This Coat is Why I don't buy luxury clothing items
This is a polyester coat and I cannot believe it retails for so much money. I only had a couple days to do a swap so I just sorted by the highest retail value and picked out this coat. It is so low quality! It feels like a $25 coat I would buy from old navy. It was not particularly warm, I saw all the comments on that, I feel like it's good for like mid-50s temperatures.

Cute leather top!
I didn’t end up wearing it because I couldn’t find something to wear it with. I think runs a tad small I usually wear a large and the extra large fit great maybe a little large.

Obsessed! So fun, flattering, long, but a little sexy in neckline
Love this dress! Feels heavy and well made. Wore to brunch, tea, and a daytime work conference. It’s very cute and I got so many compliments. It’s such a pretty sea foam green color.

Stand Out Dress x Legally Blond x Pink Highlighter
I wore this to a conference which was a great way to stand out and get noticed. It is BRIGHT pink like highlighter vibes. Not for a wallflower. The slit def a bit too high for a work event but I went with it. Thought it was super flattering. 170lbs 5’8” size 12. Fit well was not too tight but def fitted.

Cute Top!
Was a cute set! I never wore it without the skirt but I think it would look good with jeans. With anything high waisted it didn't show too much skin.

Cute and perfect for vacation!
Really cute and perfect for vacation...like the title says. Is a really heavy crochet fabric which makes it feel expensive but is still very lightweight for the beach. The low, sexy back is so nice!

So cute, a super fun slip dress
I wore the XL and it fit nicely. I have a smaller chest so it fit fine there. It is just fun and colorful. I wore with a jean jacket usually. I wore it several times after renting it. Super versatile, I wore it to date night, birthday party, beach, and vacation.

Nice fabric, very tight, snug fit, sexy with a slit in the back
It was too small for me so I didn't wear it out, I thought it was high quality and really cute though and there weren't any reviews so I am reviewing it even though I didn't wear. It is VERY snug though and showed off my belly so I didn't like it for me, but maybe if I had the XL it would have been better.

Vest fit a bit awkwardly for me but nice fabric and could be fun for someone more adventurous
Wasn't for me, it just fit a bit weird. I couldn't figure out how to style it without looking like a waiter or a movie theater worker so just went with it on its own. But it was really hard to wear on it's own like it didn't fit well on it's own, showed my bra. And i was always like pulling it up or down.

Blair Waldorf / Very Preppy but nice
I'm usually a L borderline XL, and the XL was definitely the right size for me was almost even snug so I would say it runs slightly small. It is very Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf. I wore on virtual calls and one of my coworkers immediately was like WHOA all you need is a headband and your Blair Waldorf. Was nice heavy material and easy to button up with buttons that actually snap instead of a traditional button. It personally just wasn't my style, but if this is your style or if you have a real preppy style I think you would like it. I don't have a picture of how I actually styled it just a quick picture from my try on so apologies, but you can at least see a bit of the fit even tho I'm not wearing clothes that would go with it.

The skirt was fine but I was intending to wear as a matching set and I just looked a little dowdy and frumpy in it.

Gorgeous silk dress!
Wore for Mother’s Day and church a great dress that had some shape and a little opening in the back but modest and a long length. I cinched it with a belt which really helped it be a lot more flattering. It’s so gorgeous I def am considering buying. Runs true to size or a little bit big. I’m usually a size 14 but ordered fhe size 12 since that is the largest size they carry and it fit well.

It's OK but too short!
Didn't end up wearing because it was way too short (couldn't even slightly bend over). I was going to wear with tights but ended up not wearing. It's OK though it's not bad at all. But the fit isn't like super flattering nor unflattering, fabric has a bit of stretch.

Wonderful dress, fun & a lot of personality, great cut
Loved LOVED this dress. Will consider purchasing. So fun, great cut, good length. Could wear to work or church or dinner or brunch. Was very flattering I'm generally between a L/XL and XL fit great though I think L would probably have fit too it is a forgiving dress.

Almost a teacher dress with a bit of chest showing!
I thought of this dress as a teacher dress, but it was a little low cut so not quite. I liked it, not a lot of shape and like kind of conservative but not because of the low cut.

Super Cut Cut and Fun Dress - A little Short and wish it could be cinched a bit more in the waist
I really liked this dress but knocked off a star for two reasons, one it was too short. Could not bend over with it. I paired it with tights or else I would not have been able to wear it. I also wish I could have made the waistband a bit more tighter to cinch the waistband a bit more, but it was nice.

