Beautiful, easy to wear top
I have really enjoyed all the items that I've rented from this designer. This top was a beautiful color and pattern and length. I did feel that it was slightly too large and the sleeves were too long.

Beautiful and easy bag!
This bag was perfect for every day. It has a nice divider in the middle and pockets, which make it easy to find things. I used it almost every day for a few weeks before returning it and it felt like the perfect size for work and play.

Fringe Fun
I really liked the fringe on this coat. It was warm, however, it did not have any sort of closure mechanism (buttons, hooks, zippers, belt, etc) so the wind would get in. Because of this, I felt like I had to hold it closed.

Cute and flirty dress perfect for a hostess
I wore this dress to host a housewarming party recently and loved how it made me look and feel like a perfect hostess. The buttons and collar are a nice touch as are the sleeves. The pink is really bright (almost neon) but it's cute and girly. The length was great for me (I'm 5'10") to not feel too stodgy but also not show too much leg.

Perfect travel bag
I brought this bag with me as my everyday bag for a trip overseas and it was the perfect size. It has an internal zipper pocket as well as a stiff divider that makes it easy to secure and find all your stuff. It was also deep enough that I didn't worry about things falling out or being pick-pocketed and it could even fit a small umbrella. It holds so much!

Perfect for everyday
I loved this coat! It's very comfortable and the pockets are deep. The color and subtle pattern make it easy to pair with almost anything. It's not the warmest, but mine was big enough to comfortably fit a sweater and scarf underneath. Very nice coat!

Beautiful sleeves and pattern
This dress is decent for the pattern and conservative hemline, however, I felt that the neckline was a little low-cut and it was tight around the ribcage. Otherwise the skirt and sleeves are quite cute.

Stunning sparkles!
I really liked this dress and rented it for a few holiday parties I attended. I got many compliments! The sleeves and neckline are fun and warm for the Northeast holiday season. The color is wonderful and vibrant and I loved the sparkles. The ruffles are also perfect at hiding any small tummy bulges. I would say that the top of this dress runs true to size, but the butt/hip area was slightly tight.

Perfect casual bag
I love this bag and the embossed croc pattern it fun! I've been using this bag every day since I got it about a week ago and the only issue I have is that is has no internal pockets. It is literally a "bucket." I like the length of the strap as well as the size, however.

Stunning dress perfect for a black tie wedding
The dress is beautiful and flattering. It has built-in cups in the bust so there is no need to worry about a bra showing. The material is floaty and ethereal and wonderful for dancing at a wedding. Would recommend this dress!

So comfortable and fun!
I love the cut of this dress. The material and lose waistline are very comfortable and flowy. The longer sleeves, hemline, and shawl-collar make it work appropriate and flattering. I would buy it if it wasn't too expensive.

Cozy, roomy, and pockets galore!
As others have mentioned, this coat is large, but that's what makes it cozy and comfortable. It was warm enough without being too bulky and it had so many large pockets I didn't even need a purse. It also has a drawstring waist so you can have the option of not looking as boxy. The only issues I had were a little bit of pilling (not terribly so!) and I wish that the collar was softer and warmer--otherwise a great jacket!

Perfect for the occasion and it has pockets!
This dress fit beautifully; it it just above my stomach so I didn't have to worry about sucking-in in photos. It also has pockets, which was perfect for the event I was hosting so I could have my phone nearby but not have to worry about a purse. The dress is a fun length (covers enough, while still being a little flirty) and the shiny material makes it festive. The way that the skirt puffs out also makes a little bit of a statement.

Compliments from the host!
This dress is very cute! I received several compliments at the first event I wore it to (even from the host!). It's light/cool and comfortable and just long enough. It also has a lined skirt so you don't need to worry about your underwear showing through.

cute and flirty
The dress is very flattering on the waist but runs a little shorter than the photo makes it seem. I'm tall (5'10.5") and a have a protuberant butt... so that's not a great combo for a short and flouncy skirt, but I was able to pull it off by wearing tights. Overall a very cute, flattering, and reasonably comfortable dress.

Bell of the ball
This dress is truly lovely. It made me feel like the bell of the ball and I received many compliments at the black tie gala I wore it to. The dress itself has a full, "swooshy" skirt and the bodice is a little tight but it is beautiful and certainly shows off your waist. The only issue I had was with the arms; they're tight and you really can't reach for things or even put on a jacket without a little help or the right angle. Overall a beautiful dress, if a little limiting. I would wear it again.

Cute shoulders; a classy work look
I wore this dress twice during my rental period for two work events. I received a lot of compliments from my colleagues. This dress is great for work events because it has pockets so you can keep your phone with you while running around, it's an appropriate length, and the puffy shoulders add a nice touch. The material is also thick so you don't need to worry about anything showing.

So many compliments
This dress is beautiful. The lace details and floral motif make it nearly ethereal. The length is great for late summer/early autumn and you don't have to worry about showing too much leg, however, I found that the top part kept slipping down to reveal more breast than I wanted. I felt like I kept having to tug at it to make sure I wasn't too exposed up top.

This dress is a wonderful dark green color. It is pretty form-fitting up top with a nice flair on the bottom. The lace details look wonderful and I got a lot of compliments on it at a formal work event.

Lightweight, airy, and comfortable for every day
As others have said, this dress is huge, but does look decent with a belt. Mine did not come with the belt pictured, but I was able to use one of my own. The material is gossamer; light, airy, and very comfortable for every day wear.
