Striking print and nice material
Love this blouse! Although the print comes across as chili peppers on zoom, it is hearts with a keyhole. It was cute and comfortable, would totally rent again.

Short torso and loooong sleeves
I liked the colors and design of this sweater as more interesting than the plain sweaters I wear most days now. The dark color is black not navy. It was fairly itchy to me, and the torso was super short while the sleeves were very long. I had to roll them up twice so they wouldn't cover my hands. But, that didn't look too weird. It was fine but probably wouldn't rent again.

Flowers + ruffles + sheer
The fabric and print with the ruffles elevate this blouse and make it special. I wore a cami as the whole shirt is very sheer. The bottom and top buttons kept coming undone even though it wasn't at all tight. I found the cuffs to be pretty long and had to tuck them under to do anything except work at my desk. Overall, it's cute and a nice floral for winter.

Gorgeous for Hawaiian wedding
This beautiful grayish blue was perfect. The material was hot, but did not show any sweat through! Flattering sleeves and even though I forgot my spanx, it wasn't too tight on my tummy. I needed to pin the neckline as it's fairly low cut. I was overall really happy with this dress!

No room for boobs :(
It's ok, except there was literally no space at all in the chest. It looked very strange, fitting everywhere else but completely flattening my chest.

Christmas at home!
Still wanted to dress up, and this was really nice! Beautiful bright red/pink, nice fit, pockets!! The padded shoulders were a little much, since I already have broad shoulders. If I could take out the shoulder pads, it would be perfect.

Festive and warm but itchy
This sweater was pretty itchy for me. The pattern was cute enough to make up for it, and it was quite warm. This would be perfect as an outer layer over a long sleeve top.

Nice heavy weight sweater!
I love the dusty pink color and the weight of the sweater; it felt very cozy and warm. The sleeves are super long, but otherwise this was great!

Very soft and very tiny
As others have said, there seem to be a few of these that have gotten shrunk that for some reason they haven’t pulled from circulation. This obviously should not fit like this if you look at the model photo (I’m wearing a 2X in this picture). I will say it’s very soft and comfortable, so if you can manage to get one that’s not shrunk, it’s a nice sweater.

A little short but otherwise great
It's a thick, stretchy fabric, and the polka dots are fuzzy. The back zipper was a little stubborn. Definitely would be great with high waisted jeans but was still ok on me with regular jeans. Cute for zooms without screaming "HOLIDAYS!!!"

So comfortable and glam for a virtual bridal shower!
I could have stayed in this for the rest of the day! It's easy to get on, fit great, and the liner is so soft, the sequins aren't scratchy at all. It looked great on Zoom, but I would love to rent this again for a party someday.

Cute dress for fall
I loved the v neck that wasn't too low, the elastic wristbands, and the overall pattern and colors. There are shimmer threads that dress up the otherwise casual vibe. I wish it were a little bit longer, but that's just me. This was perfect for fall without being too warm.

Love this sweater!
The thickness, length, and feel of this sweater is perfect. It was ever so slightly itchy but otherwise was great for working from home and running errands. The collar lies just right without having to mess with it. Love it!

Cute but a little weird fit
A cute basic tank top, with a silky fabric that makes it dressy. The keyhole wasn't too low for me. The fit was loose all around, with a strangely tight bottom hem with no stretch. There is a hook closure on the back of the neck that I needed help with. Overall a nice top, but you might need to size up or down depending on your shape. The pattern is tiny green, pink and white leaves.

Ties are a little much - otherwise love it!
There is a placket under the front buttons so there's no worries about gapping. The material is comfortable, light and fluid and a nice print for Zooms. Great for work from home! The ties do make it pretty impossible to do anything other than sit at a computer but other than that I love the top.

Comfy and casual
The pattern on the front makes this a little more interesting and I love the oatmeal color with flecks of gray/blue. This was perfect for work from home, though the holes are big enough that I'd want a tank top underneath to wear to the office. I also found the sleeves to be long, but the cuffs stayed put rolled up.

Nice basic, sheer blouse
I wore this to work and dinner (outside). The sleeves are pretty long and I wish it weren't so sheer but otherwise a nice blouse. The way the fabric drapes is really nice. It may be a little short if you have a long torso.

Athletic material dress
Although I wore this to work, the athletic "tech" like material makes this really versatile. It's light and not drapey or swingy. The zipper makes it super easy to get in and out of. I felt the arm seams were tight, but otherwise it ran large especially in the waist for me.

Another great bow blouse
The houndstooth is a very pretty raspberry red/pink. I was afraid the pattern would be too loud, but it's small enough that it's fine. A nice work blouse; I tucked it into black paper bag pants.

Cute, professional, easy to wear
This was just a perfect top for work. The shoulders have a slight puff that's a cute detail, and the fabric feels great and flows beautifully. The dots are more beige than white.

