Great work dress
Loved this dress - I wore it to work twice. It fit perfectly, and was figure flattering and comfortable. It also has pockets!

Eurotrip Dress
LOVED the unique print and color of this dress - it's different than anything I've ever worn. The material was light and flowy enough to feel comfortable on a 90 degree day. The dress wrinkled a little in my suitcase but it wasn't a dealbreaker for me.

Not For Me :(
Unfortunately I found this dress to be very unflattering and didn't end up wearing it. I had originally rented the SR and MR, but the SR was unavailable shortly before my event date. The MR was too large all over, especially at the top, and the way the seam hit at the waist was really unflattering and made me look bigger than I am. I wish the SR had been available because I loved the color of the dress - it's more vivid in person than in photos. Definitely go with the smaller size if you're between sizes.

Basic Cocktail Dress with Interesting Back Design
Overall, I liked this dress. Fit true to size for me. It was conservative enough for a family wedding but interesting enough that I didn't feel dowdy or boring. There's lots of structure in the bust and I didn't need to wear a bra. The color was a little darker than I expected and definitely purple, not blue. The dress is a little hard to put on (need to do hair and makeup AFTER putting on the dress) and the side zipper is a challenge -- I needed my husband's help.

Complicated, but ultimately loved this
I sized up based on other reviews - I'm normally a small in tops (4/6) and sized up to an 8. The 8 provided enough coverage in the bust and was a little big in the shoulders and arms, but not a dealbreaker. It took me several tries to wrap and tie this in a way that looked right, but I finally figured out a way to make it work. I loved the color and the fact that it's a crop but isn't too short.

Cute and cozy fall sweater
I wore this on Thanksgiving with black pants and it was a perfect fall look (unfortunately the only pic I have, I'm wearing an apron lol). Loved the sleeves and the button detail. It's a true turtleneck but the neck isn't annoying, restrictive, or itchy like some turtlenecks can be. Would definitely rent again!

So tiny - size up!
Wish I sized up for this one - the color and style are great but I couldn't leave the house in it. I'm usually a size small on top and have a short torso. I rented the small and it was too tight everywhere -- I'm not large chested but I was falling out in the bust. On the model, this top ends right above the belly button, but on me it ended about an inch below the bustline. Even with high-waisted pants it was way too revealing.

Fit like a glove!
This is the perfect summer dress. Can be dressed up or down - I wore it with sneakers for a casual look. It's a little low cut and hits several inches above the knee so keep that in mind if you're looking for something modest. I wish I could buy this one!

Love the print!
This is an adorable shirt but I found that it ran a bit small. I’m usually a small in tops and this gapped a little in the bust and was super tight in the arms. That said, it fit fine in the waist and the length was perfect to pair with high waisted jeans. I think if I sized up, it would have been too long and boxy on my short torso. The print is cute and I received a lot of compliments!

Perfect LBD!
I wore this dress for a dinner date and I loved it. The length is modest but the slit makes it really sexy. The dress had enough structure to hold everything in, and enough support up top that I didn’t need to wear a bra. The bust is fairly low cut and the back is a racerback so finding the right bra would have been tricky. Would definitely rent again!

Cute maxi with a retro feel
I rented this for a bridal shower at a winery and loved it. Easy to dress up or down. I'm between a small and a medium, and the medium had good coverage in the bust for me (32D). Length was also fine for my height (I wore wedges). Loved the color palette - there are a lot of accessories that would match.

Didn't work for me
Very cute dress but it didn't work for my body type. I'm an hourglass with a short torso and this was too revealing in the bust and too loose in the waist. It ended up making me look larger than I am and I also felt way too exposed up top. Just didn't work for my proportions! I'd recommend it for someone with a longer torso and either a smaller chest or someone who doesn't mind showing off a little :)

Beautiful dress, unforgiving fabric
I love the look and style of this dress. However, the pink fabric is super unforgiving! The dress fit me really well (yay adjustable straps!) and I even had some give in the waist, but the pink part showed everything - including the outline of my belly button - which was less than flattering. The red fabric is thicker and I wish the dress was made entirely out of that kind of fabric. That said, I still really liked the dress. The color blocking is unique and interesting, and it was comfortable.
