Second time renting this Ted Baker style
This is a great fit. I've previously rented this dress in a different color and both times I felt comfortable. The sleeves do require some ironing or steaming but I'd rent again.

Just ok. Brighter than expected.
I didn't end up carrying it as it was just on and a little brighter in color than anticipated. Nothing wrong with it. May be cute for a pop of color against a more subdued outfit.

Stunning but too ran small in chest
The embroidery on this dress is stunning. I could not zip it past my chest level though. I'd likely rent it again in a size up. It is a heavier fabric so I may wait for cooler weather. Really beautiful in person.

Better in person than photos
This fit very well and worked great for a spring wedding. I loved it in person but less so in photos. It never felt snug while wearing it but the photos made the top look snug on me. I did need to steam it out a bit to remove some wrinkles. I had to very carefully steam it with a cloth between the steamer and dress to avoid water spots. Overall, pretty dress but probably would t rent again.

The shoulders on this were very boxy and were a bit too unflattering for me to wear. Otherwise the fit was nice, a little oversized but pretty details in person.

Great Fit and Length for Petites
Fit was comfortably snug. Would have purchase if I lived somewhere cooler and had more use for it. The openings at the back were unexpected in a good way but I was still able to wear a regular bra with no issues.

So Pretty but Didn't Wear Bra Issues
I really wanted to love this, but with the fully slit open back, I could not figure out how to make a bra look good with this so I never wore it. I'd probably rent again and purchase a pretty black bra to wear under it.

Festive but Snug
I ordered this as a New Year’s Eve option and loved the colors. They’re so fun and festive. However, the fit was a snug through the arms and shoulders, so I’d consider sizing up if I rented it again. The fabric is heavier, which is expected for a sequin dress, and the length felt just right on me. Overall, a great statement dress but runs small through the top.

Adjustable & Comfortable
I loved this dress. The adjustable straps were a game changer. It was so nice to be able to shorten them and adjust the torso to sit exactly where I wanted. I wore this to an extremely hot Florida kids’ birthday party and was comfortable the entire time. The front decorative buttons are a great touch, and overall it’s just an easy, comfortable dress. I also wore it to a casual brunch and would absolutely rent this one again.

Pretty but Plunging
I loved the pretty colors of this dress—the sleeves were fun, and the overall shape was really flattering. My only hesitation was the deep V in the front, which felt a bit more open than I’m usually comfortable with. Other than that, I absolutely loved it and would definitely consider renting it again, maybe in a smaller size to see if the neckline feels a little less revealing.

Very Casual, Runs Big
I wanted to make this one work, but the fit just wasn’t for me. Even when I pulled the waist strings as tight as they would go, the dress still felt pretty shapeless overall. It ended up feeling loose and unflattering. I gave it a fair try, but it just didn’t have the shape I was hoping for. Maybe a smaller size but I don’t think I cared for the color or casual fabric enough to give it a try again.

Runs big, Beautiful color
The color of this sweater dress is absolutely beautiful, which made it extra disappointing that the fit just didn’t work for me. I ordered an xs , but it ran very large overall-through the shoulders, arms, waist, hips, and even the length. I tried to make it work and just couldn’t. Such a bummer because the color really is gorgeous, and I wanted to love this one.

Warm Comfortable Sweater Dress
It was freezing on New Year’s Eve, so this dress ended up being perfect for hosting our party. I loved that the material felt more structured than a typical sweater dress. It moved really well but never stretched out or lost its shape throughout the night. I dressed it up with sparkly earrings and jewelry for the occasion, but I’d normally wear this for a dinner night out. It is a bit lower-cut than I’d consider work-appropriate, but it paired beautifully with black knee-high boots and also looked great with brown boots, too.

Great light sequin party dress!
For a sequin dress this was lighter than I expected in a good way. The color is silver but as sequins were flipped over they were mostly red but multicolored. I ordered too late to wear it for my NYE party but that was what it was supposed to be for. The zipper was easy to zip, sleeves a good length, great for thru chest and hips and plenty of length on the skirt without feeling too long. I will absolutely rent this again for another occasion.

Odd Fit
I wanted to love this so much after seeing everyone's photos in the reviews! It did not look good on me. It was too big. The shoulder felt huge on me and although the color looks beautiful on others, it was not flattering for me. I'd say it's not petite friendly. It felt too long on me and oversized. Idk if a smaller size would have changed any of this but it was a big no for me.

Beautiful Fabric, Great Colors
Fabric moves beautifully. Buttons allow for a more conservative or less conservative look. Loved it. Sleeves felt a little big as I did need to size up so the buttons didn't gape at the chest but otherwise loved this one. Rented twice for two different events.

