Cute but a little short.
Perfect for a weekend athleisure look. I paired with a cropped hoodie as shown but not the same brand. Super cute, but the pants hit higher up on my leg than expected given the look on the model who I assume has longer legs than my 5'5" self. More like a capri length.

Such a fun dress!
I'm normally not a fan of a drop waist dress as a girl with hip, but this dress is flattering and incredibly comfortable. Perfect for day wear or could dress it up for an evening out. I styled for work with some Doc Martins, but a cute sandal would make it evening ready. Fabric swishes while you walk which has a cute flirty effect.

Really cute with some chunky boots.
Wore for work and it is incredibly comfortable and beautifully constructed. I would've liked a little mor definition in the waist, so I'd go down a size next time. Also, more orangey than it looks in the picture, but I loved it.

Stunning and Fun LBD!
I have a smaller top and bigger hips, so I'm always nervous when I rent a dress to fit my bottom half, but this dress did not disappoint. The top fit perfectly and is thick enough to be worn with or without a bra. The slit doesn't come so high that you feel uncomfortable when sitting, but is enough to add some sexiness. The cutout is fun and didn't make my side pudge out which was a concern depending on the tightness of the dress. A fun and flirty alternative to your standard LBD. Was perfect for a cocktail attire rehearsal dinner!

Unique and Easy
I was unsure how I'd feel about this jumpsuit as it definitely has a working jumpsuit vibe, but I absolutely loved it. Not only is it incredibly comfortable, but it looks effortlessly chic when paired with a wedge or lace-up heel. I would definitely recommend for a weekend day or even work if you can wear a more casual outfit.

Perfect summer dress
I loved this dress! A lot of people said the top would be tight, but I'm small-chested and was so happy to have a neckline that was very flattering and fitted. Bigger chested girls will definitely have an issue as the fabric doesn't have any stretch. The bottom moves nicely and it's incredibly comfortable while still looking cute!

Fun and Flirty
Firstly, when you put this on, you will realize you look a little like the dancing emoji but in the best way possible. This dress is on trend for the midi length florals this year, and I felt flirty and feminine in it. The neckline isn't overly revealing, and the slit only shows when you move. The dress is cut beautifully and falls perfectly on the body. Definitely a standout piece!

Classy and Sexy
I had planned to wear this to work with a blazer but ended up wearing it for a night out with friends for rooftop drinks. The side detail makes this dress sexy enough for a night out. I love the way a racerback and high front neckline shows off my shoulders, so I felt beautiful in this dress. The material is somewhat stretchy so if you have some curves, don't fret. Would definitely rent again!

Easy Adorable Dress
I was excited to finally find a shift dress that wasn't oversized on top to fit my curvier bottom half. It does have a slight flare, so plenty of room for a booty while not looking boxy on top. I wore for dinner with friends and again to work as you can dress it up or down. It hits a few inches above the knees in the front, and is slightly longer in the back--also, not too revealing when you sit down. Prefect for the hot summer days we've been having in NYC.

Beautiful LBD!!
This dress was absolutely gorgeous and a perfectly unique LBD. I wore for a party cruise with friends, and received endless compliments. The material is thicker, so I didn't feel the need to wear a bra. It hugged my curves perfectly, and though it is midi length, the front slit adds an extra touch of sexiness. I will definitely be renting again!

Sophisticated and Beautiful
I felt so gorgeous in this dress and will definitely be renting again. I wore to work, but it would be great for plenty of occasions. The material falls perfectly on your body, and flows beautifully when you walk. I have a much smaller waist than hips and wore a 2 since the skirt was flowing. The fitted waistband really accentuated the slimmest part of me without being tight, and the draping top leaves plenty of room if you're better endowed in the chest than me. I would highly recommend this dress to anyone!

Amazing Jumpsuit!
This jumpsuit is so comfortable, it feels like you are wearing PJs. I paired with 4 inch wedges and the pants were just the right length. If you're under 5'3", I'd definitely get the petite! There is a single tiny snap button in the front to keep the chest closed, but I actually wore with fashion tape for a sexier look for a night out at the beach. It was a standout look that got compliments all night long.

