Very Short Dress
I really liked this dress and it was very comfortable and served its purpose BUT it was extremely short (and I'm a short person at just barely 5'2"). I ended up having to wear opaque tights with it so I could wear to work. Honestly probably wouldn't feel comfortable with bare legs in this even if not at work. And I'm a person who likes short dresses to show off my legs! If this had been a winter style dress I wouldn't be so worried because I would gladly wear with tights as I did....but for a summer style dress I would like the option to go bare legs and it is just too short for that. Otherwise, very flattering fit (I saw another girl who claimed she had to hem up the dress to make the right length...I just don't see how that is possible as I am SHORT and there was no room for hemming). Everywhere else, though, it fit fine so it wasn't like it was too small in arms or anywhere else.

Pretty pattern dress
So this dress was very springy and had a beautiful pretty pattern. I did receive multiple compliments on the dress and it served its purpose (which was to be a bit boxy to allow for a binder post surgery). It just isn't my style for a work dress so while I liked it and it did what I wanted it to do, I wouldn't rent again for myself.

OK Pants with some flair
Pants were nice and liked the added detail. Only reason took some stars off is that they feel like very cheap/thin material. They were not see through or anything but just felt very cheap (can't imagine them retailing for almost $400!)

Fun shirt!
So I thought this would be one of those rent don't own obvious pieces. But I was wrong- in a good way. It was so fun and comfortable and could be worn with so many things and in different ways. I ended up wearing it 3 times and seriously considered buying if it was just a bit less expensive. Will just have to rent again. Got so many compliments. Wore it to work with black pants, to a school field trip for my son with white jeans and a weekend family birthday party with black shorts!!

Nice blouse
I ended up wearing a couple of times. Nice blouse that went with skinny black pants or leggings. Had to wear something under as too low cut otherwise.

uncomfortable
so, I ordered for a NYC trip with my son but ended up not wearing. Maybe if I was still in my 20s this would be fine. It was flattering and nice looking but WAY too uncomfortable. The neck (as others have said) make it very difficult to put on. the way the shoulder cut outs work, it also felt odd holding my arms in certain positions. While it looked very nice on, it just was not practical for me to wear for my intended purpose. Maybe I'll try one of the similar ones in this branch that goes slightly off one shoulder...

stylish comfort
Got this blazer to wear during surprise NYC trip with my son. It worked out great for the occasion and ended up wearing on Easter and to work as well so getting a lot of use out of it. It is the perfect weight for spring, very comfortable/stretchy material and love the colors. As other reviewers said, however, it is a bit oddly proportioned. The arms are long and slim (but them have extra room at top in shoulder area), the bust area is also very small in comparison so the collar doesn't lie flat but that's ok because it made me feel a bit "cool" lol with a bit of a popped color. I have a very hourglass figure so the waist fit fine and looked very nice and slimming but couldn't wear it buttoned due to small bust area. Overall nice rent and considered purchasing but figure I got good use out of it!

Nice but itchy!
Nice dress and looked quite flattering on. That said, it was very itchy so had to wear something underneath or it would drive me crazy all day. Also, as others said, the belt is weird (and quite frankly I think the model is wearing it wrong but still wore it the way the model did even though the belt I think was designed differently). Also as others said, the top is rather loose, big and therefore lies oddly. You would think it would be less flattering as a result but all told it was quite flattering on.

Great winter dress!!
Very comfortable, heavy weight, form fitting dress perfect for work. Felt stylish and sassy all day while still feeling work appropriate. Got multiple compliments throughout the day and husband loved it too. Just note the stripes are navy, not black

Great casual but put together top!!
Wore once already as the MC at my son's pinewood derby event. Felt put together without looking cheap/trashy. Note: it is a bit cropped/short so best to wear with high waisted jeans. Wore with a pair of skinny jeans from spanx and some booties and felt great. Plan to wear again to work before returning.
