SOS I'm drowning in fabric
Cut way too large. I'm usually an 8 and I was swimming in fabric in the 6. I don't think I had much room to size down. Maybe if you were taller it would be ok. Also beware, the back is TOTALLY open down to the lower part of your back so you can't wear this with a bra.

Not the most exceptional or flattering dress, but it was a super easy late summer staple. I don't think I'd buy it, but would rent again.

Update to Grandma's pocketbook
The size was a little weird and the bag was heavy, so I'm sending it back after only using it a handful of times. Didn't love the pebbly leather. The strap length and the purse size felt a little frumpy to me-- it reminded me of my grandma's purse (aka her pocketbook).

Meh! Sleeveless version is much cuter
I rented the similar sleeveless dress several times and love it, so thought this was would a good fall transition piece. Meh! The sleeves were really big and the cut of this one made me look kind of pregnant. Also felt like the clips up the front pulled more than the other dress. Didn't wear it out of the house.

Super low maintenance dress. Light, breathable fabric and a cut that was flattering, but not overly tight or revealing. The puffy ruffles were a little much for my petite frame, but overall it was cute and I'd rent again.

Nice fall color and good fit, but wrinkly and the stitches are itchy
This was fine. I kept it in my closet for weeks thinking I'd have an occasion to wear it, but it's kind of a "good on paper" dress. It's a good cut and a cute color, but I wasn't super excited about it. When I did finally wear it, I found out it gets wrinkly, including across the midsection from sitting down for a few hours. And while the stitching design is cute, it's kind of itchy, especially on the sleeves. Eh.

A little low cut, but cute overall
Cute print and nice thick canvas-y fabric. There's no stretch, but I found the size 8 was okay for my hips. Sizing up to 8 did made it a little too big on top, it was kind of low cut for me. But overall not a bad dress.

LOVE, easy breezy perfect
Perfect dress. Flowy and romantic, and so easy to wear. No worries about straps falling, buttons bursting, having to sit up straight to make sure the cleavage doesn't go too low. Just effortlessly pretty. I've kept it for a few weeks and would def rent again.

Reviews are right, lining is a disaster
I should have listened to other reviewers! As many people have noted, the dress isn't well made-- the top doesn't hold its shape and the lining is totally visible. I couldn't wear it and won't rent this again.

Surprisingly small inside, but cute
You can wear the strap long (as pictured here) or doubled up for a shorter shoulder bag. My biggest complaint is that the bag was a pain to use because there's a large interior zipper pocket that chops up the space, so it's not very roomy inside. That said, it was super cute and I kept it for months.

Fits like a DREAM, so classic
Love this dress! The fabric was thick and felt like high quality. Cut was perfect for my hourglass shape. It was maybe a little too formal for a casual dinner, but I had to wear it because it just fit so well. This would be great for a work dinner/party.

Meh. Not very flattering.
I brought this dress on vacation, but it sat at the bottom of my suitcase while I reached for something else everyday. It was fine. I didn't think the neckline was flattering and the shoulders were a little wide.

UK 12 was a great fit for my US 8 hourglass shape. I'm narrow through the shoulders, but the structured "sleeve" wasn't overwhelming. I'd totally rent this again.

Too big in the bust and too much material around the bottom
I tried this dress in 6 and 8, and while the 6 fit, the bust was still too open. I was absolutely falling out and there isn't a good way to wear a bra. I felt like it made my chest look floppy and flat. The A line cut wasn't working either, there was so much fabric that it didn't flatter my petite frame. Didn't wear it out of the house.

Perfect dinner dress for vaca
This dress was so flattering! The buttons didn't pull too much across the hips while standing, but they did gape a lot when I sat down. The straps were too long and not adjustable. But I loved the print and it photographed really well.

Super flatting cut, but beware heavy material and long legs
I love this jumpsuit so much! But tricky to find any shoes that were high enough (I'm wearing 2-3" heels in this photo and still stepped on the hem) and the zipper, as others noted, was a real challenge. The material is also pretty heavy. It's nice material and gives good structure to the jumpsuit, but it was tough to figure out what weather from wear this in. The low cut and cut outs and flowers = summer, but it's too heavy for really warm days. If I come up with an occasion, I'd rent again!

Living for this leopard
Fantastic leopard crop. I'm petite and it hit me right around the belly button -- long enough that with high-waisted leggings there wasn't a huge midriff gap, but some skin showed if I lifted my arms up. Loved it. Bought it!

