A little short
These were ankle length on me. I got it with a vest that I thought was matching based on the way it was marketed, but they were actually different fabrics so I wasn't able to wear it as a set.

Lovely pop of color
Got so many compliments. I wore this belted and unbelted, both were great. No bra possible but the flow of the fabric worked with that. Will rent again.

Warm & fuzzy but also kind of shapeless
This was a comfy fit but didn't breathe as well as pure wool so I ended up getting a little overheated with the temperature changes from in to outdoors. I also feel like the fit just didn't really do any favors - I was hoping for a bit more of a crop. For a lounging around at home sweater it works!

Fabulous comfy standard
I've previously rented the Hepburn Wide Leg Pintuck cuffed jeans and liked the fit so much I bought them, so this time I was just looking for the same silhouette but darker. These are a noticeably softer denim (or maybe have just been washed many more times?) but fit perfectly (they make the butt look great) and were a great rental.

Expected it to be warmer
Perhaps because it’s not 100% wool this didn’t stand up to the winter chill as much as I might have hoped. With enough layers underneath it worked and is certainly elegant. It was just on the verge of being too small but I have big shoulders so it’s probably tts.

Fun style to try
These were comfortable as pajama pants but with an elevated look. The boxer detail is odd and I presume will go out of style soon but is fun to try. I prefer higher waist pants these days but the low rise was flattering with the right top. I wore them a ton.

Unexpected attention grabber
When I first tried it on I couldn’t figure out whether it was giving choir robe or galactic empress. Whatever it was worked. I felt amazing and, well, a bunch of interesting guys hit on me. I would take out the shoulder pads if I owned this but it was fun to step a bit out of my comfort zone.

This small clutch had a convenient optional strap and was just big enough for a phone, charger, and chap stick, all I really needed.

Of the moment but didn't send me
These are very fashionable right now and generally I like a good barrel leg. They were ankle length on me (5'10") which isn't the best look for me and they gave me a very slight wedgie. I wore them a fair amount but wasn't tempted to keep them.

Cute, revealing
As a bigger chested woman (34F) I know the tie-front trend is a risk. I wore a bra with this and just dealt with the fact a little showed in the gap in the front. I felt like my boobs were very out there and that's not really my style so didn't wear it much.

Light summer dress
This was a creative take on gingham and I found it visually interesting but not that flattering on. I added a belt but still didn't feel like it looked amazing. It was comfortable on a really hot day but I don't see myself renting again.

Hard to style
I found this difficult to style - it looks great with the matching pants but they don't seem to be available anymore. Between the stitching, color, and ultra high crop I couldn't figure out how to make this work and ended up barely wearing it.

Oscar earrings never fail
These were gorgeous, caught the eye, and got lots of compliments. I wore them for a panel and a few people came up after to ask me where I'd gotten them. I'm always tempted to keep my Oscar de la Renta earring rentals (this is my third!) but can't bring myself to pull the trigger based on the price.

Too tight in the bust/armpits
I couldn't wear this one, even though there was a bit of stretch. My roommate who is slightly smaller chested ended up wearing it and it looked great on her. The material was pretty heavy denim. The length made it conservative but the top is low cut so an odd hybrid.

Small hips and zero stretch
As a curvy person these just didn't fit. There was no stretch so my hips were squeezed in and then the waist gapped. The length was a little short on my 5'10" frame too.

Most worn item this month
The super crop makes it a little hard to style but I found myself coming back to this over and over again this month. It was just warm enough for the beginning of fall as my go-to blazer for evenings, and looked sharp for business during the day.

These were easy to wear and for plenty of compliments. I realized I’m more of a silver than gold person so didn’t wear as much as I might have otherwise but generally glad I tried these.

More casual than expected
This was a cotton twill. I was expecting more suiting material so it was a bit more casual than expected. Also could have used more waist definition but overall a cute look.

Loved the fit and the colors and got tons of compliments. It is long which was great on my 5’10” frame. Yes see through but fine with nude colored undergarments. Just a perfect end of summer dress.

Fun print, maybe a little oversized
I enjoyed wearing this. It's completely sheer so worth planning what bra you'll wear underneath - but that's part of the look! It's surprisingly easy to style with such a variety of colors.

Welcome back to the 90s!
These were huge - made me feel like I was wearing JNCOs again (bless if you're too young to know what that means). They're on trend and the fit was but they were so long I had to wear heels which was a bit at odds with the casual grungy look. Happy with the rental and feel just fine sending them back.

High quality, runs large
This was a well constructed jacket. I folded it in into a bag and it came out looking completely fresh, no wrinkles - good for this transition weather. I sized up to a 10 because I have broad shoulders and it felt huge. From reading the other reviews this seems common and I might re-order in my usual 8. I have long arms and appreciate the sleeves covered them fully.

Surprisingly comfortable and supportive
Loved wearing this and got tons of compliments. I sized up since my usual 8 wasn't available and the 10 fit perfectly so 8 may have been too small.

Elevated casual
It’s hard to find a silk dress that is fitted and comfortable to wear all day and this was 95% of the way there. It fit my figure perfectly but the straps were just a little tight and I didn’t love the print - I’d rather something solid or a little more distinctive. But overall nice piece and was great for travel because it’s so light.

Fun unique look
I didn’t end up wearing this as I was renting for a specific event and another dress fit slightly better, but I loaned it to a friend and she looked stunning. I really liked the fit and wish I had more formal events this month and could’ve had occasion to wear both. The fabric is pretty thick and the top is cut pretty low for my 34F bust but nothing was spilling out.

Compliments all day
This is a casual dress that you might be able to dress up, but I loved just wearing it day-to-day. It’s very bright so not right for every occasion but was a great summer dress and I ended up wearing it a lot during my cycle. The slit is just the right height. The neckline is a little weird where it juts in at one side so I ended up wearing a racer back bra.

Wanted to like it more
As many reviewers have noted, this dress is nice, but somehow just doesn’t really flatter that much. The top is supportive, and I liked that I could go without a bra quite comfortably even with a larger chest. But the body of the dress just seemed to hang down, didn’t accentuate my waist, and overall felt pretty informal. I loved the color in the pattern and the texture of the fabric and did end up wearing this a few times, but it wasn’t my favorite.

Just wow!
I wasn’t expecting this to be as flattering as it was! It was a bit of a risk for me, considering my bus size to order this top, which seemed pretty revealing. But it ended up looking fantastic, and I really wanted to wear it out, but I ended up going with something else for the formal event. I will probably rent this style another time for the right occasion.

Tube tops just really don’t flatter me or stay up easily on my frame so I didn’t end up wearing this, but I really love the look. I have already bought the tank top in the same color scheme.

I got tons of compliments on this dress, especially the open back which added a bit of interest. Overall, it felt pretty conservative and I didn’t feel like it did that much for me at the front but again everyone seemed to like it and I got tons of compliments.

This dress is very va va voom. Fun if that’s what you’re going for but I don’t usually show so much boob and felt a bit insecure about it, so only wore this once out later at night.

This fit like a glove and I kept reaching for it. Lots of compliments. I ended up hiking it up to cocktail length when I was walking around because otherwise it's quite restricting - and it just looks like a ruched dress when it's hiked up. Contemplating buying this if it goes on sale..

Not all buttons work
I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to undo all the buttons. This was way too small up top for me to wear - I could have worn it buttoned at the waist as a sort of corset look on top of a white collared shirt, but because I couldn't unbutton the top buttons that wasn't an option.
