Really nice
This dress wasn't my first choice, and it's certainly not a show-stopper, but it is really nice and very flattering. Just short enough to be cute, without being too short. Could easily dress it up for a party, dress it down for errands, or wear it to work.

Wore this so many times I lost track
This has been my favorite rental. I wore it to parties, for casual days doing errands, honestly I've been wearing it constantly for a month it seems. I love it.

It's just not flattering
I tried and tried to find a way to make this top work, but it's simply just not flattering.

This bag was pretty small. Nice, but didn't meet my needs.

Unwearable in the top
I'm not large-chested (36B), but based off previous reviewer's comments, I ordered the M. I couldn't even breathe! Went back in the bag within minutes of it coming out. It's a gorgeous dress though!

Wide, stiff
It's a shame, but this was so stiff, the hips looked like 5 inches wider than my actual hips. No drape. Returned without wearing

Not what I expected, but flattering
When I pulled this out of the garment bag, I was surprised. The fabric is like a mesh knit. At first, I hated it. But, I put the top on, and it's super flattering. The mesh drapes nicely, and you actually can't even tell it's mesh because of the print. It's also got a little cap sleeve, which is nice if you have flabby arms like me.

Versatile
I liked this dress a lot. It's very "little house on the prairie" though. Mostly because of the color and print. I wore this both to work and to a party. It's very lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Versatile and cute
Had ordered this for a casual party but ended up wearing it to work also. Versatile. I didn't find it to be "obscenely short" as other reviewers mentioned. But, I did order up from my usual size.

Great summer dress, weird fabric
I liked this dress a lot, with the exception of the fabric. It's exactly like a shower curtain. Because of that, I found the dress to be really clammy and uncomfortable. On sizing, it's not form fitting so I would size according to your chest size. I have a 36d bust and was able to zip the 4 closed, but would have been more comfortable in the 6. Would love to rent again!

Meh
This top is was incredibly tight in the chest for me. I was able to wear it, but regretted it by the afternoon. The style is fine. The material is polyester though, and honestly there was nothing special about this piece.

Very straight, heavy
The dress is heavy, which makes it feel like a quality garment. But it also makes it hot. There's a lining that I wouldn't call shapewear but it definitely smooths you out. Over the day, the heaviness also caused the straps to stretch a little, so I had to readjust the dress and pull it up. Nice dress but not my favorite

Statement dress
I liked this dress but found the fit to be off. I had some weird gaping through the bust so I ended up wearing it with a black cami. If I was going to rent again, I'd rent a M to see if it fixed the fit issue.

Lots of complements.
This dress is really flattering and unique. My one issue wit it is that it's very long. I'm 5'4" and the small was almost a gown length, not at all like the calf length on the model. The fabric is pretty heavy so I wouldn't recommend for a super hot day in the sun. But it is unlined, and it has pockets!

Versatile, even with a bold pattern.
I wore this 2x and really wanted to wear it a third time. It can be casual or dressy, suitable for work or a party. It's super comfortable in hot weather. As previous reviewers mentioned it is long, so you have to wear with heels.

Stiff, nothing special
I found the dress sort of stiff and hard to move in, even though it was definitely the right size for me. Not really that flattering.

Smart dress, but very short
I really liked this dress. I wore it 2x, and would have worn it more if it was a tad longer... it's very blousy in the top, comfortable to wear.

Gorgeous print. Meh on fit
This dress has a show stopping print. But, I didn't find it to be that flattering of a dress. Reading the other reviews, I was sort of surprised some people found it too long. I'm not tall (5'4") but I found it short... almost too short for work.

Nothing special, except maybe the fabric, which was really soft. I probably should have ordered a small.

Classy, Classic and Sexy.
I got so many complements on this dress and felt fabulous wearing it. Following the advice of other reviewers, I ordered down a size and was glad I did. The bust is in fact really loose. But the dress itself is a showstopper. Traditional enough for work, but sexy enough for a date night or special occasion.

Tight across the bust, longer than I expected
I rented this for work and was really excited about it. However, in person there were a bunch of issues which made it fall flat, and not get worn. First, the color was not flattering. For fair skin, it made me look super washed out. Second, the length was much longer than I expected. I'm 5'4" and it was nearly to my ankle. Third, this was the deal-breaker - it was way too tight across the bust. The waist and everything else fit fine but I looked a bit overstuffed in this dress.
