Fun Dress
This was a great wedding guest dress. We were outdoors, and I felt like both a mermaid and a flower at the same time. Surprisingly comfortable and petite height friendly.

Pretty but long
Overall, this was a nice wedding guest dress. The color is very bright, the pleats and side details are interesting, you can eat and not feel restricted, and it’s flowy and fun to dance in. I took a star off for fit. I’m small-busted, so the 2 felt better than the 4 in the bodice but still slid down a bit throughout the night. The regular dress is very long. Even in 3-4 inch heels there was fabric dragging for me. A petite size would have been better but the 2P was not available to rent when I placed my order.

I held onto this dress for so long and heavily debated purchasing it. It’s a cotton, waist snatching, tea-length dress. I wore it to work, to a conference, to a wedding event, and to a baby shower. It is very easy to dress up and down.

Such a Fun Dress
This dress was so fun to wear for a wedding reception. I’m in between an XS and S and chose a size up for this dress and boy did I make the right choice. The waist has to be tight to keep all the fabric in place. I shockingly did not need any fashion tape because of how the fabric drapes. All in all, an excellent rental.

Loved the color of the sweater, but a little itchy. A size S would have been perfect, but it wasn't available, so I rented the M. Worked out fine, but I could tell it was a little too big in certain areas like the shoulders.

Different Fit in Person
Looking at the pictures, I thought this pant was going to fit like a flared jean. Putting them on, they're actually more of a cropped trouser that tapers at the leg. The corduroy is cool, but the fabric is thick, so it makes the pant feel bulky.

Fun Jacket
I had a lot of fun wearing this jacket in a variety of settings (at work, on a date, more casually). The material is a cross between wool and felt, so it's soft and thick. Every outfit was an exercise in toeing the line between senator's wife and chic European, and it was thrilling to see which side of this incredibly thin line I would fall on next.

Military Vibes
This was a tea length dress on me (5' 3"), so it was a lot of fabric. It's a fun departure from my usual work looks, but it can easily veer into looking extremely tight-laced and military-esque depending on how it's styled. There's a lining in the body of the dress that makes it warm for cold weather - my biggest critique of the design is the only part that isn't lined are the shoulders, so you get this sweaty skin on pleather phenomenon that isn't the greatest.

Okay Pant
The brown color and houndstooth pattern are nice for work, but I was disappointed in the elastic waist band. The pants otherwise fit true to size, but the waist band was loose and would slide down if I had something like my phone in the pocket. So it would look good when it was pulled up, but it would start to look a bit sloppy when it sagged.

This was a nice satiny pant for work. The only issue I had was with the waistband: it's elastic and was a bit loose, so it slid down through the day.

Fun Dress
This dress has a super fun cutout and backless silhouette. It was a little tighter than I would have liked, and the fabric does not stretch. It is also v short, just a heads up. I got the S and probably could have sized up.

Great top but odd fit
I liked wearing this vest a lot on its own or over another top, but the fit was a touch off. It was wider up top and narrower at the bottom, so it sat a little funny.

Sleep top to dress up or down
I would have rented the S instead of the XS if it was available. The XS fit, but it peeked open at the buttons a bit when I sat down. The ruching is very fun. The fabric looks like it would be stretchy, but there is no real give, so I would recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes.

Fun dress!
When I first saw this dress on the hanger, I was sure there was no way it was going to fit on my body. But she does stretch! Super fun print to wear to work. There is a liner in it as well, and you can button up the neckline, so it is easy to make work appropriate.

I have gone back and forth on buying this blazer too many times to count. It is oversized, but I love that kind of fit. It has a soft silk lining too. I rented the whole suit set, and it was so fun to wear all together as well as separate pieces.

Odd Fit
The fit of this vest was odd. It was structured to accommodate the bust, but I could not fill out the space with my A-B cup, so it left an obvious gap. I could have potentially sized down. The neckline is a lot lower than the picture makes it seem. I'm suspicious they pinned the back of the vest for the model in the picture to pull everything up higher. I really wanted to wear the vest on its own with the matching pants, but I had to use safety pins to make the neckline work appropriate.

I sized up to a 6 from my usual 2 because I could not button the 2 at all, and I like having a little more space in the waistband in general. The 6 fit really well, and the length was great for my height. It brushed the top of my feet.

