Great work skirt
I loved the fit, cut, and pattern of this skirt. It can be paired with so many different colored tops. It would work well with a t-shirt in summer or a sweater and boots in fall. Would rent again.

I was happy that I didn’t need to wear hers with these pants, but they were rather large in waist, so I wouldn’t rent them again.

I wore this for casual Friday at work as my school requires that staff wear black and orange. It was almost more brown. It was very long on me.

Fall Wedding
I think this dress fits true to size. The sleeves may be a little short if you have long arms. I didn’t think it was too short in the back at all, although it does ride up a bit in the front.

Would make a good dress for a beach event
This dress was on the long side for a petite. I had to wear 4-5 inch wedges for it to not touch the ground. The fabric was comfortable, but I didn't like how the dress is secured in the front largely with ill-places snaps. I wore spanx underneath it in case it came open when I moved. The front is very low cut.

Good dress for outdoor spring/summer event
This dress fit fine, but was nothing spectacular. The blue color is beautiful and I liked the lace detailing, but the way it was cut did not flatter the hips or chest. It is on the long side for petites and the arm holes seemed small.

Great bright summer color and material
Contrary to many of the other reviewers, I did not find this dress to run small. I fit into the 0 with room to spare, especially up top. I had to pull it up throughout the evening to be sure my strapless bra was not exposed. I do, however, agree with the other reviewers about the boning that is sticking out of the bodice needing to be repaired. It kept poking me whenever I sat down. Otherwise it was very comfortable, even in the Charleston heat in mid-July. The bright yellow makes you stand out.

Great jumpsuit that can be dressed up or down
This is a great jumpsuit for petite ladies. The tapered leg keeps it from being too long. I was even able to wear flats with it during the day. It is lined and not at all see through. I wore a normal bra with it, and it didn't show. You can also dress it up with heels and different accessories for a night out. The color is more ivory than white. I have an athletic build and had no problem getting over my hips, chest, or shoulders.

Fun but classy winter dress
I rented this dress for a cocktail reception during my company's annual meeting on a cold January night. The longsleeves were a bonus. I have an athletic build and didn't find the sleeves to be at all tight. Since I'm not very tall, I didn't find the dress to be at all short like some of the other reviewers. If this is a concern, I would recommend wearing black tights with the dress. I noticed very little difference between the 0 and the 2, so I wore the 0. Yes, some of the metallic pieces do fall off, but it wasn't noticeable in my case.

Great jumpsuit for taller women
I loved the color and cut of this jumpsuit. It's a bit more red than orange in real life. Wish I had been able to wear it. Sadly, the 0 was a bit too big for me and way too long, even with 4" platform wedges. I was concerned about stepping on or soiling the pant legs. I know the stylist notes say good for anyone 5'2"-5'6" but I wouldn't order it if you're under 5'4". I might also be wary of it being too revealing if you have a large (D or bigger) chest).

Flattering and fun
Wish I had an appropriate photo of the dress. It fit perfectly and was quite flattering. The sleeves weren't too tight, and I've got fairly muscular arms. I'm petite, so I didn't find it at all short. It was fitted but not to the point where you felt like you couldn't eat or drink all day. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that the tulle gets kind of bunched and you have to flatten it out while wearing it. I'd recommend a strapless bra.

Cute sweetheart dress with pockets. Great for outdoor events.
I rented this dress for an outdoor bridal shower. I loved the sweetheart cut and the pockets.The print is great for summer. I would recommend that you go a size smaller unless you are busty. I was constantly having to pull up the top of the dress to keep my bra from showing, even though the bodice is well structured. The dress looks short on the model, but if you are petite it will hit at about your knees. All my girlfriends at the shower loved it. If it ran a little smaller, I would buy it.

Fun summer party dress!
I loved the open back. The fabric is thin and lightweight but not see through. My only complaint was that it rode up a little bit as I walked. I tried on my backup size , two dress, which wasn't really any better (just looser). Wore this for my birthday party and got tons of compliments. You can dress it up or down. I would definitely rent it again.
