I think this shirt is beautiful but I'm not very busty so I can't fill it out well. I would definitely need a tank top underneath if going to wear to work. Nice material though l, and very feminine. 

This blouse felt super fine. It had a little shine, but not enough to be overkill, just perfect for Christmas brunch. It did a bit loose, I had to use double side tape to keep in place. Over all I loved it!

High quality satin-like (not shiny) fabric falls gracefully from a perfectly cut kimono wrap.  Absolutely loved how I look in this, got so many compliments on this top and my boyfriend loved it. There is only one criticism -- the reason I didn't buy it -- I was often aware of a peekaboo exposure whenever I was sitting relaxed. I often had to check it and make little adjustments and that fussiness is what ultimately swayed me against it.  On my second wearing I used double-sided tape to keep it from gaping, but that's an imperfect solution.  Still, I'm not sorry I rented it.

Loved everything about this piece - cut, fabric, color. Had to pin too shut but otherwise this was perfect. 

This is so versatile and can be both dressed up and down. I wore this with a red bra for cocktails on Friday (it's super low cut) and then dressed it down with a black tank underneath for work on Monday. It feels sexy and expensive but very classy. One of my favorite rentals - I got a lot of use out of it.

I wasn't sure if I could wear the medium. The large ended up being the better fit. It wrapped more easily and felt comfy the whole night. It is lower cut. I didn't mind because with right bra it kept everything in place. Silky smooth!

I loved this top! It was the perfect choice for a classy chic outfit on my Champagne tasting tour while in Paris for my birthday.  The fit accentuated my hourglass figure with the tie waste style and lower cut neckline. I would definitely rent it again! 

I loved the style and the sleeves! Great for any work to date night option. 

Very pretty print and soft silky fabric with enough weight to drape nicely. Overall my regular size fit well, but was too low cut for church and a conservative brunch. I wore a camisole to compensate for the plunging neckline, but wish I had ordered up a size instead. The extra fabric in the wrap style would have helped make this a more modest choice. Liked it. 

I loved the feel of this against my skin. If I wore it to work I had to wear a black cami underneath. The sleeves were a little long/flared so I didn't wear it that often.

Beautiful quality silky material and very well made top.  Unfortunately, the fit wasn't the best for my straighter, athletic body type.  There is absolutely no stretch to the material.  The wrap and neckline gaped open and I had to wear a tank underneath.  The top would probably work better on hourglass figures with more curves at the waist.  I probably wouldn't rent again, but it was a beautiful top and I don't regret giving it a try.

Such a pretty top! The wrap is so flattering! It is very revealing in the chest, which was not a problem for me since I dont have anything to show, but other women may want to wear a tank underneath. I probably should have gone with the small, but the x-small was the only one available when I rented. It fit perfectly in the chest and waist but was tight in the upper back and shoulders so I could not raise both arms past my shoulders. I would definitely rent this again in a size small! 

This wrap top was sexy but I never felt like I wasn't covered.  I have a long torso, so it wasn't perfect for my shape, but it was cute for a date night.

This is a pretty top but was too much material on my frame, which made it less flattering. I couldn't wear it without a tank top underneath bc of the way it fit, and I think the look is nicer that way. Material is nice and soft. Wore it once to dinner and will send back. Would look better on others!

This top is so stunning. Even more beautiful than pictured. It is very flattering and makes my waist look tiny. The fabric is very silky and soft. The only con is that it needs to be tied pretty tight and it really limits any lifting of the arms above shoulder height. Great for work or a date night!

I rented this blouse for a Zoom meeting and wore it with a black camisole underneath for maximum comfort. This is a blouse that you could easily dress up with nice slacks and heels for a night out.  I got compliments during the meeting! I ended up buying it!

I am between an XS and a S, I ordered the XS because the S was unavailable. The top itself is gorgeous - very well made, beautiful silky fabric, lovely design. Unfortunately the XS was too small to cinch the top an a way that would close the chest area. I could have worn it with a camisole underneath but it would have been so voluminous and blousy. If you have a narrow waist and larger chest I think this top would be amazing....if you're between sizes I suggest sizing up and belting it tightly.

Definitely size up if you have broader shoulders or thicker arms. This was too tight in the sleeves for me. I couldn't wear it.

It fit great! Loved the material and perfect for holiday gatherings.

Great for a formal Christmas party. However, the shirt came undone mode party due to the silky fabric. Material felt great on the skin. 

Definitely needed a tank top underneath, loved the fit , the sleeves were a little long. I'm 5'  this might fit a little short in the torso for someone tall

Fit is super flattering, adorrrrable, comfortable top! Considering buying... I'm an XS & had to wear a bodysuit underneath or my bust would have been hanging out; but still looked cute!!!! 

Perfect for a high end office. Looks very rich and  classic! Would wear again. Doesn't stay closed well so I would recommend a cami underneath. 

This is my new favorite blouse. The fabric, cut and pattern are so feminine and flattering! The only thing I ran into was how much cleavage it exposes. I have to wear a lace insert but totally worth it. I'll be buying this top.

This top has such a nice drapey quality. I love the sleeves and the belted waist gives a pretty shape. I wore it with a black skirt and black cami. It would have been too revealing without the cami. 

I loved the heaviness of the material, it made the blouse drape beautifully. Perfect top for my bank job. Sleeves made eating a restaurant a little interesting but would definitely rent this again. 

This top is super cute and the belted waist was a MUST for my hourglass figure. The shoulder/arm area was a little too tight though. 

Requires cami under blouse. Came untied and didnt realize it. Also needed small safety pin to keep top closed. Pretty style. Flattering to waist. Room for big bust. 

Reaaly pretty fabric. Loved the cut of the arms and fitted in the waist. Very flaterring. I wore it once with black pants and once with jeans. 

Flattering fit.  Fun print.  Would order it again.

I loved this shirt. Very flattering as I am a little bigger in the stomach area. Love the bell sleeves as well. The sleeves are a little long and I am slightly top heavy so I had to wear a tank top underneath.

The top is more low cut than the picture suggests.  I wore a black sports bra under to make it work appropriate, but wore a regular bra when wearing it out for drinks with friends.  The top didn't stay in place very well for me (especially since the fabric is silky), but I wasn't too bothered by it.  Fashion tape would be a good idea for those who would be bothered!

Beautiful material. Great fit. Not great fit if you have very large bust. 

Very nice silky shirt, I felt pretty and feminine. Needed to pin at chest to wear to work. 

The top is adorable. Mine came new with tags on it was so new. The fabric is sturdy, but very soft and silky. It is a true wrap top, so there are very long ties that thread through the shirt. It is lower cut, and because the shirt is so silky it slipped open constantly, so I wore a black undershirt with no issues. The shoulders were a bit tight, but the torso was loose, and there was a little extra fabric that I couldn't tighten with the ties enough. Overall cute for a one-time rental. 

I love the kimono-like look of this top. It is soft and flowy on the top and the belted waist and longer drape is flattering around the middle. However: the bust gapes open on my smaller chest. I ended up buying the shirt and installing a snap there but if you are renting be prepared to tape or wear it with a cami.

I'm typically a small and the XS fit bit I definitely had a limited range of motion in the arms and shoulders. I wore this to work and when I had it tied loosely it definitely showed more cleavage than I would have liked. Perfect date night or going out top. Super cute and would rent again in the size small.

I got compliments every time I wore this top. Pros: looks and feel so fabulous. Very flattering cut. Cons: have to tie the strings really tight to stay in place because the fabric wants to move around on you. I also found it a little tight in the shoulders, so I could raise my arms very high. However, if you need a look for a date where you won't be raising the roof, I'd highly suggest.
