A lot of material, but I liked this dress.

Not a lot of compliments, but husband loved it. I would have worn different shoes, but need closed toes for work.

Color! Pockets!

Adore this vintage feel dress. Fit well, but note that it is snug on the upper body - if you have large chest/arms, you may want to size up.

Beautiful but a little tight in the ribcage

Wore this to a women’s event for work. It was beautiful and perfect for the venue, but I had to use some fashion tape to make sure it didn’t gape between the buttons.

Beautifully cut!

I’m a huge fan of the structure of Ted baker dresses and this did not disappoint. Received so many compliments while in this and originally just wore to work but ended up getting so much more use out of it. Has an extremely full skirt with lots of fabric. The top is very fitted and was a slightly tight in the ribcage for me. I usually lean more toward size 0 but got this in a 2 and worked well. Will 100 be renting this beauty again.

Super cute, very appropriate for work. It is like dress shirt material but is is lined to make the bottom more poofy. It is stunning

Structured beauty

This is one well made dress. I’ve never been disappointed by Ted Baker and this dress is no exception. It’s conservatively cut, but fitted in the bodice the extra detail in the sleeve cups is also really pretty. If I bought this dress, I know I’d get a lot of wear out of it.

Ted Baker delivers a beautiful silhouette.

I've wanted to rent a Ted Baker item for a while, and this dress did not disappoint! I rented it for work, but it could easily be worn for brunch, dinner, or church. While it is a heavy dress with a lot of fabric, the structure and quality create a beautiful silhouette. The perfectly placed darts and contrasting volume made me feel amazing. I loved it so much that I wore it multiple times!

Very much a Party Dress

Like when you’re a kiddo and you have a party dress, this is a grown up version of that style a feel. It’s very flouncy and a little bit shiny. I wouldn’t wear it to daytime work but wore it to a work party and it was great.

Beautiful and romantic summer dress

I wore this from office to evening out but it could easily be worn out as an evening or shower dress. Romantic vibe with fit and fabric. More structure than expected so the skirt flairs. Felt like a garden princess. Will rent again

Feminine and flattering

An easy work dress. The fabric was forgiving and the pattern was pretty. Loved the length of the dress and pockets. The sleeves are almost like origami with complex folding that is interesting. Overall it was an easy and lovely rental.

A lot of fabric, fit is TTS

Pros: pockets, work appropriate, lovely feminine fabric pattern, nice detail on the sleeves Cons: heavy with an extra underlayer of fabric on the skirt to give it more volume. This makes it hot for summer and also I thought made me look wider than I wanted to look

Wore to Sunday church/work

It was alright but not my favorite! Fit just right and a lil tight on the arms. If you’re in between sizes I would size up. I got a size 6 and feel like the 8 would have worked too!

A lot of fabric

This is a beautiful dress with great fabric and pattern. But at 5'1" I felt overwhelmed by the fabric. I could do a full twirl but I feel it would be suited better for a taller person.

Nice work dress for standing still

Pros: looks nice, flattering cut, pockets, pin tuck sleeve detail. Cons: no give. waist/ribcage and tummy area a tad too small for me so looked like I was bursting out. Sleeves do not work for reaching my arms forward or up. The fabric will stop you or cut into you.

I wore this for a long train ride to NYC with some sneakers and walked for a couple hours around the city. Then through on some heels and big earrings for a fancy evening event. It was perfect!
