Vintage Style
Wore this to work as well as a Friendsgiving with a blazer and booties. Felt vintage flair wearing it - maybe because of the looseness and long hem, which I normally do not do. I was very comfortable in it and it felt nice. The fabric is good quality, soft and smooth. Loved the color and pattern most of all. Size down for sure!

Probably wore this 3 times, in different ways, to elevate my otherwise boring outfit! It really works and makes everything look more chic! Great overlay for fall weather! Size down.

Casual Go-to Top
One of those tops to wear on the weekend running errands, meeting for coffee, and could even take you to evening for a casual outing - and still look cute. Super comfy like a thin sweatshirt, but with the zebra print, stylish. I decided that for my petite frame and short torso these cropped boxy styles don't flatter me, so I tucked the front in a little and it looked better. Also normally a size 6 but based on the reviews I decided to size way down to a 2 and it was the right choice.

A Solid Rental
Warm stylish work pants paired with a black turtleneck and boots. Kept me warm and felt comfortable all day. I've rented this twice so apparently a solid re-rental. Interestingly enough both times I wasn't moved enough to take a photo which tells me it isn't an amazing showstopper but one of those trusted classic pieces that I can count on for the office.

Vivid Royal Blue
I don't remember why I got this in 42. I'm usually a size 6, maybe that's why I didn't love this dress. It was just a tad too big esp the sleeve length. I tried to cuff them under but the fabric has no stretch and is slippery like crepe, so it didn't hold. I ended up cuffing over and had to mess with it all night to stay up. The color is vibrant and the shoulders add interest. Initially I wasn't sure about it. I think a smaller size would have made a difference so I may give it another try.

Retro Vibes
An easy, comfy sweater to throw on over black jeans. Style gives off a retro look so I went all the way with it pairing with gold hoops and adidas sneakers. Got compliments on how cute the outfit was for a sports bar outing. While I did like the sweater, I'm realizing that the cropped body look isn't the most flattering for me though, so I don't think I'll rent again. I think this would look great on someone taller with a longer torso.

New Year's Work Party
Wanted to be comfy, keep my legs warm, and festive for a holiday work event. This was the great! I'm between a 4-8 depending on the cut because I'm petite and have a short torso. Sometimes it's hard to zip in the middle though things fit everywhere else. 6 was perfect. Stretchy so no issues zipping. Pant length was great even for me. Wore a padded strapless bra and added a leather wrap belt to cinch waist, my problem area. Compliments all night! A re-rental for sure!

Cold Weather LBD
This LBD is awesome for the cold season because the material is thick, sleeves are long, and neckline high. The length and form fitting silhouette still make it sexy while the simplicity of the design - the lace detail on the bodice - keeps it chic. Such a well balanced LBD! Very comfortable, too. I wore to a black and white party with stiletto booties. I sized way up to a Large based on reviews (normally wear Small.). This dress can be worn to so many occasions I decided to buy it!

Adds Pounds
I was drawn to the style of this sweater but unfortunately it didn't work for my petite frame as I felt the material was too bulky that it made me look bigger everywhere - in the arms and chest. It was just not flattering on me.

Summer Office Party
Dress was great for a summer work party. I liked how the belt cinched my waist and gave me some shape. I didn't love the style of the dress enough to give it more than 3 stars though I was satisfied with it for the occasion.

Cute Summer Skirt
Wore with a tee and called it a day! Such a cute and easy piece to throw on. I could have worn a Medium as the reviews said it ran small. My waist is short and thick so I decided to try the Large since the medium was not available. I made it work.

Stunning Sheath
Love this sheath! Wore it twice - once to a business meeting with a black jacket, and then to an evening event sans jacket! So comfortable and color is amazing. The all over rouching may be annoying to some because it looks wrinkled, but I like that it hides bumps around the belly and didn't mind it one bit.

The pattern and fabric are perfect for fall! But the best part for me is the fit! Holds its shape, drapes well, and elastic waist is forgiving if you are in between sizes! Will rent again for sure!

Summer Swag
I could wear this all summer long! I wore it to a summer roof party, going for a boho look. Then I took it to the beach and wore as a coverup to my swimsuit. Then I wore again to a beach wine festival. It's an amazing piece!

Cuban Style
Rented for a vacay to Cuba and it definitely fit the part. Design and pattern was just what I was going for. But I fussed with it a lot because it is very low cut and the neckline gaped constantly. I am a 34B so not busty at all. I think fashion tape might have helped. It looked great in the photos, but I wouldn't rent it again because it was too much trouble.