This fit well everywhere except a very loose overlay on the upper back which felt too poofy for me. I wore it with a denim jacket once and was ready to return it. I did love that the inner dress portion had adjustable straps. Just meh

Comfortable
This fit great and was easy to dress up or down. I wouldn't wear it to a formal dinner but to a shower, lunch, brunch, casual dinner. I wore it several times. If the sleeves were a little less full I would've purchased this. The color is so pretty. It's hard to wear green but this is a perfect shade for my fair olive skin.

Rented for a more conservative lunch/dinner event. Pretty comfortable but definitely not an evening look for me. I'd rent again for a baby shower or daytime event. Fabric is heavier lace. Pretty light blue.

Such a fun evening bag! Only 4 stars for two issues:
This arrived with the original wrapping still on. It is absolutely beautiful and I was so happy with how it looked! My complaint was that something on the bag kept attaching itself to my dress. I assume it was the prongs holding the stones in place. I had to be careful about it touching my dress all evening at a wedding I attended. So yes, I'd rent it but I'd be mindful of letting it rub on clothing that pulls easily. Also, my iPhone 15 ProMax didn't fit in the bag unless it sat at the very top which made it top heavy.

Loved this dress! Easy wear with sandals for wine walk, casual dinner or lunch. The fabric is light and comfortable. Doesn't wrinkle too bad with travel. It does run a little short but fit me perfectly at 5"2. Great elastic waist that's flattering but forgiving.

Flattering Fit Snug Waist
I loved this romper. The fit is flattering, it is very comfortable, easy to get on and off and a great length for flats or a heel. I wore it to Halloween themed cocktail hour and to a rooftop dinner in Florida. I am apple shaped so the waist was just a teenie bit snug but it has a button and a hook enclosure so I never felt concerned. The top has buttons but I had no pulling at the chest. The arms have micro pleats that are beautiful and the material is soft and flowy.

This shirt runs huge. I ordered my typical size and it was so big I couldn’t wear it. It looked ridiculous on me and I couldn’t make it work. The details are beautiful for a white button up so I may try again in a much smaller size.

Snug waist, baggy everywhere else
These fit well, almost snug thru the waist but were so baggy through the hips and bum I couldn't make them work. Also, at 5'2" I needed a heel to make them work. I never ended up wearing them as they just felt overwhelming in my frame. So bummed because I love the style.

So beautiful in person
Despite the five star review, I actually did not end up wearing this dress. It just wasn’t the right fit for the wedding I was attending. It felt a little too formal for a lakeside wedding. However, the dress is beautiful in person. I’d likely rent it again for a cooler weather gala or formal event.

Great wedding dress!
I've worn this now for two weddings and I love it! It is super comfortable, great length for 5'2" frame. Everything fits true to size with the exception of the arms. They felt a little long on me but it still looked fine.

This felt very casual and the sleeves were a struggle. They felt too big and I could t figure out where to place them and keep them in place. I wouldn’t rent again. The color was pretty.

Comfortable Carry
This bag was comfortable to carry, matched plenty of outfits and held just enough. My iPhone fit well along with my wallet any keys and a lipgloss. Beyond that was pushing it. I wish the chain was a little smaller; it clinked every time I set it down. I’d prob rent it again if I specifically needed a cream bag for an outfit.

Great Details
I wore this to a graduation and baby shower. It has beautiful details along the seams. The chest was a little snug. Of note, some of the seams along the top are see through on purpose. So just know that as you’re choosing undergarments. The material feels cotton like but still something you could dress up or down. I would definitely rent again.

Fun Casual Dress
I loved this for a fun casual vibe. I wore it to a daytime wine walk in a beach town and to dinner. I love the ties at the waist that allow adjustments for a snug fit. I’m 5’2” and the length felt perfect. I wore with flats but could’ve done a casual heel. There was also plenty of room in the chest without it feeling revealing. The material feels more cotton/linen but it did’t get wrinkly.

Tough For Shorties
I wanted to love this so much but even with a 4” heel with a platform and sizing down from a medium to a small this still felt overwhelmingly long and cumbersome. I’m 5’2” and typically a size 10/12 with a 36DD chest. I wore it once and couldn’t wait to take it off. Layers were everywhere and I was still stepping on the length. This dress is gorgeous but not enough for me to fight the length and layers for more than dinner.

I really wanted to love this but it just felt bulky on me. It’s definitely a thicker material. Also, one of the shoulder pads felt like it was permanently crumpled and I could not get it to lay flat.

Great Disco Theme Romper
This was such a comfortable romper. I wore it for a disco theme costume party and it went over well. I’m only 5’2” and the length was perfect for me in a 4” heel. The only con was that I couldn’t sit with my legs crossed without the sequins tangling. I believe it does run small as I would normally wear a medium or large and the extra large fit just right.

I was not expecting to really love these but I do! I wore them with a red romper from RTR for a Christmas party and it was a great combo. I can’t see myself wearing them often enough to purchase them but there are really fun. The only cons were that they are a little heavy and I had to switch sides a couple of times to make sure u was wearing them right.
