not for my shape
Loved the color but didn't wear the dress, was loose and fitted in the wrong places, not the right fit for my more hourglass shape. Neck very high and shoulder seams too narrow.

Cool crepey fabric
Love the fabric and length and keyhole neck but there are seams I couldn't see in the photo...look cool on the hanger by on my body one curved right around the belly drawing attention and making it look like maybe my belly stuck out there...didn't wear. If you have super flat belly maybe you wouldn't have that issue lol
Gypsy Rose Blue Sheath
Black Halo
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10

Nice color and fabric
But...cut off the arms was too low or wide or narrow or something so that it was really unflattering on top for me. Showing too much of the front of my armpits if that makes any sense. Didn't wear.

Minimalist
Heavier fabric, lays nicely. Elegant. Very plain and on the looser side so could be boring or matronly for some. I found it very comfortable and simple for a long day of work. It's pretty long so could be robe-like for a shorter person.
Black Wrap Dress

Usual Size: 10

Lovely color
Fit me all wrong, loose in some places tight in others. Couldn't wear. I think maybe this designer doesn't work for me.

Cute dots bad fit
This fit fine in waist and hips but so tight in arms, chest and shoulders that I could wear it. Not a problem I have often and would never have guessed from the photo. Fabric has no give and is thin, nice color. Would probably be good for someone with a thin, willowy build?

Curvy hips!
Tight in the hips but flattering, the stripe is more flattering in my opinion than the solid color versions of this same dress

So fun! A little loose in the hips compared to others is this designer.

Pretty
Love the print and feel but I agree with others that this is not the best fit for hourglass shapes. It was loose in some places and tight in others so while it wasn't entirely unflattering, especially from the front, it wasn't particularly flattering either, especially from the side.

Cute
Agree with everyone that the blue is vivid and lovely. The fabric is soft and didn't show wrinkles. The skirt followed the curve of my hips without hugging, so feminine but not too sexy for work. The tummy flap wasn't my favorite, felt like a flight attendant uniform? Does not look good with blazer or cardigan bc of the flap.

Loose on top tight on bottom
I sized up based on recommendation but too was way too large even though hips were ok. Better for me to go with true size and have the dress tighter at hips which seems to be the design.

Nifty
This is such a unique dress...everything about it. not especially figure flattering but very cool and I loved the look, feminine in an edgy way. Exciting for rtr to have small designers like this and hope to see more.

More frumpy than expected
This is more of a sweater than a coat, which made the collar awkward in my opinion. I'm 5.7 and had the medium and the sleeves still fell beyond my wrists onto my palms, making it look too big. Returned without wearing. My mother on the other hand loved it and almost wanted to keep it for herself...she is 70 and more conservative and apparently it suited her perfectly well!

Gorgeous color and shape was flattering for me. I like the longer, midi length. Comfortable and elegant but not ordinary.

Cute and comfy
Details of the purple, textured fabric are less visible in the photo but make thus dress more interesting in person. Flattering a line cut and the weight of the fabric hangs nicely. Easy to coordinate with other colors and dress up or down.
Edita Dress

Very nice
This arrived unused and the leather is thick and gorgeous. I love the very structured look and the clasp works well. It looks great with and without the shoulder strap and the gray coordinates with everything. There are many clever pockets including a slim one along the back side that was perfect for keeping a phone handy. Does not hold a lot but expected that. A bit heavy.

Pretty
The cut and movement of this is just gorgeous, the print too. A little low cut for work for me but a hidden snap at least keeps the chest from falling open and a hidden tie on the skirt also keeps that from falling open...have rarely seen that on a wrap dress. Beautiful silk

Lovely
I missed having a button to keep this closed. But it is a gorgeous color that goes with everything. A good length too and nice fabric. There is a dress that matches but I work it more as a fall overcoat.

Good lines
This was a little tight in the arms for me relative the rest of the dress...but I agree with other reviews that it is flattering and so way to wear. Looks great with boots. A heavier weight perfect for fall.

Th is is a simple dress and cut maybe a little small in the waist...but so feminine and pretty. Just the right amount of flare and movement. A lovely texture and print. Perfect date dress.

Love this
This is such a flattering dress, easy to wear with the wrap. Simple but the textured fabric is a little heavy and feels very nice. The cutout makes it a little sexy but it's modest overall. want to buy it bc I feel like I can wear it to work and dinner and drinks and everywhere!
Corey Wrap Dress

Fun!
Wore this for a date and it was a hit. Sexy slit and curvy through the hips. Forgiving through the tummy due to some overlapping panels there. The fabric is a little stretchy, synthetic...does not seem to me as pricey as it is! But the cut is so unique and the print and colors as well. I am a 10 in ma y designers but for Jason Wu definitely 12.

Didn't work for me
This was fine through the body but the shoulders were too narrow which made the dress look awkward and I didn't wear it. I don't think I'm particularly broad shouldered...was just cut in a way that didn't work. Nice color though and the pleating was just as pictured.
Gayle Dress

Usual Size: 10

Fuzzy and warm
This has a texture like a mohair sweater which is a tiny bit itchy at the neckline but so cozy! The shape has a little bit of a cocoon look that is modern and interesting but it's not too blanket-like. I love the color and length. so happy to borrow this!
Irina Coat
Iro
Size Worn: 42
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 7"

Simple
This dress has a few lovely details that make it more interesting and flattering than a basic shift, but it is just as versatile. There is some movement with a layer in the skirt and a little tucked gather at the waist. On me the 12 is a little too big on top, with the arm holes gaping open...but the 10 is more snug in the hips than I want at work. I'm between 10/12 in all these RL styles but this is the only one I've found this asymmetry with.

Love it
Have rented this twice. Linen is particularly heavy and hangs well. The sleeves look awkward in the photo but in person are flattering. Tie really flatters at the waist. Color of print is interesting, against deep blue.

Elegant
Simple, flattering. Longer midi shape with skimming a-line. The sash/tie softens cleverly across the tummy. Color contrast is subtle.

Intricate
Expertly cut for fantastic draping, movement. The pattern along with all the unusual seams and shapes is maybe a little much...but it's flattering and easy to wear.

This could be good for the right person in the right context...very cool retro pattern and metal pulls on strings elevate it...but it is not subtle in any way... have to be ready to go with this vibe!

Flattering
With this label Ralph Lauren has really figured out how to make a comfortable, flattering, versatile dress...many in variations of this shape are all good but this gathered waist is particularly curve enhancing and forgiving. Sexy but still professional.

Fun!
This is an adorable dress. Stands out, with bold colors and playful cut. Nice fabric and details. A little low cut but otherwise modest, feminine like 50's Hollywood!
