Easy, Airy, and Cute
It didn’t look very impressive on the hanger, but I loved it as soon as I put it on. The fit is definitely boxy, but it drapes nicely because the fabric is light and thin. I ordered my usual size small and it fit as expected. The sleeves hit at a 3/4 length on me, which I actually liked. I don’t understand how they appear full-length on the model—who is likely a lot taller than me.

Perfect Red
Light, airy, and incredibly soft. I didn’t find it too sheer—it worked well with a nude bra. My usual size small fit nicely with a bit of extra room. The color is beautiful and very flattering. It looked good with both light and dark blue denim. Unfortunately, it started to pill under the arms after the first wear.

Super Comfortable
I have been wearing these jeans non-stop and find them as comfortable as my joggers and sweatpants. Not too rigid and not too thin- they just feel so good! If I were to purchase them (which I am seriously considering) I would hem them at least 2 inches. If I don't cuff them, it looks like I am wearing my boyfriend's jeans- baggy and shapeless because you can't see the barrel shape. I wear 28 in Jcrew and Levi's jeans , and these are true to size for me.

Not Great for Bigger Bust
Excellent quality and very flattering in every way except for how high the smocked waist was on my torso. It was right under my bust, giving very busty milkmaid look. I would’ve loved it if I were a B cup or smaller.

Amazing Top
Size small fit perfectly, though it was more form-fitting and not as loose as on the model. I really appreciated that the buttons did not gape at all. It was very comfortable due to the slight stretch in the fabric. It was the best top to wear in hot humid days. Looked great with all types of white and light blue pants and shorts. I was very tempted to purchase it.

Not a Flattering Fit for Small Bum
Size small fit well on my waist. I loved the sweet color and the front looked ok. However, the back of the shorts were super unflattering because I couldn't fill it out. There was lots of extra fabric and the embroidery stuck out, creating a diaper-like effect.

Inky Blue and Stretchy
This is my second renting these amazingly comfortable and flattering jeans. I wore them with ankle boots a few months ago and with sandals this time. I'm consistently size 28 in Levi's and J.Crew Jeans. I sized down to 27 as per other reviews and they were perfect. I am 5' 5" and they come down to about 2 inches above my ankles.

Easy and Feminine
Size small fit comfortably loose on me, and I had no trouble buttoning it over my bust (34D). The fabric is airy and slightly sheer. I wore it with a nude bra, but I’d probably wear a camisole for work because you can see my torso. It’s very soft, and the color is a bit paler in person than it appears online. I’m looking forward to renting it again when it’s warmer and I can style it with shorts.

Too Tight in Bust
I rented Size 4. I could zip it but it was way too tight for my bust (34D). It gave me side boobs and the back stretched unflatteringly. The rest of the dress fit beautifully, so I would say it's TTS and would highly recommend it to smaller busted. women. I love that skirt is not too crazy full like some of the dresses I've rented recently, so you can wear it casually. It is on the heavy side so not for the hottest days.

Girly Preppy
The colors are happy and vivid- makes me feel like a character in a Wes Anderson movie. Slim fit as described. Size 1 fit fairly close to my body yet thankfully not too tight for my bust (34D). The length is just perfect for front-tucking or not. Looks good with both jeans, work trousers and even shorts. It came new with tags and was a little rough on the skin at first. I've worn it three times and it feels a little softer now. My boyfriend really liked it, maybe because it reminds him of his numerous blue striped polo shirts, lol.

Pretty But Dressier Than Expected
Size small fit me perfectly and it was a very flattering cut. I didn't wear it, however, because the full skirt made it a little too fancy and formal for every day, or even for a date night. It felt like a dress I would wear to a graduation or work party.

I loved it as soon as I put it on. The rich gorgeous color, the softness, the length…all just perfect. It is warm but not heavy. Every time I looked in the mirror, I would literally stop and stare at how good I looked, lol. I had to buy it and now it is the best sweater I have ever owned.

No Surprises
These were very reminiscent of the kind of pants I wore all the time years ago- low rise and a little stretchy. I don’t think the style is flattering on me anymore (in my 50’s) but It was fun to wear a few times. Very pretty reddish brown color. My usual jean size 28 fit comfortably.

Easy and Feminine
This top was more sophisticated than I expected. The scalloped collar and hem are sweet but not little-girly. It has a tight crochet type of weave. I wore a nude bra and nothing showed. I am a size 4, 34D and small fit just the way I wanted- relaxed but not oversized. Yes it has a boxy cut but it’s soft and has some weight so it drapes nicely. Probably won’t wear it on a date night but it was perfect for the office. It looked best with straight, not wide, pants. I’m going to try wearing it open over a tank top or slip dress before returning.

Nice Casual Pants
The best thing about these pants was the fabric which was soft and light, almost like linen. Definitely for warmer weather. I got my usual size (28) and the waist felt a little tight. I was disappointed that they did not look as wide-legged on me (at 5' 5") as they appear on the model.

Gorgeous Green
The color, shape, and texture of this bag somehow look perfect with almost every look, from the most casual to dressy. It has a fair amount of structure so you could potentially put a ton of stuff in it. However, the magnetic closure is tiny and doesn't stay closed if the bag is full. I still enjoyed carrying it and will rent again.

