Love it! Easy to get in and out of.
Super comfy, elastic waist and shoulders that stay up but make using the restroom no problem. I may but this one!

So comfy! Runs baggy
The color is an amazing true red. The dress is very comfortable and runs large but that is the design. The only issue I had was with the front of the fabric which you can see in the picture. It hangs a little oddly, but the lining is not tacked to the outer material so I'm not sure why. Not very noticeable when you are walking or moving, so I would rent it again happily.

Waist too tight (sits closer to hip on short torso)
I love this dress and will definitely re-rent in the right size for me. I have a shorter torso so the waist cutouts sit closer to my hips and were too tight to zip. It made the top a little blousy, but that's fine with this cut. Agree with others that the cutouts are NSFW.

Fitted, but stretchy
It's form fitting, but the crepe material is fairly thick and the material is dark so didn't look too tight. The navy is really dark - midnight color. Below the knee for short people, but still appropriate / not dowdy with the front slit. Great work dress for transitional weather.

Casual, easy to wear and flattering. Appropriate for a shorter person - will definitely rent again.

Superwoman sleeveless only option
Comfy and great for short women as the dress would be too high for my taste if I was taller than 5'3". The cape is a great fun update to a basic shift dress, but makes it hard to wear anything over it (e.g. sweater or jacket). So that means it's sleeveless and warm weather only.

So flattering at the shoulder and neck!
Finally an open shoulder style that doesn't sag at the armpits! Gorgeous across the collar bone and neck area. This is an unusual shade of ocean blue that would work well on many skin types. I thought this was beautiful (so much that I bought it online after searching and finding a great deal). It's a true to size, but if you are busty, you will need to size up. I felt it gathered a little at the top of my strapless bra, but otherwise a great length and super easy to wear.

Arm holes droop awkwardly. Slightly Cropped.
It was a fun print (got it right after the weather turned cold so only wore it briefly). The style is awesome, but because the open edge at the top has a thick hem, it drooped and sagged under the armpits awkwardly for me. The body has lots of room so I could size down. Beware that it's a little cropped/shorter so long torsos would not enjoy as much.

Unique and Special! More Versatile than you think
The model photo does not do this top justice. I wish I would have rented this sooner in my final month. So many ways to wear it. With skinny black pants, with jeans, with a black skirt, with leather pants/skirt, over a simple black dress. TONS of compliments. I chose to wrap it and tie it in a square knot in the back vs the front bow. Otherwise the tail of the bow would have been down at my ankles. Subtle stripe, flattering neckline. Definitely take a chance!

Runs small!
It's gorgeous. Elegant. The crisscross back is a nice touch. It does show every bump and lump and I found it too tight through the midsection (and I'm slimish build), but I'd rent it again in a heartbeat in a bigger size. You don't need to wear a bra because the drape covers everything. The length is mid-calf on a short person (I'm 5'1"), but I didn't mind it. Very Jackie-O or Claire Underwood!

Comfy, but hard to get in and out of
The waist was small / fit correctly, the arms and upper body, very big. The shoulders fell down and there was a lot of length in the sleeves. I wore it anyway in sort of s slouchy casual way with a low cut front nude bra and it seemed okay. The fabric and length were very comfy, but the fabric covered buttons (of which there are many to undo) were hard to get in and out of to use the restroom. It would have been ideal if the designer had used these on a placket over a zipper!

Stylish and something different for work!
It was nice to have something other than a basic shift dress for work. It is however very short and if you were taller than probably 5'1" or 5'2" it will feel very short. The color is a beautiful camel, but like everyone else the snaps do come undone very easily with this dress. You need to use safety pins to reinforce it.

Pockets! Comfy, wrinkles horribly
This was a great work dress for a conference because of the pockets. However after sitting in it for 5 minutes it was completely wrinkled. It's also a bit long for someone as short as I am at 5'1" tall. The red color is a wonderful true red. And the material is very comfortable. Note that the ruffle at the bottom is a little bit of a shinier material than the crepe main body area.

Beautiful, narrow rib cage
This is a beautiful top that wears very easily. I have a large rib cage, and it was pretty tight. I made it work however and would happily do so again because it looks fantastic and expensive. The V-neck is very low and I did have to use a safety pin to make it a little bit more modest.

Super comfy, runs large
I rented this for a weekend getaway to Nashville. It is lined and the fabric has a nice weight to it so it doesn't feel flimsy. However I'm typically a M and I wore the S, but could have gone smaller. The skirt is a little short. But otherwise an awesome dress and one of the rare off the shoulder dresses that actually stays down!

Very forgiving dress. Better for taller bodies
I'm short and the dress length (at the knee for me) and the sleeves seemed long. Also the torso seemed better for a longer/taller person. Lots of stretch everywhere so great for days when you're feeling bigger and rounder. Not a wow dress, but comfortable. Off the shoulder does not stay in place well.

Easy to wear
The snap at the chest is too weak, but I pinned like most people and it was fine. I appreciated the adjustable straps. I'm 5'1" and it was short, but not uncomfortably so. The lining hangs out about 1/2" below the dress, but I think it's intentional. The belt was missing but it looks fine without one.
