Larger look but still with classic vibes. Perfect!
Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. They are large, which give them a modern feel, but with a classic and understated edge and side. Perfect! Keeping them for a while longer.

Didn't wear but if you like a black leather jacket, this one delivers exactly what it says it will.
I ended up not wearing it because I realized I was not really a black leather jacket girl once I put it on. I think it is well made however, and exactly as described. The mixed materials work and the fit was right.

Sharp, tailored, slightly edgy look for dinner with jeans or for work.
I loved this jacket. It made me feel put together whether it was for work or for a night out with jeans. Jacket can look frumpy on me at the size I am now but I didn't feel frumpy in this. It fit great. Very warm, perfect for winter or cooler fall days. I really liked the slightly edgy tailoring on the back of the shoulders. Typical Rag and Bone, classic, classy, with just a little edge.

Such a fun rental for a ski vacation!
This was exactly what it should be, a great layer and fun apri ski wear. Soft, comfy with a fun pattern. I loved renting it for a ski vacation in CO. Didn't fall in love or anything but was glad to have it for a little while!

Looks like it does in the pics. A little too frumpy for my age though. Just not my style.
I felt like I looked too old and frumpy in this. I don't know what I was expecting. It actually looks on exactly as it looks in the pics. So my bad!

Love, love! Got a rare compliment from my teen daughter! A little hard to bend in though.
This ski suit is so warm and a real stand out on the slopes. My teen daughter, who is highly critical of anything flashy thought it was great and showed off my figure. Which at a size 16 is hard to pull off in ski gear! I also got some compliments in the lift line. The only reason I didn't keep it is because I am I telemark ski and need to bend down to clip in my skis and it was really hard to do a deep bend in this suit! Also kind of hard to get up from a fall in it. So warm though! And such a great vibe!

I felt fantastic dressed for a gala in this dress.
As a curvy woman I was pleasantly suprised that though this hugged in places it still looked absolutely fantastic! It was comfortable to move around in, the small flower pattern was lovely and the shoulder flair gave it an old glamour feel but without losing the modern appeal. I was able to show off my figure, even at my larger size, and feel absolutely fantastic. A great rental!

Massive shoulder pads. Loved the dress, would have been better without them and with a liner.
The shoulder pads are really, really big. I have wide shoulders already and never need shoulder pads but these were much, much larger than usual. If that is a style you are into, you may like this dress. The pattern is cool. The velvet is nice. The slit in the leg would have required me to wear tights or use fashion tape to keep from showing my underwear, but added a bit of fun. I was disapointed that it wasn't lined, which made it feel scratchy. If those things don't bother you, the dress is a very pretty pattern and the velvet with silver feather detail is a nice holiday look.

Unique color, sparkly fun, but not too much, for a night out.
I enjoyed these earrings with a dress with a lot of pink in it. They fit the formal occasion with their sparkle and medium to large size without distracting from the dress or being over the top in the sparkle department. Overall, glad I rented them. Definitely completed the outfit!

Love, love this skirt. Keeping it for another month!
Even though I am on the heavier side this short skirt looks fantastic with a pair of opaque tights and black boots in the winter. It is a perfect winter off white and the skirt looks great paired with all types of different sweaters, shirts. It is great for dinner out with a nice shirt or for slightly dressed up every day wear with a sweater. I wouldn't wear it to work because of the length but it is great for everywhere else. It is hard when you are a larger size to find refined, sexy winter looks. And this fits the bill perfectly! Keeping for another month!

Great for layering, fun little details.
I wore this to Thanksgiving the long way with a sweater dress and another layered necklace and it really made the outfit. I wore it again to dress up an otherwise plain shirt. It provides some nice shine to an otherwise boring outfit and was a fun one month rental that I got some great versatile use out of.

I really enjoyed this rental. I wore it with a white tweed skirt and it looked fantastic. It has a fun winter pattern, that I enjoyed around the holidays. Only keeping for one cycle because I was bored after 2 wears, but definitely worth the rental!

I felt like a NYC princess.
I should have worn my regular size but the size down still fit, though a little snug. The bottom half of this dress has such a fantastic feel. So many ruffles. They are not cutesy ruffles though, they are refined and just right for a night out in NYC. The top has a lovely feel as well. The colors are right for the holidays but muted for any time in the winter season. A rich maroon that is not too dull and not too bright. I wore it to a Broadway show, and then wore it again around town with a blazer for an every day look and felt like a million bucks.

