Pretty and office appropriate
This was a nice pick to wear into my professional office in the summer. The cut and style are conservative, with the pattern adding some flair. The colors were bolder than I was expecting. I thought they looked a bit muted in the photos, but they're actually vivid jewel tones (which works well for me). The material was thicker than I thought it would be, but was breathable and had a bit of stretch. It fell a bit past my knees, and the skirt has a vent in the back, so no problems walking. I've tried several DVF dresses, with varying degrees of success, but this one is a definite winner.

Beautiful dress with a stunning design
This is such a beautiful dress. The fabric is thick and scuba-like. It's form fitting, but the length and cut made me feel comfortable wearing it to work. I wondered if the pattern made it a bit too bold for the office, but it was such a gorgeous dress I wanted to wear it anyways, and I thought it work appropriate. It would also be very nice for a party or evening out.

Very pretty dress
This was a nice pick to wear into the office in the summer. The pattern is cheerful and very pretty (even more so in person than in the photos), and the length and cut are entirely office appropriate. The material is a thicker scuba-like material. My only quibble, and it's a small one, is that I found the oversized sleeves a bit annoying. It runs a bit large. I ordered down a size based on reading other reviews, and it fit perfectly. I received several compliments on it.

Liked the fit, didn't like the grommets.
I didn't end up wearing this because the grommets just didn't look right. They stuck out oddly when tied and made my waist look bigger. Really a pity because otherwise I liked the dress. The overall style and the fit were quite nice. I'll look for other dresses from this designer for sure.

Love this dress! Perfect for summer.
This is a really beautiful dress. The material is thin and very breathable, which made it so comfortable to wear in the middle of summer. It has two layers, a bottom opaque layer and a sheer top layer covered with e!embroidery. The white pattern is all embroidery, and is so beautiful in person. It has a slight sheen in the sun. There is a rather high side slit, but it's positioned so you're not flashing a lot of leg while sitting. I wore it to work, but it would also be good for a nice dinner out a trip to the theater. I'll be sorry to send this one back!

Sleek and elegant
Very elegant blazer. The pattern is beautiful and it looks very sophisticated. I wore it in July with a white skirt and black top, for a summery office look. It was a bit heavy for the middle of summer, though if you're in air conditioning it's not such an issue. I will likely rent it again when the weather cools down a bit.

My sister said it made me look like a school-marm.
Maybe this dress would look better on a taller woman, but it just didn't work for me (I'm 5'4"), and I didn't wear it. My first thought on looking in the mirror was "Little House on the Prairie." My sister's comment was it made me look like a school-marm. The fabric is nice and light (definitely a summer dress). I did like that it had small hooks in between the buttons to keep it from gaping open; that's a nice design feature. There was too much fabric in the top of the dress, which bagged down unattractively above the waist.

I got SO many compliments!!!
This is a beautiful dress for spring and summer. The pattern in the fabric is really lovely. The dress is fully lined. The bodice is ruched. The fit is quite close in the torso and down through the hips, before flaring out. I loved the slight high-low and the tiers in the skirt. I was told the dress fit me like a glove. Since it is so fitted on top, those who prefer a looser fit might want to consider sizing up, since there's not much stretch to the fabric. I felt great wearing this and received compliments all day long.

Love this skirt! Professional yet with an edgy vibe
This was a great skirt to wear to jazz up the typical professional office attire. It was knee length on me. The zipper runs all the way down the front. I was worried the bottom part might slide up through the day but it was very firm. The material is quite thick. The grey part is tweed, and the black part is a thick scuba like material. It's probably better for the colder months. I wore it in July in upstate New York. It was fine in my air conditioned office but rather warm when I was outside. I'll certainly rent this again when the weather cools down!

Pretty pattern; background is navy, not black; runs long on shorter women.
I like the pattern on this skirt quite a bit. A few words on the colors - the background is navy, not black (I know it looks black in my photo too). The leaves have orange veining, which is subtle and quite pretty. I wore a coral top to pick up on that color. It was long on me (I'm 5'4"), which seems to be the norm with DVF skirts and dresses I've tried to date. They seem to be designed with tall people in mind. It was close fitting, with a vent in back so walking was no problem. All in all, it was a nice pick, though I would have liked it better if it had not been so long on me.

Flattering and fun; not much stretch to the fabric.
This is a fun summer dress. The shape and fit were very flattering to me. The stripes in cheerful summery colors made it fun, while the length and cut were office appropriate. I wore a white blazer over it to work. My one issue was that there's no stretch to the fabric, and that made it a bit constrained in the shoulders. I wore it work, where I was sitting at my desk all day, so it wasn't much of an issue for me. But people who are going to be more active might want to consider sizing up for that reason, although the fit is true to size.

