I've rented this dress three times. I feel like a movie star every time.
Long and flowing, with a spectacular print, this dress is a stunner. At 5'6, most maxi dresses trail annoyingly behind on the ground, but this one has a shorter length that allowed me to wear it comfortably with flats. I may have to keep this one.

The cut, color, and print of this dress are perfect. The fabric wrinkles easily, and it slid down.
This dress is a great idea with imperfect execution. Unlike other DVF silk dresses I've rented, this one wrinkles a lot. Also unlike other DVF wrap dresses, this one did not want to stay in place. It kept trying to expose the slip that I wore underneath. Overall, I thought this one was more hassle than it was worth.

Beautiful fabric, flowy dress.
I think you must be large-chested for this one to work. I am, and it did, but only barely. The material is lovely, but it keeps trying to snag.

This dress was comfy retro glam. Oh, and it has pockets.
Beautiful, flattering, light fabric. Gapped a little at the neckline, which kept it from being a home run. It also runs fairly large (things are not usually loose on me in the bodice, but this was).

Felt beautiful at the (breakfast) event and all day after!
This is a true wrap dress, with all the hassle implied. I wore it with a slip, which helped keep everything in place and covered up. Received compliments all day long and felt completely amazing. The pictures do not do it justice.

Comfy and cute, if a little juvenile.
This sweatshirt was comfortable and fun to wear. The floral pattern, especially coupled with the extreme ruffles on the sleeves, comes across a little juvenile. Still, overall was spot-on for the purposes I rented for.

Flowing and funky. Great for summer!
This dress has a lot of material below the waist, which gives it a fun, flowing look. Unfortunately, as other reviewers have also pointed out, it means that it is not that flattering for the lower waist/hips. At 5'6", I found this dress too long to wear with flats (not that it stopped me), but 3-inch heels or platforms probably would have worked well. The material is very light and was comfortable on hot days in the city.

This dress was comfortable, flattering, and cool.
This dress is made out of some sort of magical, stretchy material that allows it to be both form-hugging and forgiving. Both the clasp at the top and the wrap at the bottom provide sufficient coverage for modesty (though I wore a tank underneath, just to be safe). I felt like the cool girl at the office.

I felt very pretty wearing this for everyday occasions (dinner with friends, work).
I wore this with a camisole underneath, and it fit well. The fluttery sleeves do feel like a throwback, but the overall look is elegant.

I wore this on and off for a couple weeks (didn't want to return!)
The sweater was different and chic. Minus one star for slight unraveling at the back.

I wore this a few times during transitional weather.
It ran very large, and seemed battered. It was stylish but not what I had hoped.
