This dress is dainty and lovely
I loved the lightweight feel of the silk, and the colors were very pretty. I have rented and worn this dress on a couple of different occasions, and decided to buy it when the RTR price was right. :)

comfortable and flattering
Really liked the way this dress draped! Very flattering on a pear shape. I probably could have sized down, but liked this too. Wore it with a waist purse (fanny pack!) to chaperone a dance, and liked how it looked belted.

Cute and sooo comfortable
This dress is made of super soft gauzy cotton that kept me cool even on a hot humid day. Lots of compliments on the style, and felt great in it. Will definitely be renting again soon!

Perfect slightly oversize jacket for everday/work.
Wore this a few times while I rented it - work, dinner out, etc. easy to dress down or up. Fit really comfortably, and wasn't too lightweight or heavy.

cozy, but a little too small
I normally wear a 6 or 8 on top, but definitely should have gone for an 8 in this coat/sweater. The shoulders were too narrow for me, and the overall fit was just too snug. I thought the weight was pretty heavy - probably a little much for a fall day in TX, but would have been great in a colder climate.

cute warm jacket
This jacket was comfortable and cute, but warmer than I expected... Pulled it out for a "cool" Texas morning a little too early in the season! I'm usually inbetween an M and L for jackets, and this L did not offer a lot of extra room or arm length.

comfy and easy to dress up or down
This skirt was actually really flattering, even on my pear shape. The length was just right, and the side slit gave it really nice movement.

lots of compliments
I thought this top was cute from the picture, but not necessarily anything special. But I got so many compliments on this top. The one little drawback was that the neckline was a little low on me. I tied the collar ties in a bow, so they covered up a little more of the neckline to make it more work appropriate.

looked too similar to a school uniform
The dress is a really flattering shape, though just a touch on the tight side in the hips (I'm rather pear shaped). I wore it with a white collared shirt underneath so my shoulders and arms would be covered. However, I work at a school where girls wear plaid uniforms, and this was just too similar to the student outfits for me to want to wear again. (I think it would've worked better with a fitted blazer to make it office appropriate.) But if you're going for an updated, sophisticated, school uniform look, this is a cute dress!

Beatiful dress but too big
The dress was so lovely and I wanted it to work, but it was a little too loose in the waist to be flattering. I'm pear shaped, 155 lbs, and 5'9". A size 6 would have fit perfectly, but the 8 was recommended.

cute loose-fitting top with nice embroidered detail
The top is loose fitting and breezy, and the fabric is high quality. Overall, this was a super cute top paired with jeans for Casual Friday at work.
