It’s Verrrryyyy Boxy
I really like the idea of this top - it’s well made, preppy, and has a bit of a twist with the two-tone front and back. But it’s quite large, even the XS! I did wear it with a faux French tuck and it was okay. But you have to really own the oversize look. I rented this to fill a spot. It was okay for a one-time wear. But it’s certainly not a wow piece.

A chic and easy outfit!
(Not a great photo, but absolutely a great jumpsuit). I was worried this might be a little too ‘western’y” for me but it turned out to be an easy/chic throw on. I got tons of compliments! I see a few other reviews mentioning the length - at 5’8” - the length was actually perfect for me. I also think the legs could be rolled for a cool alternative. The torso was comfortable and I found it to be TTS. I added a twilly, a belt, and some boots for a great outfit.

A Winner (as long as it’s belted)
This is actually a unique piece. The fabric feel high quality and it comes with a removable slip that keeps it classy. I thought it was shapeless on its own, but a belt was an easy add to make it perfect. I felt like the length was fine, but it could be short on taller girls. I wore to an all-day seminar and felt polished. This would be perfect for brunch, errands, or white party.

Cute and Classy
I wore this out to dinner and received compliments. Very easy and comfortable, but definitely requires a steam or iron of it comes out of the suitcase. This would work for brunch, a baby shower, and I plan to wear it to work one day as well. Recommend - it’s cute!

Size down!
I know it’s meant to be oversized but I really wish there was an XS. The material is on the less-than-luxe side. The blazer could be worn on its own, I just didn’t feel super comfortable in how oversized it was so I sent it back instead.

Just Okay
These shorts were fine (totally safe to size down). I wore them with the matching blazer, which elevated them for sure. Great length and cute enough.

Rent as a Set!
This is adorable as a set. SO many compliments. The top is roomie and I think it would be safe to size down. The shorts, I DID size down (due to availability) and they were a bit snug (so rent TTS). I wore this once for an office day and one for a professional seminar. When I rented, I thought I might be able to wear it separately (white pants with the top and white bodysuit with the shorts), but it really wasn’t as cute as separates. Rent as a set!

Heavy, but good
I rented the because of the reviews and it was exactly as advertised - heavy but wonderful! Rent for a beach holiday (or anywhere tropical) and make room for it in your suitcase ( roll it!). A strapless bra is perfect and it twirls like none other. TTS!

Meh - size up
I wanted to love this, but it’s just okay. The ties in the back are flimsy and it’s on the short side. I rented it for vacation, but ended up wearing it just for errands around town, since it wasn’t that amazing. For sure size up, and don’t expect it to be special.

This is a Sleeper
To me, this was a meh dress. It’s not luxe; it’s a pretty standard and simple work dress. To my SHOCK (and delight), I hands down received the most compliments on this rental then nearly any other. I wore it to a work event and it was a hit! It’s flattering and comfortable (but definitely shows all the things). I would probably add shapewear If I wore it again. I could see styling this with a denim jacket and sneakers for a more casual look. Worth the rent!

RENT THIS
I was a “meh” on this when I saw it on the site. But I love VB and trusted in that. This is literally one of my favorite blazers and I got GOBS of compliments. I wore it with a white skirt, light jeans, white pants, it goes with so much! The only reason I returned it is that it needed a dryclean. The style is meant to be oversized, so order your usual size to have the perfect oversized look. Rent this, it’s perfect!

Great as a set!
I’m a true 2, but it wasn’t available so I went with the 4 so it was a little large. But worth it. (So order TTS) It’s warm weather colors but thick material. It was perfect in the over-air conditioned conference hall. I took the blazer off several times and the skirt is also great on its own. It’s a must-rent! Tons of compliments

Blazer is cute as a set and also Awesome on its own
I wore this as the set and also threw it on with light jeans and a white t-shirt. It’s spring-like colors, but “tweed’ish” so pretty warm. I wore it to a conference in 90+ degree Austin and it was perfect in the AC. The 34 was perfect, but I am usually a true 2, so size down!

Beautiful (on the small side)
This ran a little small and cropped. Next time, I would for sure size up. The sleeves are really cool, but delicate (I was scared they might rip). It’s also a little itchy. But I received lots of compliments and could be styled so many ways (I was in the mountains and it was cold, so I traded the skirt I wanted to wear it with to jeans) If your skin is sensitive, the itch might be a non-starter.

Super cute & Preppy
Wore this on the weekend in mid-February. I thought this would be boring and plain, but it ended up being a great casual staple with a collegiate feel. This could be worn to brunch, casual work environment, errands. I enjoyed wearing this several times

Very Thin
This coat is TTS and a standout, for sure. I think it would be better in a warmer-winter climate around the holidays. I wore it in late February and it wasn’t warm enough. The material is very thin and does NOT feel luxe (perhaps overworn?). Pros: can be dressed up or down, festive, a standout Cons: very thin, not very warm, feels inexpensive

Perfect après sweater!
The sweater isn’t quite as long as shown on the model and only mildly-oversized. But it’s the perfect (warm and incredibly well made) sweater to throw on for a casual pulled together mountain look. I probably won’t wear this in the city (although I could see it working for a weekend brunch situation), but it’s perfect after skiing.

BEAUTIFUL (but VERY short)
The only reason this didn't get five stars is because it was so short, it was almost unwearable. I could not bend, go upstairs in front of anyone, or be in any sort of breeze. The dress is beautiful, but if you're over 5'5"...it's too short. Size up! I wore this (very mindfully) to a dinner party and received tons of compliments!

PRINCESS JASMINE MOMENT
I had higher hopes for this. It's a beautiful jumpsuit and the challenge may have been that it's not really my style, more than a problem with the jumpsuit. I ended up wearing this at home for date night, mainly because I didn't want to send it back without wearing it. It was plenty long (could have worn short heels) and if anything, it ran a bit big (but you can use the tie to cinch). If this is your style, rent it! It's really well made and a gorgeous color and very comfortable.

If you have hips - skip this one
I know every other review says this but I somehow thought I could be the exception. No chance. If you have any sort of hips, this is not your dress. The dress runs true to size everywhere EXCEPT in the hips and the fabric has no stretch. If you are straight-hipped, this dress is adorable. I would have worn it to work with a blazer or to brunch or errands with flats. Too bad, was looking forward to wearing it.
