Cute, Comfortable & Perfect for Work
Such a cute dress! It was perfect for the office—comfortable enough to wear all day while still looking polished and put together. The fit was true to size and very flattering without being too fitted. I love pieces that can easily transition from work to dinner, and this one does exactly that. I received several compliments and would definitely rent it again.

Effortlessly Elegant & So Versatile
I absolutely loved this dress! The colors are gorgeous and even more beautiful in person. I wore it to a bridal shower, and it fit like a glove. It was incredibly flattering, comfortable, and felt so elegant without being overdone. One of my favorite things about it is how versatile it is—I can easily dress it up with heels and jewelry for a special occasion or dress it down for a more casual look. I’ll definitely be renting this one again!

Flattering Day-to-Night Dress for Office & Weekend Brunch
I loved this dress! It works for the office and casual outings, fits well, and is very comfortable without highlighting trouble spots. The only downside is that it wrinkles easily and needs a quick steam, but it’s still worth renting.

Effortlessly Elegant from Desk to Drinks
This green dress is absolutely gorgeous! The color is even more beautiful in person—rich, vibrant, and perfect for summer. It fit me like a glove and was incredibly flattering without feeling restrictive. The fabric is lightweight and comfortable, making it ideal for warm weather. I wore it to the office and then straight to happy hour afterward, and it was perfect for both. It’s one of those versatile dresses that makes you feel polished and confident all day long. I would definitely rent this one again!

Stunning Print & Quality, but very revealing in the chest area
I loved the vibrant print and beautiful quality—Farm Rio never disappoints. The chest area a little tight and more revealing than I expected, so I paired it with a white wrap sweater, which worked perfectly. Gorgeous dress, but I preferred it with a little extra coverage.

Not the Right Fit for Me
I ended up not wearing this dress. The fit was very boxy and unfortunately made me feel a bit frumpy rather than flattering. It was also heavier than I expected, especially for a spring or summer dress. While the quality seemed nice, the style and weight just didn’t work for what I was looking for.

Elegant, Comfortable, and So Many Compliments
This dress is absolutely perfect! It fit me slightly large around the chest area, but it was still very manageable with a strapless bra to help fill it out a bit more. I was super comfortable the entire time and received tons of compliments while wearing it. One thing to keep in mind is that the fabric wrinkles very easily, especially if you’re traveling. Luckily, I brought a steamer with me, which made a huge difference. Overall, I loved this dress and would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely Magnificent Dress for a Wedding in Italy
This dress was absolutely magnificent — I loved it so much! I bought it before I even had a place to wear it, and it ended up being perfect for a wedding in Italy. The fit was slightly large, and I probably could have sized down, but after a small alteration it fit beautifully. The length was perfect right from the start — absolutely spot on. I received so many compliments and felt amazing wearing it!

Surprisingly Elegant and Flattering Fit
I’ll admit, my first impression of this dress on the hanger was just okay—it didn’t immediately wow me when I received it. But once I put it on, my opinion completely changed. The dress is truly elegant and fits beautifully. It drapes in a way that feels polished and refined, without highlighting any flaws. It’s one of those pieces that looks much better on than off, and I felt confident and comfortable wearing it. Definitely a pleasant surprise!

Navy Dress That Does Double Duty
I love a good navy dress, and this one really delivers. It creates such a flattering silhouette, with a flowy skirt that moves beautifully. What I love most is how versatile it is—you truly get two distinct looks in one. I wore it to work and it was perfect, but with a different pair of shoes and some statement jewelry, it would easily shine at a cocktail party or special occasion.

Perfect Spring Floral Frock with a Playful Touch
This beautiful floral frock is perfect for spring—I absolutely loved the soft watercolor print and overall design. It fit true to size, which made ordering easy and stress-free. The cotton fabric gives it a light, breathable feel, though it does wrinkle fairly easily. Thankfully, it’s lined, which adds a bit of structure and comfort. I’ll admit, I did have a moment where I wondered if I might be a little too old for this style—but I wore it anyway and felt great. It’s a cute, cheerful dress that’s hard not to love!

Great Spring Dress with a Few Fit Tweaks
Such a cute dress—I really love the concept and the overall vibe. It feels perfect for spring and easy to style. That said, I was a little on the fence about the execution. The attached T-shirt is amazing quality (seriously soft and well-made), but it runs a bit oversized, which threw off the fit slightly for me. Overall, still a great spring dress with lots of potential—just something to keep in mind if you prefer a more tailored look!

Absolutely loved this gorgeous creamy sweater dress! It has a subtle sparkle that doesn’t interfere with daytime wear at all—it just adds a touch of elegance.

