Super comfortable Sweater skirt
I️ rented this for something different for work and it did not disappoint! Skirt is a sweater type knit so it is a bit bulky with shirt tucked in but it worked great with a little leather jacket, I️ probably would preferred to wear a shirt untucked with a belt or vest. Elastic waist wasn't tight and super comfortable overall. Finished with black tights and ankle booties! Felt great all day!

Looks so much better in person!
Wasn't sure I would love this based on the photo but really loved it once I tried it on. Very light fabric but double layer so not sheer. There is elastic in the waist to conch it in and it's totally flattering. Worn with strapless bra.

A formal sundress
I rented for a family party and ultimately Decided it was too much cleavage. Feels very formal despite cotton fabric which is quite thick. I didn't end up wearing it but my husband loved it

So cute!
I absolutely loved this top. It did run a bit tight across my bust but not uncomfortable and I loved it! I got tons of compliments on this. The double layer of lace at the hem is my favorite!

More sheer than I expected
I really wanted to rent this top so I rented a large instead of my regular medium and totally should not have! The neckline elastic kept popping up off my shoulders because it was too big. I also wa snot expecting it to be so sheer and was not comfortable wearing without an undershirt tank top. Because I wanted to keep the off shoulder look, I wore with a strapless bra and took the tank straps down and tucked them into the bra. Was also short on my long torso. Do not size up!

Adorable!
Loved the look of this layered top. I wore it to work with black and white plaid pants and heels and got tons of compliments! Fit true to size, maybe a bit short but I have a long torso

Really tight waist
I wanted to love this but the waist was really too tight for me. Even when zipped at natural waist the top looked pouch and unflattering. The print was super cute and I ordered a size up but still didn't work. I had to partially unzip it halfway through my work day, thankfully I wore a blazer to cover the top!

Adorable!
I really loved this top! The shoulders of the tank fit tts. I thought the ruffle was really sweet and I wore it to work so it was also professional looking with nice pants. I did find that the length would have been too short so I wore a tank underneath. Fabric was thick and substantial so not sheer at all.
Blue Striped Elle Top

Loved the color and lace details!
Loved this sweater for work with dark blue skinny jeans. Definitely runs true to size as the large was a bit big on me. The knit isn't super bulky so it still looked and draped nicely. Overall really beautiful, loves the blush color!
Blush Pullover Sweater

A real wow coat!
Totally love the colors and pattern of this coat. It's also quite warm and feels like a blanket. I would have preferred a medium but only a large was available. The leather trim is buttery soft.
Cheval Peacoat
Tory Burch

Love the pattern
Rented for work and was really just fine. I liked the colors a lot. It did run long which was fine for me with a long torso but shorter people may find it less flattering.
Fuchsia Bouquet Arizona Top
Tanya Taylor

Beautiful pop of color!
Fit me well in the shoulders where I often have trouble with blazers. I did think it ran generous and sleeves were long so ultimately did not keep it although I had considered it. Great color!
Fuchsia Refine Suit Jacket

Love this color leather!
Really loved this jacket and kept it for a few months but ultimately decided to send back. The color is very on trend right now and is a wonderful neutral, in my opinion. I did find the sleeves a bit stiff and this was the reason I sent it back. I received it in new condition with tags and actually think I may come back to if at the end of the season after it's been broken in with rentals it will probably be more gorgeous!

As expected, runs large and sleeves are super long.
I expected this to run large and it definitely does but it does not look baggy. The cut is tailored and flattering. My only concern with this top, and was also expected, was the length of the sleeves. I simply rolled them up to my elbows because I can't do a long sleeve anyway. Fun look for a more casual day at work!
Terracotta Kennedy Blouse

Should have worn leggings with a chiffon skirt
I really loved the look of this dress and wore to work with black tights and booties. Unfortunately, the chiffon material of the skirt was clingy to my tights and made it look as if it had tucked into my legs or waistband at times. The sweatshirt top was really comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. If I rent it again I would style as a tunic rather than a dress and wear leggings!

Very equestrian jacket
The material of this blazer is very thick and I loved it. The jacket also had a lot of little details like the notch at the back placket. Overall I loved this and will rent it again!

Sequins and lace!
Pretty dress, glam and sophisticated but kind of shapeless. Didn't flatter me. Was a bit short too but fine for a party. I chose to wear my alternate dress.
Pink Kaleb Shift

Pretty pattern, odd fit and cut
I wore to work so I wasn't worried about it being super flattering but the front fit is very strange. Thankfully I had read previous reviews because the front ties arrive inside out and you have to look for them and turn them back. It ties in the front so no avoiding a very blousy look. Very comfortable me easy to dress up or down.
Wisteria Maxi Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10

Really cute and flattering
I wore this to work and was very happy with it. I always size up in jumpers so they're easier to get out of for the restroom. Fabric did wrinkle easily but didn't look terrible when it did.

Beautiful but length made too formal for my event
Loved the flow of this dress. I usually wear an 8/10 but often have more trouble with fitted waist styles because of my natural waist so ordered a 12 in this one. Tons of room! Should have sized down. No issues for me with the bust and cleavage overexposure but I have plenty. Also very long on me, total no go without platforms so I didn't end up wearing the dress. Really loved the pattern!
Twirling Butterfly Maxi
Badgley Mischka

Pretty print!
I wore this with a chambray denim halter. Overall, weirdly the elastic waist pinched in on me and was unflattering so inward glad the halter was long enough to cover. I wouldn't have been able to tuck a shirt into it. Also note that the skirt is supposed to be pleated but mine was pressed out flat. Fun skirt, but I won't be renting again.

