A great basic piece
This one was a tiny bit short for my long waist, hitting right at the top of my jeans but I still liked it. Stretchy and comfortable staple piece.

Beware of functional buttons!
Don't wait too long to get to the bathroom! You really only have to unbutton three or so on one side, but it takes a hot second to get it done. Overall the pants were great for work. Flattering and comfortable.

Lots of visual interest!
I loved the "bandana" part around the neck! I think you could wear it tied or untied, really. The colors were perfect for me. It was stylish without being "western" even though the collar is bandana-adjacent. Rent it!

Love Love Love
These pants were way outside my comfort zone and I'm so glad I tried them out!! So stylish and fun. They run ridiculously large though. I usually wear a large and rented a medium. It was still big in the waist. Consider sizing down 2 sizes. The inner waistband is elastic and that's what runs so big. The "bat wing" part just wraps around from the right side and ties on the left. They definitely needed a quick press to look their best. Rent these!!

Cute but not super comfortable
The top was super snug elastic and the fabric was a little bit coarse. It slightly chafed my armpits and it was not too small for me. It looked great but I took off a star for the snug fit of the top.

So glam!
A little strange to put on with the separate pieces that you couldn't fully separate from each other, but it was worth it! Press the skirt for a more polished look. The top was soft and stretchy. The armpits looked a little deep but it didn't show my bra. The skirt part fits loosely, but it's by design I believe. It lays nicely under the tank top portion. It was such a lovely piece!

Husband made me buy it immediately!
As soon as I put it on, he told me to buy it! I had rented it for a late spring wedding with an outdoor component. I needed help zipping it up. The zipper in the back is difficult to get past the seam where it transitions to the elastic top. No need for a bra, which is great!

Very light and comfortable
The fabric was super thin and breathable, no lining. There’s a hidden side zipper. I wore it to a conference with cute sneaks and it was a hit. You can adjust the length a bit with the drawstring ruching. It has a tie on the inside.

I wore this to a friend's wedding in mid-May in Texas. It was perfect for the occasion! I needed help getting it zipped, but once it was on it didn't budge. I found it to be very true to size with not a lot of give. It just happened to fit me like a glove.

Very blousey and flowy. Long enough to be tucked in. I did not care for the cuff on the sleeves. They were a little tight on me when I extended my arms and it would pull a bit.

Cute but difficult
This piece is perfectly fitted and true to size. There is a very discrete zipper on one side but it really didn't help much. Putting it on was hard, taking it off was harder. Beware if you have bigger boobs, it has zero stretch and you won't be able to pull it down over your chest. For a size 10 I feel like it should've been much bigger than it was. So beware and don't try to size down or you definitely won't get in it.

Who do these fit?
I wanted to love these so bad, but the waist is HUGE. Had I gotten a smaller size, they would have been entirely too cropped. Even the drawstring didn't help. So, if you rent these, try sizing down and see if that works for you.

Hottttt
Wore this to a night out with my husband for his birthday. Super hot piece that was long enough to tuck in if you need to. Only minor annoyance was the hanging straps - they will work their way out (how???) unless you tape them down to the inside of the shirt. Once I did that, it was all systems go. Oh, and if you like being choked a little, this one's for you. The neck buttons closed in the back. Looked super cute, needed help getting out of. Rent it for a hot date night!

Good casual top
Very stretchy and snug. It will NOT look like it does on the model unless you size up at least two sizes. It was fitted and stretchy, which was FINE. Not complaining. It still looked good, felt good, and fitted me nicely. It's just not as loose as it appears on the model. Being that it's snug, it wore a lot less dressy than you think it will.

I forgot to take a picture but I loved this dress! There's a semi-built-in slip that snaps in at the shoulders. You can step into it though instead of navigating putting it on over your head with the slip attached. That gets complicated fast. It was light and comfortable all day. Conservative, but just beautiful.

These are so soft! They are comfortable, flattering, and so easy to just put on and forget you are wearing jeans. Maybe I just love Madewell. Considering buying. They are quite stretchy, so you might think about if you can get away with a size smaller. I could probably have worn the 8 and I'm a solid 10.

Fun colors!
I was afraid I'd look a little like one of those rocket pops (without the red, I know) but it's really just cute and fun. The sleeves button closed, but I had to unbutton them to wear it. If you have ever picked up a weight, you'll have to as well. Took off a star for that. And you have to iron it unless you want to look like a wrinkled mess.

I really loved this dress, but I did feel a bit like a cute waitress in it. Especially when I put on a name tag. But it fit well, wore easily, and was comfortable all day. Just don't put on an apron or someone might think you should be bringing them your dinner.

Loved this one. She was a leeeettle short, but not inappropriately so. I'm 5'9" with a long torso, so anything kind of short ends up very short on me. You can see where it hits my thigh. In any case, I loved it! So so cute with a pair of sneaks.

