Too MOTB
Ordered to wear as a family wedding guest, but it has too much mother of the bride vibe. Did not wear.

Very stiff fabric and big gap in back
The gap means you cannot wear a regular bra.

Adorable dress but girly
Loved this dress and it fit well, but it just seemed a bit too girly for me. The little petals are not fully attached so they flutter as you walk and the flounce at the bottom is pretty pronounced.

Boxy fit
This top fit well, but it was not flattering. The body has a very boxy fit and the shoulder gathers just made me look bulky. That said, it’s got a little stretch and is forgiving to poochy tummy & other figure issues. I would size up if you have a large bust. I’m running between a 4 & 6 at the moment.

Love this shirt!
After I rented it the 2nd fall in a row, I bought it. Great fit, unique hem, cool fabric, sooo many buttons. It began life with a belt apparently (belt loops), but I think that got lost early on.

Comfy but runs large
This is a casual sweater with a little bit of understated bling, as some of the polka dots are slightly sparkly. I wore with jeans. It runs quite large and is a little overwhelming on a smaller-framed/smaller-busted person.

Weird fit
This sweater has a weird fit, mostly caused by the heavy fabric and long side ruffle. It sags to the side and was generally uncomfortable. Icky synthetic feel. Didn't wear.

Fun jacket!
I rented this for a trip to Key West. Jacket fits great and the wording on the back is sweet. All the metal studs on the collar were a little much for me.

Perfect for the occasion
I rented this dress for a funeral at a conservative church; it was "just right." The fabric and lining are both stretchy and I felt it ran a little large. The length is definitely midi - this dress would be too long on someone who is very petite. It fits well through the bodice and hips and does not emphasize any lumps or bumps. I took away one star for being a little dowdy. I would not wear this dress for another type of occasion but was grateful that it was in the inventory for this one.

Weird fit at the waist
The bodice fits well and the scallops on the neck and arm holes are attractive. The pleats are great and the flashes of color are a nice touch. But the dress has the oddest fit at the waist and hips - it goes out at a 90-degree angle and makes a ledge at your hips before it drops to the skirt. VERY unflattering. I did not wear it.

Cute dress!
Strangely, the size 8 was actually smaller than the 6 (laundering damage, I assume). I didn’t end up wearing it to the wedding (too casual) but had a fun date night with my husband wearing this dress! The bodice and waist fit are slim. Flattering fit-and-flare skirt. The fabric does wrinkle and required a light pressing to be wearable.

Dowdy dress
The fit ran large; the 6 had gaping armholes and a very low waist. In the 4 the bodice fit was OK, but still with a low waist. The skirt is oddly blousy and long. Any pleats that were part of the garment are gone after multiple launderings. I have a prominent lower rib cage and this dress emphasized the worst element of my figure. This dress might work if you are very tall or at least long-waisted.

Great dress!
I rented this dress for a memorial service where the family requested no black - so it needed to be both church-appropriate and weather-appropriate for late summer Houston. It was perfect. The fabric is light but the dress is lined. The length on me is just above the knee and the neckline is modest. The fabric has no stretch; I am small-busted and the bodice fit well (might be tight for larger women). The fit of the dress and the bit of flounce at the hem are very flattering and cute. Would rent again for hopefully a happier occasion!

Sharp-looking, super comfortable dress!
The bodice is a dense back knit material; it provides a great backdrop for a piece of statement jewelry. It's slightly stretchy which makes it comfortable. The skirt is knee-length and has a bit of pouf, but not too much. I wore it for a formal-ish wine dinner at a high-end restaurant. Could not hook the eye at the top of the zipper because the eye is sewn on too tightly.
