Wore at 17 weeks and loved it
Super cute, soft, lightweight fabric. Print is even better in person than in the photo. Cut very well for pregnancy - both early pregnancy (I'm only showing a little at 17 weeks), but I'd also imagine it would be great for later in the pregnancy since the front is very forgiving. The back is cut lower and covers the butt which would be helpful if you wanted to pair this with leggings.

Ankle-length work pants - but wait until you're later in pregnancy
I'm 4 months pregnant and none of my normal work pants fit - but these didn't either, because they were too big. The fit was great along legs and butt (true to size) but I had to keep pulling them up all day because the waist was huge. I suspect that if I rented these in a few months they'd be a lot better, so note to my fellow pregnant ladies - these aren't great for early maternity wear.

Cute but awkward to style
Really really wanted to love this, since the print is adorable. However, I think it was just too much fabric for my frame (I'm barely 5'3). I also really wished the neckline hadn't been so low because I had to wear a camisole underneath it to make it work-appropriate. Probably a better rental for events where you feel comfortable showing a lot of cleavage.

So many compliments
Absolutely love this dress. I was planning on wearing it once and sending back but think I'll keep it for another week because it's so stylish and comfortable. I wore it out to a nice dinner in NYC and paired it with boots, but it was also appropriate in the office. The belt (which comes with it in a separate bag) is a must.

Lots of compliments but runs small in torso
Super cute for everyday wear but felt weirdly short-waisted (and I'm pretty short). Generally, found the torso and chest to be a little tighter than I would like. Usually a size 4 and the 6 was very snug on me.

Really cute but huge in the bust
Wanted to wear this, but it was absolutely huge in the bust. I'm a 34B and it was falling off me.

Cutest shirtdress ever
Really really was tempted to buy this dress. It's comfortable and can be dressed up or down so easily. I wore it with a belt and thought it worked better than without. The pockets are great and the pink stitching really pops. One of my favorite rentals.

This dress was made for Italy
Wore this dress on two separate days in Italy and loved it. It's comfortable and so flattering. I did have to safety pin the neckline so my bra didn't show, but other than that it was perfect.

Perfect vacation jumpsuit
Loved this jumpsuit SO much. Wore it several days in a row in Italy and took tons of photos :) As previous reviewers have noted, if you're on the shorter side (I'm 5'3) the pants will be closer to full length as opposed to ankle.

Loose and comfortable
Extremely comfortable, loose romper with a cute floral print. As previous reviews have noted, very lightweight fabric that could be translucent in some lights. Not form-fitting, but the tie at waist does help give it some shape.

Comfy & flattering
Wore this to dinner & a show in NYC on a cool spring evening with a trench over it. I wore my usual size, small, which was perfect for length (I'm 5'3, wore it with heeled booties) but big in the bust (usually 34B) and then tight in the shoulders. So, a little odd, but overall a cute floral pattern and looks "special" for a date or night out!

Lovely work blouse
Love the fit and versatility of this lightweight top. The color is a very very pale blue which I was worried would wash me out, but didn't. The material is paper-thin and tucks nicely into a pencil skirt without awkward bunching. Looked great under a blazer and also alone with dress pants. Will definitely rent again.

So cute but basically unwearable
I was so excited for this but don't see how most people could wear it on an everyday basis. The neckline is so low that you'd have to use fashion tape in order to secure it. My usual size (4) was the right length and fit in the shoulders, but the neckline absolutely gaped open.

Obsessed with this
Maybe my favorite RTR ever. It's true to size (wish I'd had a 4 instead of a 6; 4 is my usual size). Had to pin the neckline a little because it was big. But even with that, it's the most comfortable jumpsuit I've ever work and the print is gorgeous and summery. Wanted to buy it!

Lots of compliments
Loved the color and cut of this fun springtime skirt. Runs a little tight around the waist. Wore it with sneakers and also heels, works both ways.

