Just okay maternity jeans.
The denim has very little stretch, so these fit quite small. The waist is perfectly fine, and will stretch quite a bit throughout pregnancy, but I found the lack of stretch in the denim to be problematic. The waist is incredibly low rise, so unless you've got low rise undies to match, which some ladies might love if they don't like anything touching the bump. I didn't love it at all.

Amazing color, but waaaay short-waisted
Rented as an option for my rehearsal dinner. I really wanted to love this, but the camel toe was unreal. I am a small size 6 and don't particularly struggle with jumpsuits, but this one just looked ridiculous. No pockets, which is annoying in jumpsuits. The color was phenomenal and the cutouts on the sides weren't too revealing. The back is completely open so no bra is feasible, but there are bust cups that worked well for my 36Bs. If an 8 is available, I'll rent it to see if that fixes the short-waisted issue.

Flattering jumpsuit, great for curves
Rented as an option for my rehearsal dinner, but decided against it. This is a lovely jumpsuit, but did not fit my figure. I am an athletic shape, but I do have a decently defined waist and hips. The fit didn't really do much for my figure, but I bet curvier ladies would look great. There was plenty of room in the bust, and there was a modesty stitch to hold it together. At 5'7" there was plenty of room in the crotch, which I often struggle with in jumpsuits. The wrap front was great for hiding any stomach concerns, however it made the hemline on the pants look uneven. No matter how I stood one pant leg was noticeably longer than the other. I was annoyed, but others might be fine with it. Material was on the thicker side - I could see darker colored undies through the material, but no panty lines. Fabric might not be the best for very warm and humid climates. Overall a nice garment, just not right for my body.

Weird fit - size up!
Rented to try on as an option for my bridesmaids. Color was gorgeous, a true lighter gold with nice shimmer. Overall this had an odd fit for my size. I'm usually on the smaller size of street size 6, sometimes have to go to an 8 in more structured RTR brands. This just had a strange fit - the 8 might be better. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy, but form-fitting - I'd recommend shapewear to smooth things out. The bodice has bust padding which I was not a fan of, because it hit at an odd angle for my small-ish chest. Length was good - at 5'7" I could wear 2.5" wedges and the hem hit the floor. Shorter ladies might struggle with the length. There was some odd gathering at the slit seam, but that may have been due to needing one size up. My 6R had boning that was poking through - decently easy fix with fashion tape, but might be uncomfortable for long events - YMMV. No other signs of overuse. Not a bad dress, just not a great fit for my shape.

Super comfortable, great for long-waisted ladies!
Rented to try on as a bridesmaid dress option. This is so ridiculously comfortable, I'll be recommending it to my ladies! The straps are definitely long, but my suspicion is that many previous renters wanted the waistline to fall a bit higher than it naturally does. I'm 5'7" and when the waist seam was placed at my natural waist, the straps felt maybe ever so slightly too long, but nothing I'd be concerned about during a long event. Ladies who are long-waisted will love the fit of this dress. The material is very stretchy, but I would recommend shapewear because the material is lightweight and unstructured so it showed even seamless undies. The length was on the shorter side - at 5'7" and 2.5" wedge heels, the hem fell about 2 inches off the floor. Tall ladies should definitely get the long in order to wear heels. For an outside summer wedding, this is perfect, and I'll be recommending it to my bridesmaids!

Gorgeous, lightweight, and flattering, but SIZE DOWN by 2 sizes
Rented as an option for my bridesmaids for an outdoor summer wedding, and I loved it! As with other reviews, if you are small- to medium-chested, the top will droop a little. When I folded over the neckline a little bit it really helped - you may be able to get creative with fashion tape to help reduce the bagginess. I put both pics in so you can see the difference between tucking extra material and not. The material is very lightweight, and would be perfect for an outdoor event in heat and humidity, if you had to wear a long dress. However, because it's so lightweight, the fabric did tend to show panty lines. The front of the skirt is a wrap-like situation, so the "slit" is really just where the fabric falls when you walk. That said the "slit" goes all the way to the waist, so it can get a bit revealing when walking or in windy weather. The wrap also helps to hide any stomach issues. I'm 5'7" and had on 2.5 inch wedges to try on the dress - length was to the floor for the regular. Shorter ladies might struggle with the length. I wear a 6, and sometimes an 8 in RTR brands, but this size 4 felt slightly too big. For an event I'd likely go with the 2, but I do tend to like my dresses on the fitted side. Overall this is a solid option, and I will likely be using it for my bridesmaids!

