Odd fit
The shirt is cute, and I like the material, but the arm holes are huge. I had to wear a bralette, then keep pulling the shirt down so that the area around the arm hole would flatten out.

simple, elegant but fun dress. the material is great but also a little clingy so the line at the top of my stockings was clearly visible- better for the in between seasons where you still want long sleeves but don't need to wear thick leggings.

adorable dress
the dress was really pretty, the color a true ivory. the nude slip attached to it does wonders to hide whatever color underwear, etc you wear underneath. there are 2 big problems for me though: (1) you have to wear it with a strapless bra or else you see not just bra straps, but the part where the bra/strap meet and (2) it's tight in the upper arm, shoulder area (and i'm small there) so i did not have a lot of range of motion.

Warmer than expected!
It's kinda short, and the sleeves are open in the back, so I didn't expect this sweater to be as cozy as it is. I wore it with semi-high waisted jeans and a tank top underneath. Could wear to work then out for dinner/on a date. It would not be appropriate for work in many offices without a shirt underneath because even with high-waist pants there is still about a half inch of belly showing.

Love it so so much
This dress is amazing. It's sexy AND adorable. I felt amazing. Got amazing compliments. I'm still wearing it. Never taking it off. It fits true to size- hugs curves, hides minor flaws. Not too short but not conservative.

The sleeves!
I have a love/hate relationship with this dress. I'll start by noting that I have a large chest and relatively wide (but not super wide) hips, and I'm 5'8". So I think it may fit differently if you're more narrow, shorter, curvier, etc. the material hugs you. Anyway.. The top half is amazing- the bell sleeves are super cute and I got a lot of compliments on them. It was form fitting, but the very conservative neckline balanced it out well. The bottom- it's bandage style material, so it rode up really easily when I moved, and it was short to begin with! I rented this for a Valentine's Day date/party so I was walking and dancing a lot and feeling very self conscious about exposing too much all night. I don't think sizing up would have helped me bc the top fit so perfectly.

super soft!
the dress is thicker and much softer than i expected- both pleasant surprises! it's also really cute. the only issue i have with it is that that arm holes are a little bit to big, so for wearing it to work and/or without a sweater, I need hollywood tape to feel secure that my bra won't show.

Cute LBD!
Textured, tight- yet - conservative little black dress. It's super versatile- I wore it to work, but it could easily transition to a date, night out with friends, wedding, anything! The fabric has a decent amount of stretch so it fit the random parts of my body that aren't always a true size 4 just right.

Great Color
I really liked this dress- the color is a deep green, and it was simple enough that it worked well for work, but i could also picture wearing it to a fancier event, with the right accessories. the material is thicker than i expected, which was good, it felt like good quality. my only complaint would be that it is a little roomy in the mid section (between breasts & belly), but it didn't matter much, i don't think anyone but me noticed. There is no zipper, and not much stretch, so while i felt it ran large, i chose "true to size" because i'd still order your regular size to avoid attempting to "squish" into it and not getting to enjoy this dress!

flattering style
i liked the style of the dress a lot. my only complaint is that the top portion of the dress was way too roomy: i couldn't wear a bra (even a strapless), because i did not have one that would not show on the sides, and without a bra i was really worried about the material exposing too much of me.

warm and understated sparkles
The sweater was pretty, and the material was heavier than expected so it kept me warm, but something about the cut of it was just...off. the sequins were not itchy as the material underneath kept them from touching my skin- that is always a plus!

Fun!
I loved this dress- it's understated and was perfect fora slightly dressy party. I'm 5'8" and it was a little short, but it's the middle of winter in NYC so i was wearing opaque black leggings with it so it didn't matter. The dress is also a little tight in the bust, but it's stretchy on that part so it was fine.

Awkwardly cut
Based on the model pictures, I had no idea there were slits on the side. At first I though, ok, that could be sexy, but they were just weird, and way too high. The shirt did not hang down anywhere near my body (likely because my bust is on the larger side), so trying to wear a sweater to show less skin only made it worse.

