The most comfortable!
This dress is so colorful and pretty! You will definitely get tons of compliments. The colors and print are just lovely for summer and spring. Size way, way down. I rented the same dress, different print, a size bigger previously and it's still pretty billowy. That said the way it moves, side slits, and overall cut make it flattering even if it's too big. Fabric is very sheer - I wore nude spandex shorts and a nude bodysuit underneath. It doesn't stretch but again, it runs big. This would be amazing for an outdoor event because of how it moves or looks if there's a breeze. A little low cut so keep that in mind. Loved that it can be dressed up or down and literally feels like wearing your nightgown to work. A++, highly recommend!

Beautiful Piece
This is gorgeous, but small and uncomfortable. The neck drove me crazy. It was very hot, heavy, and itchy. Beautifully made, though.

Amazing
I got more compliments on this than anything else I've ever rented. Super flattering, comfy, and stretchy. Runs a bit large but I think the loose fit looks cute. You can also style it a million ways.

Super cute and comfy
This definitely ran a hair large, so if you're on the cusp of two sizes I'd suggest leaning toward the smaller one. I got a lot of compliments of this and it could not have been more comfortable. I paired it with a pair of white and tan Kate Spade wedges and think it made a great spring day party look. I could see myself wearing this to work or dressing it up for a date night. The waistband is elastic and the hips are CG very wide. It's also loose on top and a little bit low cut, so a bralette is an easy way to cover up a little if it's cut lower than you're comfortable with.

Super cute!
I got tons of compliments on this. It runs a little small, so it wasn't very stretchy. This made it difficult to roll up the sleeves. The detailing/pearls are also huge, so keep that in mind when renting - it's a little less dainty than it appears. Either way, a good rental and would definitely wear again. Perfect for a casual work look.

So cute!
I loved this. The button detail was absolutely adorable and reminded me of a grownup take on a sailor dress. The quality was awesome; thick, stretchy fabric. I think it runs true to size but I'm in between and didn't want to risk going down, so it was a little big. The scalloping is the perfect detail when combined with the buttons, and it's ridiculously comfortable. It's very hard to zip on your own, so be ready to get creative if you live on your own. It's navy but VERY dark - even under fluorescent office lights it looked black. For some reason this was prone to collecting dust and fuzzies from everything I walked near. I also noticed it gets staticky at the hem/around your knees where your legs meet, so keep that in mind if you'll be doing a lot of walking. Favorite part - never had to tug at it once. Stayed situated all day and didn't surprise me with a length change when I stood.

Beautiful
This was a beautiful dress but sadly too long for me. The fabric is lovely, as is the shade. A little tight in the bodice.

Gorgeous Fabric, Weird Cut
I got this as something to wear for work or the weekend but sadly wasn't able to wear it due to the sizing. This is cut on the smaller side, and is particularly narrow in the hips and bust. These are two areas where I am widest, and the dress sadly didn't fit. It was also a bit shorter than I expected. With that said, the dress itself was beautiful, with really interesting and detailed darting in the skirt. The finish is metallic and so eye-catching; the photos don't do it justice. The fabric is thick and luxurious, but has no stretch. The quality was wonderful and it was a really unique, lovely looking dress. I would definitely recommend for someone with a more straight frame or who's more petite in the hips and chest. Gorgeous piece!

Stunning
This bag was absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully made. For its size, it had very little storage room and was super narrow. I wasn't able to fit a ton in there - to be fair, I'm used to carrying a lot. I favor a bigger bag so it might be plenty of space for someone else. It had both a long buckle crossbody strap and two handles. The strap was slightly creased in some places, so I carried it in the crook of my arm with the two handles. There was some wear showing unevenly in the seams in one side, but I don't think it was noticeable to anyone. It doesn't zip closed; it had a tiny leather strap with a gold hook and another with a small gold clip - you pulled them together and then buckled closed. I kept worried about losing things/have them fall out/get stolen. I also had to dig around in in a lot to find things because it was so narrow. Everything was kind of packed in. I rented it with Unlimited and would've loved to wear it for a few weeks, but it is such lightly colored leather that I was terrified of staining it. I was worried about it getting dirty or dented during my NYC commute. In the future, I would use it as a weekend bag. Kate Spade bags are always beautiful and this was no exception. I also got more compliments than I could have imagined.

Loved For A Million Reasons, Sadly Would NOT Recommend
This dress is so beautiful, and the details in person can't be done justice by photos. It's both gold and silver blended to make a champagne shade with some shine, as there is a little bit of a metallic finish. You can do gold or silver jewelry and it's detailed and has some sparkle, but you can still add to it with accessories without it being too much. The back is very low and very open. I read other reviews where the renters needed double sided tape, but it was constructed really well, so it laid flush against my skin and didn't gap, even when I sat. My breasts are a full-C and you can't wear anything but a stick-on bra with this, which I was concerned about but wasn't an issue. It makes you very aware of your posture but in a great way - to keep the back looking its best you naturally push your shoulders back and stand tall. Truly, it unintentionally adds poise. It fabric was great, thick but not uncomfortable and stretchy. Perfect for a dress where you can't support your breasts the way you normally would. It held me in nicely and I could've worn the smaller size but for the length. I would NOT recommend this for a wedding or any event where you're dancing, walking, or standing and sitting a lot. It is extremely short, but isn't a problem when you're moving except that you have to be constantly aware of it. I spent the entire night pulling it down and fidgeting with it unfortunately. The absolute worst was sitting - I had to keep a dinner napkin over the hem because it rode up so high when you were seated. It was a bit itchy around the underarms but because of the scalloped lace trim but nothing I couldn't deal with.

Minimal fabric
I knew this dress would be revealing, but it's literally just what you see - it's just like a tuxedo jacket, except it's entirely held together by two snaps. It runs short, so I'd say I was a bit too curvy for this one, plus the hook snap was bent so it was impossible to keep closed and had to be swapped at the last minute.

Beautiful and comfortable
These were beautiful and comfortable. Sometimes this style of earring is so heavy or clunky, but these were delicate and elegant. They added the perfect extra touch to my dress.
