Incorrectly sized
I sized up a size and it was still skin tight and totally inappropriate for work.

Cool shirt, for cool weather
It's not clear from the picture, but this is a heavy synthetic material. It stretches, but it's thick. I liked it, but it's hot.

Perfect
Great dress for the days in a formal office when the men are in khakis. This dress is a soft knit with interesting details and it hits below the knee. As others have said, it is slightly see through and it clings, but i just wore spanx. Got a lot of compliments.

Not appropriate for work
I love this designer normally, but this dress is not cute. It's a thick stretchy plastic type fabric that is skin tight. Wanted for work to dinner. Not at all appropriate.

Great transition dress
This is a heavier knit dress, lined, but there is some stretch to it. I thought the cut was great and it wasn't too short or tight for work. I'm normally a 16 and a 14 fit perfectly.

Fun Pants
Fit is very large. I'm normally a 16 and the 14 was big on me. Fun pants to wear. Not particularly flattering for the pear shapes like me, but got compliments because they are unique.

Great color
I rented this for a daytime wedding. The color was amazing and really stood out. However, be warned that the dress is tight and will show every bump, even with spanx.

Great comfortable dress
Wore for the 4th. Hit right at the knees on me. Easy to wear with a strapless. The straps were a little long, but material was comfortable with some stretch. Worth renting.

Fantastic dress
I rented this for a wedding shower knowing everyone else would be wearing pastels. It was a hit. It's very form fitting but a great material, even though it's thin. Length was perfect for me.

Short!
Rented for a 4th of July party and sent back because it was so unbelievably short. I'm 5'9" with a long torso and this barely covered my butt. Otherwise it is a great dress/fabric/cut. So disappointed I couldn't wear.

Not for work unless you size up
I rented a 16 (which is my normal size even though I'm sometimes a 14) and this dress was skin tight. It looked ok, but not at all appropriate for work. Also, the gold neck turnlock makes the neck of the dress fall inward. Ehh.

Perfect Work Dress for a Day with An After Work Event
It's form fitting to the waist and then looser around the hips. Good for my apple shape. The slit in the front goes pretty high so I wouldn't recommend for sitting other than behind a desk or table. Color is great. Not navy, a bit of a brighter blue. Loved the dress, work appropriate with a little extra.

Sexy and comfortable
Wore for a bachelorette party. Great stretchy fabric - thick but not too sweater-like. Perfect for pear shapes. I note for non- pear-shapes, you may have trouble filling out the cut of the dress. Loved. Will rent again.

So many compliments. It's a larger fit but you can adjust with the string at the waist. It's long and the fabric is silky and comfortable.

Not for me
I have a long torso and the cut of the shirt made me look shorter/ chubbier. Its a very large peplum and with the ruffle on top, it just wasn't working. Great fabric, tho - thick and high quality.

A little much
Cute dress, but a little much for work. There is a really high slit in the back and the dress is very form fitting. However, it's really cute and I will rent again for a social event but didn't work for every day wear.

Ok for Mother's Day
Cute dress, but the fit was a little more form-fitting then expected. It was cute, but I felt self-conscious between the length ( a little short), the tightness and the poofy sleeves and trim.

I loved the color of this bag as a pop to my everyday greys and blacks. It was a lot less structured then I expected.

great top. comfortable and cute
Easy to wear for an evening out at a concert with black denim. I have a long torso and it was just long enough. Elastic around the shoulders made it more comfortable, but it was form-fitting (not lose material around the midsection).

Awkward fit
I loved this shirt online and couldn't wait to wear, but when I put it on, it was a really heavy sweater material and created rolls. It was also really short for me. I'm 5'8" with a long torso. The arms were really cute though. The color is VERY bright.

Great fit, really cute dress, but 3 inches too short for work. I'm 5'8". I didn't wear. May rent again when it's cold enough outside for tights.

Ok
Material was itchy, arms were tight, it was also short and the cut wasn't flattering. I also didn't like the gromets around the neck which I didn't see in the picture. I didn't end up wearing.

Great dress!
Great dress, nice fabric. It fit a little big, but nothing drastic. As other reviewers said, it is very low cut, but you can wear a low cut bra. Probably better for women without a lot of cleavage.

Fit a little large. The shirt tents out at the bottom, which made it not especially flattering. I wore to work with a shirt under it.

Nice Dress. Not Amazing.
Dress is made for people who are larger on top then bottom. I ended up wearing the larger size even though the top was far too big because the bottom fit, while on the smaller size the bottom was too tight to be appropriate while the top fit well.

Great dress. Totally appropriate for the Red Ball!
For some reason, every dress I rent, even the long length is too short. This dress worked with 1 inch heels. However, it was super flattering and everyone complimented it.

.
I am 5'8" and I got the long and it was too short. I didn't end up wearing it because it also added an extra layer of fabric around the middle which made me feel bigger and I think it made my shoulders look very broad. Not my favorite look.
