Odd Sizing
These jeans were so cute and surprisingly not too short on my 5'9" frame. However, I did not end up wearing them because the seat of the pants felt too short for the rise. I'd like to try them up a size to see if it fixes the wedgie look.

Cute and Fun
This was such a delightfully whimsical shirt. I wish the cut was a bit more flattering--it's very boxy with a drop shoulder. But I'd still rent again.

I loved this skirt. It's just the right length and volume. Fun and feminine and perfect for spring. I am sad to part with it.

Perfect for Spring
I loved this jacket. The cut, color, and fabric are perfect. It's tailored and feminine without looking too matronly. I sized up to a 6 and was glad I did, as the shoulders are a bit narrow.

Cute and on trend
This fit true to size. It had just enough room in the arms and around the bust to not feel tight, but still looked tailored. I paired it with an a-ling skirt and received many compliments.

Adorable
This jacket was perfect. It's such a fun, unique cut. The fabric is just the right weight to pull it off. I got compliments every time I wore it, which was often. I was heartbroken when I saw the price tag. I wish I could own it!

Beautiful, Versatile Jacket
I adored this jacket. It's sophisticated but fun with the stitching. I wore it to the office, on a date, out to dinner with friends. It's unlined and a tad itchy, but nothing a t-shirt cannot solve. I sized up to a M for a boxier fit and to make sure I could close it without gaping.

Size Worn: M

Cute, But Not My Favorite Colorway
This is a great sweater jacket. I previously rented the cream version of this style with the burgundy trim. I liked that colorway better, but still really enjoyed the cut and unique buttons on this striped version.

Runs Small, Short Arms
This is a nice looking sweater, but I unfortunately did not wear because it ran quite small and short. Even though I sized up to a M, I still found the arms to be tight and incredibly short.

Size Worn: M

Very Thin
I had high hopes for this blazer, but it was a disappointment. The fabric is very thin and lacks structure.

Child Sized
I don't know if there was a cleaning mishap that shrunk the sweater I received, or if that is how it was intended to be. The sweater was incredibly cropped and tight. It looked like a child's small.

Well Made But Not Flattering
I really wanted to like this, but I found the shape to be too odd.

Not a Fan
I really wanted to like this sweater, but I found it far too fussy. The fabric is incredibly thick. The V is cut very low. No matter how I pinned or taped it, I just could not find a way to wear it that felt flattering and secure.

A Classic
I loved this lady jacket so much. The shape is reminiscent of a bomber jacket, but the details (covered buttons, cording) really elevate it. It was an absolute staple on my recent trip to Europe. Thrown over a sweater or long sleeve, it instantly made me look put together and classy, with enough protection from the wind to forgo a coat. I'll definitely rent again.

Great Quality, Cropped
This was a great jacket that felt high quality. My only complaint is that it was a bit more cropped than I'd prefer on my 5'9" frame.

Flattering Shape
This dress was lovely--heavy fabric that felt luxurious and hung beautifully. The cut of the skirt is fun and very flattering. I ultimately didn't have an occasion to wear the dress, but would consider renting again.

Wish I Could Own
This dress is just darling. It has a vintage feel with the longer skirt and brocade fabric, but still feels modern and elegant with the cut. I was so sad to send this back! As for sizing, definitely follow other reviewers' advice and size up. I would not have been able to zip the top in my usual size.

Fun and Bold
This is not a dress I would have bought for myself, but it was fun to wear for the day. The pattern is bold in the perfect fall palette with a fun tie waist detail and voluminous sleeves. I sized up from an XS to a S, as usual in Farm Rio.

I loved this skirt so much. The colors, the fabric, the length, the cut. It was an easy throw and go outfit that made me feel feminine and chic. I wish it wasn't so expensive, or I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Not For Me
I wanted to love this one, but I could not find a way to style it that didn't look silly. Too much fabric.

