Chic and easy
A bit of a struggle to get in and out of but once it's on, it's flattering, and I felt instantly like a lady

Gossip Girl grown up
Swingy and chic. Might want to wear spanx or boy shorts underneath. Borrowed a friend’s collar and necklace to round out the top but it was fine as is, too.

Breezy clingy in a good way
Accentuates your figure but not in an unflattering way, great for something casual or beachy

Both too small and too long
Was tripping over the hem even in 2+ inch platforms. Back zip was stuck and would not close all the way. Beautiful print and fabric but the fit is less than ideal

Love but it’s kind of see through
Adore the print and fabric but it’s thin and I only realized after a full day of wearing it that in bright light, you can see everything underneath 😳wear nude underwear to avoid being embarrassed

Fun & fresh
Psyched to wear this for an upcoming trip to Mexico. Form fitting but not too snug.

Cute but needs work
As previous reviewers have said, the straps are too long. Corset effect is hot but felt tight to drive/sit in.

Cute but watch the buckle
Something was wrong with the silver buckle on the jumpsuit I received. It was impossible to open or close and eventually fell off. I was able to safety pin the belt so it looked fine, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Swingy & lush but...
Love the color and the sparkly fabric but it's not forgiving in the midsection and it's impossible to wear spanx without them showing over the top.

Size Worn: XSR

Breezy, cleavagey
Beautiful color and print, will definitely give you a boost up top. Easy to wear a regular bra underneath but could be worn without one, too.

Beautiful material but it's tight...
Material feels silky and luxe but there's no stretch and I could barely make the buttons around the waist close. Might've worked had I sized up to a small

Shows everything
Gorgeous color and fabric but it shows every lump and bump, not flattering if you want to tuck in a shirt. Also ran big in the waist.

Lovely but lots of side boob
Perfect for my husband's birthday but it was impossible for me to wear a bra with it and side boob was v noticeable.

Flowy, fun, but LONG
Gorgeous print and fabric, fits like a dream, but shorter girls be warned - it's super long. I tripped over it once, might've been different if I'd worn heels.

Fabric felt thick and hot and it didn't drape as easily as I thought it would.

Daisy Printed PJ Shirt
Thakoon x RTR
Size Worn: 2

Height: 5' 4"

Gorgeous print
Loved everything about this dress except for the ribbon belt which broke as I was putting it on. Be careful of that. I was able to tape it in place with some double sided tape and it was pretty much unnoticeable. Also, I wasn't able to wear a bra or spanx because the top of the spanx would've been visible from the back.

Super comfortable house dress vibes
Was expecting this to be more formal but the fabric feels like cotton. Not bad on a hot day or for something more casual. Also note the empire waist. Usually not a fan of those but the print/color/off the shoulder flowiness won me over.

Easy, breezy plus POCKETS
Tie to fit straps make this very adjustable and the print and fabric are flowy and fun. Side pockets = huge bonus.

Easy, breezy, but you might want a belt
Fun print but was unflattering on me without a belt.

Circus tent but make it fashion
So many compliments on this one, felt like a cone of ice cream sherbet. It's LONG - I'm 5'4 and was tripping over the bottom. It's also somewhat tight in the underarm area and I wore a bikini top underneath because it looked weird with a regular bra, but it's such a fun dress that I didn't mind making accommodations.

Felt like a lady
Beautiful mellow yellow, love the whimsical lemur print, perfect midi length. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it's snug in the midsection. I sized up.

Comically large
Got my regular size and they were huge in the waist. Didn't make sense. Did not wear.

Lovely material and structure
Wore this for a day of wine tasting and felt easy + pulled together. Material has a nice weight to it and it resists wrinkling. Could definitely work for a more formal occasion.

Bold, bright color
Fun and flowy though it felt a little cheaply made - would have loved it in silkier fabric. Still worked for a late summer dinner party.

Sparkly and scratchy
Scratchy material and hugged all the wrong areas (stomach).
Pink Ribbed Dress
PINKO
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 0
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34B
Fun but odd construction
fabulous print and light, airy feel, but the top seemed way too big in the bust and could have benefitted from another snap closure. I had to tape the neckline because it was way too revealing.
Red Elodie Top
RHODE
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 0
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34B
Gorgeous color but problematic neck line
I couldn't make this work. The neck was too revealing, pinning/taping the fabric together looked frumpy and awkward. if I could have tightened the whole dress, that would've done the trick, but because the waist of this cinches with buttons and not ties, that wasn't possible.

Rich fabric, but shorter than anticipated
Loved the look and feel of this dress, gave me an opportunity to try mustard for the first time in a while, but it was a bit shorter in the front than I thought it would be, based on photos. I'm 5'4 and the shortest part of XSR hit me mid thigh, which made it feel like a throwback to the junior's department.

Easy, maybe too breezy
This dress is gorgeous but it's tissue thin and the back is see through in bright light. I wanted to wear this for my post-wedding brunch but it veered on the side of scandalous. Was much more appropriate for a candlelit dinner during my honeymoon. Also, the neckline is very low, I put a safety pin in the front.

Cool print, super flattering
I love Clover Canyon dresses for their fun, funky prints and was drawn to this dress for that reason. I loved everything about this dress but two things: A) it rode up a bit when I walked B) neoprene is hot and doesn't breathe easily. Keep that in mind if you're wearing this in a hot climate.

Easy, breezy summer dress
Rented for a weekend in LA. Perfect for daytime and can easily transition to night with some statement jewelry. Curvy girls, size up, this dress doesn't have a ton of hip room.

Comfortable, gorgeous, attention grabbing.
Rented this for a brunch the day before my wedding. It was casual enough for day and could easily be dressed up for night. The waist doesn't come in at all so consider belting it for more definition -- I used a convertible Omni necklace. Full skirt was fun to swish around in. I didn't love the shoulder straps/neckline but those were minor issues in comparison to everything else. Overall, a win!

The dress was missing a belt when I received it. It was too business-y for the cocktail party I was hosting anyway, but it would be cute for something professional related.

The quality, sparkle and mass appeal of the dress.
I was covering the Golden Globes from backstage where black tie attire is mandatory but the freezing AC demands sleeves of some sort. This dress was absolutely stunning and comfortable enough for me to type and conduct interviews while racing around the Beverly Hilton. I received so many compliments that night and after putting photos of me wearing it online. Definitely a repeat rental.

Absolutely love this dress. I've rented it twice and really want to purchase it so I can wear it all the time. Roll the sleeves up and/or throw on a denim jacket and it gets casual. Make it dressier with jewelry. Ruching hides imperfections and Spanx underneath will solve all your problems.

Great for a spring wedding
Wore this to a wedding last May. Bubble skirt and cinched waist is very cute and flattering on hourglass figures. I felt that the material could have been a bit more luxe, but I generally like shiny things so maybe I should've gone that route. In any case, it was fun to wear.