Stunning dress! Perfect for day to night.
I love everything about this dress! It's stylish and a bit edgy, while still being work appropriate. The fabric is textured and feels luxurious. The cut is different and very flattering to an hourglass figure. It hugs all the right places (I liked it but people who prefer a bit more of a conservative look might want to size up). I was worried that the band around the thighs from the drop waist might irritate me, but it didn't at all. I wore it to work and then for an evening out and it was very comfortable all day and night long. It looked professional at work with a black jacket over it to tone it down a bit and sexy for a night out. It's really the perfect day to night dress. I only wish I could keep it!

Very cool jacket, can dress up or down
I was looking for a fun jacket to take with me on a weekend trip, and liked this one so much that I kept it for a few weeks longer. It's very versatile and looked great with jeans and with a dress. The leather was soft and felt wonderful. I sized up to a size medium and think that was the right choice. It's cropped and fell right at my waist. All in all, this was a great rental and I was only sorry I had to send it back.

Very classy, professional blazer
I was a little hesitant to order this because I was worried the denim trim might make it a bit too casual for my professional office. But I loved it and wore it twice to work, once with black trousers and a red top , and once over a black sheath dress. It was very polished and professional looking and I received several compliments.

Elegant and classic, very professional
I liked this dress very much for a day in my professional office. It's conservative, while the pattern is just different enough to make it interesting. The accentuating at the waist was a nice touch. The fit was good. Close fitting without being constricting (which is how I prefer my clothes generally). The fabric was soft and felt nice to wear. If you want a nice basic professional dress, this is a great choice.

Classic, elegant and feminine
When I rented this, I thought it would be a nice basic for work (which if was) and was rather surprised at just how much I ended up liking it. The fit was nice, the asymmetric skirt was fun and the length was work appropriate and the fabric is light and comfortable. The soft flowing skirt is very feminine. I felt great wearing this all day and received several compliments. I would have considered buying if it it was less expensive and will definitely rent again.

Pretty pattern, but didn't love it
This skirt was... OK. The pattern is very pretty, and I received a few compliments on it. The material is thin, and the fit wasn't too close (I actually prefer something billed as a pencil skirt to be a bit closer fitting). It fell a bit past my knees (I'm 5'4"), which is not my preferred length for a skirt. There is a short lining in it, and a very high side slit. I generally don't object to showing a bit of leg, but I thought the slit was too high, since the lining kept showing and I was having to constantly adjust the skirt when sitting down since it showed off too much leg. It was an adequate work skirt, but I don't think I'll be renting it again.

Nice jacket for work, brighter colors than shown in stock photos
I've rented several blazers from Iro and really like their fit. This jacket, like all Iro jackets I've tried, is tailored for a close fit, which looks quite professional. My own slight quibble with this one was that the sleeves were a bit short, falling a bit above my wrists. The colors were brighter than I was expecting, but it made for a nice pop of color. It's not lined, but I wore it over a sleeveless top and was comfortable all day. The material is thick and jacquarded.

Fun and sexy dress, better for event than work
I loved this dress. The fabric is thick and comfortable. There are stretchy side panels, which made it hug in all the right places. There's a fun little flare at the back of the skirt. My only quibble with it was that the sleeves were too long and came down almost to my knuckles. They also belled out a lot at the wrist, which would be annoying if you had to do anything with your hands while wearing it. I decided the dress was a bit too sexy to wear into my professional office, but I would rent it again for an event or party.

This is a great dress. The asymmetric skirt added some fun flair, while the length was appropriate for work. The neck was a bit higher than I'd expected. I wore it with a red cropped blazer. If you wear it without a jacket or sweater, you may want a strapless bra. I received several compliments in this. I'd rent it again.

Cute dress, nice for fall and winter
This is a very cute dress, in subdued but pretty colors. The fabric was thick and soft, and there are stretchy side panels to help it hug your curves in the right places. The little flare at the back of the skirt is a fun feature. My one issue was that the dress did have a tendency to ride up, and I was constantly having to adjust it throughout the day. I wore it into work with a blazer over it, but it would easily transition to night. I would likely rent this again.

Nice looking blazer, heavier weight is good for fall and winter
I wore this into work over a gray skirt and black top. It fit nicely, and the material was heavy and a good weight for the colder months. The material is jacquarded. It's unlined, so wearing a long sleeved shirt under it was the most comfortable. The stripes are quite prominent, so I thought it worked best over a neutral base outfit.

