Suuuuper cute
Loved this dress and got lots of compliments. Low cut, so I wore a tank top underneath. Comfortable workwear.

I wore this to a work breakfast. The small was fine, but I think I might have liked the fit of an XS better.

Good, not special
I rented this because I was trying to find something that would at least sort of match the ski pants I rented. The jacket kept me warm in temperatures in the teens. It was comfortable and not too bulky. The hood was well designed. I just didn’t love it.

Much cuter than expected
I rented this for a football game/happy hour at my high school reunion. I thought it would be serviceable and it turned out to be very cute. The darts and waist tie elevate this casual, comfortable dress. I’ve since seen that it also is available in other colors. It’s a light, thin fabric and on the shorter side.

Stand out on the mountain
Love being able to rent an item like this that I would never buy. Pants were way too long (I’m 5’2) but worked with snow or ski boots. Really cute flattering fit, true to size. Was comfortable in single digit temperatures with thermals underneath. I would have been so happy if I could have rented the matching jacket (or any jacket that matched), but nothing was available when I needed it. Start planning early if you want to rent for vacation!

Lining shows
The lining shows at the neckline and at the hem. It’s a constant battle and made this dress look bad.

Loved this purse
Perfect size, super soft leather. The strap did get a little uncomfortable after a while, otherwise I would have considered purchasing. But it’s great as a rental!

What season? What event?
This dress is adorable and fit like a glove. I got compliments but I'm just not sure when or where to recommend wearing this one. It's a spring/summery fabric but the mock neck and long sleeves feel like fall or winter. It has some see through lacy areas (the white criss crosses), so your bra will show a little. If you think you have the right place to wear this it's a winner. Needed a lot of steaming upon arrival.

Perfect dress
Loved this! Effortless but looks like you tried. It's a heavier fabric and the whole thing snaps up the front. I would have bought this if it were a little less expensive.

Probably would be great on someone else.
I can't decide how I feel about this dress. It fit nicely and was light and comfortable-- a perfect summer sundress. It was also on the verge of being too low cut for me, which made me self conscious, and I don't think the color was great for my skin tone. Wore with a sticky bra. Was not see through but you'll need nude undergarments.

Classy and comfortable
Wore this for a graduation ceremony and it was perfect. A nice weight to the fabric but not too heavy. I could have worn without a bra but decided to wear a strapless and that worked fine.

Size up
Very glad I sized up to Medium. This is a comfortable fabric. It's pretty light and slightly clingy (shapewear helps). I'm not 100% sold on the design of this dress, but it was a decent work dress and works well for petites.

This fit well and looked nice. It would be good with dress pants or jeans. Somehow missing the wow factor, though.

So Much Fun
I loved this rental! I was worried the jacket might swallow me up or overwhelm my 5'2 frame, but it was perfect. I wore it on an airplane and walking around NYC and the weight was perfect for a cool Spring day. It is a bulky jacket so keep that in mind for travel.

Perfect fit, fun blazer
I needed a warm(er) Easter outfit for our NYC trip and this blazer was perfect. It's lightweight with a nice shape to it. I borrowed styling from some of the previous reviews here and wore with light pink pants and added a pink flower pin. I'd buy this jacket in a more subtle print, but this is a perfect rental.

Super comfortable statement dress
I was very nervous about the zipper thing brought up in so many reviews because I have a relatively large rib cage. It was not an issue at all. This dress was perfection. No bra or purse needed (massive pockets!) and non-stop compliments. I was nervous that it was a little too over-the-top— even the first time I tried it on— but somehow it just works. It’s the best kind of rental that makes the whole night feel magical.

Weird fit
I don’t have a big chest and even sizing up this was tight on the chest and just had a weird fit. I wore it anyway and found it to be too thick and warm. Not one of my favorites.

Super short
I saw all the reviews warning me that this dress is short and thought it would not be short on me because I’m only 5’2. It was so short! I almost did not wear it, but my husband convinced me it was okay. Got tons of compliments and it was strangely comfortable. I think the top part looks better if you’re curvy. I am not, so I improvised with a push up bra and a safety pin. If you have exactly the right place to wear this dress it’s a good choice.

Oversized but works
Wore this for a conference and got tons of compliments. I feel that it looks good in person but photographs poorly because it is so big and boxy. I was surprised it fit me so well since I am petite 5’2.

Easy and adorable
It is cropped— I am 5’2 and short waisted and this would only work with high-waisted pants. It’s a great weight and effortless preppy perfection. I debated buying.

Cute, heavy, and long
This is a beautiful piece. I am short waisted and 5'2 so it was long on me. It felt heavy for Florida in March, maybe more of a winter piece. Also didn't hold its shape well as the day went on. It was nice for a one time rental but wouldn't buy or rent again.

A little too long for petite girls
This was cute and comfortable (though slightly sweat-inducing). I'm 5'2 and the proportions were a little off for me. I wouldn't purchase or rent again for that reason, but it was fine to wear once.

Liked, not loved
This dress was fine but nothing special. The top is low cut but also loose fitting so I had to wear a tank top underneath which sort of ruins the cutout effect. I ordered a small and there’s a chance it might have been better in an XS.
