Learned to love
Great pop of color and roomy bag with inside pocket for keys, lipgloss, etc. it's definitely a handle or forearm carry vs shoulder. And the black interior of bag makes it tough to find things easily. That being said, I ended up using it the entire cycle and loved it! Casual almost scuba like material gave interest. Classic lines. *apologies for bad photo but I thought it was imprtant to see the size!

Crisp summer dress - versatile!
This is high quality material- needed a steam when it arrived but then I proceeded to wear many times and tit stayed wrinkle free.. paired with nude flip flops white wedges and these blue platform heels. Zoom calls, baby shower, dinner out, church, errands. This piece did it all!

Sized up!
I'm usually an XS-S but sized up based on reviews. I may have been ok with a S but the M worked great and I got many compliments. Wore out to dinner with hubby and I happened to have these blue shoes that brought out the blue in the dress.

Favorite rental of the cycle!
I didn't realize this is more of a casual piece. Super comfortable and pretty short. Not much shape, but very easy to wear. You could dress it up but I just wore with nude flip flops.

Just ok
Maybe I should have sized down, but this is pretty short and I'm only 5'4". As far as rompers go it was fairly easy to get in and out of for bathroom purposes. Material is nice and soft. When I was wearing around the house I removed the belt for a more casual look and less fuss.

Size up if between sizes!
Glad I went with the 4 - this has a side zip which is tough for a larger chest and/or wide back. Once on, this was a fun dress. A bit more casual and edgy, so I chose black strappy wedges to wear.

Wish I had a photo - it fit perfectly and made me look incredible. Worn for a date night. Wasn't sure about the wrinkly looking material, but it worked out great! I wore with brown strappy heels. Would 100% rent again!

Feminine and light!
Wore this for a boy baby shower. I probably could have sized down since there is smocking on the back, and this size felt a little loose, including the shoulder straps (even though they are also adjustable). It's a beautiful lightweight flowy material with a delicate design. Since I hosted, I actually didn't wear shoes. But if I did, nice wedges, sandals or heels would look great.

Fully lined, versatile
This dress was very easy to throw on with anything from flip flops, to wedges, to sneakers. I wore it in 90 and 60 degree temps. I’m always on the fence with ruching - sometimes I feel like it adds bulk and sometimes it conceals. I couldn’t quite decide how it looked on me. I did love the fact than it was lined. In general, a good solid piece to have in rotation but nothing wow-worthy.

Wore a few times - very lightweight material but pretty easy to wear. No gaping in the chest area, so that was a win as it's usually a problem for me. Wore with flat sandals, cowboy boots, and flip flops.

Didn't end up wearing. Had rented for anniversary dinner but she was very tight and very short and I just didn't feel comfortable. Probably should have sized up.

Cute, but work to get on and off
Rented this and then we had a cold snap and I had a hard time wearing it. Tried to layer with this duster and cowboy boots but I just wasn't completely comfortable so I wore something else. I did wear the romper itself for a day at home and some errands. It was really nice but for someone who drinks a lot of water, it made bathroom breaks take much longer...

I adore a short sleeve sweater for TX winters. I went with the S but may have preferred the XS for a more fitted look. But this was still a great piece and I wore it several times. You do need a layer underneath unless you want to show a good amount of skin. A snug tank does the trick. Clean and classy lines, beautiful color, and quality hardware details.

Classy, higher waisted, just enough stretch
Love these! They do stretch but I’ve worn them 3 times and they have not lost shape. Easy to dress up and down, but I prefer to dress them up like here with this cute cardigan and silver pumps. Note that shorter gals like me will need a heel of some sort to keep them hem from puddling on the floor. I’d consider purchasing these since the cost is quite reasonable for a pair of jeans that fit an athletic body.

Unfortunate keyhole placement for me
If you were to zoom in you’d see that I have a mole on my abdomen that was perfectly framed with the lower cutout. Lol. That’s the only reason for not giving 5 stars. Otherwise it was great - definitely form fitting and lightweight. I wore no undergarments to eliminate panty lines. It’s on the short side, but it’s stretchy so you can mitigate that by sizing up or down. I was nervous about the neckline but it doesn’t come up too far and there was room to breathe. I was between XS and S and the S worked great for me. I’m 5’4” and 125lbs. Husband approved big time.

Very warm; not incredibly flattering
Mixed feelings about this one. Rented for work in a colder climate and the material definitely kept me warm. Easy to pair with black tights and tall boots. Definitely comfortable. But it does t do your body many favors. Especially with the flap of material and the way it hangs, giving no indication of any shape. Not sure I’d rent again, but it was a good choice for the weather.

