Very easy to wear!
This is a very easy dress for a summer workday. Lightweight fabric but not sheer, well-cut, can throw it on and go. Fabric is vibrant. May be tight on the chest for a very large bust but was perfect for a medium sized chest.

Swimming in this one
Really liked the fabric on this one. Crisp and vibrant material. However, I was swimming in this and couldn't get the sleeves to stay out on my shoulders. Definitely recommend sizing down.

Love the pattern, still can't decide if I liked the dress.
The pattern and details on this dress are lovely and the material is nice, like a crepe silk, it felt like quality vintage. The cut was funny. There is some draping fabric around the shoulders and the waist is slightly, but not fully, drop waisted. I am 5'6" with a longer torso and this hit below the knee. If I owned this dress I would probably take it to the tailor to bring up the waist and make it more of a dressy shirt dress. This is one that looked great in the bag but not so much on.

Sad to send this one back!
I loved wearing this dress. I am not a huge fan of my arms but it can be hard to find formal wear that isn't sleeveless. This dress fit well and was very comfortable, I had no issues with it during the night. Would rent again for a formal event!

Fun, flexible top
Are usually don't like a boxy top, but I really enjoyed wearing this one. It looks great tucked in, I could be warm out as well. The shoulders are fun and give it a new twist. I would wear it again.

Loved the fabric but fit is for a long person
I really liked the fabric of the stress, it is substantial and the cut was a little bit different than a lot of dresses I have rented. However, I think this is made for someone with a really long torso. The neckline was just too low and the heavy fabric pulls it down. Too bad it didn't work.

Pretty coat, way too large
Didn't read the reviews and the recommended size (XL for a usual 12) was way too big. Could probably size down two sizes if you don't have a large bust. Too bad because it was pretty and the fabric was lovely!

Going to be hard to return this one!
Really enjoyed this dress. Comfortable for and lightweight feel. Material would make it hard to wear with tights but I've work this with a long blazer, with a turtleneck sweater and with heels and it has worked all ways. May never return...!

Like the print
The print is really fun. I think I expected this dress to be more formal and in reality it is more on the casual side. Would look good with skinny legs and sandals. The lining showed below the hemline, which was also annoying.

Cute dress, not on me
Loved the fabric of this dress but in the end it was just not that cute on me. A little snug in my usual size as well. Also a little shorter than my preference.
Jillian Grommet Knit Dress

Size Worn: XL

Pretty shift dress
Definitely snug but fabric is structured. A little lower cut than usual but I have a smaller chest and it was not an issue. Condition is a little worn but not bad for work. I wouldn't rent for a formal occasion but for daytime wear it was great and easy with a blazer.
Navy Jacquard Sheath

Easy to wear knit
This was a really easy dress to wear. Heavy knot with good draping. If you are between sizes I would suggest going down. Great arm coverage!
Black Stiched Knit Dress

Not flattering
Feel like these should be cute but first, they ran large (I am a 12 and the XL had room). Second, the seams are not right at or above the knee but higher up in an odd spot. Too bad as the material was sturdy and the stripe on the side is cute.

Versatile jacket
Enjoyed wearing this and received lots of compliments. Great length, easy to wear with slim pants and I felt good about it covering my butt! Easy to push the sleeves up or wear down. Fabric is substantial but with a little bit of stretch. Would wear again!

Pop of color
I wore this to an industry event in a cold weather climate. Received many compliments including from my boss. The fabric is light so this could easily be worn in summer, but worked well with tights, boots and a blazer. I have a wide rib cage and it was snug around the waistline but not so much that I was uncomfortable. This has been one of my favorite rentals to date.

Great puff sleeve
The fit on this top is generous. Flowing but hangs nicely and do t have to do a lot of adjusting. The bow is sweet but sophisticated but it is really the little bit of puffed sleeve that sets it apart. Could tuck it in or wear it hanging and can go more casual or dressier as you choose.

Gold star rental
I loved this dress and would rent again or even buy. Others have commented on the skirt being full. It was a little fuller than I am used to but the shape was great. Hits at a good spot on the waist. I wore this to work with tights and boots and also on a vacation dinner with bare legs and sandals. Worked for both. Lots of compliments both times. Sturdy fabric with a little stretch - substantial item.

Forgettable
Nice color and fabric and fit was true to size but these didn't do anything g special. I have larger thighs and these bunched at the knees. My husband said they were not flattering. Returned without wearing.

Nice change up for a blazer
This is a good RTR unlimited item. Not sure I would have purchased this but I enjoyed wearing it and it was a nice change up from my other blazers. It is polyester, so is pretty light, and does not close in the front. Easy to fit under a sweater and ran pretty true to size. Neat pattern. Feel you could dress this up or down easily. There are small shoulder pads and they seem to have shifted around a little so I did have to spend a little time working them back into place.

Great size, versatile bag.
Borrowed this to wear to work daily and for an upcoming work trip where I will be touring a city for several days. Fits a decent amount including slim wallet, 2 glasses cases, phone, lipstick, small hairbrush. You could probably get an iPad mini or kindle paper white in there but not a full size. Love that it adjusts to be a crossbody or a shoulder bag. Rich color, works with a lot. The "paperclip" clasp is easy and unique. Could see this rental turn into a purchase.

Odd top, too many things going on.
Positives: It was fairly substantial fabric and the fit was right. I liked the shape and the waist nip. I have a thicker waist and smaller chest. Negatives: Felt like a lot going on with the two patterns, the straps, the buttons. Just didn't feel it was that flattering in the end. Returned it without wearing it.

Fun flowing top
Very cute top. His a thick waistline well but great for a daytime shopping trip and casual evening on a Florida vacation. Maybe ran slightly large but I don't have a huge chest so would recommend sizing true if you have a large chest.

Cute top for casual wear
Top was cute and fit was true to size. It was shorter than the tops I typically wear - hit at the waistline. The peplum was a little billowy so maybe not the most flattering but it was comfortable and colorful.
