Short!
Ordered a size up based on other reviews regarding length of this dress. I wouldn't recommend that - it ruing the line of the dress to wear it too big. It's a great color and cut. Just only rent if you're prepared for a shorter skirt.

Felt like pajamas... looked a little like pajamas too
This jumpsuit is very comfortable and travelled well. Like some other reviewers have noted, it has a bit of a pajama vibe. The fabric isn't stretchy and the buttons don't go down quiet far enough, so unless you're double jointed, I suggest sticking to your true size or going one up for getting in and out of this jumpsuit. Once buttoned, if is a bit baggy. But comfy and flowy for warm summer nights.

Easy slip dress for summer
An easy dress to throw on for weekend errands. It's incredibly light weight and perfect for any super warm day.

Liked it so much, I bought it
This is a fantastic dress! The fit is flattering and easy to adjust with long adjustable straps and forgiving fabric with some stretch. Plus it has pockets!! I got a million compliments on this dress and had to pick it up to keep.

Not for summer!
This skirt is pretty and versatile - would work well casually or for a more formal office. It's just not made for hot summer days! The fabric is super thick and not breathable. Recommend waiting for it to cool off before you rent this one.

Not for a broad shouldered broad!
This is a beautiful top and fits true to size through the body. But it's cut pretty narrowly through the shoulders - like child sized narrowly. Definitely size up or skip this top if you have broader shoulders!

Odd neck
This sweater is a great color and perfect fall weight, but the neck is strange. It's just a bit too long to be a mock neck, but a bit too short to fold in half like a turtleneck. I'm not sure this is related to the design or if the one I order was stretched out from multiple rentals.

Wear it backwards!
This sweater is very lowcut, but it actually works great worn backwards with a strappy bra. The fabric is the thick enough that the tag being in the front is completely not noticeable.

Fun casual piece
This sweater fits true to size. I've rented and worn it in both the M (my size) and the L. The medium gave me a more fitted, neat appearance that I found work appropriate with pencil skirts, etc. I like the large for an oversize weekend look with jeans.

Like wearing a duvet (in a good way!)
This is the comfiest, coziest coat I've ever put on, and the color is to die for. Definitely oversized, especially for Lululemon. I rented my true size for outerwear and could have sized down.

Cute, easy dress
This is a fun casual dress to throw on with tights and ankle boots for work. I found it fit mostly true to size with a slight oversized fit. The particular dress I had, had a sticky zipper at the waist. I either needed an extra set of hands to zip it up, or to have the dress halfway zipped before i put it on.

Great basic for winter! Fits true to size. I sized up one for slightly less crop and was very happy. Knit is a bit itchy if you have sensitive skin.

Runs small, fabric wasn't what I expected
This dress looked so cute online, but just didn't work at all for me once I got my hands on it. I'm usually an 8 in dresses, but find this designer to run a bit smaller overall and sized up to a 10. In this particular dress, I probably could have gone up TWO from my regular size. The zipper was too flimsy for the multiple layers of fabric, especially at the waist). I was surprised at the summery weight of the fabric. Definitely not a fall/winter dress - more like a sundress.

Looks amazing... standing up!
I'm usually a size 6/8 but took the 10 in this to make sure the buttons covered my chest adequately. No problem there but any time I sat down, the buttons gaped in the skirt - both near the waist and the upper thigh. Fashion tape and safety pins helped a bit, but there's really just not a wide enough band of fabric behind the buttons to prevent skin from showing. A really unfortunate design flaw in an otherwise fantastic dress!

Fantastic print! I received compliments all day long! The fabric doesn't have any stretch and the shoulders are a bit narrow, so if that's a broader area for you, I recommend sizing up!

Perfect casual Friday denim!
These are the perfect casual Friday denim! No destressing and just the right amount of snugness to look neat, but still professional. I wear a 28 in all Madewell jeans - I find these to fit a bit looser than those, but I'm glad I didn't size down.

