Wanted to love
I wanted to love this but there was something off about the fit, I think the neck comes up too high and the band at the bottom is fitted and the body is looser. I got a ton of compliments on it though because the print is so fun!

Liked it it didn't love it
I have have rented these twice because I so badly want to make them work but they were ultimate too big and baggy and little too short on me. I just couldn't make them work.

Fun unique sweater
This is such a unique sweater and I got a ton of compliments every time I wore it, which was a lot! It’s oversized and super comfy, can wear it open as a cardigan or buttoned up as a sweater. It can be dressed up for work or down for weekend errands. Highly recommend!

A great dark barrel jeans
These are a great pair of dark wash barrel jeans! They are the perfect fit and can easily be dressed up or down. I’ve worn them to work and put to dinner and have gotten a ton of compliments. May end up purchasing because they are a great closet staple!

Obsessed - the perfect barrel jean!
I’m obsessed with these jeans. They are the perfect fit and just the right amount of baggy. I rented a larger size then the next size down after losing some baby weight. It’s hard for me not to wear them everyday. The two tone makes them even more interesting and I get so many compliments on them. Will probably end up buying!

Fun twist on a classic white button down
I love this shirt so much, I’ve rented it twice and am now considering buying it! I originally rented the XL and it was a little too oversized so I returned it after a few wears. Went back for the L when I saw it available and it’s perfect, it’s still an oversized fit. I am considering keeping it because it’s such a fun twist on the classic white button down.

Snug sweater
I liked this sweater, didn’t love it. The print is so cute and fun, I wanted to love it more! But ultimately it was too snug at the neck and at the bottom and just a tad bit too warm and uncomfortable material.

Easy breezy everyday dress
I loved this dress! It was great for me in my postpartum months during the summer. It was the right amount of coverage and comfort while still being breezy during warm weather. Super versatile and easy to wear, I wore it to work, on the weekends, dressed it up and down, really any day of the week. . I’d definitely rent again next year and would consider buying it!

Very cool pants
I loved these pants and got a ton of compliments. Very unique from anything I own. I will say they run very long and slightly large. I was able to wear these comfortably through month 6 of pregnancy.

Great for cold weather
This is a very thick sweater and is great for cold weather. Because it is very thick, it's not the most flattering and I did get easily hot wearing it.

Great party pant
I wore these to a holiday party and got a ton of compliments on them! They are the right amount of loose, especially because I am 21 weeks pregnant. Also note that you can only wear these with flats if you are on the taller side - I'm 5'8" and they hit perfectly with flats but I couldn't wear them with heels.

Best Coat - so many compliments
I absolutely loved this coat! Held on to it for most of late winter/early spring. It was my main coat and wore it often and received SO many compliments every time I did. It's very comfy - definitely a baggier fit but the style is meant to be loose. Highly recommend!

I wore this coat a LOT over the "cold" winter months in Dallas, TX. It is a classic shape and fit, but the color makes it modern and on-trend. I got a lot of compliments on this one and I fully intend on renting again in the future!

Literally the best thing I've ever worn.
This jumpsuit was absolutely incredible. I wore it to a cocktail attire rehearsal dinner. It fit me perfectly and I got so many compliments. I'm 5'8" so the L was perfect with some good heels. The cut is amazing. I did use some fashion tape so nothing would pop out during my toast, but there was some definite side boob action. The legs are loose, which is great because I am very curvy in the but, hips, and thighs. The pockets are an added bonus, as always. I can't say enough good things about this jumpsuit. I wish I could wear it everyday!

Great fit. Fun color. Lots of compliments!
This dress is AWESOME! I wore it to my sister's college graduation and again for an anniversary celebration and received SO MANY compliments. It's very flattering, especially for pear/hourglass figures. The skirt is fully lined and fuller than I thought it would be, but still great nonetheless, and I think it makes it less casual. The top is unlined, to be sure wear an appropriate nude bra. Pockets are a bonus, as always. Overall, great dress!

Great dress! Fit beautifully. Lots of compliments.
I wore this to a black tie wedding and loved it. I did wear fashion tape in the front, as others recommended and I'm glad I did. The Long was perfect for my 5'8" height. And for others with an hourglass shape: it looks loose on the bottom, but there is underlining that fits more snug. Per usual, the 8 fit great up top but a 10 probably would have fit my bottom half better. But overall, this was a GREAT dress!

Great spring/summer dress! Flattering, comfortable, many compliments.
This was a GREAT dress. I wore it to work one day with flats and a couples shower another with wedges. It's easy to wear, but still looks great dressed up or down. I wore an 8 which fit well. It was a little loose, which I didn't mind because my bottom half is much larger than my top. My favorite thing is that it does NOT wrinkle. I traveled with it, wore it twice, and it still looked brand new. Overall, loved it!

The fit was perfect. I ended up not wearing the belt, I felt like the dress by itself was pretty enough on its own. The color was great, and the pockets were so much fun! I would definitely rent this again, and suggest it to others.

Awesome dress, lots of compliments!
I wore this dress to a wedding and absolutely loved it. I got so many compliments! The top was a little loose, and a 6 would have fit better but it wasn't available for backup. Definitely go for a size down if you have a smaller waist.
