Soft for a blazer
Something about the fabric made it feel so soft. It is a great add to a dress or sweater to kick it up a notch for work.

Bright for fall
This fall has been so gloomy where I live; the colors were just what I was missing. I had a hard time deciding on a coordinating top but found one in my closet that was dark yellow and looked great. The skirt has a little stretch but not a lot. The material is heavy but flouncy.

Upgrade to a black sweater
The material is light but warm. It is fitted. The metallic color gave it just the right amount of glam.

Interesting but grumpy
I received a lot of compliments on this dress but I felt frumpy. Probably personal preference and not the fault of the dress. Work appropriate, but I could also see this at a Fourth of July picnic.

Feminine
A typical pretty dress. I think it is better suited for a spring or summer party than the office, but it worked just fine there too. Flowy fabric.

Can't move
The cut of the sleeves makes it difficult to move. Some if the hooks were missing so the top gaped ioen. Its winter so i had a top underneath. It was just uncomfortable and not flattering enough to put up with it.

Flirty
Flirty, wrinkles fast, color is more fawn than orange (pic in RTR looked orange to me). Overall great dress. I wore it to work but I think it would be good for dinner or a party too.

Professional and sassy!
Great fit great fabric! Heavy and stretchy, perfect for fall or even winter. If you are busty, size up because you can see through if it stretches too much. Professional and sassy! You could wear this with leggings for the weekend.

Aqua not gray
The color is different in person from how it appears in the picture. It is really pretty light aqua. The sweater itself was a bit scratchy.

Subtle details
The lacing on the sleeves and back it subtle. The top is feminine and professional. I wore it with dark brown slacks and fun earrings. Could dress up jeans for a night out.

Gorgeous everyday top that works for multiple occasions. In the photo I'm in my July 4 cookout garb, but I also wore it one day to work with white slim fit pants.

Still talking about them!
2 days later I'm still getting compliments on these pants. I will just say, I'm almost 5'5 and I wore these with platforms and they were still too long. The bottoms are so wide and flowy it did not seem feasible to try to tape/hem the ends.

Great dress for work... if you have a cami. The white "shirt" is only in front. Without something underneath your whole body would show through the wide arm hole. So many compliments on this today from coworkers and hubby ;-)

Work to dinner
I received many compliments on these pants. I wore them to work then out to dinner. I'm a bit shy of 5'5" and they came just above my ankles- perfect to wear with flats. Highly recommend!

Disappointing
I thought this would be longer. It wasn't much of a statement. It looked awkward with my dress.

Day to night
Fabulous for meetings all day and then out for a business dinner. Professional but fun. The dress was surprisingly heavy. The buttons are a nice decorative touch. The cut of the sleeves makes it a little different than every other dress.

Not made for sitting
There's a reason models walk the catwalk. This dress is stunning standing up. Sitting requires your hands in your lap. I would not recommend this for an occasion when you are seated in sight of others. Ok for sitting behind a desk.

I need a yacht
In love with this skirt! Denim material, great pattern that makes me want to hop on a boat. And the pockets! Snuck into the side zipper- brilliant! The buttons make it. Wear with a top tucked in to show it off.

Funky pattern!
Rent it for the pattern but beware the trademark DVF cleavage show- pick a nice pin to keep it PG. The dress is baggy but for the static cling. Size down as it's not tight anywhere.

Need a safety pin
Pretty blouse that received a number of compliments. It is rather low cut so I pinned it. The colors were not quite as spring-like as I thought from the pics, but it was a great fabric for spring or fall.

Feminine white blouse
Ruffles add a bit of interest to an otherwise plain white blouse. The shoulders are open and ruffles hang over. I would say this runs large. Size to you chest and don't worry about the rest- it flows freely.

Awkward
This would be good for a casual summer outfit. I wore it under a jacket with a suit. The top is very long, the back is open, and the straps are narrow and close together. That is to say, without a jacket, my bra straps and back showed and it would not have been appropriate for work. It was generally comfortable to wear and the colors are bold. It highlights wide hips.

Shabby
This was nice to wear as a jacket over a sleeveless dress and also paired well with a pencil skirt (cami underneath). It just didn't pop like I wanted.

Boxy
There is not a lot of shape to this dress. The pleats add interest. I think it might look better on someone more voluptuous. It is very modest.

I love this coat. I can't make myself return it- thank goodness for unlimited! It is warm and looks good with everything. I get nonstop compliments.

So unique
I rated this as runs small because there is no give. Also, the size on the inside tag (40) did not quite match the retail tag that was still on the skirt (US 8/U.K. 10/IT 44). The skirt is two layers. The outside is almost like a brocade and has an Asian inspired pattern. The underskirt is sheer black at the bottom but satin at the top; sort of like a slip. I wore this to work but it could also be for dinner or a party. The colors are black, brown, and lilac.

Dual duty
A step above a plain black sweater. The arms are loosely knit but tight fitting. The ruffles are cute. This worked with jeans for a trip to a museum and another time with a skirt to work.

This top is large in the bust and shoulders and tight at the hips. The design is unique. Fun way to upgrade jeans! This is not a sweater as it appears from some photos.

Cozy and chic
I was curious about this Nike dress, so I rented it for my vacation - sharing a house at the beach with a big crowd. My vacation routine quickly became putting this dress on before making coffee. It was cozy, but also gained me some compliments. I work it shopping one day as well. I couldn't part with it upon my return home, so I wore it to a LuLaRoe party where I was welcomed with compliments on the dress from everyone there. Of course, this dress works perfectly with leggings. The dress is boxy and not at all flattering, so it amazes me every time someone compliments it. I do wonder if a small would look nicer than a medium, but I just don't want to send it back to try!
