Perfect safari vest!
I rented this for my vacation to Africa. In particular for a safari... I loved it. I initially had to send back for a smaller size though... fits large.

Beautiful colors!
I liked this more than I expected to, thinking it might be too "loud". The colors were actually beautiful and it was the perfect vacation dress. I felt very stylish. The dress is HUGE with no fit. I sent back my normal size for the smallest size they had and it was still big. Thus, I felt it necessary to belt it and pin the front... and then it was perfect! I almost kept it...

I liked it way more than I thought I would!
My boyfriend picked this one out, and I was like, meh. But I got it and loved it! Very cute and flattering fit. So many compliments. I almost bought it because it was only $46, but one of the buttons on the sleeve was missing, so I decided not to. The other thing that was mildly annoying, was the snap button on the chest. If I extended my arms out, most times it would pop open easily and expose my chest. It wasn't a huge deal but over time I would probably tire of it.

Great colours and pleating
This dress is very nice, it's just not me. Plus it was big, and so it didn't quite hang right. Even though it was bigger, it still showed my "lumps" in the back, so I am sure the correct size would have been worse. I also wasn't a huge fan of the metallic sparkles on the dress. For a certain event it would be nice, but ultimately it added something I didn't want there. I did get a lot of compliments though, so I am sure I am just being harsh...but, just wasn't my favourite.

Great color
The fit was slightly on the larger size. I probably could have gone down a size but then I probably would have given up comfort in my midsection. It was the top part that was bigger on me, but because it was also the style I think it was ok. Overall, this wasn't my favorite rental, but it was still a really nice, well made dress. I have another black Genny dress that I kinda wish I had worn instead it was GORG. So I definitely came out with a new fave designer overall. Still though, I felt fab and stylish all the same.

Stunning
This dress is SO beautiful. I had so many compliments. Very classy. I also found it very flattering in my problem area-- the stomach. I was very comfortable all night. The fabric was light and silky. I am VERY short (not quite 5'2) so this was WAY too long even with my highest heels. But I got extra strength fabric to fabric tape and my boyfriend did a temporary hem. It took him about 20 minutes and it was perfect, lasted the whole night. Because of the slit, if the wind blew, you could see the hem folded up inside, but it honestly was not an issue.

Gorgeous print and fabric.
I really, really liked this outfit. I wore it at least 3 times. I was told I should buy it! At the end of the day however, I got really sick of the shoulders always pulling up. It was impossible to keep them down. The slightest movement was all it took. Tape did nothing. Loved it, but eventually had enough.

Keeping this one all summer #Unlimited
One of my favorite rentals! I actually accidentally wore this as a halter top, but it worked. Neither my boyfriend or I noticed that it wasn't actually suppose to be that way haha. (In the picture I put it on right). The bottom part was fitted, but it was SO comfortable and VERY flattering to the stomach and back area. It is short, but because I am short I prefer things that way. It wasn't an issue for me. I'm in love and I don't want to return it!

It was perfect. It comes with a belt that is in a bag separately-- I totally missed that. Great length for short girls. Lightweight and very flattering.

Amazing dress. SO many compliments.
I wish I could afford to buy this one. The fit is perfect, not too tight but hugs all the right places. Such fun colors! I LOVED it. It's British sizing but I followed the American guidelines (I'm usually 4/6) and the 10 was perfect.

Cute, but too many things wrong with it to enjoy
I was really hoping to love this dress and was so excited about it, but it was definitely a let down. I originally rented it in my normal size 4 but it was way too big, so I sent back for a size 2 which fit better... at first. Pros: Nice color/print, cute Cons: The fit was terrible. It fit ok at first (more fitted in the top half) but over the day got baggier and baggier in the top. I was already one size down! It looked awful. The bottom of the skirt also flares up and I was definitely very conscious of raising my arms over my head in fear my butt would show. Final verdict: Disappointed

Very lightweight and comfortable!
Pros: Lightweight and very comfortable. Cons: The print wasn't as bold as it appears in the pictures and didn't have the wow factor that I thought it would. Also, although it fit pretty well, there was fabric that would bunch up on my back because it was a little loose. Not sure a smaller size would have helped. Final verdict: I wore it twice. I liked it for what it was, but wouldn't rent it again.

