Not for tall / long torso girls
Really liked the overall design of this sweater and wore it on some video calls but couldn’t leave the house in it because it was super cropped. Would not recommend if you are tall or have a long torso.

Fun to try out the super wide bell bottoms that are coming back in trend. These fit well with a very high waist and good length for wearing boots.

Overall I liked it but the torso was too short so I couldn’t comfortably wear it.

Very difficult to get on and off
This did fit but maybe because I have a long torso I found it super difficult to get on and off due to limited stretch and the way it’s structured. Didn’t even want to think about needing to go to the bathroom in this so didn’t end up wearing it anywhere.

Loved the pattern; fit was a little tight
Loved this for Mother’s Day brunch - my mom gave me compliments! The material keeps this casual but you could dress it up. As others mentioned the waist is super tight. I needed helping zipping this one up and then it gaped a little in the chest.

Wore this to a winter bridal shower, and it was perfect. Overall was comfortable although the arm bands are a little tight. Would work for all seasons, depending on how you dress up.

Cute summer dress
Loved this as a lightweight summer dress that could be dressed up or down. Super comfortable and didn't need to wear a bra. Agree with the other reviews this is for taller women with long torsos (aka me) so it was perfect! Size down. Straps were a little long but didn't fall down too much.

Very short on one side
The material of this dress is light and airy - feels really nice on, almost silky. Unfortunately either this dress just fits oddly or it was slightly too small for my hips because the one side was so short and was basically exposing my butt when I moved. Definitely would not have felt comfortable wearing in public.

Runs soooo small
I rented this is my usual size despite some reviews that suggested sizing up due to availability. I could not even get this dress on and probably needed at least 2 sizes up. If you have curves at all, I would not rent this dress.

I thought this top looked so cute in the photos, but it felt like a potato sack from the prairie when I put it on. I also found it to be more cropped than shown.

Sexy and fun!
I rented this for a casual bday party and felt so good in it. It really hits all the right spots and I was able to wear a regular bra without fashion tape. Loved renting this as a trendier piece that I'm not going to wear everyday.

Cute and fun!
I wore this to a casual Easter and got a lot of compliments from my family. I needed to wear a white cami underneath - not sure how anyone pulls off wearing nothing given how sheer the fabric is and the low V. I also felt like the chest area gaped slightly, so another reason to need something underneath. It's pretty cropped so I wore high waisted jeans.

Too small in the arms
This jacket ran small and I should have sized up. Normally I struggle with jackets fitting in the arms, which I did with this one too, but even the body felt tight and I couldn't wear it. Overall, very cute jacket though and wish it had fit.

Loved it!
This dress was so comfortable and I got a lot of compliments! My usual medium (6) wasn't available so I took a gamble on the small and it worked out. I have a smaller waist so probably wouldn't recommend sizing down if you have more of a straight build. I did need fashion tape to keep the girls in place due to the smaller size.

So pretty!
Wore this to a work holiday party and got lots of compliments. I loved all the detailing and that the dress was unique. It was super comfortable - I wore my normal 6 and maybe could have sized down to a 4 for a more fitted look since there's a lot of stretch but preferred the room to move throughout the night.

So many compliments!
When I first put this on I thought maybe it was a bit too tight but it settled nicely one I got buttoned up. It was super comfy and felt like pajamas. Very flattering and I got so many compliments about how I looked in it. As a long torso girl this worked but rode up just a bit when sitting down. I found the pants a little cropped since I'm shorter. I have thicker thighs so the pants were more form fitting there. Ps. Don't mind the belly dancer in the photo.

Cute silhouette but big waist
I really wanted to like these pants because the length / cut of the leg was really cute but the waist was too big. They fit everywhere else (I have athletic thighs) so I don't think sizing down was an option. If you have thinner legs I recommend sizing down!

Loved it!
This dress was great for an hourglass figure. Definitely a bit tight in the bust / waist but once you get it on it fits perfectly. Loved the different patterns and flow of the bottom of the dress. Bust was tight enough there's no need for a bra.

Got compliments at work!
Loved this dress! It was great with black tights in the winter. I didn't realize it's more of a silk material until I got it, but that dressed it up since the shape is a bit boxy (which I liked). Not pregnant but this would be great for early maternity.

Zipper made this so uncomfortable
The dress was true to size and looked good on but the back zipper was so annoying and I couldn't wait to take this off at the end of the day. The zipper unzips from the top and bottom and you literally can't walk in this unless you unzip a bit at the bottom. Problem is that it completely unzips with any movement so I used a safety pin. Even then I felt very constricted moving around.

Couldn't wear this because the arms were so tiny
Wanted to love this dress but literally could not get it on because the arm holes were TINY. It fit everywhere else so sizing up wasn't an option. Don't rent this if you ever have trouble with items like blazers fitting your arms.

The fabric pattern was beautiful but the snap kept coming undone.
Needed to wear a cami under this even with the snap closed. It was tight in the chest and the snap kept coming undone which was annoying being at work. It fit well everywhere else so I don't think sizing up would help.

Loved having this cute top at the end of summer. I originally rented this thinking I could pair with white pants but the flowers are not really white and didn't go. Still loved the top and wore it with blue jeans instead.

Detail on the back made these special
Loved the color and style of these jeans. Found myself wearing them a bunch. I sized up based on reviews (normally wear an 8 in jeans but went up to the 30R). When I first put them on I was glad I sized up but they quickly stretched out, especially in the waist. Next time I will rent in my regular size.

A great pair of white jeans. I normally wear an 8 in jeans but sized up to the 10 (30R) based on reviews and they fit perfectly.

Loved it! Fit great and got tons of compliments
The pattern / embroidery on this dress is stunning in person. I have a small waist and larger hips. Normally in a dress that's form fitting like this I would get an 8 for my hips but the 6 (my normal size) fit perfectly. There is no stretch in the fabric but it was very easy to dance in all night.

Too short for work and low cut + runs tight in the arms. Ultimately didn't wear it.
This dress had no stretch so while it fit, I felt like I couldn't move comfortably in it. Sizing up would have made the fit weird, especially in the chest as I felt the 6 already gaped a bit.