Unique and Adorable
I rented this for a friend's bachelorette party, and it was such a hit. It is such a fun and unique piece that catches everyone's eye. It's big enough to fit all the things you could need for a night out and is easier to hold than most clutches as you can stick your hand through the fox face and the purse.

Feminine and Flirty
This dress was perfect for a date night of dinner and a movie. The material is thicker than the other styles of this dress from Hunter Bell--more like a brocade. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that the thickness of the material can make it lay a little funny, and I had to play with it a while to get it to lay appropriately. Don't need a bra as the fabric up top is plenty thick.

This jumpsuit is perfect for a casual or slightly dressed up affair--just change up your accessories. The material is very lightweight, and the off-the-shoulder look is perfectly on trend. I've rented this twice now--once for brunch with friends and the other for a beach vacation. Plenty of room in the shorts for anyone with a butt.

Great jacket for all occasions!
I kept this jacket for about 3 months and am returning only because I won't use it during the summer. It was the perfect piece to throw over leggings and a tshirt or a formal dress for a night out. I was so sad to send it back. May need to make it a permanent part of my wardrobe!

Traditional Wrap Dress
This was a great traditional wrap dress. The only reason I am giving it a 4 is that the arms were a little tight and short. This happens to me fairly often as I have a more athletic build--aka not twigs for arms or legs--but I think sizing up would've made the dress too big.

Beautiful but beware...
I've worn sequin dresses before, and we all know you run the risk of getting some cuts from those sharp little suckers--this one did a number on my forearm. It wasn't unbearable, but I had to make an effort to keep my hands on my hips all night to reduce scratching. It looked like i was in a fight with a small kitten the next morning. However, compliments galore, and I truly love the look of the dress. Fitwise, I opted for the 6 over the 4 for fear the 4 would rip if I made to sudden of movement or sat for that matter. There is no give in the lining. Top was a little too big in the 6, but it wasn't really an issue. Straps came down once or twice but were easily put back in place.

Standout color and style!
This dress is ones of the easiest things I've ever worn, and it can be dressed up or down. I wore with heels for a night out with friends, but you could pair with sandals for a daytime look as it's not a full maxi length so won't drag on the ground. If you're like me and have very different bottom and top half sizes, fit the dress to your top half since the bottom is loose.

Fun for casual or slightly dressier affair
Super cute dress that can be dressed up or down depending on your mood. I wore with a denim jacket and sandals for a friend's birthday party. I am 5'5", and the dress was fairly short on me, so I wouldn't plan to wear high heels with it. I could've worn flats, and it would have skimmed the ground slightly. I didn't wear a bra and had no issues, but if you have a larger chest, this dress might be harder to wear as the triangles for the chest are fairly small.

Cute for any occasion!
This romper is super cute and comfy, but definitely size down! I am always nervous with a jumpsuit as my bottom half is much larger than my top, but the shorts looked loose enough that a small would work. I was surprised to find the whole thing was fairly loose. The belt area hit around my hips rather than my waist which I would have preferred, but overall, super comfortable and cute. Can be dressed up or down.

The perfect party jumpsuit!
I am in love with this jumpsuit! I rented it for a trip to Atlantic City where I felt it would be appropriate to be totally covered in sequins. It was a showstopper and totally different from anything else I saw that night. You definitely need fashion tape to help keep the deep plunge in place, but two pieces were enough for me. I was concerned about gapping as my bottom half is much larger than my top, but the adjustable straps make it fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend this piece!

Sophisticated with a hint of sexy!
This dress is the perfect outfit for a day to night work look. I wore on a night I knew I was meeting friends for happy hour. It hugged me curves in all the right places and is the perfect thickness of material to stay true to its fit all day. I normally wear a four in dresses, but sized up to the six based on other reviews which fit perfectly. A must rent for all day compliments!

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner and never received so many compliments!
This was the perfect outfit for something different for a rehearsal dinner. I am 5'5" and thought the legs ran a little short, so I ended up having to wear a shorter heel than I expected. No matter, though, it still looks like you have legs for days in this jumpsuit as the waist sits a bit higher. I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole night!
