I love this flattering pencil skirt by City Chic! Running true to size with lots of stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and fitted at the hips, however the stretchy fabric leaves plenty of room in the hip area for those with fuller hips. At 5’6”, the length hit just at the knees for me. I love how the skirt makes this piece deviate from the typical pencil skirt silhouette and makes it unique! Pair with a white blouse, statement necklace and black heels for a chic office look.

I love this casual daytime dress by City Chic! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going one size up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection, however has comfortable room at the hips. It works for all cup sizes and works best with a strapless bra. At 5’6”, the length hit just around the knees for me and I loved the fun ruffles at the end of the skirt. I love how versatile this piece is and how I could dress it up with a leather jacket and some black pumps for a night out, or pair with nude heels and minimal jewelry for a nice daytime look.

I love this fun dress by Slate and Willow! Running small for curvier figures, I definitely recommend sizing up as this style is very tightly and closely fitted throughout. Fitted at the bust, this is best for women who are A-C cup. You are not able to wear a standard bra with this dress so you should wear nubra or no bra since there is a lace opening in the back. At 5’6”, the length hit mid-thigh on me; I loved the high-low skirt and how loose the fabric in the skirt was. The flower pattern on this dress looks lovely in person. Pair with black heels and silver earrings for a perfect date night or formal look!

I love this stylish dress by Adrianna Papell! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted at the waist and hips and I would recommend sizing up for fuller hips. This style works for all cup sizes, and you should wear nubra or no bra since there is an open back. At 5’6”, the length hit just at the knees for me. I adored the color and the open shoulder look and received so many compliments all night! Pair with nude heels and gold jewelry for the perfect look.

Loved the top of this fun maxi by ELLIATT! This dress is the perfect mix of casual and professional and I loved how light the fabric is. The bottom of this dress runs small and the slip is very short, so I would recommend sizing up if you are curvier and wearing your own slip if possible. There is comfortable room at the bust for all cup sizes and I loved how original the intricate overlay of the fabric was. The feminine details and print make this a favorite for anyone's closet!

Absolutely loved this stunning tea length dress from City Chic! This beautiful dress is perfect for any weddings you may attend this summer. Running true to size, this dress has comfortable room at the hips and bust despite the fact that it is fitted. I was surprised at how comfortable and flattering this was, as I tend to stay away from styles that are straight in the hips. I paired this with beige heels and gold jewelry and felt like a million bucks all night!

In love with this stunning jumpsuit by Jay Godfrey! This comfortable, colorful piece will make you stand out at any event you may be attending. This style runs a bit large and I would recommend sizing down for backup. The comfortable, stretchy fabric allows comfortable room for full hips and larger busts and is beyond flattering. I love that you can wear this with any standard bra - always a plus when you're looking to rent jumpsuits for special occasions! Pair with black heels and gold jewelry for the perfect look.

I absolutely adore this striped tunic by Tome and never want to return it! This style runs large, however I absolutely loved the oversized look and how light and breezy I felt wearing this all day! I'm 5'6" and found that this style hit below the knee for me, and the armholes are a bit large so you may have to wear a cami underneath to avoid showing your bra. I recommend pairing with white or light blue jeans, chunky sandals, and minimal jewelry for the perfect look. You can dress this up for a night out with friends by adding a leather jacket, and you'll be all set to impress!

Totally in love with this blue plaid top by Draper James X ELOQUII! This cotton piece runs true to size, however I would definitely recommend sizing up if you have a largesr bust, as this top works best for A-C cups and the fabric has no stretch. I loved the high-necked style and flutter sleeves and paired this with cropped denim jeans and sandals for a casual day out with friends. Definitely a fun summer piece you want to consider for your wardrobe!

Though I'm not always one for casual wear, I loved this adorable tee from Draper James X ELOQUII. Made from 100% cotton, this is hands down the softest, most comfortable top I have ever rented. Running true to size, the stretchy fabric of this piece allowed for comfortable fit throughout the midsection and bust. You can pair this with a high-waisted skirt or denim jeans for a cute, casual look. Would absolutely rent this again!

I loved this tropical top by JUNAROSE! This fun and fabulous top runs true to size and has comfortable room all over, especially in the bust. I loved the shoulder cut outs and felt like this was the perfect staple piece for my summer wardrobe, as it's thin and breezy and can easily be packed away in your suitcase for vacation! I will definitely rent again and recommend pairing with any denim jeans or capris for the perfect look.

Perfect blouse for spring! I loved this pink Waverly Grey top and it looked amazing in person! The fabric has no stretch and this top ran a bit small on me. I would recommend sizing up if you are curvier, for more comfortable room in the arms and bust, and to achieve the oversized look seen on the model. This top is very sheer so you will need to wear a nude bra and camisole underneath, so keep that in mind before renting! I loved the cutout sleeves and ties cuffs at the wrist and felt like this was a perfect, flirty spring blouse and can be worn for work or everyday wear. Pair with black slacks and oxfords for the perfect look!

