Cute. Better if you are not long waisted.
Cute dress. The waist hit a bit high on me and I couldn't fix with a belt because the included belt is sewn on.

Better for shorter waists
As a 5'7" long waisted person, the waist just did not sit right on me. I liked the style, but it wasn't as flattering because it kept rising up onto my rib cage.

Cute
I’m in my 40s and felt a little bit like the mother of the bride at work. It was cute, but a little shiny for work. It was fine for a day, but maybe more of a special occasion dress?

Neutral with flair!
This is different from my typical wardrobe and was fun to style. The fit was perfect on me, but might be long on petite ladies. I'm 5'7" and the length was perfect. I could have worn flats, but thought it looked better with a little lift. Had great flow and I could jokingly leave a room very dramatically which was fun.

Good for pregnancy
The dress is designed to be loose fitting so it worked great for third trimester. Highly recommend for any pregnant ladies, but don’t rent it if you’re shorter. I’m 5’7” and I was just tall enough to not trip on it.

Fun jacket
I wore this in my third trimester. It looked nice both on video and in person. It’s definitely oversized but looked good. I didn’t realize you can roll up the sleeves, and really enjoyed that as an option. The jacket might swallow a petite person because of the fit.

So fun!
This was a fun dress. I wore to work but definitely a good everyday piece. It was cold the day I wore it so I layered. I definitely looked like a throwback horsewoman but I rolled with it and it was fun. Got lots of compliments.

So great!
This dress was better for a warm spring day than I expected. It was comfortable and flattering and I loved the print. One thing to keep in mind, if you're walking around outside and there's any kind of breeze, you might be giving people a show. Just something to be mindful of if it's a breezy day.

Great work dress
I rented the 4 although I normally wear a 6. I wished I had the 6 but I was able to make the 4 work. So I think the dress is true to size and you should order your normal size. The dress was simple overall but had a great weight to it. It also hid any tummy flaws which was great because I wore this dress all day and well into the evening. I definitely recommend this for work events.

Big!
I didn't get to wear this because it was AT LEAST one size too big. I am almost always a 6 and this dress gaped on me. I would side down at least one if not two sizes. I wish I could have worn it because it was very well made and had some interesting sealing on it.

Fun change for fall
I'm almost always a size 6 and the medium fit true to size. I think this is a fun skirt to try out. It's not my normal style but I have gotten a lot of compliments and it's a great piece you can layer for fall. I'm wearing it at work but it could definitely be more of a casual choice too. It's kind of a throw back looking piece like a "cool school marm". (That's what my coworkers finally decided anyhow.) This skirt is probably best for taller ladies though as it's fairly long on me and I'm 5'7".

Cute comfy work dress
Others recommended sizing down so I got the small and overall it fits perfect. It's a couple inches shorter than I normally wear for work but still totally appropriate. It's a really pretty navy/midnight purple color and the tie on the waist was easy. Overall great dress for a day in the office.

Fun summery dress!
This dress is adorable on. I don't have a large bust, so my regular size was a little looser, but overall the fit was good. I did have to iron this extensively before wearing and I don't think it would travel well. I struggled a little with tying the straps in a way that was cute because that's not one of my talents. Overall a great weekend dress.

Cute, but definitely for tall people
I enjoyed wearing the dress. I think I could have gone a size down, but it was borderline. You can tighten the waistline using the belt buckle tassel in the back, but when I tightened it all the way the extra fabric from the buckle hung weirdly, so I safety pinned it in place. I'm 5'7" and I generally find I have a longer torso and this dress was almost too long in the torso for me. This dress would be great on a taller lady or long waisted folks like me that are slightly tall. I would not recommend for average or petite height ladies both because of the waist and overall length which was mid-calf on me. I wore this both with a navy blazer buttoned to the top for work and more casual for dinner with the top few buttons undone down to the bustline. I thought it was cute both ways.

Fun color!
I'm almost always a 6 and rented the medium. If I could do it over I would get the small. It wasn't so big I couldn't wear it, but there was room in the fitted portion and I was tugging it up a bit, and it's stretchy so sizing down might be a good idea. (Maybe if you have a larger chest the dress is more tts). I thought it was fun for an around the town casual dress.

Cute but not amazing
The fit was good overall. I wish that the tie on the wrap was longer because it didn't really leave the right amount for an even bow. I had to pin the top because I wore to work. One person commented that I should be frolicking in a field, so if that's the mood you're in this is your dress! Good rental.

Meh
I was excited to try an all mustard dress but this just wasn't great. A) the built in belt doesn't tighten so it kind of hangs there and doesn't help create a nice shape. I think you'd have to pin it to get it to stay. B) the dress was unlined and the material felt cheap. C) the dress was too big and had extra material especially in my hip area. If you want to try this dress I think it would be best on an hour glass figure and be prepared to work your magic on the useless belt. I did not wear.

Fun changeup for work
I was unsure about lavender, but I ended up really liking it. I opted not to do the matching pants since I'm not that bold and went with a navy instead. I thought it looked good and was still professional looking. I also wore a small lacy tank underneath for coverage. I thought this was a fun piece and flattering.

Cute weekend dress
I wore this to a casual BBQ. It was a nice flowy dress. The bust was slightly large on me and the skirt has a lot of material so it almost levitates around you. Overall I thought it was flattering even though it wasn't very fitted. A note that the skirt is unlined. I wore nude underwear and it was not noticeable, but I mention it for those that might be more conservative.

Fantastic work dress
I was nervous about the light color fabric showing every imperfection. But the material had a good weight to it and the dress was lined so I felt comfortable and confident. I wore with a white blazer and it looked great. Lots of compliments.

Great throwback look
Really enjoyed this dress for a different look at work. I pinned the top so it didn't gape open and it stayed and looked great all day. You can be creative with the belt too wrapping a couple times which makes it easier to style.

Fun day to night dress
I sized down and it fit perfect. Others noted that the top had a lot of room, but I found once you put the belt on and tucked everything together it looked really great. I loved the print and it was a great shape to both flatter you and make room for a large meal. I wore with a navy blazer during the day, but it had such a variety of colors so you could wear with almost anything.

Great versatile top
The top fit nicely and has a nice weight and feel. Some of the button loops were a little stretched out so I safety pinned it just in case. You could wear this with anything from jeans to a suit. So really versatile.

Just ok
The top part took a little time to get tied right. It's cute. But a little more low cut in front than I'm used to. Very comfy material though. Would be great on a beach vacation.

Great work dress
This dress is more versatile than I thought. Wore with a gray blazer to a board meeting with heels and then wore with dressy sandals for the afternoon in the office. For a black dress it has lots of nice details and the construction is really thick and feels good. I also didn't realize it has pockets, which is always a fantastic surprise.
