A real statement piece -- and prettier in person!
I wore this in June to a work conference I organized. I actually had some buyer's remorse after I placed my order -- I worried that it was too green/too '90s/too sailor-y with the gold buttons. (I did buy a simple beige slip after reading the reviews that the material of the skirt is rather see-through). Even as I was leaving home that morning I wondered, "Is this too weird?" But when I got to the conference venue, the compliments started flowing and kept coming all day. Even the next day someone said to me, "You were the one wearing that amazing green dress!" This dress is memorable! The color is so striking and the material drapes in such a flattering way! Regarding size -- this is so stretchy I think I could have sized down and been fine. It did seem to get a bit longer as I wore it. I would rent again for another dressy work event, or for something at church!

The cutest I've ever looked
I wore this last June to a work conference I planned, and I don't think my body has ever looked better than in this silky stretchy retro DVF jumpsuit! I felt so confident and sexy professional -- I was floating all day! I have been looking to buy this second-hand online for less than $150 ever since. My only note is that the pattern appears kind of beige/tan which tends to wash me out, and since I started hunting to buy this, I realized DVF has more colorful prints!

So so cute! Not super easy to wear.
This was 1 of 3 outfits I rented for a work conference. Of the 3, this was my favorite! but it wasn't super easy to wear. - The color was so amazing (one of my fave colors but I've never gotten to wear it before! ) and the fabric was so light and airy. I loved that people thought the wide-leg pants were a dress. - As others have commented, the zipper is difficult. Luckily my husband helped me figure out how to make it work - - hook the top, stretch the fabric from the front and hold it with the sides of your hands, and pull down on the section you've already zipped with one hand, to create enough tension to get the thing closed, while you pull up with the other hand! I practiced until I got it a few times the night before, and was able to do it myself just fine, the two times I had to pee. - When I first got it on, it was uncomfortably tight on the top, but the fabric seemed to relax in the first 30 minutes until it felt fine. - I had to satefy pin the straps to the top because they were too long for me and I still really liked the look. But when I got cold, I just tied my white button - up in the front and it just looked like I had fun pants on. - Actually a very subtle sweetheart neckline. - Wish I could've kept it, even though it was a bit finicky!

Bright, vintage-feeling fun!
This was 1 of 3 outfits I rented for a work conference. Loved it -- so easy to wear! And SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! - Definitely size down - - I don't know if I've ever worn a size 2 dress before, but the 4 was ginormous on me and the 2 was pretty perfect - Added an off-white belt to cinch my waist and break up the pattern a bit. - The red is very orange red, IMO. And I didn't realize online that the pattern is little hearts! - I had to use a safety pin to avoid my bra showing in the front. - I was the conference planner, and people said this dress made me super easy to spot - - like a beacon! - It was so flouncy, feminine, and cute. And had super deep pockets. - Didn't want to give this back!

Comfortable, stylish, and slinky
This jumpsuit was 1 of 3 outfits I rented for a work conference. I really liked it! - For this one, I got both the MR and the SR. The medium was WAY too big. But the small fit me, if not still a bit too big? But I was super comfortable standing AND sitting (meaning it didn't cut off circulation to my crotch!) - I liked the look and feel of the fabric - - luxurious like silk pajamas. - Loved the closure situation. The front zip, hook & eye, and tie closure made me feel very secure up top, when sometimes jumpsuits have a lot of fabric in the chest. Thought this was good for my pear shape. - Was hard for me to figure out what to layer over it (for a hyper-air-conditioned space and modesty at a work event) The black on black felt a little too black to me. - Wore with high heels - - flats would've almost worked for me, but it would've dragged on the ground a tiny bit. - I couldn't tell what the colors of the pattern were online - they're jewel tones: fuschia, burnt orange, and a deep teal.

Didn't wear
This one was added for me by a stylist when a dress I chose wasn't available. It wasn't my style, but I think if I was acting in a play set in the Old West, this dress would have fit the occasion.

I wore this dress to my bridal shower!
I was surprised that this dress was navy because I thought it looked black in the photos! It was so fun to wear. I added a belt to break up the pattern a little bit and accentuate my waist, because it felt like so I was wearing so many yards of fabric, but I don't think you could actually see the belt. Kind of hard to walk in, but I was barefoot at the party, so maybe in heels I wouldn't have been tripping.

I chose not to wear these.
They were huge! I guess I missed the "statement" part of the description. But for me, the issue wasn't even so much their size, but their droopiness, which I think was due to their weight and the mid-bloom state of the flower.

I wore this dress to a floral themed bridal shower.
This dress was easy to wear and it felt good on — the fabric was kind of silky and fluttery and the sleeves felt very feminine. But in photos it looked a little like I was wearing a bag. Nice dress, just not super figure-flattering. Maybe because the fabric had no stretch and the wrap does more to hide the body than show it off.

I didn't wear this one to my bridal shower.
I fussed and fussed and still couldn't get the dress to wrap right, or the safety pin to close the top sufficiently without being obvious. The fabric and cut is beautiful though. I thought the R might be too long based on other reviews, but would have been the perfect length.
