Flattering fit - okay print
I have rented this dress in a few different prints and i think this one was my least favorite - it is just a lot with the blue and orange. I think if you're into bright colors it would be better, but I just thought it was kind of overpowering. The cut of this dress is super cute. I think it would be flattering on a variety of body types!

Blue Floral Scarf Neck Dress

Bust: 40D
Runs large - very comfy and flattering though!
This does run big (see other reviews), but I think it's pretty easy to get the right size with the recommendations. I wore this on vacation for a cute plane outfit - paired with leggings. It looks really put together while still being comfortable. Might be cute with jean shorts too in the right weather!

Fun color and very cozy!
These joggers are really warm-- just a heads up! A few other reviews mentioned it so I knew what I was getting (and what I was hoping for) with these. The color is really fun. Probably not a color I would buy, especially at the price point Ulla Johnson runs at, which makes them a perfect rental. Wore a few times to work (tech... joggers are great for that) with tank tops and a cardigan and another time with a jean jacket. Highly recommend for a winter/cold weather rental!

Couldn't wear - hem was off!
This is such a cute dress - I rented it for a quick weekend trip to Arizona. However, I couldn't wear it. The lining/hemming was really off. I thought I had just put it on wrong but had a friend try it on as well and it laid the same way. It's the second time I rented this and the other time I did not have the problem. Definitely need some quality reviews of this piece. Bummed it didn't work out!

Pockets won't stay down!
I could not get the pockets to lay flat - they constantly popped up and out. I tried to iron them and steam them and had no luck. If this wasn't an issue, it would be a super cute dress. It does run BIG though so if you are in between sizes, consider ordering down. The material was soft and it wasn't wrinkled at all when it came out of the shipping bag which was great! Anyways, if you can figure out the pockets (or have a dress that doesn't do it?) this would be fun to bop around in.
Short Sleeve Indigo Shirtdress

So much fun!
I loved this dress!! Wore it with black heels for a winter wedding. It was a classy black dress with some fun details-- the print is great, the sheer sleeves are a nice touch, and the length is a fun balance! I thought it was super flattering. The only (minor) complaint was that the zipper was a little hard to get over the waistband when trying to put it on myself and I needed help, but that's really the only issue I had.
Leopard Grosgrain Burnout Dress

Obsessed
This sweater is the perfect length and weight. It was long enough I could wear it with leggings but it also looked great with jeans. I was concerned about it being too warm when I rented it, but it worked out just fine. Rent it!!
Grey Lonnie Sweater
J.Crew
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 8"
Not for bigger busts
The dress was really well made and was a different shape (length, cut) which I loved but the buttons gaped on the front. Would work for someone smaller on top!
Rizzo Asymmetrical Dress

Very flattering!
This dress is so flattering! If you have a smaller chest, you could probably size down on the fit. I would say that the fabric is pretty light so if you are going to wear it somewhere cold, you will probably want to consider tights or a sweater.
Feather Scarf Neck Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 54
Usual Size: 18

Beautiful bag!
The bag and embroidery is so pretty!! I wish the chain was a bit longer, but I think it looked better as a clutch anyways. You can definitely still carry it on your shoulder, but it is a little short. The leather is so soft and the flower embroidery was beautiful. Went really well with a fancy black dress as a fun pop for a party!
Portugal Flower Port Of Call Clutch

Must have the right figure
This fabric is lighter than I was expecting (definite pro) but the shape is definitely for someone with more of an hourglass shape. The skirt was a lot more full than I expected on me and felt like the overall fit was pretty loose. It would definitely be a fun dress on someone else!
Merlot Floral Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 1X
Usual Size: 18

Really pretty, just low cut!
I ordered this to wear with a sweater and tights for work, but the neckline was WAY too low for me. I think I would rent this again if I had an event where it was a little more appropriate (I almost feel like I could wear it with sandals for a spring date night) like a party where you wanted to be dressier but also could show a little more skin. The fabric was beautiful and I thought the cut was really flattering other than the neckline!

Flattering but hard for a bigger chest!
This fit almost exactly true to size. The way it fit was really flattering for my waist, but I have a bigger chest and it was too low cut for me. It might have worked with a tank top but I just don't really like that look. I would definitely have ordered it again if I didn't have the cleavage problem (DD) so would recommend this to most people for a clean and classy black dress!
