Fun lace concept, but didn't work for me
I couldn't style this to be usable for me. Looked oddly Morticia Addams even though I so wanted it to work for a day at work by styling down with combat boots. Dress is well made and comfy, I just couldn't get the vibe right.

Good length for short ladies
Wanted to love these and wear them often, but I ordered a size too small. If the waist had fit, these would have been comfortable weekend jeans.

Gorgeous Pattern, but odd tight neck
Very thin so perfect for layering and for the spring. Got compliments on the pattern. Won't rent again because the neck was so SO small and not stretchy that it took forever to get on without ripping seams.

Vintage look, but pockets!!
Loved this. Got so many compliments on this one --very Spring look, very flowy skirt, has the little buttons between the big buttons to keep it from puffing out. Will definitely rent again.

Comfy jeans, true to size
I can't tell how I looked in these (if the bagginess was more hip than frumpy), but can attest that they were delightfully comfortable.

Solid basic with fun motion
I got many complements on this dress and the way that the skirt moved while walking. Fabric wasn't actually thin--was a good thickness for fall; but draped like it was and showed all bra/underwear lines.

Adorable Sleeves, Great length
Loved this and got lots of complements on how "soft" I looked in it. Enjoyed the puff sleeves as they weren't too large and floppy. Very warm but not itchy.

Comfy Classic
Classic winter pattern, long enough to cover waistline without getting bumpy and frumpy, and not-too-itchy.

Event Specific
Wanted to like these as the fit was great and I needed a lighter black/charcoal pair of jeans. But the studded/rhinestone pattern was way more intense in person and I just couldn't pull off all the rhinestones with daily wear or as casual work wear. They were just too noticeable/a specific aesthetic choice to make it work outside a country music concert or the club :)

So many compliments
SO comfortable. The lack of back pockets threw me off the first time wearing them, but these were so comfortable and I got so many compliments on the unique pattern that I wore them multiple times before returning. I almost considered buying them but wanted to try a smaller size before committing.
Kelly Cropped Mid-Rise Straight Leg
Triarchy
Size Worn: 29
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Bust: 34A
Fitted look with loose comfort
Thought I would feel too Little House on the Prairie wearing this, but it was so comfortable I gave it a shot and actually got a ton of compliments on the corseted look and how the denim made it look less Trad wife and more fun.

Absolutely Gorgeous Pattern
Loved this pattern and the detailing of the skirt; but the wrap nature of it inevitably made it impossible to walk without flashing everyone, haha

Beach Party Vibes
Loved the flowiness of this with bright fun colors. Was just quite long on me so spent the whole party holding it up or re-arranging myself so that the hem wouldn't get dirty or stepped on.

So Comfy; Many Compliments
Took me a ton of time to figure out how to tie this in a way that gave it more shape (classic tie in poncho style worked well as a fall cover-up), but eventually got it. Very comfy. Many compliments on the pattern/quality of the weave. Will rent again for Xmas pictures!

Perfect length for short person!
Got a lot of compliments on this dress. Loved the velvet detail around bust and it gave me the illusion of having a chest and waist. I thought the pattern (avocados) would be a bit weird or juvenile rather than fun, but everyone just read it as an abstract pattern.

Solid classic in beautiful deep color
Would have ordered this to keep as a basic solid, but the small ran too small so was very tight in the arms and chest. High neck/turtleneck is shorter than it looks in the picture. Tried again in Medium, which fit better at arms and chest, but looked frumpy elsewhere. Too bad!

Thick, structured material
Love most Ulla Johnson, but this didn't sit right on my body. The thick structured fabric, made the shoulders and neckline too stiff, so the top of the dress puffed up when I sat down and the long skirt looked matronly on me rather than elegant.

Fun Print, but fabric fights 'casual'
Wanted to love this because the oversize and print was fun, but the nylon fabric and button back made it feel like a professional shirt that I should be wearing to work rather than a casual shirt for weekends with the kids. Something was just off in the combo for me.

Dual fabric actually worked!
Was worried that the heavier pleather would pull on the knit, but this two-fabric dress worked well to sustain the shirt + skirt illusion. Got lots of compliments. A bit short so had to wear thick tights under.

Very comfy light jean
Baggy but not too baggy. High waist without feeling too "mom jean"--perhaps retro 90s? Length was great on me and I am shorter; didn't have to roll or wear crazy-high heels like many jeans.

Updated 60s/70s vibe
Perfectly paired with baggy jeans for a retro feel. Got many compliments on my "vintage" shirt. Thick, but weave was open so it felt light and airy for summer.

Long waist made me look odd
On the hanger, the pleating of this piece looked great. On, the long waist with the gathering looked downright odd. If you are tall and long waisted, this should work. If you are short and short waisted, this will look frumpy and odd -- like you sewed your own clothes from the wrong pattern. Frump + Beige = Bad combo.

Fun colors; solid work dress
Although this dress had a bit too much bulk to it for hot summer days; I found it an easeful work dress with bright colors that matched summer vibes. Was able to move a lot and walk all day at a conference in it.

So many compliments
Loved this skirt--easy fit and fun waistband of all the Le Superbe skirts, but the pastel watercolor combined with the hard black line gave this skirt an extra styling detail that got all the compliments. Was able to dress up for work and down for the weekend. Will rent again.

Odd waist shape didn't work for me
Something about this dress's structure did not work at all with my body shape--wouldn't recommend for folks with short waists; it will make you look horribly boxy and frumpy.

Nice shape, but wide open skirt
Loved the shape of this dress's shoulders and the double belt waste was slimming, but the wrap skirt is wide open to the waist and kept blowing open all the way to my underwear like a beach wrap. Wore shorts under to avoid indecency at work, haha.

Too small and large at the same time
Could barely pull this on, some areas were too tight; but then while wearing the sleeves kept falling down--maybe I got one with bad elastic? My shoulders aren't particularly small... Liked the pattern, but while on, the shirt just looked to basic-mom-vibe or Karen-from-HR work shirt and emphasized how flat-chested I am.

Beautiful Color, Intense Sleeves
I wanted to love this dress. The color was gorgeous; it felt flowy and fun; got lots of compliments...but the sleeves were intense....ly huge and floppy. Wanted to like them, but every time I got a glimpse in the mirror or saw photos of me wearing the dress, I wondered if they were too much.

Loved the comfort of this shirt; loved the detailing. Originally ordered a size 2 which was recommended, but arms were too tight. Sized up to a 3 which was just a bit longer than I would have liked but fit perfectly everywhere else. Will rent again.
