Nice quality dress
I liked this dress so much that I kept renting different sizes until I got it right. A 10 was best for me. The only thing I didn't like was the SUPER LONG SLEEVES. I folded the sleeves up, but it was't really the way it was meant to be worn. Liked it - didn't LLLLOVE IT and I didn't keep it.

Lots of compliments
Just about everyone who saw me at work said, "nice shirt." It fits well, it's a nice fabric (looks like silk) and a great color. Green with some black and light gray - will go with many things.

Loved it - bought it
Great basic shirt. The sleeves are way too long, and there's no way to roll them up, so I bought it and I'm going to have the sleeves hemmed. But I love the shirt. I'm sure I'll wear it a lot.

Loved it.
I've been looking for "the perfect white shirt" and this one was perfect in every way. The material was heavy enough so it wasn't sheer (which is hard with a white shirt). The sleeves hit me in the right spot. It didn't gape open. It was a great shirt. I would have kept it if the price were better.

Very cute - but looked like a costume on me
It fit well. THICK THICK material. It looked like maybe a costume that you would see on stage at a play. That might sound weird, but if you rented it, you know what I mean.

Way too short
Impossible to wear. It was as long as a shirt. I loved it if it would have had about three more inches of length. Just three. Okay - maybe six.

WAYYY too tight
I'm curvy and this did not accentuate my figure in a good way. I looked like a sausage in it. I couldn't rip it off fast enough.

I SOOO wanted to love it!
Fit on top but the bottom was just "too much". Too much material and too heavy. It looked really odd on me.

Looked comfortable
When I asked someone what they thought of it, they said, "well, it looks comfortable." Not exactly a ringing endorsement. It was thin material and had a nice pattern, but it was just like a sack. I would have worn it out, but with so many other cute things out there, I feel like, "life is too short to wear an outfit that is just 'ok'". Back it goes.

Way too long - even in heels
I'm only 5'3" but even in 5" heels, it still dragged on the floor in back. It's too bad because it was really cute otherwise.

Nice shirt- fit well - but COMPLETELY SHEER
This isn't the kind of shirt that you can wear a camisole under and it is COMPLETELY sheer. Back it goes.

Sleeves WAYYYYY too long
Unwearable. I looked ridiculous in it. The sleeves are genuinely about six inches too long and it's not the style of sleeve that you can "push up." Back it goes.

Great work dress.
Nice quality dress. Good for a conservative work environment. Basic but different enough so it's not boring. Nice material. Sleeves may bit a bit too long. The price was right so I ended up buying it.

Loved it. Bought it!
Nice material, form fitting without being too clingy. I ended up buying it because it think it's really versatile. It makes a cute dress but can also be unbuttoned and be a jacket over something else. You can't have enough nice black dresses!

Not a great quality piece.
If you're looking for a quality jumpsuit, this isn't it. If you just want to be in sea of hot pink - then go for it. It's too long for me (I'm 5'3" and even in high heels it was too long) and it just isn't made that well. But if you're tall, thin and it's going to be dark, then go for it. It would be fun on the right person.

Fit very well. NIce quality.
I wore this to film a commercial and it was perfect. The top fit perfectly and it's a great cut and color for TV. The bottom was too flowy and long for me, so I didn't keep it, but it did the trick for what I needed it for. A taller girl who likes a big skirt on the bottom will like this dress. Im' just too short for that style.

Wanted to like it.
The other reviews are correct. It is a very nice quality shirt. Nice material. But - it's busy. The pattern is busy. There's a lot of material with some weird layers. It looks exactly like the pictures. I don't know what I was expecting. I just didn't like it. It was kind of tight through the chest and shoulders, but I have a large bust so that just may be my body.

Wanted to love it.
The pink in this shirt is such a great color and matches a pair of shoes I have exactly, so I really wanted to love it so I could buy it. The fun sleeves are interesting but the rest of the shirt is kind of blah. It was about $100 to buy it and just didn't seem worth it.

TOO TIGHT
Way too tight for my hourglass frame. I sent it back. Dare I rent it again in an XL?

Loved it. Bought it.
So comfy and classy. They are navy blue - not black. Also, the design of it means you have to have a pretty plain top. Not easy to find something to match with it, so I wear it with my favorite RTR white sweater that I wear with everything. :) The pants are high quality material with a fun slit on the side. I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear them.

I wasn't that impressed
I thought I would like it more. It was a nice color, but didn't seem that high of a quality when I got it. It was a little short for work. I didn't end up wearing it.
Purple Kane Dress

Way too much material
It looks better in the picture than it did in real life. I could have fit another person in there with me. Just way too much material and the sleeves were SO BIG and full. I wanted to wear it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I thought I just looked ridiculous in it.

