SO small
I am normally a size 26 or 27 in pants. After reading the reviews I decided to size up to a 28. The waist was comically small. I could button it, but could barely breath. Needless to say I did not wear them. I’m concerned if I got an even bigger size then the legs would look weird

Fun!
This is a fun pattern and a very flattering dress cut. Just beware if you have a larger bust area. I am a 34C and a button popped off while I was walking down the street!

Barbie prairie
I got this to be comfortable during quarantine at home and to walk around the city. This dress was not my style at all and so unflattering I wouldn't even wear it at home. I felt like I was some sort of prairie Barbie when I put it on. I'm 5'6" and I felt too short for it. I'm also an athletic build and I don't think this dress worked for my body type. Maybe if I were a few inches taller and had a very bohemian personal style it would work. I don't know, but it is a tough look to pull off.

LOVE
Rented this for the holiday season and I absolutely loved it. Fits like a glove and has some edge to it compared to other plaid holiday skirts. I felt great wearing it and I got many compliments on it!

Weird fit
I rented these pants for NYE, but ultimately ended up not wearing them. Bummer. They were very baggy in the front and may have looked fine with a long shirt, but otherwise looked weird. The 2 was unavailable so I went with the 4, maybe the smaller size would've helped?

Loved!
I loved this dress, I should've bought it. I wore it to a party at a vineyard and it was very appropriate for the occasion and I got several compliments. I'm 5'6" and I felt like I was just tall enough to wear it (it hit a little above the ankle). Anyone below 5'6" I'd say be cautious of the length.

Weird fit
I'm a true 26 and I felt like a sausage when I tried these pants on in a size 26. At first I thought it was me, but it was the pants. The wash of them is cool, but they were so small I just didn't feel like wearing them so I never did. If you rent them, go up a size I'd say.

It was okay
I liked the style of it. Well made and perfect for summer. However it came up on the sides, making it too short to wear to work. In general, I felt like it was a little short on me....I actually felt like I was wearing a shirt but as a dress. I kept going to wear it for something and then changing out of it into something that made me feel more comfortable. I think it would probably look better on someone shorter (I'm 5'6" for reference).

LOVE THIS!
If you're into the oversized look, monochromatic clothes, and playing with silhouettes etc then you will love this. If you want a more fitted or tailored jacket, then this is not for you. I wore this as a coat vs a blazer because it is a little heavier than a blazer. It is perfect for temperatures in the 50s and 60s. I absolutely love this item and it fits my style so well. I like it so much that I rented it for another cycle of update and I'm contemplating buying it if the price goes down.

Easy and effortless!
This sweater was very easy to throw on and go while still looking presentable. I only wore it once due to the weather--I think any temperature over 60 degrees and this would be too warm if you're planning on wearing a jacket (which I always do by habit in the spring!) Based on reviews, I rented an XS which was fine, but I wish I had gone with the S for a more oversized look.

Great bag
I love this bag so much I bought it. It is big and it fits everything. I've been able to fit a laptop, notebook, water bottle, wireless mouse, wallet, sunglasses, and a pair of workout pants all in it at once. It's also easy to carry with a heavy jacket (the straps don't slip) and it doesn't feel heavy on your shoulders like some bags do when you put a laptop in it.

Cute but not me
When I wore this sweater I received a lot of compliments on it because it is a unique piece and fun. It's great for work. It dared me to exit my comfort zone of neutral and monochromatic colors that dominate my wardrobe, but I think it was still a bit too bright for me to feel 100% comfortable in it! I'm usually a size 2-4 and ordered the extra small and felt that was the right size; even in extra small it was not fitted or tight. Bell sleeves add a nice touch and modernize it.

Nice bag!
I rented this for holiday travel in the airport--I needed a roomy bag that could fit all of my stuff. It did fit a lot of stuff and the teddy material makes it good for airplane travel ie you don't need to worry about the leather scratching. Since I had it for the month with update, I also decided to take it to some business meetings after holiday break. I will say that because the bag is unstructured and the way the straps sit, it's not ideal for a laptop and feels very heavy to carry one with it! Good for travel, but not for work.

