Size up, order the long
I’m about 135#, 5’7”. The size 6L was great. I could have used a pin to keep the top closed, but since I don’t have a large bust and the fabric has some weight to it, it was actually ok. This runs short, so unless you are a petite height I would order the long length.

Pretty colors - top runs large
I was sent this dress as a replacement when my original choice became unavailable. The colors and pattern are really pretty. The fit was off for me. In the size 4, the top was much too big and low (I'm a 32c/34b). The way the dress hung was just not flattering for me, unfortunately.

Gorgeous colors, long straps
I rented this for an outdoor semi-casual work function. The colors are so pretty and flattering. The straps are super long, so be prepared to pin them, tuck them in or otherwise improvise. And the top is low. I was able to wear the size 2 in this dress, so if you have a small bust, I would say size down for the backup. I'm about 5'6", 138#, 32c/34b, smaller on top/athletic pear shape.

Lovely details but unlined
Loved the details of this dress, very feminine. I'm sure the description says it is unlined, but I missed that part. And since the body of the dress has an eyelet detail, it does expose bits of skin/undergarments. Great as a swim cover up!

Sleek and versatile!
Love this clutch and the gold shoulder strap! Big enough to fit iPhone X, lip gloss, ID and a card or two. Wore it with the Reformation Creed dress. Would recommend both!

So flattering! Size up for backup.
Loved this dress! I usually wear a size 4 but the 6 fit better in the waist and kept the leg slit appropriate. Would definitely rent again. Paired with the Sondra Roberts python clutch.

Adorable summer jumper
If you are tall, have a large bust or broad shoulders, size up for your back up. This jumpsuit is perfect for daytime summer events and vacation. It's lightweight and comfortable. Great colors and not overwhelmingly bright. The fitted smocked top helps balance out the flowy bottom half. Would recommend!

Great color and texture
I'm usually a size 4 and rented both the S and XS in this dress. I ended up wearing the XS. Loved the colors - red, burgundy, deep purple. And loved the texture the crochet adds. Flattering and smooths out any areas you may want to camouflage. Easy to wear and received many compliments. Rented with the Sondra Roberts taupe rowan minaudiere and Gorjana Amara hoop earrings - would recommend all.

So pretty, perfect size!
Perfect, subtle sparkle and fit everything I needed - phone, lip gloss, ID/cards. I rented with a few other items and would recommend them all - the Jenny Packham Gold spring splendor bangle, Elizabeth and James Kurl bangle and the Hutch Whitney dress (runs very large if you are not busty).

Beautiful, traditional and sparkly!
This is such a pretty bracelet. Great size and sparkle. I wore it with the Elizabeth and James Kurl bangle and I liked the contrast of the modern and traditional together. Also rented the Sondra Roberts Gunmetal beaded minaudiere and the Hutch Whitney dress (runs very large) and would recommend them all!

Cute print! Runs slightly large.
This is a lovely little top for the holidays. The print is perfect and it's comfortable, can be dressed up or down. It is cut a little boxy and sizing runs a bit large, but not overly so. I would recommend!

Pretty and modern
These are pretty and versatile. I love the druzy at the bottom. Can definitely be dressed up or down. I wore them for a Christmas performance at my daughters school. The length was perfect and they weren't too heavy, though I only wore them for a few hours.

So pretty - Be sure to size down!
This dress is gorgeous! If you are not busty - Be sure to size down at least one size, and even two sizes for your back up. I'm typically a size 4, but even the size 2 was huge on me. The top of the dress has a bit of stretch and the skirt has pockets! If you can get the sizing right, this is a stunner. I rented with the Sondra Roberts Gunmetal Beaded Minaudiere and it was a great pairing.

Subtle, modern bangle
I really like this bangle. I have pretty small wrists and it fit - usually bangles are a little big on me. It is small and subtle, so I layered it with the Jenny Packham Gold Spring Splendor bangle, which is also a little more traditional in style, and I liked them together. Also rented the Sondra Roberts gunmetal beaded minaudiere and the Hutch floral Whitney dress (runs large) and would recommend all!

