Super cute
I am normally a size 10 but sized up in this one as the large was way too short and tight. This was a great “throw and go” dress and kept its shape all day. Could be dressed up or down.

Veda Denim Dress
Levi's
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 173lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Looks like tennis dress
Cute dress but it wasn't work appropriate - it's too short and flouncy and looked like a tennis dress on me. 1-2 inches longer would have made all the difference. I'm 5'3" for reference.
Malena Dress
Black Halo
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Cute top
I rented this as part of my Unlimited and may keep it. It runs pretty large so I may try to rent the Medium before buying. It is low in the back so your bra will show. I don't have the option of going braless so I just wore a hot pink one and let it show.
Annis Cami
The Odells
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12

Dressy
This dress was a lot fancier than I expected based on photo. Not a summer sundress
Ivory Lace V-Neck Dress
Self-Portrait
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12

Meh
This was OK. Arrived new with tags. The red was more muted than expected and I didn't like the fabric so I returned it unworn.
Ruffle Leopard Wrap Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Cute blazer
Rented for every day/work and really like it. I wore it with white jeans and a white shell to work and it pulled together the outfit. Will hang on to it to wear again hector returning.
Red Clarkson Blazer
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
A bit clubby
Ordered for work and it's not good for that, at least not on my body. It would be cute for a night out through. The top is really flattering
Clandestine Draped Dress
Bailey 44
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Cute and comfy
Wore this to work with jeans and black heels on casual Friday and got lots of compliments. I wore a cami underneath bc it wasn't work appropriate without. It's on the boxy side but was perfect for the office because it was trendy yet modest. I'll probably hang on to it and wear it a few more times.
Reagan Top
DREW
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Not for busty girls
Dress arrived new with tags. I was not able to wear it though bc it didn't come close to wrapping over my chest. A camisole would have looked awkward bc the gap was so large.
Chamomile Wrap Dress
Reformation
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Meh
Very unflattering on my curvy body. It was way too tight in the bust and pretty narrow in the hips.
Jones Striped Shirtdress
Tibi
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Meh
This was not for me. The dress was ankle length on me and the bust situation was just not working. Straps super long and it was indecent. Sending back. Felt very "bridesmaid-y"
Oxblood Pleated Sweetheart Dress
Nicole Miller
Size Worn: NONE

Would be better on a taller woman
This dress was OK, nothing great. I returned unworn. It was rather tight through the bust and it was too long on me - so long that it felt/looked dowdy. I think it would be much cuter on someone a few inches taller than my 5'3" frame.

Super fun but stretches!
This skirt is so fun - I loved it! It was pretty snug when I pulled it on (even contemplated spanx with it) but was literally falling down by lunch. It lost a lot of its shape by the end of the day (i.e. saggy booty) so I don't think I can wear it again without having it cleaned to resize. Would definitely rent again but would size down to a medium. I'm generally a size 10 for reference.
Side Flounce Skirt
Opening Ceremony
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Very tight in bust
Pretty dress but I couldn't wear it. I went up a size due to availability and it was still way too snug in the bust. There's no give at all and the seam cut straight across my chest, creating a quad boob situation that was uncomfortable and obviously unflattering. Bummed.
Samba Batik Flower Printed Maxi Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Arrived without slip
Cute dress but it arrived without the slip so I couldn't wear it. I don't own anything that will work under it and the armholes are too big to go without something underneath. Total bummer.
Frankenthaler Dress
Elk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
No give
The color is more muted than pictured, sort of a soft coral. It's a cute style but was very snug in the chest and was very short, just hitting the top of my jeans. Sending back unworn as I just don't think it will be comfortable for a day in New Orleans. The fabric has no give.
Eyelet Bess Top
Saylor
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Small in bust
Great spring dress - colors are beautiful. It was way too small in the bust though. It was basically just a deep v to the waist and you could see 2/3 of my bra. It was such a wide gap that a cami wouldn't have looked good. Bummer.
Margo Wrap Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Nice basic
This dress is a great heavyweight material and is very forgiving. The scalloped neckline added some character. I paired it with a navy cardigan for the office and got a lot of compliments. I would rent again.
Scalloped Jane Knit Dress
John + Jenn
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Good work dress
Arrived new with tags and is a great material that doesn't wrinkle. I loved the way this looked from the front and it was very forgiving in the midsection but the back bunched awkwardly on me. I got around it by wearing a long Halogen cardigan over it. I ordered up a size so that may have been the cause but I wanted to be comfortable for all day meetings.
Knotted Ellis Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36DDD/E
Not for the well endowed
This dress is beautiful. it runs really long and it's form fitting through the waist. (I'm 5'3" and definitely would have needed heels or wedges.) I wanted to love it but it's just too small in the bust for me, almost to the point of indecency. I had hoped to wear it this weekend for patio drinks but I would have been entirely too self conscious.

