Super cute- but beware rhinestones catch on material
Wore it to a wedding and it was very cute, but the velvet of my dress got caught on the rhinestones a couple times and snagged. Something to be aware of!

My go-to jacket
I bring this everywhere with me for SoCal summer. It's cute, lightweight but substantial, and flattering. I've been renting this for over two months at this point, and I don't think I'll return it any time soon!

Love these!
So cute and comfortable, and with pockets. Wore it for work, grocery shopping, date night, and hanging with friends. You can dress it up with heels or dress it down with sandals. I paired it with either a black crop top or tank top.

OBSESSED
I have rented this three times because I love it so much. Maybe I should actually purchase it? Be wary that the elastic that goes around the waist can stretch out-- the first time I rented it was perfect, the second time it was reeeeeeeally stretched out, and the third time the fit was great. Love the pockets and how comfortable and cute it is. I usually end up wearing it as a swimsuit coverup or with a bandeau bra or bralette underneath.

Cute but...
iterally the ties are the only thing keeping everything together! Trying to figure out a bra was tricky-- I ended up with a black bra that had a narrow middle section and looped the ties around it. I only wore it out with some friends and couldn't justify wearing it for anything else, even if it was super cute.

Chesty and loose
Maybe I should've sized down, but if I did, I would've worried about it being too tight in the shoulders, but it was loose in the chest, which made me worried I was going to flash someone in this already flash-heavy dress. I felt very sexy and comfortable, but I did have a huge flower leia covering my chest for most of the time I was wearing it. I will also note-- the tie on the back is also huge and I couldn't lean back into my seat without feeling the huge knot digging into my back.

Impractically cute
On the hanger and my body while I didn't move-- perfect. As soon as I moved, the shorts rode up my thighs and cut into me. Also, the paperbag waist was thick and uncomfortable every time I tried to lean back in my chair. I wasn't comfortable driving in it and ended up changing because it was driving me wild.

Super cute, but tight in shoulders
I loved how cute and versatile this was, but I was also not doing what I wanted it to. It was tight in the shoulders and I couldn't lift my arms above shoulder height. Also the big buttons on the wrists cut into my wrists every time I say down at my desk to type, so it wasn't ideal. I loved the color, length, and weight though.

Very pretty and VERY baggy
I've rented other Adam Lippes pants and loved them. I didn't realize these were wide legged when I ordered them. They are SUPER wide legged-- I couldn't get over the amount of material. Super deep pockets and paired with a cropped top. I'm pretty sure I was the first person to wear these, so they were crisp and a little tight. Returning because they're just more wide-legged than I'm comfortable wearing.

Almost bought it
I wore this to work and for casual days. Loved the length (it IS cropped) as it was new for me, and a nice weight to keep me warm but not sweating. Appreciated the pocket at the breast and wore it at least 7 times while I rented it. Debated purchasing but it costs more than I want to pay.

Cute but don't count on lifting your arms up
Wore to a birthday party where we ended up at dinner and then karaoke. Felt super cute, but couldn't lift my arms up high without worrying I was gonna A) flash everybody as the bottom lifted up and B) rip the shoulders. Also be aware the back is open.

Comfy but so much material
Loved how easy it was to pull these on, but there was so much material-- the flare at the bottom was HUGE, and it was too long on my 5'4 frame. Even with 2' heels, I worried about it dragging. The material was also heavy and I could physically feel the bottom of the pants lifting with every step I took.

Super cute and practical
Loved this skirt, just wished it was a tad bigger-- it was tight and I was uncomfortable most of the day. Loved the length on my 5'4 frame and the deep pockets.

Size down unless...
you want the zipper at the back of your neck to ride up every time you sit down. I probably could've sized down since the sleeves and shirt itself were a little loose; I think this is a style that wants to hug your body and I had too much material for it to do that. Got lots of compliments on the color and pattern, though. Do keep in mind it is a bit sheer.

