Buttons on the hems
Very comfortable but I would have preferred to have worn this to a Christmas party and wish I could have rented the jacket as well. Instead, wore with a white blouse and black leather jacket. Suede boots that kind of stuck to the pants. Too big

Lilly Power
This reminded me of the Lilly dresses we wore as kids with amazing details. The zipper is a bit difficult to zip and there is a must hook at the top to close it at waistline. I left the neck strap button open because it was less constricting and I couldn't find a sports bra to hide the bra straps. It was a perfect dress for evening cocktail party.

My favorite hue is BLUE
First time renting Draper James. Couldn't wait to wear it. I do admit, it is a little tight at my waist especially after lunch. Fabric is soft, hidden side zipper, deep side pockets, collar is comfortable. It looks French and old fashioned. Very well made. Flowers with solid blue hem, deeper blue waist band. THank you.

Another winner from JCrew. Paired the dress with soft pink belt and pink leather shoes, which I recently purchased in Tuscany. I felt very feminine, pockets great, beautiful print, perfect for summer days, could be dressed up for work as well.

I can always count on Nicole Miller's fit!
I own several Nicole Miller's and they all look fabulous on me. This neckline gives the dress added bonus. I wore it to a graduation party and received many compliments. People ask me, "What are you wearing?" I answer, "I'm RENTING a Nicole Miller"....

This is my second Derek Lam rental. I was amazed at the sewing detail: smocking the back, side zipper, inside button to help keep the dress snug to my waist, light material. My husband thought I looked like Billy Jean King in a tennis dress. I wore it to the beach for dinner on the deck. It is not a work outfit but definitely for the weekend.

Got so many compliments
My favorite colors , stripes are in, love cap sleeves, the belt was a bit complicated at first but I looked up the description and figured it out. The best thing about this dress besides the color and stripes is the pockets!! They are slit to the side and deep. You can adjust the dress from Inside the pockets.