Boxy fit
This arrived new with tags and the colors are great. It makes me look HUGE though and I'm returning unworn. It's a very boxy cut - almost as wide as it is long - and was just not very flattering on me at all. I felt like SpongeBob Squarepants.

Good Work Option
Comfy dress and I got some compliments on it. I initially thought it didn't come with the belt (which it definitely needs) so be sure to check the pockets of the garment bag. I did have to wear a camisole under the dress bc of gaping between the buttons. I like it!
Citronelle Tilly Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Way too short
Had high hopes for this as an easy work day dress but it was way too short in the front. Like too long to be a shirt but too short for a dress. Sending back unworn. It has silver metallic threads throughout which isnt clear from the photo (but is prob in the description!)

Rented to wear in Iceland and it served its purpose well. Nothing fancy about this sweater but its cute and good for every day wear

So small
This jacket was tiny. I rented the large and am normally a size 10 and it looked like i was wearing a child's jacket. Its beautiful though and i would have loved it had it fit.

Cute, runs large
This sweater runs really large. Its cute w/leggings but i didnt want to waste a rental on something to wear lounging around the house

Cute but not for me
This jacket is cute wme appears well made. It didnt do much for me and was more metallic-y than i anticipated. Rented as part of Unlimited and returning unworn to exchange for something i might get more wear out of. Had hoped to wear this to the office on friday with jeans but am not feeling it.

Fabulous top
Really happy with this one. The ruching on the sleeves is a nice touch and the top is forgiving but not so loose that it looks sloppy. Considering purchasing.

This is a great top! It has a shelf bra built in but I️ still wore a strapless. It's really flattering

Really fun
This is such a fun piece. I would never buy it but was fun to wear. Just threw on leggings and a black long sleeved tee under and paired with knee boots.

Rented as part of Unlimited but returning unworn bc it is super snug in the arms and shoulders.

Not flattering to me
Wanted to love this but it did not flatter. It was tight on my post-Thanksgiving belly and the neckline was not flattering. Returning unworn

Great pants
Loved these pants. They are not my usual style at all but rented as part of Unlimited. They were a little snug in the waist so I returned unworn - was worried about tight silk pants and how they would hold up throughout the day. Otherwise very flattering though!
Brigette Pants
PIAMITA
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Very short
I was really excited about this one but it was not flattering on me. I'm short and curvy and the dress was short (maybe 4 in above my knees) and very wide. The ruffles accentuated my hips but not in a good way. It's a pretty print and color though and I'll bet it would look good on someone thinner than me. Rented as part of Unlimited so sending back unworn.
Red Feather Tilly Ruffle Dress
SALONI

Very cute
Wore this for family photos last weekend and then again to a football game and got lots of compliments. I will say that it comes unsnapped easily but very cute
Gavin Canvas Vest
Marissa Webb
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10

Easy to wear
Rented this for every day/work. It's a great transition piece now that it's nearly fall but still 95 degrees out. It's not the most flattering ever but it was very comfortable and easy to wear. The hooks on the top are a joke - you can see that I wore a camisole underneath. I also had a long cardigan for the office (for meetings)

So fun!
This dress is great! I am generally a 10-12 and this is the large. It's fitted on the midsection but there's ample room in the chest area and the front slits are so fun. Rented to wear to Napa this weekend and may end up keeping this one!
Printed Jonah Maxi
TULAROSA
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10

Cute
I have a lot of DVF dresses - wouldn't say they are the most flattering on me but they work so well for work and the transition to post-work activities. I got a lot of compliments on this one at work and it's fun to wear a style I normally couldn't afford. (This one is expensive, even by DVF standards.). Also, it's on the short side when I'll take into account the sheer ruffle. I'm wearing a Tuxe bodysuit underneath which makes it more comfortable!
Pink Nieves Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 12

Great colors
Wore this to work on casual Friday. The open back necessitated a cardigan and the dress was super long on me so I had to wear wedges. Very comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. This dress runs large and I wished I had ordered a medium.
