Caveat renter if you're over 5'6
This dress is super cute and fun, but it was too short for me to wear in public. Even the sleeves were shorter than wrist length, so it almost felt like it was meant to be a petite size. I sized up hoping I'd get some extra length, but no luck. Would be great if it was a bit longer - the rest of the dress fit fine and the print is so pretty.

Comfy cozy
This is super warm and cozy with nice big pockets. Good casual dress for everyday. Not much shape to it so it's not terribly flattering but it is very comfortable. The only downside is the stitching at the bottom doesn't have any stretch to it, so if you're taller or have a booty it's a little tight to walk/rides up.

Warning to anyone semi tall
This dress is so cute and I thought it would be a great casual everyday piece, but it was way too short in the back. If you're at all tall or have a butt, do not rent. It was too short to be wearable unfortunately.

Cute and cozy!
Rented this for a ski weekend. It's so soft and cozy. I got a ton of compliments. It's comfortable enough to wear with yoga pants but also looks fancy enough to dress up. I'd definitely rent again.

Fun and comfortable dress
I really enjoyed wearing this dress. The 6 fit me comfortably enough that it didn't feel too short or tight. The wrap/ruching detail at the waist is super flattering. The sleeves are definitely bold - my boyfriend was not a big fan but I thought they were an interesting detail. I'd rent again for a girls night out or bachelorette party.

Great work dress with interesting detail!
I wore this for a job interview with a black blazer, tights, and boots. I loved that it was a little more interesting that a plain dress, and the collar detail looks even better without a blazer. If you plan to wear a blazer, the sleeves are a little longer and bunched up a bit. I'd totally rent again to wear alone.

Cute and cozy!
I really loved this sweater. I wore this french tucked into a pencil skirt. Probably would've been fine with a small but I was definitely going for the oversized look. So soft and cozy and I got a ton of compliments. I really like the hint of neon in the trim. Would rent again and would be tempted to buy!

Rented this for work and wore it a couple times. Could also dress it up for going out. Loved the details/pockets and contrasting black collar.

Fancy office pirate vibes
I really liked this top and got a ton of compliments when I wore it to work. The peplum is super flattering. It definitely looks velvet in person, which doesn't show as much in the picture, so it's a thicker fabric and good for cold weather. I would definitely rent again - I kind of felt like a pirate in a good way. There's a side zip to get it on - there's no stretch in the fabric. The medium fit me great, so I'd suggest sizing up if between sizes.

Perfect leather jacket
I loved this so much that it's the first Update item I've kept for a second month. It fits me perfectly and is the ideal weight to wear in Southern California in the fall/winter. Looks great with everything I've worn with it and can be dressed up or down. I'm tempted to buy.

Fun LBD for work
I wore this for my office holiday party. I got a ton of compliments on it. The dress fits well and the bottom pleats add an interesting detail to an otherwise simple dress. I felt like the bottom of the dress wasn't pressed correctly, since the bottom in the back and front hung a little unevenly, but I don't think this was really noticeable.

More interesting that your basic blazer
I like that this had a subtle pattern on the navy. I wore this for work and out to dinner. It runs pretty big. It's unlined and didn't feel as tailored or high quality as some other blazers. More fun than a plain black or navy blazer but still professional.

Bold and comfortable
I rented this to wear to Thanksgiving dinner. I loved the color - it's more of a golden yellow color than orange, but great for fall. It's super comfortable but i thought it ran slightly big.

Pretty print and color
I wore this top under a black suit for a work event. I really like the color and print and would rent again for a holiday-type event. It is on the shorter side, so I'd recommend wearing with something higher waisted. Very comfortable and more fun than a solid colored blouse. I'm glad I went with the medium instead of a small, so I'd suggest going for the bigger size if you're debating between sizes.

Very cute but a little short
I thought this dress was really cute and flattering, but it felt a little too short for work. I was constantly pulling the bottom of the dress down. I'm a bit on the taller side, so it might work better for someone shorter if you're looking for something professional. It's stretchy, but I'm glad I went with the medium. I wouldn't want it to have been super form fitting on top of being short, so size up if you're worried about that. Otherwise I thought it was very cute and got tons of compliments.

Comfortable and professional dress for work
I found this dress ran a little big. It's very stretchy, and I think a smaller size would have fit better and been more flattering. The slit is totally conservative enough for work and doesn't show any cleavage. My biggest problem was the dye in the dress had turned my armpits purple when I took it off, so I felt like this was an indication that the quality was off. Fine for a conservative work dress but I probably wouldn't rent again.

Conservative dress for work
This ran at least a full size too big. The color is a gorgeous forest green, but I wasn't happy with the fit. I think I would've liked it more in a smaller size. Good conservative dress for a more formal business event, but nothing special.

Dress up or down
This dress is super cute and I got a ton of compliments. I could dress it up enough for the office or going out, but also casual enough to wear with sneakers on the weekend. And it has pockets! My only problem was that the waist hit a little high on me.

Gorgeous and flattering
I wore this dress for an outdoor rehearsal dinner and got a ton of compliments. The off the shoulder sweetheart neckline is super flattering, but a little lower cut than I usually do. I kept adjusting the neck line to make sure my bra wasn't showing. The slit wasn't too high, and the fit was true to size. The fabric is pretty stretchy.

Great for work or weekend!
I loved this blazer. Worked great for the office but the athletic trim made it cute to wear with more casual stuff. Sleeves were similar to a bomber jacked, and I loved the high-low cut. I'm very tempted to buy it!

Good for summer weekends
I got this as one of my Update items and wore it on the weekends a few times. Casual enough to wear with a t-shirt or whatever but still nice enough to wear out to dinner. It's not too short but not long enough to wear to work on a casual Friday. I hadn't noticed the scalloped seams along the sides in the pictures which added a cute detail.

I wore this to work and out for after work drinks a few times. It's super comfortable and flattering. The fabric is nice and thick. Looks cute on its own or dressed up with a blazer. I would totally rent again.

Fun statement dress
Wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner. The color is bright - more neon that I was expecting from the picture, but I actually loved it. I got a ton of compliments and loved the ruffle at the bottom. The four fit perfectly. Only problem was the ruffle would ride up a bit after sitting, so I'd have to pull it back down but otherwise great. And I loved that I could wear this with a regular bra. Would rent again for sure!

Super cute for work
Got a ton of compliments on this blazer. It's a boxy fit and I should have done a size smaller, but it unfortunately wasn't available. The back is satin and front is linen, which added a nice detail.

Gorgeous dress!
Fit was true to size, but there's zero stretch to the dress so bending down was a challenge. I wore this to a bridal shower and got so many compliments. The color is a gorgeous jade green.
