Easy to wear

Comfortable. Not lined but not a problem. A little tight in the chest but not uncomfortable. Only thing that would make this dress better would be pockets.

So cute, flattering, and comfy! Fit very well, sleeves are a little tight but definitely still do-able. Love this & hope to rent again!

More restrictive than your average Nap Dress!

I’m a Hill House Home Nap Dress fan girl (I own a handful and rent them regularly), so I was surprised when this one arrived and it was more restrictive — it’s crepe instead of forgiving cotton, and has a zipper instead of the typical smocked bodice. I still enjoyed wearing it out for dinner with friends, but wanted to warn others who might look at reviews instead of reading the full description.

Perfect summer black dress

This was my go-to for any dinner, work happy hour, or party occasion. Easy to throw on, comfortable breathable material and could wear this without a bra needed.

Comfortable, great material

This dress was easy to throw on and head out to date night or church. Recommend wearing a strapless bra with it due to how low cut it is.

Super Cute

Loved this dress - I would've kept it longer and worn it more but I needed to order my next shipment! It is a little tight on the chest even though it has a stretchy portion in the back, but not enough to cause an issue. It was brand new when I rented it!

Such a cute dress. Wore after getting abdominal surgery and it allowed me to still feel cute and comfy while not feeling me best! Would also work great for maternity.

Simple perfect black dress

I probably could’ve sized up to a M for my bust. But it was a nice snug fit. Could be easily dressed up or down. Took on a long three week trip and didn’t wrinkle.

Perfect work dress in a heat wave

Survived the NYC heatwave in this dress. It's unlined and flowy . Arms are a tad tight but you can wear them on and off the shoulder. Very elegant neckline.

Another Hill House win. I wore it to my son’s evening high school graduation. I wore a strapless bra, but could have gone without one as well.

Hard to get on

Fits well when it’s on but hard to pull over and take off if you have broad shoulders
