Fun print, comfy skirt, nice pockets, top was a little tight
I found the armholes a bit too high & tight, and the button at the back of the neck kept catching on my hair all day -- so I only wore it once. I wore it to work with a navy cardigan for chilly conference rooms. The print is very cute and I loved the pockets!

Stiff fabric, not very flattering
I thought I would like the print for end-of-summer party vibes, but the shape felt kinda dumpy and the very wide cap sleeves were very unflattering for my shape. The fabric is stuff and somewhat heavy, so if it is actually hot outside, this won't work. I didn't wear it.

Fit weirdly, didn't wear it
The print is very fun, but the fit around the torso was baggy / wrinkly and not at all flattering. I put it on, looked in a mirror for < 30 seconds, and took it off again. Alas. Two stars for the cute print and pockets, though!

Fun but frumpy
Love the bright colors and the fun balloon sleeves! I had to wear a turtleneck under because wool is itchy, there was plenty of room for layering. The overall fit of the body wasn't very flattering; it was wide at the hips but only partially narrower towards the natural waist, all in a way that just made me look more pear-shaped. Also the fit across the collarbone and over the arms was a bit weird, it was oddly tight on first wearing but got more comfortable after a bit of wear. Honestly I'd rent it again because I liked the colors (and the warmth) so much, but I think it would be cuter if it either had a more fitted cut or went full boxy.

Odd mix of racy and conservative
I'm usually a size 6 and I'm very short-waisted. This dress was a weird mix -- it has a very very deep plunge neckline (hello girls) but then a long past-the-knee hemline...I just couldn't reconcile the overall look. And while it fit great, and I loved the colors, it was not quite stretchy enough in the skirt for dancing all night (which is what I needed for my occasion). I would consider renting it again and adding a lacy black cami to match the feel of the neckline to the hemline.

Wish I could've worn it, but it was huge
Dang this thing runs BIG. I'm generally a 6 (and very short-waisted), I rented a 4, but I definitely needed a 2 or possibly a 0...which is not a size I have ever been in my adult life. But if you can make it work for your body, the look is fabulous. Sequins for dayyyyyys and I couldn't have loved the color more!

Super cute, but very high neck
Quite comfortable & stretchy, and the sparkles are great! The 4 fit perfectly even though I'm usually a 6. I'm very short-waisted so I usually wouldn't wear a pencil-ish style, but this one totally worked. LOVED the back drape, would look awesome with any kind of updo. The only downside is that the neckline is so high-cut I felt a bit like I was choking if I didn't keep my posture straight. So I didn't wear it this time, but I would rent it again for a cocktail party.

Should have sized up
Gorgeous dress, amazing color, definitely a great way to dress up and feel flirty while still being relatively conservative. I'm usually between a 4 and 6, depending on the brand & style. I tried on a 6 in this, and while I got it on and I could have worn it, it would've been uncomfortable for a long event. I should've ordered an 8. I didn't end up wearing it.

Very. Tight. Bodice.
I got it on (size 4), but I could barely inhale. The bodice shape smooshed my bust like an old-school stomacher, so I didn't try ordering up a size; but I think a 6 would have fit. Other reviewers are correct that the hemline has some funky wrinkles, but I thought the pattern was busy enough to camouflage them.

Whoa deep V
Surprisingly comfortable for a sequin dress, and a slightly large fit and flare shape (I tried on a size S). Loved the color, and the short length is very sassy! But the v-neck was so low that I did not have a compatible bra, and I do not have a body shape that allows me to go braless in unsupported dresses. So I didn't get to wear it.

Way too small in the arms
Very cute style and I love the deep plum base color...but the sleeves were just too tight and short. They felt like they were squeezing my arms and the sleeve length didn't even hit my wrists in the size M.

Great for zoom meetings
Warm and cozy, loved the colors, excellent for taking lots of work video meetings from a cold house. I wore it with a thin turtleneck under, as I am sensitive to wool, and that worked well.
