Elegant and versatile
Wore this to several holiday events and work- very pretty pattern and hangs nicely. Doesn't wrinkle not super soft.

Just okay
Didn't find the pants all that flattering- seemed to hug hips a bit tightly . The cuffs are a little odd also.

Flattering fit and fun pattern
I wore this to lunch with a friend with a pair of tan and bright red flat sandals. The length was perfect- not too long for a maxi. I loved the colors and white background. A little too fun for work so I sent it back pretty quickly. Would be great for a BBQ or garden party.

A little "bridesmaid-ey"
Perhaps it's the color combined with somewhat thick fabric, but this felt like a bridesmaid dress. Fit is okay, does show undergarment lines even though the dress wasn't tight, so I wore a slip. Also a little voluminous in the bust area. Don't think I will wear it more than once.
Lavender Puff Sleeve Dress

Great fit for curves
Light silky material. Shoulders a little binding if you need to move around a lot, which I don't for work. Comes in nicely at rib cage so quite flattering. Length just below knee. Really pretty!
Robyn Red Dress
L.K. Bennett
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 32D
Unique waistline
This dress has a horizontal drawstring in the front of the waist as well as in the back, allowing you to cinch in both places. I think it's flattering. The material is nice and the pattern is fun and gives a little edge to the conservative cut.
Damiell Animal Print Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Great summer work dress
The buttons go all the way up the high collar but you can leave them undone- I wore it both ways. Fun print and the flirty skirt softens the severity of the high neck. Easy fit.
Long Sleeve Vivianna Dress

A little short
Cute dress, better for shorter waisted ladies because it has a tendency to ride up a bit. Also a tad short for work. Still cute enough to wear twice!

Such a fun bright pattern
I loved this dress. The pattern and colors are so bright but the simple cut and easy fit are a nice contrast. Light fabric.
Marker Floral Dress

Not for curvy hips
This dress wasn't very flattering on me. It was a touch snug in the hips and big in the waist. I didn't wear it.
Navy Tipped Mock Neck Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 32D
Bulgy slanted pockets
Wore this once with a cardigan to cover the slanted pockets that bulge when you walk. Also a little short for work. Otherwise a nice dress, liked the material and would be more flattering on someone with narrower hips.
Colorblock Ponte Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Retro collar
This dress is more flattering than it looks in pictures. The collar shows off your collar bone structure and I like the colors in the plaid, which include a limey green and teal-ish blue in addition to the more traditional navy and rust. This is not a fitted dress in the waist but still hangs nicely on curvy types. I like the front pockets. Overall a fun and comfortable work dress.
Plaid Maleko Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Adds flair
This jacket has a light weight chiffon like ruffle easing transition from waist to hips. I wore it a few times. Pretty cute, not to die for.
Ruffle Trim Tweed Jacket
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Easy work dress
This dress has a ruffle on either side of the top- the one I received is missing a few stitches attaching part of the ruffle on one side. This didn't really bother me. While the dress is cute, I think I should have sized down for a more flattering look because the A line cut is forgiving in the hips and legs.
Mod Plaid Ruffle Dress

Wanted to like it, but
Cute dress and I like the sleeves but the fit was off for me. It puffed out in the midsection front and back and was comparatively snug in the thighs and hips. Didn't wear it but someone with skinnier legs might like it. The material was fine and it was comfortable.
Plaid Gomy Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Perfect for a winter non rainy work day
This is an easy fit dress, though I did size up to a medium. I like that it's a sweater material, though it's not heavy and hangs nicely. I am long waisted and have generous hips and strong legs and sometimes these dresses look baggy if not tight but this one is flattering.
Ruffle Bib Knit Shirtdress
Aldomartins
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6

Cute but puffs out in stomach area
Wore this to work and paired it with a cardigan and thin belt. Material is thin, comfortable but not stretchy.
Sleeveless Houndstooth Dress

Solid choice
Flattering dress and the deep neckline and high-Ish collar add flair.

Just needs a tad of stretch!
Cute dress that was a touch too tight in the hips to wear.

Great dress
This dress is heavy and hangs nicely - super flattering

Wanted to like it!
I loved the neckline of this dress and the buttons on the sleeves. The dress also was made of nice material. Unfortunately, it bunched out in the waist and was not flattering- didn't wear it once! The rest of the fit was fine.
The Heist Dress
Nanette Lepore

Wore twice in a week!
Perfect fall dress. The material is like sweater material - soft, not itchy. Easy to add a cardigan. Love the detail on the hem. The dress hangs nicely. Tempted to buy it!

