Great texture. Easy fit.

Very comfortable, easy for work dress. It’s conservative enough for the office while still adding a fun detail.

Flattering

This wasn’t my favorite but I got a lot of compliments on it. The armpit holes were a little big (showed my bra a little) but was otherwise very worn appropriate. Worked well with a blazer

Cute, but Clingy

Based on other reviews, I ordered a medium. I usually take a large, so this was a good call. The dress is cute, but because it's sweater material, it's clingy and I think it makes me look bigger than I am. Also, I'm low waisted, so the waist didn't hit me at the right spot. I added a thin belt just to accentuate my waist so I wouldn't look so thick.

Great casual dress, perfect weight and looks great dressed up or casual

I loved the weight of this dress. It's perfect for a casual party, but would also be great dressed up. It lies nicely since the fabric is thicker.

Versatile, comfortable, great material!!

I wore this dress several times for various events over the course of three weeks! Versatile, great quality material (that is stretchy) comfortable and bump friendly (I was between 27-30 weeks when I wore it!) I’m 5 ft 2 in and usually wear a size small/4-6 in regular clothing. I ordered this in a small (with bump) and it fit amazingly! For ladies with no bump would consider sizing down for backup given the amount of great stretch dress has! Had I not been pregnant, I could have probably fit in XS.

Beautifully made

Loved this dress, but wish it had pockets. Runs large and I've gotten Kate Spade stuff before that ran small, so I sized up. Should have gone with XS though as I had a lot of extra fabric around the waist which made for comfort, but not flattering. Thick material and well made and good length for a conservative event.

Great dress!

I loved this dress and am thinking hard about keeping it. The fit is forgiving and flattering, and I got a ton of compliments every time I wore it. It's a really versatile piece, I wore it for work, a dinner at a business conference, and with high boots for a cocktail party.

Great dress!

I could have sized down on this one but it still looked great. The material is heavy and comfortable. Received lots of compliments. Wore with black tights once and with a denim jacket and booties another time. One of my favorite rentals!

I liked the thick knit material and details around the arms. I ordered a XS, and it was a little big in the waist.

Cute dress. Easy to wear. But it runs a little big.

I rented this dress to wear to a baby shower, and a brunch. Cute dress, but like others have said it runs a little big . On me it was a great fit in the shoulders and bust, but too big in the waistline. I solved this by wearing a belt. The dress is a heavy knit fabric and I think I could have sized down for a better fit. Overall it was very comfortable and easy to wear style. I would rent this style again.

The dress was not very flattering. Kind of loose all over. And the hem was a little tighter than the rest of the skirt.

A top RTR find!!

This dress is gorgeous, possibly one of my favorite rentals to date. The material is thick and supportive (read: hides lumps and bumps) and has a great flow. I like that it's black-and-white but also has a lot of graphic appeal. It's cute but also conservative enough for work, thanks to the boat neckline.

Fun mod look!

I wore this with a black long sleeved shirt underneath, a thin black patent leather belt, black tights and booties for a fun "mod" 60's look. The stripes are very flattering. The fabric doesn't wrinkle and is warm - perfect for a cold winter day.

LOVED THIS

I loved this dress, I went back and forth on whether or not to just buy this dress. I wore it about 5 times to work and once to a more formal event. I loved the texture, it was such a different looking texture and dress. As the texturing/stitching runs vertically, it's very slimming. It wasn't overly hot for being a sweater dress, and I wore it during spring. Adding a shirt underneath during fall and then tights during winter makes this a pretty good year round option. I'll probably rent again, still considering buying

Lovely dress, but didn’t work for me

I love the pattern, the style. Nice weight of knit so it is thin enough to be flattering but not thick enough to be bulky. I would have loved it but it just wasn’t flattering on my body type.
