beautiful dress, perfect for third trimester
I wore this dress so many times in the third trimester and got many compliments. The color is vibrant, the fabric is a forgiving jersey. I chose this dress to wear for my baby shower, too. Definitely worth renting! Great with a cardigan and flats.

Nice fabric, very flattering
Love the way this shirt falls on me. Got many compliments. Very flattering for a curvy figure. I told a colleague that I felt very chic in it! And I just bought it!

So great that I just bought it.
Beautiful quality leather and simple, chic metal details. It's roomy without feeling enormous. Love love love.

A bit dowdy
It's a crepe material and comes with a navy camisole. But the bow at the neck makes the blouse dowdy and the neckline is too low to leave it untied. I wouldn't rent again.

Nice feminine details at the neckline and the length was perfect for me. It hit right at my hips. A bit of a busy pattern for my taste.

cute details, short torso and sleeves
I love the shoulder details and the quality of the thick fabric, but the torso and sleeves were too short. I'm 5'2, and I spent the entire time tugging them down.

Flattering and comfortable
I've rented this shirt twice and liked it. But I keep forgetting that the V neck is deeper than I personally would like. I kept tugging it up. I would wear a cami underneath it, but the fabric is just a tad too thick for that to work.

Great sweatshirt! It's not a sweater material, which I was expecting. But the sweater was really cute and very comfortable. It's perfect for casual Zoom meetings from home.

The other reviewers were right. I should've listened. The sleeves were comically long and large. The shoulders hung over my upper arms, and the sleeves were a full hand too long. The torso fit well.

Cute, breezy and comfy
I got an XL, and it was clearly a size too big. BUT the shirt is super cute and really comfortable. I didn't notice it in the photos, but the stripes are one color in the front, another in the back, and yet another in the color. This is a happy surprise and made the shirt even better. I'd rent again in a smaller size.

beautiful fit, feels professional yet special
My favorite part is the flattering neckline drape and the luxurious feel of the fabric. What a different quality of brand makes! I would rent this again in a heartbeat. I almost kept it for longer, but I figured it's time to swap out for other amazing outfits. It does wrinkle, so keep it on a hanger.

Great with a cardigan!
I wore this twice, once with jeans and another with black dress pants. I love the drape, even though it's a bit looser than I would have liked. I think I could've sized down and it would still be great. It's kind of weird by itself, and it's infinitely improved with a cardigan.

I love the shoulder pleat details and the way this dress falls. It's almost a crepe-like material, and looser around the stomach, which is perfect for my body type. I wore it to the symphony, and one of my friends asked if I lost weight! :)

very comfortable ... like wearing pajamas
Is it the most flattering shirt dress you will wear? No. It does billow, and I can probably size down. Will it be the most comfortable? Yes. This dress has become my summer uniform. I wear it everywhere I go. Even my husband told me I should just go ahead and buy it because I wear it like I already own it. :D

Cute bag, very small.
Like another commenter, I, too, thought this bag was much larger than it actually was. It’s really cute, and given its size, it held a lot of stuff: a long skinny cosmetic/pencil case, a very small wallet, my phone, a hair clip, portable phone charger and my keys. It’s really well made, and I might rent it again because it really is an adorable bag.

cute shirt, weird fit
I wanted to like this shirt. If it were just a regular shirt without the scarf/neck wrap, I would wear it out. But the way the collar is cut, the scarf tail never laid right, and I had these gaps. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe I'm wearing it wrong.

cute dress, terrible fit
This is a beautiful dress. The photos doesn't show that the trim is dark, dark blue followed by sky blue. My problem is that the material is textured jersey, which is just awful because it showed every bump and lump. It would be much better if it was made of some stiffer material.

cute dress, great color, but for small busts
I really liked this dress, but alas, the bust was very tight as to be uncomfortable. Because the bust area was so tight, I couldn't really put my arms around myself. So, good if you have a small bust.

runs small, tight around waist
I sized up as suggested by reviewers, but it still wasn't enough. I'm curvy, and the narrow A-line didn't help with the overall fit. The pink is very pale, and it didn't work against my skin tone. As other reviewers said, the white ruffle trim definitely needed ironing. Cute dress, great material, just not for me.

cute top, too small
I like the concept of the asymmetrical look, but the waist on this top was much, much too narrow. Because of the design of the sash, it's also difficult to take off. What a bummer.

