Cute but not comfy
I rented a few items knowing that I would be stuck in my condo for a while. I was looking for flowy, easy, comfy and cute. This marks off every box except comfy. The price was right, so I kept it anyway. It makes a cute brunch dress. The fit is just weird in the top. It fits, but it makes it hard to move my arms. That probably doesn't make sense, but it will if you rent it. I'm thinking sizing up might help. My hopes are it will be a little less constrictive in the top after I lose a little weight.

I wanted to keep it
I had a really hard time returning this and really considered buying it. If it were not for how crazy everything is right now, I would have. Very cute design with the cutouts and jelly material. My personal belongings stayed put in it as well. I miss you, cute black jelly bag.

Another quarantine dress
While I miss dressing up. This is another perfect stay at home frock. It is comfortable, flattering and versatile. Right now my goal is to be comfy without feeling frumpy while stuck at home. This dress definitely does the trick. It is also very forgiving. I can see wearing this as a little beach dress when this is all over and done with. It is also the perfect dress if you want to feel cute but you are having a chubby day. Your legs and girls will look great and your tummy is concealed. Love it!

Quarantine Dress!!!
I bought this because it is the perfect dress to be stuck at home in. It is comfortable and I do not feel like a slob in it. You can dress it up or down. It is the perfect foundation to build upon with accessories. Love it!

So versatile!
I rented this to visit my friends in North Florida. It was in the 50's which is cold to me. I know. However, this jacket rental made the cold not so bad for me. I loved the color and texture of the leather. It was super cute, comfortable and looked great with anything I wore.

Better in person
It looks so much better in person. The fit is so flattering and it's not too form fitting. It hugs you in all the right places. The fabric is beautiful too. This is a dress that my husband offered to buy for me. I'm in the middle of losing weight or I would have definitely kept it.

Gorgeous, but heed the reviews if you are busty.
The fabric is absolutely stunning. I was even considering tucking the top in so I could wear it as a skirt. The colors and tie dye are so eye catching and unique. As a busty/curvy lady, I thought I could pull this off with something under the top. I thought it was jersey material so that it would have some give to it. I could not zip the top portion at all. The waist portion was fine. This is a 12 for a tall, slender and smaller busted woman. Not a curvy 12. This is something that I run into quite often and that's why I wanted to make sure to leave this review.

I felt like I was back in the 90's!
I actually wore this as a back up option for my friend's casual, outdoor wedding. This was a very different take on the country plaid that everyone else was sporting. It was really cute and comfortable. The midsection was definitely different and I am still not sure how I feel about it. That's why I rated it 4 instead of 5. I loved the leather trim. It was edgy, fun and maybe I would pair it with a black belt next time.

My husband LOVED this
We saw this designer mentioned on Project Runway. While, I am no Karlie Kloss, this dress made me feel like a million dollars. It is really different with the asymmetry. The jersey material was very high quality and thick. It hung on my body in a way that highlighted the best parts of me. I paired it with white sneakers. It was sexy in a very casual, cute way. My husband wanted to buy it for me, he loved it so much. I'm in the middle of losing weight, otherwise I would have taken him up on it.

I felt beautiful
I rented this for Valentine's Day and LOVED it. The back is beautiful and I felt comfortable enough not to wear a bra because of the ruffles. One of these days, I am going to have a photo with the actual dress in it. I'm not a big selfie person, but take my word for it. This is a simple, flattering, flirty and fun dress!

Adorable Gypsy Chic
This dress is really cute and comfortable. It would fit a little better if my backside was smaller. I'll definitely rent again when I lose weight. The top gave me ample room, which I usually have a problem with. This dress is adorable, Rent it!

I wanted to buy it
This dress made me feel so beautiful. If I was not in the process of losing weight, I would have bought it. I'm busty and it was a little bit large in the top, which is rare. It was feminine with little butterflies all over. Absolutely gorgeous.

Cute for a cover up/beach dress
My first problem is that I ordered too large of a dress. It looked like a mumu and swimsuit cover up hybrid. Maybe if I ordered my correct size, I would feel differently.

Really cute, but size up!
I rented this because it looked like there was extra room in the top area. The body portion fit perfectly, but the girls didn't have a chance. I will definitely rent this again and order a larger size. I'm curious to see if the body portion will still look as good if the dress is large enough to fit my bust.

Looks better in person
Extremely flattering and comfortable. The picture does not do it justice. One of these days I am going to post an actual photo wearing these dresses because I know it helps so much. If you are curvy, this is a fantastic option because it hugs you in all the right places and offers forgiveness in the other areas.

I loved it so much that I bought it.
This is the perfect little dress for when you want to look put together but want to be comfortable. My husband loved it on me and thought it was sexy. Shows plenty of leg. I love it because it is not form fitting, easy and cute.

Very cute casual set.
I rented the tops and bottom to the set. It was just a little too much pattern for my taste. Again, I am large busted so unfortunately I have to be really careful. This was a really cute look but the pattern from top to bottom with my girls made me look bigger. I ended up keeping the bottoms to wear with a different top and it made for a really cute, comfortable look.

Will rent again after I lose weight.
This dress is adorable. It fit. I'm large busted and could not get away with wearing without support. It was just a lot a lace. I will definitely try this one again once I lose a little more weight.
