Perfect!
I thought it was giving me horrible camel toe until I realized it had adjustable straps! So cute and comfortable, I could seriously wear this everyday.

Cute prairie situation
I wouldn't exactly say this was flattering, but I didn't really care. It's boxy, short, flowy, sort of weird - basically the exact sort of shirt that I love and my husband hates.

Pretty ombre
I loved the beautiful ombré, but was less enthused about the actual shirt. Fit was fine but not especially flattering. Material was sweater-like and heavier than expected.

Perfect millennial pink
This top was so feminine and delicate. The fit was great and not too short. No wrinkles. Felt like a princess, if princesses wore tops and jeans.

Cute but really short
Loved this pop of color. It was a little shapeless but I still found it flattering. I definitely could have used a few more inches, the length was fairly scandalous.

Delightful summer top
This was so light and airy. A little boxy but still flattering. I thought it would be short but the length was perfect. It did wrinkle quite a bit but I didn't really mind.

Cute graphic tee
I don't have a ton to say here (I mean, it's a t-shirt), but I really liked the fit. It was actually way thicker than I expected - it's better for transitional weather than a hot summer day.

Cute and short prairie girl situation
I loved this top but it definitely could have used an extra inch!! I wore it with the highest pants I could find to make it work. It was super comfortable and flattering, though I would have felt a lot better with just a bit more length.

Perfect Day Dress
I felt like I belonged in a yacht club in the best possible way. Super soft silk and cute pattern. I wish I sized down - it was too big up to top and made me look a little bulky in the midsection.

This is a short-sleeved sweatshirt, which surprised me. A little boxy but still cute and perfect for spring/summer transition.

Not entirely sure what this is but I loved it
I'm unclear if this is meant to workout in, but I definitely wore it to work and at least one happy hour :) I love the rainbow color pop and found it super flattering. As most people have cautioned, it is not a sweatshirt but rather a weird windbreaker material.

Cute sweatshirt
It's not that soft, but I liked it a lot. Perfect for a somewhat chilly spring day. It's a little wide and cropped, but I still found it flattering.

Oversized, slouchy cardigan
This was actually much less warm than I expected, but it worked well for LA "winter." It's oversized, slouchy and not exactly flattering. However, it's super comfortable and spruced up my otherwise boring quarantine wardrobe.

Tie dye sweatshirt of my dreams
This is not my first tie dye sweatshirt rodeo, and I can confidently say this is one of the best out there. It's not cropped and a bit boxy, but still relatively flattering. It's lightweight and super comfy, though not necessarily the softest. I basically lived in this during the rental period.

Best hoodie
Basically I have no interest in ever taking this off. Soft, loose fitting but not too boxy. Although the arms aren't lined I still feel reasonably warm.

Good but basic
It was a pretty basic gray sweater, good for lounging around in that weird time between Christmas and New Years. The stitching was nice and made it a bit more interesting. It was itchy, but I adjusted to it over time. Cut is generous, I definitely could have sized down more.

Cute sweatshirt
I liked this light sweatshirt. It had nice detailing at the sleeves which sort of elevated the look. The fabric is soft and not too heavy, so it worked well for LA "winter." The cut is a little boxy - it's a bit cropped but I didn't find it too short.

Cute if you size down enough
I went down two sizes and loved this. I was a little scared it would be tight in the arms, but this is truly oversized and not remotely snug anywhere. Super cute mini hearts and great for looking put together on work zooms.

Micro Hearts Poplin Shirt
kate spade new york
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 14

Good pandemic top
Not the most flattering on me, but perfect for a zoom work day. It definitely ran big, but the buttons are far apart and sort of gaped (which wasn't a big deal since I didn't actually see anyone). It's a lighter flannel that works for California "winter."

Celeste Plaid Peplum Top
Rails
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14

Cute flowy blouse
I liked this top - the subtle heart pattern was cute and not overwhelming. It's very flowy and ran a bit bigger than I expected. I think it looked better tucked in.

Heartbeat Smocked Top

Obsessed with this bomber
I absolutely love this shiny, reversible jacket. While I preferred the purple side, I was more than happy to get multiple wears by flipping it around a few times. It's fairly fitted - I would size up for a more oversized look. The pockets weren't especially functional, but I was glad they were there.

Lolita Bomber
FILA
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12

Love this sweatshirt dress
I could wear this everyday. It's actually a bit bigger (and longer) than I expected. It's super comfy and cozy but the shoulder detail makes it feel a bit fancier.

