Runs small
Extremely cute and fun to wear! A little cleavage spillover when leaning down. Reformation often has weird cuts and sizing but if you can make this work--do it! Fabric wrinkles easily but that didn't bother me.

Tight but professional looking
I rented from the store and wore a large, which fit fine. If I was wearing again I would probably go for a medium. The fabric and details are sleek looking. This could be worn for work, a night out or a more formal event depending on how it's styled.

Very strange fit
Ended up not wearing. I believe it was the right size because of how the zipper closed but the upper waist was loose and then it was tight in the thighs/butt. I have a small butt compared to hips so this was odd. 2 stars for feel of fabric and pattern.

Simply gorgeous
This dress is really well made. Fabric is thick and luxe. I wore it with sheer black tights and thigh high boots for a comfortable date look. My husband rarely gets excited by clothing but he really liked this one and asked me to do a twirl when he first saw me. :-)

Cute and easy to wear. A little low cut.
I really liked this dress. It was comfortable and flattering. The ruched area was flattering. My only qualm was how low cut the V neck was. I ended up pinning it to make the dress more secure and avoid a slip.

Beautiful shape
Probably wouldn't have rented based on the photo but saw in store and loved the grommet details. The best thing about this dress is the shape! It highlights chest and waist while hiding stomach. Really flattering.

Looked great but very difficult to wear. Straps kept slipping.
Runs large in chest. Love the slinky look but had to use tape and even still the dress kept slipping. Beware.

Cool!
The fit was unusual but it's well made and worked. The fabric was thick, warm and cozy. At 5'4 the dress hit mid thigh. I imagine it would be too short for taller women.

Beautiful print but too tight in the bust
I rented this twice, first in a zero and then a two. I got away with the two but it was quite tight in the bust. The shirt is mostly flowy except in one spot at chest level. This seems like a design flaw more than anything. Make sure you size up.

Excellent Tailoring!
This dress is all about the construction. It really flatters natural curves. The sleeves are puffed out but the look is still fresh and modern--no need to worry about looking like you're transported from an 80's sitcom. Dress was also quite comfortable to wear.

This sweater is literally tinsel!
It's a little campy and out there in the best possible way. You could wear it if you wanted to be the chic one at an ugly sweater but still convince people you were on theme. I wore it the same way as the model and it was an effortless yet eye-catching look.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Wore it to work and then consecutively on Friday and Saturday nights out. It's warm for cool weather and somehow very festive. The skin showing is eye-catching but it's still a relatively modest look. I got the small so that it wouldn't be super tight.

My friend said I looked like the Chrysler Building--in a good way!
It's a chic skirt. Definitely tight at the waist band. I would have preferred a two--especially after lunchtime ;-) The details are so pretty- what Marchesa does best. I wore it dressed as down as possible with a black turtleneck and suede boots but it could be dressed up much more if you wanted to wear it for a swanky event.

I picked this out in store on a whim and ended up getting a lot of compliments. Only thing to note is that it's very lightweight and wouldn't be suitable for very cold weather.

This dress is so sweet. I loved the print. The fit is loose with a tie for the waist, which means it should flatter most figures. Another win from Kate Spade!

Wore it twice in one week
The color is unusual. A co-worker described it as olive mixed with champagne! It's a beautiful top. It is forgiving of any figure flaws without looking like a tent. This can be worn more casually or dressed up. Highly recommend!

Wish I could have worn this but it was way too big. The length and lack of shape/tailoring made it look frumpy.

Perfect for Palm Beach
This jumpsuit was so fun to wear on vacation. The fabric was heavier than expected, but it travelled well and was not wrinkly when it emerged from my suitcase. I normally wouldn't wear something like this, but it was perfect for Florida.

These pants are really comfortable and the details are beautiful. I wore them to work with wedges and have never gotten so many compliments! The material has a good amount of stretch. Like other Tory Burch pieces, these ran a little large.

Professional and pretty!
I wore this to work and liked it so much that I saved it to wear to a Broadway show later in the week. As other reviewers mentioned, the arm holes are low, so its best to wear a tank top underneath. The arm holes make the fabric fall so it covers the triceps and has a bit of an arm-slimming effect. I also liked the waist-- it tapers in, but wasn't tight. Very comfortable dress.

Wore it for graduation
This was a great variation on the typical white graduation dress. It was a little tight in the stomach, so if you are wider hipped or bloated, I would recommend sizing up. I made it work, but there is no give in the black belt, so it wasn't the most comfortable. The panel in the middle is see through, so you have to wear nubra with this one. It's not too revealing and was still appropriate for celebrating with family. Finally, the back of the dress is gorgeous. I would consider renting this again for another event.

Loved the color and details of this lacy dress from Alexis. I was comfortable in the XS but the S may have worked better. It is a well constructed dress and I got many compliments.

Flowy and flattering
This dress is really well made. The way it is cut both enhanced curves and had a slimming effect. It can be dressed up or down depending on what shoes you wear. I wore it with white tennis shoes to a barbecue. The only downside is that the fabric was very wrinkled by the end of the day.

HUGE--didn't get a chance to wear.
Unfortunately, the SP was large in both the torso and legs. I'm not the smallest petite (5'3 1/2) , so I was surprised that even the petite small was too long. I may reorder if the XSP becomes available. Overall the material was nice and It would have been a fun one to wear.

Perfect summer dress
So stylish and very comfortable. It was a little loose in the stomach area but the layered ruffle hid this so it didn't look weird. The material is pretty forgiving and didn't wrinkle much during the day compared to other silks. I will definitely be renting this again.

Weird see through illusion
I ended up sending this directly back. Unfortunately, the way the inner and outer layer of the dress are sewn together creates the illusion of a thong. You can actually see this effect in the photo of the model. I tried wearing all nude underwear and it didn't help. The effect is created by shadows and the design of the dress...too bad. It had the potential to be really cute but was ultimately a no-go.