Unique Wrap Skirt
This skirt felt like plaid blanket wrapped around my waist, and I liked it. Very comfortable and unique style. Love the plaid pattern and the length of the skirt, which to me called for knee high boots. I wore with my ever essential mock black turtleneck and felt pulled together all day.

So Stylish
I loved everything about these pants. It was comfortable - elastic waists are awesome for when in between sizes; rich, lovely color; the wide legs are chic; and the fabric is luxe. As a petite, I often have to think twice when renting pants for the length, but when I saw these I knew there would be no problem. I wore with a mock turtleneck and heeled boots, added a gold bangle and pulled my hair in a chignon - felt sophisticated all day and it was such an easy outfit to pull together.

Work Event Worthy
Wore this to a work event and pulled it off well. The tailored cut and pattern was conservative enough but the ruffles gave it some flair. Received compliments. It was comfortable to wear and aside from having to be conscious of the sleeve ruffles, I had no issues. I'm not sure the dress wowed me enough to give it more than 3 stars though. It was a good rental that worked for the occasion, but I didn't love it enough to rent again.

Didn't Fit
It needed alterations to fit me. The shoulders were too big which created gaping in the chest and the length was too long.

Didn't Fit
Wanted this to work, but the waist was too tight, the leg was too big and the hem was too long. There was no way another size would work without alterations. Great color though.

Fun with Faux Fur
I just wanted to try something different and this was definitely fun! It added interest to my all black outfit for girls night out. I agree that the vest could be versatile with many outfits but it would have been too flashy for me to wear to any place other than a party or night out. Not my normal style. It was fun for a change!

Slimming and Stretchy
Loved this skirt for work! It made me look tall and skinny! The material is slightly thick and has a nice stretch that with smooth you out. Pattern is classic plaid, perfect for the office. Yes the slit may be a bit high - and I'm even petite - but it wasn't an issue for me. Just throw on some opaque tights and boots to class it up! I felt well dressed and confident in this.

Tailored Look
I liked the classic pattern and tailored cut of this dress, great style for the office. At first I was skeptical of the very puffy cap sleeves. I'm petite with a smaller frame and the sleeves were a bit overwhelming for my taste! I almost didn't wear this, but I found that my longer hair draped over my shoulders helped de-emphasize the sleeves. I did get a number of compliments at work and I felt great in it! Keep in mind the fabric is not as heavy as one might expect. It's thin so you may find that wearing a shaper underneath to hide lumps and bumps. I wore with over the knee sock boots and black tights.

NYE Sparkles
Wore this to a NYE party and received compliments on the style despite fit issues that probably no one noticed but me. I usually wear a small but I sized up to medium to add a bit more comfort to the waist and torso (it was easier to zip) and to add length to the hemline. Note I am petite at 5'2". The biggest issue was the gaping that occurred in the very deep V neckline. I'm small chested and these necklines usually work very well for me; but because of the thick sequined fabric and the extra room in the shoulders, I was fussing with the top all evening to keep my bra from peeping out and keeping the fabric laying tight and flat. I played with various types of bras and decided a deep push up plunge bra looked best. I also tried fashion tape but it wasn't enough to keep things down. Finally opted for a short peplum black blazer on top which worked well to hide the neck malfunction, but I did take it off from time to time to showcase the dress. Finally, yeah, the sequins rubbed my skin raw under the arms. Great for pics for the occasion, but won't rent again as it was not worth the hassle for me.

Holiday Party Red
I can't think of a more appropriate thing to have worn to my company's holiday party! This piece was not only festive and work-appropriate; it was super comfortable, too! Loved the stunning bright red and intricate lace overlay. I added a boyfriend blazer and ankle wrap sandals to balance professional with fun. Not gonna lie - I felt like the hostess with the mostest receiving compliments all night long! And who doesn't love a romper with pockets? I am normally between a 4-6, but I struggled to zip the 6 passed my waist so I sized up to an 8! The romper is short so it probably worked out best for this occasion. Loved this!

Easy Work Style
Got dressed for work in an instant with this easy style! Dress is made of thick, stretchy, cotton that pulls over your head so make sure you do your hair after and protect your makeup too. Kept me warm all day - I wore on a cold wintry day with black tights. Color is wine, perfect for cold seasons. I think the style is probably too heavy for warmer seasons. I appreciated the blouson fit at the waist because it does hide the midsection, but unfortunately that also does nothing for short-waisted gals like me. Can't win 'em all though! I recommend a necklace or scarf to accentuate the plain neckline.

