Many compliments very comfortable, unique
This was my backup style and I'm glad I chose it. It was very comfortable yet interesting and professional. I wore it for a work presentation. I would say it runs every so slightly large but only because the fabric stretches a little as the day goes on and starts to bunch as you can see on the belly giving a pooch look. The length was great, just below the knee. Stylish and perfect for work.

Flattering and interesting but not practical
I went with my backup style in the end because it wasn't practical. Like many said the zipper just unzipped. I was renting for a work presentation and I couldn't be worried about exposing my bum while presenting. It is snug and runs small. I was expecting to wear the LR, I normally fit in a 10 dress but I would have worn the XLR if I had worn this style at all.

Comfy, flattering, fun
Not too hard to get in and out of alone. Flattering fabric. Nice cut. Runs true to size. A little longer than pictured on my 5'6" frame but not too long - just covering my ankles.

Great Spring or fall jacket. Without fail someone compliments this jacket when I wear it. The style is versatile. I may even wear it over a cocktail dress for an upcoming fall wedding.

Versatile kimono top
Very easy kimono wrap top. Looks great with jeans or with a pencil skirt. Very low opening though. I never wore it without a tank underneath. So versatile - easy to dress up or down. Love the soft lavender color with the dark navy blue. Liked it so much I added it to my closet.

Very Warm - Snug in the arms
This is so stylish but I think it was still too warm out to rent it just yet. It is very warm. I thought it was thinner but it is a very stuffed bomber. It looks really great but the arms are a little snug. It fit perfectly over a short sleeved shirt, not sure if any sleeve would fit in this. Would rent again when the weather gets cooler.

Tight Waist Cute Length Big Chafey Seams
The fabric is satiny and heavy but not hot - just structured. The color is very pretty and vibrant. Hits me at the knee (5'6"). The waist is very snug and comes up high, over my bottom rib. I would rent this again maybe going up one size because it is so good looking BUT only if it was for an event where I didn't have to sit much. I'm not sure the box pleats are flattering on my shape (pear). These are pretty neat but maybe just not quite for me.

Loved this as a cover over a sundress to shield from the A/C. Sleeves were a little long but I folded them up once and it looked great. Loved it. Wore it a bunch.

Light airy
Very pretty color and shape. I think my hips are a little wide for the tie to work like it does in the picture. So it always looked like a belly button window OR made the shirt cropped. It never just brought the middle up into a flattering knot but I still really liked it just couldn't wear it to work

Cute, sporty
I really liked this. It was true to size but the bottom hem wasn't as stretchy as the rest of the dress so it's not as comfortable as it could be while walking. Also, I'm not sure I understand the zipper in the back. it doesn't need it aesthetically or functionally so it only, again, serves to make the dress less comfortable than it could be. That said. I really liked this, wore it with heels and with sneakers.

Frumpy
Such a pretty print and fabric I didn't take the other reviews' word for it being awkward and frumpy. I went down one size and it's possible it would have looked better if I had gone down 2 sizes but I'm not sure since the issue is really about the construction of the top. The sleeves and the waist are very unflattering. It made me look like I had a big droopy chest if I had the waist pulled down and it looked maternity if I had it up. Either way, the sleeves make almost no sense. Still though - I got a bunch of compliments because the fabric and the skirt of it are so pretty (and I wore a white Rebecca Taylor Twill ruffle jacket over it to hide the top). I would have exchanged it if it wasn't already a replacement for completely a dress that had a sewing defect.

Nice not too basic top - not sheer
Cute details. Didn't need to wear anything underneath not see-through. Looked good tucked in or left out. The backside of the ruffle in the front under the chin would sometimes pop out. The color is a little graying? Perfectly workable shirt.

Comfy but not sloppy
LOVED LOVED LOVED. The comfort of wearing pajama pants all day but with a great polish and chicness. Wore these a few times: with a white frilly shirt, with a plain fitted black t-shirt, with a soft pink shell. It always looked great. Nice flowy without adding width. Lightweight fabric with functional pockets.

Easy and versatile, appropriate for office and also Fun
Hit right at top of knee (5'6") and had great stretch so it hugged the right curves without being clingy. It had some weight but wasn't too warm for late Spring. I wanted to wear it all the time.

Everyday but not boring.
So cute. Great light weight perfect for late Spring. Looks great with the sleeves rolled or full length. A little boxy but I fastened the buttons on the bottom hem tighter to cinch it in a bit while wearing it over a dress. Nice length for over a dress - hits above hip. Versatile color.

