Obscenely short
Perfect fit and potential to be cute, but while it was maybe okay in the front, the back hem was about 1.5 inches below my tush…if I took a deep breath I’d be exposed.

So much space in the skirt, but the sleeves and top were stupid small.

Nothing special
Reallllly high waisted, no pockets. Not really cropped, but not full length. Stretched out during the day. Probably could have sized down. Felt a little frumpy, like something my mom would wear (and she is in her 70s).

Weird
So at first these were snug in the butt and thighs but big in the waist. They looked ok so I decided to go ahead and wear them. The front rise is far higher than the back so I've had to be careful not to flash some whale tail. The pants have stretched a bit and are no longer snug in any way. I keep having to pull them up and not do much activity. My single office key on a light weight chain puts too much weight in the pocket and pulls the pants down. I can't believe these are $700 pants!

Cute, but should have sized up.
I love DVF and wrap dresses. My daughter said I looked like a spy in this one, I'm not sure what she meant, but I'll take it as a compliment. I had to wear a cami to make this work appropriate because it was very booby without. I'm almost always a 10-12, but would have preferred a 14 in this set a little more coverage.

Basic black dress
Rented for a denim and diamonds type event and worn with a denim jacket, statement necklace, and boots. The dress was really just a basic black dress with lace detail. If I had a simple LBD in my closet at the time there would have been no reason to rent this, and I can't see myself renting it again or recommending it. It fit true to size, but was very short waisted so I wore the bigger size because it was about a quarter of an inch lower in the waist, but still sat about 3 inches above my natural waist...too high but too low to be empire waisted. The length came to my knee, much longer than pictured. Also, the listing and tag said Slate and Willow, but the hanger loops read Donna Morgan, so this is a rebranded Donna Morgan which could easily be found on sale for close to the rental price at Nordstrom Rack or TJMaxx. I didn't realize it was a "house brand".

Pretty dress, strange fit.
I was so excited to try this dress on. I have a curvy, athletic build with broad shoulders, and muscular arms. I usually have to get things to fit my upper body, and they end up loose on my lower body. I thought I wouldn't have problems with this dress because of the loose top. It was very pretty and well made, but it had no stretch at all, and it pulls over (no zipper anywhere). It actually fit up top, but the skirt was so tight across my butt that I thought I was going to pop a seam! Also, while it was super tight in the booty/hips, there was a strange pooch of material in the lower belly/groin area. I ended up not wearing it.

I wanted to keep it!
I forgot to get a pic in the dress, but I absolutely loved it. The lining was a little snug so I wore the larger size as not to have a uniboob. The material was super soft and flowy, the print is beautiful, and the dress was so simple and comfortable that I had no problem wearing it all day long. I liked it so much that I tried to find it for sale somewhere, but sadly couldn't.

Free Dress!!!
What a great idea! I'm going to rent a few times a year on average anyway, now I get free shipping all the time and an extra free dress on my birthday :) Totally pays for itself on the second rental!

So many compliments!!!
LOVED this dress. Classic lines, full skirt, pockets (!). Sleeves were a tiny bit tight for anyone with muscle, but the fabric does stretch a bit. I wore it to a cocktail hour/dinner/speaking engagement at a conference and got a ton of compliments. I would totally wear it again.

Couldn't even wear it.
Awesome disco ball of a dress, but I wasn't able to wear it. The model pictured must have an 18 inch waist, because I just looked like a uniboobed disco stick when I put it on. I got a medium, with a large as backup. The arms in the L were tight, and it was so short the hemline was right under my butt, if I lifted my arms up at all (even to give a hug, much less to dance) my underwear were exposed. The M was beyond obscene!

Pretty, bright colors
Very cute Lily. Wore to a wedding, got tons of compliments. Great fabric, super comfy, didn't even have to change when we went out after the reception. High empire waistline creates a bra shelf so I was able to go without. Not too short.
