Great for straight lines not curves
I'm a size 10, curvy, bit of a tummy and this dress just hit in all the wrong places. For someone with hips it will accentuate them but the top part of the dress just throws the entire look off. Think this would be a good dress for someone maybe thinner? I'm 5'7", 170#

Loved the fit!
I'm a size 10, curvy, have a bit of a tummy and breast that run a tad large. It is a bit snug but hit in all the right places, if you have larger arms it might squeeze them too much. My tummy was a little bloated but Spanx (girdle fit) just made everything smooth out. Material is definitely for Fall & Winter & it might a bit itchy, maybe early spring and the material doesn't give a ton. Great neckline & cut and it is lined. Think I might buy it honestly!!

Wanted to love
Wrong time of the month to wear a fitted dres. I ended up skipping the Spanx as my husband told me he could see them under the dress & not in a complimentary view. Wore it with a black leather jacket out to an event and it just didn't feel right. Wanted to love it though

80's style
Wanted to love this as I could inject some color into my wardrobe. Sadly it was wrinkled & the fabric honestly was old like from the 80's

Elegant & comfortable
Rented this for a company awards dinner and received several compliments. My tummy is my challenging area and the rouching in the middle helped me try to hide it. The dress felt great, the material was very comfortable and not too hot. Would definitely wear this one again.

Great rental
Wore this dress three times and absolutely loved it. Added a long cardigan for the cooler months as the fabric is better for cooler weather. Considered purchasing this dress

Loved a Halston
Rented this for a formal event as I have always wanted to wear a Halston dress. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to make it look like the model as the fabric draping is a challenge. The fabric wrinkles easily so I tried to lightly steam it. Really liked how it draped over me so I hope to wear it again!

Go up a size
Another great rental! Glad I went up a size as it was a bit snug in the mid section and in the arms. It does cut in a bit in the upper arms so if you have extra squishy parts, chicken nugget is what I call it breast fat, just wear a sweater to cover it. It's perfect for fall as the material is heavier and I wish I had added boots. Great neckline too

Best rental ever!
I absolutely loved this jumper! I rented it for a fundraiser and wedding and loved it. It fit perfectly, stretchy material that is very forgiving. I added spanx to help control my midsection. Seriously it was so comfortable and I felt so sexy. It even gave me a thigh gap lol!! You won't regret this rental I promise

Great dress
Loved this dress, I wore it several times for work and out with work friends. I had to add a cami to cover my breasts & paired it with a long cardigan to look more work appropriate. Would seriously consider purchasing this dress!

Feeling pretty
Loved this dress!! Wore it for work and needed a bandeau or tank underneath as the top was a little too risqué for work. It was a long, flowing dress that worked well in my industry. It was light enough for summer and enhanced my curves. Would definitely rent it again! Would be great for a summer or spring wedding or work event or party.

Great for straight shape, not curvy
Wanted to love this dress but it hit me in all the wrong places. I'm a curvy size 10 and it didn't fit me well at all. I have a gf who is 5'10" and has a very straight frame, she could rock this but not me!

Boxy boxy
The material of this shirt was heavy and had zero shape to it other than make me look like a box. Not at all flowy or light as one would imagine so it's definitely going back!

Loved it but my tummy didn't
Loved this dress, it is elegant but not too much for work. The sleeves did not get in the way and added a bit of elegance. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because my belly didn't cooperate and it was tight as a tick around my mid section while everywhere else it was perfect. I wanted to love love love this dress but alas it wasn't the right fit for my mid section!

Sexy but work appropriate
Loved this dress, it hit in all the right places. Not too dressy not trendy either. I paired it with cowboy boots to give it a bit of an edge. I work in a casual yet professional environment so it was appropriate. Could be fun for weekend, concert, work meeting, etc. you'll need to wear a slip underneath as it's a little sheer.

Perfect final piece
I absolutely love love love this jacket! I have worn it five times and kept it for a few weeks because I keep getting more opportunities to wear it. I love it for work as I can wear it during the day and then throw on a pair of jeans for a work dinner. It isn't too heavy, the material is perfect and it's not too boxey!

Too transparent
As soon as I put this on I loved it then I realized the fabric was so sheer you could see right through it! Squishy parts and all

Couch like
Really wanted to like this dress but the fabric looked like something that was on a couch. Texture or fabric Resembled that of a weird suede like material. Very boxy, didn't complement my figure.

Snug
Wanted to love this dress but I felt like a sausage squeezed into it. The lines that I believe were meant to distract from a tummy actually emphasized it. I tried it on with Spanx but it didn't seem to help. Great dress and maybe I should have tried a size up but after the attached photo I'm going to opt to hit the gym.

Lovely front, crepey in the back
Loved the fit of this dress from the front, it was perfect. Length was great it's just the back that didn't fit right and left me with ruching across the back that I didn't love. I even tried Spanx to see if it would lie straight but sadly it wouldn't!

Mod Look
This dress was fabulous, I paired it with tights and some booties and got crazy compliments. It runs short so depending on your company dress code it might not work. Very comfortable fabric and the sleeves were fun.

Wanted to love it
The dress is more flashy and colorful than grey as displayed in the photos. It fit snugly and the rouching (?) across the middle helps hide a less than flat tummy. Looks like something you'd wear to a pageant, just not my style but a well fitted dress.
