Runs small would be an understatement
To say this runs small would be an understatement. I'm usually a 4/6 or S and the M wouldn't even zip, and didn't even come down to my hips. Really disappointed! I haven't rented anything else from the brand so maybe just always runs small, but was surprised!

One of my favorite dress silhouettes!
I've rented this same silhouette before, in a long sleeved version, and find that I really love it and always feel comfortable but chic. Wore this on an insanely hot day, and dress held up pretty well, though did tend to wrinkle as the day progressed. Loved the fun colors and pattern and was able to accessorize with some of my favorite items. Find runs true to size for Veronica Beard, was comfortable with a bit of extra room in the 6 but don't know that a 4 would have worked.

Beautiful and flattering
Rented this for a summer wedding, but ultimately ended up not wearing it. Dress is beautiful and flattering, but would have required shapewear and was a bit too tight for a 90 degree day! Would definitely rent again for a cooler day / night!

Ruffles make it easy!
Rented this for a rehearsal dinner in Charleston - the attire was "dressy formal" and I loved how flirty this dress was. Very comfortable, and the ruffles are definitely forgiving! I did have to pin the top considerably (and still was rather low cut in pictures - but personal preference, I just don't like that look on me), and the wrap opens right in the center so can show a little more leg than you'd like. I used fashion tape to try to hold it together but next time would probably pin it, as the tape didn't hold throughout the night. Standing is totally fine, as was sitting at dinner because I could use my napkin, but I wouldn't recommend this for an event if you're going to be sitting a lot! Really liked the colors and was fun to accessorize with.

Perfect little wrap
I've rented this dress twice - once, to wear to work (a little short but doable with flats) and out for a day in Saratoga, and the second to wear while my cousin tried on wedding dresses. It wears really well and doesn't get overly wrinkled even with a full day (and night!) of wear. It's so easy - you can wear with a normal bra, wraps beautifully, overall classic DVF (I'm +1-2 sizes, I could have probably gone true to size in this but was worried about length). The pattern is also precious - it's a great daytime dress that looks like you tried really hard. Got compliments from men and women alike.

Wedding perfection
I absolutely love this jumpsuit! I'm not generally a jumpsuit gal, but this one hit a high note. First, I could zip/unzip it myself (hallelujah). And while the material is very thick, it wasn't overly hot for an 80 degree wedding. The cut of the jumpsuit is extremely flattering - I was worried about the wide leg pant but may be now on board with this trend. I sized up 2 sizes from my normal size, and was happy I did so. It was comfortable and I wasn't worried about it pulling and the pockets bulging out. It was also a perfect length - I'm 5'10. I wore with silver ankle strap heels, rhinestone earrings and a statement red lip. Got so many compliments and most of all was comfortable and looks fantastic in pictures (this is a first!).

Obsessed! But definitely "chesty"
Really loved this dress - found it to be the perfect option for a black tie optional wedding. The fabric is thick and absolutely beautiful - the colors are muted enough that I had a ton of options for accessories, and went with a slight pop with lilac shoes. I ended up wearing the larger size because after a few days of pre wedding celebrations, the smaller size was WAY too tight. The dress is definitely a bit revealing - I'm a 36B and was popping out a bit. I used a nu bra to help prop everything up, and taped myself in. I was fine through the night but a little more fidgety and self conscience that I usually prefer. But the dress was so beautiful that all of that was Worth it - and it has pockets! I'm 5'10 and the length was perfect - just at my ankles. Really loved this one!

Wore these for a wedding with the MONIQUE LHUILLIER Garden Jacquard Gown -!they complimented it perfectly and added a few n element. Earrings are very lightweight.

Great bridal shower dress!
Really liked this dress - it's easy, comfortable, and overall a good pick. It's brighter than pictures but in what I considered to be a good way- and it really highlights a tan! It's does fit a bit large - the hips/pockets definitely are roomy - but I think if I had sized down it would have been too tight. The shoulders are also great - I wore with a sticky bra but any strapless would work. Length wise, I'm 5'10, and it was an appropriate length for the occasion.

