neutral pattern with interesting zip detail
long in the arms and a heavier/warmer sweater (note if it's transitional season and you want to wear under a jacket). But interesting and I wore it enough throughout the month to make it worthwhile. Also, the color is more light blue/green than what I see in the photo (which looks ecru/tan).

Boxy and mature
Make sure you punch this up with some skinny jeans and trendy jewelry, otherwise you end up looking a bit grandmotherly.

Business in the front, party in the back
While this ran a smidge large, I didn't mind because it was so super cute and flattering. I received tons of compliments. Very comfortable jersey material like a favorite sweatshirt, so soft. The pleating in the back holds up even after a car ride, and the back bellows out as you walk like the sidewalk is a runway. Rent it!

Perfect transition piece
When you want to wear a jacket but it'll be too hot, perfect for those California days where the sun is warm but the air is cool. I love this jacket, suitable for day or night. The elastic around the wrist was a smidge tight, especially if you like to push up your sleeves like I do. I found that if I did not push the sleeves that it hit at a slightly above my wrist bone which I didn't prefer. But I loved it and tons of compliments.

Wear it everywhere
Flattering for a pear- or hourglass shape. Wear to church, wine tasting, work, date night. Stunner. Fits generous in the waist and hips and bust. Wear a bra with a racer back or hook as straps could peek.

Tight in the hips - size up
Too tight in the hips and awkward bra needs. If you're anything but a straight and narrow body type, beware!

Goes with everything
If you're busty, size up. I am not and found this to be TTS. The fabric is loosely woven with light golden threads. It was flattering and went with work wear and jeans. I wore it quite a few times during my Update month.

Amazing dress! I looked fabulous!
I am so so so so mad I didn't get a photo of me and my husband the night I wore this dress. It looked amazing on, so many compliments. And the pockets, yay for pockets! You know those pockets that you put your phone in them and they either bulk out or make your dress hang funny? These are magic pockets that do neither of those! I could have gone with the size 4 (pear shape, typically wear a 6). If you're considering this dress, do it!

Best for straight bodies
I should have sized up - had difficulty getting it on. I had also received another pantsuit in my order which was more forgiving stretchy fabric so I ended up wearing it. This is a pretty suit, but no stretch. Size up if you're pear or curvy.

Might as well try it!
I hadn't worn a pantsuit before renting this one and glad I tried it as a rental vs buying. It fit well, fabric was a little "pilly". Popular item I think. I didn't receive the belt (they shipped another pantsuit) but ended up wearing the item once without the belt. I tried other belts in my closet but they weren't good, so I just went without. It would have looked better with the matching belt. Very comfortable, easy to wear. If you're on the fence, try it out!

Figure flattering for my mummy tummy! Comfortable and warm with lined sleeves. I wore this jacket 3-4 times during my Update rental period both for work with black pants and out with friends or family with jeans.

If curvy or pear, suggest sizing up
Beautiful dress, knit top is forgiving, flowy bottom. I wish I hadn't sized down - the inner lining in the skirt is unforgiving polyester and straight cut. I made it work, but it required some adjustments and special care after using the ladies. I am normally a 4 on top/6-8 bottom and went with the 4 thinking the bottom would be forgiving, but it was not. It's still a very pretty dress - great on my date night! It was chilly and I wore with boots.
