Cute for work
I wore this top with regular suit pants and realized that a slimmer pant would have been more flattering since the top drops well below the waist.

Sleeves are too short
I liked the fabric but the sleeves were too short to wear, and they can't be rolled back, so I couldn't wear it

Beautiful dress
I loved the fact that I didn't have to wear high heels with this dress. A moderate heel was perfect.

Cuter in person
The dress looks fairly plain in the photo but I think it looks much cuter when you're wearing it. I even received a few compliments. Wore it to a work conference with a black blazer, tights and flats and it was a nice pulled-together look. It is a pretty simple dress but doesn't fit like a sack, it's more tailored than it might seem and the slit in the back helps break up the silhouette a bit.

Unique Look
I wore this to the office and liked that it looked different than your typical work top. I was a little nervous about the fabric because it felt sort of thin and delicate but I had no issues. Paired well with a simple black pant to let the top be the focus.

Versatile jacket
I have longish arms so the sleeves were a bit short on the jacket but the fit was cute overall. I probably could have gone up to a small and it would have fit more comfortably. Several colleagues asked me where I got it. I wore this to work a couple of times, once on casual Friday and slightly more dressed up on a regular work day. I like the versatility of the jacket.

Ended up not wearing it
The material is pretty thick which make the overall fit a little too bulky for me. I did not like the thickness of the material around the bust line and because I have a high waist the material around the crotch and booty area was a little too droopy and frumpy.

So cute!
This is a nice, casual dress in the front with a flair in the back. I received so many compliments on it. I wore this during the day for lunch with friends and then wore it to dinner for a friend's birthday that evening. It held up well, even though lunch was outside in very warm weather. The material is substantial, not flimsy, and the dress fits slim and straight.

Nice, simple dress
The dress fit perfectly and I had no issues with it. I wore it to work with an open black cardigan and it was perfect. There's nothing spectacular about the dress for me but the pattern does add a nice changeup from your typical sheath.

Church celebration
I wore this to a Sunday mass followed by a congregation celebration but could have easily worn it to the office. I really liked this dress a lot and received compliments on it. The only issue I had, which is not uncommon for dresses, it the placement of zipper. It ends in a spot that cause the dress to pucker on your behind so I found myself needing to pull it down in the back repeatedly to avoid that unflattering look. I don't know why dress designers don't make the zippers go further down the dress in order to avoid this. I wore a thin green open sweater over the dress to cover my bum so that remedied the issue.

The sleeves!
I didn't wear this dress. When I tried it on, I thought the ties at the sleeves were distracting and a little "too much" for my liking. The material was thicker than I thought it would be so the ties looked like these giant knots sticking out from my shoulders. It was almost comical.

Well worn
I rented this dress thinking I would wear it to work but it looked a little too well worn and had an overused look that I didn't like. The dress puckered in the rear where the zipper ended and didn't lay flat which would have caused me to tug and pull the dress down periodically so I decided not to wear it and returned it instead.

So many compliments!
I rented this dress for a gala and it was such a hit. I received non-stop compliments all night and felt so beautiful in this dress. It was the perfect choice. I wore slightly shorter heels (I think 2.5") which was juuuuust enough that I could walk in the dress without tripping. I found myself lifting it in the front as I walked anyway, just to be on the safe side. One issue with this dress, however, is the zipper. When I first tried it on I didn't think I'd get the zipper up at all (zips on the side) and took it on an off twice to play with the zipper and figure out how to move it up. Luckily I was able to zip the night of the event, though I was really scared that I would tug too hard and rip the dress (and then have nothing to wear!).

Not a work dress
I thought the material would be thicker and heavier but it was more of a stretchy rayon. It's cute, form-fitting and I loved the color-blocking. It's just not work-appropriate (at least not in a professional setting). I thought about wearing it with a blazer to try to camouflage the fit but I wouldn't be able to get away with it.

Comfortable and feminine
I previously rented the Shoshonna Blue Stitch Kiera Dress and really liked that dress as well. They are similar. This dress is fitted but not constrictive. The material is knit and I wore it with black stockings because of the chillier weather. Great work dress as the length was modest and it obviously doesn't expose much skin but you could easily go out after work in this and not feel like you're dressed to stuffy.

Terrible fit
This top looks pretty but fits terribly. I could barely keep the shoulders on without them slipping off which meant it was too risky to wear for fear of flashing everyone. I'm not sure how others have been able to wear this top at all. I don't have narrow shoulders to I'm baffled.

