Nice work appropriate dress (for the most part)
I wore this dress to a work event and it was almost perfect. The length was great - hit a few inches above my knee so it was appropriate while still fashionable. Same with the overall fit - a baggier cut but the behind the back belt gives it a cute shape. The only complaint I had is the sides of the dress cut very low. The entire side of my bra was exposed. Thankfully I had a black bra so it wasn't super noticeable at a quick glance but I made a conscious effort to not raise my arms above my head the whole night.

Not made for curvy girls
I knew this was going to be a long shot but ordered as part of my unlimited to try on. I ordered up a size then my usual size to accommodate for my hips but still was not working. Sad because the dress is so pretty and a great red color!

Great Valentine's Day dress
Overall the dress is fantastic! Very flattering, thick material so it was great in colder weather. I docked one star because the sleeves are a bit weird. There was way more excess string around the wrists then the picture leads on to...I had to wrap it around my wrists 4-5 times before tying in a bow. It didn't look bad at all just kind of weird.

Great dress for gala!
Loved this dress for a formal gala. I still felt dressed up enough in the sea of long dresses. It's a very flattering cut without it being too tight anywhere to be uncomfortable. Compliments all night!

Not for taller girls
Beautiful jumpsuit and very nice material but the jumpsuit was way too short for my 5'9" frame. I have fairly long torso so it hit me at a very unflattering spot

Flattering fitted dress
Loved this dress! It looked great with booties and a leather jacket. Recommend for taller girls - I am 5'9" and it hit me perfectly below the knees

Cute sweater!
Very cute, oversized sweater. I know it says this is a jacket but rented it to wear to work and it was very hot. A little itchy too so recommend wearing long sleeves under it.

Flattering fit
Cute pants but recommend for taller girls. I'm 5'9" and they hit me about half an inch above the ankle so they looked weird with booties but cute with flats. Flattering, high-waisted fit especially with the drawstrings

Strange fit through hips
The skirt has absolutely no stretch and runs very small in the hips. The waist was fit fine omce I was able to squeeze into it but the skirt was way too tight and I could hardly sit in it. Wouldn't recommend for anyone thay has any hips or thighs.

Cute dress but a little on short side
The dress had a flattering cut but was a little on the short side so wouldn't recommend it for very tall girls.

Great boho dress with detailed embroidery but slip way too small
The dress itself is great - fits true to size and is right amount of baggy for a boho look. Docking one star because the slip underneath is way too small. I'm a consistent size 4 and the slip was skin tight on me. Luckily was able to wear a slip from a different dress I owned to make it work because it's really a cute dress.

Can't rave about this top enough!!
Such a perfect top to dress up or down. Rented as part of my unlimited and got multiple wears out of it. It looks cute tucked in with a skirt to dress up or is long enough to wear with jeans for a more dressed down look.

Pretty dress but weird fit
The dress was very pretty w/ a nice floral detail. However, docking two stars because the top/shoulders fit very strange. There was too much fabric to tie it as seen in the model photo because it bunched up very weird but when left untied, again too much fabric so it kept slipping off my shoulders and became a hassle all night. Would probably work better for someone with a fuller bust who can fill out the fabric more or be prepared to use fashion tape to keep the shoulders in place.

Bright and fun dress, but VERY long
The dress itself is very pretty and perfect for a tropical vacation. The neckline is unique, the color is a very vibrant orange/coral and looks fabulous with a tan. The reason I am docking two stars is because of the length - it is extremely long. For reference, I am 5'8" and rented the XSR after reading reviews that it did run large/long. I was hoping to wear it with flat sandals to be more comfortable but even with 3.5" wedges, the dress still dragged on the ground and it was a bit cumbersome to move around in, especially to dance in. Overall, the dress is pretty be prepared to wear very, very tall shoes so you aren't tripping over it all night.

Great fall jacket
Really cute jacket for fall. Perfect colors for Thanksgiving. Would not recommend for winter for those that live in very cold weather as it is not a very thick jacket. The body of the jacket is true to size for its shape however I felt the sleeves were very short and tight in comparison. Would definitely rent again but will get the 6 so I can wear a bigger sweater underneath for warmth.

Perfect for Labor Day Weekend Outdoor Wedding
Very pretty dress with beautiful lace detail. The colors are perfect - not too vibrant but not too light. I'm normally between a 4 and 6 but the 4 was a bit tight around the arms and too short to comfortably sit down at the ceremony without it riding up (I'm almost 5'8.5" for reference) so recommend ordering a size up for taller, athletic shapes!

AMAZING dress!! Compliments all night
Perfect dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The criss-cross neckline is extremely flattering and the fabric has a bit of a stretch to it so it was very comfortable. It was a little bit longer then I was expecting - I am about 5'8.5" and it hit be right below the knee but it made it feel a little bit dressier so it worked out perfectly. Highly recommend this beautiful dress!! Will definitely be renting again.

Cute dress for BBQ party
Great dress with very cute details including the print and tiered layers. Photos don't do the color justice - it is a very beautiful and vibrant print. My only complaint is the length. I am nearly 5'9" and the dress hit be below the knee. I was expecting it to be above the knee but it still worked well and I was very happy with it.

Great casual dress for a night out
Overall, the dress was great. It was casual but with wedges it was dressy enough to wear to dinner. Runs very large and would not recommend for shorter ladies. I am nearly 5'9" and the dress hit me right above the knee. Definitely a baggier cut but with the right shoe it worked well. The sleeves can tie up to a 3 quarters length which was nice for a hot night in NYC.

Perfect for a beach wedding!
The dress was absolutely stunning - perfect for a casual East Coast beach wedding. It was very light and airy so great for daytime wedding in the summer. The pictures don't do the neckline justice - it is very pretty beading, This dress really can be dressed up or down! For reference, I am 5'8" and wore Jack Rogers so the regular length was perfect and just touched the ground. My only complaint is the dress needs some TLC. I would have worn the size 4r but there was a tear among the seam so I wore the 2r which fit also.
