Easy to wear - size DOWN!
Everything you expect a jean dress to be - sturdy, comfy and easy. The little button straps on the sides allowed to cinch at waist - which was helpful because it runs large. I used a micro-stitch tagger to keep collar down since it was very oversized and I felt it needed some structure- and added a belt!

Great Garden Party Purse
A really fun purse to take to a garden-themed party! Very well made, the beading was perfect - just be warned it IS a little heavy to carry. Got so many compliments, conversation starter!

SIZE UP
This sweater is well-made and heavy but runs small. I would size up at least a size, maybe two. I didn't wear and am sad about it because it's so cute!

NO GIVE IN WAIST
The quality of these jeans is great - but I thought they were too baggy in the legs and too tight in the waist for me so I didn't wear.

OBSESSED.
(Please excuse this photo - it was taken in a work studio) I am IN LOVE with this jacket and am second guessing my decision to send it back! The material was heavy and warm and so, so cute. Perfect for throwing over a long sleeve shirt -OR - making it part of the outfit. LOTS of compliments and true to size. The buttons down the front are sturdy and the jacket is just very fun to wear.

Dressing up your lounge-wear game!
LOVED this sweater! It was the perfect cozy match for making my barrel-leg sweatpants seem "dressier" (as in: the pullover has a collar and holds its shape!) True to size. The fabric was soft and quality was great. Looking forward to renting this again in another color.

Adorable!
This sweater is exactly as described - perfect fit. Very comfortable and trendy. The material is not heavy - but also not lightweight. Great quality. Perfect with jeans or skirt and was roomy enough for a t-shirt underneath.

Fringe Flair for the win!
I adored this purse! I loved that I could grab by the handles or use as a crossbody (yes - the strap is long enough!) The inside was spacious and the color was a beautiful, deep maroon. Would recommend this purse for every day use - very fun!

Cute every day bag
This bag was surprisingly large inside - and the magnetic close was perfect! It was a great grab and go purse that stayed put on my arm while out running errands. It stands upright, too - and kept its form.

Felt so girly!
I wore this top to a production of Les Mis and I felt so fancy! The long tie scarf in the front was long and thick enough for a super fun bow that stayed in place all night long. The cinched elastic waistband also stayed in place, a little shorter than expected but I wore a black body suit under so it wasn't a problem. The sleeves are billowy and sheer - such a great piece!

GREAT skirt - not as stretchy as I'd hoped
This dark brown skirt was SUPER fun to wear - the waist isn't as stretchy as I'd like but the cut made it very flattering. Perfect for any fall event.

The stretchiest, easiest skirt you'll wear!
This skirt runs LARGE - mostly because it's stretchy. The cut is super flattering and the fabric is very comfortable. Because I'm only 5'3 - it was longer than a "midi" on me but I'll definitely rent again!

Size DOWN - fun to wear!
I wore this skirt to a work event and it was super fun to wear - it runs LARGE so size down. The skirt appears fuller than it really is - maybe due to it being too big but the material is soft and thin. Would be fun to dress up, or in my case - with tennis shoes!

Remember to tie it closed!
The only complaint I had about this super cute bag is that it has ties to close it shut- and you must close them each and every time or the bag opens up like a pouch and everything spills out! Other than that - great color, great size and perfect for every day.

THE coziest!
Rent this coat for your weekend away in the cold mountains! It's so plush and cozy - it's got a great heaviness that makes it feel very warm. The design at the top of the jacket pairs perfectly with jeans for a weekend/relaxed look. Would LOVE to rent this again.

NO give on the waist
Loved the idea of this skirt - but there is ZERO give on the waistband so it made for an odd fit. Tight on waist- puffy on hips. The overall length was great for boots but did not end up wearing this. If this had an elastic waist- would have loved this, I think.

The perfect every day purse!
Loved renting this purse. Lots of comments about it being too small - but it fit my phone and a few other smaller items just fine! Love that it has a few different colors so it was easy to pair with a lot of different weekend looks and also the strap is adjustable!

