Gorgeous
Almost bought this one and will rent again! Fit like a glove and very flattering - I wore for multiple work presentations and big days.

Loved it but length was short
Beautiful, flattering and very forgiving fit with stretch made this a winner for a black tie fundraiser. Allowed wearing a normal bra, and not too much skin which was critical because this was a work event for me. Only note is it was quite short in the “regular” length. I’m 5’7” and it was slightly above my ankles so ran short even with flats on.

Really odd fit
These pants zipped but looked absolutely terrible- weird loose fabric in the tummy area, tight in the hips/butt, and strange rise. Perhaps made for someone with a straighter figure where they’ll hang correctly, but this didn’t work for my athletic hourglass shape!

So perfect that I bought it
I absolutely love this top, and ended up buying it on my first wear. The fabric is incredibly soft and feels luxurious, and the pattern is beautiful. One note is that the floral design on mine is place slightly different than on the model photo (with the large flower being on the right shoulder area rather than mid-torso). The price was right, and I see this shell being a staple in both my work and casual wardrobe.

Beautiful top; I got lots of compliments
The fabric is absolutely gorgeous - really saturated teal color, and it feels incredibly soft. A couple of fit notes: 1) the top felt relatively short on me. I had to retie the sash a few times to avoid showing a swath of skin right above the tie. I wore with black pants but plan to also wear with a black pencil skirt and dark blue skinny jeans before I send it back. 2) the sash is pretty heavy and has to be tied very tight or it will come loose during the day. I would rent this again.

Cute dress - it grew on me
I didn't initially love this dress when I tried it on, because the waist felt so loose. If you're between sizes, I'd size down. I think it's a straighter cut than it appeared to be on the model, so I tried both belting it with a stretchy wide black belt and then wore it again with a belted cardigan. Both turned out really cute. The fabric was beautiful and felt really luxurious. A couple of fit points: I'm 5'8" and felt a little short for work (5" above my knee), especially with the 2" slits on the sides. Very flattering length though. Second, it does have a black banded area under the armpits with small cutouts - it wasn't noticeable even without the cardigan, but I didn't see them in the photos when I rented it.

Love this dress!
The pattern is incredibly beautiful, and the cut (elastic waistline) was flattering and forgiving. I will definitely rent this one again.

So many compliments on this dress!
Loved both the color and flattering fit of this dress. It fit perfectly, and the pockets were great and didn't add much bulk even when I had keys/badge in them. Hem hit right at the top of my kneecap. I thought the arms/sleeves were a tad tight, but I do have a pretty athletic frame - still not enough to stop me from wearing the dress. I wore this to work and a conference, styled with light gray flats and nude patent wedges. The color really pops!

Wear this skirt so many ways!
This skirt is really flattering and fits a lot of body shapes thanks to the stretch. The fabric is truly a sweater (rather than ponte) knit and is a little clingy but overall skims curves and flatters them. I got a lot of compliments wearing this to the office. I wore with gray pumps, a burgundy top, and a black cardigan but can imagine lots of ways to style this. I did feel like the style emphasizes any lower stomach pooch given its high waist so if you're self conscious of that area, plan for a loose top that is cut a little longer.

Pretty Dress, Runs Large
I wore this for work and a networking event. The dress is flattering and seems like it would work well on a variety of figures. I styles it with a black cardigan and peep-toe pump.I felt like it ran very large in the hips and waist; the dress is also pretty stretchy jersey fabric. I would definitely size down if I rented again.

Great dress for a summer wedding
This dress was just beautiful. Tailored through the top and an a-line skirt. I rented both the 2 and the 4 and ended up wearing the 2. It hit a couple inches above my knee. The fabric is a brighter purple than it looked in the picture, but the pattern is so pretty. The back cut out is set up so you can show some skin AND wear a normal bra, which was a pleasant surprise. Best of all, POCKETS. Perfect for stashing lip gloss or your phone. Overall, I'd consider this dress a win - I got a ton of compliments!

Great option for "rehearsal party"
I rented this for a rehearsal dinner/party for a recent wedding. Beautiful dress, but it runs very narrow in the hips and short in the waist. Fabric turned out to be a little more metallic/shiny than I was expecting.
