Work dress
As others have mentioned the material is very thin (but not transparent) - so may want to wear a slip or spanx under. I needed static spray to avoid it clinging. The dress is very versatile and could easily be paired with a sweater on top since the material isn’t bulky. The design was very classy. The sleeves are a great option for those who don’t want their arms fully exposed. Fit TTS, possibly slightly small up top. I’m only a 36b and it was def snug. *I could NOT figure out the belt. it’s attached/sewn to the dress on one side. but when you go to tie it, one side is about 12 inches longer than the other (zoom in on photo). I tried a couple of different knot ties and they all looked odd.

Loved
Loved this one! Thick material so less worry with “lines.” Husband loved it. Wore for work and out for a dinner date (paired with a gold chain belt for the date). Solid rental! Fit TTS and was comfy. While the dress stretches, the midsection is def form fitting and snug. I paired with spanx after photo taken to smoothe everything. Love Sandro!

A little short
Received a lot of compliments at work. Had to wear a black thin tank underneath to make it appropriate, as it was too short for me (I’m 5’11” with an average torso but very long legs). The material was thick and comfortable. The frayed top and ties on the side “made it.”

Solid choice
V comfortable. Fit TTS. Got for work to pair with a black sweater. Top is a thicker ribbed material so don’t have to worry about any “bra indention lines” and the likes. Flattering. Nice balance of preppy Lilly Pulitzer type print at the bottom with a solid top. Nice cuts.

Soft
So soft! Will likely need static spray. It bunched a little weird in the middle making me feel a little self-conscious. The waist, though, draws dress in, in a flattering way, Material is very soft / feels satiny. Worth the rental (wore to worn but versatile). Currently a 8. Fit TTS. Good choice for tall ladies.

Versatile any time of year
Enjoyed re-living my flower girl days of the 90s in this dress. The material is a thick sweater type of material that is forgiving for “lines” (I wore spanx). I found it to be a little tight in the hips, but was TTS. It was comfortable!

Wore to work a few times with some black slacks. Very comfortable! Didn’t feel cheap. Was a teeny bit on the short side for me (would def show my belly button if I were reaching for something) so I wore a black cami underneath.

Fun!
Tbh I was so worried about the puffy sleeves on this one. I have broad shoulders and am tall so am not into the whole linebacker look. The sleeves were perfectly cut for emphasis without making me feel uncomfortable. The sleeves are made of stiffer material so they stayed up and didn’t look like a wilted flower, even by the end of the rental. I was over the moon with this rental! I wore to work, to a folk sesh, on a date, and to a baby shower. Note as others have said, the V is deep, so I wore a white cami-style bra top underneath for work. I felt mediocre about renting this one but it ended up in my top 10!

Good rental
Good fabric and steamed well. Great button closure ensured no gaping areas. The cut was a bit disproportional for my long torso so tall ladies be aware. (The ties didn’t fit waist level and the top itself was a little short). I think it would work well for most though, so no hard feelings! The top was a bit snug - I’m a 38B.

FUN DRESS
Please note the material is translucent so will need a slip or something underneath* - it’s even a little hard to tell at first because the material is substantial without being “too thin.” Got this for work and running around town/brunch. Ended up wearing to work and on a date. I just adored this one! It felt very mod and made me smile while wearing! The dress has ties which I tied in the back but the dress flared a little in the sides making it appear slightly maternity-esque but I didn’t really mind. It was super comfortable. I would say just order normal size (currently an 8 and ordered a M) since the material doesn’t flex and is kinda fitted up top. If you have a small frame and top, you might be able to get away with ordering a size down. Got a ton of compliments on this one! An enjoyable rental for sure.

I wore this cute skirt about 4 times and regretted having to return. Fits TTS (I’m currently an 8). The colors are fall-oriented and there are a variety of colors without it being too much. Offers a lot of flexible for tops as well. The material is satin and steams very quickly! Note that it does wrinkle pretty easily with prolonged sitting. Truly a beautiful fabric and print!

TTS, fits variable colors for the top. Wore mine w a khaki colored vest. Could pair with mustard, white, navy, or mint green as well (there’s a lil bit of mint in the details of the gold-colored design). Got a couple compliments at work. It is flowy so could accommodate diff shoe types. I have to wear close-toed so I actually wore w doc martens and it wasn’t bad

Cute!
This is a quality dress, from the cut to the material (very thick). V flattering to curves- the cut brings in the waist. Currently a size 8- rented an 8- I found it to run tts but it was very tight in my bust- I could barely zip it up. The waist was snug. *There is a black ribbon that begins on the sides and you can tie it in the back or wrap around to the front.* Wore it with a black cardigan to work. It’s a solid rental.

Received nwt. Found it to run tts but it is on the “smaller 8” end; material has very little stretch. It was unfortunately too short to wear to work, but I wore it out to dinner. In typical VB style, the buttons were fabulous.

Too short
The vest was about 3 inches too short in the back (the back is shorter than the front) when paired with the jeans the model is wearing (which aren’t even low cut). I did not wear since it was so disproportionate. I didn’t find this to run big at all. It was really cute—just wish it was longer.

This dress got me on board with Farm Rio! The colors and detail in the ruffles made it a delight to wear. It was comfortable as well! The low cut in the front ensured that it didn’t look too “homely.” Ran TTS. Highly recommend!

