Loved!
I loved this dress, wore it twice. Need a strapless bra and a thong. Material fit snugly but was pretty stretchy. Would definitely rent again.

Decent top
I liked but didn't love this top. The neck was quite high and the material wasn't stretchy. Snug fit on me and I'm pretty narrow on top.

Was shapeless on me
As noted above, hung oddly on me. Also didn't love the drop waist. Didn't wear.

So cute!
This is a great casual dress. Based on my daughter trying it on as well, is not as great for people with larger chests, the buttons pulled on her. I loved it, it was very comfortable and light on a hot night.

Loved this classic knit
I was a little worried based on the model's photos of how this would hang on me and if it was going to cling in all the wrong places, but it looked great on. I did wear the Spanx that go down to the knee for a smooth line. Really comfortable and I was very tempted to keep it.

Not that flattering
Nice fabric. Both my daughter and I tried it on and it hung oddly on both of us. Neither of us ended up wearing it. Maybe would be better for less curvy folks.

To me, it looked like a black bathrobe on. Did not wear.

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"

Cute fabric but didn't love the fit
Very baggy on top, couldn't bend over in it, even with the straps tightened. Also a lot of fabric, so takes up a lot of room in your suitcase if traveling. Didn't wear.
Sleeveless Floral Midi Dress

Pretty dress!
It was great for a tropical vacation, but the fit on top was a little odd. It pulled a bit in front, but the stretchy back felt almost too loose. Tons of fabric also took a lot of room in my suitcase, but it looked very nice on.
Summer Lilies Halter Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 32D
Cute but low cut!
I really liked the look of this top. It has cute buttons near the wrist and a pretty ruffle down the front. The fabric is light but not sheer with a fun pattern. My main problem with this blouse is that the top is low cut and very flowy, so every time I bent over, you could see everything! It is lower than it looks in the picture with the model. Maybe a smaller size would have had less gapping in the front, but I think the shoulders would have been too small. Wore it twice, but the second time I wore it, at a party in someone's home, I was super self-conscious every time I reached over for some food or bent over to throw something out.

Too bright for me.
I love orange and thought I would love this top, but in person it was just too crazy for me. As another reviewer said, it screams Halloween. It fit great and is made from nice material, but I never ended up wearing it and sent it right back.

Loved this dress!
I'm 5'5" and a typical size 6, and the small was perfect on me. I wore it to work, but you can definitely use this dress for a whole variety of occasions in addition to work. The material was stretchy and very comfortable to wear all day. The cut was perfect for my body. Very cute. Would rent again.

Leota
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4

Nice dress but a little odd fitting
Pros: nice, heavy, stretchy material. Lovely print. Hugs the body nicely but not suffocating. Looks great on while standing still. Cons: quite long--I'm 5'5" and it was several inches below my knees, though I was wearing it to a religious occasion so not a problem. However, the dress is very narrow all the way down so can't take big strides while walking. As others have noted, a bit of a trick to get on, though I found it much easier to take off. Bunched up around my middle as I walked in it. YMMV. This would be a nice dress for a conservative office, a religious event, dinner out with clients, maybe date night. I liked it and my husband really liked it on me, but I'm not sure I would rent it again.

Great dress!
This dress is beautifully made and looks great on. I'm glad I read other reviews, as I would have ordered a small (I'm a 6) but I got a medium and it fit perfectly. The material is heavy and high quality, the two colors and interesting hemline make the dress a winner. I wore it to a religious occasion, but it would do well for a date night, work, after work party, special birthday dinner, etc. I loved it and would rent it again!

Beautiful comfy dress!
I wore this to a black tie wedding. I am usually a 6, which fit fine, but the 8 hung better on me, perhaps because I am a pear shape. At 5'5" I found the dress a little long even with 2.5" heels, so I used hemming tape to take up the front. The back of the dress is longer than the front; I did not tape it up and it did get stepped on a little over the course of the evening. Strapless bra worked perfectly and a high-waisted shaper helped smooth out any bumps as the dress is pretty clingy. I felt great in the dress all night and loved that it had stretch to it so dancing was no problem!