Wear Everywhere Dress
I bought this dress after renting it twice. It’s 100% cotton so it feels cool in the heat and doesn’t cling to the body. I wear 4 or small in most American labels and size 2 in this dress fits just right. The cutouts are right under the bust line and gathered to create a flattering nipped in waist look. It’s a simple silhouette but expensive looking due to the high quality fabric and details. It’s a quietly sexy dress that may not get you compliments from strangers but I’ve worn it to dinner, concerts, and for just walking around the city and whoever I am with will always say “great dress!”

Happy Color!
The yummy lavender color is surprisingly neutral and goes with everything. Oversized as pictured. I normally wear 4 or small and rented size 40. The top half looked good because the arms are TTS but the extra fabric at the bottom half looked a little sloppy when zippered. It's fairly thin and not very warm. Good on its own for low 50s or with a down vest underneath for colder days.

Really Small and Thin
I sized up to medium and it was still really tiny. It did fit but it was unflattering especially for my bust because the material was so thin and didn't hold anything in. It feels like one of those extra-thin thermal undershirts. It is still a very pretty top and I think it would work well for thin petite women.

Light and Breezy Prettiness
The most gorgeous print! Looks just like the photos. Silky soft and lightweight (but not sheer). Was comfortable to wear in low 80's weather. I'm a size 4 in most things and Small fit me perfectly, maybe a tad less voluminously than on the model. Looks great tucked in or out, with jeans and shorts. I loved the 3/4 sleeves with elastic that was wide enough to let me push them up without being too tight. I wore it 3 times in one week. Would love to buy it one day.

Pretty and warm
I selected one size smaller than normal and it fits me similar to the way it looks on the model- not too crazy oversized. There was still plenty of room for my heaviest sweater. Walked around for hours in 35 degree weather and was comfortably warm. I like that it's relatively light and the length covers my butt. The color is understated and looks great with blue and black jeans.

Flattering well made jeans
These fit me tts. Perfectly slim and straight. The seams in the front are subtle but added to the lux look. The frayed hem looked great over boots and sneakers. I loved them so much I kept them the entire month and obsessively considered buying. I did end up buying a new pair from the brand's website on sale.

Well made but very large
Size 1 fit me like a very large man's jacket. The picture doesn't look so bad but the stomach area pooched out due to extra fabric and I couldn't fit the sleeves in any coat. I think it would look more flatteringly oversized for people who are size 8 to 12 or maybe taller than me. I did love wearing it around the house because it's amazingly comfortable. The lining is made of some type of magically soft and light fleece-like fabric that was warm but not hot. The print and leather details are beautiful. I will definitely try the smaller size.

Tight in the chest
I normally wear size 4 but sized down to 2 because I was worried about the dress being too voluminous. Turned out I couldn't zip the dress because my boobs were too big and there's no stretch in the back like some similar sundresses I've rented recently. The rest of the dress fit perfectly. Nice cotton fabric for hot weather.

It is a peplum top at a crop length which is a very odd combination. The upper part of the top was very flattering and I was tempted to wear it for Zoom meetings, but it was just unbearably short.

Comfortable and Flattering
I've had this sweatshirt for a week and I keep looking for an excuse to put it on as often as possible. I am size 4 in most tops and Small fit me perfectly loose without being oversized. I like the length as well- it hits about 2 inches below my hipbone and looks great with all of my jeans and joggers. The fabric is medium weight and soft.

Well made. Gorgeous colors.
I sized up based on reviews because I have a large bust. There was plenty of room in size 6 and probably my normal size 4 would have been more flattering if I was wearing it out, but since I rented it for zoom meetings I was perfectly happy with it. Drapes very nicely and the sleeves are just the right amount of balloony. The colors and the ruffled front looked fabulous on the screen. Will rent again in my normal size.

Happy Pants
I tried to wear these leggings as often as possible during the two weeks I had them. So cheery and comfortable! The fabric is on the light side (lets breeze in) and probably does not have as much compression as serious workout leggings, but felt nice and soft on my skin. I am a size 4 in most clothing but like to wear medium or large leggings. Medium fit perfectly.

Flattering Color
The color is spectacular in person and in video meetings. The neckline is really wide which makes the sweater surprisingly sexy but I had to watch for bra straps showing. The shape is boxy but slouchy in a good way and not stiff. I'd give it five stars if it wasn't on the scratchy side. It's not unbearable but it's just not soft and comfortable enough for me to enjoy wearing it all day long.

The boxy cut and the stripes made me did make me look larger. However, once I put it on I did not want to take it off. It was one of the most luxurious feeling clothing I've ever had on my body. It has just the right weight to drape nicely. I wore it many times. Worth renting.

Love and Hate the Tassels
Really cute, outfit-making bag in a beautiful color. It is truly a large coin purse and can hold more than you think due to the large flat bottom. The braided handle and the tassels make the bag special and expensive looking. However, the tassels tended to stick straight out horizontally unless I tucked them in and carried the bag in a certain way to make them fall downward.

This is the very definition of a boxy jacket. I liked the color and it felt like it would be very warm. It was unfortunately too boxy and bulky on me. Every time I tried it on and looked in the mirror, I reminded myself of a football player.
