Battled Gravity
Cute, comfortable, and received compliments—probably based on bold, different,cute style. Due to waistband type they kept sliding down and needed to be hitched up with no easy way for me to secure them.

Versatile with sneaky, silky inside comfort!
Mixed and match with different pieces easily and got compliments. As is the style it’s on shorter side. Personally, I prefer slightly longer to conceal trouble areas and remain modest but that’s no fault of the shirt or the designer. Just what held me back from buying it.

Holy Coattails, Batman!
Comfy and easy. I got compliments and comments . . . The backs would not stay rolled and looked like “tuxedo tails” or “duck tail” when seen from behind. I was constantly having to fix them because it wasn’t a little noticeable and I was just obsessive … it was like a mullet. Rolled in the front and completely hanging down in the back.

Rented for Pajama Day at School and it was cozy/comfy, but will not conceal tummy or tush if those are your trouble areas.

Burnt Orange
It’s on my for taking the description at its word that this was “Red.” I rented for Spirit Week to achieve a Santa look, but it was just a flop. With the split sides it was not my style. Sleeves made me feel like Mulan and not in a good way. Good quality weave, but I felt uncomfortable in it.

To the rescue for Spirit Week
I don’t like buying clothes for one-time wear, so this was the perfect to be festive without commitment. It was the perfect color for “Grinch Day” and the fit/fabric was so comfortable! If it were a color more complimentary to my skin tone I may have bought this one, but it served its purpose well and I got some compliments too.

Loved the color, pockets are always a plus, but not for busty gals. My breasts were smashed down and the neck gaped weird. I tried to cover it with a necklace, but was self conscious.

This top is amazing
I rented to wear to work, and loved the color and fit so much I wore it again and again as an everyday top. It’s flexible as a professional or everyday top. Almost added to my closet because I felt great in it, got loads of compliments, and I’m all for machine wash/lay flat to dry . . . but even with a membership discount it was outside my price point to buy. I will definitely keep my eye out though for if this one goes on clearance!

Comfortable meets Professional
Great slacks! My trouble area is my tummy, so I wore it with a tank top that has a U-hem and added a cardigan that pulled out the satin stripe on the side. Length hit at a good place on my ankle and pockets are always a plus. I was tempted to buy, but didn’t want to dry clean.

Bright, bold, and comfortable
I rented this for spirit week at work. I wasn’t expecting the animal print collar (shame on me for not looking closer,) but it still worked given the bright, bold, fun print. Another surprise was how soft and comfortable the fabric felt. It was like wearing a pajama top!

Cute, lots of potential, but couldn't wear because it wasn't true to size. Will size up and try again.

Felt like the dancing girl emoiji once we got it zipped up
The zipper is on the side under your arm and the fabric is slippery, so be prepared to ask for help when getting dressed. It's just an awkward angle. Looked great on, felt sexy, beautiful flowy skirt I wasn't tripping on, but the fabric shows flaws, so spanx up and grab a friend when putting it on!

The comfort of PJs, the professionalism of dress slacks
These made a 13-hour work day bearable. The stretch waist band is easily concealed. Pockets were convenient without dragging pants down, or bulging/gaping when in use. The material was comfy/breathable in summer heat without showing panty lines. They were a little revealing of a belly, but either people didn't notice or I don't care anymore. I almost bought, but prefer tumble dry low to lay flat/hang to dry items. Very easy to mix/match.

Super cozy
I don't usually like turtlenecks and the wider sleeves gave me pause ... I wasn't sure I could pull it off, but once I put it on I felt cute and it was so cozy! I'm debating buying it.

Felt Like a Goddess
Loved the sexy details: flowy sleeves, cut of the back, and oh-so-comfortable. It bared a little too much cleavage for this event, but I would definitely rent again for a non-work event.

Holiday or Everyday
I wore this to Thanksgiving and it was super comfy, warm, and cute. Seems like it can be dressed up or down. It is cropped, so I elected to wear a cami underneath and was more comfortable at the overall feel and appearance. Would definitely recommend.

Bubble sleeves
I will start this off by saying I'm not a fashionista. The sweater was perfectly lovely. Great olive color complimented by skin tone nicely. Warm. The sleeves were poofier than I was expecting. They bubbled out which was interesting. It looked ok as shown, but I wore it mostly with the sleeves pulled to three quarter length because it hid the bubble sleeves and I was more comfortable with 3/4 sleeves anyway.

Doesn't discriminate
I wanted this dress to work. The detail off the shoulder and slit were sexy, while keeping it classy. I tried it with and without shape wear but couldn't get it to close. I enlisted help and they could not get it to close. I'm usually a 8 or 10 in dresses, but could not get this 10 to work. Even if it did zip up I was self conscious that it hugged the wrong places as well as the right ones. My chest and butt looked great, but I didn't like that it highlighted my belly. A no from me.

I wanted this to work
I'm in a Buffalo plaid mood and this jacket was one of the cuter options available to rent! The jacket fit well in the bust and length fell at a flattering spot. I might even have bought it, had it not been tight in the arms when I drove. Not impossible, but also not as it should. If there was a next size up, that probably would have fixed the problem.

Navy not black
I'm usually between an 8-10. I think I could have worn an 8 in this because the blouse fell a little long on my wrists. Other reviewers said the cami it comes with is tight. I would add that it's sheer. I wore a cami I had with it because I wasn't comfortable with my bra showing through it. Also it has an interesting gap in the sleeve others warned about, but due to the fabric, it can't be rolled and look good. I got compliments and it worked well for my work event.

Golden
I rented this for my 30th birthday. The party theme was "saying goodbye to my roaring 20s" and this dress was perfect when styled with some of my own accessories. It could easily be worn for a non-Gatsby event. I'd rent again or buy! Non-stop compliments and photographs so well! Noticeable for all the right reasons.

Pants that fit without the commitment
I rented these pants for work because I am slowly working off weight and don't want to buy pants until I reach my goal weight range. When I was a size 12 pant I weighed 180 lbs. I wasn't sure if I was a 10 yet, but at 163 lbs the 10 was comfortable. These fit snugly when first put on, but loosened as I moved without ever looking sloppy. I was in them for 14 hours and looked--plus felt--good the whole time! Just didn't have a good background or photographer to snap a pic.

Legs for days
I wish I'd gotten 8 Short. Even in my tallest heels, I was walking on the pant legs. Otherwise it was a great fit and comfortable. The zipper was smooth to get by myself. I loved the neckline and bow.

Great Gatsby Theme... Nailed It!
This arrived two days sooner than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised there was some shimmer in the lacy part of the top and the details on the sleeve. Talk about comfy and figure-flattering! I got compliments all night long. People even thought I participated in the parade this was so perfect to the themed event. I'm not sure if this was mine or they all do this, but the neck gaped a little. It wasn't bad, just expected it to hug my neck more than it did. And as others before me have said, this one is easier if you have a friend help you get in/out of it as the zipper sticks periodically as you're zipping/unzipping. It can be done by yourself, if you're flexible.
