Too small. Wouldn't zip.
Too tight in the chest. Couldn't close the zipper.

Love this bag. Roomier than you'd think
I love that this has a crossbody strap. I rarely used it, but it's there if I needed it. Roomy. I rented it because it reminds me of my grandma and her love of hummingbirds. It's bright and cheery.

I loved this dress. I bought it.
The first dress I rented, the zipper failed in public at an event. The customer service to get this remedied was not all that great especially since I said I wanted to buy it, but they sent me another and I did purchase it. HOWEVER, it has remained in my bag for two weeks despite numerous emails and calls to the company which said they'd take care of that right away so I wasn't able to rent anything else. Dress is great, though. Soft, comfy, pockets. Perfect.

This dress is really comfortable, though kind of weird with the heavy weighted fabric at the bottom.
Because of the weather, I ended up wearing leggings with this dress, which was actually a little big. I'm not a huge fan of the weighted bell hemline, and it was too big in the upper chest/shoulder area. But it was cute. I'd consider renting it again but I'd size down at least one. Maybe two sizes.

I got a lot of compliments on this, though I wasn't entirely comfortable in it. Not my style.
This dress is cute. It's a surprisingly light fabric, but for me the shoulders in the contrasting attempt at "pleather" were noisy and uncomfortable. The shoulders and upper chest area were too large, so it bunched kind of weird. It would be a simple alteration if I owned the dress, however. Good length. I wore leggings and a black cardigan and it worked nicely for an evening meeting I had.

This dress is so light and comfy. Loved it.
I wore this dress twice and went to work, out shopping during an art festival and brunch at a fancy restaurant. I loved it. So comfy. So flattering, so cute. May have to buy it.

I wasn't able to wear this because it was so short.
Wasn't able to wear this out because it was so short. If I had been going to a function where I didn't need to sit down, maybe, but sitting in this just exposes buttcheeks. I am very short, but have a big booty. On thinner person, it might not be an issue. Beautiful dress, though.

Decided not to attempt temporary hem, so didn't wear. Beautiful. Loved it otherwise. I'm too short.
It's so pretty. I really wanted to wear it to a symphony event but it was just too long. Thought about trying fashion tape to hold up the bottom ruffle but decided not to change damaging the fabric.

I cannot believe how many compliments I got in this dress.
I almost didn't even wear this because the color is really bright orange. But I like orange, so I did. It's very flattering and a little long on me.

This was ok. Not terribly flattering.
I got several compliments on this top when I wore it to work but I didn't think it was very flattering with the way the bodice is broken up. The strings are also really long .

Nice top!
This is comfy, light and fits well. I thought the tie on the back of the neck would bother me all day but it didn't.

Top is cute, too tight in the arms
The top would probably be great for someone with smaller arms. It was light and fit well through the body. But it was too tight in the shoulders and I had to unfasten the buttons on the sleeves.

I actually got compliments on but from old ladies
The loud print might be ok if they weren't made of such unappealing fabric. Fit was fine - I'm super short so they fit like normal pants. Someone an work thought it was a skirt. Comfortable.

Got a lot of compliments on this bag.
This bag is pretty great, but it's just not big enough for me. I am one of those big bag girls. Also, the pockets on the inside were too small for even my cell phone and the outside clasp is pretty and interesting but not terribly practical.

These will fit a short girl, but it's not the best look, perhaps.
I knew this was a gamble. I'm very short, with very short legs, so my hope was these pants fit like normal pants on me. Alas, they have this apparently stylish slit up the side of each leg that just made me look even weirder. And the material is so grandma-y it is not something I would want to wear again. They were comfortable though.

I got three compliments before I even punched in at work.
I wasn't sure if I'd like this top, based on the cut, but I felt it was really flattering and I got compliments all day long on the color. It was comfy and not at all revealing for work. Would wear again.

It was a nice dress, but the chest is weird.
I really wanted to love this dress and from the waist down I totally did. It's flowy and soft and comfy and has pockets! And the color is wonderful. BUT... the boobs are so weird. The whole body pic is how it goes, and the chest one is after I tried with a safety pin to fix it. I ended up having my son's babysitter try and refix it, but if it stays closed on the cleavage, it made a weird droopy opening at the bottom. I do not have a small chest. The ruffledoodles on the shoulders also made it weird to wear with a cardigan over it.

I got so many compliments on this dress and did not feel at all uncomfortable in it.
This dress seems to run a bit big, as this was a backup size smaller since my original was unavailable and the backup was maybe even a bit big. It seemed heavy on the hanger with all the beads but did not feel at all that way once it was on. It was also comfortable and the beads didn't rub nor did I feel like too much skin was showing anywhere. Really liked it.

This dress is really cute. The exposed back makes bra choice tricky and it's a little scratchy.
I like the way the dress fits, but the sequins are a little scratchy in the arm area. I had hoped it wouldn't be in the 80s in October for the event I wore this to, but it was and it was a little hot because the fabric is heavy. It's really pretty and fits nicely though. Would wear again. I did wear it with a regular bra with just some pulling and tucking to keep it from showing in the back.

This dress was great. Comfortable, can wear a regular bra with it. Just enough zazz.
I chose the smaller backup size and maybe could have even gone down one more. It fit great and I loved the cleavage and length. The sequins are small enough that it doesn't even rub too much under the arms and it also hangs beautifully. Would definitely rent again. Maybe in a different color this time!
