I couldn’t wear this to work because it was too low cut. I could see it working for a night out without a bra.

Cute, runs large
You either have to go without a bra or let it show, but other than that, this is a perfect rental. The only things that kept me from buying it were dry cleaning and the fact that it's so memorable.

Gorgeous yellow! It has slots for ID, credit card, and a few bills or similar small items. It holds my iPhone 8+ and AirPods Pro and a lipstick and not much else.

On trend, but smaller than expected
This is cute and very trendy for this summer, but it doesn't hold enough to be a good everyday bag for me, and it wasn't nearly big enough to be a beach bag (which I would have otherwise considered because the material was too scratchy to hold against my body all day). I really wanted to love it. If you don't carry much more than a phone and a wallet, it might work better for you.

Weird color
I don't understand the big deal about Shinola totes. I went with 2 instead of 1 star because the bag is made well and the leather is nice if you like lighter bags, but there are no pockets, the straps don't stay on my shoulder, and the size is a weird in between not big enough for travel or a laptop or whatever but too big to be a smaller purse. This particular color is also a strange cross between orange and pink.

Size up!
I originally rented this in fall/winter as a coat, but I ended up keeping it and wearing it more frequently for ketamine infusions because it's such a great, flexible layering piece when dealing with hospital sensors, blood pressure cuffs, etc.

Don't unzip or unhook it to put it on!!!
It's really tight in the chest, but it's much easier to get on in the first place if you leave it hooked and zipped. I didn't wear it because the chest was too tight to be comfortable and the midi length was at just the wrong spot to be flattering for petites. It's also more of a deep mustard than a bright yellow.

TTS not great for petites but cuuuute
The waist doesn't hit at a good spot for petites (so neither does the open back), but this is a gorgeous, very well made dress. It's cute enough that I still wore it to run errands instead of my brunch date.

ORANGE
I've rented this several times and I never end up using it because it's such a bright orange that just doesn't match anything I own, but it's a great smaller everyday tote. It has middle zip storage that divides the tote into three main sections and smaller interior side pockets. (Too small for a laptop or a carryon, but great for errands, etc.)

So cute and comfortable! Flattering deep orange.
If you're between sizes, go up so there will be room for the sleeves to flutter gracefully instead of pull across the chest/waist. I've rented this several times and love it. The only reason I haven't bought it is that it's dry clean only.

Thin straps, khaki colored, no zipper
I didn't use this bag because the straps were too thin to support the weight of what I wanted to be able to carry, and I didn't like the color. It might be a great everyday bag for someone else, but not for me.

Simple everyday tote with a cute touch

very deep v neck!
I went a size up because mine wasn't available and returned it without wearing because the deep v literally went all the way down my chest. I might try it again because it's the perfect weight for summer, but use caution if you're petite.

on trend for fall!
This is a great everyday tote if you like the color. I expected a bright orange, but it's Dark Cheddar (a yellow-orange that's big this autumn). Pros: on trend, lightweight, roomy. Cons: no top closure, no pockets.

size down!
I think this could work as a drop waist if you're tall! I'm a petite hourglass, so the extra material at the waist was overwhelming. My least favorite details were the ties at the front of the dress at the waist and at the back of the neck. The color is gorgeous and the material is more appropriate for evening than the beach coverup I'd expected. I didn't wear it but if it had arrived before I went on vacation, I probably would have thrown it in my bag in case we went out to dinner.

SIZE DOWN
Size way down! I'm a 12 in outerwear and the medium fit. I'm a petite hourglass and a deep autumn, so this made me look huge and totally washed me out. :( The good news is that it looks exactly like the photo! If you don't mind that the collar doesn't fold more without pulling at the top button, this might be perfect for you.

Hard pass!
I wouldn't recommend these to my worst enemy! They're sheer, the pockets make your hips look wider than they are, and they somehow make vertical stripes look unflattering. (If you need shorts, try the Draper James chambray or the Joie gingham!)

NOT LIME, not so mini!
Bright but solidly yellow. Roomy for crossbody measurements. I didn't use it because I expected a neon lime (included paler yellow, mustard yellow, and golden yellow for comparison), but I'd definitely rent again because the pocket close to your body fits an iPhone and the interior has room for glasses w/case + lipstick, card case, etc.

surprisingly flattering!
I rented this for a beach vacation. I thought it'd be light and comfortable, which it is, but I didn't expect it to be nearly this flattering. I'm hanging onto it until the weather cools down and would rent again in the spring.

I couldn't wear it :(
Pros: Dress is lined and would be easy to wear without a bra. If the dress works for you, it's a steal to buy at the end of the season! Cons: WAY too much fabric for petites. (I rented a regular, so the petite might be worth trying.) The coral is much brighter and less rich than it appears in the photo. (I'm a deep autumn and it washed me out completely.)

UNFLATTERING (but light and cozy!)
I didn't mind the way the fabric hung on top, but the way the waist hits is really unflattering and I don't like the color irl. I'm 5'3" so the pants were too long. On the bright side, the flutter sleeves are super cute, and it's super cozy but still a light summer outfit. I wore it a lot to run around after my nephew, but I felt like I was in a playsuit when I tried to style it to hang out with adults.

SIZE DOWN!
These have a lot of extra fabric in the stomach so they're not particularly flattering, but they're so warm and cozy. I was happy I went down a size based on other reviews. I've rented these twice to wear in the hospital. I personally wouldn't wear them around town until I'm back to my normal weight with a tiny waist, but I disagree with other reviews and like them enough that I'll probably buy them in an XS for winter.

COZY, even when you're not pregnant!
I rented this on a whim even though it's a maternity dress because I love the regular stars sweatshirt. I knew it'd be oversized, but I planned to wear it around the house. I have enough of a butt that it shifts most of the extra fabric to the back, and it's still oversized compared to the regular dress fit, but in an amazingly flattering way. I'm in love and would buy it if everyone wouldn't recognize it as maternity!

pass
It hit me as a drop waist. :( I'm 5'3", so I'm petite and I sized up because I wanted space for clothes/hips, but I didn't expect such an unflattering fit. It's thin but seems like it would be waterproof. I'm not sure because it was so unflattering I didn't wear it out of the house. On the bright side, the gingham is adorable!

Enormous!
Way too big! I sent it back without wearing it out of the house. XL was the only size available and I thought it would work as a pleasantly oversized sweatshirt but I could have easily worn this as a tent dress. The colors were fun but the seams were scratchy. I might rent it in a S or even XS if it's still on trend this fall when I can wear a long sleeve shirt under it.

Soft, light, and comfortable on a hot night!
I was afraid it would be too long because I'm 5'3" (and unflattering because of the flounce on the bottom of the skirt), but I loved this dress. I almost bought it, but it's such a memorable pattern/color that I wouldn't be able to wear it too often. Will definitely rent again!

oh hi this is plus size
Once I realized I'd rented a plus size kimono, it made sense that the "three quarter length" sleeves were full length on me. (I'm petite, so I didn't question it for like two weeks.) It might be TTS but I'm anywhere from a 6-12 right now and it was really big on me. I rented it as outerwear and it worked. I ended up keeping it while I was on a trip as a robe (it didn't come with a sash but I used a ribbon) because it was surprisingly soft for polyester and it stayed dry. I liked it enough that I searched for it online in my size.

My ring size is 7.5 and these were too tight for me to wear for more than a few hours. They're pretty though. They were the perfect finishing touch with the Badgley Mischka pink gown, which is a much deeper raspberry color than it looks online. (My nails are scarlet.)