Really comfortable, vibrant color
The dress fit great, and it was super versatile. I was able to wear it to work, and to a holiday party. It's a decently heavy material so it was fine for NYC December paired with thick black stockings, but i feel like it would also work just fine for the other seasons too (with different footwear). Will definitely rent again.

AWESOME DRESS
I loved this dress so much. I wore it to work with black knit stockings and black booties and got compliments all day. Good balance of conservative and sexy. It's not super forgiving around the mid section because it's a little tight, but that gets balanced by the cut and design. I forgot to take a picture, but I'm sure I'll rent it again.

not as cute as the pics
I couldn't wear it for more than 10 minutes, the fabric was incredibly uncomfortable. The mock turtle neck also wouldn't stay up, but was also sort of stiff, so it just looked awkward rather than stylish or cozy. perhaps it would work better on someone with more shoulders than me, but i looked like i was wearing a bag covered with stars.

All over gorgeous
I looooove love love this dress. The colour is deeper than I expected (that's not a bad thing). The bottom moves with you when you walk and spin. It was classy and sexy- lots of compliments (and some stares that may not have been totally approving but I can handle that). The 2R was a little tight for my chest area (I'm a 32DD) but the 4R straps were loose. I chose the 4R and had to be super careful not to reveal any more than the sweetheart neckline already did. It didn't bother me though.. And I'd buy this dress if I could.

Chic
I ended up not wearing this because the plans changed. However, I wish I had something else to wear it to that weekend because it was super sexy. I wasn't sure if I should click runs large or not. The bottom fit great, but the top was a little large- and that is rare for me (and the smaller size, the bottom was tight but the top was ok). It's possible the size 4 I had was just overworn and stretched out.

So flowy!
The gown was a little tight around the chest, but that was actually a good thing since you can't really wear a bra. Sometimes I felt like the way it fell made me lose my shape because it starts flowing out well above my hips, so I was hesitant to wear it. But then I walked- and the fabric on the bottom moves so beautifully: someone used the word "ethereal." I was also pleasantly surprised at the versatility of this dress. I wore it to a non-traditional yet semi-formal wedding dinner and it fit the occasion, but it also could have been dressed up more or less very easily.

Best. Dress. EVER.
I loved everything about this dress. As much as I try to avoid re-wearing things, I would have bought this one and worn it over and over if I could afford it. The fit was flattering and comfortable. I got compliments all night (even I couldn't help but admire it every time I passed a mirror). It photographed well. It was subtly sexy but fit right in at a black tie optional wedding. The only small problem was that the bottom was sort of folded inward (it's hard, not just fabric) and I didn't have time to figure out how to bend it and keep it in the right position.

I wish this one fit!
The dress was super cute, I am really sad it didn't fit. The size 2 didn't fit my chest, but the shoulder straps were really loose (that's why I didn't know whether to choose "runs small" or "runs large").

The bottom of this dress is spectacular!
I wore this to a white party and received so many compliments- friends, family, random strangers on the subway... But it's probably not a good dress if you tend to be self conscious in a dress that highlights imperfections. It sort of hugs around the stomach in weird way, and the fabric in the back bunches up a bit making it look like you have a tail. I'm not sure if sizing down would have helped or if it was just an unfortunate cut of fabric. I liked it better without a bra, I felt too squished when I tried to wear one. Luckily, that worked out fine.

Beautiful and Comfortable
I loved this dress. I wore it to a wedding rehearsal dinner so it was a little more casual than the main event. The material was thick for June, but it was too pretty for me to really care. It was a fun color and very comfortable (and the pockets were cute). The only negative for me was that it showed a lot of cleavage (well, not cleavage so much as the "boob crack" because of the cut of the dress). I am a 32DD so that is a constant issue with designer/fancy dresses.