Didn't like and didn't wear
I tried on this top and immediately did not like it. The material is thick and stiffer than I thought it would be and it didn't drape, as it seems to on other women who wore it. Instead, the fabric kind of shot out from the peak of my breasts in a really unflattering way. And I'm small chested. Didn't wear it.

Perfect for rooftop party
This dress fit perfectly and I loved the open back which added a nice surprise. The material is on the thick and heavy enough that I didn't worry about it flying up but it was light enough that it worked well for an outdoor event. The dress hit above the knee and I wore it with white, low top converse Chuck Taylors to make it a little more casual and it was perfect. I considered buying this dress.

Wore this to a show
I wore this dress to a breakfast and then to a matinee performance of a musical and received a lot of compliments on it. The dress is loose and kind of billowy so if you're at all conscious of your figure this dress should work well for you. There's a tie in the back that allows you to tighten the dress around the chest area a bit which is nice. It does have extra material on the sides that stick out a bit but not in an unflattering way. This is a dress I would rent again, for warm weather months.

Great for a Sunday brunch
The dress fit great and the material is weighty enough that it feels substantial but light enough for warm weather. I wore it to a high school reunion brunch and it was perfect for a sunny day. I'm 5'5" and the dress hung to just below my knees. I would definitely rent it again someday.

Cute, casual dress
The dress fit perfectly and I liked the fact that I could adjust the tightness of the wrap enough to fit me, which is a problem sometimes since I'm small-chested. I describe this as a "breezy" dress because it's very light and a gust of wind could definitely blow the skirt up. I found myself holding it down a few times to be on the safe side. The material is light, thin (not see-through, per se) and great for a warm day when you want to be cute but kind of casual as well.

I wore this dress to a daytime musical performance and received so many compliments from people throughout the day. It looks better in person and the material is so unique and eye-catching that you will definitely be noticed wearing it. I felt very stylish in this dress.

Cute but maybe better for bigger chests
I loved this outfit and it looked great on me. I received so many compliments on it, everywhere I went. The challenge for me is that I'm an A cup and so I had to be careful about how I moved in it so that my adhesive bra didn't show. If I leaned forward at all, I felt like people could see a little too much. So perhaps a B cup or bigger would be a better fit

Beautiful bold color, fit really well and the material was solid. I wore this to an outdoor evening concert and it was perfect. I could see dressing this up with a skirt as well. I almost purchased this.

Cute and feminine
I wore this dress for a panel I sat on and it was perfect. The dress fit really well but the material is not forgiving so if you have a tummy this dress won't hide it. I liked that the material was also heavy enough that I didn't have to worry about it flying up if a gust of wind caught it but it wasn't so heavy that I couldn't wear it on a spring-like day. This is a dress I would rent again in heartbeat.

Cute and versatile
This top is fitted and well structured. I'm not sure there's a lot of stretch for larger chested women but for me it fit perfectly. The bustle in the back was a cute touch. My friend overheard someone complimenting this top as we walked by and I definitely felt cute wearing it. My only issue was that the item I received had been damaged and there was a weird spot/stain on the front. My friend saw it immediately but I wore the top anyway, hoping it wouldn't be super noticeable.

Cute, unique top
The top fit perfectly and I loved that it was so different looking. My grandmother could not stop complimenting me on it. Thought I could wear it to work but it didn't look good with a blazer so I opted to pair it with jeans on the weekend. I don't see wearing this top with anything but a fitted bottom, given the flare, which creates a nice silhouette.

Sexy, fun dress!
It runs small but I found that the small fit me better than the medium because I'm small-chested and the bust area hugged me better with the smaller size. I wore this to a club night in Vegas and never received more compliments on a dress. It was perfect for the occasion. I saw some other reviewers mention the fact that the sequins are scratchy and I concur. I included pictures of my arms after a night in this dress so you can see how scratched up I was. It looked like a cat attacked me and my arms burned when I took a hot shower that night. So, if you're able to walk with your arms out from your sides, like a cop wearing a holster, you can avoid the scratching. I'm just not sure the scratches are worth it. I also kept pulling hairs off the dress from previous wearers that had gotten stuck in the sequins.

I loved this dress. It made me feel tall and elegant and I received a lot of compliments on it.
It fit great everywhere except it was too long. I would have needed platform heels to make it skim at just the right length. Instead, I wore 2" heels because I really don't like wearing super high heels to weddings. So I tried using hem tape, which kept getting stuck to my shoe as I walked. It changed the way the dress hung at the bottom but not in a really noticeable way. For reference, I am 5'5" and have a 25"/26"-inch waist and a small bust. For ladies who are a bit taller or who don't mind wearing higher heels, I highly recommend this dress.
