Lots of fabric on the hips
This was a nice thick material but the fabric on the hips and where it hit me wasn't flattering. If I had the time to find a stretchy thick belt to accent the waist it would have been passable. I was traveling with it so not possible. Color nice, fabric nice.

Lady like, classic and Versatile
Great little piece. Could go to work to happy hour. Wore it over boyfriend jeans and a tank with motorcycle boots and wore it to work over a black romper with pearls. Big fan. Didn't purchase due to the 500+ price. At that cost I will go find a used channel jacket that inspired this piece.

Huge
Pretty color and idea but super wrinkly fabric and tent like. I ordered a size up (to cover a baby bump) I could have gone a size down from my preprego size and had room to spare. If you rent 1) you better own a steamer 2) go down at least one size.

Well made, fun color
Loved this soft red leather jacket. It's a little boxy but that makes it cute for over pencil skirts and skinny pants. Had a lady at the mall run me down to ask me where I got it. Very well constructed with a good weight for multiple types of seasons.

Cute and work appropriate
Nice fit. Ran normal in size and kind of flowy. If you're between sizes go down. Nice transitional piece from work to happy hour. Cute print!

Perfect church dress for Christmas Eve and with a blazer and riding boots perfect for work. Nice stretch to the fabric, if anything size down if between sizes.

Lady like with a nod to the 60s
I loved the lines on this and it's great color. If between sizes go down. The pleats will add a bit of volume to your hips area. If you are not a fan of that, this dress isn't for you. If I owned it I would shorten it a bit on the hem. It kind of hits in no man land and either should be shorter to go with that 60s look or longer with more volume in the skirt. As is it's perfect for a work holiday party.

Gorgeous color
Beautiful fall color, well made and fit nicely. It's almost a swing coat fit with lots of room but fitting through shoulders and arms. It's nice quality.

Well made with thoughtful details
This is versatile, high quality and nice weight jacket. It does fit boxy which it should. Looks all the better with ankle boots or skinny jeans. Fun to play up the military essence of it with anything lady like or delicate. The black lace pencil skirt I wore with it was perfect. The details are great. I love the buttons and the red pipping. I would go down one size. I'm usually a 4/6 and the six was way too large in general especially on my shoulders. Tall girls rejoice, the arms are longish!

Classic but fashion forward
Love this. On point for the season. Everything is well done on the piece minus the buttons. They fell off immediately. I had my next door neighbor (tailor shop) reinforce all of them so I could actually wear it. Now it's perfect and you should rent it! I went down a size and was totally happy. Rent it... But make sure you watch the cute buttons!

Someone drove me down in a parking lot to ask where it's from...
This is a really fun piece. It's pretty well made, fun pattern and flattering. I loved it. It was missing the belt sash which was a bummer. But still looked great with one of mine.

It's all in the details
This dress is the holy trinity of well made, classic and slightly sexy. I wore it for my grooms dinner. I had so many compliments. The illusion top, lace details and back is just perfect. Being its illusion top and the hem length is respectful this is conservative enough to wear in a church environment. It also has flattering on the bum and hugs your curves. This with a cage vail could totally pass for a chic & simple wedding dress in a court house or something similar. Very satisfied with this rental.

Perfect updated LBD shift dress
Love everything about this dress. It shouldn't be form fitting, it's a shift style. I'm sure some may find it "runs big" but it was designed (and flattering) that way. Beautiful gold cuff buttons fun to play up with other gold accessories, well made with quality liner under, nice material. I wore it with a scarf, leggings and slouch booties to work then an orchard. Also dressed it up on date night with cage high heals and tassel chandelier earrings. I'm 5'9 and didn't find it short at all. Still would even be conservative work place perfect with a blazer or cardigan. I think I just convinced myself to buy it... Rent it people.

Great price, very versatile
This does run a bit large but it is supposed to. It's long enough for tall girls! If I rented again I'd go with the small being a size 4 usually. Very well made and perfect travel item!

Pretty but not for ladies over 5'7
Great color and fabric. Real Pockets were on the hips inseam adding bulk. I have no idea why designers do that move. I felt ok with the extra fabric but some may not want to add curves. I'm high waisted and 5'9 " oddly most romper work on me. This was borderline. Ideal body shape for this would be a narrow girl wanting more curves around 5'3". I wore it with opaque tights, a blazer and booties to make it a little less skin baring as a tall girl.

Turn heads but keep in eye on the lady parts
This is gorgeous and different. I went up a size to fit my chest. If I owned this I would totally sew in cups. I would recommend using fashion tape. You will want to keep an eye out to make sure you do not have a Janet Jackson moment. Lovely for a summer evening or a tropical vacation.

Fun & flirty
I wore this for a pool party cover up. The color and material is great. I wear a 26 in jeans and the medium fit well. It is short, but no shorter than a tennis skirt and it has shorts in it so if you are tall (I'm 5'9'') you can still totally rock this thing.

Well made, gorgeous and flattering. THIS DOES NOT RUN SMALL, I went up a size due to reviews saying it runs small. This isn't the case. If you are a 2- to a smallest six go with the Small.

Well made and fun
If you are on the taller side, size up. My only complaint is the sash looked really beat up even after I steamed it. I wish it was removable so I could accessorize it with some fun belts. Cynthia Vincent always makes amazing clothing!

Definitely not a piece I would buy for over 100 dollars. The color and style in nice but the quality is like something from the loft or express. Good unlimited rental. Fun vivid color.

Fun and a great layer to add texture to an outfit
Love this cuddly soft and fun vest! It isn't some 2 grand mink, it's rabbit which is totally fine and a value for the rental price. It does shed because of this fact. So bring a mini lent brush roller with you.

Simple and easy to wear
It runs true to size if not a little big in the waist. The cut and material is very similar to something one would find at H&M. As many inexpensive options exist similar to this and because it's something you could wear multiple times I would just suggest buying something similar vs renting.

Flattering and Sweet
Besides the fact the material some what reminded me of a delta flight attendant's uniform (I actually kind of like that for some reason) I really liked this dress! It is unbelievably flattering and perfect for many different types of events. For most work places this would totally work with the correct stockings.

Gorgeous butter leather and clean design
This is really a well made beautiful piece. The shoulders were a little big on me, and the boxy cut was a bit more pronounced than I thought. I should have gone a size down but it still looked great with a pencil skit or skinny jeans. The leather quality is top notch. Very versatile jacket.

Great for ladies around 5'3'' with heals to 5'6'' in flats
Fun and playful piece but sadly it did not make it out for the evening. It was to my ankles! I am 5'8.5'' exactly. I even went up a size for extra fabric. The stock model appears to be around my height and swimming in the length so I thought this may work. Sadly it did not. The absolute tallest I think one could be would be 5'6'' and that would be pushing it. As in you better have gladiator sandals on hand and rocking this to an outdoor day event with a straw fedora pushing it.
