Pros and Cons
Great fit. Print is better in person than in photos. Flutter sleeve is not the best look. Fabric is VERY sheer. All in all, definitely good for wearing a few times.
The Margarette Maternity Maxi
HATCH
Size Worn: 1R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Very versatile but not perfect
This dress also comes in a black print which I LOVE and will rent multiple times. This dress is very versatile -- work, errands, celebrating UT football -- but the black print version looks much more chic and less frumpy. Since it's one size, it can definitely grow with the bump.
Burnt Orange Riviera Maternity Dress
HATCH
Size Worn: ONESIZE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Much more casual in person
Rented this as an option for my baby shower but it was far too casual in person. Ended up wearing it to work a couple of times. It's pretty cute. Fabric doesn't really breathe.
The Ricky Maternity Slip Dress
HATCH
Size Worn: 1R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Good for work
Rented this as an option for my baby shower but ended up wearing for work a couple times. Pretty cute but not terribly dressy (for a baby shower).
The Belen Maternity Dress
HATCH
Size Worn: 1
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Extremely versatile
Wore this 3-4 times before spilling so much food on it, I needed to return it. Definitely will rent again before baby arrives. Can dress up and down and wear it anywhere.
Riviera Maternity Dress
HATCH
Size Worn: ONESIZER
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Not quite right for my baby shower
Rented this to wear to my outdoor baby shower, but it wasn't quite right. The fit in the back was weird. Might be good for a wedding while pregnant.
The Lauren Maternity Dress
HATCH
Size Worn: 1R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Has potential
Beautiful fabric, but the ruffle hit at a strange height on me. Also, the back is a little see-through so I wore a body suit underneath.
Tilly-B Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Brighter in person
Fabric is brighter and more shiny in person
Ida-B Skirt
SALONI
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Weird fabric
The fabric on the shoulders is a buzzard fake leather. Looks really fake and cheap.
Plaid Corset Waist Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Cute and great fit
Much more summer-y than the photos indicate. It's a linen fabric.
Printed Andrea Dress
L.K. Bennett
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Very cute! If you have somewhere to wear it...
See title above. It's cute, but it has a bit of a costume feel. Too nautical?
Striped Apron Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Even the highest heels aren't high enough
Much too long for my 5'2" body. Even with my highest heels, these pants were way too long.
Sequin Track Pants

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Not as low cut as expected!
Perfect for the Gaga show in Vegas. Was not too low cut on me -- I'm 5'2" with 32D. Appears to have sequins in some of the photos, but it does not. Just a detailed print on silk.
Printed Lilias Top
A.L.C.
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32D
Pretty in pink
Went sporty with the styling since it was raining, but this dress could easily work for a wedding or other nicer event. It was prefect for the baby shower I attended, and I got loads of compliments from the other attendees. Runs pretty large.

So much better than on the hangar
Turned out to be a very chic summer work outfit. When it arrived I was skeptical, but it looked great!

Theory

Very heavy fabric
Cute dress but very heavy fabric. The bow in the front is also A LOT - a lot of look and a lot of fabric.

Very versatile!
Adorable, versatile jumpsuit that I wore once to work and once to brunch. Perfect except that you need to undo ALL the buttons to use the restroom.
Peony Dot Jumpsuit

Better for a wedding than for work
Rented this for work and it wasn't quite right. That's not the dress's fault - it would have been better for a party or a wedding. The dress is beautifully constructed. So comfortable. Feels so expensive.

love love love
Absolutely loved this dress. Wore it to a 60th birthday party, and it was just perfect! Runs very large - I am always a 6 and even the 4 was an it big on my. LOVED.
Bedford Dress

Not quite right
I wanted this to work so badly. Ending up wearing this over a shirt and legging bc the front wouldn't stay closed. A cute idea with just OK execution.
Barthes Wrap Vest

Perfect for my 3-party Saturday
Wore this to a bridal shower brunch, then a first birthday party, then a 30th birthday party. It held up through everything. Lots of compliments. Very chic.
Navy Silk Shift

