So cute!
I love the material of this top - it’s thick and feels really expensive and the red stripe at the bottom gave it something extra. It was a little small on me, which is why the poofy sleeves weren’t as dramatic as I usually like, but it worked. I’d definitely rent it again, but I’d probably try a medium.

Love this!
I’ve loved everything Michael Stars since middle school, and this is no exception! So soft and easy to wear - wore it to work with corduroys and boots and with jeans and high top converse sneakers on the weekend. It’s not itchy at all, and I’m pretty sensitive. I’d rent again, but I’m going to buy it instead!

Too small!
There were lots of mixed reviews about this sweater regarding sizing, but I should have sized up! Maybe for the weekend the crop would have been fine, but I rented it to wear to school on a dress-down day and it was tough to keep the front tucked in while moving around. I wouldn’t rent it again.

Love the style, but too big!
Love this whole suit, but both pieces run big. I’m between a 4-6 these days, but had to get the 6 since the 4 wasn’t available. It was way too long in the body and in the sleeves, but I made it work for work! Would rent again but I’d try the 4, maybe even the 2 with just a tank underneath.

So cute but big!
I’ve been between a 4-6 lately and ordered the 4 after reading the reviews. They were still huge on me! I’ll definitely rent again but in the 2. Looks great with the matching blazer (which also runs big!) and a turtleneck bodysuit underneath.

Adorable!
This dress is so cute! I love the thin corduroy material which makes it great for fall/winter. I wish the tie at the waist was actually functional, but it still looked adorable. I wore it with beige boots and got tons of compliments. I’ll definitely rent it again next year!

So warm!
Omg this sweater is so heavy - I was so hot all day at work! It was also too small and cropped on me. I wonder if the medium would even look any better. Maybe it’s the cut near the armpits that was unflattering on me, but ehh, wouldn’t rent again.

Ehh not bad
I love the material of this dress - so soft and silky. But it didn’t really fit well across the chest and made me look wider and shorter than I am. Wore it with a belt to work, but wouldn’t rent again.

Super cute!
The fabric on the body is very light and the sleeves are thick and quilted, but I loved it like that! Wore it a bunch of times - to work and on the weekends. Got tons of compliments, too!

Love this dress!
I love Hofmann Copenhagen pieces, and this one is no different. It’s so cute for spring/fall. I kept it for 2 months and wore it many times - to work and a brewery with booties, and shopping with my high top converse sneakers. I’ll rent it again this spring and will likely end up buying it.

Wanted to love it
This is so so cute and the fabric is great! However, it’s so small! I got the 6 and couldn’t button it. I’ve been wanting to try it again because I love the look, but can’t decide if the 8 would be enough or if I have to size way up to the 10.

Cute but eh
This looked cute enough and kept me warm at a brewery, but it was really short. I’m only 5’2” and love a cropped sweater, but it was too wide on the bottom to look that cute. Tried tucking the front into high rise black jeans. Wouldn’t rent again though.

Love this top!
This top is so cute and it fit really well! It had no stretch to it which is usually tough for my chest in button-downs, but I used some fashion tape and it stayed closed all day. I wore it with gold/mustard corduroys and it looked great!

So cute!
I love the cottony poplin material and the ruffles. The little beaded buttons are also so cute! It was just tight across my back and chest, making it a little too short for work. But I threw some black tights on and it worked. I’d definitely rent again, but I’d try the medium. Farm Rio sizing is always so weird!

Ehh
I’m all for a good ruffle and a puffy sleeve, but these sleeves were weird - really wide and round at the top. The whole dress just looked weird on me, but I’m an elementary school teacher, so the kids always love seeing what I’m going to wear next! I couldn’t not wear this and disappoint them :)

Love the look - super thick though
Such a cute jumpsuit! The fabric is a little strange though - some parts are normal cottony feeling and some are thick and quilted. Was really warm and comfy though. It stretched out throughout the day, so I’d try the xs next time.

Love this!
Love this dress! I’ve already rented it twice - I’ll probably just buy it soon! I rented the 36 this time, but I think I had the 38 the first time I rented and they felt exactly the same. The drawstring waist makes the shape super cute! I got tons of compliments on this one.

Very warm and itchy
I wore this with a long sleeve button down underneath because it was so itchy (I’m pretty sensitive to wool/acrylic). It was also really warm. The colors are pretty though - I got tons of compliments!

Too big and dull
The pattern wasn’t very obvious in person and it ran really big. I’m usually a medium in LSF, but this one was too big to wear it closed.

Gorgeous!
I looove this dress! Rented it for a trip to Cabo and it was perfect. It's tough for my to go braless, but I made it work in this dress - just made sure to tie the back super tight! I rented this a second time already for a girls' trip to Vegas. I'll probably just buy it at this point lol!

Ehh it's ok
The medium was too big on me in the elastic, but I made it work with a t-shirt underneath and my high top converse for the first day of school. Probably wouldn't rent again though.

Great fabric, not for shorties :(
This jumpsuit is beautiful, it's just way too long in the torso and the legs for me. It didn't lay right and made my butt look super flat. The fabric and color are beautiful though!

Great fabric!
Loved this dress! Wore it to my husband's holiday party and felt great in it, especially with the slit. I'm 5'2" with a short torso, and this was a bit long on me. I had some extra fabric in the middle so it didn't lay as smoothly as it does on the model, but I'd definitely rent it again, maybe in the xs.

Love this! The fabric is so nice and thick and the puffy sleeves aren't too much like some other tops. Would have bought it if it wasn't so expensive!

Best dress ever!
Favorite rental ever! The fit was perfect - I'm between a 2-6 in dresses, depending on the designer. I only ordered the 4, and it was perfect! I'm 5'2", so the short length was actually great on me! Will be purchasing this one for sure!

Fit like a glove!
This dress is amazing! Runs true to size and hugs every curve - it felt like it was custom made for me! I probably could have gotten away with the 4, but with my 4" heels, it was a bit too short. Like many of the other reviews mention, the lining at the chest tends to roll down, but with the right amount of fashion tape, it stayed put all night (and made the "girls" look great!) I can't wait to rent this dress again for another wedding in a few months!

Runs large!
I really wanted this dress to work! However, both the medium and small were way too big on me. I called customer service, and they were able to overnight me the xs, which unfortunately, was also too big. I think the problem was in the straps - I'm 5'2" and the straps were about and inch too long. With any other dress, I would be able to tape it down, but because of the heavy fabric and the open back, it didn't look right. On someone a little taller, this dress would look amazing - but definitely size down!
