Cute Sweater but Cropped
Cute sweater - gives a 70s vibe, especially when worn with deep green cords I rented. Very comfortable, nice weight, well-made but definitely a little more cropped than I would have liked. I'm 5'7'' and in my usual size and definitely wouldn't have worn it with anything that wasn't high-waisted

Loved it!
Was worried it’d be a bit loud for my taste but it was great - plenty of room for 28 week bump, I added my own belt.

Fabulous dress, runs quite small
Loved this dress but you can see in the 1st photo it definitely didn’t work for pregnancy! My sister wore it to my shower instead and looked great!

Tiny
I should have listened to the reviews this dress is tiny! I needed a LL and even that might have been too short. The sequins are quite bright, not as understated as I was hoping. Leave this one for the petite ladies.

Just a tad too small
This is a gorgeous dress but I ultimately decided to wear another because my tummy just felt too prominent in this one. The fabric is gorgeous and generally quite forgiving/flattering but I've recently gained a lot of weight in the middle and just didn't feel comfortable in this even in spanx. I'm not sure if the size up would have helped. I have wide hips & a big butt and actually felt totally comfortable about how that part of the dress fit! A gorgeous gown just didn't work out for me this time.

Great for NYE Black Tie Wedding
I was hesitant to wear this because the gold print is a little 'louder' than what I normally go for but I wasn't comfortable in any of the other dresses I rented. It turned out to be a hit - super comfortable cut, beautiful fabric and print, very low V, so the top was pretty big on me but I got away with a strapless bra, safety pin, & some padding ;) I got a lot of compliments from strangers and felt very glamorous, a fun black tie dress for NYE!

Cute but tight on butt & hips
Really nice pants - after reading the reviews I took a risk on the only available size being too small and got unlucky. I'm usually 6/8/10-29 and these 6 were just too small in the butt/hips. They are gorgeous understated plaid, super soft and warm wool, nicely detailed, especially at the bottom. Thankfully my sister in law who is shorter and smaller but just a month post baby was able to wear them twice over the holidays! I would definitely try these again in 8 or 10.

Great work dress
Loved this for work and would definitely wear for a date or girls night out. Had to pin the neckline so it wouldn't be so low at the office but it was easy. Unbelievably comfortable and flattering. Slightly long and slightly big even for someone not feeling her slimmest at the moment (and I'm not short -5'8") flattering at the waist, great movement and draping, nice and flows and roomy at the bottom Would love to try the small and maybe buy!

Very Odd
Gorgeous print and fabric and very comfortable but I wouldn't recommend the fit. It was extremely roomy, which made it comfy and forgiving around my hips and waist, but it was completely shapeless. I wore it belted first which was a little cuter but still awkward. I probably could have gone down another size. I have the worlds longest arms and these sleeves were still almost to my fingertips. Overall it was wearable and I actually got a lot of compliments but I wouldn't seek this one out unless you're very straight and very very tall and size down.

Perfect dress for dancing
Loved this! Gorgeous color, amazing fit, perfect for a hot July wedding. Flowy and light enough that it was very forgiving at the waist & hips, but flattering, especially the shoulders. So glad I rented, so many compliments and could not have had more fun dancing and twirling in it!

Gorgeous Dress
I didn't end up wearing this to a July wedding because I rented another dress that was lighter and more flowy - better for the heat. This dress was gorgeous though, I will definitely plan to rent again! Slightly on the slimmer side although not particularly fitted. Beautiful fabric and colors, almost ankle length

Yikes.
I was so excited for this romper - I've been eyeing it for a while, trying to figure out an excuse to rent it. Just got it for an upcoming wedding and wow. So. Awkward. First, I'm quite generously endowed on the bottom but basically a twig up top. I put this on and i couldn't zip it all the way up. I don't think that has ever happened to me, something fitting on the bottom but too tight to zip around my ribs/bust. Second, it just looked awful. I wanted to like it so much but it made me feel like an Oompa Loompa or a 1980's style maternity outfit. Just not flattering in the least, not cute, nothing. I'm amazed at how many girls rented this and posted cute pics - it was a total mess for me! Maybe next time...

Perfect for a Nantucket Wedding
I'm so glad that I went a little out on a limb and picked this, it was perfect for a summer cocktail wedding outdoors on Nantucket. It fit perfectly without a bra, I'm small but broad on top and it fit tightly on top. Great shape on bottom, comfy even after a big meal! It just barely touched the ground when I was barefoot so I'm glad I was trying to dress it down a bit with flat sandals. I would get the long if I wanted to wear heels.

Great Color & Gorgeous
The straps are bizarrely long. Had to pin them back like others, which was annoying since I didn't do it ahead of the event and my husband wasn't much help! I wore it without a bra and was totally comfortable. Great length. I could have really dressed it up but ended up keeping it casual for a pre wedding cocktail party. I'm keeping it for another event next week!
