Great clutch
I loved this clutch, especially with the option to wear over the shoulder. As other reviews have mentioned, it’s not huge but it did fit my bare necessities (iPhone 12 mini in its case, ID, small lip touch-up) and was just right for me at a great rental price. My iPhone mini fit perfectly but for those with a larger phone this clutch might not be ideal. I love Whiting & Davis, so this was a rental treat.

Surprise sleeper hit
I didn’t look twice at this dress until one of my sizes in another dress was unavailable last minute and I scrambled for an emergency backup. This was pretty much the only thing available in my size. I ended up wearing a different dress, but this was a surprisingly solid option. The color is stunning, much more berry than neon, and the fit is a great and comfortable. I’d say it was mostly true to size but a hair small: I usually take a 4 but the 2 in this fit better (in the same designer, different dress I’ve worn a 4). The 4 in this could have worked in a pinch, but I’d recommend getting a smaller size for your backup. All in all, a surprisingly good option!

Strange fit
This dress was simultaneously too large and too small: the bust on my usual size 4 just barely fit, but the waist was about 4 inches too big. I was hoping for Audrey Hepburn vibes but this did not work at all for my narrow build. The fabric is lovely and it’s well-made, but the fit is a puzzle. I wore another option.

LOVED this stunner!
I fell in love with the back of this dress, it was perfect for our museum gala in support of our film collection. True to size although it did gape just slightly at the back—but I have a small bust, and the gaping was easily fixed with fashion tape. Very comfortable and easy to move in. Compliments all night long. The lining is thin and between that and the sequins, I wore a control-top thong which smoothed everything out perfectly. Worked great with an adhesive bra. Was sorry to send this one back!

Solid option for a formal affair
It’s a pretty, well-made dress, true to size, but runs short. I got a Long thanks to other reviews and it was perfect with my 4-inch shoes. It was a back-up dress for me and I didn’t end up wearing it but it was a solid option. Thick, smoothing fabric, stretches enough that I was able to pull on (as opposed to going on over my head). It’s very difficult to walk in, given the narrow shape and no slit, so I selected another dress. For me to walk I would have had to hold one side up slightly with my hand, so one star off for that.

Fun alternative to a jacket
I liked this classic, fun cape--although, I ended up wearing it less than I thought I would. It's tricky, even in Texas, to find a day when it was cool enough for heavy wool but warm enough not to have sleeves. The times I wore it I really liked it, though. It's the perfect thing to rent, in my opinion--the style is great to try but I probably don't need to own.

Perfect basic
This is a very straightforward, simple basic knit blazer...which is exactly why I rented it. I wanted something very versatile that I would get a lot of use out of. I wore it so often I went ahead and purchased it. Not too structured, not too casual, but feels like a sweatshirt to wear. Arms are a bit thin fabric and slightly prone to wrinkling but no big deal. I'm a size 4 and the small was perfect.

Interesting basic piece
This fit very well, true to size. The waist detail is a fun twist (heh) on what would otherwise be a very basic piece. There's a side zipper that makes it easy to get in and out of.

I'm a big fan
I really like this bag. It's the perfect size for work, and the saddle leather color and clean lines of this are lovely. It's unlined leather but has the same finish inside as outside, so not being lined doesn't matter. It has only a small coin-purse type attachment that attaches to an inside hook to act as something of an interior pocket, so for some it might not offer enough internal organization. I use it with a purse organizer so it's perfect for me.

Cute idea, just not my style
I like the slight boat-neck and the fine stitch of this sweater, but I do wish I would have sized up from my regular 4 / 36 for a less cropped look. It technically fit true to size, but I personally think I would have liked it more if it had a little more give. I had a hard time finding pants to wear this with, because the cut was a little too cropped in my usual size, but if you have more high-waisted pants in your closet that might not be an issue. It has a 1970s, vintage-y vibe which is fun but not 100% my speed.

Good casual sweater
I liked the cut of this thick, cozy sweater; the forward-side and fishtail vents break up what would otherwise be a very bulky sweater. It's true to size, but intended to be slightly oversize. It never made it out of the house when I rented it—I only wore it over PJs as longe wear—but would be cute as a casual piece.

Not bad
This is a decent light coat—fine for Texas winter but wouldn't stand up to real cold—and runs true to size. The fabric was a little too shaggy and muppet-y for my personal taste, but it was fun for the time I had it.