Lovely Statement Winter Coat - Got So Many Compliments
Loved, loved this coat. I rented for when I was visiting a colder environment for a work trip. I got so many compliments and it looks good with everything. I did size down 1 or 2 sizes, it's quite oversized and I don't like too oversized.

Gorgeous dress - got compliments from strangers all night!
tl, dr; backup size go up and go long if you are above average height OK so the fit is tough on this one. I wanted to follow the reviews and get the L but I realllllly hate wearing big hells (I generally only wear 2-3" ones) so I got the 8L and the 10R. I should have got the 12L. The 10R BARELY fit, I don't blame the dress I'm between a 10 and 12 now generally but tend to wear 10s so I just was way too optimistic and went the wrong way for my backup size. Also, once we got it zipped, it looked great! Super fitted! But I knew I wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom or risk not being able to zip it again (literally how i got it zipped was laying flat on the bed and having my boyfriend zip it up---took about 5 minutes but we got it there). And then the length...I've 5'7" pretty evenly proportioned (don't have long legs or a long torso) but it was way too short. without shoes it didn't even come to the floor. I tried maybe wearing flats but then you could still see the shoes and it did not look good. So i ended up wearing like 3" heels and they def showed (as you can see from the photos) but not in a good way--i meant to have them peek out. But the dress really is as gorgeous as it looks! I literally got compliments all night from perfect strangers, men, and the staff working the event. It really WOWs. I wore it for a Roaring Twenties themed party and was so easy to accessorize with a head piece, pearls, and gloves and fit the part perfectly. Anyway, I highly recommend this dress but go a size up and if you are above average height get the Long!! Still giving this dress 5 Stars, even though my rental was more like a 3 or 4 star, but if I picked the CORRECT size would have worked out much better for me.

Nice earrings--nothing special, but good sparkle!
These earrings are exactly how they look in the picture. They are pretty, but didn't wow me (the picture didn't wow me either). Great option though for only $5.

Very nice sparkle but not quite as pretty as the pictures
These bangles were totally fine---not bad but didn't wow me. When I opened them up I didn't think they looked as pretty as the main photos, as they were a bit dull. However, they photographed beautifully and still brought a nice sparkle to my dress. There is also a very good amount of them, I ended up wearing 5 or of the 8 or 9. Size was totally fine, I have kind of big hands/wrists and they fit me.

Center of attention in this hot red dress!
This was a great dress! I love, loved the color. It was also a great balance of sexy and classy. I would even wear to a (non-conservative) work event. Like everyone says, the straps kind of fall down, but really only if the dress is too big. I wore the size 10 one night and had to tape them down. I wore the size 6 the other night (size 8 was out of stock) and the straps stayed put perfectly. Even though it's pretty tight, I found it flattering. Though I definitely wore Spanx. The length of the dress was so nice, it's subtly sexy at the top and then just the right length so you really don't have to worry about anything popping out.

Sparkly, fun, and good length--but didn't fit great and wasn't the most flattering
This was my first rent the runway dress, and it didn't wow me (I've been wow'd several times after). The fit just isn't the most flattering. It was hard to make sure your bra wasn't showing, and it was in general just a little bit big in the bust for me. But I loved the sparkles and still got a ton of compliments on the dress all night.

Got the most facebook likes!
I got the 8L because of the suggestions in the reviews, but it was too long! I am 5'7 1/2" and I wore shortish heels probably 3 inches but the gown dragged a bit on the floor and my boyfriend kept stepping on it ALL night. So I would have ordered the 8R or at least got that as a backup size next time. But this dress is stunning! The slit is perfect, just a little bit of sexy. I seriously got compliments all night on this dress. It does cling to your curves (as others have noted) and I didn't even wear with SPANX because of the high slit, but since it was black and has this extra draping the cling was just fine. I would highly recommend this dress!

Got constant compliments all night--great cocktail dress!
The bust was too large in the size 8 and the size 6 fit my bust way better but was tighter everyone above the waist. However, I loved the tightness because it really zipped me in and made me feel really skinny. Also having a smaller bust, it was the perfect amount of cleavage and just the right amount of sexy. I also loved that it hit right above the knee so you didn't have to worry when bending over or dancing that anything would show. One thing I didn't realize from the picture is that the zipper in the back goes all the way from the top of the dress to the bottom. Overall, loved this dress! Would buy it!
