Sequins & Eyelet
The color is lovely! The eyelet lace is elegant. I was not expecting the sequins on this dress, they’re fun but they definitely make it a dressier look vs. something more casual. The reviews are accurate, this dress is snug in the bust. The zipper in the back was helpful for closure. The buttons in the front are non-functional but they may gap. I wore this to Mass and date night, but it would be perfect for a bridal shower or spring wedding!

Beautiful Gown
I loved this gown! Allow time for extra steaming. The fit was perfect, but be aware it’s slightly snug in the arms. The bow detail on the neck was my favorite!

Color of the Moment!
This blazer paired beautifully with a RTR Ralph Lauren dress (pictured). As someone with a long torso and long arms, the sleeves were quite short (more like 3/4 look vs. long sleeve) but it was perfect for a going-into-the-office look during warmer summer temperatures! Not too hot. Loved the luxe fabric and button details!

Work or Play Dress
This dress was so comfortable! It could be dressed up for work with a blazer or dressed down with sneakers. I could have sized down for a snugger fit but I preferred the looser waist. My only complaint is, as someone with a long torso, the waist of the dress hit slightly above my natural waist. LOVED the butter yellow color and the fabric of the skirt was breezy and wore well throughout the day.

It’s fine
To be fair, the fit was fine. The smocking makes the dress forgiving and flexible. The waist hit my tall frame a little high and made it feel awkward. The back criss cross didn’t quite lay right for me. This dress wasn’t my favorite. But I could see it being really cute on someone with a shorter frame that likes an open back moment.

Hugs all the right places!
Soft cotton fabric. Comfortable for work or church. Subtle puff sleeve. The cutout in the middle is not obvious. A fun pattern that hugs in all the right places and could be dressed up with heels or dressed down with white sneaks!

Fun Print
A fun spring dress. I like the puff sleeves and ruffles. I’ve seen some reviews that say “it’s a lot of dress.” I didn’t think it was too much fabric, it’s very trendy with the large puff sleeves (which I liked). If you’re busty, be warned the dress torso is snug. I chose to wear a sports bra in order to prevent button gapping. This is a great church or work dress. The cotton fabric leans casual.

Cute Crop Trench
This trench was perfect for work and everyday errands! It’s an ideal piece to throw on when you need an extra layer during Spring’s hot/cold weather. It was a little tight in the shoulders for me when buttoned, but this wasn’t a dealbreaker. I preferred to wear it open and it felt just right. The sleeves were slightly short on me and fell above my wrist (but I have a tall frame). I will rent again!

Perfect Navy Dress
I have nothing bad to say about this dress! It was comfy, flowy, and hugged my torso just right. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars instead of 5 was because the low back made my bra band visible. I could have probably avoided it with a strapless bra instead. I’ll definitely be renting this again!

Versatile Spring Dress
This dress is lovely! It can be dressed up for a formal event or dressed down for something informal. The cotton sateen fabric is soft, breathable, and structured in the best way! I sized up because I prefer a roomier fit.

Classic Jackie O Blazer
This jacket is darling! The 10 was too small on my 5’9” frame. The arms were a little short and the jacket was far from buttoning. I need the 12 or 14 to allow it to button. But the overall style of the jacket is fabulous. The blue lining is more of a chambray than a linen. The overall cut of the jacket is much shorter than a J. Crew lady jacket, but it seems like it would be perfect with high waisted pants.

Beautiful spring or summer gown
This dress is beautiful! It moves gracefully and the print is effervescent! The 12L was the perfect length for 2.5 inch heels as someone who is 5’9”. The dress fell about 2 inches from the floor, so my heels were visible when walking. The 12L bust was snug. I couldn’t zip the gown with a padded strapless bra, but stickies will be perfect. The dress fit most comfortably with shape wear. For extra room, I may size up to the 14L next time.
