Pure sexy!
Loved this! A unique color for me, easy to wear without a bra (just enough side boob), and felt super hot all night.

Regular rental and super classy basic!
I always pop this into my rotation a few times a year. Great color, super high quality. It does wrinkle easily but such is life with silk!

Beautiful and unique.
A very unique dress that I wore to a formal event in Milan. I do think on an athletic body type like mine, it was a little bit matronly so I don't know if I'd rent again but it was definitely beautiful.

Comfy, great fit!
Super flattering and comfortable dress! The rucheing across the stomach is a great disguise if you have a little pudge like me. Back zipper but super stretchy so will work for lots of different body types!

Beautiful and comfortable!
This is so beautiful! Runs a little big/true-to-size which is such a rarity for La Double J. I wore for a conference in Las Vegas, but would be great with tights and heels for holidays.

A little boxy, but great pattern!
Great pattern, a little boxy if you have a larger bust. Also, it's a thicker linen blend so not ideal for mega-hot days.

So comfortable and stylish!
This dress is a stretchy, comfy mesh but not so sheer that it's see-through. Loved dressing this one up or down! Fits true to size with some leeway depending on how tight you want it to be.

Super sexy formal affair!
Don't be afraid to show some cleavage in this dress! It's beautifully thick and shows every curve. Will go in my "regular rentals" for sure!

Cute and comfy.
I love this dress. It's not necessarily the sexiest item you'll ever rent, but it's cute and comfortable. The tank top section is a little structured, which makes it very smoothing! Alemais runs a little small, IME.

So good, I bought it!
Great dress! Super "heavy," drapey material that hides all flaws and lumps and bumps. Very easy to wear, I'm bigger-chested and still wore it just fine without a bra, although you can easily wear a pretty bra underneath if you don't mind the open back.

Unwearable.
These are SO small as to be unwearable. My bad for not reading the reviews! I would recommend sizing up x2 at the minimum.

Runs super small!
Tried my regular size, didn't fit. Sized up, still couldn't get it, so I decided to move on. If you're bigger chested/have a big rib cage, be prepared to size up at least once if not twice.

Great dress that's comfy and got loads of compliments. It was very tight across the bust for me, but plenty generous elsewhere.

Never thought I'd love a jumpsuit.
This was a great outfit for a warm day of wine tasting in Sonoma. It's a silky material so I was never hot. Also way easier to get in and out of than most jumpsuits thanks to the half button placket. Very comfortable!

Size down.
I'm a huge fan of the nearly identical army green Philip Lim joggers and was hoping these would be similar. They are somewhat, but I found them to run even bigger than those, and also lack the tapering toward the bottom of the leg. On the positive side, these are a beautiful soft material and don't seem to wrinkle at all, even after two transcontinental flights!

Too tight!
Too tight in the bust and arms. It had cute details and I'm bummed it didn't work, but beware if you're even remotely busty or have toned arms.
Cupcake Button Up Top

More than just your average navy dress!
This is a stunner. I was so comfortable at work all day in this dress. It's an appropriate length, a thick (yet comfortable) material that hides lumps and bumps, and has just enough detailing (the neckline and gold buttons) to add visual interest. Since it's long-sleeved, it's great for cold offices or a summer-fall transition piece. I'm so sad I didn't take a photo, as I felt so confident in this dress! Will rent again.

Work, night out, It does it all!
Great sexy blouse that's work appropriate but can go out on the town. It's a very gauzy fabric but is not seethrough. Super sexy with the bow and a small teardrop cutout on the back.

Super soft!
This is a super soft and very warm sweater. Nice colors, it was great for traveling. You don't need anything underneath it, as it's not itchy at all.

Pack your doube-sided tape!
Very low cut, but beautiful pattern, light weight, super comfy! I taped up the top a bit since I was wearing it to a few work functions, but for date night I'd consider wearing a black lacy bra. Either way, a great dress that is perfect for this late summer/early fall period!
Odette Dress

Easy to wear, breezy top!
Rented this for my company's summer picnic. It's light and easy to wear, but doesn't wrinkle like a lot of silk. Recommended!

