Runs small but not TOO small
Sized up 2 sizes based on other reviews but probably only needed 1. Was loose up top since I have small boobs, but fit pretty well in the hips. Wore a bralette so I didn't care if it showed. Fun color and length. Fabric has stretch and is pretty thick (so feels supportive).

Fun for a night out!
Fit like a glove! Felt great in this. Adjustable straps (big pro). Some stretch but not a ton. Didn't stretch out as the night wore on. Five stars for sure!

really cute- felt like a flamenco dancer
Fun maxi that made me feel great. Definitely runs small- size up. No stretch. Loved the silhouette though- didn't feel frumpy like some maxi dresses do. Would have kept this if it wasn't so $$$!!

Strange fit- wish it worked
I sized up one size based on reviews, which seemed like a mistake- but I don't think any size would have fit me. The cutout is large, and there isn't anything that holds the bust portion down- so it was loose on me, but if my boobs were bigger, it doesn't seem like it would have been better? Just seems like a dress that will only work if perfectly proportioned for your body- too much of a gamble to take on a rental. Wish it worked!

Beautiful fabric and loved the low back
Lightweight and flowy fabric. I wore to dinner but it's nice enough to that you could get away with it for a wedding or more dressy event. Loved the low V in the back. I didn't wear a bra with it due to the low back which worked fine for my smaller chest. Overall a very pretty dress. No stretch but I think it fit pretty true to size.

Truly amazing- looks and feels like a million bucks
Absolutely obsessed. The fabric is so unique- stretchy and soft, but still structured and flattering. I can't recall another work dress I've worn that is as comfortable as this while being form fitting. So many compliments. I 1000% would have kept if it wasn't so $$$. Perfect rental for an important work event! I probably could have gotten away with one size down but this size (which was a size up for me) worked great too.

Runs large
As other reviewers have said, the only thing holding up this dress is the bra clasp. I read that and ordered my smaller size (an 8). This was still too big and the dress would not stay up at all. As you can see in the photo, the front of the dress also lost its structure and was drooping (not like it looks in the model photo). Totally unwearable. The fabric was gorgeous and I really wish this would have worked.

Very cute and cozy but not as soft as I'd prefer
Given the price and quality of Vince pieces, I would have expected this to be crazy soft- but was honestly a little scratchy. Not unbearable, but definitely wasn't tempted to keep. Cute for a wear or two though!

So many compliments on this fun statement coat!
Heartbroken to return this. So fun and made every outfit over the holidays extra festive. It was perfect for DC with our mild winters, but don't rent this thinking it's going to be warm. Definitely lightweight. Ran a little small- I'm usually a medium, but the large was pretty fitted.

Felt great in this
Clingy fit- felt more comfortable wearing spanx which was fine. Wore with black booties and a suede moto jacket and felt great for fall galavanting around NYC. Typical great reformation dress. Would rent this or a similar style again!

Classic
A little shorter than I usually go at work on my 5'9" frame, but figured why not show some leg? I'm always between an 8 and 10 but went with the 10 on the true wrap dress to have extra fabric (glad I did). Very flattering and got lots of compliments.

Stunning but heavy
Gorgeous and felt like a million bucks in these but holy hell they were heavy! I also didn't realize they were clip ons, but I literally think they would have pulled through my ear holes if they weren't clip ons. Worth it for a shorter event but I was dying to take these off by the end of the wedding!

Just the right amount of sexy and classy
Love love loved this. Rented for my mom's wedding and felt amazing in it. Loved the off the shoulder look (which shockingly completely stayed put) balanced with long sleeves and the asymmetrical hem. Wore spandex because it was very fitted, but the fabric is thicker so a bit more forgiving. It also has some stretch, but definitely didn't stretch out through the course of the night. Sad to let this one go but loved wearing it!

Such a fun and unique shape and print- felt like a walking party
Don't think I would have picked this online but picked this up in the store and ended up loving it so much! The one shoulder with ruffle was unique and fun. Fit like a glove. I liked that the fabric had structure and didn't blow up too much in the wind, too.

I have no idea how this hasn't been rented more
Great for tall girls. The fabric was absolutely gorgeous and felt as expensive as it was. Planning to rent again. I felt sexy but not too revealing. Beautiful cut. No stretch i it was a little tight on my rib cage but I feel like sizing up would be too big. Worth a little discomfort for how great I felt in it.