Fantastic color and fit like a glove!
Pros: great color, fit was amazing and very easy to take from work conference to dinner and drinks later. Cons: I've had a bit of a problem stomach lately and it wasn't especially forgiving. Final verdict: Considering buying.

Didn't like the lack of stretchiness in shoulders
I sized down with this one, as I find with most baggy sweaters I can. But there is no stretch to achieve that shoulder look, so I couldn't pull it down properly. I was basically straightjacketed in. Had it on for a few seconds and it was also super itchy. Maybe I will try my regular size in the future, but I'm in no rush.

Better than the pictures!
I feel like at first this dress doesn't look like much. For example it's simple in design and color, but once you have it on it pops in all the right places. The contrast of brown and white highlights the chest area, it's overall pretty slimming and the black back wraps up the deal. It's comfortable, stretchy and I love the fabric. The fabric is semi thick and high quality, however mildly itchy (there's 50% merino wool). Last thing, the sleeves were way too long on me, but was able to roll them up and it was ok. Lots of compliments!

Sleek!
Loved this purse. I didn't notice that the sides were a light pink, I had gotten it for the white/black color blocking. While it surprised me, I think the pink sides just added to the overall effect in a good way. I paired it with a black tuxedo like dress. Has a longer strap if needed.

Gorgeous color!
This is my second wrap dress I have tried from DVF. I'm a huge fan of the dress itself but ultimately I just don't think it was made for my body. The first one I sized up based on reviews but it was way too big. So this time I sized down to an XS. It fit better for sure but it's still too large in the chest area (I tend to have this problem with most dresses). The sleeves were slightly too long and the dress came down to just over my knees. Other than that the color and print are fabulous. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy. Ultimately I love the dress just not on me!

Super cute!
I really liked it but I'm usually between a 4-6 and got the 6 and it was too big, especially on top which is normal for me, but because of this it was gaping on me in the chest area. Wish I had gotten a 4. Otherwise super comfy and stylish!

Flattering!
I'm usually a 4-6 but they didn't have a 6 so took my chances with the 4. The 4 was snug so I wish they had had a 6 but I still made it work. Like everyone else says, the shoulders are pretty tight. After having a huge sushi meal, this definitely got uncomfortable but I think it was mainly a size issue for me. I love the off the shoulder look and the fitted bodice. The sleeves are a nice final touch. It's simple, but stylish.

Great color and perfect size!
I like smaller bags because I can't overload them. This was PERFECT! The color was one of my favorites and goes with many different outfits, especially for fall. Also loved that I had the option to just dangle on my arm instead of my shoulder.

Comfortable fabric and love the cut out shoulders
I really liked this sweater but didn't get the size right. Depending on designer I can be a small or a medium. The medium was wayyyy too big on me. Would order again just a smaller size. It may run on the larger side.

Gorgeous and flattering
Flattering fit and lovely design. I typically wear a 4-6 and got the 6 in this. The fit was a little loose around my waist but was fine. I could have probably fit in the 4 but I may not have been as comfortable. Would probably try it for next time though.

Love it, want to own it.
Super comfortable! Yes it's short but was ok without leggings (I'm only 5'1). Couldn't lift my arms up high though or it would have shown my butt so you do have to be careful, but didn't affect my comfort in it. The buttons are a nice touch on the neckline. Would love to have it as part of my wardrobe. Ordered a few pieces and this was my bfs fave!

I think its cute and I love the back, but this was a little tight and accentuated my stomach. Overall not a flattering fit for me.

Great print, light and flattering style
I am usually a 4-6 but went with the reviews saying that it runs small, so I got an 8, but I should have gone with the 6. This one fit ok but is definitely too big in my arms and chest area which affect the overall fit. I would probably rate higher if I got my correct size.

True to size fit with fitted bodice, but the flowy arms made the whole look boxy. Very cute print but overall not my style nor was it flattering on me.
