Sturdy well made coat
Excellent quality but I didn't like the funnel collar, if that's what it's called. I think I'm just so used to hooded coats that when it doesn't have a hood, I feel like the collar just constantly hits you in the face, especially if it's zipped all the way up. Also, definitely not the kind of material you'd want if you have any pets at home who she'd even just a little.

I felt like I was wearing a table cloth for a patio table
The fabric was a little weird for me - it was thick but had a plasticky feel, kind of like those table cloths you'd put over a picnic table. It also seemed too blahhhh for me, especially since I suck at accessorizing. Underwhelmed with this dress and I wouldn't rent it again.

Too dressy for work but I didn't care
Love this dress and am thinking on buying it. I like the sleeve detail - I thought these kinds of sleeves wouldn't work on my body type, but it was great! Length was perfect for work and so was the neckline. It had a slightly loose fit, which I loved, but it still managed to have some structure to it (necessary for Apple-shaped people like me!)

More bodycon than I was expecting
Ordered a size larger than usual to get a slightly looser fit since I wanted to wear this to work, but it was still pretty figure-hugging...and not in the right places. If you're apple-shaped like me, skip this dress. It runs small and hugs every curve of your tummy :( Otherwise, great quality material

Plaid Fit And Flare Dress

Runs larger, only worn once, wouldn't rent again
PRO: One word: pockets! Thicker fabric made this perfect for a cold office (or cold weather in general), nice dark blue color CON: runs large - I know this is meant to be loose and flowy, but it was too loose for my liking. Sure, it hid my apple shape, but it just made me look even bigger.

Thought I'd try this for an edgier style
Muuuuuch bigger than expected. I sized up thinking I'd need room to wear bulkier tips underneath since reviews said the coat wasn't very warm. Well, I was swimming in it! Didn't use it once.

Great work dress
Little tight on the upper arms and shoulders, but otherwise, this was a great dress that hid my mid-section. Great length for work. Got a lot of compliments!
