Hot skirt, awkward top
The skirt is so hot, but the shirt is a little awkward. I get the idea behind the oversize, and the shirt just didn't sit in a flattering way. It would have been really great to be able to opt out of the shirt and do something else on top...

Gorgeous dress - so many compliments
This was a perfect christmas dress, very comfortable and a great weight for winter. It is so beautiful, unique, and flattering. I might just buy it even though I hardly have occasion to wear it. Would be excellent for a fall/winter wedding or holiday event.

Incredibly tight arms/shoulders
I read the reviews saying this coat fit tight but I had just rented a coat from this brand that fit really well -- this coat was INCREDIBLY tight in the arms and shoulders, so If you rent I would recommend sizing up.

Interesting details didn't quite work
I was intrigued by the details of this sweater, the peekaboo cut out at the shoulder, and the tie. Ultimately the cut out didn't really work, it created an odd bagginess along the midrift that wasn't the most flattering. It meant I had to be aware of how it was laying - when it was laying nicely it was very cool and chic, when it wasn't it looked a little bunchy/frumpy.

Disguised as a baguette bag
This bag didn't look/fit the way it looks in the photos -- I was going for a sleek under arm baguette bag and this has a long cross body strap and handles but it doesn't work on the shoulder. I didn't actually use it.

So soft and Comfortable - Roomy!
I ordered these in my usual size, they were very roomy in the waist and leg! There were a few times I wore them where they felt too big - I reordered in the next size down to see if thats a better fit. Really enjoyed wearing them!

Loved this - pilled super easily
I wore this coat all the time, it fit well, it was warm, I got so many compliments. When it arrived it was new with tags - and I'm so glad because within a few wears it was pilled around the arms. Very lovely silhouette - I would have considered purchasing based on fit and style if the quality wasn't so poor.

Couldn’t wear it - way too small

Gorgeous
Loved this, the first time I tried it on out of the bag it didn’t fit, but I also had the ties mixed up in the back. When I had help putting it on I was able to zip, the large would have probably been more comfortable but it wasn’t available. Even still, the open back is forgiving. It was tight at the rib cage where it zips, but roomy in the diaphragm so I could eat and dance comfortably all night long. Really loved this dress.

I didn’t wear this - fit was fine but it ended up feeling too old for me.

Cute
This was fine, it was the only formal option available to rent for my event and it worked fine with my dress. I liked that it could be a clutch, a short handle, or a long handle.

Weird bust fit
I ordered this dress as a back up option to wear to a gala and the fit in the bust was horrible. I have large breasts and a short torso, so the fabric at the bust was loose and stuck out at the sides. Not flattering.

Loved these earrings, they were big enough and felt high quality without being too heavy. They were great accessories for a gala look.

Beautiful gown - lots of complements!
This dress fit beautifully and was very flattering! I wore it to a gala and got a lot of complements. While the cut out under the bust is more pronounced for bigger busted people, I found it to be a very sexy twist to an otherwise conservative silouette.

Very stylish, hard to use
Enjoyed this bag, it was a great coordinated accessory for a gala I attended. It was however hard to open and the shape made it difficult to easily access the things I had inside (lip gloss, cough drops, phone) without digging around.

Beautiful dress
I ordered this dress to wear to a gala, and I was super sad when it arrived and one of the neck ties was missing. It was also WAY too long, I order the 8L because I'm 5'8" and planned to wear 2-3" heels, but even in my 4" heels the dress was puddled and dragged on the ground and tripped me. That said, the dress itself is super flattering and had I ordered a 8R and it had been intact I would have loved wearing it. I'm a postpartum mom this dress did so many wonderful things for my figure, the neckline is sexy balanced by flattering balloon sleeves, my boobs were still very supported (without a bra!?) the cut outs hit my sides in a flattering way and the dress floats beautifully away from the empire waistline, making it incredibly comfortable as well! I'll definitely have it saved for a future occassion!

Nice, but unremarkable
These pants fit okay, they were nice. They weren't remarkable, though. Very forgettable. I had them on hand for interviews, but never actually wore them.

Very stylish
I liked these pants, they were a little tight on me but I think they do fit true to size, they were still very flattering. I got a lot of compliments. A great tuxedo-pant-esque style.

Horrible fit
I rented two sizes larger than my usual denim size to go for that loose mom jean look -- these for like jeggings, with comically short legs. Horribly tight, I took these off immediately and put them in the return bag.

Huge and unflattering
This coat was enormous, and I like an oversized coat just fine. This was ridiculous and shapeless. So unflattering I didn't wear it out of the house.

Gorgeous color and fabric, just way to small in the busy.
I really wanted to love this dress, but unfortunately with dresses that button, the bust area was too tight causing the buttons to pull/keyhole open. I considered keeping this size to wear it with one of the sweaters I'd rented at the same time, but ultimately decided to send it back immediately. I might try to rent it again in a medium... I tried this dress again in a medium and was much happier with the fit! One thing I will say is that the fabric doesn't breath much so it did get very smelly after two wears. I had to send it back.

Backup dress I wish I had an occasion to wear!
I loved this dress! It was my back up dress for a 1950's inspired cocktail party, and lucky for me both dresses fit perfectly. I wish I had another occasion to wear this dress, it fit beautifully and felt amazing to wear. The fabric is beautiful, and the pattern reads really classy and interesting in person.

Perfect balance of Classic + Modern
I rented this dress for a 1950's inspired cocktail party, and this dress was the perfect mix of my own style with just the right nod to the era. The top fit so well (I didn't wear a bra but you could wear a comfortable full coverage racerback) and the fabric of the skirt was gorgeous! I loved the zipper detail and the subtle cut out on the back. I would definitely rent this dress again for a similar occasion, and maybe even a cold weather wedding!

Too Small
Listen to all the reviews and make sure you size up on this dress... I was optimistic and rented my usual size but it was definitely too small. It's a shame too, because this dress is gorgeous. The fabric is beautiful and it is very well made. I'll keep it in mind for future events, and be sure to only rent when the proper upsize is available.

Did not wear
Either this dress runs very large or it arrived stretched. The material of the top was much softer/less form fitting than I was anticipating, which was awkward with the heaviness of the skirt fabric. Honestly, I was afraid if I bent over in it, the top would be very out of place.
