Unbearably Itchy - Couldn't even try on
While beautiful, I couldn't even tolerate keeping this on long enough to zip it. The fabric is so incredibly itchy that I couldn't get it off fast enough. That's a non starter for me, but I am sensitive to fabric textures so don't let this stop you as an option. I would recommend a backup style if you're unsure of your level of tolerance to itchy fabric

Summery and See Through! Size Down, Even if Big Breasted!
This dress is a thin poplin type material, and wrinkles very easily. Has pockets and a nice structure to the waist and skirt, but the chest smocking isn't great. It runs big in the chest (I am large chested with a very large rib case so that's saying something!) and doesn't hold its shape well up top. Lots of rolling, folding and shifting - I ended up styling with a cropped chunky sweater over top so I could still get a wear out of this.

Cute and Casual with Pockets!
This was a good throw it on and go sun dress! If you're over a DD or G bra cup, this may be too tight for you around the chest, although there is some give thanks to the smocking on the back. Fabric is soft and lightweight, but holds very little structure so I'd say it's less "put together" than the stock photo might indicate

Obsessed!
I was worried this material may not be forgiving of my chest and stomach, but it had enough give and support to fit like a glove while still maintaining its structure! Tons of compliments on this, and was incredibly happy with it for a wedding full of dancing. I wore basic bike shorts and nippies/cakes style stick on bra, and am wearing flat shoes that add no height (5'5" with a long torso) and had a perfect grazing the floor length without tripping. Highly recommend this dress!!! Worth noting, this dress is NOT itchy at all - I have incredibly sensitive skin and sensory issues with clothing texture, and this was a safe option unlike similar styles from other brands that were unbearable to even try on.

Comfy, breathable and cute!
I wore this with jeans in London in the cold rain, and in Hawaii over a bathing suit. It's the perfect versatile top! The buttons are slightly heavier metal than expected, but not an issue for wear

Cute structured crop top! Bicep gals beware!
This top fit snugly without having pinching, but was too short in the torso to wear for my intended use with high rise slacks at a work event. Even the highest waisted pants still showed just enough exposed midriff to make this a no go. I am full chested with a longer torso, so the opposite build may be able to make this work for more occasions. Super cute and flattering cut otherwise. Could be too tight around the ends of the sleeves for any slightly larger arms, I would have been uncomfortable wearing for a full day

Super cute, soft knit pop of color
I wore this with a brushed cashmere oversized cardigan and got tons of compliments on the color! The pattern of the ribbed knit design definitely accentuated my bust, without being inappropriate, but definitely makes a high neck top look less modest! I absolutely loved it and would rent again!

Runs small, but makes for a non-athletic material compression top!
This top is a tight, dense, rigid knit in a rib pattern, and fit very snugly. I was worried I wouldn't be able to wear it, but in the mirror made for a great compression/shapewear top without looking "too small" for me. I'd potentially size up next time to make more appropriate as a top for a work event, but great for date night or cocktails! Not soft but not itchy material. Definitely runs small compared to what I'd expect

Weird waistline, belt needed
I loved this dress! My only issue was that although it fit everyone, the waistline was placed a bit too high relative to my bust line, and had a very loose fit. I felt very house on the prairie in a frumpy way until I added a thick belt to accentuate my waistline! I loved the look but generally hate wearing belts with dresses, I wish the waistline were more proportional in the cut of the dress but made it work! Got tons of compliments on the style and embroidery

Easy to dress up or down! Pattern is *technically* floral but not as easy to see pattern when on
Wore this to a work "after party" event with adidas platforms and slouched socks to make it a bit more casual to align with colleagues attire. This dress is double layer mesh, and *could* be see through with colorful under garments. However, I checked this in all sorts of lighting and positions with both nude and black bike shorts and bras and had no issues with it being see through or sheer! Ran slightly big, but ruching at seams made it fine to wear. I'd size down next time for a better fit.

Doesn't hold shape well, starts to look sloppy after a few hours of wear
I loved this top! Super soft with a slightly boxy cut that looked great with a slight slouch above a high waisted pant. I run hot so I was excited that it was so lightweight and breathable, but the downside was this meant it lost its shape pretty quickly over the course of the day and began to look saggy, especially around my chest from stretching over the course of the day. Definitely encourage nude bra or bralette as the sheer knit could show a shadow with a brighter or darker color. Wore this a few times and loved it as a layered option with a chunky knit sweater in London winter weather

Almost Perfect! Go Birds! (Coloring not for me)
This jacket is super comfy and warm! I loved it to throw on this fall and winter. Lining is very soft, and for the type of jacket I was impressed with the quality and how warm it kept me! Slightly oversized fit allowed room for a sweatshirt without looking like the Michelin man. My only issue with this is the coloring and back logo - otherwise I would have purchased! The sleeves are a very creamy "white" almost border neutral beige, the body is not true midnight green so it clashes with my jersey, and the back logo is the modern font, which is arguably my least favorite of all of the options available for the Eagles!

Perfect to "Make" the Outfit!
Boxy and loose structure, this blazer got me tons of compliments as a way to dress up a basic pant/shirt. Definitely a fall/winter style, but not overly heavy or too warm. I wore this multiple times and will definitely rent again!

Sheer Mesh, Bizarre Neckline
I really wanted to love this but between how sheer (this is unlined, it is 2 layers of stretchy mesh of the same color and opacity - it is see through) and how wide cut the neckline was I had a hard time wearing. Neckline is both extremely deep and wide, making it near impossible to wear a bra or liner garment that didn't get fully exposed in the chest area

HEAVY and Oversized but Stunning! High quality garment
Obsessed with this dress! It's perfectly oversized, and lays nicely due to the weight of the dress. This dress is VERY heavy, but the material is silky and breathable, and incredibly flattering even for a looser structure silhouette

Loose Waist, Tight Hip
As someone with a flatter rear, I was shocked that these ran small around my hips, but were loose around my natural waist. Wash and material was great, but cut was uncomfortable to wear
