Perfect black tie event bag
Perfect bag for me and my event. My phone is huge and fit just fine, with other evening essentials (lipstick, credit card, etc) Chain is removable, but I just tucked it inside the bag so that I could hang it in my chair. I love a clutch. I'm 5'7" - if I was any taller the purse may have hung too high. I'm sure it's fine if you're taller, but if you prefer a longer chain, this may not be right for you.

Exactly what you expect
Fit was a touch large. But it is exactly what you expect from Ralph Lauren. I'm 5'7" and length was to the ankles. No slit.

Exactly what you expect from Ralph Lauren. Called a tee, but it is sweatshirt material. Very lightweight sweatshirt, but definitely more than a t shirt. Wore in Florida in May - was fine. Not too hot.

Size down for safety!
I fell going up steps. Later I fell on the sidewalk. I sized up because they didn’t have my size. They were way too big. The legs are super wide and long. I tripped multiple times. Super cute pants but way too big. I would love to see how my real size would fit. Maybe next time! Pants are silk, I assumed they would be linen. Pleasant surprise! I was nervous they would look like pajamas, but they were ok.

Just ok
I don't feel very feminine in this top. Perhaps it was too large.

It was a little big, but comfortable. Not wool, some of their bear sweaters are wool. Be sure to read the labels before renting. This was a perfect sweater for transitioning winter to spring.

Cute everyday too. I got a size up because they didn't have my normal size. Arm holes were big. You can take the tie to the front or the back.

Versatile
Felt like I could wear this to work, to the bar, or to the altar! The "wing span" is a big large and overwhelming. I had to keep pushing back all the fabric, like pushing the hair back from your face. Overall a great, easy wear piece.

Great but....
They are dry clean only. I'm always super super careful if I'm going to care for any of my rented clothes. I could have washed and worn these another time but glad I read the tag. Wore them to work one day (casual Friday, were a hit!) and then as a coverup to the beach.

Love!
Someone said they didn’t like the fabric. I loved it! Wrinkled fairly easily but I loved this top. It is washable, I didn’t wash it but nice to know. It is the kind of top you might wear multiple times in one rent. Very versatile. I wore it untucked, I wore it tucked in, can be dressed up or dressed down. It does run big. I got this top with tags still attached, first to wear! Otherwise I would have thought it was stretched out from previous renters. I’m on a weight journey, nothing is too big on me right now. But this was. While the top runs large, the sides are short. Your skin will show, nearly unavoidable. The hanger ribbons even stick out the bottom of the sides. Overall, great rent. Will try a size smaller next time.

I could get past the low cut, but the arm holes are enormous. Something had to be worn underneath.

A safe rental. I was hoping for something more fun, this was very "mother of the bride." The "headliner" review that I saw showed a girl in a dress with a slit. This dress does not have a slit.

Runs big!
I usually love to see pants “run large” but these are ridiculous. I’m shocked to see reviews stating they’re too short; the reviews for these pants are all over the board. I couldn’t pull these up high enough to get them off the ground. I’m 5’7” and no heels I own were high enough. Other than the size, they are great pants! I still wore them but I was constantly fixing them.

Great top!
Classic Kate Spade. I think the top should be shimmied down the shoulders, but the shoulders kept creeping up all night. Maybe it was too big, I don’t know. Boxy fit, tucking in helped it look more fitted. Would rent again!

Wrap dress
Shame on me, I did not realize this is a wrap dress. Wrap dresses never work for me, 38DD just doesn’t fit in a wrap dress for me! But beautiful dress, great quality, classic Ralph Lauren.

Nothing special, but not bad.
Def need something under, the top shifted all day. Was constantly tugging and readjusting. Rented for Valentine's Day, I don't think you could even tell the design was hearts. The top is fine, just nothing overly special.

Easy to wear, just a tad short
Other designers take note! Don't know what makes this top so fantastic, but it is! Wish it was an inch longer, a bit too short...but I still wore it and loved it.

I did not realize the stitching would be blue (look closely at factory photo, you'll see it) but I like it. Also did not realize there would be a small ruffle detail on the belly. I am DD and there is room to spare. I really like it while standing in front of the mirror, but as the day goes on it moves and I'm constantly readjusting and tugging it down.

Luxurious fabric, made me feel great!
This is truly a quality top. I thought I wore silk before... the fabric is luxurious. The fit... it's a little weird. The famous snap closure that I continue to see on so many tops. For the price, they could have invested in a better snap. It did pop open a few times. The sleeves fit just right, maybe a bit snug. Plenty of room to spare in the stomach and bust (and I'm a 38DD...I don't say that often) but then around the waist, it gets snug. Very long, best to tuck it in. And make sure you don’t wear a teal bra...my bad!

Basic top
Nothing to love, nothing to hate. Pretty basic top. I feel like I could find this in any store at the mall. Just one small snap keeps the top closed, but it is a reliable snap. Should it pop open, it would be ok. It is a wee bit short, but I didn't mind that. It's a safe rental.

Classic, well made gown.
Make sure you have someone available to help with the zipper (I had to ask valet 😆) Great dress, easy to wear, you could even get away with a normal bra- just tuck one of the straps away.

Been there, done that, nothing special
Photo shows a dark stripe down the back. Not true. My size was a 14W - which I believe means women's cut, which I believe means it is slightly larger than a normal 14. The dress was a bit too spacious, but that's what the "W" means, right? Lots of mixed reviews on the size. Overall the dress was boring and nothing special for me.

Adjusting all day
Good fit, true to size. Wore spanx. However, I adjusted my chest all. Day. Long. My bra even made an appearance at times, peeked through the armpits too. Very professional dress, comfortable, but would not wear again. Too professional for a date, too low for work. Not sure where the designer thought this would be worn.

Sized right, but too short for work. I'm 5'7" - way sexier than I need to be at work! Nice dress, just not right for the reason I got it.
