does not hide flaws.
I loved the look of this dress and was excited to rent it for work. I had hoped to rock the "sexy secretary" vibe, but fell short in this dress. The dress is made of a medium to light weight knit fabric and has some give. However, the dress is not structured enough to camouflage your flaws. In my case, my tummy seemed very prominent, even with Spanx on underneath. It could also be that the pattern drew attention to any lumps or bumps. This dress comes in a solid color that might do a better job of hiding flaws. Dress was good, but not great.

Flattering & Versatile dress!
This dress is very flattering on and comfortable to wear. I wore it for work with nude/snakeskin pumps and received many compliments. The fabric is lightweight - good for those hot summer days - and has give. I wore the L, which was slightly large on me, but used the waist tie to cinch the waist in a bit. I have a large chest, but this was more than comfortable up top and you can wear it with a regular bra. The style and pattern are fun, yet covered up enough and long enough to wear in a professional office. LOVED this dress and it is very versatile -can dress it down with flats for a brunch or tennis shoes for sight seeing. I want to buy it!

This dress is polished and professional. I wore it with red heels and got many compliments at work.
This dress is GOREGOUS. Fabric is high quality - breathable, but thick enough to be structured. It is well made and hugs every curve, making your silhouette pop, even though the neckline and length are still "conservative" enough for work. I paired with a red shoes and the whole look was awesome - I turned heads and received many compliments.

Dress with a nice shape
This was a “back up dress” that I ended up using on a work trip, with a blazer over. The fit of this dress is nice (especially if you have an hourglass figure). The v-neck is flattering for those with larger chests, and the fabric is stretchy and hugs curves. The fabric is heavier, though, so not sure I would recommenced it for really hot weather.

Throwback to the ‘80s.
I love a good animal print, and the jacket was well-made, just not a great fit. It was “relaxed” and so felt very 1980s (think oversized jacket with a large shoulder pad). Because it wasn’t form fitting, my body got lost in it.

Perfectly polished look for work!
This dress is elegant and spot on for work. I took it on a work trip and got many compliments. The neckline is modest, but the cut-outs up top add interest. Length was work-appropriate as well. I looked elegant and professional.
