Comfortable and flattering!!
I loved this so much I considered purchasing! I was worried it would be too tight in the bust, but it fit perfectly and it provided enough support that I was able to wear it without a bra! For anyone else with a short waist, the cut on this is chefs kiss. Often dresses with a fitted bodice will fall at an awkward spot on my torso but this was incredibly flattering and also such a great transition piece for southern fall weather!

Too small
I so wanted these to fit but unfortunately, if you typically reach for the curvy or curve love style of jeans, these might not fit correctly around the waist. I was not able to wear them. Giving them 4 stars because I am planning to go to Madewell in person to try the curvy style because I loved the fit of these so much everywhere except the waist!

Fun but wouldn't rent again
I had to jump on this one as soon as I saw it, this was a fun rental that I wore out to dinner twice, and I was impressed as always to receive an item with the tags still on. Unfortunately, as someone with a pear shaped figure this was not incredibly flattering. I tried it with a belt but that made it a little too short (which is saying something, being 5'4"). Would look best on someone with a straighter body type.

Classic and cozy!
This was a great everyday sweater! It is super cozy (soft but not itchy!) and quite warm. I was able to wear it on days when the temperature hovered around 60-70 but now that it's getting warmer I'm swapping it out. This would be great for fall or layering in the winter. The stripes make it an instant classic piece and the fit is flattering!

Favorite Jacket
I cannot begin to tell you how much I absolutely loved this jacket!! I kept it for at least 3 shipments and would have purchased it if it was discounted at all. It is a perfect midweight jacket for winter and early spring in the south. As someone with wider hips who loathes winter coats (none of them zip past my hips or if they do they don't fit in the shoulders), this was a game changer. It is slightly looser and swingy but still warm with a quilted interior and wind proof exterior. I have been wanting to get a Barbour jacket so renting one was a nice introduction to the brand. I loved that this jacket was a newer, more trendy style and yet it still felt like it had a touch of the heritage that the brand is known for! 12/10, cannot recommend enough!

Runs small
Unfortunately I did not get to wear this to the event I attended and went with my backup style of dress. I knew that this style ran small and was hoping that by sizing up to a 10 that it would work (unfortunately the 12 was unavailable at time of renting), but I was unable to get it zipped up despite it fitting my hips and waist. If you have a larger chest or broader shoulders, be sure to size up at least one dress size! Disappointing for sure because it's a gorgeous dress and it would have looked stunning!

Very thick and warm!
I rented this a size up after reading other reviews and I'm glad that I did! This would have been very tight if I had gone with my usual size of M. The large fit well, but was a little looser and casual which is the look I was going for. The color is beautiful, the sweater was pilling a little bit (common with other wool sweaters I have rented), and was super warm! Definitely a good rental for cold weather but it may be too hot otherwise!

Stunning!
These are truly so fun and so stunning! I wore them for date nights to jazz up a more casual outfit and they are such a fun statement piece! They aren't heavy at all so they were comfortable to wear for a longer period of time.

LOVE
I absolutely fell in love with this jacket. It is so stylish and on-trend, and also incredibly warm. The material does not breathe at all, so it does get a little hot if it's above 50F but I rented it when the temperatures were in the 30's so I got a lot of use out of it!

Size down!
This is an absolutely stunning coat, so stylish but it truly is HUGE. I sized down to a medium (usually a large in coats to accommodate hips), but I needed a small. I made the medium work by cuffing the sleeves but it looked a little ridiculous.

Rented multiple times!
I previously rented this in a size large and found the fit just a little too oversized (but wore it anyways and loved it!), so I rented it this month in a medium which fit way better. The fit is oversized without looking sloppy. The color is absolutely stunning, and the sweater is very warm but not itchy (I did wear a t-shirt under it though).

Would rent again in smaller size!
This dress was so gorgeous but larger than I had expected due to the stretch in the fabric! I made the size L work but felt like I was swimming in fabric. Would rent again in a M because it was super flattering and comfy!

Absolutely Loved
Only the L was available and I was afraid it would be too big but it fit just right (typically a M in tops). If I had gotten the M it would have most likely been too short as this hit right at the top of my pants. The pleating makes this incredibly flattering, and it looked fantastic both dressed up with slacks or dressed down with jeans. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it weren't so expensive!

Obsessed
This dress is everything and I would absolutely purchase it if it wasn't so expensive. Incredibly flattering for my shape, stretchy and forgiving, buttons don't gape at all, and it's sexy without an insane amount of cleavage. The fabric is a beautiful weight so that it looks expensive without being heavy, and lends to the flattering cut. Dressed up for a dinner date and down for work. Will definitely be renting this again!

Great for rehearsal dinner
Wore this to a rehearsal dinner for a spring wedding and it was a showstopper! Gorgeous luxurious material. I wasn't sure about fit so I sized up to a large just to make sure it fit my lower half but it ended up being too big in the chest/armhole area. Used dress tape to eliminate gaping and threw a blazer over it towards the end of the evening to make it work.

12/10 so good
I rented this for my birthday dinner and am so obsessed! If it wasn’t so pricey, I definitely would have bought it. My bottom half is larger than my top so I sized up to a large and it fit perfectly. Was comfortable to sit in. The cut out is high enough that you can wear Spanx shorts underneath and the cut of the dress was so flattering as someone who is uncomfortable with their midsection. Definitely put it over your head before doing makeup and you may need help getting it back off because the neck hole was tight, but otherwise perfection! Will most likely rent again!

Too small, size up!
Wanted to love this so badly but unfortunately it was a really poor fit. Typically a solid 8, ordered an 8 and could barely zip it up. The top of the dress fit great, but if you have wider hips/a booty, definitely size up at least one from your usual size. Returned without wearing.
