Dark beauty surprise
The fit of this dress was nice & comfortable. My arms are long so the sleeve length was perfect. The material is luxurious and everything is what is expected from Ted Baker.

Comfortable & Breathable
I absolutely loved loved loved this dress. I wore it several times & wanted to live, sleep, pray, eat in it. I will probably buy it. The only question I have is which size to go for. I wore the LR but can probably fit the MR with ease. I'll order & wear the MR before I decide but I will OWN this dress soon.

I rented this dress for Easter church service. It did not disappoint. I took the previous reviews to heart & sized up. It fit perfectly. The pictures don't do it justice. Trust me, it's a mesmerizing color combo. Perfection. My significant other loved it. He couldn't stop staring at me. I wish I could buy it but it's a bit pricey to purchase. It's worth every penny & dollar, though!!!

Flirty Edge
I can't say enough great things about this sweater. It was feminine. It was flirty. It was sexy. It was innocently edgy. Love. Love. Love. I would have bought it but it is a bit pricey, even with a discount. I begrudgingly sent it back.

I loved this dress. It was a bit more conservative than I usually wear but it was lovely. I received compliments all day from men & women alike. It's constructed beautifully. I'm glad I took a chance & ordered it. It does run a little small, though.

Simple with a Twist
I rented this to be airport chic on my way to the ProBowl in Orlando, FL. It was a great choice, as that weekend it was cold in FL It had just the right amount of flair being open in the back. Simple from the front. Party in the back. It was a great choice.

Striped Beauty!
I read the reviews. So I automatically sized up to a LR. The dress fit beautifully & hugged all the right curves. I initially wore it to a concert but after seeing it is work appropriate, I'll end up wearing it to work before I return it. Sounds like a win-win situation.

A unique tailored piece. A cross between a cape & blazer. Perfect!!! The only downside was it was difficult to wear an overcoat because the piece is so thick but I live in a cold climate-have to wear a coat.

Awesome Flair
This skirt was very fun & was comfortable to wear. I knew it ran small, so I sized up to a large after reading the reviews. It was Avant Gard, a piece of art, really. My coworkers kept asking me to do the twist in it:) Fun! Fun! Fun!

Everyone at work had to stop me & admire my skirt. It fit beautifully & had just the right amount of flirt. However, if you are going to wear this to work, I would suggest you wear black tights or a slip underneath because the lace portions are see thru:)

Beautiful but Small
I so looked forward to wearing this but I couldn't because it fit small, even though I sized up. I would suggest sizing up two sizes, if you want to try it. The material & print were extremely beautiful.

I loved this look. I got compliments all day long from men & women. They're really starting to wonder how my closet is so awesome:) I wore a black long sleeve tee underneath & riding boots to complete the look. It fits a bit snug around the rib cage but not horribly. I have to rent this again for an event.

I wore this on a cold day to work. It's very polished looking. I wore it with my own belt. I didn't realize that it is slight furry which added to the dimension of style. A very unique piece. I'll definitely rent it again.

I received compliments on this piece ALL day long at work. It was a fabulous artsy look, constructed with a very thick ridged material. My coworkers were fascinated to touch it. I rented & wore the L, although I should of worn the M but it wasn't available. I will definitely rent this again in the proper size.

Navy Love
I rented this for work but ended up wearing it for play. Because of the capri leg, I wanted to get it in before the weather changes. The fabric was of great quality & the cut was flattering. It was a deep navy, almost black, blue. Very rich. It's a bit hard to button but that's a minor detail. I had a hard time returning this one. I would love to add it to my closet for the right price.

Casual Day Lovely!
The fit was fabulous & just long enough for my long legs. If you're any taller than 5'7", it may be short for you. It was very comfortable for work. The only downside is that I had to wear a camisole underneath because of the cut in the front & back. Although, I appreciated the detailed snap on the front flap. It was so fun & fresh. I got compliments all day.

Color Blast done right!
I fell in love with this bag at first sight. It is a beautiful vibrant color but not overpowering. I kept it for several weeks & it was very difficult to return it but I wanted to try other items before I decided. I received tons of compliments from men & women alike. It's definitely a statement piece. It wasn't as heavy as I anticipated from the reviews, at least not any heavier than a normal solidly constructed leather bag. I loved it & might end up buying it.

Pretty but Small.
I should have read the reviews before I ordered these. They definitely run very small. I'm fairly tall & slim. I ordered one size up but 2 sizes up is needed for anyone with even a slight curve. Make no mistake they are worth ordering & I will get them again because they are extremely beautiful. I'll just be mindful of the sizing next time. The culottes cut make them a fun pair.

