It’s hard to overstate how unflattering this coat is. I’m a size 8 and it made me look like violet beauregarde from Willy Wonka (aka as wide as I am tall) with a humpback. No amount of cinching saves this piece. A spectacularly terrible rental. Returned immediately.

Large
Who knows what size I am anymore at 7.5 months pregnant, but these seem large. I'm 5'4" so the length was too long, and the waist seemed a bit large (at least compared to maternity denim). Would have been a really lovely pair of pants for work or everyday, perhaps for a taller person.

Fantastic
This runs huge. I'm 7.5 months pregnant and still swimming in the M-L but it's meant to be oversized. The pattern and length are so great. Such a nice break for work and everyday from my other dumpy maternity cardigans.

LOVE
Rented for work and life while 7.5 months pregnant. Such a lovely cut and fabric. Easily the best quality piece I've rented in a while. Was so nice to wear a duster with some shape for once, as opposed to a dumpy maternity cardigan. You definitely don't need to be pregnant to rent this, but wow what a nice change of pace for those who are.

Scratchy and large
7.5 months pregnant and this Size 2 was quite large on me. I own a Hatch jumpsuit & dress in in Size 3 which fit great, this Size 3 rental was huge. Size down for a more shape. Fabric is also very scratchy. Nice color though.

Size up
If you have a bust, I'd size up. Couldn't zip this up past my bra strap. Otherwise, it looked and felt like a great party dress

Rough but chic
Fabric was a bit rough but otherwise the perfect February rental for work and a trip to wine country. Loved the crop and the buttons.

So many compliments
Super fun, versatile dress I wore for work, wine tasting and a family brunch. Was worried I'd get lost in it but the tight part in the middle is very flattering. Definitely will rent again.

The very best romper
Definitely ended up keeping this one. So playful, flattering and fun. Easy to wear with a normal bra and my butt doesn't hang out which is a huge plus.

Perfect work jumpsuit
I should have kept this. Only sent back because it was a bit short, kind of gave me a wedgie which seemed odd as I'm pretty short. Otherwise I wish I could wear this every day a la Steve Jobs and a black turtleneck. It's so easy to throw on and look professional and chic.

No thanks
Pattern looks like something out of Mad Men IRL, but not in a good way. Didn't wear.

Best for the non-busty
Rented for grandma's 95th birthday party and it was allllmmmmost perfect. Pros: This dress is so pretty, and has adjustable straps so you don't get cut out of the will for excessive cleavage. Tons of compliments from grandma and guests. Cons: Has one of those below-the-bust seams that will cut you off if you're not a B-cup. Hiked this bad boy up with the adjustable straps to maintain some modesty, but you can see it created a lumpy, lopsided-looking boob situation. Learnings: Size up as I did if you're top heavy, or opt for another dress altogether.

Rent ASAP
Love this jacket as much as the puppy I'm holding in this photo. So easy and flattering. I always get nervous about fake leather but this one looked nice/not cheap. Solid rental.

Work event perfection
Loved the stitching on this jumpsuit. Perfect for work and customer meetings. High neck was conservative, mostly flattering and photographed fairly well. One downside is it got pretty wrinkled In my suitcase and I was a bit nervous to iron since the fabric is so gauzy, but it all worked out.

Solid work dress
Perfect for work and customer meetings. Can easily be buttoned up so it's not too revealing. Wasn't too short either, and fairly flattering. Love that it didn't get overly wrinkled In my suitcase. The one thing is it was a tiny bit snug across the chest, but runs fairly true to size.

Just ain't cute
Material felt and looked cheap, and I don't think the cut is meant for my body type. I felt like there was an upside down cupcake wrapper at the bottom. A bit snug on the chest and shoulders, but also wouldn't have wanted to size up too much because the bottom was so boxy. Didn't end up wearing.

Boss Big Bird
HUGE fan of this jacket. The color was so fun, and it is such a unique, stand out piece. I wore it so many times for so many different looks Fourth of July weekend -- from jeans/flowy top to jean shorts/bathing suit. Also wore to work a few times and got a ton of compliments. It runs pretty large, so not wildly flattering. Going to order a size down next time around.

honestly I wore these about 10x. So tempted to purchase but couldn't justify yet another pair of black jeans. Love this brand and the style. Length was good for short to medium height girls.

Sophistication and elegance
LOVE this dress. So sophisticated, but also sexy (a la Jessica Rabbit). I wasn't able to wear this because the right event never surfaced this holiday season, but 10/10 would rent again for a fancier event. Note: great fit for busty gals. It's modest enough.

That blue stitching, though!
LOVE. Was so tempted to buy. Perfect for work but also a good day to night piece. The detail with the blue stitching is 10/10. I'd say this was more arguably more flattering on me than the model, so fear not busty shoppers. Note: I did have to pin the cleavage but it didn't look tacky or pull.

Family party perfect
I wore this dress to a family Christmas party and was was just sexy enough not to horrify the older relatives. Not fussy at all, the right length, and good coverage in the cleavage area. 10/10 would rent again.

Nice, got lots of compliments!
Liked this sweater a lot, and several coworkers asked where I got it. Almost bought, but it's a bit too itchy (just a bit). Strongly recommend though!

Super easy to wear. I personally love the color, as it's a bit different and goes with a lot. Ended up buying this because the cost was so low after the discount.

I liked these and did get compliments but alas, when you're 5'3", a cropped pant they are not.

I love a top with a cutout at the back. Really solid choice, even if it's not the best quality of all time.

Great quality and so sophisticated!
Loved this piece. Looked so well made and sophisticated. I got tons of compliments at work. I really liked the thickness. There wasn't any weird bumping around my bra or the seams. Tempted to purchase 100%!

A cute Donald Duck
I liked this top, and it's decent quality, but i didn't realize it had the back flap when I ordered. It's cute, but opted to tuck my duck tail in the end. Looked great otherwise and got a bunch of compliments. Having a larger chest (34E), I really appreciate that the buttons across the chest didn't pull.
