THE CUTEST!
Totally obsessed with this little sweater/jacket. It is very cropped, and I’m 5’2” with a super short torso, so may be more like a bolero on anyone taller. Loved it both buttoned all the way up, and with just the top snaps clasped. Wish the 34 had been just a teeny bit roomier in the chest/shoulders, but the arms & length were too perfect to swap for a larger size. Will be keeping this for a few cycles. Would purchase if it wasn’t so $$!

Great concept, not for short torsos
Was so bummed this didn't work for me, as I loved the style, color, & fabric, and was planning to purchase. Unless you have a very long torso, though, I can't imagine it being very flattering. Even when I pulled it down to wear lower over my hips, whenever I moved there was a big roll of fabric right at my waist. Same thing happened button or unbuttoned. Knew I would be constantly messing with it, so sadly returned with the tags still on. If you're long waisted though, give it a shot, it's darling!

Fantastic for petites!
Loved the fit of these. They were the perfect full length jeans for me at 5,2. Pockets were super flattering. Waist in my usual size was a tiny bit snug, and there's zero stretch.

Super cute, not great fabric
Pattern & cut of this were fantastic. Was easy to wear with sandals & sneaks. Would have purchased if the fabric had been better. It is a kinda stiff/scrunchy polyester, and between the dress & lining it was constantly static-y & bunching.

Super fun & comfy
Really cute & easy to wear romper. Not particularly flattering, and would probably be better on someone smaller chested, but loved it for a beach trip. The shorts kept it from blowing up like a skirt, but got the cute-y babydoll dress vibe. Near impossible to get all the wrinkles out, though.

Meh
Not a good fit on me. Not as wide leg as they appear in pics, and somehow were too short - and I only have a 24" inseam! Sent back immediately.

Great color & quality - VERY cropped
I could see this being too cropped and boxy on anyone long waisted, but for petite/short waisted busty gals, it's a delight. Such a fun pop with the pink + corduroy + gold buttons. Tried it with the matching skirt, but it felt a little too Clueless. Separately was great, though.

Obsessed - but SHORT
I'm 5'2", so usually when reviewers say something's too short, it's the perfect length for me. This skirt pushed the boundary of too short even for me. I can't imagine anyone taller could wear it without risking flashing everything. It's also much lower rise than shown in the photos. Fits nothing like the model photo - sits low on the hips. That being said it is SO cute worn with a long sleeve top and tall boots to balance out all the skin from such a micro mini. Tried it with the matching jacket, but it felt a little like I was wearing a Clueless costume.

Fit great, couldn't find right occasion to wear
Arrived NWT, really nice fit. The skirt felt a little long/too much fabric for 5'2" height. Rented in early fall, but it's definitely more of a winter dress. Was still too warm, so didn't wear, but may rent again when it's colder. Great with a belt.

So comfy and flattering!
More versatile than I expected - a little long for 5'2", but worked well with the right shoes. Paired with sandals & chunky loafers for work, and heeled boots for an outdoor fall wedding. Super flattering, feels like PJs

Gorgeous fit! So flattering!
I had to size up from my usual XS…everything fit perfectly except the shoulders were super restrictive. Even a size up the shoulders are pretty tight, but it it such a unique & flattering dress, it’s worth it! Great with heels & tights, also good with a casual boot

Best thing I’ve rented in years
Such a surprise hit! Rented for a specific wedding g outfit and assumed I’d return afterwards, but I have been wearing this gem almost daily! The cropped length is perfection on my short torso, and it looks equally good open over tops/dresses, or worn buttoned all the way up and paired with skirts/jeans. Might have to purchase.

Great sweater/coat
Thought I would wear my his more than I did. Loved the color & textures, but it was somehow just not the right weight or cut for a lot of things I tried to pair it with.

Great look - not as comfy as you'd think
Fit was fantastic, though I expected it to be a bit more oversized. Pattern is AMAZING and received compliments every time I wore it. Would have considered buying if it had been more comfortable. Sadly the inside was scratchy and stiff

Fabulous style; but very worn
Second time renting, and absolutely love the style. It is definitely oversized; I'm generally a size 2 or 4, rented the 2 last time and wore it mainly over my shoulders as a cape, this time sized down to a 0 and liked the fit much better, though it would be too snug with thick layers underneath. Sadly though, the buttons this time around are VERY scratched, the fabric is pilling, and while the jacket photographs beautifully, up close you can tell it is very worn out and time to be retired.

AMAZING statement earrings!
These earrings were absolutely perfect-so light and comfortable, easy enough to wear all night dancing like crazy at a Madonna concert. Will definitely rent again.

Ill fitting for anyone with hips
Wanted to love this as Alexis dresses are some of my faves. The color and fabric are great, but the stitching at the waist is just oddly placed and made me look wider than I am. I could see it working on someone with a long torso and thin build, but for someone with an hourglass shape and somewhat short waist, it made me look frumpy and my waist disappeared.

Fabulously fun earrings!
These earrings were great for a wedding, and a work happy hour. One of the rubber cushions on the clips was missing making it a bit less comfortable, but overall they were light and easy to dance in and received SO many compliments!

INCREDIBLE!
This may be the most incredible dress ive ever worn! Rented it for a charity 'white party' and recieved endless compliments! I was glad i sized down after reading reviews, as the 4 was perfect. Sadly it had a small rip in the mesh panel, so i had to ho with the size 2. It was definitely a tighter squeeze than i'd have notmally worn, but still fit great. Best of all, i didnt have to wear a bra and just went eith breast petals. Cant recommend this highly enough!

AMAZING dress!!!!
Rented this for a charity masquerade gala, and list travk of how many compliments I recieved. It definitely runs small, but the right size fits incredibly well! The fabric doesnt have any give, so holds you in nicely without a bra, but means that the underskirt is VERY tight. The length was absolutely perfect; with the train just touching the ground in 4" heels. Cannot wait to rent this one again!!!

Runs VERY small.
Definitely size up; this sweater runs very snall and there isn't much give to the fabric. In the right size it woukd be great though. I would heve worn the small anyway, but it had a couple obvious pulls in the fabric.

Incredible jacket-found excuses to wear again and again!
The fir was true to size; definitely boxy and probably could have worn an extra small as well. I rented to wear to a holiday party, and loved so much i've worn it at least three other times. Will be sad to send this one back!
