Preppy
This was pretty cute- I was worried it would be too short, and luckily it was not.

Cozy and fun!
I had rented this before in the brighter colors, and people either love or hate it. It’s a comfy oversized sweater!

Stunner!
Loved this dress so much! Great colors and perfect for a date. I couldn’t fill out the bra, so I had to make sure to sit up really straight! However it doesn’t look like it would accommodate a large bust. This dress would be great for vacation!

Meh
I really wanted this dress to work, but I just found it frumpy. It’s baggy and not flattering. It wasn’t terrible enough to NOT wear, but it wasn’t a hit for me.

Hippy Kate Spade?
This didn’t look like Kate Spade to me, but it was a fun dress. It was too low in the front to wear to work without a tank under, so u knocked off a star. I got a lot of compliments, and the colors were pretty. It’s true to size like I find most of Kate Spade to be.

Comfy
I thought I'd love this one, but it was just ok. I would have liked a tighter fit, so I wish I ordered down a size. Being un fitted made it not very flattering since it's thick fabric anyway- so I felt it made me look bigger. It's a good length though- not too short if you're tall.

Runs small! But one size up is good
I was hestitant to rent this because of reviews about it being small. I ordered one size up (in US sizes) and it was prefect. I usually wear a US 4 and I got a UK 10. It was a fun wear, but it wasn't pink like I thought it was- it's definitely purple!

So fun & well constructed
I ended up loving this top so much more than I thought I would. The double ruffle sleeves really gave a nice unique touch to make it stand out. It's really thick and warm fabric so I was able to wear it in the winter.

Fun dress!
It's definitely too short to wear to work without tights. I liked the fun puffy sleeves and the texture of the print is really pretty up close. I wanted to wear it again and style it for the weekend but didn't have time!

Gotta love a pasta puffer
This coat was too fun- I had to get it! It is boxy though and not fitted at the hips. I didn't love the cut, but it's very comfy and warm. And it's just for fun anyway with the silly pasta pattern! Got lots of comments.

Great colors!
Loved the print on this top and the ruched sleeves. Great colors that you could style many different ways. I wore it with black pants to work and then again with this pink skirt. It is super lightweight and comfortable; it's almost a mesh, but not see through.

I ordered it as the set, but then the top wasn't available. It's very fitted, so order up if you want a little more room. I loved the colors and could see styling it several different ways. I liked the knit fabric.

It took me a while to squeeze into this (especially tight on the arms), but it was worth it! Super fashionable and got tons of compliments. As noted in other comments, it's gold, not yellow. Order up if you're curvier.

Gorgeous in Green!
This color is so gorgeous! I love the cut (size down though- I never wear a 2, but it fit me perfectly in this dress). It's got pockets, which adds some material to the hips. The dress is a great length if you're tall. It was such a fun, sparkly pick for a holiday party. Tons of compliments!

This is a big oversized so it's comfy and easy to wear. I dressed it up and wore it to work, and then I dressed it down with jeans and slides for a more casual look. It's a thick, nice fabric.

This neckline!
The color and pattern on this dress is gorgeous. The top is double lined with a thicker fabric so I was easily able to wear it with no bra. The neckline is gorgeous and the cutest is super flattering. It's almost a Scuba dress like fabric. I was able to throw a cardigan over it and wear it to work after the weekend as well!

Sexy twist on a conservative dress
Warning: the slit os very high if you plan to wear this to work. I had to safety pin it so that when I sat down, I want about to flash everyone. I did actually really like the dress, but I think it would be better for some kind of fall activity, and not for work. The way the fabric is sewn on the dress is really flattering! It does run on the smaller side.

Cheerleader vibes
I got so many compliments on this one! Some people said it looked like a cheerleader or band sweater. I loved the colors and shapes and cut. It is short, so beat with higher waisted pants. It's a nice thick sweater tight knit material that doesn't wrinkle.

Here for the sleeve drama
These sleeves are too much fun! Love the color of the dress too and got lots of compliments on it. It's too short for me to wear normally so I waited until it got cold so I could wear with tights. Such a fun wear.

I got such mixed reviews on this sweater! People either thought it was the ugliest thing ever or so cute. It's such a comfortable oversized sweater and I loved that it unzips! I loved wearing it and it's a ton of fun! Definitely recommend this one.

Could live in this cardigan
I didn't expect to love this cardigan so much. It's super comfy & not itchy at all. Very thick and warm. I wore to it a marathon and pretended the M stands for "Melissa" and "Marathon." Comfy piece you can lounge in, but stylishly.

Super soft fabric and the arms are actually long on me (I'm tall and have long arms). It's very fitted in the body, but has a little stretch- I'd size up if you have a bust. Loved the puff sleeves- made a black & white sweater teapot pop.

I loved the colors in this dress! It has some room in the hips so if you are curvier, it has room. I got a ton of compliments on this one. It's a good length for work if you're tall, and it's got a gorgeous velvet zipper detailing down the back which is a nice touch.

It's a thick knit fabric, so great for fall. Its definitely tight around the waist so if you're an in between size, go up. I feel like this can be dressed up or down so many ways! I also wore it with a mustard top to work.

I feel like this dress needs a belt, and the tie is needed to cover the large keyhole in the font. Lots of fabric, but super flowy and fun. I enjoyed wearing it and that the pattern was adorable.

A shimmery work moment
I wore this to work, but it would be great for the holidays. I didn't find it to be too itchy. Loved the puff sleeves and it's got some breath room in the cut. Super fun dress! It's also a nice conservative length for work.

Fun but small!
As suggested in the reviews, I ordered one size up, but I still could barely zip it up. I didn't end up actually wearing it out because it's a little more formal than I thought- the fabric is super thick. I thinks it's gorgeous and fun for the right occasion through! Definitely too short for work!

Such a unique dress
I thought this dress was a fun twist on black and leopard. The waist tie really adds a fun detail. I got so many compliments when I wore it. The top part is soft cotton so it was super comfortable as well. It surprised me by being one of my favorite rentals in a while.

Just ok
I thought I was going to love this one, but it was just ok. I felt like the middle isn't fitted enough and it made me look bigger. Look good in the photo...but in person it was just a regular dress that fit ok on me. Love Rebecca Taylor a lot, but this was not my fave.

OK, these are totally moths
The title of the dress is butterflies… But when it came and I could see the pattern up close it is definitely moths on there! I am not a big fan of moths. The fit is comfortable because it's not tight anywhere, but l didn't think it was the most flattering for my body type.

Fun colors, ok fit
This isn't all oversized liked people said it reviews: it cinches oh both sides and you can make it tight. It is a lot of fabric though and lots of ruffles so it's not the most flattering. I thought the colors were fun, but overall the dress was just ok to me. I always size down in Ted Baker, and this dress is no expectation. The arm holes are a little bit big so I probably would have even done two sizes down.

I was hesitant to rent this because it had some bad reviews about the fit- I thought it fit perfectly and is flattering for the type of dress it is- a shift dress. It's supposed to be loose and flowy! It's long enough to wear to work, and it has a cute fun retro feel to it. Plus the color is great.
