Weird proportions but fabulous
I wore this to night one of my bachelorette party and it was a huge hit. The fit was a little strange—I don’t think a large-busted person could wear it, and it was a little long-waisted on me. The tag flipped up in the back. It was perfect for dancing with my friends but I don’t think it’s the easiest piece to wear in public (had one wardrobe malfunction — the front clasp was a little finicky and the top fell off once.)

Great pattern and perfect fit. Super easy for summer
I felt great and got a ton of compliments wearing this top. The fit is perfect -- loose without being baggy or unflattering. Just recommend wearing a tank or cute bra underneath because the sleeve holes are low. The pattern is so fun and easy to style for work or a weekend day. I am actually considering buying the top so I can keep it in rotation!

Perfect easy summer day dress -- casual office friendly
This dress is great! The subtle leopard is really fun -- a less drab way of wearing a safari silhouette. The linen has been especially nice during this heatwave. It's a little too roomy, and definitely runs large, so order down if you want to look more polished. I'd also recommend wearing bike shorts or a slip for more formal offices -- the slit is a little flirty, but not inappropriate. It's a great dress for a casual office!

Great cut, runs big and wrinkles easily
The top looks great on, but was a little roomier than I expected. I loved the cut of the top, and found it really flattering. I just wish the material were slightly thicker, because it wrinkled the second I put it on and the hem flipped up where it hit my body. Definitely more of a weekend top than an office top, and better for barbecues than a night out.

Corin Denim Top
3x1
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 120lbs
Bust: 32B
Great pattern, easy to wear
These pants are a lot of fun and ideal to wear to work on a hot, sticky day when you don't want any fabric touching you. The material is nice enough that they don't look too casual, and they can be easily dressed up or down. I thought they might be a little more casual, but because of where they hit me on the leg, I feel like I need to wear heels to make the pants flattering. I will probably hang onto them and wear again before returning.

Fringey details didn't show up in the picture
I didn't end up wearing this bag -- the fringe details and wrap around detailing on the strap are not my style and they weren't obvious from the photo. Great size and shape but unexpected details may not be everyone's cup of tea

Interesting but not for me. Also runs very small.
Overall cute for someone else but not my style. Additionally, the fit was super snug in the shoulders and the fabric of the non-lace parts felt a little cheap and synthetic.

Large. Order a size down.
This skirt was too big on me - would recommend ordering down. Also requires a slip underneath since it’s a wraparound style.

Not flattering on me, but the sleeves are lovely.
The dress is beautiful on the hanger but on my it looked a little bit like a sack. The shape does nothing for my figure (specifically makes my hips look a little wide). I love the arms and details around the neckline, and I wanted the neckline to be a bit more square. Also shorter than I expected. Overall: cute for someone else but not as special as I was hoping for.

The fabric of the dress feels amazing and drapes beautifully!
This dress was a really fun rental and I got a lot of compliments both times I wore it (to work, and to a day of birthday parties). The fabric is incredible -- it's a textured cotton that feels light, airy, and flowy. I was surprised by how nice it felt and looked -- it's the perfect dress for a hot summer day in the city. I loved how the dress draped on me, and found the floral pattern to be more beautiful than I expected up close -- it's pretty hard to see, so it looks a little boring from far away. The neckline plunges a bit, so I wouldn't recommend it for a work day without a cami or slip underneath. The elastic sleeves are fun but did leave some marks on my arms when I tried to wear them a little longer/ less "puff-sleeved". Overall I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to try out the "prairiecore"/ Batsheva-esque look!

I loved wearing this dress — I felt good inside and out. So many compliments, too!
The dress fit my (sometimes tricky) body shape well, though the middle needed a loose belt tied around it to avoid a pooch from the extra fabric. The length was perfect and it was surprisingly comfortable to both sit in the office and run around town.

Not great, but not terrible. A bit unflattering on a shorter frame.
This dress is great in pictures, but it's a tough fit. I was grateful to have other options, since I couldn't have worn this with confidence. The dress fits trueish to size, if not a little bit snug/ small. The dress fit totally fine but I felt like the liner was visibly bunchy/ unsmooth, which was unflattering. I'm a pretty small person (5'4" and a size 2/4, or 26/27) but not a teeny person, and I think this dress would better fit someone tall and lanky, or SUPER petite with narrow shoulders/ hips. I have proportional shoulders and hips with a defined waist and I somehow looked like a linebacker in this dress. The material is also very thick, which I hadn't expected. FYI for summer / spring rentals.

I have never gotten so many compliments on a dress. Super flattering cut and color, weird materials.
Overall, the dress is fantastic-looking and comfortable, but has some small structural/ quality issues. It was the perfect choice for a springtime wedding where I knew I'd want to dance. People of all ages went out of their way to compliment the dress, from the sidewalks of Brooklyn to the train at Grand Central, to the event itself. I mostly can't complain. Pros: - flattering cut - GREAT color - interesting design without being busy - feminine -- but current, not cutesy - shows skin without being revealing - mostly very comfortable for a long day/ night of travel + wedding Cons: - as other renters have mentioned, the tan slip has a very thick, plasticky, uneven hem. it didn't change the silhouette of the dress really, it was just weird-feeling. mostly ignorable, but worth noting. it didn't ride up as much as feared. -the lace was starting to tear away from the slip on the sides of the bustline, near the armpits. looked like there were a few popped stitches that hadn't been fixed, so the lace was gaping a bit on one side of my chest until we fixed it with a small safety pin.
