Quality material, runs small
Super cute dress and loved the thick material… but at 33 weeks, I couldn’t get it zipped up to wear it (despite going with the RTR size reco).

Usual Size: 10

Bust: 36DDD/E
Great structure, love the details
Gorgeous color with great details like the angled sleeves and jacket tails. I would have bought it if the piece wasn't a tad bit on the overused side. Runs slightly large; I probably could have worn the 6 instead of the 8.

Great piece in concept
Runs large. I still wore it with a jacket, to cover the large arm holes. It's really, really cute on but you have to be willing to sacrifice comfort for fashion. In order for the scarf to drape correctly, the material has to be heavy. Because of that, there is continuous pressure around the neck the whole day. I spent most of the day pulling the weight of the scarf away from my neck.

I'm in love with this necklace. Unique design, perfect length, classy.

The best surprise!
I was prepared for this to be too plain and casual for the evening work event I rented it for. Pair it with heels and a statement necklace, though, and it far exceeds expectations! Mind the slit, though, it's pretty high. The event I went to was very trendy so I could get away with it but I wouldn't have worn it to a regular client meeting. FYI, I tried the M but it was too big. The S was a much better fit for my 5'3, 138lb frame.

Interesting cuts
I didn't end up wearing this piece because it wasn't the right fit for the event (evening work event). It was trendy and classy but the way the cuts of the dress fit me weren't quite right.

A new twist for work
This wasn't my favorite rental. I'm broad shouldered and the European cut was a little narrow for me. That and the fabric wrinkled relatively easily (not as bad as linen, but noticeable) which complicates things if you travel for work. However, most of the wrinkles fell out on the hanger and I still wore it for a casual work outing because the detail of the big bow is super cool. Just don't forget to look for the button at the neck, to keep the tie more secure. Wish I would have found that at the beginning of the day vs the end :)

Striped Ascot Tie Blouse
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 142lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Perfect for work
The dress length was quite long on me, and the tuck in at the waist also hit closer to my hips than my waist. A petite size would have been a better option. That said, it was close enough that I still wore it for a client visit and felt confident and professional.

Windowpane Tompkins Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"

Great twist on the LBD
Simple dress but the little details make it - the pop over, the cut out in the back, the silver threads. Perfect office to evening dress.
Black and Silver Popover Sheath
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 142lbs
Bust: 36DD
Classy with a twist
Runs true to size. Very forgiving fabric. Because it's a sheath style with such a high neck, the middle gets a little loose. Perfectly fine for me with my bit of lingering baby weight! The high neck took some getting used to but by the time I finished getting ready and walked out the door, I had forgotten about it.

A closet staple
Going to buy this at some point, with how comfortable and classy it is. Can dress up for work or down for a night out. Got so many compliments!

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10

Pretty and classy
This material is really stretchy but without a lot of structure, so it will show every curve. That said, the fabric color and pattern are very forgiving, and beautiful.

Fuzzi
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"

Bust: 36DDD/E
Classy with interest
The 10R was a little big, especially in the shoulders (I'm usually in between an 8-10). Definitely need a nubra for it, if you're bigger chested. Overall, it's comfortable and classy but not boring - the neckline and back make it unique.

Cool shirt but the sizing is off: I usually wear M or 8-10. Ordered a 12 and it was still too small
Beautiful blue fabric. Though the stretchy fabric on the back makes it look like a less classy piece, IMO.

Pretty in concept
I liked the silhouette but the material was too light for the material on the bared shoulder to hold its shape - it rolled a bit.

Classy with the right around of sass
I adore this dress. The cut outs, the material, the flare... It was a stretch rental for me because it's not my usual style but it's so interesting and unique (without being too trendy) that I loved it. Now, I'm a 36DD so had to tape the ladies up - Nubras don't work for me - but even with that, I'd rent this again.

Sensational dress but be wary of the fit
The structure and detail of this dress are amazing - I felt so glamorous wearing it! There is a lot of stretch to the material but it runs small. I wore my back-up size L and it was still a little tighter than I would have liked it to be. Especially around the rib cage. I made it work, and I got a lot of compliments, but definitely size up.

Perfect cocktail dress with just enough unique detail to stand out.
Fit like a glove, in a good way, which is saying something considering I'm curvy. The pop-over adds a dimension that is forgiving for mom bods.

Classic versatile dress
I loved everything about this dress. The fit is comfortable, the silhouette is classy and the cold shoulder adds just the right about of interest.

I lost count of how many compliments I received on the dress, both the fit and the color!
Plenty of room for a 36DD bust, fitting through the ribs and waist without being too tight. Length was just right on me (5'3" with 3.5" heels) so pending your height and planned heel height, you may want the long. My only complaint is that the material rubbed a bit under the arms. Enough to notice, not enough to make me unhappy with the dress. I ordered an 8 and a 10. I probably could have worn the 8 but the zipper was tough to get over the seam at the waist, and the 10 was probably more comfortable than the 8 was (especially since I still have baby weight in the stomach area).
