Great for summer - soft and flow-y
Really comfortable dress. I think it is intended to fit loose - which makes it great for summer in Texas. The ties help give the dress some shape so that it's not just a long straight tunic. It wrinkles easily.

Cute print but not much room in the hips
Super cute print! The fabric is breezy and great for spring/summer in hot climates. I found there to be a lot of room in the chest - I'm a 32D and there was absolutely not gaping. But not very much room in the hips - mine are pretty nonexistent and even I'd prefer a bit more room. If you have hips, I'd size up to make sure the buttons don't gap... especially when sitting down.

Sleek silk top, goes with everything
I really like this top - it is polished and very versatile. I have a short torso so it was a little long so I wore it french tucked in the front. It was also pretty low cut on me. I think if you have a slimmer chest the overlapping neckline would make it look more professional but I needed a small piece of dress tape to make sure it was okay for work. All in all, I'd rent it again.

Cute, but fabric is uncomfortable
The print is cute, but the fabric is much bulkier than it looks in the photos. The plus I guess is that since the fabric is thick, it does not wrinkle easily. I rented the 32 and if I were to rent again I'd size up because the arms are snug and the fabric is a little itchy.

Super cozy sweater that is warmer than it looks
I love this sweater. It is super cozy and actually quite warm because it is a cashmere blend. I have taken it as a standalone jacket (or maybe with just a scarf) on some pretty chilly days and been quite comfortable. I have considered buying it but the one downside is that it seems to pill quite a bit. The pills come off easily but new ones form easily as well.

Flattering cute, rich color
I rented this dress for a wedding and absolutely loved it. The color is rich and warm. The dress is very fitted but also very stretchy so I feel like it would flatter a lot of body types. The length was just right on me, hitting just above the knee so the flutter fell nicely. I have a short torso so there was a little gap at the neck/shoulder but not too noticeable. The material is easily caught on jewelry clasps so something to keep in mind as you plan accessories.

Runs big
Pretty color, but the dress was too big (especially the sleeves which were really fun but way too long). I ended up not wearing it but may try to rent again one size smaller.

Rich, pretty color - shapeless
Really pretty color and fabric. The print stands out more in person. Aside from the sleeves and cuffs is intended to be pretty shapeless so if that's not your thing, or you have small bust/easily feel like you're swimming in tops, keep that in mind. It fall nicely, but the buttons are coated plastic which makes it look less put together. Wore with dark jeans for Thanksgiving.

Lovely rich color, adjustable straps!
This dress was perfect for an outdoor fall wedding. The color is really beautiful, and it drapes nicely - it also de-wrinkled after being packed in my bag over night without ironing. The straps are adjustable which is great if you have a shorter torso/fuller bust. The neckline is a bit low, but tightening the straps made me feel more comfortable and secure in the dress. The only downside is that the seam in the back of the dress seemed to be a little crooked (even after making sure the straps were adjusted to the same position). It wasn't a big enough deal and I doubt anyone else noticed it. UPDATE: I rented this for a 2nd wedding almost a year later. Still a great fit, lots of compliments, easy to dance in. The seam still feels a little crooked but not I'm certain no one else noticed. I'm going to purchase it this time since it's a great go-to for these events.

Fabric was too structured and dress was too long for me
I'm 5'5" and felt the dress would have been really cute if it was a little less structured (fabric was sort if stiff) and if it were a little shorter. In the model the lace starts above her knee but on me the lace started well below my knee and ended close to my ankles.

Pretty but not a flattering material
The color is really rich and beautiful but the material is much thicker than I imagined. It was not very flattering on me... it looked boxy and didn't have any movement.

Cute and light weight
Earrings were more light weight than I expected which was a plus. I wanted to try our ear climbers before buying some but found that these needed to be constantly repositioned. They were cute, but I would probably not rent them again.

Runs small, but seems warm
I rented the P (Small was out of stock) after reading reviews from other that said the P was perfect for them. It was too small for me. I could have worn it but it would not have been very comfortable and would be really hard to layer with long sleeves. I'll rent again in Small when it is back in stock - it seems warm and the leather is super soft and cozy.

Luxurious fabric with fun pops of color
I wore this top with layers for Christmas Eve dinner in Connecticut as well as for a birthday party in Texas (both in the winter). The top is light but warm with really fun pops of color that are not overwhelming. Paired it with a bright mauve lip. The top is meant to be loose so the small was true to size - flowy but I was not swimming in it. If you have a shorter torso (like me) the coller strings can be used to make the neckline a little more modest, though I did not think the V was too low for where I was wearing it to.

Unique statement earrings!
I rented these earrings to wear with a teal dress to a wedding. They were a perfect compliment to the color of the dress. Although they are quite large I didn't notice them pulling on my ears (which I'm usually pretty sensitive to). So I'm keeping them through the Unlimited program for a bit longer as I'd like to wear them on a few other occasions this month.

Very pretty color, comfortable.
This dress runs really large. I rented a size 2 because my usual size 4 was not available. I was worried the 2 might be a little too snug, but actually it was still very loose. Because of the style of the dress, it looked okay but I would definitely recommend sizing down as the size 0 probably would have been ideal for me. Especially if you have smaller hips & bust - otherwise you may feel like you're swimming in your typical size. The color is absolutely beautiful (richer than it looks in the pictures) and the cape design was unique and fun! I received lots of compliments.

Beautiful color and comfortable fit. Lots of compliments!
I wore this dress in a size 6 because it was not available in my typical size 4. The 6 ended up fitting well so I think the size 4 would have been too snug to look as nice. That said, I have a larger chest so I often have to pick something that fits my chest and is loose on the waist OR one that fits my waist and is too tight on the chest. Other than the need to size up, the dress is a beautiful, rich color with really lovely fabric that falls nicely. It was very flattering on me and I would absolutely rent it again.
