Proenza Perfection
Proenza never misses a beat and this dreamy spring concoction was the perfect Easter dress. Skimmed all curves in a flattering fashion and had a PG13 peakaboo that was cute but modest enough to wear around my grandma. Received it new with tags and almost bought it but I’m trying to be frugal…will rent again!

Tight and shows all bumps but cute color
The bottom tapers down, and that makes walking a bit restrictive. Color is super cute but fabric shows everything so wear shapewear if you have any lumps or bumps.

Cute day dress with weird fit
Not flattering on me, but could be cute on others with a rockabilly flair. My large bust was rendered into a uni-boob, which was not ideal, but I loved the pockets and the undeniable quality.

Love the lemony pattern and the figure hugging silhouette. The XL was a little too big for me but I’ll order the large next time.

Draping not flattering
The draping is not great on my curvy frame. Such a shame, as I love the fabric and coloring.

Whimsical winner
I had the honor of cutting the tags off this brand new dress. Fun mix of prints and colors. Challenging piece would be perfect for an art opening

The silky texture of the fabric is a dream, the drop waist is not the most flattering, but overall an adorable dress of very high quality

Cute but a little short
The size 12 fit my 5'9", 175 lbs ver nicely, but they were just a tad short. Surprisingly comfortable and nicely lined

Good quality but wrinkly
Larger fit than I anticipated, but perhaps that's to leave room for a bulky sweater? The fabric felt like it was high quality but oh so wrinkled and I don't iron anything, so it was a no go for work, but wore it to a casual brunch with a friend.

The fabric is heavenly
This is such a flattering, figure hugging dress. I kept it for several weeks and considered buying it. Dress it up with boots or down with cute tennis shoes and you can't go wrong!

Classic, Chic and Warm
Great fit, with oversized flair. The color was the perfect neutral and the warm down filling kept me toasty during the damp San Francisco winter. Would love to rent again!

Heavenly, artsy delight
Wore this to a fancy lunch with my friend’s parents in Albacete, Spain and it was an absolute delight. It hugs all the curves while maintaining a parent-appropriate modesty. It packs well, with no wrinkles despite being jammed into my carryon. The gorgeous sky blue top of the dress deepens into a lovely landscape scene. I’ll rent again and highly recommend for a day dress that packs artistic punch!

Sexy, sweet little tropical number
Wore it on Christmas in Waikiki and turned heads at the lovely lanai where we had dinner. Scuba style material hugs curves nicely but would have loved a more snatched waist and an easier neckline to wear a bra. I made it work with a closely matched pink bra peakaboo situation though. Felt so comfortable and glamorous wearing this!

Pride smash hit
Felt like the belle of the ball at a recent semi formal Pride party. So many compliments! I’m 5’9” and I found it a little short, but thankfully the torso was cut long enough to accommodate my tall frame and curves.

Comfy like a soft tshirt
Wore this several times. It’s super soft and comfortable with a unique pattern that’s also subtle due to the light color palette. I wore during Southern California summer and it was lightweight yet covered, so versatile. Would never be able to afford at retail, so I’m happy I was able to rent!

Cute 90s vibe
Flatters the figure and looks good on a busty gal like myself. The sleeves add dramatic flair. One point off due to the slight harshness of the material.

Sheer elegance
Roomy fit with 70s flair -- the balloon sleeves gave it an extra oomph. It's sheer so wear a bra with full coverage or a cami if you want to keep the girls under wraps.

Silky sophistication
Love this blouse - I needed a polished look for zoom meetings and Bay Area early spring outings and this silky, sophisticated stunner made me feel so put together. Definitely would be a keeper if not so pricey to purchase. I'll try to rent again soon though!
