Love the simplicity

I love everything about this dress! The pattern is cute and timeless, and the colors add a fresh touch. It’s so easy to wear and looks great with casual wedges. New favorite!

So cute! I wore it with cowboy boots to a rodeo and got lots of compliments on it. Nice linen weight for summer.

Comfortable dress with lining.

This was cute. I liked the side buttoning, but it did feel fragile. I was always afraid the buttons would pop off or it would come unbuttoned.

Flattering but tight in top!

Great dress! Wore it to a bridal shower. Overall fit was comfy and the length/slit were appropriate. The top was a bit tight, mostly in the chest (not in the shoulders). Super cute and got lots of compliments!

Very cute! Got to show off my brand new baby bump in this dress. Was worried the buttons would gap, but no issues at all.

Summer Party Dream

I wore this for a family birthday party and received so many compliments! It's definitely on the modest side, but sits in all the right places and the green really pops! It's also extremely comfortable

Cute but nothing special

This is a pretty dress but I wouldn't rush to rent it. I don't think it really did much for me, just kind of looked like an elevated tablecloth. It was hard to lift my arms even though the rest of the dress fit. Just okay!

I got so many compliments on this dress! I couldn't get it zipped over the waistline where the top and bottom are sewn together, but luckily I could button up the front.

Safe rental but nothing special

The dress fit nicely, easy to wear and a cool material in warm weather. I did not feel great in this rental, it was okay but a little plain for my taste.

Fits pretty well, although the neckline tends to gape a little.

I wore this instead of wearing shorts - as September has been pretty hot. I wore it on vacation, with my gal pals to lunch and just because!

I was able to wear a bra with it, which is a bonus! Only con for me was that I had to iron the sleeves a little.

Flattering and easy dress

When I immediately found the dress I wasn’t wowed by the color, but ordered it anyways because I liked the look and when it arrived I found it was a very flattering color in! I also loved the button details on the dress and it was an easy wear.

Super cute, especially if you’re into cottage style

I thought about buying this because it fit so well, but ultimately felt like it wasn’t my true style. However, it was still really cute and I did get a couple compliments on it.

So cute and fit great!

This is so cute and fit like a glove! I’ve never ordered number sizes from madewell before so I was a little nervous but it was perfect in my TTS. One of the seams under the bust is ripping but I still wore the dress, hopefully they can fix it or retire this particular dress.

Received so many compliments

I wore this so many times. Would have bought it or kept it longer but the print is too recognizable lol. I loved it. It was fitted without being tight, the fabric is lightweight and keeps you cool. I got so many compliments - people on the street and sidewalk and even my apartment building would just shout how much they loved it lmao!!

Cute dress; great fit

Love this dress. Fit well - just enough of an A line for my pear shape. The gingham fabric made it a cute summer dress. I wore this to work (we have a casual setting). Thought about purchasing - I love this dress, but not my favorite color/print. Would rent again.

Pretty Color, Cute Pattern

This was a very cute dress and I received many compliments each time I wore it. The color is super pretty in person and it is comfortable to wear in the summer. As someone with wide hips, I did opt to wear shapewear underneath but I'm sure most people won't need it.

A-line shape is becoming to an hourglass figure. Zips up the back so you do not have to mess with the buttons. Lighweight
