Very cropped
This was more cropped than I envisioned, even though on review it is very clear from the picture how short this top is. Luckily I have very high raise navy pants. It was a fun look and only made me feel a little bit like a flight attendant to wear.

Didn't wear but loved the fit
I rented with the jacket, which wasn't in wearable condition. The pants were a lower rise than I would wear without the jacket, but I love the fit otherwise.

Flattering
The ruching helps give a defined waist look. Nice in the hot weather. I love yellow, but I also appreciated that this was a muted color. If you are not small-chested, you may want to size up.

Fun pants
I loved wearing these pants on a spring day. I am 5'3" and could wear these with flats. The waist has elastic in the back, so very forgiving. I recommend if you are looking for a unique and vibrant item to wear.

These really stretched out, so I only wore them once. They were fine, but nothing special. Good length for me (5'3") in sneakers.

Fun to wear once or twice
I never find size small tops too small, but I wished this were more oversized. With the tapered waist and sleeves, it felt shrunken.

Cute skirt, fun to style. Didn't make me feel frumpy, as some denim skirts have a tendency to do.

This was fine, but nothing special. I am usually between a 2 and 4. I probably should have gone with the 2 fit-wise, but I will think this would just have been okay

Didn't Wear
This was surprisingly unflattering and made me look wider than I am. I have with this style before but attribute the poor guy to the fabric, which does not hold the pleats well.

I loved the fun look, but the straps are very long. I am pretty flat-chested and someone with a different body type might not have that problem.

Size down
I wear between a 2 and 4, and I rented the 4. A 2, or perhaps a 0, would have been a better fit. Because this is a bulkier fabric, especially around the waist, it would have been much more flattering in a smaller size. And as a shorty, I didn't need the extra length in the leg. These pooled a little on the ground when I wore with chunkier-soled loafers, but that is not uncommon for my height. I would rent again in a smaller size, and I even got compliments despite the less-than-flattering fit.

Not very polished
This was fine. It really didn't help that this was overworn, but the white fabric was no longer truly white and was just not in the best condition. The black is a different fabric, which only emphasized that the white stripes were kind of dingy. I wore it, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Just too much
This fit extremely boxy and was just way too much -- too much fabric, too much pattern -- for me. I would not recommend this to anyone who is short or has narrow shoulders. I didn't wear it.

The fit of this dress was so flattering, and I got a ton of compliments on it. It wasn't my color, so I wouldn't rent again--unless Tanya Taylor comes out with a version where the colors are flipped!

Runs big
I normally wear a 2 or 4, and I got this in a 4. A 0 would have been a better fit. It didn't have the curvy silhouette in the picture, and so it felt a little frumpy (especially because I am on the shorter side--but I don't think the length would have been a problem if there was a more defined waist). It was fine with a belt, but not the look I was going for. It was a nice, light fabric, and I will try again in a smaller size in the spring.

Very fitted
I liked this dress, which did a great job of showing off the curves I like without exposing everything. It IS a stretchy dress with horizontal stripes, and the color is a little less vibrant where the fabric is more stretched. I wasn't crazy about that effect, but I don't think anyone noticed but me. I also really liked the length. At 5'3", I found the length really flattering.

Eighties Blazer
This blazer gave me strong early 90s power suit vibes. The should pads gave a very square shape. The arms were comically large on me, so I didn't wear it for that reason, but I probably wouldn't have worn it regardless.

Low Rise + Snap Buttons
These jeans have a low rise in the front, which is really problematic because they have a snap closure. Even though I had room in the waist, they unsnapped with normal movement. Luckily, I was wearing an oversized sweater when I discovered this, but they are not really wearable if you are looking for clothing stays on your body! Bummer, because otherwise they were exactly what I was looking for when I rented these jeans.

way too oversized
I really wanted to love this: I look GREAT in orange. But the smallest size was WAY too big in the shoulders, arms, and lengthwise. I felt like I was in the movie Dumb & Dumber. Maybe it would work for a taller person who sized down. Sadly, I just couldn't wear it.

Unique and flattering
I love wearing this jumpsuit. It runs a little small: I am between a 2 and a 4 and went with a 4 for this. I am on the short side of average height, I have a long torso, and this BARELY works for me, so other would-be wearers beware. I probably wouldn't wear it without a cardigan or other cover because of the slight pull, but it looks great with just a little bit of cover. I have worn it to work and to dinner, with and without a collar underneath.

Great basic
This was a great, basic, goes-with-everything top. Fit as expected. Perhaps a little youthful for me (in my 40s), but it was easy to wear. I would rent again if I need a simple top.

Great silhouette
This dress really accentuates your waistline. Comfortable, flattering, and can be dressed up or down. It's a must rent. For fit: I wear a 2 or a 4, am very small-chested, and have curvier hips and thighs. I rented in a 4, and I think it was the right call, but this dress is forgiving enough that I think the smaller size also would have been fine.

Loads of compliments
I loved the color and style. I wish I had paid more attention and realized this is a wrap top. I love the style, but I always find wrap tops look a little sloppy, even if figure-flattering. I couldn't get this to lie like it does on the model. It was fitted on top when I wore it (and I am very flat-chested). I liked the look, even if it wasn't what I expected. At 5'3", it was long, but not awkwardly so. It hit mid-shin. The big side slit made it feel like it wasn't too matronly despite the length. I probably wouldn't rent again, but I thought this was a great rental: wore something different once, got loads of compliments, and don't have it sitting in my closet.

Too short
I am 5'3" and normally wear a 2 in tops/4 in bottoms. I rented the XS based on reviews that this runs large. I found the fit was great except for the length. Super short. I didn't end up wearing, but someone who likes baring their legs might love it!

This looked like a bathrobe on me. It was long and bulky, despite sizing down, though I appreciated the warmth. I just ended up wearing it around the house. I would not rent this again.

This was more cropped than I thought it would be based on the model's picture. I still had midriff showing when paired with high-waisted pants. Not my style, but maybe it's yours.

Unwearable
I rented the 34R and I have no idea how anyone is supposed to wear this! The bottoms fit great, but the top was wide open and lopsided. I could put a shirt underneath to cover up, but it looked sloppy because the top of the jumpsuit hung open on one side. Super disappointing.

I found these to be comfortable and stylish. At 5'3", I appreciated that I could just cuff the pants a second time so they fell at the right length without looking absurd. I will definitely rent these again.

Too much fabric
I really love orange and fitted waists so very enthusiastic to receive this rental. As a smaller person, I thought the dress was very overwhelming - there is almost a whole second front to the dress that lies underneath the zipper. It is a lot of fabric and gave the dress a very unflattering fit. I wear between a 2 and 4 and found it pulled across the back, despite that I ordered the larger size. I couldn't wear it.

Dinner in the time of quarantine
I wore this for Thanksgiving dinner with my family during quarantine. Since it was just us, I didn't want to go all out, but I didn't want to wear the same old sweats I have been sporting all year. This fit the bill, and was so much nicer than I expected. Length was great for me at 5'3". Very flattering. Top was a little big, but not concerning since I was just wearing it around the house.

So very warm. It was itchier than I thought it would be, but okay if wearing a long sleeve top underneath (which only adds to how warm it is!). I probably won't rent again, but it was fun to try.
