A little frumpy
I love shift dresses as a slightly overweight rectangle body shape, but this one was not flattering, possibly due to the pattern. It made me look wider than I am (5'7", 165 lbs), even though the dress fit ok. The dress does run small -- I could have taken a 12 for a slightly more fitted, but still relaxed look, or a size 14 for a looser shift look. I ended up returning it without wearing it.

Postpartum success
I confess that I rented this postpartum and not pregnant! I sized down to a size 1, and it fits great, especially french tucked on my 5'7", 168 lb, 36B body. I have a mom pooch for sure, and I'm the heaviest I've ever been (aside from pregnancy). This material is soft, yet slightly thicker and just structured enough so it skims your curves. I think I could even wear this size up to 6 months pregnant (and I showed early) before having to size up. Recommended to any mom, pregnant or not, ha!

Size down two!
I'm still wearing these jeans with my Unlimited sub and am considering purchasing them -- that's how much I love them. I'm typically a size 29 , but I've been sizing down one in maternity jeans. With these, I sized down 2 to a 27R. They're the perfect length for flats for a 5'7" gal like me, and they look nice cuffed with sneakers or booties. The best part is that the over the belly area has buttons and elastic in the back that lets you tighten the fit (I'm 15 weeks and tightened it 2 buttons).

Cute but huge
I'm normally a medium/large and sized down to XS after reading the reviews. The top looked purposefully oversized in the width, which was great, but it was so, so long, even though I have a longer torso. Because I'm already wearing maternity pants, tucking this shirt in wasn't a good option. Perhaps this would be best for someone who is nearly 9 mo pregnant, whose belly would fill out and shorten the top.

Perfect for pregnant women
I wore this for a wedding at 14-15 weeks pregnant - the stretchy material is scuba/ponte-like and very comfortable and accommodating to a bump, even in 92-degree weather. It's also very flattering for a smaller chested woman. I typically wear a 8 or 10 in dresses and would have sized up to a 46 normally (to skim over my stomach aka problem area), but b/c the pregnancy has canceled out my issues with my midsection, a 44 was a perfect bodycon (but not too tight) fit. Wear a seamless bra/stickies!

Really cute, gets compliments
I received several compliments while wearing this top. It fits slightly large in the shoulder area and is very billowy in the midsection, per the model. Consider going one size down. It's also great if you want to hide your stomach, for whatever reason. My only con to this top was that the neck hole is quite small. I have an average size neck and it is just a touch too small. It didn't stop me from wearing it twice on Unlimited, but if you have any aversion to things touching your neck, definitely stay away from this top.

Lightweight, but get tangled
These are super cute earrings and great for dressing up a simple outfit. The posts were bent, which was not detrimental to wearing it, but it wasn't what you'd want to see. Also, the earring is made out of pieces linked together, and one of the "branches" on one earring seemed to be tangled and would not lay flat, unlike the other earrings. Totally unnoticeable flaws to everyone else except for myself.

Statement earrings for everyday wear
Super cute statement earrings! I didn't really find them itchy on my neck and thought they were nice and light. I wore these with a chambray shirt one day and a t shirt another day -- although they're a big statement, the neutral color scheme and rustic horsehair material work great to step up casual outfits. If they weren't so pricey, I'd buy them for everyday wear! My only complaint is that the post isn't as long as I'd like -- I ended up using different earring backs because the disc backs kept falling off in my ears. Traditional butterfly backs worked great!

Super cute with skinny jeans!
Is this top huge? For sure. But it's a tailored tent and looks purposefully oversized and great with skinny jeans/jeggings. I wore a size medium and it looked like it fit well (esp since the chest and shoulders fit great), but the cut is so oversized that I may have been able to size down to a small. The material is quite thick, but I had no problem wearing it in 80 degree weather, likely because it was so billowy. I'd recommend this to someone with a smaller chest (it might be too tent-like for gals with a larger chest), especially if you consider your stomach to be your problem area!

Super comfortable and great strap placement!
I love dresses made of scuba material, because they're just so comfortable. I'm 5'7", 152 lbs, 38A. I normally wear a size 8-10 (usually 10) in designer dresses. I rented a 6 and an 8 for this, and I ended up wearing the 6, which was STILL too big — the straps kept drooping from time to time throughout the night. I would take a 4 next time.

Wish I could keep it!
Super warm when it needed to be, but not too hot to wear indoors. It was such a great bomber jacket. I kept this piece longer than any other pieces I've ever rented through Unlimited. Runs TTS if not a smidge large, but not big enough to size down. Comes with great inside and outside pockets. Highly recommend! Wish it were less expensive to purchase.

Runs a smidge large
The neoprene material is super comfy, and if you're an apple shaped girl, this top is super forgiving in the midsection. I am a pretty solid size medium in tops but waffle between 4 and 6. I would recommend sizing down one size if you don't have a large chest. This totally fit but I think one size down would make the fit a little better. Super cute gold exposed zipper in the back -- the zipper can be completely unzipped. I understand the complaints about the itchiness -- the exposed seams are a little scratchy but nothing I can't live with for a wear. I wish it were lined, but other than that, it's a nice quality top. I'd pair it with skinny black jeans/pointe pants.

cute, well made, but too cropped
I was really excited to wear this piece. It's gorgeous and just as vibrant in person. Fits TTS, if not a little bit smaller but not a full size small. I really wanted to like this jacket but it was too short/cropped for my body type. I have a short torso and really long legs, so I compensate by wearing longer tops. This makes this jacket look too short, like it's hitting me in the wrong place. I tried on a ton of tops with this jacket, and none of them looked great...always something off. If it were a couple inches longer, I think I would get more use out of it.

Might be in between sizes
I am sometimes a 4, sometimes a 6 in dresses, and in this one I would've taken a 5 if it existed. The 4 was a little too tight around the rib cage, although it zipped up, so I wore the 6. However, the 6 was a little big in the top. I ended up using fashion tape to make sure the strapless side didn't droop down and show the top of my bra. If you're bustier than me, def go for the dress. If you're not, just be aware you might need some tape. Fabric was a little bit shiny and didn't feel very expensive, but the style looked great. I don't think I'll rent this dress again, but it was a nice formal dress. Def looks better without tights, but it was so cold here in Chicago for NYE!

So many compliments!
I ordered a size 4 and a size 6. I waver between both, depending on the dress. In this case, I could fit in the 4 just fine, but it was a lot more bodycon than shift dress, and given my height (and the fact that I have a short torso and long legs), I preferred the size 6, which didn't ride up as much due to its looser, but not too loose, fit. I wouldn't recommend this dress for someone much taller than me, due to how short it is. Very cute, very sparkly. Got lots of compliments on it. A little itchy at the hem when you sit down, but otherwise a solid choice for a formal event.

Great dress for a summer wedding
I waffle between a 4 and a 6 in formal dresses, and for this one, although the 4 fit, the 6 was more comfortable and just a hair longer, which made a difference in this dress at my height! I paired it with nude pumps and a gold necklace. It's very much a bright pink with fuschia undertones in real life. If you like shift dresses, this one is a great option! My only complaints are that the dress was a little bit worn and it was very short.
