Nice, light cotton, but very thin fabric
This was a nice shirt to look put together while working from home on warm days, but probably a bit too see-through for an office environment. But it's a nice twist on a classic!

Beautifully constructed
This fit true to size, but I found the wool to be a bit itchy around the collar. Probably would be fine with a turtleneck, but not great for the sensitive skin folks. However, the quality was great.

Beautiful but poor quality.
I loved the look of this necklace, but it left gray marks on my neck each time I wore it. Would not rent again.

Great shape, restricted movement
As others wrote, the way the sleeves are made restricts arm movement, so this dress has limited practicality. That said, I LOVED the shape and style of the dress. The cut was flattering, and the 100% cotton fabric was breathable and comfortable on a warm evening.

Nice quality and fit
Wore these during a recent trip to France and they were comfortable for all the walking. A nice casual option.

Amazing color
The large was a little big on me, as I expected, but it was perfect for a low key outdoor concert as the weather has been getting cooler. I paired it with a light button down shirt as a "jacket" and tennis shoes and it was great. Could easily pair with heels and cute accessories to dress it up as well. Very comfy.

Fun and breezy
I thought this fit well and was a flattering shape. I wore it for a party and it fit the theme perfectly. Fit true to size. Didn't feel too short on me. The only weird thing was the tie around the waist but I got used to it.

Comfy and flattering
I LOVED these. Stretchy and comfy enough to wear on an overnight flight yet polished enough to not feel like a gremlin while roaming around Vienna until I could check into my hotel.

Elegant and comfy
I loved how these fit. I felt completely comfortable and professional at the same time. I rented these for a conference but have actually worn them several time since because they’re so effortless and elegant. BUT for anyone taller than 5’7” these will probably be too short. I’m 5’6” and the were great, but I would not have wanted them any shorter.

Pops of color to combat winter blues
I loved loved loved this coat. I held onto it for basically the whole winter and got compliments every time I wore it. It's meant to be an oversized look, but as others suggested, I still recommend going a size down. This coat was also warmer than I expected and the oversized fit also meant on days where temps dropped below freezing I could just pop an ultra light down jacket underneath and not feel like an overstuffed teddy bear.

New favorite winter sweater
I'm obsessed with this sweater. It's warm, but not itchy. The fabric is delightfully thick and cozy for cold days. The color blocking is fabulous. I wish it weren't so expensive to buy, otherwise I totally would purchase it!

Warm and cozy
This coat is luxuriously thick and heavy, making it virtually windproof on a blustery winter day. I'm normally a medium, but ordered a large, per the app recommendation. The large fit in my shoulders, but was bulky everywhere else. I know it's meant to be oversized but it just wasn't that flattering on me. I also thought the color was going to be a little more amber, but it looks more like a standard warm camel color in person. Still, it's a stylish way to stay warm in the winter!

Loved but didn't get to wear
This was SO pretty! So flattering on my hourglass figure. A bit revealing in the bust but I'm getting more comfortable with my body and mind that less. Would probably not be able to wear a bra with this. I just didn't have anywhere to wear this and the satiny fabric is just not right for a DC summer. I plan to rent it again, though!

Park ranger vibes (could be good or bad depending on your desired look)
I wanted to like these. I'm always looking for shorts that are just long enough that I don't have to worry about thigh chafe but not so long that they look frumpy. These were slightly on the grumpier side for me. I wore them a few times for working from home, but definitely didn't leave the house with them on. The belt made it easier to cinch them in at the waist, but I did not find them flattering on my booty.

Simple. Elegant. Surprisingly versatile.
I LOVED this jumpsuit. I forgot to get a photo, but I don't think the photos would do it justice. It looks kind of plain initially, but it is such a flattering cut that is easily dressed up or down. And even with the little cutout in the back you can still wear a bra, which was great. Will definitely rent again and/or buy! Fit true to size and is flexible if you're a bit between sizes.

So unique and fun
This felt so artsy and glamorous. I rented this on a whim to wear around the house because COVID, and loved how it hugged my curves without cutting them off. The zipper on this was a bit weird, though, in that it didn't lay flat against the rest of the dress; it stuck out and kind of made me look like I had a tail. I was surprised that a dress this expensive would have a structural issue like that. But also no one on my zoom calls saw that part of the dress so I didn't care.

