Not for busty gals
But I wore a tshirt over it with a cute tied side and it was an adorable skirt.

Took this off midday
The sleeves are so huge it makes my arms unusable and the deep v-neck looked like a wardrobe malfunction. I couldn’t type, do dishes, open a door…it basically made me an amputee. Don’t rent it unless you’re going to be lounging on a fainting chaise all day.

Rough fabric
I knew it was cropped so that didn't bother me but I didn't realize how non-stretch the fabric would be. Not a soft sweater material.

Such an easy staple
Cute with sneakers or sandals and perfect for days when you don't feel like wearing anything firm fitting. I ordered a large and could have sized down, usually between a 10 and 12.

I loved the color but it was quite square and didn’t give me any shape. Maybe I needed to size down?

Not flattering for curvy bodies
The cut accentuates any low belly pudge, which sucks because the style screams cool girl

Perfect classy crop
This was a 10/10 for Miami paired with white jeans. It’s a fun pattern, the kind of piece that’s ideal to rent because it’s great for some pics but if it was in your closet you may hesitate to wear in repeat given the bold pattern. Just rent it!!

This is…a bra
Didn’t end up wearing it because it was waaay too short for me. I’m busty and it was giving bra instead of top. It’s a no for me but other ladies looked cute in the reviews so YMMV

Snatched waist, boobalicious
Perfect choice for a nice dinner in a tropical place! Very forgiving in the belly but flattering because it is tight in the ribcage area. It’s verrry low cut but I wore no bra and felt hot. Be prepared to tuck the girls or use tape, a bra won’t work because of the neckline. Will rent again!

A bit too matronly for me
this was a nice cropped blouse, and it’s high qualify but I felt elderly in it. Not for going out! Probably fine for the office but you’ll need to inject youthfulness or you’ll end up looking like a politician.

Quite long, great color
Wore this to a conference in Miami and it was super cute, if not a bit too long for me even with heels. It ran slightly large so do not size up

Busy gals- buy tape!
This dress was super cute but I fought the boobs all night when I forgot to buy hem tape. Try it on and find a solution for the bust or the straps/chest area will be a slippery surprise

I couldn’t get these buttons closed which was really disappointing. If you have a pretty straight build this is probably sooo cute

This is a bathrobe with fur in the back
When I put this on, my husband started laughing and said "it looks like a VERY expensive bathrobe" and I knew immediately I wouldn't wear it lol. There is fur only on the backside, which is odd. It also doesn't close so it's not ideal for truly cold NYC days. It's very cozy and long. Not my style, but I can see how someone might style this bathrobe well for a casual day haha

Size down - it's stretches a LOT
I liked these pants. They're a perfect material for the NY summer heat. The waist and hips ran pretty large (I'm not a small hipped chick, and it was big on me the first time I tried it on) and as the day went on it stretched more and more until I was wearing baggy pants. Definitely size down and if you're between sizes, maybe go down 2.

Very horse-y and I notice until it was too late
There was something very childlike about this dress and I felt a little odd wearing it to work. If you love horses and that's part of who you are then this dress is perfect, but in NYC it felt out of place for me.

Perfect spring dress!
The fit of this dress was supreme. It may be a bit short if you're over 5'7" but there's a slight angle to the bottom hem and it really makes the dress look unique. I felt pretty all day in this!

Still get compliments on this top!
Ugh, I dream about this piece. I rented it for a photoshoot with my hubby and it's everything I wanted it to be. The shoulders are a statement, and the glitter in the top gives it an elevated style. 1000% would recommend. Wish I bought it!

Wasn't as pretty in person as in photos
I was pretty disappointed in this rental. It ran REALLY large and the material on the bottom of the dress seemed cheap compared to the nice material at the bust. Wouldn't recommend.

If you're b/w sizes, size down!
I was debating between the L and XL and should have gone with the L. It still fit, but not as well as it would have if it'd been slightly tighter in the waist. The length was perfect on me! The material is thick so it's perfect for transitioning from a chilly spring morning into a warm afternoon.

These pants made me feel super fancy. They're versatile so you can pair thing with almost anything. The fabric is thick and not stretchy but they're true to size. I loved the wide leg and it was wide without adding size to my lower half. Highly recommend!

Sexy Circus Pants
I felt like a queen in these. They do get a little wrinkled at the crease between your legs and belly if you're sitting a lot, but it doesn't look "weird" at all when that happens. They're pretty long so plan to wear them with heels unless your over 5'9". Loved them!

Just rent it already!
This was an EPIC skirt. I wore it to the WED Beauty Summit in NYC and felt like a million bucks. I probably would have preferred a size large instead of an XL, but since L wasn't available I went for it and I'm glad I did! It's super flattering and hits all the right places. Easy to dress up, and goes with sooo many things! The combo of green, blue, orange, grey, and black make this easy to pair with just about anything!
