A flattering punch of colour for winter
Skirt fit well. Received plenty of compliments. I love the colour and pattern. A great way to brighten up an otherwise dreary winter work wardrobe. Would rent again.

Understated elegance
Loved this dress. It fits well, has mobility in the shoulder and arms and is well fitted without compromising comfort. A simple dress, the pattern on the fabric is beautiful and the lining helps give it weight and form. Would definitely rent again.

Really wanted to love this...but not flattering for an hourglass
I was excited to get this dress: love the colour (check), wrap dress (check) and pockets! (double check)...so was super bummed when I put it on. It is comfortable and I wore it to the office but it turned my hourglass shape into a ginormous pear. This would be a good dress for someone with a more athletic/straight build as the cut will give you more of an hourglass shape. But if you have natural curves, would recommend staying away from this one. The flow added about 2" extra to my hips.

A nice alternative to the black cocktail dress for work to play transition
Dress was flattering and I loved the colour and prints. V-neck is a little low so wore with a camisole. Received a number of compliments at the office and was perfect to go straight to dinner and the opera on a weeknight.

Perfect vintage inspired summer dress
Love this dress. I got a size 6 and it fit perfectly for the top half (lately I'm a solid 8 for botttoms).40s day dress is relaxed but flattering. Perfect for hourglass and pear shapes. The silk is light so keeps you a bit warmer in an A/C office but cool when walking outside.

Great work skirt for the spring!
Worn it multiple times to the office and received a ton of compliments. Fits great and the utility belt detail makes for a bit of a twist on a black skirt.

LOVE THIS SKIRT!
I don't want to give it back! I have worn at least 3 times already. Looks awesome with a burgundy t-shirt, a white blouse or any colour sweater. Super comfortable and surprisingly versatile. It has a heavy weight so no visible lines and great for the early spring. Can't wait to be able to wear it sans tights!

Beautiful colour
Loved this top, will keep for a bit. I wore with cropped Bailey pants and received many compliments. The tunic is well tailored and was very flattering. The colour is an intense RED, which I love. The material is thick but breathable so I didn't feel too hot. Perfect for fall or the early spring.

Awesome design details but small on the hips: watch out hourglass girls
I really wanted to give this skirt a full five stars simply on design. The tweed was gorgeous and the cut front pockets and double side slits make this a truly beautiful piece. I usually wear a US6 or, if it's a narrow cut, a US8. Carven usually runs small so I opted for the size 40 (which is a US8). I had to wear it above waist in order for it to fit my hips so if I were to wear again I'd size up to the 42....but then it would likely be rather baggy on the waist. A hard fit for the true hourglass, but likely spot on for a more athletic/narrow build.

Great island dress
I rented this for a quick weekend getaway to the Caribbean for a much needed vitamin D re-charge. Notwithstanding the dress was long and dragged a bit on the floor, it was super comfortable and I received a ton of compliments. The two front/slide slips help manage the length when you walk and go up stairs so no tripping on oneself!

Elegant take on a safari classic.
Love this skirt and will likely keep for a bit on my unlimited subscription. It fits tightly on the waist so size up of you are between sizes. Great for true hourglass figures as is forgiving in the hips area. Have received lots of compliments at the office.

Super comfortable but unforgiving. Wore with a long sweater to hide my tummy pouch. Wearing Spanx with a wool skirt seemed to defeat the purpose. Received many compliments and really liked the colour.

Sooooooo tight
I went one size up based on prior comments....worth going up 2X. It has no zippers so you have to pull it over. I needed help getting it on it was so tight. That being said, no spanx necessary! If you have a large bust you would need a cami underneath, which totally couldn't fit. Once I got it on it was a lovely silouette but definitely would need to elect at least one, if not two, sizes up.

If you want to be comfortable but with a spark of glamour to an otherwise regular Monday morning at the office - this is the dress for you. Beautifully tailored, lined throughout, it fits like a glove with an A-line that hides the not-so-flat tummy. Flattering for hourglass and pear-shaped ladies! Have received many compliments all day. Will definitely keep this one for a couple of weeks.

