Meh but with pockets
The pockets are great and it’s a light, comfortable fabric. But overall it’s just meh. The neckline isn’t very flattering-just sort of flat. I’m a DD and you’d never know I had boobs. And the cut of the sleeves stops at a weird spot. The snap buttons are fun and the slit starts a little above the knee which does make it a little less dowdy.

Tight and weird on the shoulders
I tried this both ways and it just looked weird and was very uncomfortable at the shoulders. The dress was warm and soft but not wearable.

So promising
It’s a very cute dress, fit well though the buttons pulled a bit at my chest-sizing up wouldn’t work since it fit perfectly otherwise. I’d be close to buying it if weren’t for the sleeves. As you can see in the pic, for some reason the designer decided that having weird flappy sleeves from the wrist above the elbow would be flattering. They are very wrong. If you can fold/push them up right you can somewhat hide them but otherwise it just looks like I have a bunch of hanging skin on my forearms. Very unfortunate.

Sloppy
It came with tags on which is always exciting. It’s a thick, pretty sweater but the proportions were all off on me. It was too big but not in a cute or comfy way. I tried it unbuttoned with a shirt underneath but it still hit wrong at the waist and shoulders. A size down might help but I think it’s the cut of the sweater overall.

Fit true to size, comfortable, lots of compliments, only big complaint is that it doesn't have pockets. Wore it with jeans mainly. Would rent again next winter.

Perfection
I wore this to a friend’s 30th birthday that was prom themed and it was great (I’m 46…). True to size, comfortable, and even though it’s a deep plunge I didn’t need tape to keep covered-the velvet stayed in place. Lots of compliments and I danced for hours in it.

Soooooo long
Wayyyyy too long, especially for winter in Maine-even with two inch heel boots it dragged, and I’m 5’8. It fit well but the paneling around the crotch made it look off to me. Didn’t wear.

Soft and warm but…
Fits very well and flattering. Came with the tags on! Nice and soft though very staticky. But I didn’t wear it except at home-it didn’t really go with anything because of the fabric.

So lovely!
I loved this and contemplated buying it. I wore it four times-just out and about and on dates and a concert-it was perfect everywhere. I’m 5’8 and it’s long on me, needed two inch heels to keep it off the ground. A shorter person might swim in it a bit but I loved it. Fabric is light and easy, because of the lightness of the fabric and the straplessness I didn’t use the pockets for anything heavier than a tissue and lip gloss for fear of pulling it down. But I never had anything exposed and it was more supportive than I expected.

Super cute and booty shorts
This was very fun and pretty comfortable during a long day walking around DC in mid-June. The straps needed to be tightened throughout the day but it wasn’t a big deal. The shorts are VERY short-no booty actually hanging out but I did have to adjust after sitting a lot. The pockets are nice and it’s not too hard to get in and out of for the bathroom but an assist is very helpful.

Pockets!
I love almost everything about this dress-it’s comfortable, flattering, and has great pockets. But the straps stretch out over the day-the skirt is fairly heavy-and they can cut a little into the shoulders. Adjustable straps would be a game changer. But it’s still a great dress and I wore it multiple times and have ordered before too.

Too dang long
They fit perfectly and are very comfortable except for the length. I’m 5’8 and these dragged on the ground with sneakers and I needed at least a two inch heel but even with that they still touched the ground. I didn’t wear them because they just looked silly. It’s unfortunate because otherwise they’re great. I tried rolling them but with the cuts on the sides they wouldn’t hold and ballooned out. Very disappointing.

Perfection
This fit perfectly, the pockets were deep and sturdy, and I felt like a cool princess. I wore my chucks and the back of the dress did drag on the ground so heels might be good for anyone shorter. I did have to remember to stand up straight but the top never sagged and it felt fresh all night.

Love love love
I adored this and wore it at least half a dozen times. It’s bright and fun but elegant and classy too. It’s sexy but not because it shows a lot of skin. I wish it were an inch or so longer for the fit but I’d still buy it if I could.

Excellent top: well made, elegant, sexy-I’ve rented this multiple times and worn it a bunch each time. It does cut a little high on the sides so hard to wear without a tiny bit of skin showing.

Sexy and comfy
I've rented this in the past and always wear it multiple times. It's sexy and classy. It does creep up a bit if you raise your arms a lot but it's easy to adjust. Can be awkward to wear under layers/coats because of the width of the color.