Love!
Really fun skirt with a great print. Super flattering! I'm usually a 28/6 and would typically rent a M in skirts. Only a large was available when I rented, and it worked out great! I liked having the little bit of extra length and it still fit well thru the waist.

Fun, forgiving top!
This top is fun and very flattering. It has lots of unique details. Unfortunately the straps loosen up throughout wear, and I was constantly tightening them. Otherwise, a great comfy top.

Beautiful fabric, runs small in bust
This dress is incredibly well-made and a beautiful fabric. It's not lined, but is a fairly thick and sturdy fabric. Honestly seems really great for travel and vacation. Unfortunately for me, it runs a bit small in the bust. I found the medium to fit true to size everywhere except the 3rd button from the top (36c/d). If I'd gone up to the large, the skirt and shoulders likely would have been too big for me.

Great print, runs small
I wanted to love this dress - it's a great print and a great length for everyday wear, but the bust runs at least one or two sizes small. I didn't find it constricting or tight, but the top button and snap kept finding ways to pop open. The dress fit TTS everywhere else. FYI: the fabric was a little heavier than expected - wouldn't recommend for extreme heat!

Great work skirt!
Great skirt for work. Wore this for an all day meeting and then out for dinner. The skirt never wrinkled or lost it's shape. I'm usually a 6 in skirts/pants, but wore the 8 in this due to availability. It was a little roomie, but still wearable. I usually find this designer to run large, but would say this skirt fits more TTS than usual.

Cute jumpsuit, problematic zipper
This jumpsuit is true to size and a great color! The material is a little thick, and, unfortunately, the zipper seemed to struggle with the fabric where it was doubled up at the waist. It zips up fine, but is particularly difficult to unzip - which isn't great for a jumpsuit if you plan to be out and about in it!

Cute top, snap closure in the wrong spot
This top is a fantastic shade of red! I'm usually a medium in tops, but for coverage sized up. This top was very adjustable in terms of waist size since it's a true wrap and likely either would fit. The only problem was with the location of the snap closure on the neckline - on the top I was sent, it seemed to be too close to the inside hem and kept flipping so that the silver snap could be seen and creating a weird gape. Otherwise, a cute top!

Great dress but very short
This dress is so adorable. The color is great, and the fit is incredibly flattering! That said, it was way too short on me. I'm 5'4" - this dress hit about 8 inches about my knee. Because of flouncy, ruffly skirt it felt even shorter. It almost felt like it should have been a romper at this length. I would definitely size up at least 1 size, and maybe 2 sizes to see if that gives you some extra length!

Not bad, but not great
Pros: this dress is comfortable and easy to wear. Because it's a true wrap, I think most people could go up or down 1 size from their usual and be okay. Cons: I didn't love the sleeves (too close to bordering on cap sleeves!). Somehow, even though there's an all over pattern and reddish background, this dress manages to look a little dull on.

runs large but still beautiful
This jacket runs at least one size (maybe two sizes) large. Definitely wish I had sized down. That said, it's a beautiful, high quality jacket that stands out.

softest leather jacket!
Love this leather jacket! I got this through Update and got so much wear out of it in one month! It was perfect for a girls trip to LA, a work trip to SF, and the perfect jacket for concerts in the northeast. The jacket is roomy enough to layer sweaters underneath when it's colder, and light enough to wear with a tank in warmer weather. Can't recommend enough!

Gorgeous dress/got lots of compliments all night.
This is a beautiful dress! I wore the large and am usually a size 8 in dresses. I definitely could not have gone any smaller. The dress has no stretch, so even though I had no trouble zipping it up, the shoulders felt a little snug anytime I moved around. Would definitely recommend considering your bra size when choosing a size in this dress as that seemed to be the most fitted part.

Beautiful dress, but I found it to be a bit fitted for an average work day.
Might be more suitable for a work holiday party vibe than daytime wear.
