My new favorite summer go to!
This is a great, light-weight, versatile blouse. Wear it with jeans, shorts, skirt, blazer, whatever - look good and stay cool. It fits well, with no pulling in the chest. I'm only returning it to get a clean one to travel to a work conference with! Definitely on the short-list to buy.

It didn't feel "lux" to me
There was nothing wrong with the dress. It fit well and the colors were pretty true. But I was expecting material that was luxurious or butter-soft or decadent. Instead it felt like material that was basic athletic gear, only thicker. If you want to play an intense tennis match and worry about sweat-stained clothing, this might do the trick. But I didn't like it enough to wear the whole day.

Oversized and uncomfortable
I generally like loungewear of this type, but this piece just didn't do it for me. The fabric bothered the back of my neck and there just seemed to be too much material. I could possibly have sized down, but I'm not sure if I would have had enough room in the chest.

Lovely dress, wish I could have worn it
I sized up, guessing at my size, and went too big. It was well made and the fabric felt comfortable. It had a classic look and would definitely keep you cool in the office or after work or at a garden party. I'm bummed because it had the tags! Next time, I'll get the smaller size. (I'm in between 10 and 12 and the XL was just too big.)

Loved the feel of this dress
I sized up to make sure I had room in the bust - I went too far. I'm currently between 10 and 12 and the XL was too big. I could wear it, but it looked large on me. Next time, I'll go with the L. I can wear this all day, for work, for lounging, for errands, wineries, shopping, galleries, whatever. It's cool, comfortable, and looks good.

Comfortable and good looking work/play option
I've been having issues with waists being really small in the items I've rented lately, so I sized way up. Nope - I went too far. I'm in-between a 10 and a 12. The XL was literally falling off my waist (I was so disappointed because the skort still had the tags on!). But in the brief time I wore this, I was impressed with the quality, look, and comfort. I'll rent again but I'll go smaller.

small waist; size way up
(EDIT: I thought I rented the 12 the first time, but I actually rented the 10, so it's not "impossible small", just "small waisted".) Size up at least 1 size for these pants. I'm in-between a 10 and 12. The 10 was laughably small (I didn't even try to get them on) and the 12 was just barely large enough. I could wear them but it was tight.

Good for short legs
I really like the length of these pants - they're great for folks with short legs. But the waist is small, so size up. Other than that, they are comfortable and go from office to after-work drinks to casual weekends with no issues.

Great, casual top
I sized up and I didn't need to. The top was large, but looked oversized rather than too big. It looked good and was quite comfortable. Would be fine for a casual work day, running errands, a cool evening out, visiting wineries on the weekend, or just hanging out.

Versatile summer dress
I wore this several times for work (I work at home, but I would have worn it to the office had I been going in those days) and it was cool and comfortable sitting at a desk or outside running errands. I did size up so didn't have any issue with pulling or gaping. I'd rent again.

Casual/dressy; I really liked the look
I would have loved this top except that it was just a little scratchy (sometimes) around the next when I had it buttoned. I wore it with a mauve tank under it and I could wear it buttoned or unbuttoned.

Got compliments
This was a bit large (I sized up too much) and it felt frilly (even though it really wasn't). If I decide to try it again, I'll get one size smaller. I got compliments one on it, and it was quite comfortable, but it wasn't really my style.

Loved this shirt but sized up too much
Next time, I'm getting one size smaller (I sized up because I always need more room in the bust with button down shirts, but I went up too much). It was wearable - just gave me more of an oversized look - but I could have worn one size smaller and still have been comfortable.

just a bit too orange
this was bright and flowy and comfortable; it looked great with jeans. But the red was more orange than it looked in the picture (which means it wasn't my color red) and I wasn't looking to stand out for that particular event. With this top, it's nearly impossible to fade into the background.

size up if going anywhere really cold
I really liked this coat but (as I expected), it only looks like it's designed for true winter. If you're going anywhere that really does winter (like New England, upstate NY, PA, MI, WI, MT, etc) it's great as a top coat, so size up at least one (I went two) sizes, to fit lots of layers underneath. With the layers, I was comfortable and I got lots of compliments.

great winter top - but size up
I loved the color of this sweater. Even though it's wool, it's comfortable worn as a single layer, but it does run small, so size up. I went two sizes up, but that was too far, so just one is probably fine.

comfortable but blousy
I'm usually between sizes but have gained weight, so sized up - don't for this shirt. The shirt wasn't so big I couldn't wear it (at least looking at me) but I felt like I was swimming in it all day. Aside from that, it was a great selection - tuck it in; leave it out/dress it up;dress it down - user's choice. It worked well in office A/C and 80-degree commuting.

Mind the gap
I really wanted to wear this dress but the gap between the buttons in the bust was just too much (and I had trouble maneuvering a safety pin). Since the style was not quite right for what I wanted it for, I just gave up. I may try again later in a larger size.

Loved it, but size up for the bust
This is one size larger than I usually wear (I've put on weight recently) but even taking that into account, the bust was snug (the rest fit beautifully). The top was comfortable and wasn't obviously small in the bust, but there's not much give in the fabric, so it's a bit of work to get on and off.

Great material and 2 different looks, depending on whether you hook the button at the neck. Can easily be dressed down by pairing with jeans. Loved the feel and will definitely rent again.

The fit was ok and the material felt nice, but it showed all my rolls. It might have been ok with a body smoother/shaper, but I don't like to wear those when it's really hot.

I loved this!
I wasn't sure about the asymmetrical neck, but it looked great. There's stretch to the material, so it's quite comfortable. I wore it to work and could have also worn it out after. It's easy to dress up or pair it with jeans and dress down.

not fond of "poofy" but I still liked it
This was lovely to wear in warmer weather. In cooler weather, sweaters and jackets didn't fit well over the poofed sleaves. And there's very little give in the fabric so I sized up (I'm between sizes) and am glad I did.