Super cute but weird length from crotch to waist
I loved the silky feel and pattern of these shorts. The inseam is a really flattering length: short enough to feel cute and kinda sexy but also long enough to be practical and not ride up when you're walking. However, they were not the right length for my torso. I don't think I have a particularly long torso, but for some reason these shorts were not forgiving in that area and made me feel like I constantly had a wedgie.

A way to inject some FUN into your wardrobe
I rented this matching too and bottom set on a whim. Even though I am mostly staying at home these days, this set still made me feel happy. The top is a crop, but paired with the high-waisted pants feels fairly modest. I'd say the top runs a little big. It does also have a deep V, so only works with a certain type of bra (or no bra also works).

I loved the color of this, but this top runs suuuuuper large. I understood that it was meant to be a bit loose but this was much bigger than expected.

Flattering cut, slippery fabric
I loved the cut of this dress. However because the fabric is so silky the tie at the side doesn't feel very secure. There are, of course, fixes for that, but just wanted to put that out there!

Gorgeous color but too big for me
I loved the shape and pattern of this dress, but it was just too big for me. Ended up not wearing it because it would have needed some major adjustments

Breezy and comfortable
This was a fun jumpsuit for a trip to a very hot Austin in the summer, as well as for a street festival I went to a couple weeks later. The fabric was light and breezy, fit true to size, and the top portion of the jumpsuit was adjustable so it stayed put really well.

Classy and fabulous
LOVED this dress. I wore it for a work conference when I knew I'd have to be up on stage and in front of the camera at various points. It was totally work appropriate but the print kept it fun. There are ties on the sides of the dress that allow you to adjust the waist according to your body type, which I thought was brilliant. It hit me just at the knees - I'm 5'6". It's also great for transition seasons because it's long-sleeved but a pretty light fabric.

Fun and Fabulous
This was such a fun faux fur coat. It was actually great on a pretty cold day in DC and on a day that was a little milder - seemed to adjust based on body heat! I got so many compliments on this, including from the cinema staff when I just wore this out to the movies. When fully closed it was a bit tight across the chest for me, so that was the only fit issue.

Great color in a classic style
I thought this dress was great. Fit true to size. Wore it a few times for work, and it worked great for after-work drinks on a date. I felt pretty and classy in this dress and would definitely recommend it if you want something that transitions well from day to night!

Great for work and play!
I wore this to work and then to a concert after work and it worked great in both settings (I wore it with a blazer at work and then swapped out my shoes and ditched the blazer after work). The fabric is stretchy enough to be comfortable but not so stretchy it doesn't hold its shape. Loved it!

This was a great cozy piece perfect for more transitional weather. I was able to layer it well. It only gets 4 stars because the pockets were actually quite bulky.

Overall I loved this shirt. The details on the sleeves are really fun. It was a little shorter and boxier than I expected, but worked well tucked in to skirts and pants.

Comfy, Cozy. Chic
These pants look and felt great. The fabric was a nice, light wool blend, so great for colder months. They also had a little more give than what I was expecting, which was nice, since I usually walk or bike to work.

Beautiful, comfortable, chic.
This silk top is beautifully made. I love the pattern and the feel od the fabric. The cut is meant to be roomy (and in hindsight not the best with the skirt I have on in this photo), but i still had problems with it gapping across the bust. It looked great with slim trousers, but the gapping was worse tucked into a skirt.

Awkward cut and sizing
Like most of the other reviewers, I found this dress to be too short, too small, and just awkwardly cut. This might just be a classic case of European sizing, where a medium is actually a US small. Recommend sizing up, but even then, if you have any curves at all, there's a high chance this won't look good. I ended up exchanging this for a completely different dress because I didn't think a bigger size would fix the problem of the cut, shape, and bulky pockets.

Gorgeous and surprisingly comfortable
I wore this for a fancy work holiday party and felt like royalty the whole night. I'm currently between a size 6 and 8, and went with the size 8 so I'd have room to dance. I felt glamorous ans comfortable at the same time. Loved this dress and highly recommend it!

Great dress for a spring wedding
This dress made me feel so glamorous, and people complimented me on the dress the whole night. The waist fit snugly, as other reviewers suggested, but it wasn't uncomfortable and didn't cut in - it just made me feel secure. The fabric is thick enough to go braless and dance without worrying about anything. Loved this dress and would definitely rent it again.

Great NYE Dress
This was a great, fun party dress for New Years Eve. I got compliments all night. The dress fit well, and was even a bit roomy. Only cons were that the zipper kept getting stuck on the fabric, and the sequins cut into my arms a bit when I was dancing.