Nothing Special
I have several Hill House styles that I love. This is not one of them. The fabric was not my favorite, and the cut did nothing for me.

A No Brainer
I loved this sweater. It arrived new with tags. The combo of navy and black made it easy to style, and the knit was the perfect blend of comfortable and structured. I'm usually a 2, but sized up to a medium for a boxier fit and to ensure no pulling on the chest. Loved it!

Underwhelmed
I wanted to like this dress, but it just did nothing for me. It should be an effortless look. But instead, it was very fussy with the ties and buttons and rolled sleeves and fabric that required a lot of steaming to make passable.

Giving Hallmark Teacher Vibes
This dress was cute and fun. Nothing to write home about, but it was a nice cut and pretty pattern. The elastic on the arms was a bit tight. It was still comfortable to wear for a day at the office, though. All in all a solid rental.

A Staple
I loved this dress. It looked so chic, while feeling like pajamas. Even better, it doesn't wrinkle and packs relatively flat, making it ideal for work travel. I wish it wasn't so expensive, or I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

A Fun Twist on a Classic
I loved having this in my closet. It's such a fun twist on a classic blazer. The cut and length make every outfit instantly more chic. It was almost perfect--but I found it to be weirdly tight across the back. If not for that quirk, I would have considered buying for sure.

Easy Preppy Look
I wore this several times because it was so easy to throw on. I found the wide cut on the shoulders to be a bit unflattering. I wouldn't buy it to own, but as a rental, I enjoyed having it in my closet for a few weeks.

Pretty, Not Perfect
I've been waiting to find an occasion for this dress. It is gorgeous in person. That said, the other reviewers are correct about sizing down. I am usually a 2-4, but a 0 fit perfectly. The reviewers are also correct about needing boob tape. It is essential here.

Cute, But Clingy
I really wanted to love this skirt. The colors and fabric are great. But it is extremely thin, unlined fabric. I would not recommend this skirt for cooler temps. It became incredibly clingy, to the point where the static made it difficult to walk because the fabric was bunching together between my legs. A real shame because the color palette is perfect for winter!

This dress was the surprise favorite of my shipment. It fit perfectly with the adjustable waist, and just felt great on. The darker floral worked for early spring, but I imagine would be even better for fall. I cannot wait to rent again.

Perfect for a Brunch Event
This was my second try renting this dress, with much better success. You absolutely must size down at least one size. Once I made that change, the dress was just darling. Flattering with a fun print. It's like nothing else, in the best way. I got so many compliments!

Teeny Tiny
I listened to other reviews and sized up to a M. It was still too small. Tight in the arms and awkward looking. You need to size up at least two sizes. It was also very cropped. on me (5'9"), so even sizing up, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone on the taller side.

Cute, But Voluminous
The perfect sweater to rent, not buy. Super cute, lots of compliments, but not the most flattering, The neck is high, and the balloons sleeves start low (below the shoulders) giving it an odd shape. It was super fun to wear, but not something I need in my permanent closet.

Effortlessly Chic
I loved this sweater so much that I debated purchasing it. I found myself reaching for it over and over again because it was comfortable yet looked stylish. I did size up so that I could wear it closed without any pulling around the buttons.

Stunning colors, but a fussy slip and very long
The colors on this skirt are fabulous. I got nonstop compliments whenever I wore it. I would have bought it, if not for the fussy slip. It tended to ride up or bunch in odd places, which you could see through the translucent outer layer. It also was longer than expected (ankle length), which I liked given my height, but may not be great for petites.

AMAZING and Perfect for Taller Girls
This dress was perfect for a black tie summer wedding. The color is stunning, and it hung beautifully. It is long, but that's a plus for me. I'm 5'9" and wore 3" heels. It fell just above the floor. There is a corset closure at the waist, so the fit is very adjustable. You will need dress tape for the top, but that wasn't a problem. The fabric adhered to the tape without any issue and stayed in place all night, even when dancing.
