Felt like a million bucks
Great vacation dress—cute and comfy. Sadly, the dress made me look larger than I am. Size down.

Most comfortable and cute vacation dress
Great dress. The gathering at the top gives it a maternity vibe, but it works for me because I’m too old for anyone to wonder if I’m pregnant 😉. The back is very pretty, but the not-adjustable straps kept falling off my shoulders. I’m short waisted.

Perfect vacation dress
Pockets! Great lightweight fabric (I’ve tried other dresses from this brand but I found the material too heavy and stiff). I was able to wear it without a bra, and that never happens. The crisscross back was so pretty. Want to keep this one.

Pretty and lightweight, perfect for hot and humid vacation
Maybe not for everyone, but bright, light, and beautiful. Almost gauzy, but a short slip underneath makes it decent. Recommend!

Didn't wear, but so beautiful.
I was a little *ahem* aspirational in my sizing choice. I should have chosen a 12--tried my luck with a 10 and lost 😕. This dress is absolutely gorgeous. I have a thick middle and it just wasn't flattering, but in the right size it would have been fire.

Beautiful design.
This dress was great in theory. I was expecting more of a column dress, but it's a stretchy body-con style. Great for women with straight or hourglass, but for a lady with a thick middle, it was a hard no. Once I added an open neck, cropped square sweater, it was perfection. With Spanx it might have looked better, but I just won't do the sausage casings anymore 🤷🏻♀️.

I have never received more compliments!
Loose fit, but still structured. So elegant! I'd planned to wear it with white patent ankle boots, but I had a Board meeting that day so paired it with some neutral Tod's kitten heels. The colors are so pretty and flattering, and there's plenty of room for big boobs. Wish I owned it.

It is sheer and definitely needed a short slip underneath. Easy fix. Reminded me of a 90s baby doll dress, so I paired it with platform, over the knee boots. Hot. My husband was speechless :)

Comically large. As a caftan queen, this cut was ridiculous.
I figured I could at least lounge around the house in it, but the fabric was so stiff and noisy, and the cut so ridiculously massive. The nail in the coffin was the elastic around the forearms was so tight on my very thin arms, I couldn't wear it. My first and only Tory Burch fail. Bad design.

So beautiful, and a gorgeous cut.
As others have mentioned, the fabric is fancier that it looks in the photos, but I certainly wouldn't call it a gown. The straps were too long, so I wrapped them up in my bra and the fit was perfect. I LOVED this dress. Just beautiful. I wish I'd have taken a photo.

Skin tight. As a short waisted, 5'5" person, this thing didn't even cover my underwear in the back. Terrible.

Fine, but Nothing special
I love a cropped, boxy sweater. Perfect for my peri-menopausal thick middle. This was just kind of dumpy on me, too big, sleeves too long, colors were drab. Maybe the one I got was ready for retirement.

I love a beautifully made, uniquely shaped dress. The fit is intentionally loose, but the shoulders fit perfectly and the length was work appropriate. Loved the heavy material, the pockets, the colors. All of it. Really cool.

THIS DRESS!
As a thick-waisted person who can't generally wear Temperly, I took a chance on this and won. It's the perfect amount of weird, beautifully made with great details. Felt thick in it until I put on a "power panty" to suck in my middle. I don't want to send this one back. Tried to add photos but they wouldn't upload.

This sweater is BOMB.
This is the coolest, most badass sweater I've ever seen. This sweater is thick, but not hot or scratchy. Definitely cropped--I work a tank underneath for work. I'm going to wear it to a concert later this month and I don't want to ever give it back. I'm in love. (Pardon the ugly bathroom pic)

Took a trip to Colorado and was stoked about this sweater. Didn't wear.
The dimensions were so crazy off. On the website and the other renters, it looks like a relatively cropped sweater. Mine came to mid-thigh in the front and in back it hit me at the knees. It's like it wasn't even the same sweater. Disappointed.

I thought it would be "mod," but it's way too long. Disappointed.
The quality is great--nice, thick, lined jumper. I was so excited to wear this, but it comes past my knees. Even with high heels, it cuts me off in an unflattering way. If I owned it I would take the straps up about three inches and it would be my favorite dress ever. Instead, I'm sending it back.

Strange fit.
I was really excited about this one. The colors and shape reminded me of my grandma's old house dresses. Unfortunately, the neck is tight, and it isn't a proper A-line. I love a good weird dress but this one isn't it.

This is a cool sweater/sweatshirt. Nice and boxy, but a little tight at the bottom. This thing picks up fuzz and dog hair like nobody's business. The cat is very cool. Wouldn't rent again, though.

Very strange fit for me--the pockets stuck out comically. It's a shame, because the dress is pretty, the material interesting, and I wanted to wear for Christmas. Sent it right back. Disappointed.

Too small.
The fabric is not what I expected--I thought it would be more of a genuine texture to the fabric, but it's just printed on. Also, it was too fight in the arms and butt--my smaller areas--and loose across my middle--the problem area. I liked the fun back detail and think it would look good on a thinner person.

Fit like a slinky little glove, so flattering in the bust area. The boning wires were popping out so badly that I couldn't wear it. Time to retire it.

Perfect warm sweater.
I like big, boxy sweaters, so ordered it in XL and it worked great. I got multiple wears out of it out in the cold weather. It's REALLY warm, though. I wore it outside with the temp in the 20s and I was toasty. Neck a touch scratchy but tolerable.

Pretty cute.
Tight through the bust for a 34D. I love the fabric so much, though it was quite wrinkly by the end of the day. Keyhole back is larger than expected, so I wore a cardigan over it and that looked cute. It was good, but I liked it a little less that some of the other Equipment dresses I've worn before.

The most beautiful little swing coat!
I love all the little details, from the velvet ties, to the perfect pockets. I loved this so much I bought it. It was cute with skinny jeans and a black turtleneck, as well as with a dress and high boots. One of my very favorite rentals. Bought it.

Beautiful details!
This dress is wonderful for an apple shape. The back is sexy but classy. I wore it without a cami for a date, and with one for work. Love the pockets. I'm thicker in the middle, and it still draped beautifully. The bottom is a bit narrow, so if you have thighs or a butt (which I unfortunately do not), you might want to size up. I returned this dress yesterday but wish I'd have bought it.

Kickass sweater.
Interesting and fun mix of colors, mostly soft but a little itchy around my sensitive neck. It has a subtle A-line shape that is really nice for not pulling at my midsection. Lots of compliments. I plan to wear it all weekend. Highly recommend.