Wanted to love it but was disappointed
I definitely should have ordered a Medium but decided to try the large. It was very stretched out, I got basically no hold on or shaping from it at all. I did wear a strapless bra because without something for the dress to grab onto it would have slid down completely. As it was, I was pulling the whole thing up all night. Also note the placement of the individual seams made a weird pot belly appearance when lit from above in this bathroom picture from our hotel. I would have been much happier in a medium. As it was, I was disappointed but will try Herve leger again in a smaller size!
Lets Get Loud Dress
Hervé Léger

Boxy fit
I thought this ran big. It was boxy and not particularly flattering as the peplum waist didn't nip in at all. Ran long also. Maybe would have been better in smaller size but rented with unlimited so I didn't have that option this time. I was disappointed as I thought I would love this.

Need a full slip under this
I loved the look and full skirt but definitely needed something underneath. The waist was small on me so buttons gaped a bit when I sat down. I was lucky I have a full cotton jersey dress I wore underneath because without it the skirt had eyelet that was too high to be work appropriate. Racer back was adorable and could have been really cute for a picnic or sundress. Definitely needs something underneath if you're wanting to wear this to work!
Blue Santeria Eyelet Shirtdress
Yoana Baraschi

Beautiful detailed embroidered hem
Stretch across the back made this work well even with larger bust. I wore for family pictures and definitely more pink overall in person. I'm 5'7" and this would have been too short for work. I'm not sure if the large is any longer but I could have worn both sizes as the medium was fitted on bust. Loved this!
Ikaris Dress
Parker
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10

Beautiful color and classic style
I wore to work with a camel blazer. Loads of compliments as a summery dress but the fit was odd. The pleating in the front bulges forward and is only in the front. Also wrinkles very easily and obvious once done. Overall I was glad I had the blazer. On the plus side, fit well on my bust without straining at the buttons like other shirt dresses. Overall, was happy I rented it on my unlimited subscription but didn't even consider buying it.

Very classic pretty top
Rented a size L because I didn't want it crop length for work. Overall very pretty top. Was a bit surprised how tightly crew neck it was, right to the neck at the top. Otherwise fit and wore well. Could have definitely worn a M but wouldn't have been able to wear to work.

Beautiful but had issues
I loved he look of this jacket and the white leather piping is buttery soft. I found the arms to run small and long. Also, on my jacket both sleeves were dingy and pilled more of n the palm surface at the ends, especially on the right. I considered buying this but really seemed to worn to keep

Favorite rental ever!
I absolutely love his jacket. I've worn it to a party, to work, and to run around town with jeans. I got it through my unlimited subscription and don't want to send it back. Highly recommended! It is more fitted across the back and shoulders and there is no stretch to the fabric. Fit me tts.

Loved the unique fit of this. It is definitely high waisted and I wore with a black top tucked in to accentuate it. Very memorable

Second dress option I didn't wear
I rented his as a second choice and wasn't able to wear it. I loved the fit of the skirt but the waist was way too tight on me. The fabric has no give. It's beautiful and might fit a less busty lady better.

Pink and heavy
Received these earrings as the 'surprise bling' with a dress I ordered. They looked great; not something I would usually choose for myself. I did find that they were pretty loud whenever I turned my head. They are heavy and I thought the posts seemed a bit short, I was worried they might fall out but they didn't.

Beautiful details
Received this dress as a last minute substitution and was very pleasantly surprised. I did have trouble zipping at the waist, which was strange because the fabric has plenty of stretch. I ended up zipping it when it was off and pulling it on over my head. I got lots of compliments and really loved the silver thread detail and the peplum at the waist.

Beautiful dress, cut open very high!
I loved this dress when it came however I was unable to wear it to my work related party. On me, it cut open to my very upper thigh and didn't look professional. What a Shame!

Sexy for date night
I wore this for our anniversary dinner bc my husband loves the lace up look. This top fit great, was more fitted around the bust and flares out and was very flattering and sexy. I wore it with Blue velvet skinny jeans and a black peplum jacket and felt great!

Love! Need to own!
Really beautiful weight and shape to these. Felt super glam driving my kids in the minivan but wanted to keep these forever. I did not have a problem with the width of these as I have a heart shaped face... if your face is more narrow these might look too wide for you.

Loved the print but fit was large
Not particularly flattering or unflattering. I was expecting to love it more but not as fitted/tailored as I usually like my blazers. This was a very boxy fit. I'm broad shouldered too so for the shoulders to be big on me was a big surprise! I also had to roll the sleeves a bit. Overall I liked it.

Not the right fit for me
Looked terribly frumpy on me due to pleating on the skirt looking bulgy. Natural waist was too tight and bodice too short for me overall. Was glad I had a different option.

Gorgeous!
Loved this dress! Ran big as it had a lot of stretch. Very forgiving and flattering. I didn't have trouble with any sequin chafing under the arms in this one either. Feels heavy on the hanger, but very comfortable on.

Standout dress!
In a sea of black this dress stands out. I thought it fit me somewhat strangely across the back; that the straps should have crossed lost and got a bit of a bump on the sides where it didn't. Really loved the color