Heavy weight surprisingly fun sweater with slim arms
I loved this burnt orange/rust color. I missed the notes and reviews that said to size up but it worked out anyway. It was still flattering but snug on the arms and across the chest. I found it comfortable not restricting. The bottom hem seems a little stretched out? or doesn't lay exactly right but it didn't make the sweater unwearable. I may be seeing something that isn't there. I wanted to wear it more but it's very striking and people would wonder if I had any other clothes at some point

Weirdly sized pirate/puffy shirt sleeves attached to thin baggy sweater
This shirt is slim cut at the bottom/hip and baggy/large everywhere else. The sweater is thin and not opaque. The sleeves are enormous and wrinkle easily. It's a very weird look. I rolled up the sleeves to make it possible to wear without dipping sleeves into things.

Swingy Fun Medium weight coat
Fun coat. Not super warm, good for early spring or whatever this chilly season is now where late April is cold. Looks great open, zipped all the way up or collar laying open. Nice big pockets so gloves sitting in them don't add bulk. Didn't have trouble reaching pockets on the side seams.

Not so basic, perfect pants
The color and subtle pattern on these pants are stunning. I love the pockets and how they lay flat so they don't add width to the hips. Very cute and flattering ankle length. Look very polished for the office and worked for a night out as well. Medium weight - not too heavy for warmer weather but not flimsy. Honestly, perfect for this endlessly chilly Spring. I loved these so much I bought them.

Pretty Spring Colors
I love the light airy feel of this top. It was a pretty pinky cream color and the blue flowers really stood out in person. I really liked the top and was glad that the 3 buttons at the back of the neck were easy to fasten. I thought the sleeves were a lot more billowy than I expected and I don't think I have short arms. A very pretty top. I wore it with a faux leather leggings and with trousers.

Love The Look
I rented a 10 but usually wear an 8 - this fit well though I might have been fine in an 8 as well. The straps are adjustable on the cami underneath. Flattering on a pear shape. Wore this top to a dinner party and to work and it was a hit. Very comfy. Looks great with accessories and layered under a blazer.

Comfy and unexpectedly cool
These are really good looking leggings. I think they are true to size though they might be slightly big in the waist while they are snug everywhere else causing a little bit of slipping. I'm between an 8 and a 10 and the M fit and flattered. They add a suprising touch to work wear and are great for a night out. Loved the navy color

OK Surprise
The mystery wasn't that mysterious it was the jewelry the dress I rented was styled with. Unfortunately I was planning on wearing gold and the accessory was silver. I think I'd spring for a mystery again though.

Very pretty simple piece
I caught my skin in the hinge when putting it on but I might be a klutz. It was very pretty kind of bold and understated at the same time. Not at all heavy, barely noticed it on my wrist all night on NYE.

Sexy, fitted at the hips, not for pears
I almost got something else. I was torn between the M and the L. The dress is true to size but fitted with no stretch at the hips and the M would have been lovely if I wasn't planning on dancing. While it's fitted at the hips it is strangely large in the front right below the natural waist. In the M this wasn't an issue but in the L it created a big pouch. In the end I wore the larger one so I could move and not worry about the slit showing off more than I wanted to while dancing (in the M the slit was slightly open like the model pic). Being stuck between two sizes is a common Pear shaped problem so I wouldn't recommend this dress to other ladies who are larger on the bottom than the top.

Flattering and comfy
The top was really big - a common problem for pear-shaped women. The pants were long, I had to roll them up but it looked ok. The cut is very flattering and slimming on the leg. The crepe fabric shows the lines of your undergarments if you are filling out the bottom like I did. Overall really nice color (more of a muted gray green than the mossy color it looks like in the pic) and fabric but I wish I had worn a shirt or tank top underneath because I was tugging it back all night so my bra wouldn't show. I don't know if the M would have fit better (chances are it would have been tight on the hips) it wasn't available so I risked it with no backup size.

Stretchy, plus extra fabric
Ever so slightly large. This was my backup style so I didn't wear it but it looked great on. Flattering, stretchy, it felt like there was just a touch too much fabric around the waist. Probably great for very straight figures.

Sexy without being fussy or flashy.
Very comfy. Ruching was flattering. Wore it with black fishnets and booties for dinner and dancing. True to size but formfitting and forgiving at the same time. Fabric was soft but looking a little like it is beginning to pill. (Was closer to 160 lb when I rented this)