Apron with thigh-high slits
Somehow, this apron-gone-wrong manages to be both matronly AND too revealing. I have no idea what's going on here. The fabric was only sewn together down to the hip and then it's *completely open* down both legs. Arrow in the photo shows the top of the slit. As soon as I took a step it was just my whole leg exposed. And the rest of it isn't particularly flattering! I wish I could send it back right away, but I'm on the new plan, so I'm stuck for awhile. Maybe I'll wear it to bake some cookies?

Ok for pear, but size up
The cut of the skirt worked for my hips, but I didn't find the ruffles to be a super flattering silhouette. I'm usually between M/L and ordered L. The biggest problem was the fabric, which was polyester-like and doesn't breathe at all.

Icky fabric, long arms, gaping chest
First, I sadly really hate this fabric. It feels and looks like chintzy polyester. I was sweating the instant I put it on-- def not for a warm climate. The arms were cartoonishly long. The chest gaped open a lot, but it the M was right across my ribs, so I wouldn't want to size down. Overall a hot mess.

Really comfortable jeans. I rented because they were listed as $40 to buy, and I think I would have gone for it. But then the price went up to $240 and they're not that dynamite. Kept for a week or two then returned.

Perfect for a picnic!
These were so cute! St only 5'3", the pants were full length on me, not cropped. Only complaint is the straps were too long: even when I had them as short as they could go, I was still pulling them back up as they slipped off my shoulder all day. To prevent any wardrobe disasters, I wore it with a white bodysuit underneath. Overall, an adorable spring look!

I wish this wasn't so see-through!
This would be perfect if it wasn't so sheer. I really dislike how the pockets show through so clearly. Also a bit of a trick to find the right undergarments that work with the fabric. The cut and color look upscale -- I could imagine this in a "goop guide to Malibu." If only the material was better!

Pandemic chic
Cozy but still kind of fashionable, this lulu sweatshirt dress was a staple in my winter quarantine wardrobe. Fabric is professional enough for zoom, but low maintenance. Neck isn't too tight. Only thing I didn't like were the pockets, which were too bulky on my hips. If it didn't have the pockets, I probably would have bought it!

Bit big in shoulders/chest, but overall v cute!
Ordered 38 and 40 and went with 38 (I'm usually a 6/8). Cute wrap dress and loved the contrasting print. Got compliments all day, but it wasn't my favorite fit. I wish the shoulders were more narrow and the chest required a little safety pin. Also not quite enough material across the wrap part of the hips for me and I had to pinch the fabric together while I walked to avoid a dramatic split. I wouldn't rent again, but it's really cute.

Super awkward cut, low/baggy crotch
These were like a Project Runway disaster where Heidi Klum tells the designer, "I just feel so bad for your model, that you made her go down the runway looking like this!" The crotch was halfway down my thighs and bizarrely roomy. Looked very awkward and I returned immediately.

Absolutely not for pear shape
I love my Citizens of Humanity Olivia jeans, so was excited to try these. What a disappointment! Terrible fit. I sized up and still couldn't get them up over my hips. Thighs, bum, it was all way too small and they were nowhere near buttoning.

It was cozy, but seemed really shabby, so I didn't end up wearing it. It felt like it was overwork and beat up. I guess it's possible it was intended to be like that, but I sent it back.

WAY too big in the chest, cut too low and too wide
I'd been eyeing this dress for ages and though it would be a great fit for me. I have other Flynn Skye dresses, but this one had a terrible cut. The chest was cut really wide and really deep-- no amount of safety pinning or taping was going to make this decent. Buttons were cute and length was fine, but had to send it back without wearing.

This technically fit, but it made me feel so big. The sleeves and the fabric just were way too much visual volume. There's a drawstring, but it doesn't do much to accent your waist. Wouldn't rent again.

Fabric is overwhelming for petites
Tried it on and sent it back. The chest gapes and only looked halfway okay while I was standing very still for this photo. So I couldn't really wear it anyway. But on top of that, with the puff sleeves, the mermaid ruffles, and the stripes, it's just too much going on for my small frame.

The most ill-fitting garment I have ever tried on
I don't know where to begin. Maybe these would work if you're a very thin/straight build, but it was the most comically awful thing I have ever tried to put on. In Citizens of Humanity or Levi's I wear a 28, but sized up to 29 here since I size up for Reformation dresses. I could barely pull these pants over my thighs. There was no room for any butt whatsoever. And it was a solid 3" from buttoning. Despite the super tight top, they were too wide at the knees and too long. Horrible jeans.

Love a matching knit set!
Like elevated sweatpants, these basic knits were cozy with some style. I liked how the ankles have a few inches of tighter fit instead of one elastic waistband. I would have bought them if the fabric was higher quality. Unfortunately, they were pulling like crazy.