Printed Janine Dress
Rebecca Minkoff
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 12

Softest flannel
I loved this flannel - it is so soft and comfy. The sparkly threads were a nice touch - not too noticeable but gave it a nice pop on Zoom calls. I thought the fit was more relaxed than I expected. I have large shoulders/biceps and usually have to size up in any button downs, but nothing about this shirt was snug.

Black Plaid Hunter Top
Rails
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 12

Cute work top
I liked this top, but actually expected to like it more. I thought it ran pretty big and looked a bit frumpy. The sleeves are cool, and it looks professional on work zooms.

Ruched Sleeve Top
Fifteen Twenty

Usual Size: 12

Perfect for Zoom or IRL
I love this top. It's so well-made and easy to wear - no buttons, no zipper, no fuss. I'd say the fit is pretty true to size. Perfect for being comfortable at home and put together on Zoom.

Cute Fall Dress
I liked this one a lot. It's super comfortable and flowy. It's lined - would be too hot for summer but perfect for warmer fall days. I'd say it's a tad frumpy but I still found it flattering.

Perfect Fall Dress
This is one of my favorite rentals in a while. It's an absolutely perfect fall dress - comfortable for hanging out and WFH life but still felt put together. It's mostly loose and relaxed, though somehow very flattering. I found it snug at my biceps (story of my life), but more than enough room everywhere else.

Plaid Megan Swing Dress
Just Female
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38C
Cute elevated flannel
I liked this professional spin on the everyday flannel. It's a little fitted, but mostly true to size. I found it a tad snug at the biceps, but most things are snug at my biceps. I'm not sure I understand the point of the wrist ties and definitely could have done without them.

Sun Up To Sun Down Shirt
Sanctuary
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12

Light and airy top
I like this top for spring or a warmer fall day. It's flowy and very breathable, though it's a bit tight under the armpits. Pretty color and flattering cut.

Stuff and confusing
I liked this top but I'm not entirely sure what it is - a shirt? A coat? A dress? It is very stiff which made it more coat-like, but I still wore it as a shirt in transitional weather. I like the plaid and enjoyed wearing it, even though it wasn't especially comfortable or flattering.

Oversized Check Shirt
Scotch & Soda

Beautiful work or casual blouse
I absolutely loved this top. The material is so lush and barely wrinkles (an amazing feat considering my quarantine work set up is basically me lying in bed). Rag and Bone tends to run small on me, especially at the arms, but this was actually pretty baggy. Perfect for all day Zooms in transitional weather.

Fall loungewear
Nothing too special here, but this top is perfectly serviceable for fall lounging. It's a little heavy, but not too warm. The length worked well on me (not too short).

Pudding Stripe Bamboo Top

Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"

Best of the pajama trend
I've been all over the pajama shirt trend during "quar," and I think this one is the best of the bunch. It's pretty oversized but still flattering. Super festive with grandpa-style sleeves. I was worried it would be too short, but the length was fine.

Bayley Blouse
Joie
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38C
Perfect shimmering top
This is my favorite t-shirt, although it's not exactly t-shirt material (more of a light sweater). It's a super relaxed fit and not too short. It's much more glittery than it appears in the photo.

Striped Boyfriend Tee
Replica Los Angeles
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"

Perfect linen caftan
I'm obsess with this linen caftan (at least I think it's a caftan?) it's oversized and breezy, but the tie gives it shape. Wrinkles a bit but not too much. I will definitely wear this multiple times.

Painted Ikat Top
Natori
Size Worn: L-XL

Amazing sporty dress
This may be the single most flattering piece of clothing I have ever worn. You can literally do anything in this dress - it's super sporty and comfortable, but you can also dress it up and pretend it's not loungewear. It was a tad snug at my arms, but plenty of room everywhere else (arguably too loose at the waist).

Jacky Dress
BOGNER FIRE + ICE
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38C
Perfect zoom top
I absolutely love this shirt. There's no shortage of fabric, but the babydoll cut is super flattering. The cut is very generous, and I had plenty of room at the biceps/shoulders (almost everything is snug on my biceps). The fit was a bit weird at the chest though- it was a little tight and it sort of smashed my boobs.

Gingham Bralett Shirt
Marques' Almeida
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38C
Perfect shirt dress
I loved this one. It's sweatshirt material so super casual, but it can be dressed up a bit. The cut is super flattering - a little bulky around the pockets, but otherwise not too loose or tight. Great length and such a pretty color.