Lots of compliments on this winter work dress
Absolutely loved this dress and almost bought it! The length was perfect for a short woman (I'm 5'3) with tights, but would have been a touch short without tights. The fabric is warm but not overly heavy; great for winter. I paired it with a black blazer and the color of the gold buttons really popped. Lots of compliments and will rent again next winter.

Fun dress, lots of material
I'm petite and normally don't wear dresses with this much fabric, but the sleeves and print convinced me! Definitely more of a cold-weather dress because of the long sleeves and longer length. I tied the wrap waist pretty tight, but there was still a lot of fabric. Didn't have to pin the neckline at all which was nice.

Too tight for work
Rented this to wear under a blazer in court and it was more like a dress for bar-hopping on the weekend. Absolutely skin tight and very thin material. Didn't wear it.

Size up if you're wearing this to work
I rented my standard size (4) and while it fit, it was more like a dress to wear out to a bar on a Friday night than an office-appropriate work dress. Very, very form-fitting. Nice fabric but didn't wear it because it was too sexy for work.
Bond Dress

Nice pattern & material but runs big
This is a cross between a blazer & a coat because the material is quite heavy. If you're looking for a more tailored blazer, this isn't it. However, I liked the style and wore it several times with sheath dresses & pencil skirts in my business-formal work environment. It looks much better left open & purposely a little slouchy; when it's buttoned, it has the unflattering effect of making you appear larger than life because it's not a slim-cut blazer. Still, a good winter rental.

Classic & elegant
Rented this for work (I'm a litigator and need court-appropriate clothes). It would have been too short without tights (and I'm only 5'3!) but was fine with tights. It's tight but not too tight for work. Love the bow detail at the neck. The material is thick through the body of the dress and thin and silky in the arms.

Lovely color, unusual neckline
Wore this dress for a winter wedding and got loads of compliments! The purple color is vibrant and looks better in person than in the photos. I didn't need a bra and felt fine dancing all night! The straps are adjustable, which really helps.

Sexy lace dress for colder weather
I wore this dress in Vegas for a night out - dinner and bar/casino hopping. It was December and chilly outside, and I appreciated the long sleeves. The dress was a little big on me in some places (shoulders, back) but also very short (it rode up when I sat down), so I don't think I would have sized down. The color is very vibrant and the cut is really attractive.

Perfect little white dress for the bachelorette
I wore this for my bachelorette party in Austin, TX. I rented the S and XS and ended up wearing the XS without a bra - it fit very snugly (and the fabric isn't sheer) so I didn't feel exposed. The skirt flares out and is classically flattering. The pockets are really fun and the criss-cross back adds a little more detail. It was the perfect dress for dinner and a night out with my bridesmaids!

Perfect red dress for a wedding or special evening!
I wore this dress to a spring wedding. It was perfect and I got so many compliments! I am usually a size 4 but ordered the 2 and 4 and the 2 fit better, probably because I have a smaller chest (34B) and am on the shorter side (5'3). The lace neckline is gorgeous and dramatic without being too revealing, and the pockets are extra fun. I felt pretty and flirty and even fell asleep in the dress on the bus ride home - it was that comfortable.

Perfect for "Law School Prom"
This dress fit really well once I fashion-taped it to my strapless bra in a couple of places. I'm a 34B so someone with a larger bra size might not need any tape. It's a nice twist on the class LBD- the neckline is flattering for your collarbones and shoulders, and the gold embellishment is pretty. It was very comfortable.

Gorgeous dress for a fancy night!
You absolutely must rent this dress! I'd never worn a full-length dress before but am so glad I did. The fit is extremely flattering and the fabric smooths over your body perfectly. I have a smaller chest but you'd never know it - the dress does amazing things for cleavage, if that's what you're looking for. I'm normally a 4P in dresses and I wore the 4R here, which is maybe why it was a couple of inches too long. I could have solved the problem by buying taller heels, though - mine were about 2.5 inches tall. I got a million compliments on the dress and wish I had another occasion to wear it to!
