Great layering piece
I wore this with a graphic tee layered over the top and with cargo pants and I loved the layered look. The polka dots are a lovely subtle olive green so it was a nice styling touch.

Wedding Ready
I rented this for a wedding and it was an easy, elegant pick. However the fit was a slightly wonky for me as a curvy woman; the shoulders were too loose and in constant threat of falling down but it was tight across the bust and waist. I also really struggled to zip this up, which was less about the fit and more about the difficulty of a tiny zipper with layers of material. But once it was on it was comfy and easy to dance in.

Modern Classic
This vest gave a vintage or dark-academia feel to my work wardrobe. It paired great with jeans but I preferred to style it without buttoning over the hips, otherwise it would have been too tight!

The fit on this dress was so lovely. It cinched in the waist without being too tight and it had the blouse feel to the top so it was super comfortable. The details on Farm Rio clothes are always fantastic too.

Easy Like Sunday Morning
I wore this to brunch and loved how airy the dress felt given its heavier linen skirt. The shoulders were a bit big and kept slipping down, but I wore a tank top underneath anyway because of the open weave of the top. Still cute and perfect for an easy weekend.

I wore this to work and liked how easy and sophisticated it felt, but it did gap between buttons when I sat which seemed related to the fabric texture. I would recommend wearing a tank top or a slip underneath just in case.

Epic Sleeves
I rented this dress for our engagement photo shoot and it was so perfect for photos. The sleeves had such great drape and the fabric has a subtle shimmer that caught the light perfectly in photos. The thigh slits do go all the way up though so be careful what you wear underneath.

Cute and Casual
I wore this to a daytime work event and felt cute and comfortable. I like the belt details around the waist and felt like there was good room in the bust as a curvy woman. I do think the shoulders gap a bit because of the way it's cut but that wasn't a huge issue.

I love the pattern but I always find that DVF runs small. If you don't want the top to keep riding up or for that to not be an issue, I would recommend wearing a high-waisted bottom

I rented this to wear for work but easily transitioned it to a nice dinner out. The material is super lightweight so it felt good all day. The overall fit was a little loose in the size 12 but I ended up loving that for all-day comfort.

This dress was light and airy and perfect for summer. While it fit well across the chest, it was a bit tricky to find a bra I could wear with it because of the cut along the sides.

Clasps Don't Close
I could not get these clasps to close securely at all; they're supposed to just lock into place for a huggee style fit but they do not stay closed. Which is a shame because these earrings are kitschy and cute. I was getting ready for work and they fell out of my ears multiple times while I was doing minor things. The risk of losing them was just too high so I ended up taking them out and not wearing them at all.

The Perfect Slightly Oversized Blazer
The comfort and versatility of this blazer are unmatched. I'm petite so the oversized trend always feels like a bit of a trap for me, but this blazer is proportioned well so that it's on trend but I don't look like a kid playing in their parent's closet. The sleeve length is just right, it doesn't droop in the shoulders; it's kind of magical.

Both too small and too large
I rented a L because I have a large bust and know most things need to pivot the fit around that, so for my fellow busty folks I do not recommend this top. It created a cute silhouette with the puffy sleeves, but it gaped in the shoulder/collarbone areas so badly that I felt like I was constantly pulling up those sleeves. Then the waist felt too short in length so the proportions felt too small. Super frustrating to wear on my figure, but at the same time I got a ton of compliments when I wore it so I guess it all comes down to your comfort level.

Adorable but short
This dress is super flowy and the elastic helps the fit at the waist feel just right, so I probably could have gone with a medium. But the length ended up being shorter than I expected and I am 5 ft 2. Cute and romantic vibe to this dress that would be perfect for a day at the beach. And while it's not sheer, try to avoid wearing bold colors or patterns underneath because it will show through.

Just Right in the waist; too big in the shoulders
The fit on this one is a little wonky. I sized up based on other customer reviews and am glad I did. The tie waist made the fit there perfect for me as a size 10/12, but it did gape in the arm holes and felt oversized in the legs. The buttons across the bust also kept popping open, so I'd recommend throwing a tank on underneath if that's something you have happen to you on a regular basis. I still had a good time renting this and felt cute with my final outfit, but it just had a bit of an odd fit.

Flattering & Flowy
I love how this dress fit my body. The elastic around the bust and natural waist gave such a cinched in look without feeling too tight. I do have a bigger bust, so wearing a bra that I felt comfortable with was a bit of a style challenge, but I just threw a light cardigan or jacket over it to cover my bra straps and it worked out great.

