I rented this dress for everyday/client visits but it can easily be dressed up or down depending on the formality of your occasion. I could have gone one size down as it was pretty loose in the top area. I added a sash to help define my waist area but that probably wouldn't be necessary if I sized down. This dress will be great for dinners with clients because it is pretty flowy and is super forgiving!

I rented this for a friends bridal shower. I got so many compliments! The best part was the pockets so I did not have to worry about carrying my purse around. I am glad I had the 14 because it was a little tighter in the chest than expected and I am happy I had the extra room. Like others have said, it wrinkles easily so by the end of my event the bottom of the dress was pretty wrinkled, but otherwise a great dress!

I got this dress for work/everyday. I definitely could have sized down 1-2 sizes. It looks a lot better in person but from certain angles in photos it looks huge. Overall, a very comfy dress for casual events.

This dress made me feel like a million bucks, probably could have gone with a 12, but I'm glad I got the 14 bc I was still very comfortable even after a night of eating/drinking.

Like many other reviewers, I found this dress to be a little tight in the bust, but I think that's just this style of dress. I was able to wear it bra less which helped with the cut out in the back. Overall, super comfy.