Subtle sparkle
I loved these earrings! Since they are thin and not super long, they are very light weight. They are stationary, so they don't have movement as you turn your head, etc. But I actually found this was great - since I wore my hair down, they didn't get stuck or tangled in my hair. I rented with the Gorjana Nora choker and would recommend both.

Dainty sparkle - true choker length
I loved this necklace! It's dainty and feminine. It is a true choker length, so it's pretty short. I rented it wilts the Gorjana Amara Drop Earrings and would recommend both.

Such pretty sparkle!
I rented this bracelet and the matching earrings. They are a great set, so pretty and sparkly. I felt like they were the perfect size for an evening wedding. Rented them with the red lace Cynthia Rowley and the cork Sondra Roberts clutch. Would recommend them all!

Fun and colorful!
This clutch is cute and colorful. It's a standard size; big enough for my phone, ID/credit card, and lip gloss to fit comfortably. The cork gives it a more casual vibe, which worked well in contrast to the marchesa jewelry I rented.

Rented for work awards banquet. Love it!
Love this dress! Based on other fit reviews I rented the 4 and 6, and the 4 was a good fit. (I'm usually size 2 or 4. 5'8", 125#, 32b). I wore with a strapless bra and it worked fine. The dress is a great gray/blue color, the fabric is thick and has stretch. The neckline is flattering and modern. I would buy this one!

Perfect for fall/winter events!
I rented the Polly dress for a company holiday party when the Theia Marisol jumpsuit became unavailable at the last minute. I love this dress! Very pretty, comfortable and has pockets. I rented sizes 2 and 4, and ended up wearing the size 2 with a regular strapless bra (I'm 5'8, 127#, 32B, fairly straight build). The lace is lovely (though delicate) and the skirt is medium weight with just enough shape/volume. The length hit about at my knees. I did not wear a necklace - didn't want to snag the lace. The clutch I rented was a "glittery" finish, which I would not recommend. I should have gone with something smooth (leather or canvas) to not snag or rough up the lace or skirt of this dress. Loved it, would rent it again!

I rented these to wear with the Shoshanna Alexa Peplum dress to a semi-formal work dinner party and they were perfect. They are a nice size, give a great pop of color and would be very versatile. I may have to buy them!

Dinner Party Chic
I rented this dress and the AV MAX River Isis earrings for a semi-formal work dinner party. It was perfect for the event and coordinated great with the earrings! Typically I wear a size 4 in dresses (sometimes I wear a size 2 in tops). While I did wear the size 4 in this dress, it was very fitted. So if you are in between sizes or somewhat curvy, definitely size up. What I didn't expect: The fabric is thick, structured and textured. The weight and structure of the fabric help the dress hold its shape and make it flattering. The texture reminded me of corduroy - for lack of a better description. It's subtle and helps the dress lay smoothly, hiding any imperfections (especially for the back of the pencil skirt since its so fitted). I really enjoyed wearing this dress and would rent it again!

I rented this to wear with the Cynthia Rowley Lace Leather Chemise for a church wedding ceremony and country club reception and it was perfect. I loved both so much I would definitely purchase them! I also ended up wearing this necklace to the "day after" the wedding brunch with a tank and maxi skirt. It's very versatile.

Beautiful but a little small
This is a gorgeous clutch, but I would have preferred something with a little bit more room. I managed to put my phone, ID, cash and lip gloss in this one, but it was like a game of Tetris. I've also rented the Kate Spade Black Agathe clutch, and would recommend that one if you prefer a bit more space or tend to carry more than you need to!

Subtle and Simple
I rented this for a wedding. It's a cute, simple dress. The leopard print is subtle, which keeps it classy but gives it a little sass. The size 4 worked for me, I'm 5'8"/128 lbs./32C/athletic build. I don't think the bust would fit larger cup sizes, so if you have large girls, beware. And be prepared to accessorize if you want something more stand out than a simple LBD.

Perfect Black Clutch!
This clutch is a great balance of everything you look for - it was large enough to hold my phone, ID, cash, lip gloss & travel perfume without bulging and the sequins give it a little oomph without being over the top. Its classy and very versatile, would definitely recommend. I may need to buy this one!
