Great sweater, runs small
Really love this, such a beautiful material. Not itchy. Easy to style. Wanted to buy, but too expensive.

Nice piece, easy length
Such an easy piece to put on for work or everyday, hits at the waist, short enough to not get stuck on my pants waistband, but not too short/cropped.

perfect little tee
Loved this, wore it several times over the course of a month. Fits like a standard tshirt, not fitted. nice thick cotton, so wears well and doesn't wrinkle easily

nice cotton sundress
pretty colors and fabric, was a nice cotton that I had to iron a little before wearing. I am smaller chested, and wearing without a bra or nipple covers was fine.

Super fun sleeves but scratchy
Cute dress, fitted but not tight in bodice. Forgiving in tummy bulge area. Sleeves are pretty but definitely scratchy if you are sensitive to that. Not the worst, but not super comfy.

Usual Size: 12

Comfortable and classy
Great color and heavier fabric. Conservative enough for work, hit a couple inches above my knee. One star off for pockets sticking out a little--love pockets but not the extra volume they created on my hips in this dress. Still, would rent again.

Pretty color but runs small
Rented for work but this was too short to be appropriate. I'm only 5'5" but the side slit came up too far on my leg. Not the most flattering if you have a bit of a tummy. But the fabric is pretty and the ruffles are really cute.

Cute and comfortable
Fits well without a bra, not something I usually get away with. Fabric is thick and soft, nice stretch to it. Very comfortable. Wore this for Easter Bruce, then again to work with a cropped cardigan. Not quite 5 stars because: skirt is very full and not the most flattering for hips, and the armpit area is not optimal for those of us who are self conscious about excess baggage in this area!

Gorgeous colors and fit
I adored this coat. The combination of colors is unexpected and works soooo well. Hot pink lining. Excellent and comfortable fit. Only downside is the fabric pilled after a few wears. Made sending it back a little easier!

Fun statement jacket
My husband told me this jacket looks like a joint designing effort by Michael Jackson and Antonio banderas. It's kind of true. And I kind of like it! The pompoms are definitely noticeable. The fabric is definitely jacquard. And the style is definitely matador. Arms are a little fitted and hard to raise totally over your head. But fairly comfortable to wear to work.

Not flattering if you have any tummy
Nice knit, fabric lays well. Pretty colors in the stripes. But the fabric is thick and stretchy, so it feels right. I have a bit of a bulge in the lower tummy, and even with spanx, this dress emphasized that bulge. It was ok with a jacket for work, but won't order again.

Confident in your pockets?
Ok, maybe I'm being captain obvious, but you need to be okay with having big pieces of hot pink fur as your pockets. This vest is exactly as pictured--the pockets are not understated. The fur is at least 2 inches long, so the pockets really stick out. I felt rather awkward with this, especially since I am a bit insecure with my hips being emphasized and expanded! But this is a nicely made vest that definitely delivers some noteworthy pockets.

Beautiful color, versatile
Really pretty blue-green color, back of the vest is knit and was in good shape. Versatile, could be dressed up for work or dressed down with jeans. My 7 year old is allergic to cats, and apparently also to rabbits--this vest made her sneeze and itch!!!

Cute cut and style, will size up next time
Nice dress in soft and comfortable material, heavy enough to wear with tights in our Chicago winter. I am usually a size 8, and this 8 fit me and looked good. But the arms felt right, and the body was really fitted. If I were to rent again, I would try one size up for comfort.

Beautiful color and weight, nice soft leather. Flattering fitted waist with nice fullness in skirt. Would rent this again.

Flattering style, great for work
Nice dress, medium weight silk with a little give. Very flattering shape, pockets are a plus. I am almost always a size 8, and am glad I listened to other reviews to order up a size--the 10 fit very well in arms, upper, and lower body. Quite a few compliments at work on this dress, although I didn't feel like it was super special. Probably wouldn't rent again, as I would rather keep trying various styles and fabrics. But glad I tried this one.

Gorgeous fabric and cut
Amazing dress. I've never worn anything like this--clearly designer. Comfortable, I actually wore a regular bra and the straps weren't a problem. The fabric is heavy and drapes wonderfully--very forgiving of my extra curves (i still wore spanx for a bit of smoothness). This is short--I am 5'5" and wore 2 inch heels and the dress was a little short. But not too huge a problem. Totally loved wearing this.

Stunning dress, gorgeous fabric
This fabric is a gorgeous color with a great weight to it. I wasn't able to wear this gown, as the straps were too long and kept falling off my shoulders. I don't think this would be an issue if you are a C cup or larger. The gown I received was new with tags on it--perfect condition.

Made for a princess
Beautifully made, nice thick lining. My dress had obviously been worn and cleaned several times--the liner was longer than the sequin overlay. Not too big a deal--I could pin the liner up to a shorter length. Not super comfortable--sequins are quite scratchy

You need a long torso and flat stomach
This is cute, but quite costumy in person. Love the skirt, but the torso is really really long and fitted/stretchy--not forgiving of any bulges you might have (which I possess).

Great fit, special but not over the top
As another reviewer stated, you don't need to wear a bra with this (something I never get away with but there is no way to tell with this one). This dress feels trendy and different enough, but still very wearable and really comfortable! Loved this. Very true to size.

cute and flirty
The ruffles on this are so cute, and the skirt is nice and full. Good liner inside, no need for a slip. Hit couple inches above my knee. Comfortable, except the band on the forearm is a little tight and not stretchy. Overall, great dress.

warm and stylish vest
I wore this on a 40 degree day with a thick black sweater and leggings underneath, and was warm enough without a jacket. Lots of compliments on this--trendy without being overstated.

For sure order one size down!
Beautiful fabric and colors. Flowey skirt and nice details. Runs really big. I would order this again but probably 2 sizes down. And I never size down (that's why I didn't listen to all the reviews telling me to size down!). I like things loose. I wore this with a shirt underneath as it was cold outside and the arm holes were too big in my usual size!
