Elyse Dress

This dress was a standout — the rich cobalt color was bold and eye-catching, and the pleated skirt gave it movement and sophistication. I wore it for a groundbreaking ceremony, and it struck the perfect balance of professional and powerful while still feeling feminine. The fit was comfortable and flattering, making it easy to wear through a busy day. It’s the kind of dress that makes you feel instantly confident and ready to lead.

Fabric is heavy. I wore to work and paired with belt. Got lots of compliments

Received numerous compliments on this dress. Makes your waist look very small.

This dress is gorgeous. Pretty thick material but flows super nicely. Only thing is the arm holes are slightly low but I didn't have any issues with that. Would def rent again!

Absolutely loved this dress! Wore to a birthday party, work event, and a business formal meeting with a blazer. Really thought about buying it bc it’s so comfortable too. You can tell the material is well made. I am glad I sized up for my chest because it is stretchy but the pattern on the dress would have started too high and looked weird in a large

This dress was well made, flattering, and wonderfully versatile. I wore it for a work trip with boots and out to dinner one night with heels. Definitely recommend!

It fit perfectly! I got so many compliments. It's a perfect and versatile dress for any event.

Loved this dress!! So flattering for work and could be easily dressed up for an event!

Can dress up or down/ layer for cooler days

got this dress for a work event and got so many compliments! fits like a glove. has little to no stretch

Comfy, work appropriate, beautiful color, still looked fresh at the end of the day

I loved this midi navy dress. Perfect for transitioning from work to after hours!! Fit was good, it’s not see through and the bra didn’t show too much on the side.

i LOVED this dress for work, will def be ordering again. if you have wide hips it is noticeable due to the shape of the dress but wasn’t that bad. love love love

Wore several times. Flattering and fit TTS. Superb quality.

This dress fit me well and was comfortable and appropriate for work. The material quality and thickness are very good. The arm openings were a bit revealing for my taste but I wear a jacket over sleeveless dresses to work anyway.

Arm holes are kind of large so I added a bandeau. Really beautiful dress, forgiving material.

Forgiving fit as it has stretch. Weighty knit so it did hold its shape. It is long, fit like a full length dress on me.

So comfortable and beautiful quality - plan for shapewear if you’re uncomfortable with a dress showing any tummy or lumps

This dress fits so well and while the material was thick, it wasn’t too hot for summer. Weird thing is the arm hole is big and came down a little low past my armpit but that’s a small complaint.

Really liked this one! It was comfortable and flattering.

Im a petite 5’2” and don’t typically wear dresses this length but this one was a win. Made me look taller and more feminine than the typical maxi dress. The color is gorgeous and the material is thick which makes it super flattering

The dress was great quality, the way it fell was flattering. It is a heavier fabric, but not hot.

Felt great in this dress, it is fitted on top and A line skirt and was very flattering. The top may be snug for someone bustier but as a 32B it was perfect. No need for a slip as fabric is thicker. A great spring or fall dress. Wore to a fundraising event. Wish I had another occasion to wear! May have to manufacture something.

This dress is lovely. Gorgeous blue — not quite navy but not quite royal. Heavy quality material that holds you in well. Perfect length and hangs so well. Loved wearing it.

Thick material. Packs well. Great color. Definitely clingy at the mid section which might not be for everyone. Might be long on a more petite frame. Overall, great dress.

Flattering for my postpartum stomach but a tad too long for my 5’4” stature.

Loved this material & how it drapes. Arm holes were too big on me so had to layer w something but it worked. Considering buying & will fix that part bc it's such a classic dress!

A bit tight in the body (needed shape wear), but a tad large in the arm holes… overall, a solid work dress though. Very nice pleats, which still have their structure.

Arm holes were sooo big my bra showed all night it was annoying. I like a cinched waist but this was so loose and the thick fabric made me look bigger

Didn’t love this one…the fabric felt oddly heavy and unflattering. The chest and arm cut reminded me of an Olympic swimsuit, which wasn’t the look I was going for.

Great for work at 6 months pregnant

Wore this to work several times, got lots of compliments from colleagues and strangers alike. The flare is really flattering.

This dress worked very well for an elevated cocktail event. It was a no fuss garmet. I was able to wear it right off of the hanger as it doesn't require ironing or steaming. I looked polished and felt comfortable. It was flattering for my top-heavy, apple figure.

This dress had a bit of heft to it, but it wasn't too warm for the season. I seriously considered buying this dress, but couldn't justify the price for a secondhand dress.

i loved it! very flatting -- hits at the waist but drops below so doesn't cling to your tummy. will definitely rent again. Amazing quality.

love these styles that staud puts out - thick material that gives you a great shape. so flattering! great for springtime work events. a little tough to get over my head / shoulders but so comfortable once on