Soft and light, lots of compliments!
This fit great, but the waistband has no stretch. There are two buttons at the back of the neck that were a little difficult to do alone. Otherwise this is such a cute dress, and got lots of compliments at work. I'm 5' 6" so it was a little longer on me than I'd like, but still looked ok. I can see this dress working pretty much any time of year!

Warm! Cute but doesn't do much for your shape
This was perfect for a day of outdoor winetasting. It's very thick and warm, but made me look a lot bigger than I am. A nice piece to substitute for a coat.

Cutout too low for me - otherwise love it!
The cutout just hit way too low for me, so I wore a cami. It's a light, sort of satin fabric, and the tie wasn't too much. I would have liked it to be a little longer, but overall a nice blouse for work.

Light flowing top, perfect for fall
The small orange and yellow flowers are perfect for fall, and it’s a nice light fabric without being sheer. I found the wrists to be pretty tight relative to the rest of the top. This was perfect for the pumpkin patch!

Tons of compliments, runs large
I got lots of compliments at work on this top. It is very long, mid thigh in the front, so I tucked it into black paper bag pants. There is an extra flap of fabric covering the buttons so I probably could have worn the 12, but was afraid of buttons gapping. The 14 was fairly large overall, but not unflattering. Beautiful print and satin fabric!

Loved everything except the low cut!
A beautiful fall floral, the draping is flattering and the material is comfortable. I just wish the V neck weren't so low, but for work, there was no way I wanted to go without a cami under. I really liked this top, and the blousey loose fit would look good with a pencil skirt or slim dress pants.

Satiny fabric, runs big
This top is pretty long, and the large fit great, even though I'm usually a 1x in this brand. It has a pretty satin sheen which makes it feel more special. It would be great tucked in under a blazer or with a tan or brown leather jacket for fall.

Lovely light & sheer
Other than being a bit sheer for me, this top was everything I wanted! The sleeve shape is beautiful and flattering, and the pattern isn't too cutesy for a floral. I just wore it with jeans, but it is formal enough to be tucked in with a skirt for a more polished look. Will have to rent again in the spring!

Perfect summer top
I loved everything about this! Fit was nice and loose, the v wasn't too low (although the bow covers it if you tie it like that anyway), and the print was perfect with white jeans. It comes with a separate navy cami to go under it.

Cute true wrap dress
The skirt was a little full for a work outfit for me. The skirt is lined with a thicker fabric, which keeps the dress from flying open most of the time. It's a true wrap, so I needed a safety pin to make the v front not too open. The 16 was a little large, so I'd say it fits true to size.

Pretty and not see through!
Photo by my 4 year old. The sleeves are sheer but there is a white lining on the bodice so the rest of the top isn't see through. My first time with this designer so I wasn't sure on sizing; the 16 was fine and I think the 14 would have worked. Very light and loose top, and is cute buttoned up or open!

Drapey fabric and fun open back!
I loved this loose flowing top. The material is heavier than I thought, which makes it feel higher quality without being too much for summer. The open back is fun, but might need a blazer or cardigan to make it work appropriate. This is so pretty and versatile, fit great and wasn't see through, like so many light colored tops.

Branched out and glad I did!
This isn't my usual style but I liked it a lot! Comfortable, cool, perfect with white jeans or shorts for a more casual look. There is definitely some space between the buttons, so I wore a cami underneath. I went up a size from my usual.

Striking print and sturdy material
I wore this for an outdoor company lunch at the country club. I would give it 5 stars but the drop waist isn't as flattering on the tummy as a true fit and flare. Otherwise a great dress!

love this silhouette!
Like the other Derek Lam floral dress, this fit just perfectly and was a beautiful, light dress for summer. It's not lined, but the fabric is thick enough that it wasn't a problem. I wish this came in more colors and prints, I just love this dress!

Will work -with pins- for curvy ladies
I'm curvy, and this fit fine in the shoulders and below the waist, but across the bust and stomach this was really gappy between the buttons. It took 3 large safety pins, but once it was pinned it was fine. I have short legs and this was even on the short side for me. Was work appropriate, but barely. The flare sleeves and skirt ruffle are very flattering. Maybe I'll rent again in an 18?

Was just too much for summer
The fabric was thick and stretchy; with the ruffle it just was too much weight and material for summertime. I'm curvy and tried my usual size 14, but wanted it to fit more snug overall, so I would say it runs a little large. I would try this again in cooler weather and for the right occasion.

Nice pattern, cheap material
I definitely could've worn the XL. The material is thin and the elastic waistband makes it lower quality than it looks. It is easy to dress up or down. I wore it with a white tshirt and black low tops, but it could go with a nicer top and heels.
