Fine but forgettable
This dress was well made and generally flattering but there was nothing special about it. The print was forgettable and the shape was just meh - would be fine for a work dress or a nicer dinner out.

Casual, easy wrap dress
Lovely, simple wrap dress for summer. The print/color was nicer in person. If you have a larger chest you may need to wear a cami underneath as the top didn't leave a lot of room. Otherwise flattering on hourglass shapes and TTS.

Perfect everyday dress
I wore this dress SO many times during my rental period - it's perfect to throw on for hot summer days when you don't want to have to think about an outfit. Super comfortable fabric and very forgiving in the stomach/hips. Nearly bought it!

Feminine and flirty
Lovely summer day dress - easy breezy fit, crisp white print, and fully lined skirt so not see through. May be a bit tight in the top if you have a larger chest, but otherwise TTS. Got lots of compliments!

Perfect casual summer dress
Loved this dress! It was so light and comfortable - perfect for hot summer days. The midi length was fun and different and the bright yellow made me smile every time I put it on. Would definitely consider buying this one!

Weird, unflattering shape
I loved this dress in photos but in person it was just odd. Too much fabric and made me look wider than I am. Did not wear.

Absolutely stunning & classic cocktail dress
What a gorgeous dress! Super flattering for plus ladies, classic lines and a beautiful deep navy. I felt like a million bucks in this dress at a fancy event and was also super comfortable all night! Probably going to buy this one as it can definitely be worn for many types of events.

Beautifully made, easily wrinkled
Rented this for a summer vacation in the south of France and felt like it fit that vibe! You can tell from the fabric that this dress was beautifully made, but it definitely wrinkles easily. Has a liner under the skirt (makes the dress a bit warm) but nothing on top so can be a bit sheer without a cami or something underneath. Might work better for women with smaller busts.

Solid pair of skinny jeans
Nice pair of skinny's from an always reliable brand. Great fit (true to size) with just the right amount of stretch. Only drawback for me was they were a bit lower waisted than I prefer, but that said they stayed put (didn't feel like I was constantly tugging them up throughout the day).

Huge and shapeless
I normally love Trina Turk tops but this one really missed the mark. It was comically large on me and completely shapeless. The ties on the sleeves looked like a mistake and I couldn't figure out how they were supposed to be styled. Would have to wear a cami underneath to be work appropriate as the front v went super low. Did not wear.

Fun dress that's great for work
Really enjoyed this Kate Spade knit dress. The details are what make it stand out: scalloped neckline and the beautiful pops of color in the skirt. Appears simple at first but when you move all the colors come out! Wore to the office a few times and got tons of compliments. Only complaint is the fabric is a bit heavy, so wouldn't recommend in the summer.

Get ready to feel gorgeous!
What a special dress! As a curvy girl it's often hard to find cocktail dresses I feel good in as a wedding guest, but this dress was a huge hit! Hugged me in all the right places and was forgiving around the waist and hips. Neck line felt sexy but modest (and didn't have to worry about cleavage) and the ruffle up the side made me feel like a human version of the dancing girl emoji. The color is so vibrant and looks amazing in photos. Danced all night long and felt amazing!

Comfortable, vibrant spring or fall dress
Loved the bold color on this easy to wear shirt dress. Hid all my problem areas and was comfortable, but ultimately not very exciting. Didn't feel like it was doing anything for my shape either. Ended up only wearing it once to a daytime charity event.

Great everyday jacket for transitioning seasons
I got so much use out of this jacket in the spring! Wore it to work nearly every day. Neutral color and mid-weight material makes it perfect for those in between seasons.

Pretty top for night out
I wore this on a date and felt pretty but still somewhat conservative. It feels expensive and I loved the sheer sleeves, but the cut is a little strange. It's pretty short on the torso and didn't quite hit me in the right spot. May work better on petite ladies.

Nothing special
Should have listened to the other reviews on this one. The cut on this was just sort of blah and didn't make me feel cute. Agree with others who said it almost feels matronly or like something your grandma would wear. It's comfortable, but forgettable.

Not a true crossbody
This was a cute bag but calling it a crossbody is misleading. The strap was VERY short and I ended up having to wear it on my shoulder, which meant it was constantly slipping. Not worth the hassle.

Beautiful, comfortable, and flattering
Absolutely adored this dress! I rented it for a charity gala and got compliments all night. The color is stunning and the fit is very flattering and comfortable. Loved it so much that I think I'm going to end up buying it! Perfect cocktail dress for so many occasions.

Basic blouse with fun details
I wore this blouse a few times, mostly for going out to dinner or drinks. It's a fairly flattering fit, but didn't feel very special. Note that the sleeves are buttoned at the wrists and felt tight but the shirt looked messy if you left them unbuttoned. Sort of annoying!

Perfect statement bag for night out
I rented this bag to have a fun accessory for a girls trip to Vegas. It's small but holds more than a clutch and looks expensive and chic. The gold straps can be made long or short depending on how you want to hold it. Great little piece!

Gorgeous and spacious tote perfect for travel or everyday
Rented this ahead of a work trip where I wanted something prettier than my backpack to carry my laptop in! Beautiful, well-made bag with a ton of space. Worked nicely for travel and is classy/understated enough to bring to business meetings. It has a zipper across the top but no interior pockets which is the only drawback.
