Disheveled look
I had high hopes, but the cut of this dress just made me look disheveled and very "morning after."
Norwood Dress
AFRM
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 200lbs
Bust: 38D
Cute for work!
Didn't end up wearing it, but I may rent again in the future! The material has a nice weight to it and it's super cute and flattering. I just expected such a weighty fabric to show less dimples and dips.
Pointelle Cardigan Dress
Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 200lbs
Bust: 38D
Tight collar
It tugs weirdly from the back to the front. It fit me well everywhere but there, so I concluded that it was the cut, but it may look better and fit better on a smaller chest.
Albertine Midi Dress
Rixo x RTR
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 200lbs
Bust: 38D
Wish it had a touch more stretch
It's gorgeous, but it needs just a tiny bit of stretch to it to make it perfect.
Desire Slip Dress
Untitled in Motion
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 200lbs
Bust: 38D
Short crop top
I know it's meant to be cropped, but it's almost...too cropped? Like if you lift your arm the wrong way, you've got a full boob out. I think it would work great on someone with a smaller chest!
Sequin Crop Top

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 7"

Incredible coat
Just perfect. No other words. Luxurious, flattering, chic. Chef's kiss. Will rent again one size down, but it does the oversized look so well, you can't go wrong.

Boxy but fine for work
This was just fine. Didn't do anything for my body but it's a nice jacket to throw on top of a set of basics and spruce up your work for. Not flattering

Nice fit, a little hot to wear
I liked the style, cut, and fit of this top, but I did get a little hot wearing this out in the city walking around on a lovely spring day when I didn't expect to get sweaty. Felt like the material wasn't as breathable as I expected

Flattering but hook is bent at the front
I loved how this looked on, but the hook at the front is temperamental and kept flying open. I wore this to work so that was not ideal. I still loved the cut and material of this dress though!

Didn't work on my body
I was so excited for this dress but found the material to be unflattering. Showed every bump and curve in a way that did NOT make me feel confident.

Get the set!
Top is boxy but together with the skirt or separately over jeans it's such a stylish professional piece for work or networking events

Get the set!
A little boxy but overall a stylish, polished look for a professional networking event or work function. I actually wore the skirt separately with a different top and then also wore the skirt with a tight fitting top and the matching top unbottoned over it.