Very pretty and fun skirt
This skirt has been on my list for a while to try, so I was happy when it became available. The material is comfortable and so pretty, though be aware it has small yellow dots scattered throughout the pattern, which wasn't really apparent in the stock photos. I liked the yellow, but it did look a little different than I'd pictured. It was midi length on me, and the slits gave it a sassy vibe. I toned it down for work with a black cardigan, though it could be dressed up quite easily with a fun top and shoes. Be aware it does show a lot of leg when you're sitting down. I would definitely rent this again.

Very striking but still professional
Very beautiful and striking jacket. I generally prefer more tailored clothes, but very much enjoyed wearing this into my professional office for a little change in style. I wore it over a plain black sheath dress and it looked professional and polished. The fit is loose, but deliberately so (it was fine through the shoulders and arms with my normal size). The sleeves are quite wide, even more so than they appear in the photos. I would probably rent this again.

Pretty spring dress, but wrinkles easily
I liked the fun pattern of this dress. The fit was true to size, and the material was light and soft. It did cling a bit more than I liked in the stomach area, but I wore a blazer over the dress to work. My one issue was that it wrinkled very easily. I received it brand new with tags on and it came out of the bag wrinkled. The wrinkles shook out after hanging in the closet, but when I wore it, it got wrinkled after I did nothing but sit at my desk for the day.

This was a great skirt for work. The fabric is thick, the pattern is beautiful and the flare is quite feminine and fun. It was tea length on me (I'm 5'4'). I decided to go down a size after reading the reviews, and was glad I did, since the size I selected fit perfectly. I got several compliments throughout the day, including one from a total stranger in an elevator. I will likely rent this again.

Didn't work for me, sent it back without wearing
I expected to like this dress, since sheath dresses are a staple in my wardrobe and the photos from other reviewers look nice. But it just wasn't flattering on me. The ruching bunched up oddly on the side and I didn't think the crossbody fit was a good look on me. On the plus side, the fabric was thick and comfortable and I liked the way the dress fit in the back - it hugged in all the right places there, while still being work appropriate. But that wasn't enough to make up for the unflattering front and I sent it back unworn.

This is a beautiful skirt, and I received a lot of compliments on it when I wore it to work. The material is thin and flowy and drapes nicely to show off my shape without being too risque for work. Since I wore it in winter, I wore it with tights and boots. I wore a blazer with it to work, but this skirt could also easily be worn for an evening out with a fun top. I really don't want to send this one back. I may just have to buy it!

When I received this jacket, I initially thought it might be a bit too casual to wear into my professional office. But it paired nicely with black trousers and a black shirt, and I enjoyed wearing it. The fit is very nice. It's quilted, which I didn't realize from the photos, but the effect is subtle and the material is soft and comfortably mid-weight rather than heavy.

Overall I quite liked this dress, although I generally prefer a more fitted shape, and didn't feel that the A-line cut was that flattering to my waist. The flare at the bottom added a bit of fun, while the length was appropriate for work. The fabric was thick and very comfortable. I had trouble finding a blazer that I liked with it, but finally paired it with a long knee length black jacket, which jazzed up the look.

This was a nice dress, though a bit longer than I like in general. It fell a few inches below my knees. I wore it with knee high boots and a long black jacket. The fabric was thick and quite comfortable. My one issue was that there was no split in the skirt, so my stride was a bit constrained.

Fun for a night out, not so much for the office.
The fit was nice through the hips and waist. I have trouble sometimes finding a length in pants that works for me and a common problem for me is finding pants that otherwise fit well to be too long. These touched the ground in bare feet, but were fine with heels. I was looking for nice-looking but warm pants to wear in winter, so was disappointed when these turned out to be thin fabric, with no lining. Also, the cheetah pattern was bolder than I had been expecting. I thought these were a bit too edgy to wear to my professional office, so ended up returning them unworn. They would be nice for a less conservative office or a night out.

Fun, if a bit frivolous for work.
Very cute dress. I rented my normal size, which fit snugly where the waist is cinched in below the bodice. It was fine for me, but people who like a looser fit might want to consider sizing up. The higher part of the hemline fell about two inches above my knees, and the lower part just past the knees. The fabric is thin, so I wore dark tights with it. Knee high boots rocked the look. I did have a few quibbles with the fit. I hadn't realized that there was a deep keyhole neckline, so had to wear a cami under it to make it work appropriate. And since the waist is cinched in so tightly, the extra material from the bodice just hung there right below the chest. I thought it was a bit frivolous for my professional office, but wore it on a Friday when I didn't have any client meetings scheduled, with a blazer over it to tone it down a bit. I received several compliments on it.