Incredibly sexy!
This is an elegantly feminine dress that is way better than the pictures suggest. It's a beautiful dark green and just feels fantastic. I got compliments from men and women alike and will absolutely rent this again. Two things: it is low-cut, and it also has this weird peekaboo hole on the side above where the zipper stops. It's not visible standing because the drape of the blouse covers it, but something to keep in mind if you work in a more conservative office!
Parabola Dress

Comfy, easy pants!
These are a nice pair of tailored trousers that are comfortable yet classy enough for the office. The elastic waistband is a huge perk. They do stretch out a bit throughout the day, so don't be afraid to order a size down if you want a tailored fit. I ordered my regular size and they were definitely looser by the end of the day, but not baggy.

RENT THIS DRESS!
If I could afford it, this dress would still be hanging in my closet. Alas... Anyway, it is stunning. The color, the drape, the fabric. It's also tremendously comfortable. I got so many compliments at the party I attended — the photographer wouldn't stop taking photos of me!

Very easy dress — but short women, beware!
This dress is beautiful and I loved wearing it both to work and on vacation. Note that it's very long. I'm 5'7" and wore it with flat mules and it would partially touch the floor, so shorter women will need to wear heels. Regardless, it's beautiful (100% silk!) and oh-so-comfortable for warm weather.

Resortwear at its finest!
This is a stunning dress. I was just so-so about renting it, but once it arrived, I was amazed. It's the perfect weight, not see-through, easy to wear, and the ideal, breezy relaxed fit. I wore it to dinner at a five-star resort in Mexico and got loads of compliments.

Felt quirky and cool.
I wore this on a work trip to Monaco and felt cool and comfortable the whole time. It's just casual enough, but still well-made and looks "expensive" so it doesn't seem like you're wearing a muu-muu. Note that the body detailing is see-through.

A classy dress.
This is a beautiful and very forgiving dress. It's made from a thick but soft material that doesn't highlight every lump and bump. Beware that if you are large-chested, the keyhole at the front will create a lot of cleavage! My office is pretty relaxed, but it might make women more conservative workplaces a little uncomfortable.

Second Draper James dress that I've struck out with. The fits are just too unpredictable. If you have a larger just or are broad shoulders, this isn't likely to be a brand that will work for you unfortunately. It is a cute dress though!

You won't be able to pee all day, but it's worth it!
Super hard to get on and off given that it's a jumpsuit, but it's very cute and flattering. The colors really pop against the black and I got loads of compliments.

Just Ok.
This was just OK. There's basically no stretch to the fabric even though it's very pretty. The cut wasn't super tailored. If you have long legs and a shorter torso, you'll find it to be a bit long. Got a few compliments, but I don't think I'd repeat it.

Nice!
These shorts fit true to size and were great for a day spent exploring Monaco! They came to me with tags on which is always a fun perk. The fabric is thick and very forgiving of lumps and bumps but not at all heavy. Great for warm weather and can also be dressed up a bit too.

Classic Equipment.
This came to me with tags on which is always a perk! Beautiful Equipment blouse that's a little heavier-weight silk than most. Covered button placket with the top button exposed, so it looks great buttoned to the top. I wore it with silky navy slacks.

Great summer work dress.
Beautiful pattern, super silky and comfortable. Found it ran a bit big and I'll size down if I rent it again, but it didn't stop me from wearing it and loving it!

I love this bag so much. Definitely one of my favorite rentals. Has a little clip to keep the top closed and a built-in wallet. I've traveled with it and have just carried it around everyday. It's lightweight, versatile, and goes with everything!

I wanted to love it...
The pattern and material is great, but it's quite possibly one of the weirdest fitting dresses I've rented. It's SO low-cut. I taped it for work and still felt uncomfortable in my very casual office. As others have said, it is narrow through the hips as well. Wouldn't rent again.

The reviewer who called this dress kindergarten teacher chic is right, but I love it. It's classic boxy Marni which I personally find very comfortable and flattering. A great lightweight cotton, cute for summer.
