Flattering & comfortable!

The skit is a little higher than expected when seated, so just be mindful of that!

Great dress to wear for business attire

I wore this dress and received so many compliments on the style and fit of the dress. Since I ordered a size larger then what I typically wear, I did wear a blouse with it. It was very comfortable and gave me a classic look without looking frumpy.

Add to bag, girl!

Cinched that waist, hunny! Giving what she was supposed to be giving all day. Didn't mind the slit when I sat down bc my lap was mostly hidden by tables or desks. No complaints!

Twist on work dress

Runs small but if you size up the fit is nice. I didn't love the fake button closure but I liked the rest.

Great Dress

Loved it! A lot of compliments at work. I felt like I had to be a little careful of the slit in the front , I'm relatively tall so for someone maybe 5'5 and shorter it will definitely fall below the knees

So many compliments

I wore this for work but you could easily wear it for a nice night out too. It's form fitting but comfortable. Just the right length with a flattering slit in the middle. So many compliments !

Retro feel

I loved this dress for the classic buttons, pattern, split and mock turtleneck. The racerback-type cut is not for the faint of heart though. Your shoulders will be more exposed than the pictures show which I also liked.

I got this for work but wore it for fun on my birthday and it is a joy! It fits like a dream (but probably wouldn't fit if I ate a burrito - that's okay)

Loved this dress! Was perfect for the work conference I attended. I wish they would have had a size 6 available, the size 8 was slightly too big.

Surprisingly cute

I am not going to lie: I did not think I was going to like this dress. But once I put it on with a black turtleneck underneath and tights I felt very secure in it. Received a lot of compliments. I will say I probably wouldn’t have worn this without pantyhose/tights as the slit was a bit too high for work. But with something underneath I didn’t bat an eye. Don’t think I’ll rent again because it’s not necessarily my style but it definitely worked for work!

Not sitting appropriate

Love the dress but sitting. WOW! So short. Luckily no one was really in the office the day I wore this. I would have been very embarrassed. If you are only standing this dress is great.

Great unique dress!

Super comfy, although the slit is too high if you'll need to do a lot of sitting! It's very high, but was okay for just standing (which is what the event was).

Elegant, classy work dress

I wore this to a conference and it was comfortable to wear all day. The walking is slightly restricted due to its shape but it's a good dress nonetheless.

Great dress with a high slit

My only complaint about this dress is how high the slit is. While sitting at work, I felt uncomfortable as if was showing too much. This would be great for cocktails after work or a dinner party....just not for the office

This was comfortable and good quality. Seemed a little looser through the midsection but overall fit well. I wore this for a professional photoshoot for my business. It was classy with a little edge!

Nice idea

I think the designer really had a cute idea her, just not sure they really hit the mark. It felt like the front cutout was riding up just enough to make me a little uncomfortable. I received many compliments, but I'm not sure I would rent again.

Button details

I liked, not loved this dress. The idea is great but somehow it's not as flattering as I had hoped. Another renter mentioned the lining is an issue, and I agree with that. True to size and comfortable, paired well with a blazer and boots.

Loved but too sexy for work

I'm a curvy girl so would definitely not wear this to a work event during the day. Still felt a little too tight for evening networking event.
