It’s comfortable
I think I read one review that said this dress looked/felt like a hospital gown. I have to agree. That said - it’s comfortable and gave me a more polished but relaxed look on a videoconferencing call.

Very cute!
Perfect for a hot summer day with a white shirt. I got lots of compliments, and it photographed well for vacation.

Lovely dress!
This dress is great! It was comfortable and elegant. I wore it to a nice dinner at a beachfront restaurant at sunset. The only reasons it wasn’t a 5 star for me: 1) thin/sheer up top - be prepared to wear a strapless bra or let the girls be a little showy. My husband voted showy. 2) the waist on the dress is a little long - some of my photographs were awkward looking if I wasn’t standing upright.

Out of the comfort zone
This dress is hot, but it is definitely out of my comfort zone. I rented it to wear to a club in Vegas, but ended up with a different dress. My husband actually vetoed the choice because it made him feel like I was the one being rented (not the dress - haha). It’s a fun choice - depending on what kind of heads you want to turn! It runs quite small - I sized down (it was the only size available). I could zip it, but the fabric doesn’t stretch, so sitting was a challenge.

Super fun option for a country concert!
I actually didn't wear it (had another dress that just edged this one out), but I would definitely rent it again with the right occasion in mind! I really wanted to find a reason to wear this outfit, but ran up against the rental return time.

Comfortable, Stylish Maxi
I wore this to a wedding in Puerto Rico. It was cool in the heat and roomy for dancing. Super easy to throw on and go with minimal effort. It packs pretty well for a suitcase with minimal wrinkles. A little big in the chest & waist. I otherwise might have kept it.

Kept it!
This dress was flattering, conservative on the sleeves, neckline and skirt length, but fun in style and color. I wore it with yellow Rothy's and got many compliments. It made me feel fabulous, feminine, and confident!

Fun dress!
This definitely runs small. Size up. The material is a thick canvas and feels good but does not stretch. I intended to wear it for a Sunday Funday, but the weather was too cold, so I ended up wearing it to work Monday with a long tan cardigan sweater. My husband really liked it.

Fun dress to accessorize!
This dress has a great fit and shape to it. I wore it with calf high brown boots, a brown fashion belt, and a brown leather jacket. I was comfortable all day and received many compliments. The puff detail on the sleeve, stitching along the neckline, and knee length make it very classy. It's a well made dress that's fun to wear!

Great for a holiday formal!
I liked this dress! It was a bit out of my comfort zone with the side body slit, and it was a little more snug across the belly than I'm used to wearing. However, the longer I wore it, the more I warmed up to it. I wanted to put on shapewear underneath, but it showed through the side slit. I was able to pair it with some bra cup inserts (and double sided tape) which held well. The dress was comfortable and photographed well!

Outstanding dress!
I rented this in a 12R and 14R. I normally wear a 12 in most dress sizes, but ended up wearing the 14 in this dress. It was very flattering and comfortable to wear! I got lots of compliments.
