Perfect black dress

Was obsessed with this dress and would’ve purchased if a better price. It looked so elegant and could be buttoned all the way up or unbuttoned one or two. It fits a little on the boxy side but still was so flattering

Cute work dress

This was a perfect length to feel comfortable at work, and the material is very sturdy. It is not super form-fitting, but still very cute.

Classy black dress

This dress was great length for taller girls! I did feel it ran a little bit but other than that it was a staple! Considered buying!

The perfect dress for a hot day exploring Paris. I was comfortable all day and never felt undressed at any of the bars/restaurants we went to.

Obsessed

I think this dress runs true to size for what it’s intended to look like - it’s a shift dress so it’s supposed to be a little oversized. I absolutely loved how it fit and can see myself renting it again!

Loved this dress! I probably could’ve sized down 1-2 sizes, but it was nice to throw on for work, date night, or every day!

So cute! Was a bit heavy with buttons, but looked great on! Wore to a work western party. Would size down if was wearing out to a non work event.

Sleek and elevated

Loved everything about this dress and wish I could keep! It is a heavier material but I loved the way it kept its shape and felt tailored. Amazing buttons and stitching and fit was perfect. I am tall and straight so not sure how it would work on someone shorter or petit.

Really cute with a slick back and pointy toe heels

Material is MUCH heavier than I was expecting. Thought it was going to be more of a black denim material, but it's just black. Still got many compliments on it!!

Good work option for petites

Even though my office isn’t even slightly conservative, I rented this as an option when I go back to work next week. The length is good for me at 5’2” and I love the oversized gold buttons. I don’t love how thick and stiff the fabric is because it gives the dress a very boxy look. I prefer a more fitted look, but this was a good one-time rental and would recommend it for a more conservative office than mine.

This dress was on the heavier side but I liked that. I definitely sized up too much, but the length was perfect at this size. The top half was just a bit too big

Great designer quality

This dress fit me perfectly with a little breathing room. A smidge long for me being 5’3. Felt well made, beautiful bold gold buttons. Only thing is the fabric is very thick! A little heavy for summer. and when I sat, bc it’s so thick it bulged over at the waist. Other than that, it’s a nice dress! Would still rent again.

Was worried about the button up with my chest but should have sized down. Way too roomy and doesn’t show off a figure. Heavy fabric. Cute in concept and wanted to love

Very chic

This dress is super chic and is the perfect length. Great option to wear to work. The buttons were super heavy though and some of them were kind of droopy which didn't look as polished. But overall loved and fit TTS.

Fit is TTS and fabric is thick & appropriate for work, but it is a shift dress so if you're not into that style of dress, best to pick another style
