Just ok
Cute, but wouldn't buy if I'd tried it on for these reasons: it's quite a thin cotton material (though lined from the waistline down, thankfully). If you have a small waist and curvy/athletic butt, fabric gathers at the base of your spine. If you're partial to shift dresses, this would work well for you.
Borealis Puff Sleeve Dress

Adorable, tons of compliments & comfortable
Lovely dress. Not lined, but fabric is substantial enough that it still feels luxe. I'm curvy/athletic, with a small waist and bust + ample hips/quads. It fit beautifully and would have allowed for a larger bust (I'm a 34B).

Fabulous
This stress is understated but still striking, super comfortable to wear & I got a million compliments. It photographs well too. Would 100% rent again.

Adorable, perfect fit, easy peasy
Perfect dress for a Saturday stroll to the farmer's market/brunch/errands when you wanna look cute & put together with zero effort. Not suitable for larger busts--my 34Bs filled the bodice. Will rent again!

Gorgeous, so comfy
Loveliest dress, I received a million compliments each time I wore it! Super roomy and allowed for multiple trips to the buffet at Easter brunch. It would be super cute on a mama-to-be too!
Alcott Midi Dress

Throw on and go
Lovely, well-constructed perfectly for transitioning weather. I threw a denim jacket over it with brown Celine boots & gave off Santa Fe vibes. Would def rent again.
Elle Knit Dress

Height: 5' 8"

Gorgeous, tons of compliments
Wore this to a formal wedding & couldn't have been more pleased. It's comfortable (pockets!) and striking in person. Would not rent if you're busty--I'm a small B cup, maybe even a large A with a small rib cage and the bodice fit perfectly.
Black Multi Floral Gown

Size Worn: 4L

Cute!
Cropped, sparkly sweater perfect for dinner & drinks, concert, etc. Very light so if it's super cold you'll need to layer.
Metallic Chevron Sweater

Adorable & super warm!
Great cropped coat with ample room for chunky knits underneath. Super warm & I received compliments every time I wore it.
Dot Faux Fur Coat

Subtly sexy
Loooove this dress. The v-neck is deep, yes, but I was still able to wear a demi-cup bra with it and not flash my fellow revelers. I would gladly wear this again--just a wonderfully constructed wrap dress.
Tianna Dress

Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Bust: 34B
Chic, VERY warm sweater
I got multiple compliments on this piece & was glad I had the opportunity to wear it. However, at 5'8" and athletically built I was able to carry what would look bulky on a more petite frame. It's also very heavy and a bit itchy. I still give this 5 stars because of the construction & design!
Ivory Ecru Sweater
RED Valentino
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Bust: 34B
Delightfully high...waisted
I love these jeans! They don't have any stretch, but are cut in a way that's forgiving without being too slouchy. Very on-trend with the high waist & cropped, wide leg and look great with sock booties.
Anais Jeans

Size Worn: 28
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Bust: 34B
Fabulous, luxurious coat not for the faint of heart
This coat is incredible & VERY warm. I paired it with jeans & a black turtleneck & received a million complements (and a few stares). It's a major statement piece, so you need the personality & confidence to pull it off. Again, it's pretty heavy & only meant for 40 degree weather and below.
Ona Faux Fur Patchwork Coat
Osman
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Bust: 34B
Perfect for everyday!
This dress drapes beautifully and even know it's quite full is still really flattering. The back detailing is elegant with a bit of grit due to the detailing at the straps--I just loved wearing this & received multiple compliments. The dress actually arrived without the belt (whoopsie, RTR) but I wore it unbelted and still felt lovely, not frumpy.

Packs a punch but super comfy
I wore this dress to a brunch with friends in 95 degree heat and loved it. It's generously constructed, so I never felt like I had to suck in, but it still provides plenty of shape. There's a built-in bra strap in the top, so it gives the girls a bit of support and a bra isn't necessary (at least it wasn't for me). I would love to wear again!

Perfect!
Love love love this dress! Once again, a Tara Jarmon creation fits an hourglass shape perfectly. I wouldn't wear if you're busty, however. My 34B/small Cs were definitely on display. I would recommend this dress for brunch, happy hour, etc. It looks great alone or with a jean jacket--I received tons of compliments!

Precious!
Great dress for an hourglass figure! Really adorable pattern & pleating detail at dress hem. Don't borrow if you're busty, though. I'm a 34C and the bodice squished my boobs in an unflattering way.

Daisy Midi Dress
Mother of Pearl
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 34B
I wore this dress on multiple vacations & it was easy to dress up or down.
This dress is fabulous. Absolutely no cons! The bodice is perfect for fuller chests, but due to the gorgeous draping would also be flattering on anyone less busty. The fabric is airy and therefore comfortable in the intense summer heat. I recently had a baby, and the cinched waist and full skirt accentuated what I'd like to promote and concealed what I'm slowly trying to address. I would recommend it for work, depending on your industry (the rainbow pattern is not for the faint at heart), vacation, brunch, drinks, whatever! I just love this dress. I plan to purchase it once I've lost "the" weight.