I rented this for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday bash dinner. Everyone commented on the dress. It was really flattering. I did have to safety-pin the front to ensure no inadvertent wardrobe malfunction .Would absolutely rent again.

Beautiful Canary Yellow Summer Skirt
Notwithstanding the skirt arrived with with a bit of wear, I really enjoyed this skirt. It was a great punch of colour to an otherwise grey/blue/black office standard attire. The skirt is flattering for anyone who is a true hourglass. I would have given it 5 stars had it had pockets. The structured pleats are well stitched and the skirt falls perfectly. It is a structured cotton so you may have to do some light ironing before hand. As other reviewers mentioned, the skirt does run large. I'm normally a 4-6 and am glad I went for the 4. I had wiggle room in the waist, which was perfect for sitting at my desk all day.

Fits weird
The sleeves are very short. The shoulder seem hits in the middle of the bicep and was uncomfortable until you just get used to it. I like that it had a hoodie. I ordered this in anticipation for a trip to Copenhagen but ended up not taking as was much heavier than I expected. Better for fall or very early spring weather.

A perfect black staple for an hourglass figure!
These trousers were fantastic. I am a 4/6 and opted for the 6 here. They fit perfectly. The stitched tie belt is a lovely feature. Wore these several times and received many compliments. These look great with ballet flats or heels. They work well as a day to night transition. Comfortable and versatile, they don't wrinkle easily so work well if you need a travelling staple. Will definitely rent again.

Great green trousers - size up!!
Having read the reviews, I ordered these one size up (normally wear a 4/6) so went for the size 40. They were snug on the hip and fit on the waist but I couldn't sit down. I ordered these again a further size up to a 42 and while it was a bit loose on the waist, they were super comfortable. I received lots of compliments. Wore twice: to the office with a simple black long sleeve shirt and second to a garden event with the BYTIMO Butterfly Blouse. Loved the colour and would rent again.

Gorgeous colour, but wow is it small!
I usually wear a small and having read all the reviews I opted for a medium....could have gone for a large. But the colour is fantastic. I wore it during an outdoor wedding and looked great with my floor length summer dress. Would definitely rent again and size up X2

This was really flattering (looked better on than in the pic). Received many compliments at the office. It does slide off the shoulders so consider strapless bra or tape to pin it down if you are in a more conservative setting. Would definitely rent again.

Gorgeous hourglass but tight on shoulders
This dress is sooooo flattering but I ended up not wearing because could barely lift my arms the shoulders were so tight (and the weather finally turned nice so this dress would have been too warm) Would be great for a cocktail event.

Fun trousers for office
I usually wear a 4/6 so when read the reviews sized up to 6. They were still a bit tight around the hips. Otherwise great material and loved the detailing. Might try an 8 next time to see if they fit a bit better.

Great twist on a classic
I usually stay away from button down shirts as always have to size up for my chest and the. It's too baggy everywhere else. The twist tie in the front solves my usual dilemma. Received many compliments.

Was looking forward to this dress as generally a fan of Theory. The dress is quite short so couldn't wear to the office. Really liked the leather details but not super flattering if you have a large chest like me.

Boxy, but works
I'm usually a small but rented medium because reviews suggested was tight on top for us gals with bigger chests. It was the right call. It was very comfortable and didn't feel large. Wore to the office for a more causal work day with Tina Turk trousers also from RTR

Best winter skirt ever
This is a great versatile skirt for winter. Used it at work, for a baby shower and theater. It is super comfortable yet flattering and the knitting is thick so lines aren't obvious. It sits on your natural waist so is a great option for hourglass shapes to accentuate the waist. Wore it with different colour swearers and turtlenecks. Works well with heels, short boots and flats!

Great skirt
I wore the skirt a number of times. I wore it to work and a nigt out at the theatre. It is flattering for hour glass shapes - high waisted so excentuates a smaller waist while still fitting at the hips. It was a bit loose on the waist but this made it very comfortable for work when sitting for extended periods ;) the skirt is lined so no issues with wearing stockings or thicker tights. Will definetly rent again.