Beautiful dress, quite short
This dress is beautiful and perfect for a breezy spring day. The fabric is substantive, and the orange *really* pops — it’s more of a neon orange. One quibble with it, and the reason why I can’t wear it to work, is that even with my short frame, the dress came several inches above my knee, and I found myself constantly tugging it down while sitting. I will hold on to it and wear to for date night with cute heels.

Great cut, substantial fabric, very structured
I’m new to wearing blazers, and this was a good one to try the look with. I love the substantial material and the structure it has. It does run small. Even after sizing up because of people’s comments about the narrow sleeves, the jacket was still too slim for me around the waist. It worked fine/better without buttoning it up, though. Overall, great jacket and will continue to be adventurous in creating the blazer look.

I love this top. The quality and fabric is excellent. It's perfect for spring. BUT it does run quite large. I rented my usual size, and it's at least one size too big.

cute idea, but not very flattering
I liked the design at the waist. The dress hit just at my knees, which is great. Sadly, I should've size up because even it zipped up fine, it was a tight around the stomach/hips and ended up not being very flattering at all.

Huge and baggy
Disappointed with out huge and baggy this dress is. I thought it'd be a more summer version of a dress I got on Modcloth of almost the exact style. I got an XL but probably could've worn an L or even an M. The dress hung on me and ended below my knees, exacerbating the frumpy effect. I might try again with a smaller size, but at this point, it's a hard pass.

Runs very small.
I rented a size up, and I still can't get the zipper past the lower back. What a bummer because this dress has a substantial material that's perfect for the chilly, drizzly wedding I wanted to wear it to.

Great shirt!
Love the emerald green on this shirt. The sleeves are a bit long (it came down to almost my elbows), but it didn't really bother me. The waist is a bit fitted, but then, I have a tummy. You can see it in the photos, but the fitted waist is paired with a blousy top. It works for my shape, though. Overall, great shirt, would rent again.

Weird sleeves, but otherwise fine.
I don't know what to say about these huge, poofy sleeves except that I felt like I was wearing those cotton arm warmers. The proportions were off. It's unfortunate, too, because I liked the other parts about the shirt.

Good quality ... felt weird
I like this shirt, just not on me. Good quality material, nice heavy ornamentation on the neckline (the best part of this shirt) and sleeves that are not comically large. But the stitching on the sleeves hit me just above the elbow, so it’s a little bit awkward, and then hem of the sleeves ended just above the wrist, also weird. Overall, it might work better for you if your proportions are more appropriate for this shirt than mine.

I wish I had known that it was a jersey material.
The style is gorgeous and very elongating. However, I wish I had known before I rented it that it was a jersey material and, therefore, EXTREMELY stretchy and not flattering to my figure at all. Every bump showed. Maybe I missed it in the reviews if someone had already mentioned it. Anyway. What a shame. I would have loved it in a thick cotton.

Soft, comfortable, POCKETS
I wore it to work and then again to the symphony on a date night. The fabric is unexpectedly soft ... I guess I thought it would feel like wool, but it’s a nice flat, supple fabric that kept me cozy. I love the collar and the longer length of the short sleeve. And it has pockets! The hem hit just above the knee.

adorable, professional, comfortable ... POCKETS
I am keeping this dress to wear again to work and possibly buying it. Nice heavy fabric. The design is cute yet professional. I'm 5'2, and dress fell just above the knees. I felt completely comfortable sitting, standing and walking around in it. I wore it with a cardigan because I thought the square armholes are weird. The second time, I wore it with a long-sleeve blouse under it, and love it even more!

Cute top, but very short torso!
This is a very cute top, but the torso is very short, even for my height. I spent most of my time tugging at the hem. If it weren’t for that, I’d buy it. The fabric quality is excellent for a blouse like this.

This dress has heft — nice, substantial cloth. The buttons are a nice touch. However, even though it zips up, it’s too tight around my hips to sit down.

Nice job, but narrow at the hips and at shoulders.
I like the sleeve detail, but didn’t love that it’s not embroidered on cloth for some parts of it. Some of the embroidery is more like netting, and it was looked weird with my arm peeking out of a long-sleeve shirt. I didn’t end up wearing it because it’s just a bit too narrow at the hips, and it’s quite tight at the shoulders — I couldn’t hug myself.
