Cute sweater for spring
Fit true/ slightly large. Good cute neutral sweater for spring, especially if you live somewhere that's still cold in March/ April, but you want to look a little "springy-er"

Love this dress. Great transitional piece. Falls beautifully. The pattern is not overwhelming.

Cute & comfortable
These are cute and comfortable. I received compliments when wearing them. The frayed hem and color make them lean more causal. They did stretch out a bit; I could've possibly sized down.

Perfect summer dress
Fit true to size. This dress is forgiving, without being frumpy. It can be dressed up or down, and is perfect for hot summer days. Wish I would have purchased it! It's a summer staple.

Runs small
Pretty print, but runs small. Didn’t wear it. Rented Small, but could’ve worn Medium. Despite the elasticized bodice, the neckline and armholes were surprisingly restrictive. The print was nice, but no wow factor. The bottom does pouf out. Would’ve worn this as a a casual summer day dress if I’d had a larger size.

Just OK
This sweater looks cuter in the photo than in real life. It is cropped, which doesn't work well for my body. I wore it with high-waisted jeans, but overall thought it was just ok.

Classic dress with a pop
This dress is gorgeous. The pattern and texture are visually interesting, the pop of blue is perfect, the shape is classic and sophisticated without being stuffy, the fabric is thick enough to smooth/ give structure, but completely comfortable and forgiving. Work appropriate but also could work for date night, etc. I'm 5'4", 128 lbs, 34-27-37. I've had 3 kids and am petite on top, but am short-waisted and carry weight in my stomach. The waistline hit at the perfect spot, and the skirt floated over my tummy. I tried the Small but it was extremely tight in the arms, and a bit tight thru out. I could've made Small work with shapewear. The Medium felt slightly too big, but didn't *look* too big. I wore this to a daytime charity lunch and received many compliments! I will be renting this dress again!

Fun, Flattering, but SHORT!
Loved the neckline, style, and fabric (just enough stretch to make it soft and comfy). But this dress was WAY too short for a dinner event at the country club. I will rent this again for a girls' trip!

Gorgeous dress. Meant for long & lean.
I rented this dress to wear to a dinner, but it didn't work for me. I should've listened to the reviews that stated it is best suited for those with minimal curves. Beautiful color, material, and detail. I am 5'4" 125ish lbs 34/27/37, have had 3 children, and carry my weight in my stomach. This dress fit perfectly in the bust (love the high neck scallop detail) but was tight and unflattering in the midsection. The fabric has no give. I think size 6 would've gaped up top on me.

Classic and Elegant for Black Tie
I rented the 2R and 4R, and wore the 2R. My measurements are 32/ 26/ 36, and I've had 2 kids, so my midsection is soft. This dress was elegant and beautiful, and was fitted in a flattering way to create some curves. The only con was that the dress was ~4" too long, even though I wore 3" heels.

Gorgeous, but too tight
I rented this dress for a black tie gala, and ordered a 2R and 4R based on reviews given by women with similar measurements to me. The 2R was way too small. The 4R was extremely tight in the waist, and there is no give at all to the material. I got it zipped eventually, but breathing was tough given how tight it was, and eating would've been out of the question. Because the waist was so tight, it made the skirt extra poufy, which I was not expecting. At the same time, the bust was noticeably loose. The length would have been perfect for 2-3 inch heels. So, this was just not a good style for me - because even though a 6R would have fit in the waist, the bust would have been huge. One disclaimer - I did recently have a 2nd baby, and just stopped breastfeeding. So while I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight, my body is still in a weird in-between stage. In the end, I returned both sizes and was overnighted a replacement dress. Customer service was excellent.

Beautiful, classy, comfortable
I rented this gown for a very formal gala honoring our local hospital. It arrived on time and in great condition. There were a few stray threads that I clipped off. Based on reviews, I rented size 2R and 0R as my backup. I am 5'4"...118lbs...34A. I wore the 2R. I recently had a baby and carry my extra weight in my stomach. The waistline and draping helped hide my baby belly, though I felt there was a slight belly bulge/ tightness after eating - I think I would order a 4R as backup next time for just a little more room/ comfort. The 2R fit perfectly on top and I was able to wear a normal bra. I added a safety pin so that the neckline was not as plunging, because I knew I would see professional colleagues at the event. I wore 2.5" heels and the hemline just grazed the ground - no tripping at all, and I was easily able to dance all night! My only complaint: the sequins rubbed against the underside/ back of my arms, and by the end of the night they were really irritated.