Loved the flirty lace on this United Wood top! This piece is beautiful and perfect for a fun date night or night on the town with your friends. This runs a bit small so I would recommend sizing up for backup, as the fabric has no stretch and the lace was a bit tight around my arms due to my broad shoulders. That being said, I fell in love with this top completely and couldn’t wait to show it off! While there is comfortable room in the bust for all bust size, you do need to wear a NuBa or no bra with this, as the fabric band in front does not cover you in the back. There was comfortable room in the waist and I felt like this fit perfectly around my torso. The sleeves really made this piece and I would pair with fitted black pants and heels to complete the look.

Loved this futuristic sweater by A.L.C.! The heavy knit fabric allowed for stretch while still running true to size, and I would recommend sizing up for backup if you want a less fitted look. This top is more metallic in person, however I loved how sparkly it was and loved cool this sweater made me feel! There was comfortable room in the bust due to the stretch of the fabric, however this sweater should definitely be worn with a strapless bra, as the bra strap would be visible in the slit above your bust. I loved the turtleneck and how this piece defined my waist. I couldn’t wait to wear it after work for dinner and drinks with my friends! A must-have statement sweater for your winter wardrobe.

This Saylor dress is incredible! I was a bit hesitant to try this style due to the neckline but I’m so glad I did! This dress runs true to size however I would definitely recommend sizing up if you have a larger bust, and feel that this dress would work best for A-C cups. I also would recommend a NuBra or sticky bra along with fashion tape to hold everything in place, but after that you’ll be all set to rock this fabulous black dress for a night out on the town! This dress was so comfortable and I had plenty of room at the waist and hips without feeling like the dress was too baggy, and I loved how the high low style added another dimension to this piece. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to wow the crowd, definitely try this dress out - you won’t regret it!

Must-have for taller ladies! This See by Chloe dress is super flattering and made for a easy work outfit! Running true to size, we recommend going one size up for backup, as the fabric has no stretch. If you are smaller-framed or wear petite sizes, you may want to size down as this can run long and may run a big large on smaller frames. This dress is great for any bust size and falls straight at the waist and hips. The sleeves are fitted around the wrists and I loved how this made the dress stand out! At 5’6”, this hit just about the knee for me and I would recommend pairing with a colorful statement purse and black heels for a simple, go-to work outfit.

Loved the flirty floral print on this Kate Spade dress! Running true to size, we recommend going one size up for backup as the fabric has no stretch. This dress is perfect for any cup size and there is comfortable room in the bust, and can be worn with any standard bra which is always a plus! This piece is fitted at the natural waist and I found it to be super flattering on me, which is great because I’m always looking for more casual pieces that define my waist. At 5’6”, this dress hit about 2 inches above the knee, and I loved how versatile this dress is. I can see myself wearing this to a fun spring date or pairing with a belt and tights to wear to the office. I can’t wait to rent it again!

In love with this stylish drop-waist dress by Rebecca Minkoff! Running true to size, we recommend sizing up for backup if you are curvier and down if you are smaller-framed, as this dress is oversized and may look large on smaller figures. That being said, I loved how comfortable and cute this dress was! The fabric has no stretch but there is comfortable room throughout the bust, waist, and hips, and the drop-waist and tie-sleeves really made this piece stand out! Pair with some stylish black booties and minimal jewelry for a perfect, super easy work outfit!

Most comfortable coat ever! Seriously, this coat is so soft and the material is so lush I never wanted to take this piece off! Running true to size, I would recommend sizing down if you are smaller-framed, as this piece has lots of stretch and may be too overwhelming if you're very petite! There is comfortable room at the bust and waist, and the sleeves ran a bit long on me, however I enjoyed that look and find that it worked with this coat! I really love how versatile this piece is - I was able to dress it up or down depending on occasion. You can wear this with any outfit and I can't wait to rent it again!

Vibrant color, super flowy and fun! The color of this dress is seriously incredible and made me feel like a work of art. Though this dress has no stretch, it is oversized so I would recommend sizing down for a more structured look, or pairing with a cute belt to cinch your waist. There is comfortable room in the bust, however you do need to wear a nubra or no bra with this, as there are edgy cutouts on the sides and back. I had more than enough room at the hips, waist, and arms and this fabric is so light and flowy, I could just picture walking near the seaside and taking this piece on vacation with me! At 5'6", this hit at just above the knees for me, and I would pair this with a chunky statement necklace and wedges for a more casual, summer-y look.
