Summertime winner
Have tried many pairs of pleated linen shorts and these are a winner. Not too much fabric (and I always feel like pleats are too much!), great length, beautiful vibrant color.

Cute but not very practical
I was so excited to finally find a cute nursing dress! While I liked how this fit I did not end up wearing it like I planned because I didn’t like nursing in it. The zipper access is clever but I also found to be cumbersome and uncomfortable.

Glam!
I wasn’t sure about this after reading the other reviews but love this dress and how it fits. Have rented for two weddings now - including when I was two months postpartum. Fabric is great and fit is clingy without being unforgiving.

Fun and flirty
Loved this dress - fun to wear frills and florals without feeling like the fabric made me look bigger. I will say this fits small in the bust.

Green rather than blue
When I ordered this top I didn't realize the stripes were more of a sea or mint green than blue. Wasn't what I was expecting so I didn't end up wearing.

Comfy but runs large for early pregnancy
Was very excited about these now that my normal jeans don't fit! They're comfy but stretch out over time and probably run large - at least for early pregnancy. I'm very consistently a 27 but at 14 weeks (second baby) these were too baggy. Will size down if I rent again soon.

Beautiful cozy sweater
Great color on this slightly oversized sweater! I liked the neckline too. Will probably rent again.

Sleeves too long but fabric and color good!
The sleeves on this were long on me, so the placement of the slits in the elbows was a bit off. Besides that, I did like the color and fabric. The length was good on me too - but this may be a bit short on people with longer torsos. Would be ok with high rise jeans though.

Great fit - except in the chest
I was really excited about this, and the fit of the dress was perfect when I initially put it on. However, once I tied the little fabric bow in the front it became unwearable! The placement of the extra fabric sat right on top of my nipples and looked unbelievably strange. Sadly, I put the dress right back into the bag and sent it back - just couldn't bring myself to wear this one.

Will be a repeat!
I can't wait to rent this dress again. It's stunning in person and gives the right balance of formality and sexiness. I wore it to a charity gala and got lots of compliments... the fit was perfection.

Beautiful dress for a spring wedding!
I loved wearing this dress to a black tie optional spring wedding. It was SO much fun to dance in and I found the length perfect for 3.5"-4" wedges. The size 4 was just slightly too tight in the hips for me to wear comfortably. Like other renters, I also had to use a safety pin to provide some more cleavage coverage, but once I took care of that the fit was great. (Without the pin the front was very low and gaped to show my bra.) One more thing that potential renters should know: I wasn't in love with the extra strap on the left arm, but I easily tucked that into the side of my dress and it wasn't an issue at all.

Fun & comfy!
I love this skirt and wore it for a fun night out in Vegas. The skirt is well constructed and comfortable, which isn't always the case with sequined items. Will probably rent again in the future!

Felt like a celeb!
I wore this to a December wedding and got so many compliments. One thing to note is that the slit isn't as prominent as it looks in the pics on the model here. Because of the pleating in the skirt, the slit is a bit more hidden than I had expected. I have a larger chest (D cup) and was worried that the top would be too tight, but it was fine. A little tight under my arm (on the side with the strap), but it was fine. The length was also perfect! Love, love, love this dress. I hope I have the opportunity to wear it again sometime!

Step up the glam!
These earrings added a huge dose of glam to my outfit. They were bigger than I expected, but I was so happy to feel how light they were.

So flattering!
I felt like a bombshell in this dress. The sleeves were definitely tighter on me than on this model. I also didn't really notice the boatneck before I tried it on myself. But the color is beautiful and the dress fit me like a glove. Perfect for the Hamptons wedding where I wore it!

Beautiful, rich color!
The picture of this dress online doesn't come close to doing the dress justice. The color is more of a deep teal green. It was absolutely gorgeous. I was also worried about how it will fit on my waist with the pleating, but it fit perfectly. The dress was conservative, yet comfortable and fun. Great for a fall wedding or other formal event.