FAVORITE RENTAL EVER
She’s a STUNNER! Bravo, PatBo! The dress quality is outstanding and the cut is very flattering! No bra was necessary as the top provided adequate support. Wore comfortably in 90 degree weather— and while there is a lot of “material,” I did not feel confined or overtly hot (which I often get). The chiffon is very flowy and elegant. I have never received more compliments on a single garment in my life. Runs a little small—I sized up one size and am glad I did… there is no elasticity in the dress. I have wide shoulders and a large rib cage and the ties at the back of the dress allowed for a more customized fit. I was sad to return this one! It was my favorite rental yet. 10/5 stars! Warning: it runs LOOOONG. I am 5’11 and ordered the long— it still dragged the ground by about 4 inches. I could have gone with a petite, even, as the asymmetric cut at the bottom would absolutely complement an above-ankle look.

Runs small, size up
Very happy I trusted the other reviews and I sized up— it was still extremely snug. However, it has lots of stretch. The chest area was extremely tight (and I’m a 36B). The dress itself was extremely comfortable and steamed easily. I wore several times before returning- it was wonderful in the summer heat. Extremely versatile dress

Runs TTS. The dress is shapeless which makes it feel a little like a potato sack. The bottom of the dress is a little narrow so I couldn’t take long strides in it. Fun rental, though

Get it!
Received this NWT in perfect condition. The fit is TTS. The rushing is great and helps hide any less-than-desired back/bra bumps, but I ended up not wearing one. Very comfortable fit- I wasn’t messing with the sleeves at any point in the evening. I also tried the matching skirt combo and it was divine- but I needed to open up another spot in my shipment so sent it back- for now,

Vaca approved!
I was questioning if I was too old to wear something like this at 39, but it was a solid dress that helped me to step outside my comfort zone while vacationing at the beach. I felt younger while wearing it , without feeling ridiculous. It gives off good energy. It looks like a dress but is actually a romper! It flares out slightly at the bottom and I had to use a steamer on it to get some creases out from mail transit. Perhaps most importantly - the straps are fully adjustable and did not come undone from where I had pulled them to, whatsoever! I’m really sad to let this one go- maybe I’ll give it another go before sending back. We’re not getting any younger, right?!

Summer beach vibes
Tall girl friendly! I’m 5’11” for reference. Usually rompers go up my crotch so was apprehensive to rent; however, several other reviews mentioned it worked for them. So glad to have gotten this one! Wore out at the beach for dinner and received several compliments. Runs TTS. My B cup size didn’t fully fill out the front - (I’m 36b with a wide ribcage) but the back of the bust was pretty snug. So, for whatever that is worth. Length is great! Was a very breathable material and I didn’t feel too sticky in the humid FL weather (in July, mind you). Get it!

Oy. A tad short!
I think the photo says it all- lol. It was a “did not wear” obvs The denim was a little stretchy and there’s some slight give, but still order TTS. The denim itself is comfortable because as prev mentioned, it isn’t stiff and crunchy. I was a little worried about the sleeve fit but they were absolutely fine. I would have rocked this over town if it were longer. For ref: I am 5’11” with 34” inseam

Great skirt!
Very comfortable! Wore to an outdoor concert and felt great. I saw some reviews to size up- not really sure if it was necessary but you never know with denim; I did and it was fine. On the shorter size for a 5’11” person but wasn’t up my butt so count your victories. Did I mention it was very comfortable? Super soft denim. It actually had a lil stretch to it as well. Solid rental

Loved it!
This was a solid rental! Wore this dress prob 3 times in 1.5 months. Received new with tags. Material is very forgiving since it is so thick, but has no stretch whatsoever. I was very happy I ordered a size up (6 to 8) as the 6 would have been way too tight. I have a 36B chest and the size 8 was tight in the chest for me. This can easily be accessorized with flats, even sneakers- or cute tan wedge sandals or black heels. A versatile rental! Length was ok for my 34” inseam. Size up!

Great everyday dress
This is a great linen everyday dress if you don’t know what to wear or are running behind… I wore several times and was able to dress it up with heels or down with sneakers. It hit me mid-shin and I am 5’11” for reference. The material does not have any stretch. I am only a B cup up top and it was very, very snug. The slit in the front wasn’t ever problematic while sitting or walking. Also, my iron broke so I had to steam it to release the million wrinkles, and it took a while. The cinching in the waist makes it friendly to all body types.

Fits tts/maybe slightly large; I went with an 8 to be safe, since there were no reviews at time of rental- and could have sized down. It was comfortable to wear for a date night and my husband liked it a lot. As others have said, the material is thick and a bit stiff. It took only 60 seconds to steam/dewrinkle so it would be great for traveling. The skirt hit me mid to low shin and I have a 34” inseam. Great fit for the tall ladies!

Parachute pants!!
These pantaloons are so different than anything that I would typically wear; after seeing them look so good on everyone I decided to give them a try. Hands down one of my favorite rentals! They are SO COMFORTABLE. The material is like 80s jogging suit material (I guess nylon/poly blend?) Absolutely size down in them or they will swallow you. Legs were long enough for my typical 34" inseam. I wore them to a friend's birthday event and received several compliments on them. Will definitely be renting again!
