Awful boxy sweater
I wish there had been reviews before I rented this… It's the most boxy thing I've ever seen in my life. The sleeves are 3 to 4 times bigger than they need to be. It's like wearing a giant oversized box

Almost kept
Loved these jeans. Had they been just a little longer I would have kept them. Just a tiny bit short for my long legs but cute with boots :)

Cute but short
The detail in this dress is super cute and it has just the right amount of puff in the sleeves. Be prepared if you are tall for it to be very short… Was not appropriate for the office but cute for date night

Flying Squirrel
Just say no unless you want to look like a flying squirrel. I rented this before the other reviews and the fit is so off. It gapes in the back, is so boxy, and not cute.

Proposal Dress
Little did I know when I rented this dress that it would become my proposal dress! (I said yes) The dress is super flowy and has a large slit. I'm between a 12/14 at the moment and the 12 was a bit snug, but I felt comfortable going braless. I wish the lining was longer or had a slit as it was very short and tended to ride up.

Great detail, runs large
I've rented this twice now - once when I was a 14 and got the XL - it was way too big! I've lost some weight and now wear an 8/10 - the medium didn't work with a large bust so I didn't end up wearing it this time. The raw edge on the M was also extremely frayed. Definitely a unique piece with the embroidered detail.

Super unflattering
Found the fit to be super boxy and unflattering and it wasn't comfy / cozy enough to wear around the house. The cotton acrylic mix wasn't soft and warm - it was more stiff and unforgiving. Sent this back unworn.

Too revealing
I rented this for some web conference calls and couldn't wear it as it was just too small and revealing. I have several other Nanette Lenore tops that fit just fine. I did like the button closure of the wrap on the inside and it's hard to see from the photo but the fabric on the edges is animal print which is kind of fun. Maybe I'll try again in a larger size.

Runs small and short
I sized up from my normal size and still found these to be snug. They are way too short for the tall girls out there and fit more like a Capri!

Loved!
Loved this sweater way more than I expected. The bow is perfectly placed and the sleeves puff just the right amount. Might be tempted to keep this one...

Nothing special
Not my favorite sweater. The color was nice but the holes where the cable crosses were too large for my liking - left a penny sized hole. The sweater also had super pronounced hanger bumps making it unwearable. I wish sweaters didn't come on a hanger to help prevent this!!

So many complements
I loved this so much I kept it! Complements everywhere I go! Super soft and the faux leather belt is really well made. I'm between a L and XL, glad I rented the XL as the arms are a tiny bit restrictive.

So hard not to keep!
I loved everything about this dress. The fabric is thick and provides a bit of compression while still being bodycon. My office is on the chilly side so paired it with a Tory Burch cardigan but wore it out without a cardigan and some jazzier jewelry. Hardest part of this rental was sending it back but I'm trying to RTR, not keep the runway! Will definitely rent this again

Too bodycon
I rented this for work but never ended up wearing this as it was too bodycon without the fabric being compressive enough for a curvy figure. The slits were much higher than expected; had it fit better, it would work nicely with tights and a cropped jacket for an office setting.

Silky work dress
Great silky dress - rented this back when I was still traveling so had the opportunity to wear it twice. Only complaint is that the dart ends at a strange point in the bust, but I have a large chest (34G) so this might not be noticeable to others. I still wore it :)

Great details
I rented this for work and a happy hour and it was perfect. It is really well made and I loved the little details: intricate lace, heart design on the buttons, flecks of shimmer on the bodice. IMO not dressy enough for a cocktail party but could be a conservative option for that too.

I loved this so much, I found it on Nanette Lepore and bought it!
This dress is perfect for the office and with some blingy accessories makes a great date night dress too. I'm 5'10" and this was the perfect, just at the knees length. The hidden zipper moved really easily and the full lining gives it a nice weight. I'm also a 34G bust and did not need a cami, even for the office.

So small
This dress is beautiful but I didn't heed the other reviews and ordered my normal size. I couldn't even pull the dress over my booty. My guess is that if you have curves you'll need to size up 2, if not 3, sizes.

Staple sweater dress with great details
This navy blue sweater dress has just the right amount of weight, neither too heavy nor too sheer, with some great lace / crepe details. I am between a 12 / 14 so ordered the XL and the XL is definitely a 14. I liked this dress so much, I found it on sale and bought it (in a L).

Perfect for Vegas
I rented this for the Lady Gaga concert in November in Vegas and it was perfect! Light weight sleeves, but the perfect amount of sparkle. I usually wear and 12/L, but decided to go up a size to an XL given that I have a 34G bust and that was a great decision. The snap hit exactly where it should to keep it from being too revealing.

Beautiful but will stretch
I really loved these pants. The fabric has really nice texture and the print is bold without being over the top. I really liked the high waist and the seam down the front of the leg provided nice structure. I got a lot of complements at work, but as other reviewer's have stated, they do tend to stretch over the day. Depending on the designer I either wear a 12 or 14, usually a 14 in DVF, but should've done a 12 with these pants. Good thing I didn't, because I probably would've kept them!

Didn't wear
I loved the feel of the fabric on the blouse but it definitely runs really small. Not great for a large bust.