I loved it
I think I'm the only one who liked this dress, but I really loved it. It fit me well and it was a fun, delicate dress to wear. It has an odd but interesting little "cape" in the back. I couldn't see it so it didn't bother me. Ha ha. If it wasn't so expensive, I would have bought it.

Enlist a buddy if you go to the restroom!
Loved it so much I purchased it. Great, lightweight material. Now sleeves. Roomy everywhere but the chest/shoulder area (and I don't usually have trouble with that). It is definitely not a "one-man job" to get in and out of. No give in the fabric. But I love it. So many colors in it for shoe choices (you can see I couldn't decide between white, gray, dusty/denim blue or black).

How do I love this sweater? Let me count the ways!
*Very high quality *Soft, sweater (so soft, so comfy!) *Stretchy - plenty of give if you have a larger bust *Perfect, conservative fit *Very pale yellow (see how light it is compared to my true yellow shoes) *Can easily be dressed up or down depending on what you pair it with. *LOVE LOVE LOVE

Nice fabric but strange fit on me
I love this sweater and I might rent it in a Medium next time. I usually get large sweaters because my chest is large, but this sweater did a weird "gap" thing between the shoulders and the chest. Other people didn't seem to have this problem so I think I'll rent it again. Great fabric. Nice quality material.

Very cute - but size down!
This dress has a slip and sheer layer on top. That sheer layer has a LOT of material. It hung on me instead of being fitted. I think a smaller size might have been better. I liked it enough to wear it work, but not enough to re-rent it in the right size. Very light weight material. Nice for the summer.

GREAT DRESS from the waist up!
I rented this for a TV appearance and it was perfect. The neckline is conservative, but interesting. It was a great color. I loved it. However, I don't like open backs and my bra showed. Also, the length and style of the bottom made it seem a little "church choir-ish". It worked for what I needed it for, but keep in mind that open back.... a regular bra won't work.

Not what I was expecting.
This dress might have just been stretched out in the hips but it was REALLY big through the hips. I am on the hunt for a few conservative, but interesting black work dresses and with this interesting neckline, I thought this would be a hit. The neckline wasn't as interesting in person as it looked in some pics. Nice, heavier fabric though. Good quality.

My boyfriend called it "matronly".....
I was very excited to rent this dress It had an interesting cut and a color that I don't usually wear. I thought I was going for a "Claire Underwood" dress, but when my boyfriend said it was "matronly", back in the bag it went! (I did like it, though.....) It's a good quality fabric and fit really well, which is sometimes hard for me because I'm curvy but also like to stay conservative.

If you like the pattern, you'll love this dress
The pattern of this dress was a little outside of my comfort zone, but it fit well. Nice, light material that was snug in the right places. The only odd thing was that it sinches up on one side. Hard to see in the photo, but it has a string so you can make one side much shorter than the other - if you are so inclined. To me, that was odd.

Too much fabric for me.
I really wanted to love this dress. I love the pattern. In the end, there was just "too much dress" for me. If it were less expensive, I would have bought it and had it altered (shortened and narrowed out the skirt) but I opted not to keep it. I'm 5'3" and it just kind of "swallowed" me.

Rented it twice!
Perfect white summer sweater! I rented it and wore it with a long skirt for work. I liked it so much I rented again and wore it with casual pants. So versatile! Good quality material and fit perfectly. The sleeves give it a fun look as well.

This skirt is classy, classy, CLASSY. Incredibly well made. The picture does not do it justice. It has a fun design that other reviews talked about but this is really a great skirt. I have a curvy butt and don't do a lot of long straight skirts, but this one looked great.

It looks like a dress but it's a romper. Very cute. Fun and flirty. Can be dressed up with heels or worn with flat sandals or even tennis shoes for a more casual look.

Very "Mad Men - ish"
I loved this dress. Many MANY compliments all day but it's not a dress you can wear often. People remember it. So I didn't buy it. Probably wont' rent again unless it's for something specific. I am sad I didn't take a picture. It's more comfortable than it looks, too!

So much fun!
I really love this dress. It was fun and flirty. I twirled around in it. Definitely a "girlie girl" dress. Vibrant color. Everything about it was great - except the neckline. I have a large chest and it was big on top. Maybe a V-neck would be better with this dress? I didn't want to buy it but I sure had fun wearing it.

Fun twist on a blue dress
The pink stitching around the neck and sleeves gives this basic dress a lot of interest. Very comfortable and hit at the right length. Take note - it is not black. It's navy blue.
