This dress was so frustrating. It is so beautiful and the material is fabulous and does not wrinkle, but I found it big in the mid section so I belted it which helped…but instead of the zipper going all the way up the side it goes up to the waist and then there are snaps at the rib cage on the side and these snaps are so tiny that they do not stay closed so I kept popping the side the entire time I was wearing it and so I kept having to re-snap it which was not easy to do because of the location of the snaps. Because of this, I would not rent it again. 

Gorgeous for, gorgeous fabric! What’s not to love?

Loved how the dress moves as you walk. Super soft, silky fabric. Loved this rental!

This dress pattern is gorgeous, the fabric is great, and the fit is flattering. The zipper on the side ends with three snap buttons that come unsnapped every time you sit down, stand up, or move. If the zipper ended further up, this dress would be a dream. I wore it for 3 hours and had to resnap those buttons about 150 times.

The side zipper has three snaps at the top that wouldn’t stay snapped. My arm covered them so not a huge deal, but the zipper was digging into my side all day. 

Couldn’t lift my arms and still loved every second! 

Is this a nice dress? Yes. The fabric is very nice and the pattern is perfect for fall, and fits over a baby bump.
Will I be renting this again? No. The button snaps under the arm are very annoying and come apart right away, the zipper stayed zipped for the most part because my husband was able to hook the clasp when I was getting ready this morning, but I’m just grateful that I wore a black bra today since the buttons were open all day, despite best effort efforts.
I have a pretty small bust, so I usually ignore any comments about a garment being tight in the chest, but believe it with this one.

This dress is so pretty but a great pattern but the buttons on the side snap open any time I put my arms up!

As many others noted the closure buttons are just awkwardly located right below the armpit. Everything fit perfect, but with each movement of the arm, the tiny buttons popped open. I couldn’t wear this since it was clear that it would be constant. I quickly sent it back to find something else. Sad because it’s a beautiful dress. 

I am between 10 and 12, sometimes 8! I got the size 10 and it was too tight on my waist (34 inches) and the 12 is perfection. A little large on the breast but looks good 

Beautiful colors and print, I loved the construction. Fit well everywhere except the snaps on the side, as other reviewers mentioned as well. Because the material doesn’t have give, when you move those snaps pop. Sizing up for some give would have made it too big everywhere else for me. I wore to dinner once and hid that part of the dress with my purse. Consider sizing up. 

I took off one star because the buttons on the side pop open so easily. I actually had to have my coworker button it back up for me in the middle of a client event. 

A perfect dress for the autumn 🍂 I dressed it up with a belt. A tiny bit tight in the chest for 36DD.

I would rent again… it is a great dress for the fall

This is a beautiful dress. It feels good on. It has a sheer lining in the skirt. It’s silk & it lays nicely, beautiful length for Tall gals. It is a FIXED waistband that zips, has a clasp, and then three snaps up the side. If you get it to be fitted, it will have to fit your ribs or you won’t be able to raise your arms. I have broad shoulders and thick waist and luckily sized up. I did have the snap come undone -just one snap -3 separate times -and I was able to reach over on the side and discreetly snap it back. It’s a little tricky, but it’s a fun dress to have for the print if you have an event to wear it to. I wore for a big all day customer event with the plaid Veronica Beard blazer. Sorry for the bathroom pic - I got NWT and wanted to share asap. 

I gave this two stars because the fabric is very nice.

This is a very difficult dress to wear.  The sizing was correct, however, there are snaps down the side of the dress, along with a closure hook and zipper. With every movement of my arm above the snaps, they all came undone. 
The dress was not too small, as you can see in the photo. The snaps are just in a very difficult place to close yourself, and they are too lightweight to hold the fabric together. 

This dress has been a hit! I put it on this morning.  It's a little loose but I normally wear a 12 so I wasn't surprised. Nice fabric, looks great. Wore it to a work meeting, 2 different women told me how great I look.

Excellent print and feel, very silky. Design concept with side flimsy snaps is just annoying. The dress fit well, not too snug although I could see how some would say it runs small. The snaps do not stay closed and they are nearly impossible to re-snap without assistance from someone else.