These pants are fabulous. I had several compliments, as well as, an offer to steal them from me, which was hilarious. They fit true to size & are completely comfortable. The only downside is that they are line & fit puffy around the waist/stomach area, which isn't very flattering.

Unfortunately, I wore this to a funeral but on the bright side, it was perfect for a very cold, long day. The material is thick & the sleeves are long enough for coverage. Also, it was extremely comfortable. I stayed in it all day with no problem.

You're not supposed to out dress the bride but I couldn't help it wearing this dress. No apologies. I fell in love with this dress. It disappointed in no way & all eyes were on me. Tons of compliments all day & night! Sorry bride;) The skirt is very puffy but as expected. I have long legs & wore it with tall suede boots. I thought it was too much leg for a winter wedding but I would rent it again in the Summer. The only negative is the arm holes are a bit small & I have small arms, so I wore the 6. I would size up in this dress, if possible.

Artsy
I loved the concept of this dress. Unfortunately, my original size wasn't available. I have a very slender but curvy build & still wouldn't have worn the small. This dress runs small. Next time, I'll rent the medium & large. Hopefully, one will fit properly because I love the dress.

Loved Every Minute Of It
I love BCBG & this dress did not disappoint. I wore it with fishnets & high suede boots. I would have been the bell of the ball but I didn't end up going to my function because of a seating snafu:/ & I wasn't about to stand in 5" heels at a concert!!! So, I ended up at the bar! HAha but all eyes were still on me in that dress. I highly recommend it!

Show stoppa!
I wore the larger size for the length. It is SHORT but it's worth it! I wore it to a concert & got stopped, literally, to ask if I was the star;) FUN! I wore it with Cinderella clear stilettos, deep blue(almost black) nails & a red patent clutch. The dress has definite red undertones. Another plus was the long sleeves on a cool Fall night.

I've been itching to rent this dress for awhile. I loved every minute of wearing it. I'm also liking this designer, as I've rented their melon colored jumpsuit, also. Both fit beautifully. The only negative is the pockets would not stay tucked. They kept popping out. Leaving me with no choice but to keep checking them or putting my hands in the pockets. A strategic pinning or stitch would be better. That was kinda annoying because I wore it to a concert. Other than that, it's all positive.

Gorgeous color! Show stopper!
I've been absolutely in love with this dress for a year. I finally had the opportunity to rent it & it did not disappoint. It's a stunning dress. I got compliments all day & night. I wore it to my family reunion banquet on a dinner river boat. It was the perfect choice. Orange seems to be the color this season because several of my family members wore orange but none stood out like this dress. I usually don't like strapless dresses because I have a small bust & narrow torso but I did not have a problem at all. I loved it. Waiting for this one to go on clearance:) Sorry, I'm camera shy-no pics!

Beautiful color & fabric!
I rented this for a weekend vacation trip to my family reunion. I was impressed by the color & fabric. Someone stopped me in the hotel to rave about my dress. The unfortunate part was the fit. The size small fit well enough, would of liked more room but it was longer in length than the medium(I'm 5'7"). I would have preferred the comfortable fit of the medium because this dress is going to show EVERY curve the tighter it is. However, the small did fit & I had a great time. Side note: Also, disappointed that this dress went on clearance right before my reservation & they wanted me to return it, just to purchase it but not giving any credit for the rental, then send it back:/. So, in essence paying twice:( That doesn't seem fair. I wasn't doing that. It'll be a nice buy for someone! Enjoy!

I could not get this jumpsuit over my hips.
I could not get this jumpsuit over my hips & I'm very slim but curvy. I was disappointed because the stylist sent it to me as a replacement for another item. I guess it's made for someone with no junk in the trunk @ ALL.

Shows off a lot of leg.
I didn't end up wearing this romper but I really wanted to. I was trying to make up another outing to wear it to:) It wasn't hot enough here in Washington, DC to wear it to the concert. It fit very well. Shows a lot of leg & I'm fairly tall. So, if you're shy be careful!

Awesome color! A stand out @ the concert!
It was a perfect fit, true to size. I wore it to a concert & heads were turning to look @ me, all night:) However, if you have any cellulite(which I don't, thank God) this may not be the jumpsuit for you. It shows every curve but in a great way. I'm fairly tall. So, the length was just right also. I definitely recommend this. Beautifully made. Hated to return it but I rarely wear things twice to events. Enjoy!
