Oh, so gloriously beautiful!
I wore this to a formal event in Colombia and it made me feel like a celebrity. It’s comfortable and great for warm weather, and it flows beautifully. So elegant and feminine and classical! I wore it with pasties and double sided tape as I have very little cleavage. I didn’t find a petite so the regular was a little long, but it didn’t stop me from dancing the night away while holding the dress up a little. Got tons of compliments. Wear this once or many times; it’s a beauty!

Do yourself a favor and get this
So elegant, modern and classic all at the same time, this dress is and makes you feel like a film goddess from the ‘40s. I’m medium-dark skinned and the dress is an unusual shade of latte, but because the fabric is gauzy and the dress is pleated, it’s airy, slightly translucent and works great with bold crayola green pendant earrings (or enormous emeralds if you have them). Red and gold accessories (one chunky bracelet, for example) also work well, although silver made me look a little washed out. Rent this. I’m buying it!

I felt like I was in my 60s
Nothing wrong with that, I will be there eventually, but I don’t want to rush it. It was extremely matronly, meh design. It puffed up in the wrong places, and honestly was not flattering. It might work better on lighter skin tones and taller women.

This dress made me post my first review in 6 years
I’ve had Rent The Runway since 2017 or 2018, and even though I’ve loved and bought several styles, I usually don’t have time to post a picture or go beyond the basic rating of the product. The first time I saw this dress, I knew I had to try it on, but I was a little afraid, because as a woman who is 5’1 and 110 pounds, I have issues with smocks that aren’t cinched at the waist to give me a more flattering look. I was so glad to have been made wrong by an amazing fit. True, I would probably take a little in at the sides to cinch it even more, but the beauty of the dress is its structure, and the focus is the combination of fabrics, which is very artfully done, and not loud or strident like Desigual. I wore it to a business luncheon, and I can tell you that no dress I’ve worn to this specific place in the last 11 years is as striking as this one. I’m buying it. . Do yourself a favor, think outside the box, and try it on. And keep an eye out for this truly innovative designer.

I wanted to love this dress so, so badly, but it didn't work out.
Beautiful fit and cut, and as I zipped up I thought it was a winner. Forever on the search for a LBD, this one seemed great until I saw the vast emptiness of the very large bust versus my 32-As. The zipper and collar tend to bunch up and rise mid-back, so it didn't work out. If you're a size 0 with a decent bra size and can sit up straight all day to keep that zipper and collar in check, knock yourself out. I love the designer, but this specific dress just wasn't meant for little old me.

Gorgeous, form-fitting, elegant turtleneck.
I wore it to travel, and for a work meeting, paired with a short black fabric shirt with a leather insert along the front. Great, elegant little sweater whose sparkly neck give is a fun, different kick. Thank goodness I live in Florida and have very little use for sweaters, but it came in very handy for a business trip to DC.

Elegant and elongating, it made me look statuesque at 5'1.
Elegant, understated, modern and classic at the same time. Beautiful dress!

Better fit for someone who is very large up top, narrow bottom.
It's an oddly-shaped dress. The skirt was fine; while a little flowy, it could have been cute if the wraparound were tighter. The top is loose, large, and low-waisted, so I looked bulky and big even though I am 106lbs and 5'1. Not cute; did not wear it.
