Too short for work
Runs small and despite the tweed it is entirely too short to wear to work. Fabric is thick and boxy around stomach area; not flattering. I didn't wear.

Runs VERY small
I ordered two sizes up from my normal size in NM dresses and couldn't even zip this one up. Very disappointing. Order a back up size MUCH bigger.

Super small but pretty dress
I sized up after reading reviews and it was still too small! I'm 5'6, 132 lbs, 34D, normally wear a 2. The 4 didn't fit (zipped up but I couldn't breathe). I recommend sizing up 2 sizes. Otherwise it's a lovely dress--pretty cut and color. I'm bummed I didn't get to wear it!
Royal Blue Ice Cut Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Sexy, work-appropriate
Thick fabric, cool block coloring; overall a great rental. The sleeves started getting a bit itchy throughout the day, around my forearms... and the arms were very tight, so that was a little uncomfortable. But the dress fits like a glove and is a little stretchy/forgiving.

Chevron Dress
Milly
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 34D
Beautiful color, rent for the look--not for warmth!
Runs large and only has two buttons so if you're looking for something to actually keep you warm, this isn't ideal. But I rented during a particularly warm February in NYC and it was perfect. The slanted cut at the hem was unique, and there's a beautiful pattern on the lining. Overall a completely fabulous rental. Runs big though, so size down if you want a less boxy fit.

Peacock Blue Finola Coat
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 34D
Chic and comfy--will definitely rent again!
Thick fabric and flattering cut--very slimming. The collar and cuffs are actually gray--not white, and are much thinner than pictured. Also the dress I had didn't have the pleats as shown in the model picture. But this was still one of my favorite rentals! I was comfortable all day at work, and the length was perfect for transitioning from work to happy hour.

Beautiful piece--DVF is really good with wrap dresses! Comfy.
Definitely have to wear a cami underneath--lots of cleavage. The dress was comfortable but if you wear it with tights you'll get a lot of static cling.

Beautiful dress but runs WAY small. Order at least two sizes up.
I ordered my normal size and a back up larger size after reading the reviews. The larger back up size wouldn't even zip. Super disappointing. If you have any sort of curves, order at least two sizes up, and maybe get a size larger for your backup. Good quality fabric and adorable design; the dress is lined so I don't think there would have been issues with not wearing a bra. Wish it had fit!

Comfy and classy
I loved this dress SO much. I wore it to a work cocktail party (resort chic attire), and received many compliments. My one trouble with the skirt was that it was far too long and therefore difficult to walk in. I was wearing 3 1/2 inch heels and it was still dragging on the floor, and when I stood up after dinner, my heel snagged on the fabric and ripped it. :( Overall, though, a beautiful dress. The pleats and the pattern were unique and the bodice was structured nicely--didn't even have to wear a bra. I paired it with a black cotton shrug that I removed later in the evening.

Cute, chic, work-appropriate
I rented this for a family event but ended up just wearing it to work instead because the weather was too chilly the day of the event. It's super comfortable and I received tons of compliments! Would definitely rent again.

Sexy but still modest. Great for dancing!
Good fit; hugged in all the right areas. The slit is sexy but not too deep, and the neckline showed the right amount of cleavage (I was at a coworker's wedding, so overall, modesty was pretty important). My date liked it!
