Nice alternative to a suit coat
This was a great alternative to a suit coat for work. Formal enough for work but could be cute to go out too. The waist narrowed a bit high on my waist/ribs but the flare was lovely and it paired nicely with a skinny pant.

Not the right fit
This may fit beautifully on a narrower frame but I found this dress very tights in the hips, which caused the front slit to gap a bit and threw off the fit overall. I received a lot of compliments but I was pretty uncomfortable most of the day.

Getting used to baggy trousers
After so many years of form-fitting trousers, I'm getting used to a more relaxed fit pant for work. This pair was a good transition. These pants were comfortable and dressy enough for work and paired well with my existing dress coats. I wouldn't buy these pants but they were fun to try for a few weeks.

Professional but playful
The fabric and fit on this dress were perfection. I was worried it would be too short for a conservative work environment, but this dress passed the "fingertip" test comfortably.

Comfortable, not so flattering.
I could have worn this all day, every day . . . It just wasn't flattering. The shoulder pads and waist rouching created some structure but, really, it was pretty shapeless.

Strange fit
I wanted to love this skirt but the make is so odd. The faux leather is only in the front with an open seat to the back. It created what van only be described as fins down the side of my hips. Probably great for others but as a hippy gal, it was not flattering.

One of a kind
Paired with skinny black pants and heels - great for work and rehearsal dinner. Waist sits high and arms are a bit tight, but comfortable overall. Stretchy but structured. Would rent again.

Cute but fit is a little off
Pros -The fabric is luxe and the shoulder structure is a stand out. Cons - The fit was weird. The lapels have no structure and flop a bit. The torso is cut wide and boxy while the arms are slim.

Fun twist of the wrap dress
Fit and feel are lovely. Length is perfect, below the knee. The pattern is a stand out but the color doesn't make it too extra.

Much love for shoulder pads
The shoulder pads are the story of this dress and you're going to love or hate them. I loved. The color is rich. The stitched pleats on the side provide a nice shape. Would rent again.

Slouchy perfection
Ultimate statement sweater. Skinny jean and leggings approved. The slit up the side does ride a bit higher than expected but a mid to high rise pant covers enough.

Wore two ways: untied, with buttons open and jeans for a casual look; tied tight to the neck with skinny, black pants for work. Gorgeous color. So many compliments.

Nice change of pace
Fabric is heavy but stretchy. As noted the arms and chest run small. Length is good - mid calf with a narrow a-line. Not my favorite piece ever but a nice change of pace for work.

Not very forgiving
Heavy fabric, beautiful. But for hippy gals, it's pretty straight and narrow in structure and not very forgiving on the curves.

Can I keep her?
Gorgeous and so flattering. The cut outs on this dress - arms and beginning several inches above the knee - add subtle interest to what could be a standard, albeit beautiful, turtleneck dress. There's something about the fit, length, and pattern that make this one feel special. It ran a little big in the top and waist. Perfect for work.

Surprisingly striking.
This one got me. I ordered as part of my membership on a whim and was blown away. There is a casual elegance to this top which paid dividends in compliments. It's not clear from the pictures, but the arms are sheer and light and the asymmetrical hem is incredibly flattering for an hourglass shape. Love x100.

Sleek, tailored, classic.
Received so many compliments on this jumpsuit! Classic cut in the front, open modern back. I wore with loafers but could just as easily pair with heels. Length was just above the ankle which made it feel fresh. BUT long torso gals - beware. The internal structure of the jumpsuit made the front ride up and top tight against my chest. Overall, because the cut appears loose, no one could tell I was a bit uncomfortable. Probably could/should size up. Would 100% rent again.

Not enough stars
The fabric is soft and stretchy but the lining and structure of the dress makes the fit so flattering. Comfortable, great length for work. And the cut of the arms/ruffles covered up that pesky underarm fat that usually shows off with sleeveless dresses. Color and fabric scream fall.

Beautiful fabric, bulky fit
Rented for bridal shower. The material is lovely and the dress well-constructed. For a wrap, I was impressed that the clasps held the dress securely in place throughout the event with no shifting. The drape of material and placement of the wrap band around the middle made the dress bulky and shapeless. That said, it worked.

A head turner, for sure
This dress is light and bright. So comfortable with enough weight to hold its structure but light enough to feel comfortable all day. The shoulders aren't the first thing you notice but may have been my favorite part with some extra gathering to make your shoulders little broader. Many, many compliments.

Sadly, didn't fit
Of all my monthly picks, this was the one I wanted to work out the most. Unfortunately, the size was way off. Because of the dress's structure, the waist has to fit snugly. With my hourglass shape, it was way too large at the waist which made the top sag and skirt fall almost to the ground. It's a beautiful weight and color - I might just size down at least two sizes and try again.

Updated classic
For all of you who love a pencil skirt, this feels like a needed update. The fabric is heavy but very stretchy and the pattern (with the stripe up the back) is very chic. Hope you love your curves because this skirt will hug 'em. Would rent again.

Flattering and comfortable
Loved the dress. Ruching around the middle and the darker side panels make the dress very flattering. The fabric was very soft and stretchy which accentuated my figure without being overly tight. Good for work, would be great for a luncheon or bridal/baby shower.
