Perfect for my “Lover” era!
I rented the full set to attend one of the Taylor Swift Eras shows — perfection! I’m 5’0” and really short-waisted, so it didn’t fit me too much like a crop top but was still a great fit! Bright pastels + sequins = showstopper look for sure!

Really cute but drowned my small frame a bit
A belt gave it just a little shape! Was perfect for a dinner date.

Really cute, wrinkles easily, not ideal for large chests
I’m short (generally), short-waisted, and have a large bust for my size — I found myself constantly pulling down the top part of the dress to fit all of my breasts in there/because it was designed for someone with a longer torso and there was very little stretch to help with button gaping in that area. It wasn’t too bad and was still wearable for one night. Really cute sleeves and wish it fit me just a bit better, as I’m a sucker for corduroy.

Cozy and roomy -- perfect for fall WFH!
Rented this for extra coziness during a work from home day that I didn't have any video calls. :) It is so soft, warm, and comfortable! It is sized large, in my opinion -- I rented a medium (my usual sweatshirt size), and I'm practically swimming in it. That's not a bad thing, but if you're renting to wear out of the house and want something with a snugger fit, you may want to size down.

Perfect windbreaker for hiking in multiple climates!
I rented this for a September trip to the Pacific Northwest and ended up wearing it on every hike we took -- and bought it. It has lots of zippered pockets, which are great for making sure items stay secure on strenuous hikes. Easily tied around my waist when I warmed up and the hidden hood was an excellent touch! Wore on the Oregon coast, the temperate rainforest, and Mt. Rainier -- perfect for all three!

Really cute everyday dress!
I've rented this dress two separate times now and I don't know why I haven't bought it. It's comfortable, breezy, and cute! The fabric doesn't have much stretch, but it's a loose-fitting dress so it doesn't matter. :) Rent it! So cute.

Perfect purse replacement for a Hawaiian vacation!
I rented this for a 10-day trip to Hawaii where I knew I'd be doing a ton of adventuring and didn't want to lug around a shoulder bag. This fit the bill perfectly! It held my sunblock, wallet, kindle, a just-in-case sweater, and other accessories perfectly. It had about the same carrying capacity as my regular mid-sized purse and was also great for the flights to Hawaii and back home. The bright color also gave perfect vibes for the environment!

Cute work dress
This dress is great for fall! The jewel tones are very vibrant in person and it looked cute with both boots and heels. It was pretty shapeless, but I'm not upset about that. Overall, a great rental!

Perfect tartan skirt!
I loved everything about this skirt! I'm glad I sized up, as the fabric has absolutely zero give. I recommend you do the same if you're between sizes. The two horizontal black bands across the middle of the skirt are a tinsel-like material, but I loved them! Got tons of compliments on this one.

Really pretty -- borderline work-appropriate if you have a bigger chest
I loved this dress, but I didn't feel comfortable in it at work -- the chest was a tiny bit lower cut than I typically wear and I ended up wearing a jacket zipped over it. I'd say it was "borderline" work-appropriate.

Difficult sleeves, but otherwise lovely!
My bust is disproportionate with the rest of my body, and I was able to pull off a medium without a ton of gapping between buttons. I wore a black slip underneath just to be safe. I ended up using double-sided tape on the sleeves because they kept getting in the way when I was trying to type.

LOVE. Ignore the reviews about the fit being weird and try it!
I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with sleeves, but here we are. Such a fun print, which made it perfect for a fall weekend, but also conservative enough to transition to work on Monday. I did have to steam it before wearing, but that isn't a deal-breaker for me. Rent this dress!!

Great for fall, but size up!
The dress is perfect for fall, with its burgundy base and subtle python print. Be warned, though, the fabric has zero give. I'm pretty busty, and I found myself fighting with the zipper (which is on the size, not the back) for a good five minutes to actually get it zipped.

Cute, comfy work dress...with pockets!
Solid work dress. Loved the pockets, the stretchy fabric, and the pattern. I'm 5'0" and the dress hit a couple inches below my knee but didn't look bad.

Perfect dress!
I loved everything about this dress. Some notes: the sleeves are quite large and you have to keep an eye on them. I almost dipped them in my lunch when I reached for the salt and they got wet every time I washed my hands. The fabric at the bottom of the dress wrinkles a bit easy because it's flowy, but my steamer took care of it no problem!

