Bought it!
I love this dress so much. Curve hugging but not overly so. I do wear a slip underneath it as it’s slightly see through. It’s slightly heavy so I would not wear on the hottest day and it also makes for a bulky pack if you bring it on vacation. Other than that- awesome dress!

Great vacation dress
Easy to pack and throw on. I did wear a half slip to keep it from being too sheer as the slip that is sewn in is not long enough to serve a purpose.

Fun sparkles for the holidays
I wore this three times over the holidays with high waisted, wide leg black pants. It was easy to wear, relatively comfortable (some slight sequin itches but nothing terrible) and fun! It hit right at the top of my pants and didn’t ride up.

Just flowy enough
Loved having this dress on vacation as it was easy to pack and comfortable to wear. It is flowy but did not make me feel like I was wearing a tent. One thing to note, I found the straps impossible to tie by myself so I needed to have a second set of hands to get it on.

Amazing cover up!
I rented this to use as a cover up on vacation and ended up wearing it A LOT. Perfect throw on and go dress that transitioned easily from beach to lunch. I could see wearing a tank dress underneath to wear as a normal dress. Loved it!

Perfect dress for the tennis
I rented this specifically to wear to the US Open and it worked perfectly. Good weight, lined and easy to wear. I understand the comment about it being tight around the middle, but it did not bother me.

Too small around chest
I could not zip this up. Fit everywhere but around my rib cage. Cute dress but the pockets might have given the appearance of being hippy (if I had been able to zip it).

Nice alternative to a denim jacket
I didn’t end up wearing this as we had a heat wave but if the weather had been cooler, I would have loved it as an alternative to a denim jacket. Will rent again!

Runs small
This is a really pretty dress and I will rent again in the next size up. I am typically a small/4/34B and I rented accordingly but the dress had no give so I could not get the top done up.

Fun sweater, buttons gap a bit
I enjoyed wearing this, but I was very aware of the buttons gaping while wearing even though it fit everywhere else. I go between XS and S and rented the XS in this, but would consider the S if I rented again. With the slight crop, I think it would still work.

Definitely size down... and add a belt
I loved this dress! But agreed with others... it runs large and with the elastic waistband, you can get away with a smaller size. I threw on a belt too to further cinch the waist

Would never buy, but was fun to wear once
The dress itself is beautiful - great color, fun pattern and fun length... but I did not feel the tent style was very flattering. I still enjoyed wearing it to dinner and was very comfortable all night!

Great dress for a black-tie wedding. The slit was a little much for my taste, but I still loved the dress. The dress was easy to pack, easy to wear and received a lot of compliments.

Rent the skirt, not the shirt
I rented both pieces hoping for a multiple outfit situation on vacation but sadly the shirt just didn't work out. It was just too big- even with the ability to tie it. Maybe it would have looked better on its own with jeans? I wasn't interested enough to try though.

Meh
I almost didn't even try it on as the fabric felt cheap and the color was really muted. It is just 'fine'... nothing special. I also echo the comments about the bust area being really tight.

Great skirt!
I pored through the reviews before deciding to stick with my normal size as I was nervous about it being too tight in the hips/butt. It ended up working close to perfectly- a little bit of bunching around the waistline, but nothing that kept me from wearing it multiple times. Will rent again (or buy!).

Great skirt!
Loved this skirt! I wore it with the buttons on the side because I felt it hung better but either way- great fabric and pattern. I rented it with the matching top but did not like the top- so just wore with a white linen shirt. Will rent again come summer!

Close- but didn't work
Ugh- I really wanted to love this dress as it is GORGEOUS, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The area around the hips just did not fit well. Granted, I am hippy- so it might not have been the right cut for me. Also, for reference- I am 5'9" and the length would have been just right, even in 3ish inch heels.

Did not wear- HUGE!
This dress was laughably oversized. I was concerned at first that I didn't see a zipper which usually would be on a dress like this to allow for ease of dressing, but I didn't need to be concerned as it went right on with PLENTY of room to spare. I immediately checked to see if I was sent the wrong size- but I wasn't. It was a 4 as ordered and I typically am in between a 4 and a 6. Too bad because it is a pretty dress.

Great color, fun details
I did not end up wearing this dress, but I would definitely consider renting again. I love the details of the little fabric balls along the seams and the color is gorgeous! My only hesitation is that I did not love the silhouette from the side. It felt a teeny bit frumpy as the skirt is quite full. Perhaps belting it would create a more flattering shape.

Nice dress- just didn't wear
I loved this dress when I tried it on at home, but when I put it on to wear on vacation, I just didn't feel it. Maybe it was the silky fabric? I will keep it in the back of my mind for a future rental though.

Easy, breezy summer/vacation dress
LOVE this dress! Will definitely rent again. Very easy to throw on and go.. with one item to note... the zipper was difficult to get above the waistband, but if you zip up to that point and THEN put it over your head, it is no issue.

did not wear
Trust the reviews! The pointy boob is real. Also, the positioning of the pockets is awkward, creating a really weird bulge around your hips. Too bad as it is a really pretty fabric (albeit on the heavier side) and I love the tie back detail.

Nice blouse
I agree with the other comments at that this blouse is "fine." I wore a black cami under and paired with black jeans. The bottom is square, so it made it difficult to do a front tuck which is how I like wearing blouses. With that said, I would maybe rent it again as it is a lovely, well made blouse.

Didn't wear
This dress was not for me. I didn't notice the little opening at the chest when I rented it which, to me, was an awkward feature. It was also more snug than I normally wear.

Great color!
I wanted to wear this with a skirt but it was a bit too thick to do a front tuck. I ended up wearing it a couple times just with jeans and was happy with it. Because of the thickness- it is hard to wear a coat over, so I imagine it being a better option if you don't need to wear a coat. The sweater itself is beautiful and a great color.

Great dress for the winter
I wore this 5 times- ha- including to my husband's work holiday party. It is short- but not inappropriate once you put tights on. I'm 5'9 for reference too. I wore it with over the knee boots and the aforementioned tights. The side zip/buttons took some getting used to and it is really challenging to tie the bow at the neck by yourself- but once you get it on, it's an awesome dress!

I am a big fan of Derek Lam sweaters. This is the 3rd one I've rented and another hit. True to size, easy to throw on and super cute.

Love this sweater! So much so that I ended up buying it. Great fit and weight. It is fitted, but not tight and a good length, hitting about at the hips.

I wear a 27 in Rag & Bone jeans and anywhere between a 4 to 6 in dress pants. The 6 in these was way too big around the waist, so perhaps a 4 would have worked. I am also 5'9 and they were not as long as I would have liked, regardless of the fit. The fabric and style are beautiful though!