Can dress up or down
Really liked this comfortable lace dress. Cool for summer and flattering. I paired it with Converse slip ons and ran errands but also dressed it up for work. Would definitely rent again!

Scratchy fabric
This was just okay- fairly flattering fit but it was scratchy around my neck where my t shirt underneath didn't reach.
Blue Striped Sweater

Mad Men
Iconic dress. Wrinkles easily (arrived wrinkled) and perhaps more apropos to a summer cocktail event than work. But it was fun to wear and pretty comfortable.
Army Green Shirtdress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Wore once
Because I am long waisted, I ordered a size 6, but it swam on me in the waist. The belt assisted with this but overall I didn't find this to be super flattering. The top gapes a little so I also wore a camisole. Belt plus it being a jumpsuit meant it was a pain to use the restroom.
Shane Seersucker Jumpsuit
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Loose waist
Thick fabric, nice striated design but my 10 yo daughter said it looked awful and insisted I wear a knit top over it (as pictured)- LOL. I think the issue is the top fit fine and the bottom was generally fine but the transition between the two was too stark- emphasizing the bottom half. Also the fabric bagged out in the waist.
Scoop Neck Sweater Dress

Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Sleeves and neckline make it special
Slightly fitted in waist but generous a line skirt. medium weight fabric with a slight jacquard texture. Deep v neck. Very pretty!

Warm fabric; fun sparkles
Super happy with this dress. The heavier fabric is warm which I like. My one complaint is the slant pockets bulge out sometimes at an unflattering spot. Would rent again.

schoolgirl dress
heavy tweed, super cute. slightly short for work.
Midnight Multi Dress
Jason Wu
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Cute but fabric a little stiff
This dress is pretty flattering. Snug fit in the thighs/bum area (though I sized down between my two regular sizes). I felt it gapped a bit in the stomach area.
V-Neck Banded Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Too short for work
Loved the fun flutter in the shoulder area. This dress is made of a thick material and I found it SUPER tight in the arms, not usually an issue for me. I liked the cut fabric and style of this dress which was also comfortable. However it was several inches above my knees and so too casual for work most days. Tights help.
Sleek Ruffle Dress
J.O.A.
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Flattering neckline
The neckline is what makes this dress special- something about how it shows the collar bone, I think. The material is lighter than I expected. Accommodated my hips nicely, probably could have been longer waisted, but overall super cute and would be good in spring or winter with tights which is how I wore it. I also liked the purple undertones of the dress. Would rent again!

lots of compliments
Not something I'd ordinarily pick out but fun to try! Love the color. It nips in quite a lot in the waist which makes it more flattering than you might think. Has a light silky texture. There is a deep slit in the front that was too revealing for work, so I wore a camisole under it. I liked how the back hem of the dress dips down lower in kind of a v shape. Really fun rental!
Casper Dress
Hunter Bell
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
kind of strange fit
This dress is kind of odd, it's very blousy and billows in the back. There was a lot of extra material in the stomach area and no defined waistline, so hard to figure out where the waist should hit. The inner sheath of the skirt was a little snug on my legs but the skirt did not look tight. Overall the fit was awkward and I didn't wear it- maybe just not the right style for my body type.
Bellatrix Harluna Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
artistic, edgy
This has a 1920's vibe to it. I got a lot of compliments. I liked the tight collar neck with the cutout and ruffle down the front. This dress is actually two pieces. First there is a spaghetti strap shift dress underneath (although the skirt part is more a-line) and then you have the blouse over it. This worked well for me because I wanted length so I could leave the spaghetti straps long to achieve length without exposing my bra, since the blouse covered all that up.
Houndstooth Ruffled Silk Dress

Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Fun, flouncy
I enjoyed wearing this dress and got a couple of compliments on it. The sleeves billow out and then come in with a snug longish cuff and the bow and keyhole neckline add interest. Didn't think it was super flattering for curvy types though.
Airy Grey City Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 36
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32D
Short waisted
This dress has a nice red color and the fabric has a good weight to it. However, the dress is cut to be very round in the hip area. Unfortunately the hip area was too high on me, meaning that the dress billows out around my waist. If you are long waisted, this dress won't work for you.
Trinu Red Dress
L.K. Bennett
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

stretchy material
This has a flirty young cut. It is stretchy and the fabric has a shine to it, which gives it a more casual look.
Windowpane Knit Dress
Draper James
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 32D
Sweater dress
This is a billowy sweater dress. It's not super flattering for curvy types and the slit is a tad too revealing for work especially because the dress must have been dry cleaned to create a fold in the slit making it even more revealing. It's comfortable and well made.
