Boxy and unflattering
I wanted to love this but unfortunately felt it was too unflattering. I ordered a size down and it still felt too boxy, particularly in my should region. The collar made everything look wider.

Extremely long
I loved these jeans and got 3 compliments before noon the first time I wore them. However, they are so long and only barely worked when I wore heeled boots. I think these would drown anyone short that 5’7 unless you regularly wear 4-inch heels.

Great length
These run a tad small through the waist and pulled on my upper thighs/hips. They did stretch out on re-wear. I have trouble finding jeans that are not too short or too long, but these were perfect! Perfect denim wash too

Just okay
This was a plain work skirt that was fine. Something about the silhouette felt a little dowdy to me.

Bulky
I wanted to love this, but something about the stiffness of the fabric makes it very unflattering. I couldn't wear it. It didn't feel oversized on but it made my shoulders look huge.

Great not-too-cropped crop top
I loved this top! I'm self-conscious about my mid-section and never wear crops, but the wrap design of this is really flattering. The wrap helps you customize the length, too. I wore this with high waisted jeans for just a hint of skin. Will definitely rent again for date night or a night out.

Two sizes too big
The reviews don't lie -- this coat is insanely oversized. I sized down and was still drowning, it was just wearable but I felt self conscious that it looked ridiculous. I routinely wear a size 12/large in jackets and blazers, and I think a small would fit me in this.

Nice, warm dress
This is a great cold weather event dress. I got a few compliments! It did feel a little large to me in length, I expected it to be shorter, which I would have preferred with the long sleeves. A warning though, my zipper kept sliding down through the night. I'm not sure if I had a faulty dress but it was annoying and could have been embarrassing if I didn't keep an eye on it.

Softest jacket!
Beautiful staple piece for fall. I sized up as sometimes jackets pull across my shoulders -- the XL fit really well with slightly long sleeves. Would rent again.

This coat is HUGE. It's definitely meant to be oversized but you still should probably size down. Beautiful color for fall though.

Chest/ribs way too small
I love the silhouette and color of this dress. However, the sizing makes it unwearable. It's incredibly flowy through the hips and stomach, and then impossible to button up top. Definitely heed the reviews here if you have a larger chest OR carry more weight around your ribs/bra line, as I do.m. I sadly don't think sizing up is an option for me as the skirt area would be huge.

Beautiful dress
This is such a beautiful dress! I got so many compliments. However, I think I was expecting a breezy summer dress and it was quite a heavy material. The top section is rigid and then stretches out-- the first time I tried it on, I was afraid it was too small. I had sized down after reading reviews. I wore it slightly unzipped at the bust under a jacket. However, by the third time It zipped up without a problem and actually felt a little loose.

Cute but large through chest
Lovely color but I had trouble with the sleeves staying put. I think sizing down would have fixed it. It's also a flattering length without veering into mini dress territory.

Versatile piece
Cute, versatile piece that can be dressed up and down. I'd say it runs slightly large, size down if you want a slinkier fit. The seams by the hip can get a little bumpy and the sheen can magnify some imperfections, so I wore this with shape wear.

So many compliments
Such a cute summer dress! I got a lot of compliments on it. It is very generous/roomy, I could probably have worn an 8 if needed but the 10 was perfect. I wore it out for dinner and then under a denim jacket for work. It's also well lined.

Large in the bust
The color is gorgeous in person but this was a weird fit. It fit me well in the waist and hips, but was very larger in the chest and shoulders. I am broad in my rib/shoulder area, so this was surprising to me. It is also an incredibly deep V with no way to secure the wrap section over your chest. I tried to secure it with a safety pin but ultimately, because it was so big through the shoulders, it kept slipping down and felt too exposed for a work event. I didn't end up wearing it.

I typically wear a size 12 in dresses but sized down after reading the reviews. It was still way too large, totally unwearable for the event I needed it for.

Beautiful color, excellent material. Perfectly elevated shift dress.
This dress is quite formfitting. I typically wear a 10-12, got a 10 in this, and I wouldn't have felt comfortable wearing it without a longline blazer due to the snugness around my hips. That said, the material is wonderfully thick (in a good way) and smoothes out a lot of imperfections. I got several compliments during the night at an after-hours event for work. I felt feminine but professional in it, and I think it would work for a more social event without the blazer. Highly recommend!
