LOVE LOVE LOVE
This was one of my favorite rentals of all time. I wore it 4 times and definitely would've kept it if it weren't so expensive! The colors are so vibrant and beautiful, and the pleats and extra fabric at the hip really made it swing when I walked. Only potential issue is the length: it hit mid-calf on me (5'7") and looked good in person but in pictures it looked tea-length and kind of awkward. Just something to keep in mind if you're shorter. Still worth renting though!

Cute but not for long torsos
I was hoping for a polished retro spring look, but this dress just didn't work for me. The elastic waistband hit way above my natural waist, although adding my own belt did help. Length was surprisingly not too short (I'm 5'7") but the stiff fabric kind of made the skirt feel ballooned out and too airy.

The tie is a nightmare!
First, the fabric is completely different than what it looks like in the picture. It's a very heavy cotton, which would be fine, but the thick fabric (and 6" wide ties!) makes it impossible to tie a cute bow. Since the ties are way too long to be tied in just a knot, you're forced to get creative. My boyfriend and I were both trying for 20 minutes to make it look remotely acceptable, and finally I just gave up and wrapped it around my body again and shoved it into some semblance of a knot. It looks ok in the picture but it's a lot more casual than it looks - I didn't get any compliments when I wore it out to a party so just keep that in mind if you're looking for a showstopper.

Very soft!
This vest is very soft and beautiful, but it was fairly boxy on me. I wish it were a bit more form-fitting and could be zipped up.

Love anything pink and sparkly
Length was very short on my long torso, and size was tight even though I went 2 sizes up!

So many compliments!
I loved this top and received so many compliments from strangers! I only wish it came in different colors, since I don't love how I look in this mustard yellow.

Too short
Love the neck and soft yarn, but overall this sweater wasn't for me. It was way too short, and the sleeves are very wide.

Gorgeous lace
Gorgeous blush lace top that's fitted at the top and flowy around the waist. The lace is a little over worn and I had to steam it to get the neck to stand up like it's supposed to, but it still flopped over. Still worth renting though!

Beautiful top, but arms are short
Really cute top, but I found the sleeves to be too short (and you can't roll them up.) Also it was a bit over worn, and the shoulders no longer stand up like in some reviewers' photos.

Great holiday dress but makes you look wider in the hips
Like other reviewers said, the pleats on this dress start at the widest part of your hips. I was hoping that this would actually work on my long torso, but instead it just made my torso look even longer and my bottom half even wider. Totally baffled as to why the designer wouldn't have just raised the pleats about 3 inches - it would've been amazing dress otherwise.

Thick material but too short
The fabric is a much heavier weight than I expected, so it seems like this is a really high quality piece. It's not itchy at all, and the leopard spots are actually a light pink color. Only problem is that it was way too short for me (5'7", long torso) even with high-waisted jeans.

Shoulders were mismatched, couldn't wear
This top looks beautiful on the model but in real life, the shoulders are droopy and don't even droop in the same way. Rented for a party I was hosting but ended up changing before the guests arrived.

Gorgeous coat with beautiful, super soft faux fur. Didn't end up wearing it but it would be perfect for a special occasion!

Cute casual dress
Sleeves were a little long, and they don't roll up well or stay up when pushed. Other than that, everything fit as expected. Nothing super special but a good rental for a dinner out with family.

Not cozy.
Fit was boxy on me (5'7" with a long torso) and generally unflattering. The knit was very heavy and kind of stiff. Returned without wearing.

Beautiful but slightly boxy
The fit was slightly boxy, a little bit too short for my long torso, and a bit tight in the arms, but overall it was such a beautiful top that none of that mattered!

Not cute... boxy and ill-fitting
The body of this top is sweatshirt material, and it fits like a slightly oversized, boxy sweatshirt - which really doesn't make sense with lace sleeves. On top of that, the sleeves are also too big/long, and the elastic at the wrists just highlights that. Both materials are uncomfortable too. Overall this one was just a fail for me - I returned it immediately after trying it on.

Cute but slightly itchy
I really liked this top, but as other reviewers said, it's kind of itchy. It fit me perfectly, though, and I got lots of compliments! It made me feel really put-together, even with jeans!

Cozy, warm, and not itchy!
I love this sweater! It kept me really warm (almost too hot when inside, though) and was super cozy without being itchy. It's just slightly oversized and the neck can fold down or stand on its own. The perfect winter piece!

Lovely but slightly cropped
This is a gorgeous, high quality top that's super flattering. It was a tiny bit too short for my long torso but luckily it looks great with high-waisted jeans.

Perfect casual dress!
I adore this piece so much that I'm considering buying it. The shirt dress cut is flattering on its own but the slightly flared sleeves and husky dog print make it extra adorable. Perfect length for my 5'7" frame.

Fur is bright green!
This is a beautiful coat that's much softer than it looks (not itchy at all) and fits true to size; however, the faux fur collar looks brown in pictures but is in fact bright green – especially under the fluorescent lights in my office! The tags were attached when I received it so the fur looked brand new of course, but I get the impression that it may start to mat and clump after a few wears. Overall a great rental though!

Beautiful and comfortable!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous - I got so many compliments from total strangers! It's also incredibly comfortable, and it's forgiving enough that I didn't even have to wear spanx. It was a little poofier than I expected due to a fair amount of tulle underneath, but the color and fabric make it more sophisticated than princessy. Truly the perfect dress!

Weird chest area
This technically fit me everywhere else, but my boobs looked so weird that it was a dealbreaker. The chest basically looked like I was wearing a bra that was 2 sizes too small (even without actually having a bra on) because I was spilling out and over the front of it and it was definitely not cute. I'd recommend sizing up if you have any cleavage at all, and maybe altogether avoiding this dress if you're bigger than a D cup. Otherwise really cute though! The length was perfect (5'7" in 3 inch heels) and the color is gorgeous.
