Fun print, but you may want to size up.
Love the colors but as a 30 DD the bust was a little tight for me and the waist did not lay flat. I ended up wearing something else.

Comfortable and cute
Cotton for summer is my favorite. Print is fun and like the ruffles at the hem. Weird front ties that I guess are meant to tie in the back only they made me feel like I had a stomach poof so left them hanging down. Wore it for pick up and drop offs and threw on a button down Jean shirt to cover my shoulders. Would be a great dress for a bbq because it conceals your stomach so you don't have to worry if it's sticking out.

Sooo comfortable...
This one surprised me, I only took a photo at home which you can see wore it to dinner while on vacation too. It was such a comfortable dress. Hard to describe the fit but the fabric is super soft, dress is fully lined and felt like it hugged me without being tight. Liked the long slits on the sides for style and functionality (made walking super easy). Fairly certain the straps are adjustable too. Wore it in Mexico and it wasn't too heavy. I'd rent again!

Perfect for vacation
Love the print and it was perfect for our trip to Mexico. I didn't have any problems with the tie like others mentioned but the fabric is smoother so it makes the fabric slide a little, I just tied the wrap right and seemed to stay put. Being tall has its perks but for some this may be too short. I wore nude boy shorts underneath just in case. Definitely recommend and would rent again!

Love the ruffles
Felt cute in it but wished it was a smidge longer in the inseam. Based on other reviews I went down a size and it fit really good but also wonder if the 6 would have given me the length I wished for. Print is so fun and the added ruffle sleeves are fun without being too cutesy.

Meh...
Love the back but the top gave me a unibob and wasn't that happy with the way it looked on me. I ended up wearing something different.

Pretty but wish it had a stronger closure
Wore it for a date and as a took my jacket off the top opened in front too. Thankfully I wore a black bandeau underneath so while it was a bit of an embarrassing shock I didn't show all the goods. Loved the colors and the fun tie. I recently lost weight so I would be willing to try it again in a smaller size... just button closure beware!

Pretty
Love the sleeves, a little poof. Black with a delicate gold detail around the circle designs. It was starting to get a little warm outside so I only wore it once. I think this would make a great top for the holidays so would definitely try it again.

Almost kept this one...
Fun pattern and the back is cool too. I got a large but I think that a medium may be better. It was a big on the top and I'm a 32DD. The ties are only for design so I wasn't able to tie it tighter in the back. Also wasn't sure if I should wear a bra or not. Either way... Wore it twice, once with a strapless which was tricky because of the back and once without. Pasties would probably be a good option for this dress. I will give the medium a try and if it fits... I may not send it back.

Cute pattern
Fun plaid - purple, navy and pink. Sounds weird together but it works. I like that the the collar sticks up without it being in a weird 80's style. Wore it with all black and again with jeans and a tee. I have yet to send it back since it's an easy item to wear especially as the temps are getting colder here so plan to wear it a few more times before returning it.

Loved it so much I bought it!
Awesome colorful lace zip up jacket. Wore it to work with a green silk top, wore it again to holiday party with a patterned red top and threw it over a white tee and jeans for a more casual look and added it here to an all black outfit. Versatile and an easy way to spice up your outfit easily and it's thin so I think you can work it into any season. The Black Friday sale offer was too good to pass up. Super cute! I definitely recommend it!!
Lace Reesa Bomber Jacket
Rino & Pelle

Fun print
I liked the style of this too, it felt long enough which is nice considering I am 5'9" and sometimes tops are too short. The only negative is the neckline, it has a little ruffle around the edge at the top but it did not stay in place. It folded in so you could only see part it. I tried to iron it forward but that did not help. I think that the fabric needs to be thicker at the neckline. It's a minor design flaw but didn't stop me from wearing it twice, and most likely would rent it again.

Gorgeous print, love it so much I bought it.
Rented it for a key west wedding and it was perfect. Love the fun print and gold details. Can dress it up or down and so comfortable. Lovely dress.

Absolutely love this!
I was worried it be too short based on some reviews but it worked out perfectly. I got a ton of compliments and felt so pretty in this dress. The colors are vibrant and the M fit my frame nicely. I've worn it 3 times; one for work (here), date night and out with friends. I am keeping it a little longer. Contemplating buying it but it's a lot more than I would normally spend so most likely I will send it back and then plan to rent it again (if available).

Love the see through sleeves
It was perfect, maybe a tad shorter then my norm but it didn't appear short on my 5'9" frame. The see through sleeves are so cool and the bell at the wrist is big but not too large to eat or drink in comfortably. The one I rented had a tiny pull in the fabric at the neck which wasn't noticeable to anyone but me so I am sending it back. Otherwise I would have purchased it had it been in perfect shape. There are 2 buttons in the back that were a little tricky doing solo but hubs was sick so managed on my own. Definitely will try this one again soon - it's a must rental!

Not heavy at all
Wore them with my rented top and love them. Big but not overly large and surprised they are not heavy at all. Feel like they would go with a lot of outfits. Dress them up or for a more casual night with jeans a tee.

Pretty white and gorgeous black embroidery details... compliments top!
Truth be told I have the size 40, and 38 at home. Sounds crazy but thinking of buying it and can't decide which size to keep especially since I have worn both. The 40 I wore for a work conference with black joggers and the 38 I wore for NYE with high-waisted skinny jeans. I received a ton of compliments both times. It's a fun with balloon like sleeves without being to big while eating or drinking. The fabric is a little textured and not too tight which I love because it covers my midsection while trying to lose my extra holiday pounds. Highly recommend if your thinking about renting.

Love love love... <3
Wore it for work, for a date, for a GNO... this is an awesome top. So versatile whether you want to dress it up or wear it to work. I want to keep it just a little pricey for me right now. DEFINITELY will be renting again soon. One of my absolute favorite rentals thus far.

Lovely color but bust way too big! :(
Gorgeous color, design and embroidery but overall just too big especially on top. I am a 32D and usually a size 10 but the top was far too big. Not sure a size 8 would fit my bottom half so may just look for something else since the wedding isn't for a few weeks.

Gorgeous red!
I loved this dress! The color was stunning and received several compliments. Wore it with black tights and flats but would be great without. It was semi tight for me in the arms but I need to workout so probably normal fit for others. Definitely will rent again!

Adorable!
Love the color and ruffles! Top is a little big so next time I would rent a medium. I'm 5'9, 32D about 165 lbs. it's such a fun dress! Had hoped to wear it for a May 5th party but it rained and turned casual.

Love the look but not on me
Unfortunately not flattering for my busy style, the Capri leg stopped at the larger part of my leg, and the high waist was cute but the crotch was wrinkly. I'm 5'9 and 10/29 bottom.

Too revealing for me
Love the fabric and color but I'm 5'9" and it was very short on me and I am a 32D bust and the v was very low and I had extra fabric. Also shoulders/arms a little tight. Unfortunately I was unable to wear this piece.
