Loved this so much! Flattering!

Wore this for both work events AND nights out with my hubby. Considering purchasing it, would definitely rent again and add to regular rotation. You can dress this up or down... The perfect black dress. Just enough stretch in the material to be form fitting but not overly tight/snug

Very cute dress with clever design and details

Love this dress! The buttons are fun and just a little different, and the snaps in between the buttons mean no awkward gaps/skin flashes. It is definitely a close fit but very flattering. Have already rented twice.

Iron before you try it on.

Fits great, but I am little thicker in my hips so a size up could have been nice. However, it could have also messed up the overall fit as the top fit really well. Definitely iron before you go through the hassle of the buttons and snaps. Material vet forgiving so a little snug still doesn't look inappropriate.

Great for Work - Professional and Sexy!

Love this dress, 2nd time renting! Its very flattering and I always receive compliments when I wear to work and it easily transitions to after work plans if needed. Did find it hard to pair a light jacket/sweater with for cooler fall temps so I reccomend renting when you dont need anything additional.

Great Black Dress

It’s on the tighter side of true to size, I’m a 4-6 and I couldn’t begin to squeeze into a 4. It’s very figure flattering, but ok for work. I loved it!

So much more than just a LBD. It is cumbersome with all of the buttons, but was so flattering!! Stretchy and comfortable.

Awkward but flattering?

Admittedly, getting this all buttoned and laying right took a bit, but it’s a little stretchy, a little tight… and I think somehow just worked. Would rent again.

Up down all around

So cute. A little stretch. Thank goodness the cotton fabric has all the ruching to hide the wrinkly fabric. Slide on some flip flops and have an evening along the river walk, or throw on some sling backs and dress this cute LBD up!

Not for petites

The top felt a little too broad in the shoulders while being a little too tight in the hips. And, the buttons went down so far that I felt like I was shuffling more than walking. It’s unlined cotton. Nice dress, just not for me.

Classy and sexy. A little tight through bottom for hippy gals. I did struggle a bit with the button sitch - only half the buttons are functional.

Just ok

I really wanted to like this dress. The first time I ordered it it was too small, ordered again in size 10 which was a good fit. A bit long. What I thought would be unique with the asymmetrical buttons, ended up being a strange fit.

PERFECT for Networking/work events

Casual enough that it doesn't feel too overdressed and still elevated enough for work-related or networking events. The material is stretchy enough and designed to fit well and snug without being too constrained or baggy

This is a great, classic dress. It is very curve hugging so beware. The buttons are functional with hooks between each button to keep the dress together and secure. I loved it and wore it to 2 different work events.

Both work appropriate and attractive

Totally appropriate for work, but could definitely double as a date night LBD. I found it ran a little small and I could have sized up. LOTS of buttons to deal with for getting on and off though. Just a heads up.

Fits is so off

I’ve been looking at this dress for over a year—tried in a size 4, which would l typically be my size; so tight it was unwearable (as all the other reviews mentioned). Going to try in a size 6 on my next shipment. Love the versatility of the design.
