Stunning!
I paired this top with black velvet trousers for a holiday party. If you're flat chested, this is NOT the top for you. Even as a C cup, it was a little loose up top. Overall, very comfortable and got lots of compliments.

Wealthy widowed painter vibes
It's hard to describe what makes this top so special. One thing, it does run very large. I wore a Medium and it was still long enough that I could have worn it with leggings. BUT, this top is so flattering, so well made, it's the kind of thing you could wear your entire life. I wish I could keep it but that price tag is HEFTY.

Such an interesting piece
Loved this one! I wound up wearing it to work and then a happy hour afterwards. I paired it with a jean jacket and some white platform sneakers. One thing: the fabric is slippery and lightweight, so you'll need to be on high alert if it's a windy day.

Kind of itchy and runs small
This dress is really pretty, but it's itchy and runs small. It's well made though, would rent again in the correct size.

SO SO small. Size up, and maybe once more
This shirt was beautiful and well made. I so wanted to love it, but I literally could not even get it on my body. It is SO small.

Nothing special
These jeans were alright. I went up to 31 because my 30's have been too tight lately. I was DROWNING in these. Definitely go down a size if you're in between. They're perfectly fine jeans otherwise.

Simple and perfect
This dress is so well made, I wish I could've kept it. It looks so simple, and that's what makes it extraordinary. It's simple, comfortable, well made. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I wanted to love this
I really wanted to love this dress, but something about it was just off. The sleeves and shoulders were so uncomfortably tight. The dress is an awkward length; too long to wear as a cute casual tee shirt dress, but not long enough to look as if it's supposed to be that way. Might work for another tall and narrow shouldered person, I returned without wearing it.

I honestly wish I could buy this dress
As others have said, the tie is a bit odd BUT that wasn't what surprised me. It's the fact that there isn't any specific tie on either side of the dress to tie. It's just basically a tent's worth of flowing fabric. I found it surprisingly difficult to pair with shoes. However, it is SO comfortable. I'm debating buying this one because I love it so much.

Wore to work, nothing special
This dress wasn't anything special, but it was comfortable for a day of work. The waistline is the most structured part of the dress, and the gold stitching was a bit rough/itchy. Overall, might would rent again, but probably only for work.

Photos don't do it justice
This shirt is so comfortable, so versatile. I wore it so many times and wanted to buy it. The photos truly don't do it justice. My top button kept trying to pop open on me, but I made that work.

LOVED, but not made to be flattering
This dress is so cool. I wore it multiple times and ways: To work, to an expensive dinner, out with friends. This dress is so cool. It will hang on you like a bag just like it does on the model. So, keep that in mind. Then, wear it anyway because it is so comfortable and fun to wear!

Did not wear
The shoulders are too ridiculous alongside how loud the dress print is. I took one look at myself and laughed and put it right back in the garment bag.

A bit short and fabric is a little thin
I really like this dress. I paired it with a jean jacket for work and then without for drinks with friends after work. I'm pretty short, so I thought it would be okay, but I was constantly pulling it down at work. I would rent again, but only for fun occasions. Overall, it was really fun and flattering.

The fabric is a really solid knit. I can't explain how flattering this dress is.

Really flattering
I loved this dress, but I'd size up if you're in between sizes. I had trouble getting the zipper all the way up, so I had to pair the dress with an outer layer to cover it up.

This might be the least flattering dress ever made
First of all, the drop waist will accentuate any flab you possess. Steer clear if you don't have washboard abs (for reference, I teach at Pure Barre and it still gave me a pooch that made my bf laugh out loud). Secondly, it runs VERY short. The lace layer around the bottom isn't lined, so the gray is where the dress stops covering your business.

Just don't wear it on a windy day
The skirt sort of folds over itself, creating that cool wrap look. BUT it's not tacked down at all, meaning if the wind catches you, you will flash your no-no zone to anyone passing by. I learned this the hard way

Needs tights or something underneath
So, two things made this dress not a 5 star for me. 1) it was SOOO static clingy. I tried everything and this dress just clung to me like saran wrap. But the main problem was 2) I ordered a large, and I'm pretty short at 5'4", and the front of this dress fell so short on me I had to wear tights. Even then, I felt inappropriate for work. Borderline worried I was going to flash someone in this thing.

Just Not Great
It runs a bit small, so if you are in between sizes, I would go up. As other have said, this is a silky, almost shiny top, in cream and army green. There is no other way to put it: I looked like a circus employee in this. Clearly, it worked for a few others, but it wasn't for me.

This sweater is lightweight and the sleeves are a little short, but that aside, this was such a run rental to wear! It's very comfortable and goes with everything

Runs small
This is a cute top and I wanted to wear it to work and dinners, etc. But it runs very small, esp in the arms. I would size up!

These were stunning. As per my picture, I paired them with a bright orange dress, and I received compliments all night. I didn't want to return them! They were not too heavy for wearing all evening. Highly recommend.

Rehearsal Dinner on a beach
I did not receive my original size requested (M) and therefore had to wear the only size sent (L). It was alright, but would have been far cuter in the Medium as the Large simply drowned me. Nonetheless, it's a very cute dress, and very comfortable. I recommend going true to size if you can. Also worth mentioning that it might be a little short on taller girls. I am 5'4" and the L hit right above my knees.

Beach Wedding in Punta Mita, Mexico
I wore this to a beach wedding in Mexico. I got compliments all night. However, as others have stated, the lining of this dress is VERY tight. Even in my backup larger size, I could barely get the lining over my hips, and then the dress itself was like a potato sack on me. I ultimately wore the 6 as the dress itself was a better fit, and rolled the lining up around my waist. Far more comfortable that way! 4 stars only for the lining issue.
