I love this dress, but not quite sure where I would wear it. It reminds me of a 60s Chanel dress. 

I sized up based on the reviews and was happy with the fit. This dress looks and feels expensive. Really pretty pink color. Modest length. Comfortable/easy to wear.

It’s just a really beautiful dress. It’s memorable, so I probably wouldn’t purchase it or hold on to it for too long unless you plan to use it in multiple settings. 

Only complaint: the lining kept showing for me (see photo). I just decided to ignore it. 

I went 1 dress size up to avoid it being too tight on my lower half (rented it before other reviews were available) and I think that was the right choice for my work setting. However, I do think you could stick to your true size (especially if you do not have a pear or hourglass body type). 

Honestly, the only two reasons I didn’t love this dress was because of the really high neck and the color just didn’t go well with my skin tone. Other than that, it fit really well and was comfortable and professional, which is exactly what I wanted.

This was definitely shouting Elle Woods or Jackie O vibes! It was a little short for me, but nicely lined. It ran a tad big, but I wouldn’t call it “overly” large. I rented a 12 and could have probably gotten away with a 10. 

The dress that I received had lining that was loose or too long - so you could see the white lining peaking out around the bottom of the dress, and a little around the neckline as well.
Otherwise, an ok choice to wear to work  occaisionally.


Loved this dress. Perfect fit and length. Heavy and good for a spring or fall transition. 

I love everything about this dress, it just doesn’t work for my apple shaped body. Made me look boxy. Such a bummer because it’s beautiful in person and has pockets!

Sized up consistent with the reviews and had plenty of space.  Could have gone with regular size 4 but the 6 worked just fine.  The length was great for work, and the thick material feels high-quality. The color is a fun pop but still professional for the office. The side pockets are convenient, though they do add a little extra puff on the hip area. Overall, it’s a cheerful and comfortable dress that stands out just enough.

Compliments. Comfy. Mostly. But Tight in the chest. 

I’m between a 0 and 2 these days and the 2 here fit (pictured) but was definitely on the tight side, particularly around the shoulders and chest. So I’d say size up one size! The color, material and buttons are all lovely and at interest to a work dress. 

This dress was great for a work conference. Just a tad short on me.

Very elegant work dress, love the color, fabric is thick, the design is classy, the length was what I was looking for, the only complaint was the liner was showing no matter what I did with it 

Loved this dress, fits true to size and there is no stretch. Thick material so wouldn’t recommend for hot weather. 

I rented this dress for work because I love a "pretty in pink" situation, and you really can't go wrong with this shift dress. My only issue was that the white lining would often shift and show as I walked throughout the day. However, if you're looking for a beautiful pink dress, this is still a great option to try.

It’s giving Elle Woods! Absolutely loved this dress

Adorable, yet professional dress! Loved this dress from the length to the sleeves, to the overall fit. Sophisticated and sweet for sure. Rent it! 

This dress is adorable! Great work dress that’s comfortable and easy to move around for your day. Highly recommend it for a corporate environment to add a fun pop of color and interesting button details!

The lining hangs out of the bottom of the dress, it is also visible in the collar. The zipper is difficult. Fit is very snug, size up. I was so excited for this one but it was a complete disappointment.
