Huge and frumpy
I was looking forward to what I thought would be a classic shirt dress. Instead, this dress was HUGE and the fit frumpy. The arms were sort of puffy, too. Not at all flattering. Nice heavy fabric for winter, but other than that, I was disappointed. Didn’t wear.

Very see-through!
I rented this for work. I didn't love the dress when I got it, but it wasn't awful, so I decided to wear it. I added a wide black belt to the dress. The fabric was thin, but I had no idea how sheer and see-through it was until I got to work and saw myself in the full-length mirror in the bathroom! OMG! So embarrassing. It did not look see-through in my full length mirror at home. I had to wear my coat the entire day at work to cover up the sheerness of the dress.

Pretty, flattering dress
I was surprised at how flattering this dress was. It was loose and comfortable, but also had a very nice shape to it. The color and fabric are great. I received a lot of compliments.

Cute work dress!
I rented this for work. It was a nicely made dress and fit well. The fabric is heavy for fall or winter. I added a belt to it as it seemed a bit plain without it. I would rent again.

Much cuter than in the photos!
I liked this so much that I bought it! Lightweight denim that runs large with a baggy, but surprisingly flattering fit. I wore it to the office with a pair of black ankle pants and white top, so it is work-appropriate, but it is also casual for weekends. I was very pleasantly surprised that, although it was loose, the drape of the jacket was not at all boxy.

Nice basic black work dress
This is a great dress if you need something work appropriate and a bit more conservative. I loved the fit and fabric, and the draped neckline made it a bit more interesting than just a plain black sheath. I wore it with a cream colored blazer, tights, and ankle boots for winter, but it could also be a good springtime dress with different accessories.

I rented this to wear with jeans on our casual Friday at work. It was much better than I expected. Very flattering, nice fabric, and perfect fit! I will definitely rent again, and I may actually buy it next time!

Maybe if I was taller?
The jacket is a great color, and the fabric is very nice. The problem I see that it was extremely big and frumpy on me. I think this would only look good on someone very tall. On me, it was just awful.

Cute skirt
I didn't LOVE this skirt, but it is very cute. I got a lot of compliments on it when I wore it. It's a great skirt for summer at work. Nice fit and substantial canvas-like fabric, but it did not feel too heavy. I'll probably rent again.

Great dress and flattering fit!
I liked this dress very much. The fit is flattering, and it is form fitting while still forgiving. Nice substantial fabric with the right amount of stretch to make this a comfortable dress as well. There is a slit that's almost too revealing, but I was able to wear the dress to work and not feel like I was showing too much. I will rent again!

Weird fit
Cute dress (on the hanger) and nice fabric, but it just didn't fit me right. It was also too long for someone my height (5'4") and just looked frumpy. Too bad. It would have been a nice summer dress.

Very small and slit is too high for work
I rented my usual dress size (4), and I could not even come close to zipping up this dress. I think I would need to size up one - if not two - sizes. The color and fabric are nice, but the slit in front is way too high. Perhaps it would work as an evening dress, but for work, it was too revealing.

I really wanted to like this dress, but it was way too long for someone 5'4". If you are 6 feet tall, I think the dress would look great. It's very cute, and the fit (other than the length) was flattering. Too bad.

Just a weird dress.
I didn't wear this one. It was too weird looking on me. The waist hit me in a very unflattering spot, the skirt stuck out and did not hang on me like it looks in the photo. Overall, just not good for me. This may look good on a taller person.

Too big and bulky!
I really wanted to like this sweater on me. A colleague, who is a few inches taller than I am, rented this through her Unlimited plan, and it looked great on her! It was frumpy and big on me, though. I think that only a tall person can really pull this off, and at my 5'4", I looked like I was drowning in this sweater.

Nice, flattering dress
Very nice and flattering dress. Great substantial fabric for winter. My only complaint is the weird "slit" in the front. I think it would have looked better without it. Loved the color! A bit more olive colored than in the photos.

Loved this dress. A bit funky and fun, but still appropriate for work. Runs a bit small, and there is no stretch in the fabric, so I sized up. Glad I did. Will definitely rent again.

Nice winter work dress
This is a very nice winter work dress. Heavy fabric and flattering fit. The small was a tad too small, and the medium was a tad to big, but I wore the medium anyway. As others have said, the photo does not accurately reflect the real color of the dress. It is very blue, with a hint of red, and the pattern is much more muted than in the photo. I like the actual fabric better than that shown in the photo. I may rent again.

Cute dress, but runs small
This is a really cute dress. Nice fabric and color. I didn't wear it because it was a tad too tight, so I think a size up would be better. I'm going to rent the bigger size.

As others have said, this dress runs very small. I sized up one size, and I probably could have sized up two or ever three sizes! I could not even get the dress over my head. Too bad. I rented it for vacation, and it would have been a great vacation dress. It's really cute - just REALLY small!

Weird fit
This top had a very weird fit. It looks longer on the model than it does in person, and I'm not that tall (5'4"). The neckline is also very high, and it was just overall very frumpy.

Great winter dress!
I loved this dress! It's very flattering with a nice drape, and the long sleeves are perfect for winter. I wore it with black tights and boots. It's a bit dressy, but it can still be worn for work, so it's a good dress to wear to work when you have a night out! Nicole Miller usually runs small, so I ordered a 6 instead of my usual 4, and it fit well. I will definitely rent again.

Nice casual dress. Runs small.
Nice, casual dress. Fabric is heavy and great for fall/winter in NYC. I was not able to wear it, however, as it runs small. I'm a size 4, and the small was a bit too small. I want to rent again in a medium, and I'm hoping the medium will not be too big.

Perfect DVF Wrap Dress
It's hard to go wrong with a classic DVF wrap dress. I usually need to size up one or two sizes in DVF, but for this one, I could have gone with my regular size 4 as the size 6 was a bit too big. Because it's a wrap dress, however, it was fine. The fabric is heavy and good for NYC cooler weather. Overall, a great DVF basic black wrap dress!

I was disappointed in this dress. Fabric and color were great, but the closure in front was very low cut. My bra was completely visible in the little opening with the front clasps, and it was way too low to wear to work.
