Great Dress!
This dress was great - it would be even better on someone with a longer torso. I had to adjust the straps all the way up to get the waist to hit right and it brought the neckline up a little too high. Other than that, I loved this dress. Great fabric and print!

Pretty Space Witch
This dress is super cool - It has a Stevie Nicks meets Lisa Frank vibe a.k.a. Pretty Space Witch. The top part is a little tricky to get into and the button up is tedious, but it looks great once it's on. It's also comfortable and flattering.

Too Warm for Summer
This ran small in the hips and was too warm for the summer. The tank version is much cuter.

Good For Cooler Temps
This is flowy and spacious, so stick with your normal size or even one down. The cut is great, but it's lined and pretty warm - save this for colder months.

SOOO BIG!
The reviews don't lie. This runs really big. I was feeling puffy, so I ordered my normal size thinking it would give me a little extra space. It gave me enough extra room to start an AIRbnb side hustle. Definitely size down at least one or two full sizes.

Didn't Wear
This did not work on my sort torso. The waist hit funny and was extremely unflattering on my waistline.

Great Colors
This dress was a bit loose and revealing on top due to my shorter torso, but it worked with a tank top underneath. The colors were great and I got a lot of compliments. It's very flattering.

Fun & Flowy
I found this dress very flattering and would rent this again. The only drawback is that the top is very low cut and needs a safety pin to keep it from being too revealing.

Faded with a tricky zipper.
This ran 2 sizes small and looked faded. I found the zipper next to impossible. Thumbs down.

Princess Di Fabulosity, Just a Tad Tricky
This blouse gave me Princess Di 80's super-feminine puffy sleeves vibes in a great way. Unfortunately, I don't think I had the right pants or skirt to go with it. I ended up pairing it with high-waisted black cropped pants, but it still felt a bit off. I kept tucking, untucking, and half tucking it all day trying to find the right styling, but it never quite worked. I love the color, fabric, and button details, but I think you really need to come at this blouse with a clear plan.

Nice Little Summer Sunday Frock
This is a nice little summer Sunday dress. It's great for brunch and has some flattering features - the strategic patterns and the faux wrap over the stomach. The print and colors are true enough to the picture, but are a bit boring for me.

Flouncy and Fabulous
This is another great Equipment work blouse. It looks polished and professional while still being super comfortable. I wore an XL, but could have probably done a M or L. I like the extra flow on this though, although that meant the sleeves were a bit long.

70's Business Clown, But Cute
I really liked the retro print and pastel purple on this, but the skirt was super boxy on and the length was a bit too short for work. I tried numerous accessories with this, but it never looked quite right.

Too Big
This promised to be a nice little work dress, but was huge on me. It's a faux wrap, so there was no cinching it to fit either.

Is it a crop top? A handkerchief with sleeves? A training bra?
This did not function as a shirt on me. It kind of looked like I was attempting to wear a dress made for a medium sized dog. The neckline was super low and it was incredibly short on my very abbreviated torso. This might work on someone very petite, but I just couldn't make it work so it went straight back.

Droopy Drawers
These were great, very cute and comfortable, but way too much stretch. I was pulling them up all day. At one point, they made their way fully off my butt and were making a bee line for my knees when I caught them.

Best Blouse Ever
This top is fantastic. It's flattering, comfortable, and looks great at work or on the weekend. I felt very put together and chic.

Not For The Short Waisted
These are cute jeans, but the high rise on my short waist was a no go. These nearly reached my boobs and were way too tight at the (intended) waist. Very cute concept and are probably great for those with a long torso.

Flattering Cut and Flow
This would have been great for work and weekend, but it was too tight across my ribs. Unless you have a narrow torso, I would size up.

Penelope Patches, Plucky Pirate Princess
I rented a size up due to availability and the result was an extra flouncy blouse. This is a fun top, but the grommets, tie neck, and vintagey print all together made me feel like a scrappy fashionista of the high seas. I named this character Penelope Patches. In addition to terrorizing international waters, the dread pirate Pennypatch is known for making herself clothes from the fancy curtains of the ships she pillages. I appreciated the extra bit of swagger on an otherwise mundane Wednesday and even received a few compliments on the top at work.

1940's School Teacher
This dress is a great print and moves well, but it's a bit...restrained. If I had to meet a new romantic partner's parents at a religious service, this would be a good choice. I mostly felt like I was doing vintage school teacher cosplay, which would have been more fun if I didn't have to go to work.

Business Floral
I got a lot of compliments on this dress at work. I paired it with a deconstructed black blazer and black tights to make it more business-y. The colors, stretch, and construction are great. My only knock on it is that I wish it were 2 inches longer. I wouldn't wear it to work without tights due to the short length. Otherwise, this is a great office dress.

Blouse in the House
This is a great blouse - the print is lovely, the fabric is nice, and it falls perfectly. Basically, it's $300 (ish) blouse and it shows. I felt great rocking this at the office and will wear again before I return. I'd consider buying this, but want to try all the Equipment shirts before I commit. I'm usually between a medium and large and the medium fit great. I might try a large next time though for a flowier feel.

Country Western Stevie Nicks
I love this dress. It's got a dark boho vibe that went great with my tall gray Frye boots. The front is low cut, but easily pinned or taped if you're feeling semi-modest. The side zipper is a little tricky, but manageable. The best part is the feather peplum element, which is great if you're feeling self-conscious about your stomach.

Cute Top
This is a cute top, but fairly clingy and low cut. For a conservative office environment , I'd stick with a smoothing undershirt beneath it.