Gorgeous details.
I didn't wear it because I got the wrong size (my fault, it runs true to size) and I did not have time to exchange before my event. I would have worn it if I had the right size because the detailing was gorgeous and the small velvet belt at the waist gave it just the perfect sweetness. It also has great structure and would have held me in all the right places. Boohoo. Next year!

Love, love this sweater dress. From work to drinks to weekend.
This sweater dress manages to maintain enough structure to compliment a curvy figure without hugging anywhere uncomfortable and it is so, so warm, yet can still be worn comfortably inside. It is perfect for cold days. It can dress up a little and also be casual. Great for weekends, work and casual events. I am going to hang on to it a little longer. I would by if it were a little less expensive.

Basic, comfortable work blouse, runs a little large.
I like the heart pattern in this blouse and the sleeves are fun. It is easy to wear on zoom or to a meeting in person. It is a bit big though, and doesn't have a lot of structure, so it does not do much for the figure. Not quite what I typically expect from Kate Spade.

Fantastic fall jacket for work or going out. Great colors!
I love, love this jacket. I am hanging onto it for another month. I would buy it if it were not so pricey. It is light enough for a work day with a light blouse, or as a cute little jacket on cooler fall days with a sweater under. I love the bit of pink in the checks. The colors liven this jacket up and the material is like a soft, yet strong flannel with a great lining that gives it structure. Just the right heaviness. Looks great on my curvy figure. Love, love it!

Nice, easy date night dress. Great with a statement necklace. runs a little big.
I liked how easy this was to put on. It is simple so looks great with a statement necklace. Also has a fun hemline. I liked how it cinched in to create a nice silouette on my curvy figure without being tight. The fabric is a little on the heavier side and I wasn't so sure about the maroon. The color and the fabric brought it from a five to a four for me, but that is just a matter of taste. Overall fits really well, even though it ran a little big.

Very flattering fall dress for curvy figures. Dress up or down.
I loved this dress and got a lot of compliments. I would buy it if it were a little less expensive. It cinches in lightly and creates a nice siloutte on a curvy figure, yet is still a super easy, throw on style and not at all tight anywhere. It is light for warmer fall days, and when paired with a jacket and tights goes easily into the coler autumn days as well. It has a great fall color and crepe texture. Just perfect for October through November. I will definitely rent again.

Very flattering material and cut. Cool, modern look. Should have sized up.
I wish I had sized up. The material and cut are very flattering for larger, curvy figures like my own. Edgy, fun and the taper at the bottom is perfect and modern. Unfortunately the waist was just a bit to small for me so it was too uncomfortable to wear. Highly recommend in the right size though, for any size person!

Adorable skirt pattern but the fit too large for curves.
I loved, loved the pattern on the skirt and really wished it flattered my figure, but it didn't. The top was either stretched out or just too large and so did not have a polished look. The waist on the skirt juts out in a way that makes those of us with curves look just simply extra large. Probably would look great on someone who wears a small size on bottom and has a large bust. For that person, the skirt pattern and scalloped top are just fantastic!

A fun print and the right warmth for autumn. Worth a short term rental!
I received compliments on the fun print and color and it was the perfect weight for cooler autumn days. It is a bit blocky, which is good because it hid some things I wanted hidden, but it is not meant to be particularly figure flattering. Just a basic, fun piece that is definitely worth a fall rental, especially for curvy figures looking for a fun piece for every day wear. Very cute with short boots!

I wore this to jazz up an every day outfit and it also worked with black, tan or brown hue dresses for an edgy dress-up look. I liked the blocky look as it hid some things I wanted hidden, and gave it a modern feel. The material is perfect for cool autumn days. Not too hot, not to light. Highly recommend trying it out.

A fantastic every day dress for cooler fall days!
The fit is perfect for my curvy shape and is so comfortable and easy to quickly throw on and look put together. The color blocking and uneven hem gives it a little edge, and the sweater-like material and fit feel high end. I wore this to an outdoor potluck, and for every day outings, and always felt styled, put together and supremely comfortable. Definitely rent for every day wear for cool autumn days!

Just not my style. But works on curvy figures.
I tried to go out of my comfort zone and at such a great price I thought I would just go for it and buy it without trying first. Big mistake. Just not my style. Hard to get on as well. It actually looks good on a curvy figure though for someone whose style does match this dress!

The print is nice and bright and the dress is very flattering for a curvy figure.
The material is a comfortable cotton blend that would work into the early fall. The fit was perfect and I like how my curvy figure looked in it. My only issue was keeping the wrap closed well. I would suggest fashion tape to have that exactly perfect fit at the bust.