Festive Office Party
I needed something to wear to an office holiday party. The theme was ugly sweater. I don't own one, nor did I want to buy one TBH! So I improvised with this statement skirt and some metallic blue shoes. It totally worked, and I got compliments! The skirt made of like a thick scuba fabric, form fitting but thick and sturdy. Very comfy. Length is completely appropriate for work. I recommend high heeled pumps for this hemline. I know that this is part of an ensemble that includes a cropped top, but since it was for the office I opted for a black mock neck turtleneck. Felt great all day wearing this!

Hello Fall
Great colors and cozy material for fall. Paired with tights and knee high chocolate boots. It's made of thick sweater material, ribbed, making it form fitting without being overly tight. Very comfy and soft. Length was a bit short so I'm glad I sized up. Otherwise it would have probably been way to short and tight for work. Still, I think the length would have been better if it were longer on me and I'm petite! I did find myself pulling the dress down from time to time as I thought it rode up a bit. If you're thick waisted like me, you may want to consider that the horizontal stripes may not be the most figure flattering. Overall cute dress. I wore twice and got compliments.

Loved the look of this pant. Perfect choice for fall - the plaid print is nice and the cut is trendy. Fits true to size. Wore it twice! The second time I wore it with a LS turtleneck and thick leather waist belt. I got compliments!

Festive for Masquerade
The black lace and ruffles were perfect for a masquerade event. Loved the shape of this dress - I'm 5'2" and it made me feel tall and glamorous. I thought the length might be a problem - as it usually is in a regular size (petite was not available), but I wore 3" heels and didn't have a problem tripping over the hem. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because while the 6 was a perfect fit in the waist, the chest and shoulders were way too loose. I'm a 34B and the deep V neck was too baggy. I managed to temporarily take it up in the shoulders from the inside with some thread. This made all the difference to remove the gaping in the chest. Dress was a hit. I removed the thread of course before returning.

White Party
Wore this to an all white rooftop summer event and it was just perfect! Great length, classy, sexy, and elegant. The ruffle in the chest is a great detail that accentuates smaller busts. The fabric is weightier than I expected and feels luxurious. I'm a 34B and never had to worry about pulling up the strapless dress. Everything stayed in place!

Day to night
The dress took me from work to dinner, I loved it! I'm petite and need shape to the dress so I wore it with a thin animal print belt and it was better for me this way. The print is gorgeous, liked the sleeves although the ties were a bit tricky when you are washing hands. Just watch for that. Fabric is luxe - felt nice against the skin. Will rent again.

Day to night
The print on this dress is lovely and springy. Great for warm weather. Super comfortable and the straps can go up or off the shoulders. I wore to work with a denim jacket on top. Can easily wear to dinner with the shoulders down and without a jacket. I love versatile dresses like this. Note that the size does run large. I'm between a 4-6 and I wore a 4 and there was still room in the midsection. I probably could have gone down to a 2 and been fine.

Feels Like Fall
Great dress! Wore to work on the first day that felt like fall this season - the pinstripes are a nice tailored touch but the ruffles make it trendy. Liked the belt for cinching the waist and giving the dress a bit of shape. Material is a little heavier so probably too hot for summer. I wore with booties. This dress took me from day to evening! Had a work party after 5pm followed by a date in the city. Only thing that might be tricky is pulling the dress over your head to put it on and taking off. It wasn't an issue for me but make sure to protect your makeup and hair as you're dressing.

So Pretty
I wore this to a traditional Indian wedding with a head wrap. Unfortunately did not get a full length photo but you can see that the colors on this dress pop - it is a beautiful print. There were dress rules I had to consider for this wedding as far as how much skin I could expose. This dress hit all the marks and was so comfortable. The only thing for me was the length because the petite was not available. But everywhere else, my body was happy and I didn't have to fuss with anything.

Beautiful Print
Wore this dress to work with a denim jacket on top. After work, sans jacket. Dress is light and comfy. The only issue I had was under the armpits it was a little loose on me so I had to adjust every once in awhile. I'm small on top though so maybe others won't have this issue. The colors are gorgeous and this would be a perfect dress for a tropical vacation.

Simply stylish
I love this so much - I wore 3x before returning! Wore to a rooftop bar hopping event, then to work with a black jacket, then to the theater for Hamilton. So many compliments. It is true to size but I did fins the waist a bit loose and I'm petite so I wore a thin belt and hid it under the waist fabric to bring the hem up a bit. Worked like a charm. Note I assume this piece is so popular that mine arrived worn. It wasn't tattered but definitively needed some repairs. The hook needed repair and the metal chain around the neck was coming off in a number of places. I repaired at home.