Tons of compliments, very fun to wear!
If there's ONE sweater you rent this season, make it THIS! The perfect size, warm and cozy but also the print stands out and is super fun to wear. It's cropped - but still long enough to front tuck which helps with an overall boxy sweater. The sleeves were the perfect length and stayed put when pushed up for styling.

Rent this dress!!
So, so fun! Whimsical, flattering and comfortable (even IF it does look like something Wednesday Adams would wear!) I didn't end up wearing this because I didn't feel it was formal enough for a black tie optional wedding - but I'm so glad to know to rent it in the future for a less-formal event. The elastic waist is hidden by the material - and could easily be covered by a cute belt. I will absolutely rent this again!

NOT for short-torso ladies!
I loved this dress online but when I received it- the side sash is odd and the over the shoulder strap was super loose and wouldn't stay put. Fashion tape would have made for extra loose fabric in weird places. The bodice of the dress fit nicely but there is definitely NO give. I didn't end up wearing this dress and had to return.

Red Carpet Worthy!
I wore this dress to the Tony Awards and it delivered! So fun to wear, the sequins sparkled and the cape added to the drama of this gown. There isn’t any give in the bodice- so if you’re in between sizes, I’d size up. I wore 4 inch block heels and the length was perfect. The zipper was TINY for the weight of this dress- that would be the only slight complaint- I needed extra hands to get it on and off. I received so many compliments. Would absolutely recommend this dress for your big red carpet event!

A DREAM to wear!
I rented this dress for a charity gala and it was so fun and flirty to wear! The mesh outer lay was almost ethereal looking- it just floated above the floor as I walked and was very comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend. The dress underneath is very form-fitting but the overlay hides all!

Great Party Dress!
While the fit of this dress is very boxy, it was so fun to wear to a Second Chance Prom event we were hosting! So many compliments, fun to dance in and definitely felt dressy! It’s short (so am I) but I wore bike shorts underneath and never worried about bending over or exposing myself - and we were even on a very windy boat. I just added a strapless bra, gold heels and fun jewelry. I love the detail of the sleeves and the gold, shiny fabric woven in. Absolutely recommend!

Formal but fun!
I ordered sizes 12 & 14 - the 12 had a very tough-to-manage zipper and at the last minute I decided to wear the 14 instead of struggling all night with a zipper. I’m glad I did! While a little long for me -and roomier around the waist- I didn’t notice a huge difference in sizing. The sleeves still hit in the right spot and it stayed in place all night, no shifting or adjusting. Lots of compliments, a really fun vibrant color to wear!

Kentucky Derby
If you are short waisted - this dress has a large amount of fabric between the chest and the "a-line" seam beginning which made it look very odd- almost like the flare begins at lower abdomen. I didn't wear it. The colors are beautiful and the fabric is quality (that's where 2 stars comes in) so I'm sad it didn't work out.

NOT for those with short torsos!
I ordered a size 12 and while it zipped, the fit was extremely unflattering. The liner was much darker than pictured and because I don't have a long torso, the liner of the dress exposed my boobs! The flowers of the dress are more maroon than red. I would not recommend this dress for those who have short waists.

Gala Glam!
This dress is so fun to wear and it made me feel glamorous! It was tight...and I mean TIGHT. My husband had to really work to zip it up but once it was on, it really held in place all night long. No pulling or tugging or adjusting. The fabric is heavy because of the sequins so it's very flattering- even on my apple shape :) So many compliments all night long! I wore bodice-style shapewear underneath but because it's such a sturdy dress, it wasn't necessary.

They were green with envy!
I rented this dress for a black tie gala and I've never received more compliments! Everyone loved the color,, so rich and perfect for fall. The length was great (with my 3 inch block heels) and it was very flattering in the stomach area - which I always try to cover in tighter fitting gowns. I did have to pull up the top a few times because it would slip down but other than that, it was really fun to wear. True to size, sequins didn't bother me one bit under my arms. The ruffles and side slit on the leg added to the beauty of this rental!
