Well-made dress, beautiful color

Another fabulous work dress, and the color gives it real pop. I work as a consultant in a business professional atmosphere so I crave dresses like this one,

Professional dress - great brand!

I rented this for a presentation and felt comfortable and confident. I'll rent it again! I'm tall and appreciated the conservative fit. If you are short or young, you may think this is matronly looking. I loved it. Fabric was high quality with some subtle stretch. Received new with tags!

Runs big, order 2 size down

Based on other reviews I ordered size 8 when I’m usually a 12 in dresses specially after December holidays and it was still too lose in the waist!

beautifully tailored, but runs large

I was so excited to wear this dress, as it was perfect for the speech I gave to Stony Brook University commencement last month. If it wasn't for the podium, I probably would not have worn it. It was way too big in the waist, but fortunately, you could only see me from the waist up lol! again, it's a beautiful dress, but it looks like it has been rented many times… Would love to see what it looks like brand new.

Not "too large" but definitely runs a little roomy

Gorgeous color Slightly long for the slightly short (I'm somewhere between 5'4-5'5, it's definitely below the knee) A little extra room but so comfortable; fabric is soft and thick (and thus forgiving) and I could wear it all day. In fact, I have, with heels and tights, and I was none the worse for wear. Very office appropriate

Runs true to size/a bit small

I'm a true 12 and I ordered a 10 because it was all they had available but it was way too small. Order your size or size up. Nice dress, but very boring/plain.

A little tight up top. But, it's very flattering.

I would have worn it, but the ice storm came, and I sent it back to receive warmer dresses this week! I will likely rent it again later when the weather warms up this Spring.

Stand out in a sea of black and navy suits in this professional dress

Wore to a regional meeting during which I was a presenter. With gold jewelry and and ivory pashmina, to keep the chill out the chill. I’m 5’5”, and this was mid calf length on me, very flattering cut and color. I got tons of compliments. It skimmed my curves, however I noticed by the end of the day it had really stretched out in the back from sitting, so I would not have been able to wear out for dinner that night.

Meh

Nothing special. I ended up not wearing it because it was too big in the waist and hips. A fairly boring dress; there are lots of better-looking red dresses to choose from.

Maybe it was me? This was kinda loose in the bust and hips & very big in the waist. I wish I’d rented it when I was pregnant - it would’ve fit amazing then!

fit large, but also seemed like unforgiving fabric

This fit way too large but if I had sized down I am not sure how flattering that would be either. It could probably use lining.

Too Large!

Love the brand but this is an unlined piece that just hangs if you are a size too big. The type of material requires it to fit like a glove or it looks like a sack of potatoes. Go a size smaller if you take the risk!

Really weird fit

Much too big in the waist, and a little big in the bust too. Yet it was running tight in the hips already in the 6 so I couldn't have gone smaller. Color was much more red than burnt orange in person, and the overall look was matronly. Will not rent again.