Comfortable, Cute, and Past My Comfort Zone
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this, but wanted to try something different. I ended up loving it. They fit great, have huge pockets, hit right on my 5'4 frame without heels, don't have the dreaded back gap because it fets well in the waist and hips, and were comfy. I recieved compliments on them and enjoyed wearing them every once as a break from my usual.

So Good I Wish I Could Afford to Buy It
I loved this shirt so much. I purposefully bought it oversized, but I probably could've sized down a little bit. I wore it with black leggings, tied it up, and went shopping, helped move a friend into her classroom, wore it while visiting family friends, and just around the house, and received so many compliments on how cute it was. It is comfortable, flattering, great quality, and something I would rent again in a heartbeat. I hope to rent it again in the future a size smaller and wear it at work.

Loved and ended up purchasing smaller size from Levis
Ordered the XL and it was too big, but so comfy I wore it anyway. Even with straps tightened as much as possible, the chest was still loose. Loved the color-- it was super light and set off against my dark hair nicely. Either I've lost more weight than I thought or Levi's sizings are more generous than other brands. Straps were easy to snap on and off, side buttons are there to help get over the hips (this size was so big on me I didn't even have to undo them), and the three pockets were awesome, too.

Super cute and comfortable
Got this for work (I’m a high school teacher) and was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable it was, and how deep the pockets were. The pattern and cut were not typical for me, but I liked it and thought it was fun for a while. Planning on wearing this multiple times.

Waaaaaay too boxy
Right off the bat, this style is completely new to me, but I wanted to try. This was not how to do it. Waaaaaaay too big, loose, and boxy, it made me feel HUGE. Couldn't tuck it into pants without the top puffing out too much and collecting and bunching awkwardly under my pants. Size down, I guess? Or just go for a different style altogether.

Just okay
Literally felt like a sausage in the dress, and though I technically fit, I felt like stuffing that was going to burst. Size up. Material was thick, pockets were deep, and disappointment was real-- returned without wearing out.

Cute, Comfy, See-Through
Wore this several times on girl's night, on a date, and while visiting family. Sizing was great, belt was sewn in so it wouldn't move and couldn't be lost. Back was a little see-through so I made sure to wear nude-colored thongs .

Super cute but boob gap
So cute, but awkward fit-- not enough material in the front and has MASSIVE gapping beween the second and third buttons, but there was also extra material at my back above my waist that pouffed out weird. I don't recommend this for anyone with a larger chest, even though it is very cute-- and pockets!

Looked great but tight in the thighs
I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding reception in SoCal in sunny 74 degree weather and received tons of compliments. The dress is gorgeous and I felt good in it. I got both the 14 and the 16 and ended up in the 16, though I had to pin the straps because the top was too loose for me, even though I'm a 38D. The 14 was very tight, though it did zip, but the 16 felt better. That being said, I was uncomfortable with the lower part of the dress, where the sheer ruffle flare-outs start, in both dresses. It was tight around my thighs and I couldn't bend over without fear of ripping the seams. This was my first time using Rent the Runway and I didn't want to break anything. I also had a tough time sitting down, having to hike the skirt up closer to my waist so there was enough room for my thighs when I sat, even with the 16. The dress was also heavier than I expected-- the embroidery was really beautiful though, but I was paranoid my jewelry would get caught in the stitching. Although I think I looked great in the dress, I wouldn't get it again, nor would I recommend it to anyone with any meat in their legs. I stood for almost 3 hours because sitting was so uncomfortable, and was worried about ripping the seams in the leg/skirt area. I carry most of my weight in my stomach, which I though the dress did a good job of laying flat and making me feel okay, and my thighs, where I was definitely the least comfortable. The sheer panel under the bust area is definitely sheer, and I ended up switching from Spanx to shorts that didn't go up as high so you couldn't see it through the paneling when I tried the dress on at home. Because the dress is heavy and embroidered it does a good job of holding you in though, so I didn't miss the Spanx at all. I didn't wear a bra and wasn't worried about any slippage or peaking, but I do wish I had used some tape to help keep the girls up. Although I looked great, I was dying to get out of the dress by the end of the evening.
