Loved this piece - conservative with a little flair
I wore this piece several times and had many compliments on it. It is simple but noteworthy because it is a jumpsuit. Only complaint is that it draped open in the front. I wore a black bra and fashion tape to keep it closed. Also wore once with a scarf. If not for this, I would have bought it. Felt great wearing it.

Great vest but a little worn looking
I loved this vest but it had obviously been loved by others before me. It looked like it had been frequently dry cleaned and lacked crispness. This would be a GREAT piece if newer. I wore it anyways but if it were in my own closet, it would have already been retired.

Nice color but a little worn looking
I liked this jacket. I work it over a black dress as well as with a white tee, jeans and peep toe sandals. But I didn't love this jacket. It was a little tight across the bust and it looked a little worn. Might have been because it pulled a little across the bust. If I get it again, I'll try the Large however I know the sleeves will be too long. Too bad because I wanted to LOVE it.

Gorgeous color, tight fit
I rented this to wear to a wedding and after reading the reviews, decided to keep to a size 10. Big mistake. Should have rented the 12. It was fine through the hips but very tight through the rib cage. This the opposite problem that I usually have with my wider hips and small waist. Will rent again but the bigger size.

Very comfortable, very flattering casual dress
I've worn this dress a couple of times since I rented it and have loved it. Very flattering cute. It's low in the front but the stretchy fabric keeps everything close to the body. I wore it my son's piano recital with wedges, to church with pumps and a cardigan and to brunch with flats. Very versatile dress. Biggest surprise is that my husband LOVED it. He thought is was one of the most flattering casual dresses I've worn in awhile.

Super cute romper!
I'm long waisted and took a chance on ordering this. I'm happy I gave it a chance although I would like it to be about an inch longer. It is super cute on and I received tons of compliments on it when I've worn it. It's conservative but fun to wear.

Great boho dress
The dress fit perfectly and color was gorgeous. I loved the higher neckline. I ended up not wearing it however because the armholes were cut to show more of the front part of my shoulder than I wanted to show at this event. The cut was similar to a tank top on the sides. Just a little too casual for this event.

Gorgeous dress but long in the back
I loved everything about this dress except my heels kept getting caught in the hi-low hemline. Although it looked great, the back of the dress was almost full length on my 5' 5" frame. I ended up gathering up the back while going up and down stairs after almost falling a couple of times. I loved the dress however. But next time would wear with wedges. My high heels were a disaster waiting to happen.

Gorgeous dress but very small in the rib cage.
Unfortunately, I didn't really listen to the reviews. This dress was so small in the rib cage that I couldn't zip it up. Beautiful dress however. I may try it again in another size. Love the color.

Beautiful, classy dress
This dress fit wonderfully. It is a classy, understated dress that would be perfect for a dressy affair. I ended up not wearing it because the open back didn't look great on me since it showed the sides of my waist. I wasn't comfortable showing that much skin for this particular event. If I was 10 pounds thinner, I would have been more comfortable. Great dress however. Wish it would have worked for me.

I've worn this blouse a couple of times and received many compliments each time. It is conservative but not stuffy. Works great with white flared denim and heels as well as straight white denim and flats. Very versatile blouse.

Great color, unexpected piece
I wore this vest to a marketing conference that I attended. My goal was to look a little funky yet pulled together. I work with a white blouse, dark skinny jeans and black peep toe booties. The look was great! My only comment is the vest is made of very warm, heavy material. It ok because it wasn't too hot out today. I would not wear this in later spring or summer. I would roast!!

Great, basic wrap dress
I love DVF wrap dresses and this one didn't disappoint. It is a basic black and while print that works in most conservative of settings. These tend to wrap lower in the front that I like so I always wear a cami underneath to avoid showing too much. Would possibly rent again but it is similar to other things in the my closet.

Great traditional work or cocktail dress.
I loved the color of this dress. It's a more blue-red which works well with my skin tone. The dress is simple so it was perfect to show off my bold jewelry. Great dress. Will likely rent this again.

Terrific, versatile dress that looks better in person that the picture.
I've really enjoyed the versatility of this dress. I've worn it with a white blouse underneath with brown peep toe booties to a business casual work function. Had many many compliments. I also wore out to dinner minus blouse and wearing black high vamp sandals.

The dress fit well but the color completely washed me out. Not as pretty as I expected.
I wanted to love this dress but it just didn't work. The cream was not as crisp as I expected. Very well made however. And would be gorgeous on someone with pink/blue undertones to their skin.

Great dress for a wedding
Loved this dress. I wore it for Easter and it was a perfect combination of conservative style but fresh looking fabric. I wear either a 10 or 12 but ended up going with the 12 for a little more room. Wonderful quality construction on the dress. Lots of snaps and hooks to keep the dress wrapped on a windy day while supervising my kids hunting for Easter eggs.

Beautiful dress although a little short waisted
Wanted to loved this dress but it just didn't fit me right. I have a long waist and it just didn't hit in the right place in the back. Beware if you have wider hips and are long-waisted.

Wonderful dark red dress that stands out in a sea of black.
Loved the color of this dress although it was darker than in the pictures. It's definitely a "blue" red which worked wonderfully with my skin tone. Definitely needed a high-waisted shapers. It is very fitted through the torso and shows every bump. Work with nude patterned hose and nude shoes. Very classy.

Pretty but too heavy for my thin ear lobes
I got these through a mystery bling deal so didn't have a chance to see them before they arrived. The style was perfect with my dress but they were too heavy for my thin ear lobes. They gave me a headache after about 30 minutes. Fortunately I brought back-up earrings because I was concerned they were going to bother me. If you have nice, big earlobes, these would be great however. Definitely look like costume jewelery but decent quality.

Wonderful, bright, high quality dress that was a dream to wear.
I wore this dress to my birthday party. Wanted something that was bright, fun and comfortable since we were sitting outside in a garden restaurant. This dress was perfect! Unlike many of the dresses I have rented before, this is a dress I would wear often if I owned it. It is perfect many different types of occasions - summer weddings, baby showers, work functions. Very versatile.

Wonderful LBD - just a little different from the rest of the pack
Loved this dress. Wore it to a school fundraiser. It was the right balance of looking great while not looking like I was trying too hard. I got lots of compliments, even a couple of days later. This is a dress I would consider buying since it is very versatile.

Beautiful dress for someone else
After reading the reviews, thought this dress would be perfect for my pear shaped body. First of all, the slip under the lace was skin tight and didn't fit me well. Then the front was just too low cut. Fortunately, I liked my "second" dress. It worked perfectly.

Wore this to my niece's wedding in St. Louis. The dress was stunning. Although it is a conservative cut, the red made it stand out in a sea of black. Love it!

Great color, strange neckline
The dress is beautiful. The orange is that perfect shade that looks good even on lighter, untanned skin. Strange neckline however so had to send it back. I'm full chested 36C but the top was too loose. The drop from the shoulder to the top of the dress was too long.
