gorgeous pink professional 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 beautiful

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).

Professional Pop of Color

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.

A lovely shift dress that's worth the try.

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.

Super cute yet professional. Loved it. A smidge tight in the arms and chest-something to think about if you are busty and have bigger arms like me.

Classic Ladylike Style

I wore this to a campaign fundraiser and got so many compliments! I'm usually a 4, but had to size up to get this to zip. I wore it in nearly 90 degree heat and was afraid the tweed would be to hot but it was perfect.

Very cute but runs small

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.

Really loved but slip showed

This dress has a built in slip and for some reason the end of the slip was a bit longer than the dress so it popped out occasionally — otherwise super cute and classy!

My husband loved this on me!

My husband wanted me to buy it, but for the price it wasn’t worth it because the lining was a tad longer than the dress (you can see in the picture I uploaded). Other than the lining the feet was great! I love the style and the buttons!

Cute dress, not for my body shape

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!

The underlining was longer than the dress

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

Maybe time to retire this one??

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.