Great staple piece
I loved this blazer and it's practical place in my closet. Great quality and easy to throw on over anything for a more polished look. If it weren't so pricey I would've bought it! It is oversized and it is meant to fit that way, so if you're looking for a fitted blazer this is not it. If you're down with the Olsen twin vibe, then this is it!

LOVE this jacket
I normally wear a size 2-4 and have broader shoulders so jacket sizes can be a wildcard for me (former swimmer here). Therefore, I was hesitant to get the XS but went for it based on previous reviews. It arrived with the tags on, so I was the first to wear it. Initially, I was worried the XS was too tight and a mistake, but it stretched as I wore it more often and now it fits perfectly. I loved this piece so much I purchased it! I get compliments all the time on it, from co-workers to random people in the Duane Reade. Highly recommend!

A casual faux fur jacket
The design of this was great--it's faux fur, but the quilted button area etc give it a more casual vibe. I got many compliments on it when I wore it. It's pretty warm, but since it's a cropped jacket I could see it being not warm enough in sub 40 degree weather. I wore a small and it was fine, but I think I would've enjoyed a medium more for a more oversized look. Also a medium would've been better if I wanted to wear a sweater under it.

Obsessed with this sweater coat!
If you're looking for a fitted cardigan, then this is not for you. It is supposed to be oversized. Also, the fact that it's a grandpa sweater with sparkles is so unexpected, but also what makes it great. It is pretty heavy and more like a coat than a sweater, so I wore it in lieu of a coat during temperature in the 50s in NYC. You may be able to get away with wearing it in the high 40s, too, if there's no wind.

Meh
I ended up not wearing this shirt due to it's bizarre fit. I ordered a small and it was unfitted and awkward. It wasn't very flattering or super comfortable so I opted not to wear

Great dress for hot days and beach days!
I was unsure how I'd like this dress when I ordered it, but I ended up liking it so much I bought it! It is a very light fabric and very comfortable. I wore it multiple times on vacation and around nyc during a humid day in August. I did not think it was sheer or see through. It is perfect if you're going to the beach or for those days when it is so hot you cannot even imagine putting anything on.

Flowery fun dress!
Fits well and is very flattering. I am between a 2 or 4 depending on the dress cut and went with the 2 here. Initially I wanted to wear the 4 because it felt more comfortable, but the dress I received in that size was faded and smelled a little weird so I went with the 2 instead. Ultimately I'm happy I went with the 2 because it did stretch a bit in the waist area throughout the evening and was quite comfortable.

Unique skirt!
I wore this for a work summit and really enjoyed it. It fits true to size (I wore a small and I'm usually a 2 or 4) and is very comfortable and flattering. I'm 5'6" and it hit around my lower shin. It's a sweater like material so I'd recommend for fall or spring or climates that are cooler--I think it's too heavy for summer! Overall I was very happy with it and would rent again.

Perfect dress for a daytime wedding
I think this fit true to size except the chest area, which runs very small. I ultimately ended up pinning it bc it was gaping and it looked fine. The slip underneath is so unique and is what sets the dress apart

Wore to my friend's wedding
The dress is very classy and I felt it was appropriate for the event. I received several compliments on it, too! I am usually a 2 or 4, depending on the dress, but wore the 4 here. While the 2 fit, it is very form fitting and I felt more comfortable in the 4, so I opted to wear that size. It just depends how you want the dress to fit ! Overall, I'd recommend this dress!

Classy NYE
I wore the 4, but I wish I wore the 2, as it stretches out a bit as you wear it. When you first put the dress on, it's tight around the bust area, but again, it stretches out s bit. Although I loved this dress, it is a little tough if you are busty at all. Despite that, it is a lovely and elegant dress--I received many compliments. I am happy I got it and I would wear it again! I usually wear a 2 or 4 dress, 26 jeans. This dress is pretty true to size.
