Fun cut outs make the dress!

I wore this for a cute Sunday brunch date and the cut outs were the moment! The dress fit well and is great for everyday. You can style in so many ways!

Unique dress!

Loved this and got a ton of compliments, kind of confusing to figure out but I found putting the ties around my back and over the top of the shirt dress was the most flattering way to wear it

CLASSIC WHITE DRESS

Couldn’t imagine a more perfect white button down dress to kick off spring/summer!!! And has POCKETS! The cutouts in the back and sides kept me cool on the hot days I wore this. Also not see through with nude undies/bra. Fabric has a little stretch to it. I’m 5’8” and the length was perfect - not too short! Would rent again!

Cute for exploring but still feeling chic

I was surprised by how much I liked this. I'm not usually preppy but felt this had something unique to it that made me feel put together while exploring - shopping and walking around abroad.

Perfect fit

I rented the same dress about a year ago and then purchased it in blue. I love both. It’s a great fit and I receive tons of compliments when I wear them.

Preppy, crisp dress!

Loved the fit of this. I have a shorter torso, so I didn't get the cute cut-out pieces to show, but it fit well and I loved the open back. Wore this to a tennis open.

Crispy, classic, slightly sheer

I wore this dress on my vacation to Marfa, TX. Made with beautiful material, this dress is stunning in person. Giving 4/5 because the dress is slightly sheer so I recommend being mindful of what you were underneath.

Nurse

Beautiful cotton, perfect and crisp, but I looked like a nurse! I wore it to work on a hot day. Very comfortable. Pockets. I really loved it but the feedback from my coworkers was nurse!

Not sure, but it does have pockets!

On the fence with this number. I liked the lightweight material that wasn’t too sheer. And the style of the top portion and skirt was very clean and crisp. But the midsection was weird. I opted to tuck the shirt into the tie back like I saw on another review, but it still just didn’t flow from top to bottom. Definitely something different and fairly easy to wear. Might just be too funky for me. Also, I have an athletic build so it might work better for someone more long and narrow?

Can dress up or down

This was one of my favorite rentals. I paired with sneakers and received compliments all day on this at work. The side slits were not that noticeable. I wore nude underwear and bra and didn’t find it see thru. My only complaint would be that you definitely have to steam this out.

Super cute preppy look

Very cute dress for a dressed down preppy look. Wrinkles very easily though so I wished it was a slightly different fabric.

I wanted to love this more than I did

I wanted this dress to work out so bad, but in reality it was just a little more complicated than I wanted. Between the cutouts + the wrap around tie, it wasn’t as simple as wearing your typical shirt dress. I only wore it once.

Weird back, nice material

From the front it is very nice but from the back has no shape. It's still a fun and different piece though. Its also nice that it's not cotton, very little wrinkling, much fancier material
