Second time I've rented

I love this dress, the color is great! I probably could've sized down one or two sizes. This dress is very forgiving due to the pleated style.

Great dress!

Roomy all over, but I wore as is-no belt, and was very happy with it. Great shoulder season dress for early Fall. Does cling a bit so recommend shape wear or tights. Lots of compliments! Would be great for holiday.

Large and flowy

I could have gotten away with a large. I need to accessorize to make it work but I did get a lot of compliments. Pictured with my walking shoes but it looked great with black pumps in the office

Runs big, NOT burnt orange like the description, but a pretty burgundy

Wore this to my daughters’ Christmas dance recital and though I liked it and it was comfortable, I think the size small would’ve looked better and a little less shapeless on me. It was also quite static-y. Every time I would successfully get the static out, I’d have to put on my wool coat to go outside and it would come back. It also came with a lot of wrinkles in it (not the intentional vertical ones, but ones from being packed in the bag and some permacreases), that I had to work pretty hard to stream out. It was a beautiful dress, great for the holidays and I would rent it again (in a size small), but it did take some work. Also, they list this as a burnt orange, but it is definitely NOT orange. It is a lovely wine red/burgundy color.

Great dress

I'm always between S and M with Madewell but after reading other reviews I went with the small. This fit great except it was a little tight in the sleeves (probably a "me" problem but maybe it's the sacrifice for perfect fit everywhere else?.) I might rent again in Medium to see what I think because it's a great, easy dress that I could see myself owning and wearing through seasons. Would rent again!!!

Perfect dress

This is a sweet shift dress you can dress up or down so easily! The plisse pleating is great to hide flaws. There is a side slit to the knee that allows movement. The color is a beautiful burgundy/wine. I have no idea why anyone would call it burnt orange, but the picture is true to the actual color. I had it on for 5 minutes and wanted to buy it. As a mid-forties woman with a rapidly shifting shape (thanks, menopause) this shows off what I want to accent and hides what I wish would disappear.

The dress felt very good on the skin. It was not clingy at all, showed no flaws, elegant looking, very comfortable, soft material. May be a bit see through in the sunlight.
