Runs large
I loved this item and was really disappointed to find that it was extremely large on me. I should've sized down! I was also surprised about how heavy the fabric was. I rented this for a summer garden party, but the style is much better suited for a fall wedding. I love the design and would try to rent again in a smaller size so I can actually wear it out in public.

Not comfortable
I was really excited about this item but was disappointed about how heavy and uncomfortable the fabric was. For a beach cover up I was hoping for it to be soft and light, but the fabric was thick, stiff, and scratchy. It was the opposite of what I'm looking for in a cover up. The fit was TTS, but I just couldn't get over how uncomfortable I felt to really enjoy this piece.

Not comfortable
I loved the look of this cover up on the model, but was very disappointed about how heavy and uncomfortable the fabric was. I gave this a few chances - to the pool, on a beach trip, to a weekend at the lake - but I just never felt comfortable and hated all of the pictures of me in it. Unfortunately, this is a no for me.

Matronly
I didn't end up wearing this in public at all. It fit fine - TTS - but hit me at a very strange spot. It needs to be a few inches shorter, or maybe worn with high heels to compensate for the awkward length. Just not my style, unfortunately.

Not for the big bust girlies - did not wear
This was a big no from me. The bust line hit about mid bust and then billowed out like a circus tent. I wanted to like it, but I wouldn't even wearing this at home alone let alone anywhere in public.

Missing the tie
This dress was fine. I wore it to a garden party, so the floral pattern was perfect for that. Like other reviewers, I found there to be too much fabric in the bust (even as someone with a larger bust) and used a safety pin to hide my bra and avoid wardrobe malfunctions. I felt the dress was a bit shapeless. When I came back to review at the end of my rental, I saw other pictures showing renters describing being able to "adjust" the waist with a tie. My dress didn't come with a tie? I ended up putting a black belt over top to define the waist. That helped.

Lovely dress
I LOVED this dress! I ordered my normal size and it fit nicely everywhere but it was a little snug in the ribcage area where it zippered up along the side. Next time, I will probably size up just so I could comfortably wear it all day.

Sized up (should've sized down)
I'm on the taller and rompers tend to be *extremely* short on me, so I ordered up to be safe and that was a mistake. The romper was way too big overall, but particularly long with tons of extra fabric in the crotch area. I wanted to like this, but really struggled. If I tried it again, it would be a size (or two) down.

Too small, didn't wear
I ordered my normal size in this item but it was too small and I wasn't able to wear it. It was particularly tight and unforgiving in the bust area and where the cutouts are in the waist. I really wanted to like this item, but probably wouldn't order again (even in a size up) because of the strange fit.

Nice (but short) dress!
I rented this dress for a work conference. I loved the colors and it fit me nicely, however, I didn't love the length of the sleeves and the length of the dress itself was much shorter than pictured. To keep things as professional as possible, I paired it was opaque black tights and flats, and I also put a black blazer over top.

Nice heavy cardigan for fall
I wore this cardigan several times during my rental and liked it a lot. It was a little large, so I mostly wore it opened rather than buttoned up. I was surprised by how heavy and chunky the fabric was - definitely perfect for fall weather! I tried ordering a cheaper Amazon dupe and, not surprisingly, the fabric was much thinner ... and it just looked like a bargain item. I would size down and rent this again!

Navy Ribbed Cardigan

Bust: 38DDD/E
Loved this dress!
I ordered up from my normal size L because I was (correctly) worried about the dress fitting my fuller bust. I didn't need the larger size anywhere BUT my bust. Since it's early fall, I paired this with a RTR navy cardigan and a jean jacket from home. I work this to work, a date night, and an evening birthday party at a brewery. Every time I wore it, I got tons of compliments on the dress. I thought the fit was very flattering! I was a little disappointed in the fabric, which had a bit of a distressed look. At first I thought maybe I received a well-worn dress, but after reading other reviews, it sounds like this is just the style. I would definitely rent this again and am honestly considering buying this so I could have it tailored for the best fit.

Versatile dress!
I really liked this dress and wore it several times during my rental, for date nights, work meetings, and everyday wear. It was easy to dress up or dress down. I will say I liked the dress a lot more when paired with a jacket, cardigan, or belt to help define my waist - particularly since I have a larger bust. However, the dress fit nicely and I received lots of compliments for how bright and colorful it was. I would definitely rent this again.

Not for bigger bust girlies
After reading some reviews, I sized up from my typical L. Unfortunately, this dress fit everywhere BUT the bust area. The buttons in the chest area were fighting for their lives to stay closed, even after I removed my bra. I was excited about this dress, but unfortunately wouldn't rent again. If I sized up again, the dress would far be too big everywhere else and I'd need to have it tailored to wear.

Okay
I don't love the way blazers tend to fit me, and I was looking for a nice black cardigan that might be a good alternate. While this was okay, it was a bit cheaper feeling and looking than I expected. I wouldn't rent this again.

Classic Draped Maternity Blazer

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 200lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Not for the big bust girlies
I was excited to pair this dress with an oversized black blazer and sneakers for a work conference. Unfortunately, I never got to wear it. I'm usually a size 10/12, and I ordered a size 12 but the bust was far too small. Even removing my bra, I wasn't able to fully zip the dress - and even if I forced it, my chest would've looked smashed and flat. I was disappointed about this and likely wouldn't even bother ordering a size up.

Strange fit, not flattering
I really liked the thickness and heaviness of the material for a fall/winter dress, but that's honestly the only positive thing I have to stay about this item. The fit was really strange on me. The arms were super baggy and shapeless, the top half of the dress was really snug (the neck and the bust specifically) and the bottom half was very loose. When I looked in the mirror, I didn't see a shape at all. Unfortunately, the dress was so unflattering on me that I didn't wear it anywhere. Not a good match for ladies with larger bust sizes.

Looked frumpy on fuller bust
I didn't wear this item at all. I was disappointed with how frumpy it looked on my body. I think, because I have a fuller bust (38DDD), it didn't lay on me like the model (on the model it almost looks like a 2-piece set). Instead, it just looked sloppy. I also imagined this being a deeper more chocolate brown instead of the lighter caramel color. Having fair skin and blonde hair, I felt really washed out in this color.
