Easy skirt that got tons of compliments!
I wore this to work one day and got compliments from so many people! Great pattern, super wearable. Easy for daytime or evening. If I had one complaint, it's that the fabric was pretty thin and the waistband kept flipping down.

Nice idea for a dress, Poot execution
I got an XL in this dress, and it was pretty loose. I wasn't going for a fitted look, but this was large enough that it felt sloppy instead of oversized. It just looked awkward overall. Nothing about it was quite right. The fabric was not was I was expecting - it felt very synthetic and definitely made swishing sounds as I walked. The pattern was a bit too bold for me, and I knew after trying it on that I wouldn't be wearing this rental.

Beautiful, sexy dress perfect for winter wedding
I absolutely loved this dress! I received compliments all night on it. The fabric was really forgiving and nice and thick. It was a little difficult to dance in because of the cut, but it's probably good that I didn't embarrass my bf by getting low in front of all his friends. I didn't wear a bra with it and was not concerned at all.

Sexy, sophisticated look
This was my backup look for a wedding, and it was so pretty I wish I had something else to wear it to. I tried both the XL and XXL on, and ended up going with the XXL because the fabric was not forgiving at all. You could see what I ate for breakfast in the smaller size. The larger size had a bit of room, but still showed a bit too much detail for my liking even with that. Would have for sure needed some spanx with this ensemble.

Beautiful dress with lots of compliments
Wore this to a rehearsal dinner and got a ton of compliments. I tried on the 14R, but could have fit in the 12R due to the size of the waist. It's not a true wrap dress (side zip) so you can't adjust it much smaller with the tie. There was a lot of fabric in the chest, which I'm sure is great for the ladies with a larger bust. For someone on the smaller side, I wish it was more low cut so it had a little bit more sex appeal (I don't need it to go down to my navel but like, let's show the girls off while I'm young, ya know?). Overall, the fabric was beautiful and flowy. The dress was lined, but would definitely need a lighter or neutral undie. I was going to wear black spanx beneath it, but you could see them easily.

Beautiful dress that is sure to get a ton of compliments
Everyone loved this dress, and it was perfect for a tropical wedding. No issues with the strapless and it did a nice job holding everything in

Scratchy, unflattering fit
Really wanted to like this item I rented with unlimited, but it hit in the exact wrong place on my body and made me look much larger than I am. The length was too short for my height at 5'7"

Cute top but not especially flattering
I wish this shirt was 3-5 inches longer. It cut at a weird place on my body and totally hid my waist. Also found the sleeve length with shirt length made my body look short and weirdly proportioned. I looked heavier in all the photos taken that night.

Easy to wear, impressive dress
It's definitely an oversized look. I'm normally a 12, and the medium was fine. A little tighter around my hips than I would have preferred, but nothing noticeable. Received a ton of compliments, and will definitely wear multiple times before returning. I paired it with tights and thigh high boots for work.

Beautiful, stylish pants that run large
I usually wear a 12 in bottoms, and was swimming in these. Could have definitely sized down to a 10, if not an 8. Regardless, they are great on and I got a ton of compliments. Will rent again with unlimited in a smaller size.

Beautiful dress but arms were too awkward
Rented this for a wedding, but went with another Reformation dress because this one was beautiful but a bit awkward. It's hard to describe the straps, but instead of sitting on your body normally, as expected, they kind of go around your arms? They're adjustable, but to keep the dress on and my boobs covered, they needed to be a little tight and it was awkward. Wouldn't have been able to dance and stay decent. I also have broader ribs, which is why I thought this dress would work well, but it was a little tight and made my fat bulge.

Easy to wear, stylish, and no-fuss
I wore these to work 3 different times, and they worked out really well for me. They're pretty forgiving, and I think heels really pull the look together because of the length. The one thing is that I am an hourglass with wide hips, so had some difficulty getting these on. Once they were over my hips they were fine, but the waistband was definitely stretched to max capacity to get there. No trouble with fit when I was wearing them, but if you're a heavier pear shape, it may be worth it to size up.

Cute, stylish, and easy
Wore this on a weekend up to the mountains, and it was great at being warm. Bonus was that it was sleeveless, so fit well under my winter coat without adding bulk!

A $500 hoodie? Sure, why not.
I was headed up to the mountains for the weekend, and needed 1 last comfy item to bundle up in. I decided to get this hoodie with Unlimited, because it seemed totally ridiculous yet necessary. Overall, it was comfy and pretty flattering for being oversized and quite long. However, I don't see how anyone would charge $500 for this. It's not that soft and there's nothing extraordinary about it. Great if you have Unlimited and need an item, but don't go out of your way to get it