Way too shiny
I was excited about this top as a casual but cute date night outfit with jeans. The pictures don't quite show it, but it is VERY shiny silky material. For me, that totally dated the shirt, especially coupled with the floral pattern. Shirt overall ran very large, would suggest sizing down. The opening in the front cuts very low and somewhat wide, which could have been cute if a size smaller. For me, the material was the biggest deal breaker, but that's an issue of personal preference.

Couldn't wear to work...
Really beautiful dress, very cute - the sleeve and shoulder detail is perfect! However, I had to run back home to change after the chest buttons continued to pop and gape on the way to work. I don't have a large chest and sized up in this, so would venture to say it's cut a bit small (I am rather 'large boned' so that could always be part of it!).

Perfect easy white dress!
I was nervous this would be tight so I went with the larger option (48/12) as part of my unlimited subscription. If I rent again, will probably try the 10. The dress is a scuba material, and has a lining in the chest area that made it possible to wear a standard bra. I opted for spanx but really didn't need them given the amount of room I had in the body of the dress. I love the bell sleeves - they got in the way a bit at dinner but sitting down that is to be expected. The length was perfect - appropriate for a dinner with conservative family. Wore with wedges to dinner and with tights and booties to the office to get an extra wear out of it! To note - I would not consider the color a true winter white - it's got a grayish tinge, and the bottom hem is unfinished but does not take away from the dress.

So many compliments!
Really loved this dress - easy and comfortable. Wore with standard strapless bra and wedges; length hit mid calf. My boyfriend absolutely loved it, and it was flattering from both front and side. One minor con was that it wrinkled pretty easily, though FL humidity may have had a hand in that. Will definitely rent again for my next vacation!

SO SMALL!
This dress is really cute - and I had high hopes - but it was just way too tight. I had visions of this with tights and thigh high boots for a date night. I could barely zip it and knew I'd never make it through the night. I'm a 36B and it completely flattened my chest from the side (though from the front it definitely didn't look flat!). I can usually fit into a medium, or a small large but this was definitely really cut small! The material is thick and great quality, and the buttons on the cuff are covered and adorable - For those of you on the smaller side please rent so I can live vicariously through you :-)

Very cute but wrinkles easily
Love the detail on this - the pockets and stitching on the dress are extremely flattering. Fit like a standard shift with a bit more shape to it - still super easy to wear. Work appropriate length, with tights, for a tall girl. Would probably love to have this as a staple in my closet - the color is absolutely beautiful- but it did wrinkle pretty horribly throughout the day. Tried to capture some of the wrinkles in the pic!

Obsessed with this!
Really loved this rental - I love an off the shoulder or cold shoulder look, and this did not disappoint. Really easy to wear - standard bra was totally fine, and material was thick enough that I opted not to wear shapewear (a serious first). I wore this on a date and went with bare legs and strappy sandals, though I think you could totally get away with pairing this with tights and booties. Dress hit mid thigh - I'm tall but more torso than leg - the length was completely comfortable and appropriate. I was tempted to reuse it for work I loved it so much. A definite must rent! From a sizing perspective, I range from an 8-12 (12 in most higher end designers) but the 10 fit just right, with a bit of room to spare.

Comfortable but not my favorite
This is a perfectly cute top - but really wasn't my favorite. I initially rented it as part of my unlimited subscription thinking it might work for a night out. I didn't get it in time for the weekend, so I wore it to work before sending it back. The blue is not very vibrant - not a bad thing, as I'm a fan of a monochromatic look, but I thought the top would pop more. It's definitely comfortable and was flattering with a suit jacket on (not the best pics) - but has that empire waist/pregnant belly look that I'm not a huge fan of, without a jacket. I have a long torso and this hit below my hips, which made it a good fit with skinny black pants. If you're bigger chested, might be a bit sexier - on my 36Bs, it wasn't very revealing. Also, I'm usually a size 12 and the 10 in this (as I've also found with other Nannette Lapore rentals) was comfortable if not a bit big. I would recommend sizing down.

