Nice touch
Needed an easy jacket that could go with a couple outfits on a weeklong work trip. This worked great.

Total statement dress
Wore this at a conference for work paired with a black leather jacket and black Tory Burch ankle boots. I'm 5'4" and the length was perfect. Material is luxurious and perfect for fall. I strongly considered keeping it - definitely one of my favorite rentals.

Loved everything about this dress--fit, fabric, design, and just the overall look. Wore it out twice and considered keeping it. Got so many compliments.

Looked great, got a few compliments at work
The fit throughout was flattering, however the waist was a tad bit tight. I had to wear it fairly high on my natural waist with a black shirt tucked in. By the end of the day I was ready to take it off.

I want to keep it!!
I got so many compliments and I felt so stylish. I have two other DVF dresses and considered buying this one, but it's so bright and noticeable it wouldn't come into rotation too often. It was perfect as a rental and I may get it again to wear again later this season . The fabric is great and it has a more modest neckline than other DVF wraps. I didn't have to pin or use fabric tape to keep it in place. Highly recommend!

Engagement photos
This dress made me so happy and was perfect for our engagement shoot. I'm 5'4" and had to wear 3+" heels and there were times when the top would shift, but the photos turned out amazing. I had to wear a backless sticky bra with a low plunge - a regular bra didn't work for me. Highly recommend this dress though!!

Typical day in the office
Very comfortable, appropriate length for work, the gold on the flutter sleeves was a nice touch. Would consider keeping this dress.

Definitely noticeable
I wore this for a typical day in my office. It probably wouldn't have been appropriate for any client meetings, but it was fine for being at work. The length was great and the sleeves are cute, but it definitely ran big. I notice that a lot of Trina Turk dresses tend to run larger and I should have gotten a size 2. The color would probably look better on me later in the summer after I've had plenty of sun.

Feel like a fashionable superhero
I typically wear a 4, but am really glad I got the 2R because it fit perfectly (even had a little extra room). I'm 5'4" and it was the right length too. Like most offices, mine is freezing, so even on a warm June day in DC, I was totally comfortable and didn't need a blanket at my desk. The cape is really different and I could see how it could be off-putting, but at first glance it looks like a jacket resting on your shoulders, so it takes a moment for someone to ask, wait a minute, are you wearing a cape? It's not something I would want to invest in, but was a fun piece to wear on a random work day. Rent it, you won't regret it!

Favorite rentals, ended up buying it!
This bag was one of my favorite rentals, so much so that I ended up buying a new one during a Tory Burch sale. The leathery is super buttery and the tassels add just the right amount of flair. It holds a ton of stuff - laptop, make-up, shoes, water bottle, small purse, etc. It's a great everyday sort of bag!

Easily stand out
I wore this to the office when we had a fairly large event, and I felt like I stood out in a sea of navy and black. When the office got a bit frigid, I had a navy jacket that I threw on over, but overall this fit great and was totally office appropriate. If I had happy hour plans after work, this would have been great to wear to as well. Definitely recommend (but know that it's a bit snug!)!

Favorite rental so far!
Fit perfectly, but was a little heavier than I had expected. Looked great with everything. My favorite combo was with a blue jumpsuit - received so many compliments!

Great pop of color!
Worked great as an everyday purse. I didnt want to gove it back! More compartments than you'd suspect, and it was the perfect color to make my all-black outfits totally pop while on vacation.

Super flattering
I loved how it looked but the cleavage it showed was way too much and showed my bra, so i had to pin the sleeves to secure them a bit tighter. Other than that, the outfit was flawless and i received so many compliments from complete strangers while on vacation. I paired it with a red kate spade poppies necklace, red tory purse (both RTR) and gold sandals. Great outfit for a fancy dinner out while on vacation in Costa Rica!

Much too large
I was disappointed with this sweater and ended up not wearing it. It fit more like a loose sweater dress. I considered belting it and wearing it that way, but it wasnt flattering. I thought it was more gold per the photos, but it was beige in person.

Flattering!
I was surprised how much i loved this dress. It comes in two pieces: a thin black slip and the zipper lace overlay that unzips all the way. I'm barely 5'4" and the dress was quite short, especially when i sat down. It was tight enough to hug the right spots and a size 2 worked perfectly for my frame. I got lots of compliments and would def consider renting this again.

Expect a lot of compliments
I wore this to a friend's wedding on the Eastern Shore. The color is really bright so I felt like the dress stood out from the crowd of black dresses. The material was thinner than I had thought and while I normally wear a 4 or 6, the 6 fit perfectly.
