Warm and great color but wasaay too big and not flattering
I really wanted to love this coat but It just did not look good. It closes in an odd way that makes one side lower than the other, the collar is very large and overall, as someone else said, it was a lot like a down comforter. It may perhaps work better for a taller person. I'm 5'2". Great color though and very warm.

Beautiful!
This top is one of a kind. Absolutely stunning. I wore it twice. First time with black slacks. Second time with a dark green velvet pencil skirt. Worked well with both. The top has no give and does run a bit tight at the waist. I thought about buying it because I got so many compliments but decided against due to the tightness factor. That may be remedied by one size larger (I recently lost weight and am still trying to figure out my best size in clothes ).

Great dress
Loved this dress. I hosted a party and it was the perfect hostess dress. Best worn without a sweater or shawl since the shoulders make the dress. I was able to pull it off in winter by keeping the house warm and having a fire in the fireplace. True to size. Flattering.

Runs large
Couldn't tell if this would be good at the right size. Seemed too conservative for me.
Mulberry Morgan Dress

Runs very large
Soft comfy substantial fabric but runs very large. Too long in length and sleeves. Just overall too large. I couldn't wear it. Also the horizontal stripe pattern and lack of shape wasn't flattering.

Cute blouse - boosted confidence
Great material. Very professional yet cute at the same time. Wore it to a networking event with black skinny slacks and black booties. Definitely felt confident.

Very cute - note sizing is not the normal US sizing
I usually wear a size 6 small and had to wear size 3 in this dress. The bust was just slightly loose for my 32D size but otherwise cute. Would need fashion tape to keep it up. I ended up wearing something else.

Cute but didn't quite fit right
Pretty top but it was a little long and loose in the torso (I'm petite) while also being quite snug in the arms. Didn't end up wearing because I needed to be able to move more freely for this event but would look good with jeans.

Very comfortable and cute - runs short
I wore this dress multiple times on vacation and paired it with black tights and boots. It's very soft and warm and cozy. The only down side is that it is very short. I am 5'2" and it barely covered my butt and had a tendency to ride up. However if you wear it as a tunic top with leggings it would work just fine. Really liked the pinkish tint to the color.

Fancier than expected
I rented this for work but it's really more appropriate for a cocktail hour. Nice quality material. This dress works well with an hourglass figure and is perfect for a petite height. The skirt part is very wide. It has a ballet neckline. It is quite comfortable with a slight stretch to it. I ended up wearing it out to dinner. Would not rent again but it was fun for one wear.

Fun dress
Great party dress. It's a bit short. I'm 5'2" and it comes to above my knees. So it will be really short for a tall woman but great for petites. Very fun ruffle layers. The inner slip is body hugging so you may want to size up if you have wide hips. Great light silky fabric. Would work for summer but also with a sweater for a cooler evening. Really enjoyed wearing this dress. I stitched the neckline closed slightly to cover what otherwise would have been major cleavage.
Floral Annali Dress
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 32D
Runs small
Pretty fabric but the fit was off. Too tight in the middle so it bunched up at the top. Also the arm holes show any extra weight you may have in the front. Probably would work for a skinny woman with less of an hourglass figure.

Fashion forward jacket
I had to size down two sizes but ultimately this turned out to be a fantastic jacket and a great alternative to conservative blazers. Works with slacks, a pencil skirt, or over a dress. Highly recommend. I don't want to send it back.

LOVE this top
I plan to wear this to a concert. It is totally flattering. At the suggestion of other reviews, I sized up one size and it fits perfectly. No bra needed.

Beautiful dress and very comfortable
I rented this dress for a formal party. It is so beautiful and elegant, yet it almost feels like you're wearing a nightgown because it's so comfortable. No bra needed, which is good because a bra would ruin the back silhouette. It was a little long, even with heels, but because it pools out at the bottom it looks like it was designed to drape on the floor. I absolutely loved this dress and would rent again.

Nice fit and flare but too too large
I rented this for weekend but it's actually better for a party. The fabric is more substantial than I expected for a sundress and it has some sparkle to it, which I didn't realize. I like the fit and flare but the top was too large for me. Sizing down wouldn't have worked because the waist would then be too tight. I sent this one back without wearing it.

