This top is incredible but it absolutely runs large!!! I am normally a size medium and typically like things a little big, but XS was the only size left and it fit perfectly. The fabric is heavy and high quality, and the cut is super flattering. Would absolutely rent again/recommend to others!

This shirt is one of my favorite rentals to date! So comfortable, great length and cut. The material is lighter than I expected so it will be a great summer shirt. There's a keyhole in the back that I really love. I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy so I have a mini baby bump right now, but this shirt is nice and roomy and you can't even tell! I'm going to keep this as long as my bump will allow!

The fit was perfect for me and I loved the detail on the bottom. The color was pure black and not faded. I wore it under a suit and with skinny jeans and a blazer out. Absolutely loved it. 

I've rented this top before. This time I wore it out to lunch, out to my bf's birthday dinner, to church and for NYE! It's such a versatile top. I love the flare at the bottom and the fit at the bust. It lays so nicely!

This top was perfect for the event I had Saturday night. I attended a party at a penthouse on the upper west side of Manhattan and I felt cool and chic but most importantly COMFORTABLE! I paired the top with skinny black party pants from JCrew and fancy flats and it was the perfect ensemble for a fun night out. I highly recommend this top!

This top is comfortable, will look cute with a variety of pants & is a classic with a twist. I'll be renting it again.

Lovely top, high quality fabric that allows for  it hang beautifully. Let's be clear about other reviews, yes--it's roomy where it's meant to be, it flares out in all directions but it looks lovely. You can tell it's meant to fit that way because the arm and chest area fit perfectly in my regular size. 

Loved this black top, but definitely a roomy fit - size down! The keyhole back and frayed edge detail makes this little black top special. Will be renting again !!

Nice fabric, flowy yet flattering fit. Definitely size down, and plan to wear with skinny pants. Tough to wear a short sweater or jacket over this top due to the longer length.

I am a usually a huge fan of Elizabeth and James. I love their dresses but was not impressed with this top.  The material is very nice but the fit is a little awkward. And ran big...typically wear size 8 in their dresses (they run small) but this top was almost too big in size small. Ended up still wearing it but would not rent again. 

Loved this top - loads of compliments - would rent again.  Super cute! 


I wish I owned this top. So flattering and comfortable. Fit perfectly.

This too was really cute, fit well and is perfect for my 5 month baby bump. I ended up wearing the Small (my pre pregnancy size was a 2 or 4). The shirt has a little stretch to it and the back is great. 

This shirt is awesome!! I've kept for weeks ! May break down and buy it!  Figure flattering and perfect for many occasions, casual to chic!

I wore this 4 different times, 4 different ways! Skirt, jeans, white pants-loved and almost bought. Next time I rent it I may just buy it!

This a super chic shirt, however I ordered a large with a small back up size and the small was too short and the large was unavailable so I was unable to wear.

I absolutely loved this and wished I owned. I would wear this all the time if I could. 

Really flowy, does not wrinkle. Great fabric. Loved it so much I tracked it down online to buy it. The medium fit me well, with just a little much space under the arms. I probably could have gone to the small but they did not have it as a backup. Anyway, I loved it.

I felt pretty in this top. It was super comfy. The waist didn't fit like it did in the photos. Maybe it was just the wrong size for me!

Fun details, very closely, flattering fit 

I rented this blouse to wear to work and was more than thrilled when I received it. The fit is just slightly large but still looks amazing on and the fabric feels luxurious. I want to rent this again but it is so in demand that it keeps being unavailable. Definitely would recommend it!

Although the shirt was a little larger than expected (I could have fit in the small if it was available-but I didn't want to wait!) I loved the cut, material, and design of it. I wore it with black jeans and black booties to work and got numerous compliments. I would suggest sizing down but definitely renting this Elizabeth and James top! 

This was such a cute top to wear out shopping and visiting friends.  I wore it with white jeans and black sandals.  I'll definitely rent this again.  I loved it!!!

Fit great, was fitted in the top then flowy, the sides do scoop up so i needed to wear high waisted jeans to not be showing any skin at work, but I got compliments all day. The material just looks nice and high end, the style only adds to that!

You can dress it up or keep it simple. Loved this top!! Arm holes are not too big. Runs true to size. Its a nice material. Do it. Rent it. Go on a date or wear it to work!

Loved it with jeans and a night out with the girls!

The fit and fabric are beautiful. It's supposed to drape elegantly. Wore with white jeans and got many compliments. 

I loved this top for a date night out to a comedy show. I wore it with some leather leggings and boots. It's really flattering and a hot on date night. 

Wore this a couple times, once casually during the day and once to go out at night with white jeans, was really cute! I think it is pretty forgiving in its shape, I am 30 weeks pregnant and not huge but definitely covered and even hid how big I feel.  Would rent again! Size down if you want a more fitted look.

Super cute top! Wore once with jeans, and another time with white shorts. Very versatile. Great quality shirt! 

super cute, but a little big in the midsection.  Would rent again with unlimited if it ever is available! It must be a hot item!

Great fit, perfect for a date night. The cut is really slimming and the material is nice! 

This has some serious luxury styling to it. People raved about it and wanted to know where they could get it. And my oh my was it comfortable and flattering.

This top is simply the best! It is a true to size fit, great fabric and drape. The peplum hangs just as it's shown on the model and the fringed edge is a nice touch... highly recommend!
