Silk Godess
Rented this dress for work and I received so many compliments from both men and women! The tie in the middle of the dress allows you to create a cinched waistline for any size waist. The material is silk, so definitely have static guard on hand. As others have mentioned, the neckline is a bit wide but nothing a few safety pins couldn't take care of.

Simple & flattering
Dress is simple and straightforward and very flattering! My only qualm is that it wrinkles very easily and it's a bit tough to get the wrinkles out so make sure you have a steamer on hand.

Tall girls BEWARE.
Holy moly… This dress is short! I'm 5'9" and while I do know my legs are a touch longer than my torso, this number was 4 inches from my crotch. The material itself is extremely soft and very comfortable, but like others have said, the zipper does not lay flat on your back and it creates lots of bumps in the silhouette running from your neck to the bottom of the dress.

Creamy and dreamy.
For starters, this stress is definitely more cream-colored then it appears in the photo...I would even go as far is it to say it's Oatmeal colored. I will admit the dress was a touch risky for the workplace due to the wide armholes and slightly high slit in the center, but the length and overall nature of the dress is conservative so I went for it and it paid off (with compliments)! The weight of the knit is very flattering and gives the body a very smooth line. Like others have mentioned, the belt was missing from my dress so pack an extra if you are traveling.

Head- turner.
The top almost has a peplum shape to it, in that it flares out the slightest bit at the hip so I added a small chain and elastic belt to help accentuate that shape. The fabric is quite long on one side (I am 5'9" and it was at my ankles) so heels will help keep the fabric from dragging on the floor if you are short. Also, I would say this top runs a half size large, so if you have a small chest you can get away with sizing down.

I couldn't fall in love.
Unfortunately, the jacket definitely runs a whole size large, so I was not able to fall in love with the way it looked on my body. As you can see from the picture, it definitely has an oversized fit to it with the drop shoulders and wider frame of the denim. I put it on a few times with the intention of making it work with my outfit but just could not figure it out so I didn't end up wearing it at all.

It has POCKETS, need I say more?
Once you accept the wrinkly nature of the dress, it truly becomes a really fun outfit! The material has a light stretch, and definitely wrinkles, but the color and overall shape is fantastic so I personally didn't care about the minor flaws. I typically can wear a size 4 in tops because I have almost no chest, but this dress had a tight fit, so if you need room in your chest, or even in your arms/ shoulders, size up. I also recommend pairing this with a full-cup bra to avoid any bra lines. I am quite tall, so the dress hit mid-shin for me, but if you are shorter, consider pairing it with high heels.

Universally flattering
This is my second pair of sunglasses I've rented, and I was really happy with them! The shape is very straightforward, and universally flattering on any face. The frames aren't too big and they're not too small, and there's no nose piece that requires adjusting since it's just a plastic nose piece that's built into the frame… That also means you can stick these on the top of your head and they don't get caught in your hair! I will admit that for my face, they were a touch snug but nothing that was too uncomfortable.

Pretty, but complicated.
This dress is like THAT garment every woman has in her closet... It's beautiful, but it's definitely a bit complicated to wear. I rented this dress for work and I noticed two things that led to my first 3-start review. First, the material itself is quite thin, so even the most delicate (nude) lace was visible through it. I also noticed that the waist on this dress doesn't fall at a woman's natural waistline, but rather slightly above which creates an odd gap between the small of your back and your butt. Your body to type will determine whether or not that's an issue, but for me, it created an unflattering line the way they dress laid on my figure. Also, size down! It definitely runs large by at least one size!

Show stopper!
Long after my event, people were shooting compliments my way on this fabulous dress! The material is a REALLY thick, spandex-like fabric that did a nice job of smoothing my body out. The cut-outs were visible, but not overly inappropriate for the Jamaica wedding I was attending, so they added some fun to the overall look. I will say that the band around the waist area has almost no give, so if you need more space in the midsection, I suggest sizing up.

Updated Jakie O. vibes.
I wore this dress to work and it was a huge hit! It's a very comfortable material, but it is definitely snug in the top, so for anyone between sizes, or with a fuller bust, size up for more space in the torso. I have a very small chest and typically wear a 4 (in tops) and the size 6 was snug. The shape of the skirt is full, so if you need more space in the hip/ butt area, this would still be a great option. I would even go as far as saying this dress would be appropriate in a business professional work setting because it's stylish but very appropriate. I will definitely rent this again!

On the fence.
I rented this dress with the intention of wearing it as a business casual work outfit but ultimately decided against it. For me, the shape was just a little bit off: the sleeves were a bit too long, the A-line shape of the dress was almost too wide/ flared out at the bottom, and the fabric was quite heavy, so it didn't lay nicely on me. I have an athletic/ pear-shaped body, so maybe a fuller bust would have helped this dress out... a girl can dream! All in all, I think the dress would be cute in a more casual setting. I would add a belt around it to help accentuate the waist, put on some knee-high boots and throw on a felt hat for a cute fall look.

Unexpected favorite.
This light sweater dress was a great way to spice up my Tuesday workwear! It runs small (I have a very petite top and it fit me like a glove) so if you are between sizes, or you have a fuller top, size up. The thick material hangs on the heavier side, so it does smooth over most of the body, but the top is a touch sheer, so I recommend a nude bra. I paired this with a nude belt and nude strappy heels to bring the outfit into a "late summer" vibe. Note: there is a large slit in the front AND back of the dress, and while it's mostly hidden when you're standing, it may be visible when seated.

Helllooooooo, RETRO!
I work in an office with a business/ business casual dress code and this dress was a hit. The cotton material keeps it more casual, but the length and fit make it appropriate for my workplace. I paired the dress with strappy nude heels for more of a summery look since this dress has a fall pattern. The tie at the waist will accentuate your natural waist, and distract the eye from that lower ab area (most women have trouble with). Note: there is an 8-inch slit tucked away on the side of the dress that will only show when you are seated. I will absolutely rent this again!
