Great formal dress but definitely very tight
I wore this dress to a wedding 6 weeks postpartum. I wanted a dress that was flattering but comfortable. I like that you could wear a normal bra. I did have to size up mainly because I recently had a baby, but also because there is very little give near the stomach and hips area. I sized up by 2-3 sizes from my pre-pregnancy size. I would recommend it overall but it is a tighter fit.

Stunning dress - perfect for bridesmaids!
What a stunning dress! I cannot get over how fabulous I felt in this dress that I rented to wear for a wedding I was standing up in. The bride selected a shortlist of different Badgley Mischka blush sequin dresses, and they all looked fabulous! I am so glad I went with this one for my body type. It's a great fit, true to size, and a good length with heels. I am 5'3" and it was the right height with heels. The only thing I would call out is that I could feel the boning in the dress that I rented. I was able to wear this comfortably with a strapless bra.

Great summer top that can be dressed up or dressed down
This is a beautiful summer top. It's light, breathable, and has such a fun pattern. I also love that it could be paired with both white and regular wash jeans and can be worn for day or night. I did end up wearing a white cami with it because it did come a bit low, but I also think if you tie the top tighter, you could probably reduce how low it sit in the front.

Perfect dress to wear for summer bridal shower
I rented this dress for my best friend's bridal shower. It was a beautiful and comfortable dress. The material is perfect for the summer because it is breathable but still not see-through. I also loved the asymmetrical look in the font. I will say that the top does go down a bit lower than I expected, so keep that in mind if you're slightly bustier. I paired with a fun clear stone and pearl necklace and nude wedges.

Rented this dress for a wedding and did not wear it
This dress is absolutely gorgeous to look at, and I really wish I could have worn it for the wedding that I ordered it for, but the cut of the top part was not what I was expecting at all. I have rented Slate & Willow dresses in the past and have fit perfectly into a size 2. The top part of the dress is the issue because it almost cut in too much near the armpits. The material and the cut of the bottom is just to die for, though! If you have a smaller bust, this dress would probably fit perfectly.

Trendy and comfortable dress for summer wedding
I really loved the color, cut, and style of this dress, and I received tons of compliments on it. The dress was true to size and can be worn with or without a bra. I also loved that I could keep the accessories simple with this dress. I would seriously consider renting this same one again!

Fantastic dress for a black tie event
I wore this dress for my husband's black tie work event. It was perfect and I received so many compliments! It was elegant, the zipper caused no issues, and it was just the right length for me with 3 inch heels. I would definitely rent this again!

Very elegant and comfortable
The best part about this dress was how comfortable it was, and the lace detail made it very elegant. I wore for one of my best friend's weddings. I ended up wearing it without a bra due to the cleavage situation (I'm a 32D) since the neckline still felt a bit lower than I would have normally worn. I'm 5'3" and I couldn't wear very high heels with it, so keep that in mind if you want to wear higher heels. Overall, a very pretty dress that I would consider renting again.

Awesome and unique dress in a flattering color
A great dress that I plan to re-rent for later this summer. My friend ended up wearing this one, and it looked fabulous on her. When I tried it on, I also felt very comfortable. It looks very flattering on different skin colors and body types. I also like that it can be dressed up or dressed down!

Rented but never wore because it ran so large
I saw many reviews that said to size down for this dress, but even when I did that, I found myself swimming in this dress, even though I rented an XS. I wanted to wear during a girls tip, but it ended up being way too loose and long, especially for an XS. I love the quality of this dress, and I wish I could have actually used it.

Awesome color and great fit
Loved this romper! I wore this during a girls trip to Vegas, and I most loved how it could be dressed up or dressed down, though I opted to wear mine in the evening for a casual dinner and walk around the Vegas strip. I paired with brown suede strappy heels but many shoe options worked well with it!

Great dress for work event
I ended up renting this for a networking event and received many compliments. The neckline plunges lower than I prefer for a work-type occasion so I opted to wear a black cami underneath. I did find it to be very comfortable overall. I liked the button details on the sleeves -- it added a really nice touch.

Fun crop top with a cute collar detail
I wore this top for a concert, and I loved that I could pair with many different bottoms. I ended up pairing it with white jeans and gold sandals. It is a crop top, and it's made out of a lace type materials, so it is a bit see through, but overall, I did not think it was very obvious. It was still a very cute and classy top overall, and I just loved the collar detail.

Great color, fit, and style
Overall a fantastic top! I would recommend this for a date night or night out on the town. I wore this for a girls night and paired with black ponte knit leggings and black booties, but it would also look great with black strappy heels. I also loved the detail the bell sleeves on this kimono top! It's a very well made top overall. I saw a few reviews that the there was a lot of fabric with the part that you tie, but I thought it was fine.

Very stylish with pretty colors that can be worn with a lot of bottoms
I wore this top with olive green moto jeggings. I tried this on with skinny white jeans and dark wash jeans and it looked good with everything. The one thing I would call out is that it is a very thin material, so it's best to wear a nude colored bra underneath. Other than that, it was a great top to wear out on a spring evening.

Cute top to wear to a party
Very pretty top that I wore for a birthday party -- I wore it with black leggings and black booties, and it looked very cute. I loved how this top looked when worn off the shoulder, but it rarely stayed put. It's made of a thicker material, so I felt as if I were constantly tugging at it to stay off the shoulder.

This shirt is very cute, but I ended up finding the ties a bit harder to deal with than was pictured. I ended up layering this under a while sweater and khakis, and it looked really nice. I tried re-tying the the ties multiple times, but they didn't seem to look as good on me.

Comfortable, fun pants!
Loved these pants. I wore them for my nephew's birthday party, and they were very comfortable to move around in. Because it was a kid's birthday party, I tried to dress it down a bit, but these pants can definitely be dressed up! I paired this with a chambray button down and gold sandals. I would definitely rent these again and dress them up next time!

Great top for work
I rented this top to wear to a big meeting at work. It was the right mix of professional and feminine. The material is sheer, so you would need to wear a cami underneath, especially for work. It was slightly tight by the bust, but the overall fit was great. I paired this with slacks and simple necklace, and it was a very classy outfit. I would rent this again.

Cute color and style, but tight in the arms.
I rented this to wear for Valentine's Day. It is very high quality, but I felt the sweater was very tight in the arms. I read this in a review, but I wanted to try it anyway. Overall, it was a great sweater, and I am happy I rented it. It fit well in the body, so I'm not sure if I would go one size up. I think it is a matter of personal preference.

Beautiful coat but very large even for the size that I normally wear.
This coat is beautiful, but I was swimming in it. I am between an XS and a S, and I rented this in an S. I would recommend going a size down. I love the detail of the light pink stripe. Overall, the coat was warm and pretty, and I would definitely rent this again in a smaller size.

Great daytime or evening dress
I wore this dress on vacation and chose to wear this for New Years Eve. I thought the fit was great, and the dress materials is stretchier. I am 5'3" and thought it was an appropriate length, but it could look shorter if you were taller. I wore a turquoise beaded statement necklace and gold flat sandals.