Perfect bachelorette party outfit
Wore this out to dinner and dancing for a bachelorette party. Very fun - so many compliments. Pretty flattering and length was perfect (I'm 5-2). The fabric is substantial so maybe for so great for summer in warm climates.
Pink Oceanside Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 141lbs

So many compliments!
Much more beautiful in person than the photos let on - lots of texture. The high-low hemline shows off your shoes too.
Black Sparkle Dot Dress
Hunter Bell
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 141lbs

My best rental yet!
As noted by other reviewers, this dress runs large - I sized down from my usual 6 to 4 and the 4 was perfect. Also, it looks very expensive in person - I'm not sure the photos do it justice. Very beautiful!!
Yellow Abstract Stitch Dress
Hunter Bell

Usual Size: 6

Comfortable, but simply not flattering
True to size and very comfortable (with pockets!), but it just doesn't do anything for ya. Might be cute for Easter brunch or something, but it's too poofy for work and just pretty "blah."

Everyone seemed to love this bizarre shirt
Rented this shirt for work and found it every weird - the shoulders, the cuffs, and the tie at the neck were all just a little too funky. However, I got tons of unsolicited compliments, so I guess everyone else loved it. Nice print and fabric.
Floral True Top
Trina Turk
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 141lbs
Bust: 32D
Very cute but not very practical
This dress is adorable but not terribly practical. It's white (and a bit sheer) so it's not a good fit for a wedding or eating anything messy. It's a maybe for work (where I wore it), but that's tough due to undergarment restrictions. A regular bra will just not do. Would be great for a baby shower or Mother's Day!
White Ruffle Shift

Better in theory
Picked out this bright Maxi for a trip to Miami. Length was perfect, but the fit did nothing for me. Not a particularly defined waist, and the lace-up front kept coming undone. Pretty cute with a few flaws (long straps, etc).
Printed Ikatoksana Maxi
Tanya Taylor

Perfect for Miami!
Very true to size but thanks to the tie-front, it can be adjusted to your bust. Very flattering for my shape.

Good for Work in Spring
Cute work dress for springtime. Strange fit that rides up, and not particularly stylish for outside the office.

So comfortable and so chic
Fits great and very polished looking. Fantastic for work or date night!
Black Stripe Sweater Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"

Beautiful fabric and strange sizing
The slip fit TTS but the overlay was enormous - multiple people at the party remarked on how large it was. Beautiful silk with a flower pattern, but not flattering due to the oversized fit.
Pink Printed Ruffle Dress

Very versatile
Cute dress for work or going out - you can easily dress it up or down. It runs a little big, but pretty TTS. It's not totally flattering, but it is super comfortable.
Lily Striped Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 2"

Comfortable, but very form-fitting
Fantastic fabric and cool stitch detailing you can better appreciate in person. The dress fits true to size, but I found it very form-fitting and curve-hugging. Wouldn't work for me for work, but ok for the weekend.

Classic White Dress with a Twist
The fit is true to size, but it's weird - a little tight in the arms and hips, but loose at the waist. A little short for work, but great for my upcoming girls weekend. Hello spring!

Skirted Denim Top
The flare of this top is more dramatic in person than online. I felt it was slightly small, but true to size. Cute for work or date night.

Perfect Birthday Outfit!
Wore this for my birthday brunch and it was perfect. Yes it is form-fitting, but I felt it was true to size. The fabric is amazing - very substantial.

Versatile, stylish top
This top is super comfortable and very stylish! I wore it to work with a cardigan, but I plan to wear it again out to dinner this weekend. The fabric is stretchy (no zippers, etc) so it's pretty form fitting, but at the same time the fabric is very flattering!

Effortless Everyday Top
Looks very put together when you just throw it on. I wore it to work - two days in a row actually. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the end of the arm openings were a little tight. Otherwise, the fit was great! Maybe even a little big.
