Size down
This ran huge! I could have sized down 1 or even 2 sizes. Like a tent and couldn't even tuck it in - way too much fabric. Great quality, just ran big.

High quality leather but SO small
Beautiful bag and color, thick leather, but the bag was so small I couldn't even put my phone in it.

Warning - may not be work appropriate
Color is gorgeous for fall, but this ran small and be warned.... you need a "stunt bra!" A normal bra will not work because the neckline is wide and low on one side. So low, it wasn't work appropriate. I made it work by wearing a scarf, but that defeated the purpose of the cute neckline. Not office appropriate.

Runs large
I typically wear an 8, sometimes a 6 in pants, but I easily could have worn a 4 in these. The wool is scratchy. That doesn't bother me at all, but if you don't like that feeling, avoid these pants!

Basic but pretty
This ran slightly tight around the chest, but I'm a 34 DD. It was also a little large around the hips, but there is no way a 4 would fit. The tie around the waist is really flattering. Nothing super special, but it's a nice everyday work dress.

Flattering, but beware of snaps on the side!
Dress fit well and was super flattering, but the zipper on the side only goes halfway up and then there are three tiny snaps. The snaps continually came undone all day. Not a huge deal, except I had on a beige cami so it was totally obvious when the snaps were open. If I had a navy cami, it would have been better. Or better yet, the dress could have been designed with a zipper that goes all the way up!!

Ran large
Not a true wrap dress so even with a cami, I was constantly fussing with the top and pulling it closed.

I typically wear an 8 in pants and was absolutely swimming in these. Print was super cute though.

Awful fit
This dress is cut very wide in the hips with a ton of extra fabric. Not flattering and made me look much bigger than I am. No one needs that. Sent it right back, wasted rental.

Perfect for Disney
This bag was perfect for walking around Disney all day. We had one unexpected thunderstorm but the water drops just beaded off of the bag until I could throw my poncho on over it. It's not too big and not too small. I fit both a still and video camera, wallet, a few water bottles, phones, extra phone battery, and a few other things in there with room to spare. The material is nice and light and the red was a cute pop of color. I probably should have listened to my husband when he said to just buy it!! Great travel bag, and was perfect on the plane as well. My only complaint is that it only has 1 interior pocket and I wish it had a few more to keep things organized.

Ran small
This dress was pretty but ran small around the bust and waist. I'm 5'4" and it hit my ankles. Wasn't that flattering

Way too small - could not even wear
So I rented this for work, however I didn't realize it was denim material. Strike 1. Then I could barely fit it over my hips, and I go between a 6 and 8. Size up 2 sizes for this casual skirt.

Cute
Fit was snug, but stretchy side panels helped. But... the stretchy side panels also cheapened the dress. Really nice fall plaid for a warm day.

Nice design, ran large
This was just okay for me. The top ran quite large and the sleeves were too long. It was comfortable and warm on the top, but the bottom is silk and very light.

Cute and comfy
Super comfy pants with the elastic waist. I wore it with a black long sleeved tee tucked in and green Tory Burch flats. They are heavy and lined, so best for late fall or winter. Seriously felt like pajama pants, almost too casual.

Gorgeous unique dress
Very flattering and true to size. I got every compliment from "Denaerys Targaryan" from Game of Thrones to "80s throwback splatterpaint." The fabric was really interesting and not too sparkly for church, but perfect for the reception. It was hard to find shoes to match. I wore nude heels for the ceremony and then changed into shoes with rhinestones for the reception. I helped coordinate the wedding and was running around all day and was super comfortable too. Plus the pockets allowed me to keep my phone with me. Would rent again!

Odd fit, pretty top
I wore this with slim cropped black pants for work. The top was cropped and short in the back and I felt like I needed to adjust it constantly. I also had to position it for work and make it not so "off the shoulder."

Lots of Compliments
Fit was a little small (I'm a 34DDD), and you definitely need another person to help you hook and zip the dress. The built in bra was awesome and the workmanship of the fabric was beautiful.

Incredible quality, fit not quite right
Beautiful dress. Fabric is high quality and the embroidery is as well. It fit fine around the bust, but was large in the hip and butt. Not typical of other Temperley dresses.

Compliments all day
Was a little tight around the bust, but not bad. Strapless bra a must. I don't think I've ever gotten more compliments. Wore with cropped black pants and black heels. It was beautiful!

Did all the right things
Gorgeous color, and the dress did all the right things for my figure. I was able to wear normal undergarments, no slip needed. Wish I could buy this dress!!

Compliments all day!
This light silk dress fit perfectly, even around the bust area. No pulling on the buttons which is rare for me. The colors are beautiful and the length worked fine for work.

Boxey
Very boxy and not tailored at all. It looked okay with skinny black pants, but I wouldn't rent again.

Difficult to style
The skirt is a beautiful heavy fabric, but the tie waist and the bunching at the waist made it impossible to style. I wore it, but would not rent again.

Pretty, but ran small
This dress was pretty, but ran small. I typically wear an 8 and was barely able to bottom the top by wearing a bra with no padding. The waist was fine.

So many compliments
The dress fit but did pull a little at the bust. I wore a bra with no padding and made it through the day. I got a ton of compliments. The material was gorgeous and flowed. I paired it with hose and nude heels.

So ladylike and elegant
Like any DVF, it ran small so I got a 10 instead of my usual 8. Length was perfect and overall fit was great. I got compliments all day!

Sophisticated and classy
The dress surpassed my expectations on color and fabric quality. The fabric is thicker than I imagined and has some stretch. It was form fitting, but extremely tasteful. Perfect for work. I got compliments on the color all day!

Classy dress!
Fit was exactly as expected, but no stretch. Fabric and detailing on the flowers was amazing. I could absolutely see Kate or Pippa Middleton in this dress - so classy and flattering! Wish I could keep it!

Lovely dress, but ran small in the bust area. Was very classy and comfortable.
Wore for an afternoon tea bridal shower complete with hats and fascinators. The color was beautiful and the dress was comfortable.
