Hard to match and looser than expected
Thought it was black and cream. It’s brown and some kind of tan. I couldn’t figure out what to wear it with. I also needed a size down.

High quality - difficult to pair
I tried on, no exaggeration, every black skirt, shorts and pants I own and ended up last min getting this random clubby looking skirt off Amazon because nothing felt right with it (besides my ripped jeans but that wasn’t the vibe I was going for). It’s like thicker at the bottom so tucking it into anything like doesn’t work or looks weird, but it’s just slightly too long to be a true crop top - it hit like right at the top of my high waisted stuff. Such a shame because it’s beautiful quality and SO flattering.

Will rent again! ….but def 2 sizes up
I saw reviews saying it was short and I assumed people just weren’t comfortable in crop tops or something… nope, it’s REALLY short. I sized up thank goodness. If I had slightly bigger boobs there would’ve been under boob. Not to mention the arm holes were tiny too. Still loved it but will probably rent again in a Large

Would buy if the right size became available!
The only maternity short shorts I've found! I have short legs so I hate "mom length" shorts, wish there were more options like this. I'm typically a 26-27 in jeans & shorts and I've definitely got more junk in the trunk since pregnancy, so I've been super disappointed that there haven't been any other close size options available. Caved and got the 25 and they weren't bad in the hips just the butt/legs. Got like 2 wears out of them till I outgrew completely :(

I had a pair of earrings that matched perfectly! Also feeling comfortable enough to play pool in it
I rented this dress about a year ago in an XS (I like my clothes tight - bandage stuff especially) but even though that size usually works for me in Herve the strapless didn't because of my boobs m. I'm a 32DD and instead of tighter holding the dress in place like it sometimes does, it make the dress roll down so easily I couldn't wear it. Take 2 I got the small and it fit well, definitely better and more comfortably than the XS but even though my boobs weren't "popping out" like in the XS I still had trouble with the dress rolling down occasionally. Nothing that would deter me from wearing it but definitely had to keep pulling it up all night (especially on one side where from the looks of all the old fabric tape, all the other RTRers had trouble with too!). In any case I still loved the look and how it made me feel and If this was a plain colored dress and not a show stopping pattern I would have kept it for sure.

SO awesome!
It was new when I got it and it was so cool and cute and fun! When I lifted my arms it did get a little too short though so I didn't wear it. Maybe I'll rent a size up in the future - if I feel cool enough to rock this very different style.

Very pretty, maybe see through?
You know how in the right light a lot of dresses are see through? This one kind of is. Not enough to make me not wear it but just a heads up if you're super conscious of someone seeing the silhouette of your legs. The fabric isn't stretchy at all but the small was still loose enough for it to be a perfect summer dress.
Field of Daisies Maxi

Super weird yet somehow cute
Just a very loose and strange hanging top but I wore it with tight jeans and also another time with high waisted black shorts and I loved it! It's not something I would rent if I didn't have unlimited but I probably will rent it again at some point. Definitely have to wear a bra/bra top/cami underneath though.

So pretty
I usually just stick to pearls so these were a fun switch! A little bigger than I thought but still perfect.

Way too short - and I LOVE short :(
Rented it for a wedding in Napa. And I usually love short dresses but the fact that it was so loose and flowy and covering up top and then just stops right under my crotch made it look like I had forgotten pants, which is weird for me because I'm not modest at all. Also if I lifted my arms on both the 2 and the 4 it would pretty much show my crotch. I'm sure if you're of average to short height and you have not so thick and short legs like myself it might look more flattering but I would've had to size up A LOT to make it so, and it already looked like a giant (yet very pretty patterned and colored) potatoe sack on me.

Hard to match with but very pretty piece
I spent a whole week trying to find the right top in my closet to look right with this skirt and ended up just wearing it with a black cami because that's all I could make look right. Other than that this skirt is thick and in great condition and the colors are so pretty and different! As for size, maybe I like my skirts a little tighter than most but I think it would've been easier to match with tops of it were tighter...I'm sometimes a M on the bottom so I didn't think the small was going to be as not fitted as it was.
Homes Skirt

So small!
The waist hit way higher than my natural waist so maybe I have a longer torso than the Elizabeth and James fitmodel? Because the waist was right under my boobs the bottom of the dress hit right below my butt, which would be okay if it wasn't a fit and flare dress and so open a the bottom. My fiancé thought it looked fine, but the tightness at my arms and chest paired with the awkward new waist right under my boobs that it gave me made me send it back. Maybe I'll attempt it or another one of their dresses again but I'll definitely size up!

didn't have to worry about the dress moving or bra straps showing or looking bad from certain angles
Definitely extremely tight but because it's thick fabric it hugs just right and didn't show my panty line or unflattering lumps - in fact, it lifted my butt to the point where everyone thought I had this perfect big butt when I was feeling like my butt was incredibly flat/saggy that weekend haha major plus!
