Good for maternity wear but beware...
Even for the dropped waste style the middle was very loose. I had a good extra 5 inches at the waste so it'd be great for maternity wear. BUT the back of the bottom is semi-shear. There's this satin apron in front that covers the semi shear black layer, but in the back it's nothing but the under layer. So if wearing in the daytime or to more conservative events wear a slip.

Cute and stylish
It's a borderline crop sweater. I am not particularly short waisted but this rested above my waist. It fits snug but comfortable. I'm a size 4 and the medium was perfect.

Pretty and classy.
For medium cold weather - no colder than the high 40s I'd say.

NIGHT ONLY
From the pics it looked like it could work during the day but it cannot -This is very sparkly silver with black undertone (not the other way around). Pretty for a fancy dinner or upscale party. Not for daytime.

Snuggly!
Soft and cuddly jacket. My husband kept petting it :). Good for chilly weather, but not super cold. Not suitable for temperatures below the low 50s IMO.

Good So Cal sweater
The low front and cut out back make this great for winter in warmer climates where you want a sweater but it's really not that cold. It has a lot of structure and the fabric is a little stiffer which is good - it gives nice curves.

Nicely sized
I really like this backpack. It was a good size for vacation and fit what I needed, looked good, while being unobtrusive. The only thing I did not like was there was only one zip on the zipper so you couldn't just open it at the top like you can in a regular backpack with 2 zips. That would have made it perfect and I might have bought it then.

Comfy warm work skirt
This is soft and thick material - great for fall/winter and would look good with boots.

LOVED this dress. But size up
I took the other reviewers advice and sized up 2 sizes. I usually wear a size 6, but the size 10 fit perfectly. And it has pockets!
Bronze Houndstooth Dress

Short waisted
It runs large but when when I sized down it's a tad short in the top. I'm normal waisted and when I sat down it got a bit dental-flossy in the crotch. But it fit great in every other way so I was in the right size. It's fully lined and the fabric is nice and heavy without being hot. So, depending on your body type this might work well.

Classy but fun
This is very cute with some flare while still being dressy and classy.

Perfect, classy, LBD
I really like this dress. It's classy and comfortable with stretchy material. The neckline has some interest but doesn't plunge too low. The slit in the back goes a little higher than is the norm but not so much that I mind. I may buy this one.

LOVE, LOVE THIS DRESS
This is a great dress. Blush pink, fully lined, a little stretchy with the knots around the waist adding some flare. Would absolutely rent again and when the % off increases, as it's in the catalog a little longer, I may buy it.

Loved this dress!
The perfect dress for work or a work related function. It's attractive without being unprofessional. Great dress.

Most Unflattering Dress Ever
Maternity only. I cannot imagine this looking good on anyone else. There was more than enough room in the stomach area to add a full size basketball under that dress. But it wasn't that large anywhere else. Just a weird amount of fabric at the tummy. My husband actually started laughing when I tried it on even though he was trying not to. Needless to say I did not wear it.

Cute shirt!
I really liked this shirt, especially with the navy pencil skirt I wore it with. But it runs large. I wore a medium and I'm a size 10, B cup. A tank top was needed! I'd order a size down.
Blue Salo Wrap Shirt
MLM Label
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 38B
Beautiful construction
This is a very well made and intricately sewn skirt. Runs a little small but I could still wear my normal size. It's heavily lined but the flap in the back did let the sequins dig into my legs when sitting. Tights would have helped that. This would be a great piece for a work event where you want to sparkle bit still be professional.
Bronze Chevron Skirt
Hunter Bell
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"

Nice, not great
Very young looking. Not leather-like at all. It was thin and flowy. Nice enough but nothing special.
Gold Faux Leather Skirt
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 38B
Fun with a bit of sex appeal
The fabric is more casual than I was expecting. It's not exactly denim, more of a heavy cotton. I really liked for a casual work day. Its not fancy at all, but it is fun.

Loved this jumpsuit
Great fit with a vibrant color. Very comfortable. I may end up buying this one.
Epoch Jumpsuit

Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10

Roomy bust
Very nice dress with the draping accentuating your curves. It runs true to size but has a lot if room in the bust. I'm only a size B and there was plenty of room. The draping hid that fact though, so its not like you must be big busted, but this would be a great dress if you were.
Navy Twist Dress
JS Collection
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10

Lovely skirt
The skirt came with heavily starched pleats which was actually good. The extra panels on the skirt give it some bounce. Really, a very nice skirt. The colors are bright and eye catching.

Gorgeous fabric and color
Fully lined & beautiful fabric. The pale pink is very pretty and the bodysuit feels good on. I'm 5'5" and I could have worn flats so the pant length might be tricky if you are tall.
Desert Rose Jumpsuit
Christian Siriano
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"

Very flattering
I really loved this dress. It is very flattering and so confortable. An easy dress to wear all day because of the nice stretchy material. Also, eye catching with the polka dots. No downsides.
Pink Dot Ruffle Sheath

Nice Dress but Nothing Special
Unlined, true to size and rather unremarkable in person. I liked the color and thought the sleeves would add some flare which is why I rented it, but no, they really didn't. It reminded me of a million other dresses at the $100 price point at Macy's. The fabric was fine but again, nothing special. Basically, it was OK. I would not rent it again.

Beautiful Skirt
True to size. The fabric is thick and feels lovely but it is not lined. Women loved this skirt and I had several ladies stop me to tell me how beautiful it was. My husband on the other hand said it was "just OK." :-)

Loved it
Runs a little big. I'd go down a size. The fabric is very nice and lined. The pockets were appreciated. Lots of compliments.

SO comfy!
They run at least one size big and if you're normally on the cusp of a smaller size you might want to consider going down two sizes. The fabric is heavy so not ideal for hot weather.

A cape!
This was actually the backup dress but it was so much cooler I wore it instead. Tons of compliments on my cape.
