Runs large, cute print
The XXL was way too big on me. The sleeves (which are surprise elastic trim) were wrist length, not 3/4 sleeve. And I swam in it. An XL might still be too large and with designers like Trina Turk, I'm pretty consistently an XXL. The print is great and the fabric could be dressed up or down.

Runs large, very low cut
This dress ran so large on me (I'm normally 16 (18 in higher end/international designers). It just wasn't flattering at all. If it wasn't so large I would have been able to salvage it with a cami underneath but it hung like a sack.

Gorgeous, comfortable dress perfect for a night out
I ended up not wearing this dress because the occasion I rented it for ended up being more informal than I initially thought. I will be re-renting this dress for something else though because I loved it. It fit like a dream. The arms are little itchy but liveable. It was a little shorter than I anticipated but the inner layer helped to make me feel more covered. I'm normally a 16, but know in certain designers to size up. The 18 fit great.

Interesting dress, runs large
I rented the 16 and it was too big in the chest, and the armholes were gigantic. I would size down but I'm afraid that it would be too small. It's cute, interesting patterned dress (note that it is a dark navy blue, from the pictures, I thought it was black) but ultimately didn't work on my body.

Great everyday crossbody
I rented this as an everyday carry because I like trying out new bags. However, it's a lot smaller than I anticipated, so I only used it once at an event I was managing to carry my phone and extra supplies all day. It was perfect for that. I would rent again for a similar need or for vacation.
Camel Sunday Saddle Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Accessories
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Runs large, beautiful colors
This dress runs a little large especially in the chest area. Because it's a heavier fabric, it can roll up at the neckline so the underlying part of the dress is visible. Not a deal breaker, but also not the best look. I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was a touch too heavy/fancy for my work in the summer and the dinner I was going to wear it to ended up being more casual. However, it's a beautiful dress with a lovely pattern and colors and a touch of sparkle. I would rent again.

Great color, runs small
I'm pretty standard a 16 in Eloquii, but this dress runs too small. The neck was also too tight.

Beautiful dress, too long
This dress is lovely in person. Nice, high quality fabric that is super flattering. But it was too long. It hit me mid-calf and because the shirt is so full, I looked stumpy. I'm 5'6" for reference. The 16w was also a touch too large in the bust and waist. If it hadn't been too long, I would have worn despite that, but it is something to note.
Crimson Floral Print Dress

Great color and style, perfect length
This is a great dress. If I rent again, I'll wear with a tank underneath because I felt a little overexposed for work. I'm 5'6" and it fell to about mid-calf on me so was a great length. The color is great and the fabric is a mid-weight so does a great job of concealing while not being too warm. Would be a good party or date dress as well.

Interesting details, runs large
This is a nice quality, scuba fabric dress that runs large. The 16W fit more like a 18W, so I recommend sizing down. You could wear a regular bra with it if it fit well in the shoulders. However because it was too large, the slits in the shoulders showed my bra.

Cute top, runs small
The fabric is much silkier than I expected but will allow it to be dressed up or down. It does run small. I'm pretty consistently an XL/2X depending on designer, and had to size up to a 3x. I got so many complements on this top. I paired it with white jeans for work and with blue jeans for a cookout.

Perfect second wedding dress
I rented this as the second dress for my wedding reception. It was super comfortable and allowed me to have a different, more relaxed look without having to purchase another dress. I got so many complements throughout the night. It does run a little small. I could have worn the 1&, but ended up going for the 20 so I would have room to move and eat.

Cute work tote, loose stitching
I rented this to use as a tote for a work conference and it was perfect. I loved the colors and it was the perfect size. It didn't get too heavy and was great to throw everything in at the end of the day while still having access to needed items throughout the day. There is some loose stitching on the straps. It didn't distract from my enjoyment of the tote, but beware if you are wanting a more polished look.

Pretty colors, too big for size
I didn't get to wear this because, it was way too big in the bodice. It added extra bulk to my top half that is not needed. I did like that it was a wrap style (bottom part is seen shut). There is a slip for added coverage because the dress itself is sheer. I couldn't get the slip to lay right under the dress. It was entirely too fussy for something that was supposed to be an everyday dress.

Pretty, versatile maxi dress
This is a great wrap maxi dress. I wore it into the office, but it easily be worn to a variety of functions including spring and summer weddings. I did have to safety pin the top and wear a cami underneath for more secure coverage, and I am not large chested. I'm 5'6" and it still was plenty long with three inch heels.

I used this over my birthday weekend -night out with the girls and date night, I loved it.
I received so many complements on this clutch. I absolutely love it. I highly recommend for any occasion. I carried it on a Friday night out with the girls wearing jeans; and the next night on date night wearing a RTR Halston Heritage Stormchaser Dress. The clutch looked great with both outfits. It was big enough for my iPhone, charger, and some makeup. If I find it for sale somewhere, I'm snatching it up.
