Taller Ladies Take Note!
I am 5'6" and this dress went past my knees by several inches. It would be perfect for taller ladies who still desire a modest hemline. I do wish I'd ordered my true size (12) as the fit is generous. However because of the cut & fabric give, it still hangs nicely and doesn't look like I'm wearing too big of a dress. The neckline does go quite low so be mindful of that. The color is a nice, deep red as opposed to a brighter Christmas red. I'd almost call it garnet. Gorgeous all around!

WOW WOW WOW
Easily one of my top 5 rentals of all time. This was the first M.M.LaFleur dress I've worn and it will not be the last. This was a true power dress and I felt like a million bucks wearing it. I work in a very conservative investment services practice and love professional attire that's stylish & feminine yet modest. This was perfect.

Polished & Professional
I'm a true size 12 and was very glad I chose a 14. It fit very nicely without the need for spanx. The dress is lined which helped with the smooth fit and the gathering toward the side helped hide my mom-belly. I felt very polished and put together at the office with this on.

Show Stopper
I rented this for work because I wanted something conservative, professional, yet fun. This fit the bill exactly! The fabric is stretchy, soft, and very comfortable. Everything about this dress was perfect. I did wear shape wear under it just to smooth things out and give me a little bit more confidence.

Subtle wow factor.
This was one of those dresses that I wasn't entirely sure about until I put it on and accessorized it. I ended up getting multiple compliments on this dress! It is loose fitting, but very comfortable at my normal size.

Beautiful shade of purple.
Very comfortable, very professional looking dress. Fully lined and this helped the fit stay true all day long. Received multiple compliments on the shade of purple. Love that Boden is so consistent with their sizing & fit!

Show stopper!
I felt like I had stepped off the runway and right into real life glam with this dress! It's low cut so be prepared to wear a cami if you're uncomfortable showing cleavage.

Super Cute!
The cut was generous but still ran large. Could have sized down and still had plenty of movement. Was very comfortable for work but would also have been appropriate for a party.

Comfortable & professional.
This ran quite big. I'm a solid size 12 (5'6") and could have easily worn this in a 10. The weight of the dress is quite heavy and it's fully lined. Would be very cute in the winter with tights & boots.