Love This Blue Polka Dot Dress — Perfect for Spring Transition!
I absolutely love this blue polka dot dress! It’s perfect for transitioning into spring — lightweight but still has enough structure to feel put together. The ruching in the front is super flattering and really enhances your shape in all the right ways. I’ve already had multiple people ask me about it! The sizing is spot on, too — it fit exactly as expected. Just such an easy, feel-good dress. Definitely a favorite!

Stylish, Comfortable, and Perfect with Tights
I absolutely loved this mixed-media little dress from Rent the Runway. It was incredibly stylish and fit like a glove while still being super comfortable. The design felt unique and flattering, making it a standout piece. That said, it does run a bit short, so I personally wouldn’t rent it for a season when I couldn’t pair it with tights. With tights, though, it worked like a dream and felt totally appropriate and chic.

Cute Little Brown Sweater Dress 🤎
I had to wear a sweater underneath since we’re still in that awkward in-between spring and winter phase (it was in the 40s today 🥶), but I can already tell this is going to be a staple as it warms up! Once the temps rise a bit, I’d definitely wear it on its own with just pumps—no stockings—and let the dress really shine. It’s such a cute outfit and accents all the right places. I just love this little frock! True to size, great length, and super flattering. Would absolutely rent this again 💫

Love This One — Effortless Elegance from Work to Dinner
Absolutely love this dress. It’s elegant, flattering on the frame, and incredibly versatile. I wore it for work and it transitioned perfectly into dinner after — just a quick change of accessories and it feels completely elevated. The fit is really forgiving and smooth, without clinging in the wrong places. It’s also perfect for those in-between seasons when you’re not sure what to wear. This is one I’d definitely consider purchasing — such a great staple piece.

Cute, Comfortable & Flattering — Just Not a Showstopper
This is a really cute, easy dress that fits my body frame nicely without clinging or highlighting any areas I’d rather not emphasize. The fabric feels soft and comfortable, which makes it great for all-day wear. That said, it’s more on the average side overall — nothing particularly standout, but still a solid, flattering option. Definitely a great go-to dress if you want something simple, comfortable, and reliable.

Chic Leather Moment — Better for Date Night Than the Office
I love my leather dresses, so I was excited to try this one. It was just okay for me, mainly because I probably could have gone down a size. I wore it to work with a bodysuit underneath because of the cutout, which helped make it a little more office-appropriate. That said, I think I would like it much more in the right size and without the bodysuit for a date night look. I might rent it again for that and see how it feels!

Loved this dress! It gave me that “yes, I’m that executive queen” vibe and fit like a glove. It’s a little short, so it worked perfectly with tights—I wouldn’t wear it without them. The sleeves were slightly long, so I just folded them up. Amazing dress!

Great Dress — Soft & Flattering
Loved this dress! The fabric is soft and very forgiving, and it lays nicely on the body. The material is perfect for the winter-to-spring transition. My only complaint is that it was very long on me, even with heels. I added a belt and it worked perfectly, but something to keep in mind if you’re on the shorter side.

Timeless elegance with a modern edge.
Elegant perfection. It has a trench-coat vibe with a flattering flare that makes it feel polished and timeless. I probably could have sized down, and the sleeves were slightly long, but folding the cuffs worked perfectly. I wore it with boots since we were buried in snow, but it would look just as stunning with pumps in the spring. If the price drops, I’d absolutely consider buying — and I’d definitely rent it again.

I loved this cardigan sweater dress — the color is absolutely beautiful. It’s incredibly comfortable and soft, not scratchy at all. I wore it while traveling for work, and it was perfect for that. That said, I could have sized down for a more flattering fit. The sleeves were a bit long, and I had to roll them up so they wouldn’t hang past my fingers.

Another win from Peter Som. The olive green is perfection and the fit was incredibly flattering. A bit shorter than my usual, but still modest and age-appropriate for me.

I absolutely loved this Simkhai leather skirt. The fit was perfection — sizing was completely spot on — and it was surprisingly comfortable for leather. It’s one of those versatile staples you can style a hundred ways: dress it up with heels and a sleek blouse, or keep it casual with boots and a knit. If it weren’t such an investment piece, it would already be living in my permanent closet rotation. Loved everything about it.

Just ok
This one was just okay for me. I get the concept, but the execution didn’t quite land. I think it could work better styled differently—maybe with heels—but with snow and ice on the ground, that wasn’t really an option. I also should have sized down; the sleeves were very long and I had to fold the cuffs over, which kind of ruined the look for me. Overall, not a bad dress, just not a standout and not quite right for how I needed to wear it this time.
