Cute but a bit short
Very cute and comfy - not itchy at all. But I have a larger bust and broad shoulders so needed to wear this with high waisted pants.

Cute for work
Wore this to work and received several compliments. It was a little long for my 5'5 height (hit just at the top of my knees) but still looked flattering. Had to go up a size since the midsection ran a bit small.

Comfy and warm
Worn to work with ballet flats and out to dinner with friends. Warm enough to wear with a light jacket at 50 degrees (and I'm always cold!) and got compliments. I have broad shoulders and a larger bust but no issues with pulling material.

comfy and cute!
As others have said, this dress is super comfortable and warm. Worn with tights to brunch with family and to work with ankle boots for casual Friday. Got compliments both times, and the fit was good It isn't the absolute most flattering silhouette, but still cute.

Too big and odd fit
Rented this for work but was way too big in the waist yet was almost tight on my very flat butt. Maybe this is because my thighs are larger and the material was pulling there? Regardless, it went back without wearing.

Cute for work and evening dinner
This was adorable and not shapeless like so many sweater dresses. I am 5'5 and definitely needed tights underneath due to the length. It went well with tall boots and a leather jacket from work to dinner on a cooler fall evening. Would definitely recommend.

Adorable work outfit for warm weather
Very cute for work and lightweight material. I run between an 8-10 and was glad I chose the 10 for my larger bust and broad shoulders. The dress did have some room left in the tummy area (but other reviewers are right that there's no give in the fabric there) and it fit perfectly across my chest.

Comfy and chic!
Wore this to work and got lots of compliments. The dress is comfortable, and although the material is thick I think it's not quite thick enough to be a winter dress (at least in Chicago!). The length was perfect for work at a couple inches above the knee and it fit well with my broad shoulders and larger chest. Will certainly rent again!

Adorable work dress!
Wore this for work and I loved it! I vary between a 6-8, but usually go up to an 8 in Kate Spade due to my broad shoulders. This was super comfortable and I got lots of compliments. I'm 5'5 and the dress fell just above the knee. The material was thick enough to be a fall and maybe even winter dress. The 8 was fine with my larger bust (32DD) and the cut was very flattering. It was slightly tight on my broad shoulders, but not uncomfortable. Will definitely rent again!

Just ok
Rented this for a friend's party and it was comfortable and the material was thick enough that I wasn't freezing the entire time. That said, the cut of the dress was just ok. I think the stylist was right in her comments when she said this wasn't for curvier gals. I don't consider myself super curvy (I have a large bust but average hips) but the cut wasn't super flattering since there was additional material in the midsection. I think this would be fabulous on someone with a more straight/narrow body type, but it wasn't great for me.

Great work dress!
I vary between a 6-8 but this medium worked well - I could not have gone to the small! The fabric is beautiful with just a hint of sparkle in the silver thread and is thick enough that it will wear well into winter. It was very comfortable - wore it for a couple of work days and got compliments each time. This dress wasn't tight or pinching around my broad shoulders, which is a huge plus. I'm 5'5 and it hit just above the knee - no need to be careful when sitting down. Will definitely rent this again!

Great work top!
I've rented this several times as part of my unlimited for work and it never disappoints! I'm between a 6-8 usually, but have a large chest and broad shoulders and the medium still gives me LOTS of room. Unlike many of the other tops, this one doesn't wrinkle immediately when you take it off the hanger and the material looks great with grey pants (work) or skinny jeans for the weekend. It does run a bit big (I think it's just the look) so it isn't your typical work blouse, and you will need to wear a tank underneath it. However, it's a great staple that I've worn several times and always get compliments on!

Not for those with broad shoulders AND large chests!
I really, really wanted to like this dress. The material is a gorgeous color and the dress is well made, but unfortunately the style takes all of the form from the shoulders and chest and is quite blowsy everywhere else. Since I have very broad shoulders and a large chest (32DD) I ended up looking like I'd gained 20 pounds under the dress (all I could think of when I looked in the mirror was the Incredible Hulk). From other reviews, it seems this dress will still work for those with larger chests, but I think the big shoulders + chest combination wouldn't work :( Didn't wear it and sent it back immediately.

Great work dress!
I got this as part of my unlimited and was not disappointed. I usually go between a 6-8 for dresses but when dressing for work in something that's cut to be more form-fitting I always choose an 8. This was perfect for a summer work day! The dress material is a bit heavier and the 3/4 length sleeves kept me warm in the VERY cold office. The dress is definitely low cut for those of us with larger chests (32DD) so I wore a white tank underneath. I also have very broad shoulders but there was no issue with the fit. I have hips and large thighs but again the dress hugged my curves in a way that still made me look professional. Just be careful of the undergarments you wear-the dress shows underware straps VERY well so you'll need to wear your thinnest pair (or some spanx) or you'll have lines on your hips. The dress hit me at the top of the knee so it was perfect for work. However, as with all wrap dresses be mindful of the wind! A couple of breezes almost took half of the shirt away! But all in all, an adorable outfit that I would rent again.

Adorable!
I will agree with others that this material is thin - if wearing to an outdoor event I'd add a slip and be REALLY careful about the wind blowing the skirt! That said, I wore this for a family party and got compliments all day - literally, from the moment I put it on at the gym (where 2 strangers stopped me to say how much they liked it), all through the party and even a text from an aunt hours later telling me how much she'd loved it! I have broad shoulders and a large chest (32DD) with a narrow ribcage so high-necked dresses that fit well are hard to find. However, this one was fabulous in a medium, with my usual size a 6 or 8. Yes, you need to wear a strapless bra but with the generous fit of the top you don't have to worry if the bra slips a bit now and then since the dress fabric isn't skin tight. I could feel the strap under my arms but it wasn't tight or uncomfortable-and if you don't have super broad shoulders it will fit perfectly. Most importantly, the dress SUPER comfortable and lightweight and great for the heat! The cut of the waist also means you can eat as much cake as you like and it won't make you look bloated :) The dress hit me about mid-thigh: cute but still family-appropriate (also just enough to show off my legs!). Was sorry to send this back-but will definitely rent again!

Great for work
This was a great option for work - it was form fitting enough to show off curves but not so form fitting that it was inappropriate for the office. It was also much warmer than I'd anticipated (which was great for me) and the color was flattering.

This was surprisingly warm and looked adorable - my only complaint was that it ran big so it was much larger than I'd anticipated. However, it still looked nice enough to wear out and kept me cozy and warm.

Super cozy!
Wore this as part of a more casual work outfit and then to the airport to start my vacation. My plane was over an hour late but I didn't care since I was soooo comfy in this sweater! I'm always freezing on planes but this kept me warm and happy through the delay. It's one of the few sweater coats I've tried that still looks nice (not sloppy) and pretty enough to wear to work. There is a bit of extra room (to be expected) so if you want something close fitted I would size down.

Cute dress-small arms
I loved the bright color and light fabric of this dress for spring but unfortunately the cut was a little off. The dress flowed well but the upper arms were super tight - I could barely get my arms through the sleeves! I lift and swim, but my arms aren't super huge. In addition, the line of the slip could be seen through the thin fabric at the chest which I didn't like.

Super cute, comfortable earrings!
I can't wear anything heavy since my ears are so small and these were great - wore them over Thanksgiving for family party and get togethers and got lots of compliments. They're formal enough for an evening out but they also looked super cute with my hair in a ponytail and a colorful scarf to show them off.