Great business casual dress
I wore this dress for a conference, and I felt amazing! It is a thick material that feels luxurious. I totally understand what some other reviewers were saying about the white line cutting pretty high on the waist. I have a short torso, so the design did not feel off on me. An XS fit perfectly but I preferred a more relaxed feel, so I ended up wearing the size up.

OBSESSED
I loved this dress so much. The color, cut, and fabric were amazing, and I felt so fabulous at the wedding I attended. I did have to size up for the bodice to zip up. I’m 5’3”, and the petite length worked great. The bottom of the dress just dusted the ground in a pair of heels. The only unfortunate thing is the straps aren’t adjustable. I ended up using a bit of fashion tape to hold the bodice in place. Overall would highly, highly recommend!

Fun Dress
This was a fun dress to wear to dinner on vacation. I dropped a star because the fabric was pretty clingy/unforgiving - shapewear and underwear will not sneak by. I also felt like the cut was a little dated with the high neck and body con type fit.

I liked the thicker, canvas-y material of this dress. I did have to size up. It was fitted at the waist, but I have a smaller chest, so the bust was a little loose. It was overall a very pretty dress, but I wasn’t head over heels for it.

I posted this dramatic photo because I FELT dramatic in this dress. I wore it for a wedding, and it was the absolute best. The dress is made out of a stretchy, forgiving material that survived an outdoor wedding, involving hiking up a partial incline. It is a bit long for someone my height (5’ 3” without heels), but I still loved wearing it. Also, there are massive shoulder pads built-in that did surprise me but added to the general vibe.

Nearly Perfect
This dress would have been perfect if not for the sizing. It’s made out of a very pretty and stretchy velvet material. The bodice is a more structured plate with boning. What would have been my true size (the 2) fit perfectly in the bodice, but it was too snug in the rear (I’m slightly pear shaped), so it ended up bunching up and the slit sat a bit too high. After sizing up to the 4, the bottom of the dress laid a lot better, but the dress was a little too loose and lost a bit of its spicy appeal. I ended up wearing the 4 to the event. Overall, it was a comfortable dress and a really stunning idea for a silhouette. But I was a bit disappointed by the fit.

Perfect wedding guest dress
The tulle was so light and fun with the right amount of drama and glamour. I got many kind compliments. I ended up sizing up for comfort. The 0 fit like a glove, but I didn’t want to feel sealed up. I think having the fit be a bit more relaxed helps keep the dress from looking too uptight - the bodice is a touch loose on the model in the photos, and I liked that vibe. All in all, I was so happy with this dress. I felt great and was able to eat and dance as I pleased.

Foley and Romantic
This dress was beautiful, and I legitimately felt like royalty in it. I loved the material, the fit, and the overall flowiness of silhouette. It’s a heavier material, so the skinny straps help keep the dress up. You could tuck the straps away and wear it as an off-the-shoulder dress, but I opted not to because I didn’t want to think about having to pulling the top up during the event I was at. XS fit great - there’s a lot of stretch in the part that goes around the bust - that would probably be the limiting factor in terms of size along with the tightness of the off-the-shoulder straps. This dress also has pockets!!

SPICY
I felt like I was absolutely serving in this dress. The top provided reliable coverage after tying the neck strap tight. There will be underboob and middle side boob action. The material is canvas-like, so it felt sturdy. The bottom part of the dress is narrow and hard to get over the hips: I probably would have fit in the XS based on my chest size but needed the S to fit my waist. Overall, a very fun dress that I would highly recommend. It also successfully survived road testing on the dance floor!

Lovely Dress
I rented this dress to give a formal presentation, and it was perfect. I was surprised that the material felt like a thicker polyester, but it was sturdy and held up well against the hot and humid summer weather. I liked that the dress was conservative in its length and high neck but still had a fun print and a tie at the waist to help define it. Things I learned after renting the dress: there's a hidden zipper on the side that can help you get into the dress, and the dress has pockets!

An audience came up to me after the show to ask me where I had gotten my stunning dress from!
I ordered the XS with a S as a backup. The material of the dress is stretchy, so the XS fit well. This dress has a very deep V and is pretty short. I almost wore it backwards because I was worried about pulling off such a deep neckline, but using petals and fashion tap made me feel a lot more tucked in. In the end, I just decided I had to commit to the V. This was a pretty daring silhouette and not my usual style, but I enjoyed wearing it for the show I was a part of and the afterparty.
