A dress with pockets is always a winner!
This fit well everywhere except in the arms. It was tight across the shoulders and arms, but not the bust. I think if I sized up it would have required a belt. As long as you don't require a lot of arm gesturing freedom, it is a nice dress for work.

Professional dress in a fun fall color
Comfortable, professional, and overall a nice dress. I'm typically a size 4 and occasionally a size 6. Rent the runway suggested a 6 for this dress. The 6 was wearable but a 4 would have been better.

My mom told me it looked like the smock she made in home ec
Rented it thinking it would cover my postpartum bulge and be a top I could nurse in, but it was too unflattering to wear. It fit awkward in the chest, the belt didn't sit right, and the fabric was bulky. The deal breaker was my mom telling me it looked just like a smock she made in school.

Great warm weather dress
Comfortable and still structured enough for work. Plan on wearing it to the office and over the weekend. This dress fit well in a medium at 29 weeks pregnant (pre-preg size small).

Great color but sash kept untying
Would have been 5 stars if the sash could have stay d tied for more than 5 mins. Too is heavy and the sash weighed too much for the material to stay tied. Wore it at 26 weeks preg and sized up.

Perfect fit
Pre-preg size was 26, but I'd always size up in white pants. The 27s fit perfectly at 26 weeks. I loved that they aren't over the bump, making them much more comfortable with summer humidity. They are a denim material so they might be too hot for some climates.

Gorgeous color
Incredibly comfortable and flattering maternity dress. As a few other comments mentioned there is a weird seem that cuts your chest in half (maybe only on bustier people). It wasn't all that noticeable though, and I didn't feel like it took anything away from the dress. At 26 weeks my pre-preg size fit perfect. It didn't ride up and become too short like some other maternity dresses I've tried. Will likely rent again!

Amazing
These pants are unbelievably comfortable. I'm in my second trimester now and wishing I tried these sooner. My regular jeans still fit but after trying these I never want to go back. They fit true to size, and I was able to comfortably wear the same j brand size I wore pre-pregnancy. Downside is they come close to showing crack when I squat down and need to be pulled up even when sitting. A belt might solve that. Something to note is they have a little sparkle to them - not really noticeable though.

Gorgeous as a robe but didn't work as a dress
Fit was bizarre and unflattering. Tried putting a tank top underneath but still looked awkward. Ultimately couldn't wear it out.

Great dress!!
Awesome golden color. Almost the perfect length with 2.5-3" heels. Runs small in the chest. Originally rented in a 2 but returned for the 4.

Lightweight fall pants
Nice fall colored pants in a light, breathable,and slightly elastic fabric. Easy to move around in and really comfortable to wear. They seem designed to be looser, but may also run big. Recommend if you're between sizes, that you size down. I'm 2-4, the 2 was a roomy fit. I wore it with an oversized sweater to hide bagginess around waist. Liked that they had a fall look to them but were lightweight, perfect for a warm office or mild fall weather.

Actually fit my large laptop
Was able to hold all essentials plus 15" laptop in its thick case and not look like it was over stuffed. Another plus is the bag itself was relatively light.

Too big
The pants were nice, and I'd definitely rent them again a size down. Typically between 2-4 and the 2 was too big.

Fun dress
Pros: really cute and something different. Loved that it was short in the front so I didn't have to worry about wearing heals or trying not to trip on it Cons: the ties around your neck are a little heavy. for the first hour or so of wearing it I felt like I was choking, but I got used to it.

2nd time renting them
Loved them so much I rented them twice. The second time I rented the wrong size though. Typically between a 2-4. 34 fit great but the 36 was too big. Was still able to wear them, they just looked a bit like clown pants.

Great everyday dress
One of the easiest things to wear. Loved how comfortable it was. More on the conservative side, but stylish all the same. The 4 was a nice fit, it stayed buttoned up top (32D) and was a good length, hitting about mid-calf but not an awkward/unflattering way.

Fun retro dress
Comfortable dress for work or fun. Light enough for mid-80s weather. Buttons closed over chest and didn't pop open.

Perfect for work
Simple black dress that came just below the knee on me. Very comfortable, easy to wear, and yet still looked put together. True to size - I'm a size 2 -4, went with the 4 based on other reviews, and think a 2 would have fit just as well, if not better.

Nice color
Cute purse to hold the essentials when going out day or night. I was looking for something that that I could put in my tote or backpack to use when heading to lunch or anywhere else, and found it a bit bulky for the amount of interior space.

Paired nicely with higher waisted work pants and looked good with jeans. Overall useful. Shirt was a little worn in.

Great for brunch
Incredibly comfortable skirt, stylish without looking you tried too hard...but I actually had a tough time finding the right top to pair with it. Eventually succeeded with a plain blousier tank, but it wasn't without effort. Would probably be easier for someone with a smaller bust or longer torso.

Fun dress that still manages to look classy
Great for a fancy date night or semi-formal event. Thick fabric was figure flattering, and despite the cut-outs, the dress didn't feel revealing at all. Also longer than I expected - more like knee length on me. Ultimately felt too dressy for where I ended up going, but would definitely rent again for a different event. Sizing: I'm typically between 2 and 4. I rented the 4 based on other reviews, and it fit perfectly!

Gorgeous dress! Perfect for vacation
Pros: loved the pattern, the flow of the fabric, and the side slits. Felt like a movie-star wearing it haha Cons: The shoulders were too broad and the material would bunch up by the seam. It was also too low cut for me (32d/dd) to wear without a bandeau top underneath. The layer underneath + the bunchy fabric made it look more conservative than I wanted. Loose in the waist as well...but that meant I could have twice the amount of dessert :)

Nice casual top
Comfortable and casual - perfect for a warm day. Overall it fit well, but I would have liked it more if it was just an inch longer. Wore it with a navy lace bandeau bra, just in case it peaked out a bit.

considering renting again in xs
Fit was a bit too roomy for me, but still thought it looked nice and was very comfortable. The color of the dress that I received was faded, but I only knew that because they included a back-up belt which was likely less worn than the one stitched to the dress. I actually ended up liking the faded color better!

Fun and unique + great for work
Shoulders were narrow, so the pads didn't line up just right on me. The fit was perfect everywhere else though. Would definitely rent this again in a 4.

Flattering, comfortable, professional
Loved this dress! Easily dresses up or down. Fits true to size. I'm between a 2 and 4, and the 4 was slightly loose, but I think it looked better that way. Beautifully made and hangs really nicely.

Stylish comfort
Runs large. I'm typically a small top, rented the xs, and still felt it was a size too big. Nonetheless it looked cute with a fitted tee underneath, plus was comfortable and warm. Felt like I was wearing fashionable and work appropriate pjs.

Great dress, great fit, lots of fun to wear. Rated it a 4 bc I didn't like how obvious the sheer mesh was close up, and bc the black slip under the dress would peak out. Still loved it overall though!
