Fits perfectly

I love j crew dresses. They always fit me well for a pear shape. This does wrinkle but it’s to be expected with this fabric.

Perfect for a warm weather work event!

Loved the color and cut of this dress. I somewhat agree with other reviews that the fabric wrinkles easily, but I personally didn’t think it was noticeable once the dress was actually on. Pretty simple to dress up or down, and I made it work very well for an evening of work engagements in Mexico. Would rent again!

Flattering cut

This is linen, so it does get wrinkly by the end of the day! That was fine for me, though, on a day I wasn't seeing clients at work. I love the shape of this dress, very flattering. I'm usually a 0 in J. Crew and that fit perfectly for me. I don't tend to go for pastels, but this was so pretty. Loved this! Flattering and comfortable, great fit.

Perfect color & fit but wrinkles easily

Obsessed with the fit of the dress, very flattering. It wrinkles easily though — expected as the material is linen.

This dress is super comfortable, but there are wrinkles that an iron cannot even get out.

Loved it

This was my first rental. I wear anything from an 8-12. Got this in a 10. I'm 5'9, 160 pounds. Length was perfect. I have large hips and wear a 34DDD and it fit my curves.

Professionally chic!

I was going for a professional Southern chic look for a recent all day job interview. I paired this dress with a blazer I already had and loved it! I usually wear an 18, but it wasn't available so I rented a 16 and 20. The 20 was a little loose but the blazer was fitted so it worked out well. The dress hit just below the knee and the dress is a lovely pale lavender tinted pink, and it has pockets! I want to buy this dress now!

Comfy, but Size up

It's a nice linen dress for work. Wore it to a conference. It was snug in the chest and stomach, so if you have some boobs, size up. The jacket helped hide the fact it was a bit snug.

Pretty pink!

Cute dress! I thought the top was very flattering. I thought the bottom ran large and was a bit long for my taste, but it was great for my work event. Linen... it wrinkles easily but is very comfy.

Great work dress

This was a simple sheath dress. It is a good everyday outfit for work and it has pockets! This was big on me as I'm between sizes. I would consider the material if you are planning on renting. It is linen and doesn't stretch. It is also lined.

Great work dress but wrinkles fast!

Love the color and fit of this dress -- the linen fabric is super light and nice for the hot summer weather of DC. But because it's linen it also wrinkles immediately! I sit at a desk most of the day so it was wrinkled immediately. Fit would have been even better if it was a petite- the top was a little big (from waist up). But overall I really liked it. Would have worn it more than once if it didn't wrinkle so bad.

I love the fit and color of this dress but it wrinkles so easily. It's a shame because it's an easy wear and can be dressed up or down.

Didn't realize it was linen!

I didn't read the description because I have seen this style in person in other colors. I don't think I would have rented it if I had known. I tried it on anyway and wore it because I loved the fit. As you'd expect, it wrinkled quite easily. I sized down, as J Crew tends to run big.

it's a beautiful dress, the color looks superb on tan skin.

Put it on over your head otherwise it won't fit, especially if you have curvy hips.

Pretty Professional

The fit is perfect for me--hugs in all the right places and isn't too short. The color is a beautiful pastel. I wore it with nude Stuart Weitzman pointy toe pumps, a gold wrist stack and diamond studs. Highly recommend

Lovely color and concept

Probably prefer size 4 to 6. The color and great upper sleeve details is so elegant. These types of dresses never feel quite right on me because I'm a straight body type and it always bunches weirdly around my hips. It looks wrinkly but I was too rushed to put an iron on it