Felt like a million bucks
This fabric is gorgeous, and the print is beautiful and unique- and flattering! I seriously felt incredible in this out in New York for my birthday weekend. I have a larger rib cage, and the dress has zero stretch, so I was definitely snug in the medium. Would definitely not work if you have a larger chest as I felt like my boobs were popping out (which is unusual for me lol).

LOOOOOOVE
Feels insanely comfortable- as a maxi dress with pockets tends to do- but the low back and shape of the top made this feel sexy and stylish. I couldn't resist keeping. Ive work with a gray suede moto and booties when the temperature dropped all the sudden, and I've worn with sandals on a hot summer afternoon. So excited about this one! I'm more often a medium, and the large fit perfectly, so runs a little bit on the smaller size. I'm also 5.9" and this is just above floor length in flats.

Loved the fabric, would have kept if the pattern had more pop
I adore this brand as all their fabric feels so luxe and expensive (probably because it IS super pricey...) I felt great in this and paired it with nude pumps and a grayish blue blazer for work. I have pale skin and I felt like the pattern/color washed me out a bit, but I couldn't have loved the fit, style, and shape more.

TIGHT for this brand
I feel like DVF usually fits pretty true to size, but this medium was super tight. I could zip it up no problem because the material has stretch, but it was way too tight for me to feel comfortable at work. I'm also 5'9", so it was tight AND short. Maybe would work if you're shorter and don't have the tight and short combo going.

BEAUTIFUL fabric, but runs larger
The fabric is soooo soft and luxurious feeling. I questioned wearing this even though it was big in the top (probably would she worked with a pretty bralette that's meant to show, but a regular bra would have 100% showed, and going braces would have definitely flashed some nip!), but I was already going into the store to get something else so I ended up returning without wearing. Probably runs true to size for someone with a larger chest than me!

Fit like a glove- great for curves. Pretty color!
Such a pretty pink that made me feel feminine but grown up. I wouldn't have loved this on me without a blazer, though- the cut of the arms highlights that weird "armpit fat" area that's not cute, BUT, I couldn't have loved it more with a blazer! I vary between and 8 and a 10, and the 10 was definitely fitted.

Feminine dress for the office
I like this and felt good in it. As other reviews have noted, there is some pilling in the fabric that made me definitely not consider buying it, but didn't bother me at all (and wasn't noticeable) to wear once. I felt pretty in this at work, but it also would work for a more formal brunch, bridal shower, Easter, etc.

Versatile and such a fun vibrant color!
Wore this for work with nude pumps. Also wore it unbuttoned over a black bodysuit and high-wasted jeans with wedges for a night out. I SO wanted to keep this but couldn't justify the price tag. I felt like it ran a little bit large in the chest area (I'm a B cup) for a medium, but sizing down to a small would have been too tight on my hips/thighs. Would rent again!

Size down if between sizes
I'm between an 8 and 10 and ordered a 10, which was a mistake. Straps are not adjustable so if you're smaller chested, sizing down would be better. Cute dress though!

Colorful and fun- multiple compliments
I am between an 8 and 10 and went with the 10 since This is a true wrap dress. The top was a little bit as a result (I'm a B cup) but looked perfect under a blazer for work. Opted not to wear this again outside of work bc the top was a bit big and it made it less flattering. People LOVED the bright yellow- my doorman, who I've walked by every day for a year without him commenting on my clothes- told me that it was a very pretty dress haha- so there's that!!

Cute dress with extra flair for work
Forgive the work bathroom selfie- wore this with a tan blazer and nude pumps for work. Could have worked well for desk to dinner but returned it for another spot before I could rewear. No stretch, but the tie made it slimming. Didn't feel like super high quality fabric but fine to wear once.

Desk to dinner
Wore this for work (with a white cami) with a navy blazer and nude heels. Swapped heels for sandals and took off the blazer to meet my husband for dinner. A fun flowy summery dress good for a hot day. It is a true wrap so I did need to hold it down a couple times when waking outside, but sitting was fine since there was plenty of fabric. I'm not sure the flowy sleeves were that flattering, but I liked it better in person than in pictures.

Big in the chest
This fit TTS everywhere for me but for in the chest (36B). Due to the style, the top just hung awkwardly and sat weirdly low, making it too low cut (not in a cute way). I decided just not to wear it. It would have been fine with a cami and a blazer for work but not amazing).