A Gorgeous PITA
You WILL get compliments on this one. What you will wish for though, is help getting into and out of this top. There's a zipper that goes all the way down the back (though it does not open up). You have to shimmy it over your head, and zip it up. Then tie the ribbon around your neck. Repeat steps in reverse to doff, but get help. It was form fitted to a T with zero give and I got compliments on it all day. The sleeves were a tad short and when buttoned were a bit restrictive. It was just a PITA to put on and take off. As a glutton for punishment, yeah, I'll probably rent it again. Beauty is pain, y'all.

Basic Black B with Adorable Details
At first, she's super basic with a ribbed tank top, but the eyelet details on the skirt are what level this one up. I wore it with wedge tennis shoes and red floral heels. Both worked. There really aren't any restrictive features in this piece. If you needed to size down, you definitely could. Just rent it!

A Cute Basic B
I did get compliments on this sweater but I just didn’t think it was all that special. It’s warm without being itchy. I feel like it is the slightest bit cropped. It hit just at the top of my waist. To be fair, I am long-waisted. The cuffs and sleeves were wide and won’t stay up if you push them up. Overall, not my favorite, but cute enough for work.

Love the shape of these jeans!
The cut is so flattering and makes any pair of legs look longer. Not a lot of give to the material, but they did stretch out a bit during the day. The fit was TTS if not a little larger.

Cute, maybe a little short
Depending on your proportions, this one might be a little short. It wasn’t indecent, but I still decided to pair it with leggings and tall boots. It was also a chilly day when I wore it. There’s a zipper on the side to aid in putting it on and it gives it a nicely fitted look.

Pretty, not super special though
This is a relatively thin sweater. So if you are looking for something warm and heavy, this is not it. Still a nice sweater with pretty colors. The gold panels have a little bit of metallic thread woven into them. It is big enough, long enough, and very soft. You won’t regret renting it, but it’s nothing very special. Just a functional piece.

Schoolgirl vibe
Very cute jumper and shirt combo piece. Other reviews said that the shirt could be separated, but the one I received was sewn in at the shoulders and could not be separated. The shirt itself was rather cropped so I wouldn’t wear it separate anyhow. The jumper length was fine, but I paired it with black tights and tall boots on a chilly day. Overall, a great piece!

Great work-appropriate top
This top had a pretty pattern and paired so perfectly with the Tareta Pants by BOSS. There’s a liner that not tight or annoying. It’s really thin and not warm at all so beware on chilly days. Length was juuuust long enough for my long torso to still tuck in. A great option to provide a little visual interest to your outfit!

Super stylish “sweatpants”
These were really comfortable and fit perfectly. The drawstring is somewhat functional although there is a zipper, hook, and button fly. The drawstring is really difficult to pull through as it’s pleather on pleather. So if one side is pulled through longer than the other, get ready for fight. These pants were not sticky and were soft as butter! I wore them with the Leaf Printed Top by Peter Som. A lovely pairing!

Eye catching pattern
It’s a super pretty, eye catching pattern! If it’s too busy for you, throw a blazer or sweater over it. The material is very thin and stretchy. If you have a bigger chest, the pattern will thin out across your boobs so beware if you’re a busty gal. That’s the only reason I knocked off one star. It was not too tight at the neck or anywhere really. It fit very nicely and was not restricting in any way.

Can hear them coming
…and they stick to literally every surface you sit on. Even upholstered ones. They were super cute, sailor chic and they fit well. They were lined and had enough give. It was the stickiness and squeaky noise that annoyed me enough to take back one star. Otherwise, they are cute, comfortable and got lots of compliments!

Perfect NYE Choice
The theme for the NYE party I attended was a night under the stars, so blue and silver were the colors of choice. This dress perfectly fit the bill. The sequins are plastic and kind of swish-clink when you’re walking in a quiet room. It was a non-issue at a party though. They ate my armpit but only on the right side. Typical for sequin dresses. There is very minimal give to this dress and you will need help getting it zipped. There’s a liner in the bust and a few pieces of boning to keep it upright. It was a little bit warm, but not at all uncomfortable. A great choice for the right event!

Perfect with leggings!
I don’t think I would want to wear this dress without leggings as a slight breeze would send it into indecent territory. She begs for leggings and tall boots and it’s a perfect fit! Yes it’s big and flowy, it’s supposed to be. No real restrictive features except a hard seam on the upper arm about 2” past the armpit. It wasn’t tight on me, but if you have bigger arms, it might be. Cuffs were soft elastic and not bothersome. I couldn’t decide if I should clasp the collar or not so I left it open at the top as I felt a little choked with it closed. Looks like people wore it both ways from other photos though. Overall, will rent it again and it’s a great fall or winter piece.

Leaves nothing to the imagination
Buttery soft and oh so comfortable, but she hugs your body and is unlined. So if you have lumps and bumps or even a bow on your undies, it will show. Easy to wear though and very stretchy so if you needed to size down, you probably could.
