It's a backpack too!
Obsessed - this bag is so cute, you can wear it on your arm for a work event and then throw it on as a backpack for the weekend. Just big enough to fit everything you need and details are gorgeous in person.

Insanely flattering
Because of the zipper down the center this dress is instantly flattering. Wore it for a bachelorette party and it was comfortable and sexy at the same time. LOVE!

YES! Amazing leather
This vest is exactly as pictured - it's a heavy leather, really cute with some tight black pants. Smelled a little bit when I got it but not so much that I wouldn't wear it.

I ended up buying it!
Loved this so much I ended up going out and buying it in black! The fleece lined pockets are so cozy and the whole thing is really warm. Perfect for winter in the burbs.

Relaxed and easy
Not the most flattering ever if you're not a stick since it's baggy and shapeless, but throw on some jewelry and you can make it work. Don't love the slip it comes with...kind of a thick cotton tank dress, would love something thinner

OBSESSED.
This jacket is amazing. It's super thin and yet actually warm. It's really soft - almost suedlike but coated. It was too small to close with my bust but didn't matter just wore it open. Wish I could keep this one.

Great work dress!
The M I received was a little worn but the fit was great. Wear some Spanx underneath to keep everything smooth. It's perfect to transition from work to evening. I'm 5'3 and the hem was a little bit long.

Fabric is beautiful
I had a little trouble styling this one - it's a little too hippie/flowy for work on it's own, but then it looks a bit costume-y belted. I ended up belting it for work and then removing the belt for an afterwork event with some fringed booties. If you're busty size up, and be careful...the sheer slip that comes underneath does basically cover everything, but your cleavage WILL show through it!

So flattering but needs a slit!
As a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, it really is difficult to move quickly in this dress. I'm relatively short and wear high heels so I didn't think my gait is that long, but it really is very restrictive. If you're just teetering around the office though it's fine, and super flattering! Hugs your curves, doesn't show anything. It was a little baggy in the butt for me since I don't have much there, but I'm large chested and it was totally slimming on top. I wore it with a belt and my waist looked TINY.

Love this dress!
Light airy material, perfect for belting. The hem is a curved wrap, which is really cute...a tiny bit flirty but still ok for work. Pattern and colors are vibrant and pretty, will rent again!

Exactly like the pictures
These are comfortable - the fabric is high quality and they have just a hint of stretch. Really liked the belt, it doesn't come open at all while you're wearing them.

Should have ordered a medium
I'm a 36-38C-D and always order a L in tops but this one would definitely work in M. I belted it and covered it with a blazer so it works, otherwise it'd be hard to tell b/c it was so big.

The fabric is really stretchy, probably could have worn the 8. I'd definitely recommend belting it if you're curvy on top. Really comfy and professional.

More of a Coverup
Because of the way the pockets lay it's not super flattering to belt this. And it's relatively short/flowy so it works more as a coverup than an actual dress. Would be great for vacation!

Perfect for Work
The material for this dress is a little thicker than I was expecting - actually drapes nicely though wouldn't be breezy in hot weather...perfect for work. There are darts up by the chest that are a little awkward/puff out. I belted it and threw on a cardigan though so you couldn't see it.

LOVE this dress!
I love how Equipment fits - even if you're larger on top, their button-down styles actually have room in them. I belted this dress to define my waist. Love how the hem curves up a little on the side, makes it just the right amount of flirty! Can easily transition from work to weekend to dinner out. Will likely rent again!

Super professional and chic
This was a bit too big on me but it's belted so I could get away with it. The belt was a little broken but you could make it work. Definitely a long hemline if you're petite so wear some high heels. Looked super chic for work!

Great day to night potential
Colors were a little more muted than expected - love the scuba fabric. I rented a large but I think medium would probably fit better - extra fabric was ok for work though so that the back wasn't too tight. Definitely easy to transition from work to dinner out!

It's big!
This is a big, solid bangle. It's pretty heavy, definitely a statement piece, though might overwhelm someone with daintier wrists. It can definitely be worn to work or out at night (though probably not to a formal event since it's so clunky).

Chunky and fun
So this is actually 2 completely separate necklaces that you wear at the same time. Great for work. The color is nowhere near as yellow as the listing page - it's gotten a lot more neutral (probably just over time)

Really cool from the side
This is a really interesting bracelet -it's a bit overly yellow as far as the tone of the gold but the view from the side is really fun and unique. I don't think I would wear it to a formal event but it's fun for work or weeknights.

Love the style - wear a belt!
Color and style of this dress are great. The fit is almost a little too in between needing a belt and not - it's got a waistline that's not strong enough to stand on its own, but the dress isn't quite blousy enough to be super flattering when belted. If I ordered again I'd probably size up and wear a belt (bigger chested girls I would definitely recommend this). If you're smaller on top, a smaller size without a belt would work well.

Love this jacket—it's extremely thin/lightweight, perfect for work for summer. Fit was relaxed and comfortable. Only thing is that it could probably use some regular steaming, it wrinkles pretty easily.

Amazing Fabric
Fabric was snug and flattering - covers everything without Spanx! Didn't love the the neck since it felt a little tight, but the dress looked amazing on. A little hard to walk in but worth it.

Love the Color
My friend tried this for a wedding - she's normally a 0 or a 2, rented a 2 but probably should have worn a 0, the 2 was a little loose and was riding up. Would need to wear with a backless bra since the whole back is mesh.

Beautiful but not great for petites
Rented this for a wedding but didn't end up wearing it. The way the dress lays it's a lot more flattering if you're taller - the criss-cross at the center ended up making me look wider than I am.

This jacket is AMAZING. Color is gorgeous, love all the zippers and details. Definitely too snug for me to close with my bust but would never wear it closed anyway. Totally fitted in the sleeves and flattering. Wish I owned it!

Cute Jacket but a little worn
This jacket definitely seems like it's been worn quite a bit, but the cut is really cute and the sleeve length is perfect for work. One thing I didn't love is that the lining rolls out a lot in the front, probably from extensive wear. Because of that I probably wouldn't rent it again, but it is very comfortable and flattering.

Not great if you're short
I'm 5'3 and the M was a bit too baggy to be flattering - I think they'd be better on someone taller. Also, these pants are only leather on the front which can actually be a little widening - decided to return them and get something else.
