Stunning.
Loved this dress! Wore it to an evening cabaret, and to a Mother’s Day Mass and brunch. Works day and night. It’s sooo good. Compliments galore. I found no problem with wrinkling.

Classic summer
Good look, denim’s a neutral, so goes with anything. A little awkward on an hourglass like me with certain outfits - but when you know what it does, it fits the bill.

I love this bag!!!!!! I will definitely rent it again. It dresses up and dresses down. Acid green animal print goes with everything, as far as I’m concerned. :) have fun with it!!

Very nice, empire is real
This is such a great print. It's very light material, great for a hot summer. The waist became more of an empire than I expected, which isn't always a problem...but in this case, the gathering did give me a pregnant look. It might be really nice for maternity. :)

Really nice, a bit tight
This is a great and versatile dress. Can work in office or on a date, or even at church/synogogue/etc. It's a heavier fabric, so works nicely in colder months. One thing I wasn't crazy about is it felt very clingy. People I was with didn't seem to think it was a problem, but I felt a little exposed for the tightness.

soooo cute - short
I love love love this print and I just want my whole winter life to be intarsia. Like other reviewers said, this is shorter than it appears in some of the model photos. It fits more like a crop-top sweater at times. Totally cute. Just something to be aware of.

Sticky zipper in two sizes.
I tried this in two sizes, the 4 fit everywhere, except the zipper was still nigh impossible to zip over my rib cage. Maybe it's just not for an hourglass? It's such a cool-looking garment. Too bad.

Lovely dress, Funny for me in middle
This dress is so nice. However, the vertical wide-knit banding in the middle on am hourglass like me just added heft. It felt like a huge ace bandage that wasn't tight enough. Decided against wearing.

This was a really nice sweater, especially for the price. However, it definitely hit my waist at a spot where the boxiness was unflattering.

Nice sweater dress
Really nice sweater dress for cold weather. I got lots of compliments on it. I am toying with renting it in a bigger size to get a more drapey fit. But my friends insisted on the tighter hip. If you're an hourglass like me, it just depends on what you're going for.

Way too tight on an hourglass figure - Size up?
I sooooo want to wear this dress 'cause it looks so great in photos. However, I rented it in a 4 and it was too small, and I rented it in a 6 and it was still too small! Boo! Basically, the 6 fit my waist and hips, but wouldn't zip up over my ribcage. So, my theory is that the cut is made for straighter figures. Not sure if I'll try an 8 just for kicks.

Cool but funny fit on me
This is a really cool dress. I unfortunately didn't end up wearing it, however, because the cut around the shoulder and neck just gave me a funny shape. If I had gotten it for a date night, where it was just me hanging out, I may have worn it. But the event I needed it for would be photographed, and I didn't feel right in it. It would probably look stellar on someone else.

I looooooove this dress. I wore it to a work Happy Hour, and I felt so chic, and even sexy while totally appropriate for my age (mid40s) and the event. Dress her up or down. The weight of the material is really satisfying.

Camp Shirt exactly as advertised.
This is a really great casual top. It is a boxy cut, so you're definitely getting the camp shirt vibe - think the women on the camping trip in the original Parent Trap with Hayley Mills. So, while I'm not going for that look every day, when I am, this fits the bill. Not sure if it's a poor construction thing, or if it's something RTW can fix when they steam it for distribution - but the collar folds a little funny at the top button. Probably not noticeable to anyone but the one wearing it...but I thought it was a little odd for Marine Layer to send out.

Effortless, heavier than expected
Love a shapeless dress! Great for the summertime balmy days look. There is a lining that is peeking beneath the hem - tried to jimmy the fabric around to see if it was just draping that way, but it think it’s from wear. The lining wasn’t as breathable as I’d like, either. It felt heavy on a hot day instead of breezy.

This is a great blouse. I will say, it read very “mom” on me (I’m a mom, but don’t always want to fit the stereotype ;) ). Still figuring out if I can edge it up in any way. Truly very pretty.

Tight in bust
This is interesting as it fits really tight in the bust, making the ta-tas pretty prominent. Hence, I'm saving it for a date or cocktail event this summer, whereas if it fit a little more loosely, I bet it could go easily as a sun dress. Maybe a size up would do the trick?

I am crazy about these pants. Elastic waist, easy as pie. So fun, I felt fabulous in them. I will be using them again for sure! I’m 5’3” and with a thick-soled sandal the hem was fine, no dragging. The only thing that would make these better would be pockets, alas there are none. Great pants.

Cute, muppet-chic
I didn't end up using the bag, because it looked like it had gotten a little too much love by now. Like a stuffy after lots of hugs. Therefore, the snap is a little tough to get to. Doesn't have to be a deal-breaker though. Could be the look you're after - in which case it's an amazing color. For real.

This has a great shape to it. Hamptons, sophisticated. Unfortunately, the button left a gap at the bust I couldn't tape closed, so I didn't wear it.

Country, pretty, volume
This is a great print and the crewel details are so nice throughout. The one thing I'll say is it fits a bit stiff in the middle, so I opted to tuck half in half out to avoid looking like it's maternity - honestly, would be great for maternity, now that I think of it.

This is sooo nice. I bought it, coz I couldn't imagine saying goodbye to it. I think I'll wear this with everything this summer. Light and airy material. The fit is slouchy, as you see on the model. The shoulder seams hang lower than your own shoulders. So cute. Can't wait.

Awesome look, tiniest bit of sheerness
I ended up buying these because the were such a deal for pretty great pants. I adore the color and print. Even when I went up a size the hips still fit a little weird, but not enough for me to say goodbye to them. There's a bit of sheerness to the material so avoid dark undies.

Wanted this to work even better than it did.
This had a great summer vibe. 5'3"and the hem was just at the floor. No worries there. It is honestly soooo cute, and I was very close to buying, save two issues: 1) sticky zipper. There's one seam over which it was virtually impossible to get the zipper over. I had to have my kid help me. The elastic allowed me to get it on and off without going all the way over that lowest seam, but let's face it, you're not always gonna have luck with that. 2) the gathering in the bust area concentrated too much fabric on the sides, giving off a funny proportion. They should have gathered the material more at the front.

Backless creates some fit challenges
I think if this was altered, or on the exact right body, this would totally work. It's a terrific print and idea. I didn't end up wearing it because the backless feature caused some funny draping issues in the rest of the fit - especially when deciding how/where to tie the sash.

I didn't get to wear this because I think I may need a size smaller...or it's just one of those that would need alterations down the line. My bust seemed to fit, but everything else was too roomy. It's a good casual dress, though. Probably great for hot days to cooler nights, I imagine.

Great color, leans bucolic.
Wow, the color is fantastic. The print is a sophisticated calico, and the construction is top-notch. On the right body and/or for the right vibe, can totally, totally work. For me, my bust is just a bit too much for all this gathered material at the empire waist, so unless I had an Oktoberfest event, this just felt way too milk maid for me to feel totally right in public.

This is a great option for between seasons. I have found that it works really well high 40s to low 60s. The lining is drooping in the back, but I don't think it showed from the outside.
