Perfect pregnancy dress
Wore this at 20 weeks pregnant and it's the perfect dress to show off your bump. It's a flattering material and light enough for summer temps. It can be dressed up or down to work in multiple settings (wore both for work and to a semi-formal singing performance). Will rent again post-pregnancy and am considering buying.
Green Crochet Dress

Not for small busts
I wasn't the biggest fan of this jumpsuit, mostly due to the fit in the chest. It had a button on the inside to help keep the top closed, which meant that only one half of the top had an adjustable tightness. I'm a B cup and found that I couldn't make the chest tight enough to not gape. It was really comfortable and great for late 2nd/3rd trimester, but I wouldn't rent again.

Liked, not loved
I didn't love how the material is slightly see through, but it is really comfortable and great to show off a growing bump. Wore at 18 weeks pregnant - normally a 4 and the medium fit perfectly.

Great maternity option
This dress hugs all of your curves, which worked for me at 18 weeks pregnant to show off my bump. Not sure I'd rent again not-pregnant though as I felt like the fabric didn't really hide anything in the tummy area even with a loose fit. It's a heavier material but still felt breathable on an 80 degree day.

Decent maternity jean
Ordered one size down after reading other reviews and that's definitely the right call. I wore these from 14-18 weeks pregnant and probably could've gone 2 sizes down as they stretch out throughout the day. I'm 5'3" and these were a bit shorter than I'd like, but not short enough to be a true crop. Liked them well enough for a maternity jean but not sure if I'd rent again.

Wanted to buy this one
Fits slightly oversized, I'm between a small and medium depending on the brand, but the small was pretty roomy. It's quite warm, so probably best for spring or chillier summer evenings. Got so many compliments and almost bought it.

Black tie winner
Wore this to a black tie wedding and felt like a million bucks! The built in bra actually worked and I didn't have to adjust the top of the dress at all throughout the night. I sized up (personal preference) but my normal size probably would've worked too.

Another Hill House win
I've rented this multiple times and should probably just buy it at this point.

Perfect for a winter ballet
Got so many compliments on this dress at the ballet. Perfect for wintertime and fit true to size, though it was difficult to wear a normal bra due to the cut of the chest.

So many compliments
I wore this to work and received so many compliments!! The shape was incredibly flattering yet still conservative enough to wear in an office setting. It's also quite warm so great for the winter months. Will look to rent again.

Ended up not wearing
I'm fairly petite. This vest was just way too large and was more boxy than I expected. I ended up not wearing.

Neckline a bit too tight
I found the fit on this top a bit weird. The neckline was very tight and I found myself regularly trying to pull the blouse away from my neck. With all the adjustments, the detailing on the top started to fan outward instead of upward and had a weird look. The rest of the shirt was a bit loose, so I think it was just a sizing issue for me. The shirt was still cute but I wouldn't rent again.

Comfiest jeans ever
Definitely size down - I'm normally a 25-26 in jeans but the 24 fit perfectly! I'm only 5'3" so they weren't as cropped as I'd hoped for but still very cute and comfortable. I'd rent again.

The perfect romper, great for petites!
I wore this to a party, with cocktail attire requested and definitely felt like this romper fit the bill. My boyfriend absolutely loved this romper, and I got numerous compliments throughout the evening. After reading the other reviews that the arms fit tight, I decided to size up for both sizes. I am normally a zero and ended up wearing the 2, which fit perfectly. The arms were snug on the 2, but weren't uncomfortable. The top clasp in the back was difficult to clasp, but easily resolved with the help of a boyfriend or bathroom buddy. The lace was gorgeous and worn with a pair of heels, the length was perfect. Highly recommended and would rent again!

Wanted to buy this dress!
As other reviews have mentioned, this dress runs small and even for someone with a smaller bust, it was a little tight (though not uncomfortable). I normally wear a 0 and after reading other reviews, I ordered the 2/4 and the 2 fit perfectly. The dress was so comfortable and even had pockets, so I didn't have to carry a purse. It is very classy and I got so many compliments all night. Would definitely rent again!!
