Needs a belt
I loved the print but this fit like a tent on me. Maybe I should have sized down. Would probably have worked fine with a belt but I didn't have one so I didn't end up wearing it.

Nice dress
I wore it to the office but it definitely needed a camisole underneath. But fairly comfortable and flattering.

Great dress
My favorite of the latest shipment. Very flattering and fun. I wore it with black tights and burgundy heeled booties.

Alright
Great color and fabric. Fit seemed a little weird - super oversized at the top and a little shorter than I was expecting. I liked it better with a cardigan over it so you couldn't tell how oversized the top was. I got caught in the rain and it had water spots.

Stubborn zipper
This fit well and looked great, though it definitely needed a camisole for modesty for me. But I rented it to wear on a work trip and discovered that, try as I might, I could not zip it by myself. Something about the placement/angle/fabric - it wasn't too tight, and my husband had no issue zipping it for me, but I spent about 10 minutes trying and couldn't get it on my own so I didn't end up wearing it.

Too tight
Loved the colors/pattern and felt high quality, but was way too tight to wear out. I don't think this actually fits a size 16.

Alright
I liked this enough to wear it but didn't love it. I would have preferred it without the weird double tie situation - one at the waist and one at the neck. From the pictures I almost thought it looked pleated, and I'm not sure the vertical stripes were very flattering. It was a bit thinner than I had expected (though for me that's a good thing). I think the fact that it's so covered up (long sleeves, high neck, midi skirt) made it feel a tiny bit frumpy.

Beautiful, flattering dress
I really liked this dress and it made me feel great. The color was different than it looked on my computer screen - more turquoise than dark blue, but it was really gorgeous. It hit me just right to highlight my curves and skim over my problem spots. The neckline is sexy but still a little bit covered up.

Great color, great dress!
I loved this dress - I felt so cute in it. The pattern and color are very fun, and the cut is extremely flattering. And it has pockets, which always make me really happy. I think it'd work well for a lot of occasions - a daytime party with sandals, or a cocktail party with heels and flashy jewelry.

Cute on other people, not on me
I picked this dress out as a replacement for the original dress I had picked for my engagement photos, which had gotten damaged. It looks adorable in the photos and on most of other women in the gallery, but on me it was very unflattering. The combination of the striped and the stiff material made me look a lot bigger than I really am. It's a very cute dress, but I think it works better on slimmer women.

Gorgeous dress, too bad they didn't have my size
This is the dress I had originally rented, but the one in my size got damaged, so they had to send me another dress. They still sent my backup dress, though, which was a little heartbreaking as it was gorgeous. It's such a flattering cut and the material skims over any trouble areas. It didn't quite zip, though. I

Amazing statement necklace
I loved this necklace. I felt it really took my outfit to the next level. I don't usually wear bold jewelry but I loved the way this looked. The quality was very nice and I got lots of compliments.

Cute cuff
This cuff was cute but not a showstopper. It has a hinge on one side so that you can get it on. I have pretty small wrists, and it fit fine, but if you have a bigger wrist it probably won't work for you. I liked it but I will not go out of my way to rent it again.

Nice dress, but too much cleavage
I liked this dress a lot - the fabric is beautiful and it was flattering on my body. I didn't have to wear a bra with it, which is always nice. It was very low cut, however. I probably could have pinned it and made it work, but I had rented a second dress also and wore that one instead.
