SIZE UP!
This sweater was incredibly small and odd fitting. If you choose to rent it, size up! The bottom is very tight without much stretch, so size up/for your hips if renting this sweater. The medium was way too small around my hips - I typically wear a size 8 bottoms for reference. I also found it impossible to get the same look as the model.

Size down!
I understand that the fit is supposed to be oversized, but it was too big for me to really wear. It seems like it would be a warm comfy sweater, but size down!

This dress did absolutely nothing for me.
I usually wear a 6/8 so I rented this in a medium. It just hung on me in the front and had so much extra unnecessary fabric in the stomach area. The back was better, but the slit at the top where the tie is came down low enough to show my bra strap. If you're going to rent this, size down.

Nice jacket but not warm
This jacket fit well. I rented it because I wanted a long jacket to cover both sides of an asymmetric dress. It was perfect in length and for very well (I did size down from what I would normally wear) but it definitely wasn't a warm coat.

Too big to be flattering
The print is gorgeous and the dress is comfortable, but the medium was way too big on me-- and I usually wear a medium and sometimes a large for comfort. It was big all around. Consider sizing down a size (or maybe two?) depending on how you want it to fit. I'll consider renting again, but in the appropriate size.

I loved it so much I bought it.
A very casual shirt, I wore this everywhere. From running errands to working from home, I paired this sweater with jeans and yoga pants every day. Unlike the picture, the sweater is long in the front-- I wore it both tucked in and out based on what pants as I was wearing.

LOVE!
I love this dress. I find it to be very flattering on my body type. I normally wear anywhere between a 6 and a 10 so I was concerned that the 40 might be too small. It was snug, but certainly not in a bad way. I was surprised by how thin the top is, but it wasn't see-through and very comfortable- it helped me keep cool. The skirt is a little short and I wouldn't have been able to wear it without having dark tights underneath.

Meh.
Renting this was a little out of character for my normal tastes, but I decided to give it a go. This sweater was just fine- the asymmetric hem was kind of cool, but I felt it was too short on the short side. I did size up because I know I generally like sweaters longer, but it didn't seem to help. It wasn't particularly comfortable either (which isn't to say it was uncomfortable!) and I felt the need to keep trying to readjust it.

Love the sparkle, too much sleeeves
I found this sweatshirt a little too large to wear. I wore it for a couple of hours, but the sleeves were super flowy and kept getting in my way. The colors were gorgeous and it was comfortable, just not practical for what I was doing.

Gorgeous Color!
I loved the color and the silky feel of the dress. I felt the straps were an appropriate length. I rented a long length because it was all that was available at the time and I'll say it was long. I'm about 5'5 and wore three inch heels and it was dragging.

Absolutely Perfect
This dress is absolutely perfect. It fit like a dream-- super comfortable and looked great on. It fit exactly true to size on the bust with adjustable straps, and nice and flowy throughout the waist and hips. It's easy to dress up or down and I wore this everywhere, to drop the kids off at school, to a production of Hamilton, on a boat, on a plane, and to a picnic. After having it for a month or two , I sent her back with a lot of adventures!

Not for long torsos!
So, I've never worn a romper before and maybe I'm learning there's a reason! I'd recommend sizing up-- my normal size was a little snug on the hips. I also have a pretty long torso, and I think that caused fit issues-- I'm not sure if the shorts were riding up because of my torso or because they were tight, but either way, it was not flattering on me! I recommend sizing up if you have curvy hips!

Vibrant color, fits like a glove
This dress fit perfectly and I felt stunning in it. It hugged my curves in the right places and was pretty comfortable to wear all night. I wore this to an evening work dinner and an evening networking reception. Since they were both fancier work events, this dressed worked perfectly. It was slightly low cut on me, but still work appropriate given I was attending evening events. I loved the sleeves and they worked out well-- I'm often concerned by sleeves like this that they might get in the way or be awkward/annoying, but they were pretty easy to control!

Meh.
I feel like there was nothing great about this dress, except that it was made from material similar to a sweatshirt! The 10, which is a size or two larger than what I usually wear, felt pretty snug and didn't fit like the picture. It definitely was form fitting. It is also VERY short. I was planning on wearing this casually, to commute home to DC from NYC, to pick up the kids from daycare, to run errands... but it was much too short to do any of that! I ended up wearing this just once, walking to the subway and heading to the train station. But the bottom ruffle kept blowing from the wind or drafts, and I gave everyone a show. Maybe it would be better for straighter body types as opposed to hourglass?

Attractive, comfortable dress with pockets
I rented this dress from the store, so ended up with a size larger than I normally would wear, but it still fit well, though a little big. It was incredibly comfortable and had pockets perfect for my phone and business cards. The color is gorgeous and I definitely stood out in a sea of black and navy blue! I will definitely rent this dress again.

Super cute but super big
I really liked this dress- the vibrant yellow, the good construction, and how it seemed the dress would fit if the sizing was better. I wanted to wear this for day use- a trip to a brewery, a trip to a historic site- but after wearing it for a bit, it was just too big to wear, no matter the amount of fashion tape. I hope to rent again, in a smaller size.

Odd fit in arms
I chose not to wear this dress to an evening dinner and reception. It had an odd fit in the sleeves and straps- I couldn't get it to fit right and thought I'd be concerned all night with the sleeves slipping.
