If you enjoy the feeling of being lightly choked all day long …
… this top is for you! The turtleneck part is suffocating and so so tight. Everything else about it fits normally.

Size up at least 2 sizes! Insanely small
The M looked like it was a perfect fit for my 5 year old. That should tell you everything.

Plaid Half Zip Sweater

Beware: major boob gapping
Runs a bit small overall but particularly in the chest area. I couldn't wear this because of how much boob gapping there was.

Such a perfect work dress - will rent over and over again

Bust: 34B
Bold! But loved it for work.
Got a ton of compliments. Feels vintage and modern all at once. And the color is loud, but if you pair it right, it doesn't look crazy.
Viola Cardigan
Ronny Kobo
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Fun sweater; runs a tad small.
I stuck with my usual size and it was fine, but it's borderline snug.
Pink Carlo Sweater
STINE GOYA
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Awesome cropped sweater! Would wear everyday.
Got so many compliments, and agree with the suggestions to size up -- it fits very snug. Wore often during the holidays.
Montana Sweater
Rebecca Minkoff
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
More "glittery" than expected; runs large
Has to be styled just so, otherwise it looks a bit kooky.
Brinn Jacket
Ronny Kobo
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Classic knit dress - have rented multiple times!
Was great for maternity and now in the postpartum phase. Very simple and minimalist. Not too warm for the office when the heat is on!
Rib Flounce Dress
Theory
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Runs a tad bit small and the fabric only has a slight stretch ...
... though it holds its shape all day and is a nice, thick - almost quilted - material. Like shapewear, I feel like it hugged in all the right places.
Evan Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
A bit boxy but a great work blazer
I loved the slight fringe/ raw hem around the sleeves!
Dark Violet Tweed Jacket
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
A little snug in the waist; recommend wearing a slip underneath
I liked this skirt a lot and was glad I saw the recommendations to wear a slip under it because the weaving is fairly see-through! But it was comfortable, light, and warm.
Can't Knit With Us Skirt
BB Dakota
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Thin, silky blouse with a modern silhouette
Light as air and paired nicely with black culottes at work. I felt very modern and, most importantly, comfortable!
Floral Boxy Blouse
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
A true wrap dress, but stays put!
Such a dreamy, pretty dress, and I didn't flash anyone - hooray!
Red Floral Printed Wrap Dress
Polo Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Not really my style - bust is purposefully baggy
This was just ... fine. Tight from the waist down, baggy on top. Not my usual go-to look, but decided to expand my horizons.
Dolman Sleeve Floral Sheath
Alexia Admor
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Great for colder weather at the office ...
... where temperature control is always terrible. I wore a thin black long sleeved shirt underneath on a particularly chilly day and it was perfect. I dig the sculptural knits, too.
Camel Cross Front Turtleneck
Thakoon x RTR
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Lovely top, fits perfectly
Very thin, so keep in mind if you're considering this for cooler temps. The keyhole neck is a decent size, though I felt OK wearing to my fairly conservative office. Otherwise, fits really well.
Hudson Paisley Top
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34B
The silhouette is kinda insane - not for me!
The official photo does not does not give the most accurate impression. The shirt runs really large in the chest and then flares out A LOT. And there is A LOT of fabric. It's like wearing a parachute. The shirt I rented felt a bit overworn and nearing "retirement," too.
Black Tiered Button Down
Co
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34B
BEST DRESS EVER
I will be buying this FOR SURE. Talk about a dream dress for work or cocktail attire situations. It's unbelievably comfortable, fits like a glove, and such a flattering cut. The keyhole front is really minimized, so you don't have to worry about feeling inappropriate at the office.
Black High Neck Sheath
Donna Morgan
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34B
Classic silhouette; fits better than other A-line dresses, but not perfect
I received a few compliments on this one. It's a nice deep dark green color and a feminine silhouette, but still felt baggy in the chest and shoulders while tighter in the waist and arms.
Greer Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34B
Kinda frumpy and shapeless - best for more casual outfits, not the office
Very comfortable and all, but I wasn't wowed with this jacket. It looked fuddy-duddy for work attire. I think I'd like it more if I wore with jeans and a T-shirt.
Donnie Jacket
DREW
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34B
Lots of compliments - looks exactly as pictured
Simple blouse that drapes nicely - would rent again!
Floral Oxford Top
YUMI KIM
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Draping is a bit odd, but otherwise loved this dress
The draping/ fabric on top is a little awkward, but it feels really luxurious, fits comfortably, and is NOT a true wrap dress, so you can wear to the office (or wherever) without fear of flashing anyone.
Floral Connie Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Too glitzy for the office - didn't wear
Seems like a good enough dress but ultimately I couldn't pull the trigger and wear it to work. It's made of a dark gray glittery fabric, which is understated in the photo.
Metallic Wrap Sweater Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Light and airy material, but definitely use Spanx
That is, if you're like me and prefer a smoothed-over look with fitted dresses. This one will show everything otherwise.
Grey Watts Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Very thick and heavy material!
Basically felt like an actual coat, not something to wear all day at work. But it fits nicely, looks good, and I received lots of compliments as I quietly sweated underneath!
Herringbone Fernando Coat
cupcakes and cashmere
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Super comfy, high quality, but neckline is kinda odd
It's a high, square cut neckline. I got several compliments, though, so must not have looked as weird to everyone else. Felt luxurious.
Oak Dress
M.M.LaFleur
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Nice shirt; bow/ tie can be a little awkward ...
... especially if you're large chested - it will only enhance that! But otherwise, it was comfy and easy for a casual Friday at work.
Sabine Shirt
Charli
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Pretty average sweaterdress
Perfectly fine option for a more casual day at the office, but nothing special about it. Made of a thin material; sleeves are a bit long.
Fine Gauge Stretch Merino Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Fitted tweed top
Loved this shirt. Would rent again. It's a little short, so wear with a high waisted bottom or something underneath.
Tati Tweed Fringe Top
Greylin
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Flattering, comfy, but color is just a bit "loud"
I worried this dress would be too bodycon, but it has the perfect amount of room/give and is made from a thicker material. The only thing I didn't love was the color. It's neon purple, if such a thing exists.
Dupont Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Nice structured work jacket
I just didn't love the giant buttons, and it didn't look very good on me when I buttoned up the entire thing.
Multi Tweed Jacket
kate spade new york
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
Runs a bit baggy but comfortable; v-neck is a bit deep, may require another layer underneath
Pretty print, super easy and comfortable. Just runs a little big (I think it's intentionally designed to be baggy) and may need a camisole underneath if you don't want cleavage to show.
Floral Faux Wrap Top
Scotch & Soda
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36C
A true wrap dress - be mindful if wearing to an office or somewhere conservative!
Didn't realize that this is truly one sheet of fabric that wraps around you - I may not have rented it for the office. That said, I wore it anyway and made it through the day without flashing anyone. The wrap/tie are strong enough to stay put, more or less. If you went outside on a breezy day, however, it might be another story ...
