Cute but heavy fabric
This was a really cute piece that I enjoyed wearing to a couple graduation parties. It was heavier than expected so not ideal for a really hot day. I thought it skewed a little older but maybe that’s because I don’t wear this brand often.

Very cute but short
I liked this dress more than I expected to-it’s cuter in person than in the pictures. I wore multiple times and got lots of compliments. It’s very short so beware when sitting or walking up stairs. Also as previous reviews have mentioned, it gapes a little at the chest if you’re larger busted

Very cute but definite boob gap as others have noted
This was such a cute dress, I literally had people on the street stop and ask me where I got it. I took off a star because the gap in the chest area is a problem. I couldn't get it to stay closed, even with fashion tape. So be aware of this and the peep show you may be giving.

Very cute, farm-girl-esque look
This is a cute, comfy spring/summer dress. It was very comfortable and not too short the way so many RTR dresses are on my 5'9" frame. It felt like a dress you'd wear to a hoedown or line dance, and my husband told me it looked like I was going to the state fair lol. Beware if you have a larger chest that this shows a fair amount of cleavage.

Not my fave HH rental, just average
I'm not sure why, but this HH dress just didn't land for me. I thought it made my arms look heavy and it ballooned out in front so much that I looked almost pregnant. Other reviewers have loved it, and I usually adore Hill House, so maybe it was just an odd fit for me.

Good work dress, safe and cute
I wore this to work and it was comfortable and cute. Nothing too memorable about this one, it's just a practical and stylish everyday dress.

Gorgeous Color and Fit!
This was a stunner! I loved the blue sequin color, and it hugs your figure in all the right ways. I wore it to a fundraising gala and it was perfect for the occasion. It was quite short (I'm 5'9", wore a size 6), so be mindful when sitting down or walking up stairs.

Perfect work dress, tons of compliments
This was an easy, throw on and look professional dress. I should have gotten the small because the medium (which I got for length) gaped quite a bit, but I just wore it looser and it was no biggie. I wore this several times, and each time I received compliments. Not a splashy look but very cute and practical.

Cute, loved the zipper, be aware of shortness if tall
I wore this to see Nate Bergatze live and it was the perfect outfit. It also would be great for a concert. I'm 5'9", and it was a "be aware of everything when you sit" type outfit. I paired it with brown leather boots because it was a good 6 to 7 inches above my knees. Not bad when standing but required some extra awareness when sitting! If you have a D cup or larger, you might find the top a little constricting if zipped all the way. I'm a 34DD and just wore it a bit unzipped and allowed the girls to be out a little, lol. Overall a fun and cute outfit!

Beautiful color but not right fit for me
The blue color is stunning. I wanted to love this dress, but I thought the fit in the arms and shoulders wasn't flattering on me. Felt like it made me look wider than I am.

I received compliments every time I wore these. The buttons in the front give them a nice upgrade to regular wide leg jeans. I thought about buying them.

Cute top, interesting sleeves
This was colorful and chic--the colors weren't as great for me as a redhead, but they would pop better on someone with different coloring. The sleeves billow at the end--didn't bother me but worth noting.

Wore this several times with black jeans. Polished look. I can do either a small or medium depending on the fit, and I had a medium in this but a small would have fit better.

Cute dress, beware of milk maid vibe
If you like the HHH look, then you'll like this dress. It wasn't my favorite HHH rental ever, but it was cute. For me personally, I favor a solid color in this particular HHH style. I felt like the floral pattern combined with the length gave it a milkmaid from the 1950s vibe lol.

I wore this to a rehearsal dinner that was a clam bake in New Orleans, and it was perfect for the occasion. It has a fun, flirty vibe and is very comfortable. Also loved the ruffles on the sleeve--cute touch!

Beautiful dress with flattering fit
Love, love, love this dress, would consider buying. It's feminine and pretty in both the pattern and cut. I wore it to a wedding and it was comfortable and easy to dance in due to it's flowy bottom half. Loved the neckline too--very flattering. You need a plunge bra or front close bra with this one--a regular bra would likely show.

Weird fit
I have a decent size chest, and I still felt like this needed to be tugged up a bit. And it made me look wide on the bottom--unnecessarily flared out.

Cute but didn't love the open back
This is a fun color and pattern and works well for a hot summer night. I didn't love the open back, but that's more of a personal preference. If you don't mind tie-backs, this would be a great rental for a lot of different occasions. Can be worn with sneaks or dressed up a bit with heeled sandals.

I sized up and still too short
Beware if you're tall, this may not be for you. I'm 5'9'' and this was way too short. Uncomfortable in the crotch. I even sized up from my normal small to a medium, and it was still too short. A large would have been too big everywhere else. Wanted to love because it's a great color and style with the zipper.

Make me look like a cupcake from the 1980s
I know others really liked this dress but it just wasn't for me. The fit was fine but the style was too much for me. When I probed my hubby for his thoughts, he told me it felt like a dress a middle schooler would wear to church in the '80s. Specific...but kind of accurate!

Eye-catching pattern so a fun/different look
You'll definitely get noticed in this dress given its eye-catching color and pattern. It's very forgiving and comfortable with the exception of it being tight in the chest if you have a larger bust. I didn't wear a bra and it still was snug, but I'm afraid sizing up would have thrown off the look everywhere else.

Beautiful color but sleeves are too balloon-like for me
Usually love Maje dresses, but this one has very exaggerated, balloon-y sleeves. It was too much sleeve fabric for me. It's a pretty color, though--a deep, navy-ish blue.

Avoid if you have a larger bust
This was pretty much unwearable with a 34D bust. Unlike may Hill House dresses which have rouching across the bust, the chest area was stiff and straight, so there was no give. I'm guessing this would work well for someone with a smaller bust, but it definitely didn't work for me.

Cute and classy
This is a great option for both work and happy hour drinks. My only complaint was it was a little tight across my chest, but I'm on the bustier side, so it would probably work great for normal-to-smaller chests

Cute fairly basic dress
I wore this on Easter and it fit the bill for that. It's cute with the puff sleeves and comfortable. It wasn't a show stopper for me, but it's a great dress for everyday or brunch-y type outings.

I’ve rented this dress twice now and it’s a winner. The color is gorgeous and the fit is flattering and comfortable. I wish it came in more colors! It’s also very versatile. Just be aware of the silk fabric for stains and wrinkles.

Sleeves are odd on this style
I normally love Hill House dresses but the sleeves on this dress fit oddly. It feels like it should be a shorter sleeve. The in-between elbow thing felt/looked awkward and just wasn't for me.

Got tons of compliments on this dress. It's chic and feminine and drapes nicely. Only downside is I found myself tugging the sleeves a little b/c the length is a little awkward at the elbow. But it was still a fabulous dress and would rent again.