Really cute but wrinkles easily!
I rented this for a work meeting in FL (please excuse the really bad bathroom selfie). The dress fit a bit big but not obnoxiously so. Very comfortable and was able to wear a blazer with it and still have it look cute. I paired it with a black blazer and pumps during the day and switched to nude pumps, no blazer and a great clutch for dinner. The sleeves really add fun flare to the dress and for someone with bigger arms the cut was actually flattering. The material is really thick and well lined, so the dress was comfortable and flattering without being hard to wear (standard undergarments and no lumps showing!). Only downfall was that it arrived extremely wrinkled. Those wrinkles seemed to fall out prior to wear, but once I put it on and spent more than an hour in it, the dress became increasingly wrinkled. I tried steaming the wrinkles out between my meeting and dinner but eventually had to just deal with them. Would definitely rent again - would be great for a wedding.

Love the leather detail
Really cute, flattering dress - great option for work though I had trouble finding something to cover my arms that matched well. The leather is so soft and perfect, and the tweed is classy and of great quality. Wore it to work and out to dinner with a customer.

The perfect work dress
Cannot say enough about this dress - the fit is really flattering - not too tight, work appropriate length, short sleeves on the longer side so don't need a blazer or cardigan to cover arms. The detail is really beautiful, rented this as an unlimited and almost bought it! Wore it to work, on a date, and out to dinner with my girlfriends - got a ton of compliments all around! Would highly recommend.

Ridiculously short
I'm a tall girl, so am used to things being a bit short - but this was beyond! It's a cute silhouette - but the extreme flare of the skirt coupled with the length made the hem come up so high my whole behind was exposed! Rented as a potential for my best friends rehearsal dinner - if it had fit, would have been cute - the fabric and pattern is beautiful!

All time favorite!
This is my all time favorite vest - it's so versatile, and I really didn't want to send it back. It paired really well with both black pants and jeans - and a number of different blouses. I wore it to work, out to dinner, to brunch, etc - and everyone had trouble stopping themselves from petting it, it was so soft! I'm 5'10 and it was a really great, flattering length. It was a little snug if I had tried to close it, but luckily it looked great open the whole time.

Really disappointed!
I'm a huge vest fan these days - and was so excited to receive this one! I didn't notice in the pictures, but the front pockets are actually little flaps - and look incredibly awkward and bulky in person. This also runs really big - I'm generally a size 12 in RTR and was swimming in the 12. Returned without wearing, totally bummed!

Perfect for the polo!
I cannot say enough about this dress - I have Unlimited so kept it for a few weeks - I just returned it and am already missing it! Super easy to wear - I didn't even bother with a bra, but the fabric is thick enough that you couldn't tell. The eyelet detail in the back is adorable, and adds a bit of allure. It fits really well - super flattering (and forgiving). What I also loved was that I could wear it dressed up (wedges and a great clutch for polo) or dressed down (flat sandals for lunch by the beach) - it was well received both ways. Will definitely be renting this throughout the summer.

Beautiful, vibrant pattern
Dress was beautiful - a true shift, easy to wear. The only complaint is that the lining kept creeping up in the chest area - I was constantly fussing with it, and pulling it down. Also - it was tighter in the hips and looser in the bust area (this could just be a quirk based on my body) - but when worn with a navy blazer, you couldn't notice and I received a ton of compliments.

I need it!
Cannot begin to describe how perfect this jacket was, nor how many compliments I got! I've tried leather jackets many times and they never fit well- not the case with this one. Like butter, it's so soft. It's also lined with fleece so warm, but actually not too hot - I wore it to a concert and was comfortable. Stylistically, it's a great mix - rugged but not over the top and cute with both jeans and dresses.
