So versatile
Loved this jacket. Incredibly versatile and appropriate for work, a date, etc. depending on how you style. The mix of browns, blues, and blacks gives you a ton of flexibility. I dressed it up and down multiple times.

Perfect for work
As a very heavy woman, I was nervous that this dress did not have any zippers. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the generous and flattering cut of this design. The material is forgiving while the print lens a flexibility to fall/winter work dressing irrespective of the temperature. This is the perfect dress for a warmer fall/winter day no matter where you live.

Cute but awkward
This is one of those items where the idea of it is cuter than what you can execute, or at least what I can execute. The material is nice and it's a lovely medium white sweater. That's great for the winter months. However, it is nearly impossible to get the neck to tie in a flattering way or in a way that looks even remotely like the stock photo. Also, as a very heavy woman, the fit was not the most flattering on me. It wasn't unflattering, but it certainly could have been better. I think someone who carries less weight in their mid section would likely find the fit to be better as they would not need to size so large in order to get it to fit. That's really why the sleeves ended up so long on me.

Perfect for casual Friday
Great as a elevated daytime basic. I wore this on a casual Friday to the office. The ribbed texture gives it a little bit more sophistication and the slit is suitably conservative for an office. Fabric is that enough that the dress would work year-round. I love this as a fall transitional piece.

A little fancy
The image made it look as though only the cross section was shiny but it's really the entire dress. The fabric doesn't have much stretch and I was concerned it wouldn't fit. Fabric does get staticky and rides up a bit. I felt like the drape rode up quite a bit but I felt like I looked spectacular. It was just a smidge dressy for the work day.

Great transitional skirt. Beautiful fall fabric but lightweight, smooth fabric. Love that it's black and brown - versatile! It is a true wrap skirt so maybe not best for windy days!

Super stretchy & comfy
I rented these for work event and Found them be incredibly comfortable for a day of conferences. The pants have a great deal of stretch them but maintain their shape throughout the day. They did wrinkle a little bit but nothing a quick steam couldn't get out.

Perfect for fall
Perfect suit for fall! The pants are unlined and totally reasonable on unexpectedly warm fall days. The jacket is a bit boxier of a cut but not overly so. All in all, I highly recommend.

Runs smaller than other black halo
I got this dress NWT which is always super exciting. It runs a bit smaller than other Black Halo dresses I've rented. Generally a 10 is generously comfortable but this fit more like an 8. Dress is fully lined. Outer material is almost like a thin scuba. Love the pattern. Great spring colors. Perfect for a conservative work place. Sleeves are not terribly tight (I have huge arms). Pattern is great camouflage for problem areas.

Magic! These jeans are MAGIC
I am an absolute believer and convert to Good American. These jeans are Everything they are promised to be and so much more! As someone with the traditional hourglass figure finding jeans that don't gap has always been a challenge. I have one these jeans every day since receiving them and not only do they not stretch out in an unflattering way… At no point have I had the dreaded muffin top from a waistband sliding down into my hips. The jeans do run a bit large and I could've gone down to a six without a problem and likely will

Cute neckline
The high neckline on this is super cute. The back is cut too low to wear a standard bra (and probably isn't acceptable for work anyway) so I wore a blazer over it. Great conservative length - perfect desk to dinner in my book!

So many compliments
Stop doubting yourself and rent this sweater! It's a thicker knot so definitely winter or fall without a coat. Thicker knot was forgiving and laid beautifully. The navy and black combo let this top work just as well with dress pants as with jeans. The asymmetrical bottom hem was a highlight. I came awfully close to buying this one!

Too Well Loved
I was super excited to finally be able to rent this even if in an extra large (instead of my normal medium). The sweater is beautiful in person with amazing color on color design elements. It's not a clingy sweater material and is a nice medium weight - perfect for winter. My only issue was the sweater I received had a lot of pulling. It's clearly been worn by a lot of folks. All that being said, I still think it's a great sweater.

High cut
The slit on this dress is really high. Inappropriate for work (for me) high. Could I have mitigated this with a larger size? maybe. But the sleeves were already loose and long; a bigger size would have made it worse. I loved the look it just wasn't right for work.

Husbands pick!
My husband picked this out for me at RTR Chicago. A romper is way outside my comfort zone but anything that is new with tags gets points in my book! Admittedly, a large would have fit a bit better. However, this romper made me feel like I might be able to wear rompers! I love the pattern and the pink is deeper than it links online. The shorts are lined so feel confident there!

For the brave
As noted in other reviews, the cut outs are 100% sheer/open. The cut out panel running down the middle didn't bother me and I had zero qualms about wearing a strapless bra with the dress. The waist panel is more challenging. The waist is open to skin and the embellishments are literally string. I was most concerned about tearing the string. The tie ring in the skirt is adorable on.

Loved everything about this LK Bennett that arrived with tags attached! Great fit. Conservative but not boring neckline. Pockets, pockets, pockets! Maybe a smidge long - 5'3" and it hit below the knee

Cute pattern, runs big
I love the pattern on this too but it runs big. I ordered the medium and the shoulders sat at least an inch below my shoulder. As a result the neckline was so low I had to wear a cami. In a small, I would have loved this top and worn multiple times.

I rented a 6 based on reviews and still had a bit of a gap at the waistband. It was fine in thr hips and im pretty curvy. The print is gorgeous and the contrast element is a fun touch.