Amazing!
Super comfortable! Sad there were no pockets, especially since there was room in the hips. R length was perfect - I'm 5'7" and wore 3 inch wedges. Length skimmed the tops of my toes. Top is tight right under the bust, but that made it supportive since no bra is feasible. The zipper did slip down a tiny bit during the night, but that actually just made it easier to use the restroom without zipper assistance. I will DEFINITELY be renting this one again!

Fun & Shiny!
I rented this in a L because the M wasn't available. It was WAY too big on my frame. I'm usually a size 6 in street clothes, 8 in RTR brands, and the L was literally falling off of me. It's too bad, because the jumpsuit is adorable! The fabric is perfectly shimmery, the length was perfect on me, and the pockets were lovely. I will most definitely be renting again when the M is available!

Perfect for Tux Night!
Wore for a NYE party and concert, where the guys were all in tuxes. This was a fantastic choice. I paired with a cage bra and lots of fashion tape! Front zip made for easy bathroom breaks. I'm 5'7" and wore flats - hem hit me right at the ankle. The neckline is super adjustable with a belt - fully buttoned would have shown just a hint of cleavage, but I wanted maximum impact. I am a 36B and a store size 6. Jumpsuit was roomy enough to layer on top of a shirt if desired, waist and hips were roomy but not excessively so. I originally rented a small because the medium wasn't available, and the small was way too small in the thighs and torso length. Pockets are large - no need for a clutch with this one. Torso is a teensy bit short - long waisted gals should steer clear. Jumpsuit had clearly been worn a few times before, as it was missing some sleeve buttons, but wasn't super noticeable. With the right accessories, this could go from date night up to black tie. Highly recommend as a dress alternative!

Super shiny!
I rented this for a NYE party, but ended up wearing something else. I'm 5'7", and the long would have been the right size. I'm a size 6 in most stores (Loft, Ann Taylor) and the 6L seemed like the right fit. There was some bunching at the waist in the back - it might have been alleviated by a slightly larger size, but then I'd have been pulling up the dress all night. I had to take off my strapless bra to fit the top - this is definitely not for larger busts. The color is a gorgeous silvery grey, it's shiny but not blindingly so.

Gorgeous color!
Gorgeous dress, high/low was perfect length on both sides. I wear a size 6 in store sizes (Loft, Ann Taylor) and the 8R was a bit tight. It fit fine, but a 10 might be more comfortable for an entire evening. I ended up wearing something else - would rent again for a different event!

Perfect for a tropical wedding!
Needed a dress last minute as none of my original selections fit. Thankfully the DC store had this dress available, and it was absolutely perfect. I wore this to a wedding on a tropical island in Africa, with a formal dress code. I needed something that would be easy to pack, was festive, but still formal enough for the wedding. This absolutely fit the bill. The color is a bright pink fuchsia, photographs a bit orange depending on the light. The length was great - I'm 5'7', wore wedges with a 1 inch platform and 4 inch heels, the front skimmed my toes and the back (slight) train skimmed the floor. It traveled well - I made sure to hang it up at every stop, and it wrinkled just slightly, nothing a few steamy showers couldn't fix. The only drawback is that the side has a mesh cutout that makes the sides of your bra visible. I just wore a nude strapless and it blended in enough. The dress seemed a bit tight - I usually wear a 6 in "normal" clothes, and tend towards an 8 in RTR brands, but the 10 was still a slight bit snug around the waist. Bust was great - I'm 36B - bustier ladies might want to size up, though the fabric is decently stretchy. Overall, if you want something tropical colored that is easy to travel with, this is a great choice!

Super colorful!
Loved these so much I bought them! I needed earrings to match a fuchsia dress, and these totally fit the bill. They are long, statement earrings, and can work for both formal and casual events. Great way to dress up a casual outfit, great way to add color to a formal outfit.

Size up!
The print is gorgeous, and pockets are lovely! Unfortunately, I could not wear it, as the waist is quite tight with no stretch. I usually wear a 6, and even the 8 was too small to zip up. Size up 1-2 sizes from your usual.
