Comfortable and flattering

The ribbing detail on the dress and at the waistline made this dress very flattering. The material was soft, comfortable, and worked well with my curves. Great dress for a winter baby shower.

A little big around the waist.

If you’re in between 4-6 I would recommend you size down. This dress was very comfy but the more I moved around in it the bigger it felt like it got. This dress was comfy and professional.

Great dress!

This was a perfect dress for some work photos where the theme was neutral. I loved that this dress was form fitting, but not at all tight. Fit just perfect and was so flattering.

Felt great in this

Wore this dress during a presentation and felt so confident. Not too long on my 5’3 frame which is always a plus with midi-type dresses.

Loved it

Super flattering to my short curvy frame and tummy, and I got so many compliments on it. It’s cozy and comfortable, yet elevated. Wish I could have kept it, and will probably get in another shipment.

Flattering, professional and comfortable

While the color is a little blah, material was very comfortable, fit well and was thick enough to feel like it covered enough to wear to work. Really like this one!

Great Sweater Dress

I love sweater dresses because they're like the ultimate comfort item in the cold, but I usually struggle to actually find ones that I can wear for an 8 hour work day, but this one was great. It wasn't overly baggy or overly fitted, and it wasn't the type that super loosened throughout the day and started looking completely different. Would definitely rent again.

Wore this to work, out to dinner and as a host on Thanksgiving. So comfortable, stylish and versatile! Arm sleeves are a bit short which is actually nice for cooking.

Not my favorite

This dress was fine, I found it a bit drab in person. Maybe better for the office. Although, it is very formfitting. I wore tights under it and was bothered that you could see lines through the dress. The arms were also short on me.

Fine work dress

I’ve been on a Rails kick recently and rented this thinking it was going to be buttery soft like the last couple of sweaters I’ve rented. It’s not uncomfortable but it’s not cozy. Fine for work, certainly not a show stopper.
