Too boxy for me
The collar on this coat is gorgeous. I was hoping for a fitted coat but it fit rather boxy on my frame. Too bad - it's pretty!

Cute 90s style dress
Really love this one! Color scheme is great and the dress is super comfortable and versatile. I've work with Uggs, ankle boots, knee high boots, and heels. Highly recommend for an easy and chic go-to dress.

Going to size up
I love the design and print of these pants. While they technically fit (I could zip them up thanks to a little stretch in the waistband), they look almost obscenely tight and I was hoping to wear them to work. So, going to try the size 0 and see how that goes..

Cool pants
These fit really well! They are very comfortable leggings that look more like fitted pants. The tuxedo stripe is everything.

Colorful and casual
I rented this for everyday - hopefully including work - but in reality the neckline was too plunging for work. I found the top loose for my smallish bust, which made wearing a bra too tricky. I worried that the whole dress might open while I walked around...but that didn't happen! I'd rent again for a beach vacation!

Really comfy!
This is a peasant dress and fits as such. The color palate and pattern is unusual, which is a plus for me. I loved that the straps are adjustable (why don't more dresses have these?!); this allowed the top to fit me. There was lots of extra fabric in the back but I wore it to a cafe and felt super comfy. I couldn't pull this off for a work look but would definitely rent again for the beach.

Not form fitting
This is not meant to be a form fitting dress so keep that in mind. The dress ran (very) large on me -- fits like a sack -- and turned out to not be my style. The navy + off-white detail (with a gold hue) was hard for me to accessorize.

Gorgeous fabric
The print of this dress reminds me of a fruit salad (and I mean that as the utmost praise...kiwi green is natural and lovely!) - so pretty. The length concerned me but ended up fine for my 5'4" frame. I wore with chunky fuchsia sandals for an afternoon party but could easily glam this up for evening; would be divine for a summer wedding. The fit was large all around for upper body but I used a small safety pin in the back (gathered at zipper) and all was good. Will absolutely rent again next summer!

Pretty and fun!
This dress fit me perfectly and was super comfortable. It has stretch to it and the pattern is truly beautiful - I rented this in summer and wore without tights be look forward to renting again in late fall to wear with knee-high black boots. Short in the back but in a good way - I wore to a business casual work conference and to a birthday dinner. Love!

Festive and fun!
Great print and versatile dress. I wore this a few times, from work to a picnic in the park. The straps fell off my shoulders from time to time but that's a common problem for me. As others have noted, the zippier sucks! I had to zip it past the waist and then put it in over my head...

Fits large in the chest area for my frame
Colorful summer print and nice quality dress with lining. The fit was large in the busy area and also a bit longer than I was looking for (hit right at the knee). The cut of the top will be flattering to shoulders on any frame.

Awkward fit for my frame
The attached sash hit too high on me --right at the bottom of my ribcage -- and was not flattering. I've had this problem with other dresses but usually can adjust so that the sash ties in the back, but that is not an option with this dress (can only tie in the front). The material is nice but maybe a little heavy for the summer, which is what I rented the dress for.

Cute but too wide.
As others said, these are just too wide and kept slipping off every time I looked down. So cute, though.

Unflattering
Hit at an unflattering point and made me look frumpy. The skirt bustles out a bit. Print is great -- very vintage-50s inspired!

Swingy fuschia
Fun swingy dress! Gots tons of compliments at work for this one. The material is surprisingly heavy which makes this dress a little challenging for a hot day (which is when I wore it). Looks pretty with open-toed cork wedges. This is an extremely well-crafted dress.

Grommets galore!
Heavy and well-constructed dress. I didn't love it when I first saw it, as I thought the grommets were more silvery; they're more of a bronze/gold and I usually avoid those tones due to having mostly silvery jewelry and bags (chains and detail on the bags). That said, I wore it to work and got TONS of compliments! It should be clear but keep in mind that there is no lining so you definitely need to wear a slip and/or cami underneath for more professional settings. Not necessarily a work dress for everyone but an awesome piece for going out.

Great floral print!
The fabric is so pretty - the fuchsia and turquoise palette give it an almost abstract art vibe. This fit perfectly for me. It is quite short so I wore with black tights but can see wearing it with sandals in the summer. I wore with black patent heels and chunky ankle boots and both killed :) Definitely true to size - the XS fit to a T.

Classic
Great sweater dress for work or after work socializing. The dress could seem somber but the silver detail around the collar and sleeves gives it a more casual feel, as does the ribbon tie. Super-comfy and flattering- no complaints!

Beautiful print!
I love this dress! It is a super-soft cotton with intricate lace sleeves. The dress is a little short so I wore it with tights to work. Can wear without tights for everything else. Will rent again!

Pretty colors
The dress looked essentially as in the photo, with dusty/bright pink and black stripes. The dress is an interesting design, having both horizontal and vertical stripes. However, I cannot pull it off. The top was too big in an asymmetric way; it seems one side may have drooped a bit due to the wide hanger. The length was a bit long for me (I'm 5'4") but the biggest miss was the fit around the waist/stomach -- very unforgiving even on a slim frame! I said "true to size," but really meant a mix: too large on top, and too tight around the waist.

Heavy fabric...good for fall
This is a pretty dress with a heavy Chanel-esque fabric that would look good with knee length black boots in the Fall. The dress was wide and boxy on my frame, and a belt unfortunately did not help. The dress is not intended to be a slim fit.

Hello Jackie O!
Love these. Super-comfy and stylish - I wore with a simple black sweater or added a sparkly necklace for holiday parties. Would rent again and again!

Pretty in plaid
Lovely dress! Be aware that this is a very slim fit but there is a little stretch. Ruffles are perfect - got tons of compliments. The only minor issue is that the bottom of the dress appears to be scissor cut and there is no hem. Still, I'd rent again!

Pretty but a bit clingy
Unique pattern (love the splash of yellow over the shoulders). However, the fabric tie belt kept drooping, making the dress look messy on me. Also the material (as expected) is clingy so I found myself constantly smoothing out so it wasn't too short. This would likely be much better as a summer dress with no tights.

Gorgeous!
Such a beautiful print and so comfortable. I was worried about the length, as it hits mid-calf on me, but I love how it looked - people stopped me on the street to compliment the dress!

Great fall dress that runs a bit large
So so pretty but unfortunately the 0 is too big in the bust, hips, and waist; the length is great, though, and the construction of the dress is beautiful.

Beautiful dress and fit
I was worried that this would be too small, based on the previous reviews, and was prepared to size up. The size 0 actually fits like a dream- zips right up and is not tight below the bust. It is tough to find a dress that fits my frame so well. This is a gorgeous, unique, well-tailored piece - recommend!!

Comfy and stylish
I'm v petite and thought the dress was too large when I tried it on. That said, I love the blousy fit. It had a mid-60s vibe and the fabric is silky and light (especially during a heat wave in NYC). Love!
