Gorgeous silk, size UP
I normally wear an 8 but after reading the other reviews I ordered a 12, which fit like a glove. The silk feels like a designer scarf. The cut and pattern are very 90s. Surprised by how much I liked this one!

Not for me
Oh man I hated this shirt. The fabric is very stiff and it's cropped but very wide. I don't know who could wear this - if you have any boobs at all don't rent this, it's really unflattering.

Felt unfinished
The neckline of this dress did not work on me at all as a relatively petite person - it would not lie flat across my shoulders and it felt almost unfinished, like the stitching had come undone (though I think it's just the look). I ended up returning it without wearing it. Don't rent this if you're short or have narrow shoulders.

Size up
Funky dress, like two 90s dresses shredded on top of each other. Could've sized up in the bust, length was great.

Versatile and light
I loved this one! Very light silk, I was able to wear it for brunch at a bachelorette weekend and at work later in the week. At 5'3" I didn't find it too short, though I did wear tights. Only complaint is I was missing a button on the cuff.

A+ work dress
Fit almost perfectly, the shoulders were a tiny bit too wide but the rest was fabulous for a curvy petite body. Lined with good stretch and a nice length. The detail at the neck is illusion mesh-fabric.

I liked these but ended up not wearing because they were too much for a regular day. Would be good for an event to bump up a simple outfit.

Super bright and fun. I'm usually between an M and an L and the M had room to spare. No lining, very breezy. A very orange red.

Mara <3
Maybe someday I'll win the lottery and only buy MH sweaters. Till then I'll keep renting them. Another perfect cotton sweater from Mara Hoffman, comfy and bright. It's a very bright orange, not red. My torso must be short because this didn't seem too cropped to me.

Totally unique
It feels like parachute material and is really heavy, but I loved this look. You could dress it up for an event but I wore it with a big necklace, sweater and boots for a kind of funky work look. It makes noise when you walk.

Super cute! Loved the colors, knit, stretch. Only complaint are the sleeves are a bit of an awkward length.

Size down
I love an expensive oversized sweater but this was too much for me. I felt like I was wearing a hockey jersey. The knit is really beautiful but I wish I had gone down a few sizes.

Runs small in the chest
Cool 80s vibe to this dress. I was sad I couldn't wear this one, the fabric is really vibrant and silky. Unfortunately it was really tight in the chest. I'm a 32DDD and my boobs were squished.

Sexy
Sexy dress I could wear a bra with, praise. I got this for a date but was able to wear it to work that day with opaque tights and a cardigan. In a more conservative work environment it probably would've been too much. It's low cut, tight and short.

Wore to a birthday party with tights and booties. The sleeves are long and the skirt is short. I really liked this one!

Comfortable and form-fitting
Comfy work dress, definitely a little busty but not so much that I felt self-conscious. More of an olive color.

So cute! 70's apres-ski chic. Lots of compliments and comments from my coworkers. Comfy but zero stretch so size up. I'm an 8 and wore an XL.

Very Italian
This is very European, in that it's chic but also kind of like a hospital gown?? It's weird but grew on me as the day went on. I'm a little too short and curvy to fully pull off a dress like this but it ultimately worked.

Only complaint with this dress was its length - it's a little long. Beautiful red and nice shape. Got compliments!

I've rented this dress before in bright green - this color is less fun but still an easy way to look cute and professional.

Too sexy for work
I got this hoping it would be work appropriate but it's too sexy. Would be good for a date night. The fabric wasn't my favorite, it's kind of microfiber-y.

Love!
Such a cool coat. Unfortunately by the time it arrived the weather got really cold, so I only wore it once, but I want to rent it again when it's a little more mild. Fits big but that's the style so embrace it.

Cool but didn't wear
This dress is a cool cut but very tight, and that plus the abstract camo print made me too self conscious to wear this to my job in a government setting. Could work for someone else though!

Groovy
Someone else described this as an art teacher dress and that's very accurate. Unique and comfortable knit dress that is so wildly expensive ( AKA my favorite kind of rental). It was almost to my ankles and warm on a rainy winter day.

Classy
This blouse feels like something an ADULT LADY wears, like a character in a Nora Ephron movie. I loved it, and even though it's so simple it's the type of thing I never would buy for myself for fear of spills and dry cleaning costs. Great piece.

Mixed feelings
This jacket was fun and attention-grabbing. The print is BRIGHT and you definitely need to feel confident standing out. As others said, I hate that the pockets are on the seam - very impractical.

Loved!
I felt like a classy lady in this dress. Appreciated a wrap dress that wasn't a v neck and the print was great for both work and dinner. Only issue was the shoulders were a little wide for me (which is common with DVF wrap dresses) but the length was petite-friendly.
