Seconds Away From A Wardrobe Malfunction
You may not be able to tell from the photo, but this jumpsuit is 2015 Jennifer Lopez Golden Globes nip slip vibes in every sense. If you have that confidence and fabric tape, have at it Rented this for a formal event, and because of timing I had to wear it. The jumpsuit is beautiful in colour, length, and style... but a miss everywhere else. It runs large in s very awkward way. The straps are way to large, as is the waist slightly; but if you have large hips or a butt, then sizing down isn't an option. Couldn't wear s bra with this, and I had my friend attempt to tie the straps so the spillage wasn't major. When you stand, everything pulls down so you look ok, but when you sit it's a mess. In a bumpy Uber? Good luck.

Simple and Beautiful
This dress was light weight and not see through (though panty lines may show), it was slightly fitted (for me), and it was a proper maxi dress for my height. I was so excited! The dress has one slit on the left, but I wish it was bilateral. I wore this with white chucks and it did get caught in my shoes whilst walking. In terms of sizing, I'm 10-12, more towards 10. It was slightly big, but not enough to justify going down a size. Shoulders felt a bit loose, but it may be adjustable (I didn't try, didn't bother me). Great casual dress, for my shorter friends just know you may need heels.

A Stunner!
I wore this dress 4 times at both casual and formal events. The fabric where you tie the front is long enough such that you can wrap it to cover the cut out, giving it a more classy and formal look if you'd like. I'm 5'9 and the dress was a great maxi for my height, though it may be a bit long if you're shorter. I'm in between 10-12 (more 10) and XL was the size recommended for me. If I had gone with a L, it would have been too small. I wore this twice with a bra: once with it more conservative and once the way it's shown and I liked the way it looked. I had a lace bra that matched my makeup to tie it together, so don't feel like you have to go braless. If you're bustier, I think braless will be a hit or miss. Fabric is on the thinner side so you may not be happy with the support with the fabric alone. Side note: on a windy day you may need to hold the dress so it doesn't open up. Not too big of an issue. Overall amazing dress!!

The Dress Has Pockets!
We all know that the value of a dress drastically increases if it has pockets. This dress has two amazing pockets, that in itself is a selling point. Loved this dress! I'm in between a 10/12 and the recommended XL is true to size with no stretch. As a heads up, the dress is difficult to zip on your own and you may need a second person. The fabric was thick and didn't wrinkle. The dress is more of a dark navy blue, but it looks darker in the photos. I'm 5'9 and I loved the length of this dress, though it may run more like a maxi if you're shorter.

Fun and Versatile!
I rarely wear skirts, but I had to try this skirt and I loved it! I'm 5'9 and the skirt fell right past my knees, which was a length I really liked. Also, the selling point for me was that it had large, sturdy pockets I could actually use. If you have a small waist, size down. My butt/hips are a bit wider, so the skirt sat slightly higher than it normally should have causing it to be larger at the waist. I actually liked it, but if you don't like that, size down. I wore this for a night out, but also dressed it down for classes. Versatile and cute, will be renting again.

Too Cute!
Loved this dress and received so many compliments! I'm 5'9 and the length was perfect (without heels). The dress runs slightly large in the waist, but otherwise it's pretty true to size. There's a button on the inside, then you wrap and tie the dress. I wish it had two buttons for a slightly tighter fit. It was a windy day and I found myself trying to hold me dress from opening at times. Overall, it's a beautiful dress and I am strongly considering purchasing.

Súper Cute
Loved this cardigan, though I do wish it had pockets. Perfect length for tall people. I went a size up because i wanted a looser look as opposed to more a more fitted look. It's really simple and light weight, easily dressed up or down. May rent this again in the future

cute but a bit large
The dress was cute. Fit like a proper midi for my height. Material was a bit thinner than I expected, but not see through. The dress was just a bit on the larger size around the waist, but a size down may have been too small. Nevertheless the print looked great and it had adjustable straps were handy

If you have a butt....
If you have a butt, definitely size up. I couldn't get them over my butt. Problem is once you get it over, it may be large around the waist.
