Unique dress, not a flattering fit for my body
I loved the idea of this dress, and I was even really excited to see it's actually a combination two fabric textures (top vs bottom). Unfortunately, the dress just didn't fit me very flattering-ly. The arm holes dipped too low, so you could see my bra on the sides. Since the style of the dress is so billowy, it felt like there was just too much dress for me. I felt like I needed to size down one more size. I have a pear-shaped body, and I don't think this style was quite right for me.

Great quality, flattering for small waists
I loved wearing this top. The angles make it contemporary and interesting, and the slit keeps in edgy but not inappropriate. It did go up quite high, so I was conscious of keeping my pants from slipping down so I didn't show any skin. High waisted pants would be perfect underneath. I would absolutely rent this top again.

Would be best for someone with slim arms and smaller hips, color/fabric not very forgiving
I was sad this dress didn't work. It just wasn't flattering for my body. Maybe one size up would have been better, but I ended up not wearing the dress at all. My tummy bumps showed through the fabric, which wasn't super forgiving. If you have nice toned arms/shoulders and slightly smaller hips, this would probably be a great dress for you.

Lots of compliments, great color, flattering for pear shaped bodies
I'm smaller in the chest and the top half of my body, so I probably could have worn a Small. I was very conscious of the open sides to make sure my strapless bra wasn't showing. A smaller size may have fit a little tighter and fixed that issue. The Medium still worked well enough to wear to my happy hour I was going to. This is a great top for happy hours and going out, but it felt just a little too open on top for normal work hours. I received a TON of compliments on it. I would totally rent it again. I liked that the drapey folds in front helped cover my thighs, which I get self conscious of. Absolutely recommend.
Wavy Glacier Top

Great color, tailored look, too tight on my hips
I rented this for a work breakfast. I love the angled neckline. It's a really pretty tailored look. The color is beautiful too. I'm more pear-shaped, and even though I sized up to an 8, it still wasn't quite right for my lower half. The top for well, but I would have felt more comfortable in a 10.

Works with so many outfits, got tons of compliments
This necklace looks great with some many things, and I got so many compliments on it every time I wore it. I almost didn't want to send it back. Love the neutral stones in it. They're actually clear on the edges, which I didn't realize, so whatever you're wearing underneath peeks through. I didn't mind that though.

Great color and fabric, a little too tight in the hips.
Cute sleeves, loved the color and the quality of the fabric, but the dress was cut too straight for my hips. It felt stretched and would have made me feel self-conscious, and unfortunately it was too short to wear with Spanx. Probably could have worn an 8.
Berry Sunday Tulip Shift

Great bright color, cute cut-outs, just a little stretch made it comfy to wear
Definitely more of a bright pink like everyone says. I was going to a spring country wedding, so I didn't mind. I have thicker arms, so I was happy that the sleeves weren't too tight. The bottom of the dress also had enough flair to it that it worked for my larger hips. I would have liked a tiny bit more room, but I guess it just forced me to have better posture. I liked that it had pockets too. FYI: You MUST have a nude strapless bra to wear with it.

Cute pattern and length, flirty and flouncy!
I ordered this to wear high around my natural waist, so that the length would hit just below my knees. Would have been great, but it was just a tiny bit small on my waist, so it gave me a little mini muffin top and wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked. Great quality, cute button detail. Could wear it for work too.

Finally a maxi that isn't too long to wear with sandals!
Fit well. Would be flattering for a pear or hourglass figure. Maxis can sometimes be hard for girls with wide hips, but the fitted waist was really flattering. I love the detail of the criss-crossed back, but unfortunately there was too much fabric. It was gapping in the front of my chest and the back straps wouldn't sit quite right. Sad that I couldn't bring this on my trip.
Grid Cross Maxi

Loved the color combination, really cute & comfortable!
I rented a 6 and an 8, and I wore the size 6. I'm smaller up top, and the 6 was still a bit loose around the chest and waist. I probably could have worn a 4, but didn't rent that size. The 6 wasn't so big that it looked bad though, so I went with it anyway. This dress is a great length, and it's super comfortable. I got several compliments on it. Perfect with heels, wedges, and even cowboy boots at a Texas country wedding.