Perfect fall dress!
This dress is amazing! It was a perfect dress to kick off fall: sleeveless, so a layered cardigan was appropriate; short, so I could wear it with my over-the-knee boots; and thick fabric, so I wasn't freezing in my icebox of an office! Love, love, love.

This dress is AMAZING! The color is beautiful and vibrant, the fit is true to size, and the length is perfect for spring or fall. Even at 5'0", the longer length worked just fine. I'm debating purchasing!

Sort of an odd fit, but a fine dress overall
I liked the pattern of this dress and the front buttons from top to bottom (which are actual buttons and not just decoration). The waist was super fitted, but the dress was otherwise loose-fitting, making for a sort of odd fit. The material was thin and breathable, but there was zero stretch. No slip underneath, either. I liked it overall, but didn't love it.

Wonderful dress to kick-start fall fashion!
This dress is beautiful, the fabric is stretchy, and it has POCKETS! Got tons of compliments all day. The only reason I took off a star is because the fabric collects debris and required constant lint rolling/brushing off throughout the day, which was a bit frustrating. I will absolutely rent this again.

Forever in love with Lil Grumps!
The coloring is consistent and this photo (unfortunately the only one I have) is misleading in that regard. I loved this backpack and got so many compliments! I was able to easily carry a couple books + all my normal "purse stuff" whilst on vacation.

Decent summer dress
I didn't hate this, but I didn't love it. I'm shorter (5'0") and definitely shorter-waisted, and you can see in the photo that the waist of the dress hit me in a weird spot. The length was to just below my knees. Nonetheless, I got several compliments on the colors and pattern on the dress and it was comfortable.

Pretty wrap dress with super low neckline -- busty girls, beware!
I liked this dress overall. The pattern was gorgeous, the dress was comfortable (basically; see the rest of my review), and it served its purpose of upgrading my vacation look. My issue is that it was VERY low cut and no amount of fashion tape or wrap tightening would help keep things under control. I ended up buttoning my cardigan at the top in order to feel less exposed.

I LOVED this dress. I definitely recommend sizing up if you're busty or between sizes, as it's 100% silk and the fabric has no stretch. I will be renting it again before November hits. :)

This was great for my semi-formal office. I loved the color and the length. I'm not a huge fan of scuba material, but I liked this dress enough to overlook the texture.

Beautiful dress with some fit issues. Size UP.
I went two sizes above my normal dress size and still felt the dress was a little tight. The lapels at the neck area wouldn't stay in place without double-sided tape and, even then, the fabric pulled against the tape all day. I also had issues with the hem riding up, making it barely work-appropriate. I'm still giving it four stars because the fabric was super soft, the dress was comfortable overall, and I felt luxurious all day. Tons of compliments.

Cute work dress, but nothing super special
I liked this dress but didn't love it. I got a lot of compliments -- lots of people telling me I looked "extra fancy" -- but it ran small and was a bit uncomfortable. The dropped waist sat in an odd spot on my hips and I found myself pulling it down every time I stood up. I also had to untie the bow when driving because it interfered with my seatbelt.

This was a nice, easy work dress. The fabric felt silky and luxurious, it had good movement, and it would have looked cute with flats (if I wore flats).

I liked this dress a lot, but the puffiness of the skirt made me feel a bit like a cupcake. The fabric was a beautiful color and it was appropriate for work and transitioned nicely for post-work dinner plans.

Lemon yellow, perfect summer dress
I loved this dress!! As others have mentioned, the top is very loose and could potentially show more than you want it to. It was easily fixed with some double-sided tape. The color is a gorgeous lemon yellow in person; it's perfect for spring or summer. I got tons of compliments on this one!

If you're busty, size up!
I liked this dress a lot. The color was a bright, vibrant pink. The fabric was substantial. The cut was okay -- I don't typically love drop waist dresses, but I felt like this one looked all right. I'm busty and have wide hips, and I found that there was some noticeable button gapping, especially when I sat down. Layered with a cami, it worked for the day.

Nice dress, low-cut without cami
This dress is beautiful! The color is an nice jade green and the fabric is SO soft and luxurious. It doesn't wrinkle easily. The arms are a little tight (tight enough that it's difficult - but not impossible - to reach behind to do the last part of the zipper, but not uncomfortable) and it is incredibly low-cut. Definitely only work-appropriate with a cami underneath.

This dress was a little more casual than I typically wear for work, but it was still appropriate for my business-dress office. I loved the little "Kate Spade" hidden in the scribbled pattern and the stretchy, forgiving fabric.
