One of my favorites!
This dress was awesome -- one of my favorite rentals ever! I usually wear a 4 and the 6 fit perfectly, so size up. Super comfy and really pretty.

Great holiday dress!
This was a great dress for the holidays. It has a flattering fit, was very comfortable, and wasn't too short.

I wore this dress to an art opening, and it was a comfortable fit, ran true to size, and had a fun print. Very happy with this dress!

Great dress!
I rented this dress for a vacation and it traveled easily, was super comfortable, and looked great! It ran large if anything.

Loved this dress!
I loved this dress! I wore it for a professional work event and it made me feel confident. The material was heavy and the dress was well made. I sized up to a 6 due to some of the reviews that made it sound like it was a smaller fit, but I'd say it runs true to size, because I had room to spare and could have gone with the 4. I'd rent this one again!

Very professional!
I wore this dress for some work meetings when I was away on business. The dress traveled very well (no ironing needed when I arrived at the hotel), was stylish yet professional for the conservative event I had to attend, and was comfortable for a long day! I usually wear a 4 and that size worked great--it ran a little large if anything.

Navy Square Dress

Just OK
I usually LOVE Leota dresses, but this one missed the mark for me. The material is a nice, thick quality, but the fuller skirt with the heavier material created what was for me an unflattering look. I almost felt silly wearing this dress to work, although I ultimately did. It's very comfortable, but I just didn't like the look.

Blooming Royal Circle Dress

Usual Size: 4

Short!
I rented this for work and I did wear it, but it was super, super short -- almost inappropriately short. Otherwise I loved the cut and it was a nice weight and well made.

Berry Sullivan Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"

Fun dress
I love Leota dresses -- they are so easy to wear and flattering! This dress is very light weight and was great for a weekend I spent at the beach.

Isabella Flounce Hem Dress
Leota
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 34B
Odd fit
I loved the color of this dress, but the fit was all wrong. I read the reviews and ordered a size larger than usual, but the arms were still tight and the "envelope" cuff in the front didn't lay flat at all. I couldn't wear this, unfortunately.

Red Nuelle Sheath
Black Halo
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"

Fun Dress!
I wore this dress dor a work event. It runs slightly small, but I was able to wear my usual size 4. The print is pretty and the cut is very flattering. A good choice!

Black Cassidy Dress
A.L.C.
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4

Runs small!
This is a cute dress, but the sleeves run extremely small! Make sure to size up.

Confetti Wrap Dress

Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4

Professional and Trendy!
I rented this for a professional work luncheon. It was a great mix of professional work-appropriate and trendy. The dress is comfortable, well made, and has a flattering cut. I liked it so much that I rented it again the following month for my husband's birthday dinner.

White Flower Dot Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Fun dress!
I rented this dress for a work-related evening party. I loved the fit -- it was form fitting but not inappropriate, the color was gorgeous, it wasn't too short, and the material was heavier and felt well made. The flutter sleeves were a nice trendy touch as well. I would definitely rent this one again!

Green Panache Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Great fit!
I usually wear a 4 and rented both the 4 and 6 and ultimately found the 6 to be a more comfortable fit around my chest, where it seemed to run small. The color was gorgeous and the fit was dazzling -- I felt like a million bucks and it photographed extremely well.

Red Sade Gown
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Beautiful color but odd fit
The pants ran large and were a very odd fit -- they are actually more like leggings with a very high waist. I wound up making them work by wearing high riding boots, and the color is a beautiful blue, but I wouldn't rent these again.

Pleat Front Dress Pants
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Gorgeous color!
This dress is a great rental for fall/winter, as the material a heavier material. I normally wear a size 4 and found the small size was a great fit. The waist is almost a little funky -- almost empire-like -- but not quite, and overall it's a flattering shape. I wore this dress twice -- once with black tights and heels for a work presentation, and again with boots for a holiday dinner. It's very versatile and worked well for these two different settings. The color is really gorgeous and different--I'd definitely recommend this one!

Teal Napa Knit Dress

Beautiful dress!
This dress was amazing! The fit was very flattering, and it was an extremely comfortable dress -- not to mention it's a gorgeous color! It was perfect for a black tie event I attended. I usually wear a size 4 and wore the 4R -- if anything, this dress runs large. It did not disappoint!

Ombre Astor Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
This dress is amazing!
Photos do not do this dress justice. The material is a great weight, the gold detailing is beautiful and the cut is extremely flattering! I'm 5'5" and the regular size (not long) fell perfectly at my feet when I wore 3 inch heels. I couldn't have been happier with this dress; it looks even better in person!
