Eye-catching pattern, very body-con
I loved the look and feel of this dress, but I was uncomfortable with how it accentuated my body shape.

Performance and great look
I wore this all season long for skiing. Top-of-the-line waterproof fabric and insulation. It has a slight give for active movement. I would order a size up to fit more layers underneath if it's below 25 degrees.

Definitely gets noticed! (and complimented)
This bag was a joy to carry. It was the building block of my wedding guest outfit - I actually rented a dress specifically because it went with the purse! I didn't realize from the photos that some of the beads are sparkly, which made it all the more fun.

Lovely colors, soft and breezy fabric, didn't fit.
I read reviews saying this dress is tight in the chest and thought that would not be a problem for my shape. I couldn't even zip the dress, because it was actually too tight in the ribcage.

So cool, but a bit long
This dress is really comfy. I like how it's not as body con as most sweater dresses without looking frumpy. However, it's really long. I'm 5'7" and it came down to my ankles.

Eye-catching coziness
I found the neck of this sweater a little small for pulling over my head, but it fit really nicely once it was in place. It's very thick and warm, so you need outerwear with roomy sleeves. Love the cuts and colors!

Shiny buffalo plaid!
The sparkly gold of this dress is a great way to dress up the most casual of plaids. This is a very form-fitting dress, as noted in other reviews, but the thick fabric hid lumps and bumps.

Great color and texture!
This sweater is so much fun! Although it's dense, I didn't find it too warm because its oversized fit allows a lot of air circulation. I found it hard to wear a jacket over this sweater because the texturing on the sleeves was too bulky. I like the sparkle in the dark blue and black patches.

Something different
The sleeves felt narrow, and the large collar is a bit overbearing. I would recommend wearing this over something that doesn't have much bulk to it.

Definitely runs small
I could have survived with the slight discomfort caused by tightness in the rear, but it also bunched like a roll below the waist seam and made me look like I had a spare tire. Pretty dress, but I'll have to try again with the next size up.

Comfortable and elegant
This collar is proportioned elegantly. Sometimes Alexis Bittar pieces look large and clunky, but this is a bit more conservative. It's comfortable and lies correctly on the neck.

Just different enough
Love the color and the flowy fabric. There's no stretch, so I chose to size up because I have broad shoulders. I had to fiddle with the long ties a bit before finding a way to wrap and tie them that was both secure and flattering. I didn't love the t-shirt style collar, but it wasn't a detriment either.

Perfect for minimalist dressing
This necklace is perfect in every way when you're wearing something simple. It's both silver and gold, so it goes with all your jewelry. I've had people call out to me from a car in a parking lot to ask where I got it. It's been such a wardrobe staple for me, I think I'm going to buy it!

Super bright!
The jacket is a great cut with a standout color. The sleeves are pretty narrow, but that helps the jacket look like it was made to order! The color is practically neon bright.

This sweater isn't too much of a standout, but it's comfortable and interesting. The crisscross would flatter a person with a larger bust.

I usually wear a size 40, but I ordered the 42. It's roomy, but good for layering. I didn't realize from the pictures, but the blue on this sweater is a mesh. It's a great looking sweater!

When it's just getting chilly, but you're not ready to break out the chunky sweaters, this keeps you comfy. It's fitted and stretchy, and it looks great.

Trendy shape can be worn with anything
The bell sleeves are terrific. The sleeves are rather fitted above the bell, which gives it very nice tailored look, despite the roomy cut in the body. I'm broad shouldered, so next time I rent this (and there will be a next time!), I'm ordering a size up.

This dress fit perfectly, looked great, and was comfortable. I'd categorize it as serviceable, slightly more interesting than basic, but not quite a standout.

Lovely dress, not my style
I rented this to wear to something a little dressier than work, but not quite a cocktail or formal occasion. After reading reviews about it being tight across the chest, I ordered one size up. I should have stuck with my regular size. Aside from being too big, it was very long, which surprised me because I'm 5'7". It just didn't look right for what I wanted to wear it for. Stick with it as a party dress, and it will be beautiful.

So cool!
Loved the crisp fabric. It gives the pleat in the back substance enough to give almost a bustle shape, which played well against the shirt-straight front.

Beautiful, flattering, but not a standout
I found it to be a little snug across the shoulders, but it was still comfortable. I prefer funky, unique pieces, so this one is more function than form. Looks great with a pencil skirt!

Did not expect heavy fabric
This top is a smooth, heavy cotton sateen. I thought it was going to be more flowy, but it doesn't move with you. The bow is bulky. It's not flattering if you have a small bust.

Stunning, comfortable, unique
This dress was an honor to wear! The sleeves are what make it a standout. I had no problem with them at a sit-down dinner - they stayed out of the way of my food. I dress modestly, so I wore a light pink shell underneath that blended with the style of the dress just fine. Received sincere and reverent compliments all night long. Hope I have an occasion to rent it again. I miss it already!

Nice, serviceable
This jacket looked really unusual online, but it wasn't such a standout on. It's cute, it fits, it goes with almost any bottom because of its cropped length. It works for spring, as it is lightweight lined cotton.

What is amazing about this top is what's underneath! The thick lining and finished seams make it comfortable and flattering the second you put it on. It looks great with anything black, blue, or white on the bottom. Compliment-inducing piece!

Sporty and fun
This sweater is actually a heavyweight, chunky cotton, rather than lightweight as it is described. While there's nothing particularly standout about it, the bold stripes definitely help make it feel like it's finally spring!

Original!
Shirttails under a sweater is a ubiquitous look. This combo sets you apart! Love the crop top and pinstripes. It comes in two pieces, with camisole straps on the shirttails. There's a little stretch in the pinstripe, allowing lots of comfort and movement. The under piece is heavy and crisp. The crop top hits the waist perfectly.

Flattering and versatile
I wore this sweater a few times, with everything from a billowy grey plaid skirt and red cowboy boots to a black pencil skirt and Uggs. I didn't like the sleeve length - it was above the wrist, as it appears on the model. Its fitted cut gives it a quality look, like it was made to order.

Great fabric, flattering cut
This dress is lovely. The print on the skirt has a hint of yellow, so you're not completely monochromatic. I wore it just by itself, and then paired it with a white knit vest with a fur collar. Versatile! I love Proenza Schouler, and even though this dress is not one of their more daring pieces, it was a lot of fun to wear.

This skirt fits perfectly true to size. It's a basic, utilitarian shape, but wow, the leather is so soft and supple. Avoid murky colors like army green when choosing a top.