Jumper & Chill
I wore this thing so many times because it was easy to throw on and so freaking comfy. I will say it was a little loose in the shoulders and even with a bigger bust, the shoulders dropped pretty easily so watch out for that. But I wore this to work with a button-down tied over it (I work in tech and that about sums up our take on business casual), but I also wore it on a trip to the mountains when we were hanging out casually in the cabin.

Peachy Plaid
This is one of my favorite rentals of late. It fits beautifully and has a comfortable elastic waist. This skirt is so light. Looking at it, I thought it would be heavier material, but it's so light and comfy to wear. It's a little on the sheer side but not transparent—just avoid darker or heavily patterned underwear and you'll be fine. If it were a little less expensive I would have kept it.

Versatile Vintage Vibes
This shirt is so soft and I've worn it so many different ways, but I uploaded my favorite outfit for this review. It's a big, baggy cut shirt, so I think I could have easily sized down to a small. But the medium was still a fun slouchy shirt to wear with jeans, leggings, or a full tulle skirt.

Cute, form-fitting sweater. If you're busty, definitely go with your larger preferred size because it's a piece intended to be tight. Styled it with high-waisted jeans so I wouldn't have to worry about tugging down the hem.

I felt so good in this sweater. Even though I’m a bit busty, the proportions on the small size were perfect and I didn’t feel bulky. The color is vibrant and adds a much needed pop to my winter wear.

Sexy Sequins
I rented this dress for my birthday and felt fabulous in it! The length was perfect—just under the knee and the color was beautiful. My only real gripe is that I spent the evening keeping an eye on my neckline. Even with the adjustable straps, the front would droop and I would have to yank the cups up. So be a little careful, but otherwise have fun!

Pretty in Peanuts
I'm such a big Peanuts fan, so when I saw this sweater I was so excited! It runs large and is clearly intended to be a slouchy fit, so I was able to get a small size and still have it feel appropriately roomy. My favorite styling for this sweater was with printed leggings to balance out my proportions; this combo was perfect for the winter "chill" of LA.

Cute Peplum, Couldn't Button
Reading other reviews, I sized up. I'm normally a 6 or an 8 to accommodate my bust, but this blazer at size ten still would not stay buttoned. Even so, it's a cute blazer and will elevate your look for work or for going out.

Standout Coat
I rented this coat for a business trip to a colder climate and got so many compliments while I was wearing it. The style is open front (no buttons) and is intended to look a little oversized, so I often wore it as an accent to whatever I was wearing for the day. Loved the deep pockets and the bold color too. Highly recommend.

Fab Plaid
This dress screams fall to me; also a little bit of chic Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, but who am I kidding, that kind of movie reference is my preferred aesthetic. Fit-wise, it's shorter than I anticipated, but can easily be kept work appropriate. Depending on the angle, the thick wool can be figure-flattering (yay darts) or kind of bulky. I also appreciated how the sleeves fit long but could be pushed up easily for a different silhouette. Overall, a fun rental.

Low-Key Western Vibes
I loved this skirt. If it was a touch less expensive, I would buy it. Both times I wore it, I leaned into the Western aesthetic, but you could definitely style it in different ways. I'm about 5'2" and this skirt hit about mid-calf, and fit well around my natural waist. Loved the fit and how I felt in it!

This was such a fun skirt to wear. A little tight when I initially put it on, but I felt comfortable all night. I usually go for a size 6 but rented an 8 because of the material--so glad I did since there wasn't much give at the waistband. So try sizing up with this piece, but it's going to be worth it!

Such a cute sundress! The medium fit like a glove around the waist and bust, but then flared gently out from the natural waist. Because of the cutout in the center, I couldn't justify wearing a bra, but the dress felt like it supported me fine. Would recommend for a date or a wedding!

Sequin Stripes
I styled this sequined striped top with dark wash blue jeans and cream-and-black ballet flats. Loved the look but I was a little uncomfortable. Because of the material, there is no stretch to this top. Getting it on and off was difficult, and it was tight through the shoulders. Depending on the demands of your event, you might want to size up. For my bar night out, it was fine but I didn't want to go through the workout of putting it on for another occasion.

Warning: this material has little to no stretch. I struggled to zip this the last half-an-inch even though it fits really well across the bust and shoulders. If you're busty, I'd recommend either sizing up or wearing one of your more restricting bras. Still, I thought this dress was adorable. The rainbow colored buttons were a subtle touch, and I styled the dress with a yellow cardigan for work. Plus, it has pockets!
