Bulky but fab
Yes this dress is big. Yes its bulky. But OMG is it comfy and I think it looks awesome. I rented it for work, but I'm going to keep it for my weekend away. Recommended.

Beautiful dress
This is a beautiful dress - the shape, colour and fabric just works. It came new with tags on, so I felt super lucky. Looks just like it does in the photo. I would have bought it if I could!

Wore several times - funky
This is a cool dress, that looks awesome paired with black boots and tights. The fabric is quite thick and not very giving, so be careful with the sizing, but I lucked out - it fit perfectly. The red stars are really funky.

Versatile dress
This dress is extremely feminine, flattering and comfortable. I loved the long sleeves and the floaty fabric. It looks nice paired with tights and leather boots. I was tempted to keep and wore it several times, both at work and out for drinks.

Stylish and cute
I loved this dress. It was stylish, cute, and very flattering. I received lots of compliments and was tempted to buy it. There was a slight smell under the armpits (the wool is quite thick and so I think it's retained the smell after numerous rentals); but it wasn't too strong. I'm just very sensitive to it!

A comfortable and warm work dress.
This was great - just as described in the picture. Comfy, warm but also stylish. Would have bought it, except I hate dry cleaning!

Very comfortable
This is a comfortable dress that was perfect for every day wear or work. It's probably better suited for Spring or Autumn. I think as we get into November, it will be slightly too chilly unless you pair it with tights and a coat.

Slightly itchy but nice colour and flattering fit
The fit is flattering and it's a comfy work outfit, except for the fact the material got slightly itchy towards the end of the day. I wouldn't buy it, but it was a good one-off rental.

Super cute
This is a cute work outfit. I received lots of compliments and my colleague told me I looked like Twiggy wearing it. Nice with black boots.

Not sure about this one
It's very different and I received lots of compliments; however I found the skirt material very heavy. I felt like I was wearing a fancy dress witches costume. Also the popper does constantly come undone which is irritating. I'm glad I rented it to wear something a bit unusual but I wouldn't buy it

A very flexible dress
Could be worn to work or on a night out, depending on how you dressed it up/down. It was very comfortable and the material excellent quality. Would recommend. I wish I could have bought it!

I loved this wool dress - it has a funky design and is flattering. I got lots of compliments. Would buy it if I had enough $$$

Casual sweater - strange shape
This is more a casual sweater than a coat. The material is thick enough for a cool autumn/spring day, but it's not particularly smart/formal. I found the shape strange - the pockets were lumpy and it didn't hang well at the front. I returned without wearing

Beautiful pattern and autumnal colors
This dress is a comfortable fit and the pattern is very nice - even better than it looks in the picture. The material is weird - it makes a crinkly sound like a waterproof jacket when you walk, but it doesn't look strange. I'd recommend renting it if you want a fun comfortable dress that still looks smart.

Comfy but nothing special
This is a great outfit for a comfy casual day. Don't plan to wear it for anything special and it is quite baggy, so take a size lower - I promise it won't be too small.

Funky skirt
This skirt was really funky - well made, great material, the buckles are awesome. It looks nice with black tights, boots and a black top. It's thick so wouldn't work for hot days. It's also quite restrictive so don't wear for dancing. My only criticism is it rides up and the slit is quite high - I often had to pull it down. Looked nice though.

Comfy and elegant
I really liked this dress. It was comfortable, yet still elegant enough for work and bar drinks. I replicate previous comments - the dress does flap open when walking. I paired mine with leggings, which actually looked really nice. Recommended

Really comfortable and nice fitting dress
This was a warm material, so not great for hot summer days, but perfect for Autumn. The length was exactly right - not too long or short. I loved the collar. The dress was a little big for me, but I ordered the wrong size.

Too large around bosom
This ran way too large for me. I'm usually a 4 or 6, but this dress was so baggy under the armpits. I'd go for a small if you are anything under a 8 or if you have a small bosom.

A little large for me
This hung a little large for me, I'm usually in between a 4 and a 6. It was a cute dress though. Loved the buttons and the pockets.

Wonderful fit
I loved this dress. The fit is really flexible as the top is elasticated so you could get away with being a little under or over a 6. The skirt is flowing and fun to swing as you strut down the street. The material is heavy in a well-made way. I have a small bosom so didn't have the problem with the buttons stretching as others have had. I almost bought the dress, I loved it so much.

Large on the bust
As everyone else has written this runs large on the busy. As it wraps around you could get away with a size (or two!) down. Unless you have a big bust of course (lucky you!)
