Fabulous and comfy!
Wore these to work three weeks in a row - they are a wonderful color, drape beautifully, and are insanely comfortable. The only con is that they start to sag a little by the end of the day.

Too off-the-shoulder for work
Love the color and super comfy, but it has a very wide neckline so it didn't feel super appropriate for work. Much better for a casual setting.

Terrible fit!
I would give these zero stars if I could! They profess to be over the bump style, but the band barely came up to my belly button, then immediately rolled down. The band is somehow tight feeling, and yet the pants are also falling off. I don't think it's a size issue - I typically wear an 8 in most designer brands and I rented the M. I think they're just made by someone who does not remotely understand a pregnant body. They're also more like ankle-length on me than capris, but I'm only 5'3" so that's somewhat to be expected.

Want to look 8 months pregnant? Here's your dress!
I REALLY wish I had remembered to take a pic in this dress, just for good laughs. The knot makes the dress fall in such a way that I literally looked 8 months pregnant. My husband almost peed his pants laughing. I don't know if it's just where the knot hit on me or what, but it was completely unwearable. But in a hilarious way.

Wrinkles too much to be wearable
My photo is after 15 minutes in the car. I actually went home and changed, it was so bad. Don't expect to be able to wear this shirt in a professional environment and be even a little bit wrinkle-free.

Didn't wear - hideously unflattering
I know they say DVF wrap dresses are great on every figure - but that's a crock. This was my third attempt at finding a good one and it was as much as failure as my last two tries. The belt never hits me at the right spot, so I look even shorter than usual and it emphasizes my belly pooch. Hard pass.

Amazing formal but easy-to-wear dress
I rented this dress to wear to the opera. I'm usually a 6-8 but rented the 12 based on reviews, which fit perfectly (I think it was because it was European sizing but it was awhile ago so I may be remembering wrong). I am OBSESSED with this dress. It clung in all the right spots, very sexy but still very classy. Hid my belly pooch even without spanx because the material is very thick (which was rough since it was 95 degrees out the night I wore it, but still totally worth it).

Beautiful, easy-breezy dress for my honeymoon
I rented this dress with my unlimited subscription so I could take it with me on my honeymoon. I wore it probably 5 times - I absolutely loved it! The straps are adjustable, so I was able to shorten it up enough to avoid stepping on it. (I'm 5'3" and even the petite was on the long side.) I wore it with a sticky bra or without a bra at all. Super comfy, super breathable, an all-around hit.

Very flattering shirt, definitely runs big
I rented this shirt to wear to work on my birthday. I'm typically a medium in most shirts and the small fit perfectly, so it definitely runs large. The shape was really flattering - fitted around the waist, with broader shoulders and a nice drape at the chest - and made me look thinner than I am. The pink is a little dustier than it looks in the model photos. I'll definitely be renting this again down the road.

The perfect blazer - I'm obsessed!
I'm so in love with this blazer. It easily dresses up or down and the vertical stripes are super flattering for my "I'm a little teapot" body. I love not having to roll up the sleeves because they're pre-scrunched. The sleeves do run a tiny bit tight - I can't lift my arms past chest level in it. But I don't even care, I want to keep it forever. Planning at least one more wear before I send it back.

Pretty blouse - needs cami for work!
I rented this shirt to wear to work as part of my Unlimited subscription. At first, I felt a little pirate-y in the sleeves (probably a length issue - they hit me a tiny bit lower than they do on the model in the pics because I'm short), but I got over it and the look really grew on me. This shirt is VERY sheer and I'm not sure I'd even wear it to the bar without a camisole underneath, let alone to work. I paired it with jeans and a long necklace and got lots of compliments. It fit really nicely and didn't wrinkle much at all. Overall, I'd probably rent again.

Perfect work-to-dinner dress!
I loved everything about this dress. It was super comfortable, fit like a glove, and hid my pudgy middle section. I'm 5'3" and it hit me right at the knee. It was perfectly work appropriate for my business casual environment, and transitioned well to a nice dinner out. My only tiny nitpick would be that the zipper up the back didn't quite lay flat - it bunched up a little. But I definitely plan on renting again!