Meh
I mean, it has pockets! It’s comfortable and fairly light fabric. The print is very autumnal. But if still feels dowdy even with the fitted waist. The waist makes it blouse out right at my hips in a way that I think is odd. Wore once, will not wear again.

Flattering and cozy
I forgot to get a pic but I’ve ordered it in a different color in my next shipment as an example of how much I liked it. It’s warm so if you work in an overheated office it might be uncomfortable. It fit perfectly, very comfortable, soft, and cozy.

Massive armpit holes
I was really excited for this piece! I pulled it in, fits like a glove, and then I saw the epic sideboob. It looks like someone stretched the dress out to make the armpits huge. You can see nearly all my bra on the side. I did not wear this. I tried a black long sleeve top underneath but the dress is so fitted it was uncomfortable.

Waist is tiiiggghhht!
I loved this, overall very comfortable but if your event involves a lot of eating I don’t suggest this dress. It’s VERY tight at the waist, which looks fantastic but does not lend itself to easy digestion. Thank goodness for the clip in the front, it kept the girls covered well though you may want nipple covers. It’s a lovely, flowy dress and was perfect for an early fall outdoor dinner. I wouldn’t size up because then it would be way too loose everywhere else.

So sexy and so comfortable
I’d buy it if I could. I kept it through three rounds of exchanges because I love it so much. I wore it on dates, friend’s birthdays, and just running errands. It’s so flattering and the length is perfect on me at 5’8, I think it could be too long on folks 5’5 and under. I didn’t wear a bra with it because it’s so fitted it didn’t need it. I wore it with heels and with chucks. I didn’t realize the bottom of the pants were cut/sort of fringe-y and they flap a little when you walk but I don’t mind it. Solid 70’s vibe for sure.

Just a little too fancy for work
It's so pretty, it fit so perfectly, it's so well-made but I couldn't get over the sparklyness to wear it to work which is what I'd hoped to do. If I'd had an Easter, Derby, or some other spring event where it needed to be modest but still fun-that would have been perfect. If it hadn't had the sparkles I'd have worn it till it fell apart I think. Never actually wore it out of the house.

The chest is super baggy
I wanted so much for this to work, the fabric is lovely and the cut seemed so promising. But the chest was incredibly baggy even for my DD's and getting the shoulder ties tied evenly/at the same level was really hard-once strap was always higher/lower than the other. But it wouldn't have zipped if I'd sized down. Never wore it out of the house.

Perfection
I am obsessed with this. It’s super flattering and it’s nice and long for my 5’8 hight which is not always true with jumpsuits. If you’re much shorter it’s definitely a high heel situation. I wish it had pockets but otherwise wouldn’t change anything.

Stretches throughout the day
Nothing fancy and it's flattering to start with, then it does start to stretch because of the weight of the dress as the day goes on. By the end of the day you could see parts of my bra as the armpits lowered. It also started to get pretty loose and frumpy in the back. So, if you're only wearing it for three or four hours, I'd recommend it but otherwise it starts to get awkward and unflattering. I don't know if sizing down one would have helped but it started out fitting very nicely so a small size might have been too tight.

No deep breaths
I loved the style of the dress, how fun the skirt is, and the little lizards are fabulous. The fit was a bit of a problem though it was flattering. The rib cage was VERY tight-I did not eat a lot at dinner that night or take deep breaths. If I’d sized up though the chest would have been way too large-it was loose enough as it was-and would have been too big under the arms. Won’t rent again but I’m glad I tried it out.

Meh
It’s just, eh. It fit fine, the pockets are nice, the length was good. Biggest issue was the shoulders which were way too wide and stuck out awkwardly. Also it’s boring-ish, wrinkles immediately, and is weirdly heavy.

Nice white top
Wore it to work a few times. Sleeves only looked good rolled up-length was too short and looked awkward. It’s very light and comfortable and not really see-through through I did wear a white camisole. It does wrinkly pretty much immediately.

So awkward
I saw it’s available to buy at $80 when its original value was over $400. $80 is still too much money. The fabric is nice and that’s the only good thing I can say. It’s cut super oddly on the side where the zipper is-excess fabric that’s not on the other side and it’s very obvious. The straps don’t seem to match the style of the dress. And the zipper was incredibly hard to zip. Don’t waste your rental.

So flattering!
I’d love to buy this if it weren’t much. It snatches perfectly at the waist, is super comfy while being a bit sexy but still very work appropriate. I tied the belt in the back because the bow in front felt grumpy-if it weren’t sown in I’d remove it. Also cuffed the sleeves because the length was odd when they were unrolled. Wore this multiple times.
