Nice
Heavyweight, so it was great for winter. The sleeves were long on me, so I rolled them in to still get that pouf look on the wrist. Otherwise, it was great.

Really lovely.
It's thinner than I anticipated for winter, but it was really kind of gorgeous in its simplicity. I just felt very elegant. It is meant to be a bit flowy, so I'd say it ran TTS to slightly large.

OK
Ran pretty large, so it enveloped me. I wore a black tank and kept the top unbuttoned to give me a bit more clarity/oomph. It was OK but not great.

Could have probably gone down a size. There was good stretch. It's not white, but this taupe color, so be aware of that.

Funny looking
Not only was it just too large but it was also just kind of funny looking. I couldn't get it to work with anything...I looked 10x larger than I am with it on. After trying 5 times to make it look OK, I eventually gave up.

Beautiful fabric. Massive.
Order 2 sizes down. Seriously. It was so large, and I was so disappointed. I was going to wear this to our first date night out since COVID, but when I put it on, even with cinching the waist considerably, my husband was like, why are you drowning in this dress?

SO BIG.
RTR suggested a size 12, and I got a 10. I wore it around the house during work, but it was SO massive. I grew 2 cup sizes & a band size during COVID (hello!), but the top was comically overwhelming. At 5'2", I also had to lift up the hem while going up/down stairs otherwise, I was definitely stepping on the bottoms.

Massive.
RTR is suggesting L or XL sizes for me, and even though I ordered a medium, this was massive. I wore it around the house during work but it just did nothing for me. I grew 2 cup sizes & a band size during COVID (hello!), but the top was still overwhelming. The pleating was non-existent. I just didn't get this.

I really loved it. I didn't mind the smocked top at all - I think that helps with a better fit in a lot of ways. It was just so lovely and easy to wear.

A bit large
It was OK - not that interesting. Didn't fit super well. I wore it around the house but not out. At 5'2", the dress hit my ankles, so long in that regard too.

Casual top but color is more fall-like.
I liked the top and it was a decent size. But the color was darker than in the image...I felt like it made more sense as a fall top vs a spring or summer top.

So so large on the top.
The print was lovely but the top was SO LARGE. 36D and a bit heavier overall, but even in the 10, the back part flopped around. It was unwearable.

Loved this, generally. The chest cut is VERY LOW, and my girls definitely were on show. Not appropriate for work at all.

Decent weekend wear
Ran true to size. The front did gap a little, so I did pin it in a couple of spots (along the waist and the bust). Otherwise, it was cute. The skirt did split open when I sat down, so I had to hold it together. But, it was a fun print.

So lovely!
I only wore it once (to a private art tour) but kept it for weeks in the hopes I'd have another chance to wear it! It was so lovely, but definitely on the fancier side. The fabric layering was very forgiving. It was not too short on me because I'm 5'2" but I could see it being too short on others.

It has pockets!
There's no stretch in this, so you will definitely want a size that fits your waist. In this way, it was true to size. Pockets were so fantastic. The main color of the dress was lovely, and it was easy to pair with a black shirt or tank. The color of the flowers isn't white, though, like it looks in the photo. It's more pink, so it didn't look great with a white shirt.

Lovely dress with great pattern. Runs large
I am usually between an 8 and a 10, and ordered a size 6. I could have probably gone down to a 4. It was lovely fabric, flowed so nicely, and was perfect for a warm/hot summer day that cooled down in the evenings. Sleeves were a bit long, but I just rolled them up. I thought about wearing a belt but it just never looked right. The one downside is that the fabric is almost see-through in the butt area, so I had to wear nude underwear. The long white tank top I wore underneath could be seen.

Fit great!
This was a great dress for work, but it was definitely heavier fabric, so a good option for a colder spring or fall day. Maybe even winter if you have tights on. I'd definitely rent again! I wore this to a meeting on Capitol Hill, but had to safety pin the top closed more since it was a bit more revealing in the chest than I wanted for that kind of meeting.

Great print
This was such a great dress that I kept it for a couple of weeks. I've worn it a handful of times now - to weekend brunch, to work, and on a recent girls weekend. I loved a lot of things about it, but I wish it were slightly tighter in the torso. I couldn't have gone down a size because the sleeves definitely wouldn't have fit and the chest area was already a bit tight. The buttons would also pop open every once in a while, so I'd have to make sure to keep an eye on it.

Lovely pattern and fabric - but revealing and fancy.
This was so lovely, but I got it for a basic weekend girl's trip in Houston. Unfortunately, it was just too revealing and a bit fancier than I needed it to be. The fabric was very nice, and it's clear that this was a piece for a special event. I didn't end up wearing it but would probably rent it again for something nice. The chest does cut low.

Too tight
I'm petite and on the larger side, so I probably should have known that this wouldn't work, but I wanted to at least TRY to rent a pair of pants. Unfortunately, my thighs were just too large for this item. Couldn't even get them on. Didn't wear. Returned immediately.

It's okay...
This ran very large, in my opinion. I think I could've gotten a small, and it would've fit better. Overall, I thought it was just okay. It made me look big, but maybe that's partially because there was so much more of the dress/shirt than I anticipated. The sleeves themselves were a bit scratchy because the stitching all along the sleeves were exposed on the inside of the dress. I wore it once but was glad I had a leather jacket to cover most of it.

Not quite right.
This was my biggest disappointment. It was lovely in so many ways, but it just was too small. If I'd had rented a size 10, it would have been too long and looked like I was playing dress up. As it was, the size 8 was already hitting mid-calf for me. The fabric was thick and the cut was fantastic, but just too small. I'd ordered it to wear on a video interview and had no time to exchange it for anything else.

Almost perfect! Warm, soft leather, looked like a million bucks!
I loved this jacket. The sleeves were a tidge long but that's not unexpected since I'm 5'2" and petite. it's warm and looks fantastic. The only thing I've received that I seriously considered buying. It was absolutely perfect for daytime, nighttime, and everything in between.

Loved this - but it's big!
I loved this dress. It was adorable and perfect for transitioning from work to a date night. I didn't feel like I had to pin the chest together, as the tie hid a lot of cleavage. However, this did run large. I felt that I could have easily gotten a size down and it would've fit better.

Cute but slides open wide.
This is super cute if you are standing still. If you walk or sit at all, the tulip-like skirt will open wide. I wore it to work without tights, and I felt extremely uncomfortable all day. BUT, I kind of love it, so I'm going to wear it with opaque black tights, and I think it'll be much more appropriate then.

Eh....
I'm 5'2", and it was just a bit too long and odd for me. Other comments about the flower-y flair on the straps is true. They don't stay "up" like they do on the model, so they are droopy and kind of weird. The straps aren't adjustable either, so I'd have had to pin them down to wear this. With the odd length and a bit of tightness around the tummy, it just wasn't worth the time to fix the straps too. Didn't wear it.

Loved this!
It hit at a good spot. Some folks said it was too short, but I thought it was perfect. I prefer my jackets a bit on the shorter side though, since I'm short (5'2"). When zipped up, there was some tightness in the back of the jacket, but nothing too hard. There wasn't really any give though, so be aware that it's not stretchy at all. The sleeves were awesome and had zips on the end, so I could "roll" up the sleeves a bit as well. Overall, I'd rent again in a heartbeat.

A bit long, hitting close to the ankle. But they were a great print and fun for a weekend vacation
I'm 5'2" and in-between a size 8 and 10. Medium fit okay at the waist -- they were a little tight but nothing I couldn't move around in. The length was a bit long for my height -- hitting more at my ankle than mid-calf. They were a super fun print for a weekend vacation in FL, and I loved the ease of being able to move freely without worry.
