Ridiculously huge
The fit on this coat was insane. I put it on and it instantly added 200 pounds, without exaggeration. I wear a 12-14 currently and ordered a large. My mom (size 20-22) also tried the coat on and although it fit her, it easily added 100 pounds to her as well. On the up side, the quality is amazing and it is very warm.

Too big, didn't wear
Rented this to wear around the house / running errands. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and usually wear a 12/L but thought this might work in an XL since some other reviews said it had maternity vibes. It was very large, especially in the shoulders, so I sent it back. Definitely runs large.

Uncomfortable
I loved the color and fabric of this dress and planned to just wear it around the house. The fit was fine (I am 30 weeks pregnant) with the exception of the hem, which was weirdly tight. It took some effort to pull it over my hips, and then it dug into my legs when I sat down. I ended up returning it without wearing.

Too small
Rented this hoping to wear for my baby shower. I wear a pre-pregnancy size 12. I'm currently 29 weeks (mostly belly) and will be 34 weeks at the shower. I've rented other items by Hatch in the same size that fit well but this ran SO small! It was particularly tight in the chest (the girls have grown a little in pregnancy but I'm still wearing a C cup). It was also pretty sheer - so I would say this might be more appropriate as a beach cover up vs. an actual dress.

Not sure if its the same sweater as photographed
This sweater is cut much differently IRL than how it looks in the photos so I was surprised as soon as I opened the garment bag. The color and fabric look the same but it is very short and has sort of dolman sleeves. It also fits pretty snug and I am only 18 weeks right now. Seems cut for more of a pre-pregnancy style and I feel like if I wear it with any of my maternity pants, the belly panel will show. I kept it for now because I'll only wear it on Zoom anyway.

Truly insane
I rented this to use as a winter coat. It is truly ridiculous, as seen in my photo. I am 18 weeks pregnant and have gained about 8 pounds so far but this coat makes me look 100lbs more than I am. The fabric is really amazing but I can't be seen in public in this garment. Disappointing!

Everyday wear
I rented this for weekend and work wear after renting and loving tons of DVF wrap dresses. The fabric does not offer any stretch and runs small. I'll wear a cami under it so it will be passable, but if I rent again I'd size up. The pattern is really beautiful.

Runs big
I wore this to work with floral print pants. I normally wear a L in tops but this ran huge and long. The sleeves are meant to be long but I had to cuff them. It was also large in the shoulders so the cut out in the front kept falling below where I would have liked it. Luckily the neck tie is bulky enough to hide what was probably my bra sticking out. I liked the design but should have sized down.

Love this shirt!
Rented an XL because L was unavailable. It runs true to size for a 14/16 so it was a little big but I appreciated the extra length since it is cropped. The material is very thick and luxurious. The sleeves are very baggy but the material provides stretch so I was able to pull them up to my elbows and they stayed put. I would love to own this if it were at a lower price.

These were fun.
I got a lot of compliments on these and might have purchased them if they were more affordable - they're a fun twist on a classic style. They are very high-waisted and the belt in the back did hang off of me in kind of an awkward way. By the end of the day they stretched out a lot. I might rent again.

Will rent when XL is available
This dress is made of a really thick high quality stretchy fabric but still ran small. The stripes landed on an unflattering section of my mid section so I didn't wear it. I will try the XL when it becomes available.

Runs large, size down.
When I first took this out of the bag I was like OMG this thing is gigantic... and I never wear less than a 12. The arm holes are cut low so part of my bra was visible but I decided not to care. Once I tied the drawstring waist it looked really cute and the length was great for work. I will definitely rent this again.

This was just okay. I sized up and the fit was odd.
The arm holes are cut a bit low so part of my bra was visible. Also, it's REALLY short!! I rented this for work and there was NO WAY that I could wear it as is. I don't even think I could get away with it for casual wear. I wore it over white jeans and it looked cute and I got multiple compliments but everyone thought it was a shirt. The ruffly bottom made my already big butt look bigger, though, so it wasn't super flattering and I probably wouldn't rent again.

Initially rented this in my normal size (12) and the side zipper did not even come close to zipping. I re-ordered in a 14 and it fits perfectly. The snap chest closure makes me feel like this is definitely modest enough to wear to work. I'm also going to wear it for my birthday next weekend. The colors are amazing!

I love this dress! My husband was actually really enthusiastic about how great I looked in it, which was nice. It is definitely a little snug around my midsection so I might wear spandex shorts under it. Also, I don't need a bra with this since it's fully lined and the straps are adjustable.

REALLY bright color! I love it. It fits true to size and is super comfy. I might've been able to size down to a medium but the large is fine.

The fabric is stretchy but this was still a little snug on me. I love the fit and the color but if I rent again I will size up.

I rented this for every day use while on staycation. Wore it out to a casual lunch.
This is much more colorful in person! I usually hate how stripes look on me but somehow this was pretty flattering. It fit me much looser than how it looks on the model but I liked it that way.
