Really versatile dress
Didn't have anything special in mind for this dress when I rented it, but it was the standout. Pattern is cute, length is pretty, the wrap draped well, and the fabric weight made it versatile! I could see this working for everything from the office with a cardigan to a casual summer wedding. Saw that the fabric had no stretch, so I sized up for shoulder comfort/chest coverage and I'm glad I did. All in all, great rental. Ended up buying!

Short Sleeve Wrap Midi Dress

Cute, but shorter than I wanted it to be...
Pattern and colors on this were pretty, and the slightly ruffled hem was a fun touch. My biggest issue was the length! I'm 5'7" and maybe that was the issue, and I think it was worsened by the flounce hem, but I definitely couldn't have worn this to the office. Was fine for a lunch date, but spent more time than I wanted to tugging on it. For my fellow king legged ladies: consider sizing up (and tying tighter), or maybe skip this one!

Not for hourglass shapes...
This was my backup dress for an office holiday party. I had high hopes, but it just didn't work. I found the hips and shoulders to be cut narrow and the fabric had no stretch. I don't know that sizing up would have fixed the issue without looking frumpy around the middle. The fluttery trim details were pretty... just maybe for someone else.

As gorgeous as the other reviews say!
Absolutely loved this rental. The fabric is a gorgeous green in person and the cut is unique and flattering. Wore for an office holiday party and got lots of compliments. I did have to strategically pin the top to keep it from gaping (and the inside of the top had some residue from fashion tape, so I clearly wasn't alone), but it was totally worth it for an event. I'm tempted to buy, but it's just a little too fussy for everyday wear. For an occasion, though: don't hesitate! Rent!

Floral Yasmeen Dress

A good basic, but not a standout
I liked this dress, but didn't love it. The fabric is luxe (and good for winter), and although the fit was loose I didn't find it necessary to size down because the waist could be adjusted by tying the front tie tighter. I didn't love that the waist smocking was visible above the front tie no matter how tight you tied it. Overall, fine-- just not a stunner (though I liked it more with a fun heel).

Cute coat!
This was a fun rental. The color and pattern made this a little more than basic, but still easy to pair with other items. I thought the leather detail on the pockets and under the collar was a cool touch, as was the textured fabric. Sized up so that I could layer thicker sweaters under it, which is the right call if you live in a cooler climate... alone, it wasn't very warm. All in all, liked it a lot (didn't love), and would probably rent again.

Lola Coat

Flattering cut in a great color!
Rented this for work and ended up liking it enough for a date night. Comfortable fabric with some stretch-- and it's fairly thick, so works well for fall/winter. Have broader shoulders and found the slight puff sleeve to be very flattering. Overall, there was just enough structure to make this dress a standout! Will rent again.