Prairie- style on top
I generally have good luck with MISA. I didn’t notice the shoulder detail when I selected this piece but it was the first thing that stood out once I put it on. I did wear 2X - once with black tights and tall black boots and again with suede platform pumps. I wore the neck tied with the boots and left undone with pumps. It’s a very nice flowy material and is lined on the bottom. When you don’t tie it, it is more revealing and sexy. I liked that this could be worn different ways. But I couldn’t get past that prairie style shoulder ruffle - didn’t like it at all.

Comfy; not flattering
I liked the concept here, but it didn’t work for me in real life. The low waist hits at the widest part of the hips and this is meant to be loose fitting but it just had no shape. The head hole is very small, and I have a small head! So do your hair after pulling this on. Also, the shoe selection was tough. I wore once with black hunter boots and the off white chunky boot sock. Another time I wore with mid-height brown boots. Didn’t totally love either choice.

Husband loved, me, not so much
Husband chose this piece and liked it. It’s form fitting, heavy material, with a moderately high slit. I wore it at home for our own NYE dinner with a pair of silver pumps. I didn’t like the keyhole opening because it didn’t quite lay right and I had to keep adjusting. Material is heavy so it constantly pulls down and this dress will show every lump and bump. While I have an athletic build, I think this might work well on someone more voluptuous.

Wore for Christmas Eve dinner out. It's a little short, but I don't mind. Stretchy and mostly easy to get on and off - needed a little assistance to fasten the clasps around the neck. Husband was a big fan!

Gorgeous!
Rented this for a Christmas dinner and show date with husband. I was nervous about the size, but it fit like a glove! I often have trouble with side zippers and I had no issues with this one! The slit is high, so don’t plan on wearing spanx. But the material and cut of fabric is very flattering. Paired it with red pumps and it worked perfectly! Loved this one!

Not for me
I can do shapeless, but this just didn’t work. Felt too long and baggy. Sweater was itchy, too. I only wore for a couple hours before changing (mostly due to warmer temps). This might be great for a long and narrow body type.

Perfect work holiday set
Rented this for an in office day and holiday dinner and show right after. It was perfect - little bit of a gold thread mixed in with the maroon and black, which gave a festive look. I took the jacket off at dinner when it got a little warm, and switched between wearing jacket zipped and unzipped. I felt like I was between sizes so I went up and it fit well. I think a 2 might have been ok, but the 4 was very comfortable and flattering.

Completely sheer top but pattern helps cover
I wore this out for a family dinner and was sad I didn’t have the opportunity to wear it again. The top is completely sheer and with the back being open I didn’t want to wear a bra. Thankfully had a nude sticky bra that worked perfectly. I think you could also use nude nipple covers if they are high quality. The skirt is gathered on one side, which gives it a little extra flounce. I loved this dress overall. But, the sleeves were oddly tight. I knew that going in and was concerned because I have muscular arms, but it was actually tight in elbow and forearm area. I sized up a little and the dress was snug. It was also the day after Thanksgiving so I was likely a little bloated. Definitely needed to do hair and makeup before getting dressed.

High Quality - great fit!
This was a sleeper hit! Beautiful fabric, not too thick but enough to hold shape. I have a bigger chest and feared gaping between buttons but it was solved with tying the thick belt and that held it together. I wore this all over the place - with sneakers, wedges to dress it up a bit, and heels for a nicer night out. I not only received complication other women, but a random guy at a grocery store complimented me as well - in a non-weird way!

Stylish, roomy, works well on short gals!
I sized up as I’m a little heavier these days and when I first put them on, they fit well but they did stretch over time. I could definitely still wear them and enjoyed the relaxed feel. The material is soft and lightweight and the seam down the middle really helps give some form. I wore with sneakers and cowboy boots and felt like the length was good for my 5’4” height. I received a lot of compliments on these and I debated purchasing. I just am on the fence with sizing.

So versatile!
I really loved this vest and should have rented the set. But I still wore it with jeans and a denim skirt. I needed something with a higher waist because the lowest button is still a little cropped. This was a structured denim and buttons were a little stiff but there were no gaps. Wore with cowboy boots, sneakers, and flip flops. Great piece!

Classy
Wore this to my birthday dinner. It’s a very lightweight material and on the hanger it almost seemed to look a little flimsy and cheap. But once it was on, it was incredible! I loved the high slit and the plunging neckline is softened a bit by the ruffle. Hints of sexy without being overly done. Length was perfect for me at 5’4”. I wore with a pair of metallic heels and mixed gold and silver jewelry. I likely won’t have another chance to wear it, but it was great for a special occasion.