Beautiful fabric but runs large
Nanette Lepore generally fits me perfectly but this dress runs large and overall it was not a flattering fit. Loved the fabric, though. Very luxurious. Might work if sized down one size.

I turned this into a mini dress and it was fabulous
I wore this to sing at a party with my band and it was way too long. I was able to tuck and pin under two of the ruffle layers and turned it into a mini dress. It was so adorable! I got a million compliments. I almost bought it. May buy it next time I rent it. Great form fitting upper portion. The only down side is you can't lift your arms over head because of the sleeves but totally worth putting up with that because of how cute it is.

Love this dress
I rented this for work. The dress fits like a glove (a comfortable glove since the knit fabric is stretchy) hugging my curves in all the right ways while still being completely appropriate for work. I added a statement necklace to dress it up a bit. Love the fit, color and asymmetrical front hem. The fabric is thick so it's good for a cooler day. Very good quality. I usually wear a small (size 6) but medium is marked as size 6 for this one and it fit perfectly. I'm 5'2" and the dress was a perfect short length for me. It may be too short for a taller woman. This dress fits so well I am considering buying it.

Amazing dress
I put this on and knew I had to rent it even though I didn't have a special occasion. It's so beautiful and flattering. It's a great maxi for petites (I'm 5'2") and would be a beautiful midi for someone taller. Would work very well for a wedding or cocktail party but I just wore it for a summer event outdoors. It's so soft and flowy. I used spanx underneath and a strapless bra. Totally recommend this dress.

Light, breezy and fabulous
Don't let the long sleeves dissuade you from renting this for summer. The fabric is light weight and cool. It's a style I never would have thought to try but I loved it and got lots of compliments. I felt fashion forward and confident. Requires a strapless bra.

Fabulous fit for curvy figure
I rented this dress for work. I found it a little more conservative than what I was looking for but I will rent it again when I have a specific function in kind. It's a perfect fit and length and hugs your curves in all the right ways without showing lumps and bumps. The color is a little drab for my coloring but with a bright scarf, necklace or jacket it would be great. Highly recommend. Zipper sticks a bit. I ran a wax candle up and down it a few times and that solved the problem.

Soft flowy and feminine
I rented a medium because the store didn't have small but small would have been better. As it is, I belted it and added a light blue jacket and got lots of compliments. I really like the soft flowy fabric. The bow tie necklace is a bit dated but I tucked the tie material inside and used fashion tape to secure it into a small v neckline. That improved it immensely. I would recommend this dress but without a belt it's boxy.

Very cute
The dress is very cute. A little on the short side. I sized down based on other reviews but my normal size would have been better. Spanx helped for fit with the smaller size and coverage due to the short hem. The lining is oddly attached at the back zipper so I had to take a lot of care to pull everything down again each time I used the restroom. For that reason I wouldn't want to own but I loved renting it.

This is the perfect jacket
I absolutely love this jacket. It goes great with jeans and a fancy dress or maxi. It's a soft comfortable fabric (not sticky like fake leather) and has a subtle metallic sheen. I am pretty sure I'm going to buy it.

Love this dress, too long for petite
This dress is beautiful, flowy and made me feel pretty. However it is extremely long. Probably 6-10 inches too long (I'm 5'2"). Would be worth shortening if I owned it. Perfect for a casual wedding or a beach vacation. Or even for a summer get together.

Better for someone tall and thin
This is a beautiful dress but it wasn't flattering on my 5'2" curvy figure. I think it would work well on someone who is slender. The fabric is somewhat sheer so nude undergarments are needed.

Gorgeous but too long
This is an absolutely beautiful dress however the neckline is very low and it was more revealing than I'm comfortable with. It was quite right with no room for a cami. It was also way too long for my 5'2" frame. I ended up returning it.

Boxy and not particularly flattering
I LOVE the color, but the style is boxy. It wasn't flattering on my petite frame.

Beautiful bracelet good for small wrists

Love love love
I wore this dress to an outdoor summer wedding. It was perfect. So beautiful and flowy. I got many compliments. The only negative is that Even with 2" heels it was a little too long but I was able to hold it up while walking. Totally recommend this dress. It's beautiful.

Beautiful but too long
This was my second choice for a summer outdoor wedding. It's an absolutely beautiful dress but about 6 inches too long even with 2 inch heels so I couldn't wear it. I'm 5'2"
