Fun, fashion-forward pants - run large
These are very cute pants. They do run large - however, that is the style and once they are cinched at the waist they end up looking really nice and fashion-forward, and they work best for a night out or work. Great for all body types, too. I paired them with high heels and a boatneck form-fitting top to balance out the billowy-ness of the pattern. These are not the type of pants you wear with a t-shirt and sneakers.

Classic, elegant
I ended up sizing up for this dress after reading the reviews and I wish I hadn't - I was swimming in it and had to pin it up in a few places - especially the waist and bust. If you are fuller in the waist and bust then size up, otherwise just order your usual size. Despite being somewhat ill-fitting I got lots of compliments on this dress at the holiday party I recently went to - very classic, simple and elegant, and easy to accessorize.

Simple, classy dress
I rented this for recent vacation in Italy. It's a very simple dress that can be dressed up or down. I wore this with high-heeled ankle boots and a leather jacket for nights out. Like others have mentioned, it's basically an olive green version of a LBD. Because of the cut of the skirt, the lining did tend to ride up more than I would have liked, but other than that it is constructed well. Looks great with gold jewelry.

Cute gingham top
It runs a tad large and is cropped, but looks great with high waisted skinny jeans. I had to use fashion tape to keep the opening in the front from showing all of the goods, otherwise it is super easy to wear.

Cute pants, run large
These are great pants for work or travel. Super comfortable and stylish, nice material and color. Could be dressed up or down. They do run larger than I expected - my normal size was practically falling off of my hips the first time I wore them without a belt. Definitely going to size down next time. Otherwise a great rental for all body types!

Fun, feminine dress
I wore this dress for a date. Definitely feminine and shows off your curves. Simple and elegant - love the details with the black straps. It does run a tad small - I would definitely size up, especially if you've got wide hips/fuller bust.

Ran too large - ended up not wearing it
This dress is cute, but unfortunately ran too large for my small frame. The medium was the only style available, so I took a chance and ordered it. However, I really needed a small or extra small. Size down with this one - not only does it run large but it has a ton of stretch. It's a shame, it's a cute dress with a lot of fun colors - wish I would have been able to wear it.

Fun, simple shift dress
This is a fun, flattering shift dress that can be dressed up or down. I wore this to a street festival with white sneakers and leather jacket - but it could be easily dressed up for work with a blazer and heels. It runs large but that's the style.

Gorgeous Retro Dress for Chicago Wedding
I wore this dress to a wedding in Chicago in late April. The weather was unseasonably chilly, so I was happy to have this heavier dress with a full skirt - definitely a great option for a winter/early spring wedding. Very lady like but still sexy with the plunging neckline and open back. The full skirt was also a lot of fun to twirl around on the dance floor. I'm on the shorter side so I definitely had to pair this with my highest heels, as the dress is pretty long. Other than that - no complaints! Beautiful fabric, flattering and classy.

Lovely, spacious clutch
Was able to hold everything I needed for the night - keys, phone, charger, lipstick, compact and cash, and was even able to fit in small wedding favors for both me and my husband. It has a chain but since I was at a formal event I decided to hold it as a clutch. I could see this working as a more high-end smaller everyday purse, but it's great for more formal events, too. Would definitely rent again!

Pretty dress, but not right for my event
I received this as a backup option after my initial dress was not available to ship. It has beautiful fabric and is well made, but the design was a little too gown-like for the more casual wedding I was attending. Would definitely consider renting this again for a more formal event. The bodice has no give, but otherwise it is pretty comfortable.

Big, beautiful statement ring
Great statement ring that goes with almost anything. It did run larger than I expected, so maybe hold off if you have petite hands.

Lovely red earrings
These earrings were much larger than expected - they are borderline statement jewelry. Still, with the simple cut of my dress they ended up working out perfectly. They are very lovely and well-made. Would rent again with another simple, streamlined outfit - I think they would be too much with a "busier" outfit.

Did not want to return this ring! So pretty!
A gorgeous ring - wore this to my company's holiday party with a red dress. The perfect compliment to my outfit. It was larger than expected, but not too heavy. Would rent again!

Lovely, classy red dress
Wore this for my company's holiday party - very classy and sexy. This dress is pretty unforgiving in the hip/boob areas, so I would size up if you're on the curvier side. Easy to dress up or down!

Pretty dress, not great for curvy women
This dress ended up not working out for me, and it's a shame because the cut and design of it is really unique and beautiful. It just isn't the most flattering design for curvy women - but I imagine it would look great on someone with a tall, athletic build.

Beautiful fall color, retro cut, great for curvy gals
Wore this to my husband's work holiday party and pretty pleased overall. My first dress choice didn't end up working out, so I tried this on as a backup and decided to go with it. PROS: The deep orange/rust color of this dress is GORGEOUS, and the cut is extremely flattering for bustier gals. The design has a 40s/50s retro feel, but the cut still feels very modern, a great mix of old meets new. Definitely sexy but also classy - this dress could work for a date night as well as a work event. CONS: This dress runs small - I'm normally a 6 and had to size up to an 8. Even with sizing up, shapewear was definitely a requirement - it's extremely form-fitting but it hugs in all the right places. It can also get a little uncomfortable after a few hours, so I wouldn't recommend this for an all-day event.

Rented this for fall trip to Chicago
This was a great rental for a long week working remotely in Chicago. It went with nearly everything I wore, and I was able to dress it up and down for work as well as nights out. Love the detail in the back and simple cut in the front. Would rent again!

Beautiful, unique clutch
I rented this for a semi-formal wedding. Very unique and well made clutch, and it looked great with my tan jacket and shoes. Got tons of compliments. There isn't a lot of room inside despite it's size. I was able to hold my ID/credit card, a compact, lipstick and my phone, but there wasn't room for much else.

LBD with a gold twist
Rented this for a semi-formal fall wedding. It's sexy and classy - and it's definitely a great option for bustier gals with the asymmetrical neckline. I paired this with black pumps that had gold heels and a gold clutch. I would size up, especially if you have an hourglass figure - it runs a tad small.

Great accent for gold accessories!
Rented this for a semi-formal fall wedding. It was the perfect accent to black pumps with gold heels and a LBD. It's definitely shimmery but not sparkly, eye-catching without being gaudy. Like most clutches it runs small - I was able to carry a compact, lipstick, cash/credit cards and phone, but what more do you need, really? Would rent again!
