Fits boxy, great for summer
Wore this multiple times: to work, walking to dinner on a hot evening, at home working. Loved it each time. It can be dressed up or down and elevates even the most basic pants. It's very boxy but still has decent length so I'd suggest sizing down even if you're tall.

Modern print and color, super cute detail
Received NWT and it was crisp and lovely. My daughter wore to brunch and looked great. The colors are modern and the strap detail in the back is interesting and fun. Loved this piece! It is see-through on a sunny day so be prepared with a half-slip if that's not your jam.

Well-made, a bit frumpy if hippy
I wanted to love this bc Ann Mashburn is a favorite but ended up feeling frumpy no matter how I styled it. Couldn't wait to get it off. That said, my colleague who is slimmer has rented and looks great in this.

Perfect spring shirt. Crop length works great with high-waisted jeans, cute with a barrel cut. You’ll want a steamer for the sleeves.

I reached for these daily and kept two cycles - perfect slightly elevated spring jean. Wore with balloon sleeve striped shirt and flats out to dinner, and tee and trainers for errands. Perfect also for a more casual day in the office.

Long length -- great for tall.
Floor length (and gorgeous) on my 6'2" daughter. Great for standing around looking spectacular, but not much support if you're looking to dance.

Long, heavy, and absolutely gorgeous
Gorgeous - the colors, print, fabric, and cut are absolutely stunning. This is definitely a high-end piece that gets noticed. The fit is tough - it is super fitted from a very high waist to below the hips, with no give at all -- and the cut looks best with a fitted top so be prepared your entire midsection is highlighted. Loved this while standing but definitely not sitting. This was floor-length at 5'9" and a heavy cotton - will swamp anyone petite!

Adorable but not for the petite!
A Large was far too big and bulky for an 8-10, small chested me. But it’s adorable and if you are gorgeously tall and well-endowed this will be fabulous on you. Seriously long (floor length at 5’9”) and very long waisted (great if you have a chest to fill it out). Nice tabs in the back to add some shape. Will try again in a smaller size.

These can be dressed up or down, nice waist height, cute styling. I'm an 8-10 and found the 10 a bit tight in the waist and hips.

Fun during holidays, but itchy
Wore this a ton during the Christmas holidays. From basic work from home with jeans, to lunch at my kid's school with black pants, to Christmas Eve candlelight church with heavyweight grey pants. Is a bit itchy - layering piece needs a wide neck to not interfere with the adorable collar .

Lovely dress but did not work for either of us. Too clingy for me, too tight necked for her.

Compliment magnet!
Loved this -- compliments the moment I stepped out of the car. But, worth knowing: it is pretty heavy, and the handle is a bit too wide to be comfortable to carry. It is worth it if you're willing to let your accessory be the tempermental star your evening.

Lightweight and cute but very short and boxy
Would recommend only for petites, or talls only if you have very high waisted pants to wear with. This is cute but it is cut very cropped and looks funny even with my ribcage waist pants.

Easy, comfy sweater - repeat rental
I rent this sweater every year during the fall and have a hard time sending it back. I wear it with jeans, nice pants to work, to the movies with my kids, pretty much everywhere. It's a nice weight, doesn't itch, is a nice alternative to a basic sweater when working from home, or is comfortable in the office on a basic work day.

Gorgeous colors, beautiful dress
What a great fall/Thanksgiving dress. The colors are striking, the quilting is lovely, the weight of it is just right for fall. I found the sleeves to be overwhelming and too youthful for my age (53) and contained them purposely underneath a jacket when I wore this. On someone younger (or not puffy-sleeve averse) this is an absolutely lovely dress.

Lovely, heavy sweater - doubles as an office jacket
This is a beautiful sweater, heavy enough to wear as a jacket in a cold office or at a nice restaurant. Too heavy to wear under a winter coat unless you wear monster-big coats. Easy to style but worth knowing that the sleeves bell out just enough that they need handling, or cuffing, or mental capacity beyond the regular wearing of a sweater. Large fits a size 10+.

Comfy, interesting, takes a minute to style
Wore these a couple of times when I wanted to stay in sweats but sweats wouldn't cut it (to the dentist in the fancy part of town, to dinner with my husbands friends, etc). They are cute and comfortable, great with city sneakers if you need to look put together but are going to do a lot of walking. Would be cute with a longline bra top or tight tank for day drinking - imo needs something tight on top to balance the balloon of the bottom. Nice weight, good pockets.

Go down 1 to 2 sizes!
Didn’t love these. Fabric looked like 80-year old grandma poly material and an 8 fit like a 12. Order several sizes smaller than you’d expect and get your Mephisto loafers ready for the Early Bird special at the Olive Garden.

Comfort piece, goes with everything
Ok so maybe it doesnt really go with everything but screw ‘em wear it with everything anyways bc this baby is so comfy and cute. I had it on vacation and every single family member said buy it immediately and I’m so glad I did. For actual info that will be useful - this is a medium-weight quilted piece with just enough shape to be interesting. It’s the right amount of boxy to fit layers underneath but is just as cute with a tank or fun collared shirt. Packs well, serves as a nice seat cushion at a concert (hello Gregory Allan Isakov at Red Rocks!) and is a perfect layer on a plane. Really, she’s kind of the adult version of the blankie you gave up as a kid so yes, I’d give emotional support item status for this one.

Great color and pattern, cut is short and boxy
This would be cute tucked into high-waisted pants - just like on the model - otherwise the cut is fairly boxy. I sized up hoping to get more length as it’s cut pretty short but this might just be a pass if you’re tall or long waisted because a bigger size just got wider but not longer which was really just “not a look” according to my teens.

Lightweight cotton with nice stretch, pockets
The fabric of this dress looks dressy and heavy but is not - it’s actually a very lightweight flowy cotton that both stretches and holds shape. The basque waist is super flattering and the pockets are generous. Bust is fitted with light stretch. Loved this one and wore on repeat while I had it. Will rent again.

Great cut, tighter in the chest, pattern not my fave
Loved the cut of this dress and wore several times. Worth noting that the bust is cut smaller than the rest of the dress so if you’re extra up top, might want to size up. The pattern on this one is a little Jekyll and Hyde; it’s modern and cute alone, but immediately frumpy when paired with a jacket or cardigan.

Elegant for a night at the theater!
Perfect dress for an evening out watching a great show. I liked the lines better wearing it backwards, and stayed warmer that way in a cold theater. The front is fairly open/low-cut even when buttoned up so a reverse wear negates the need for finding the right bra, and the high slits were in the back, which was more comfortable sitting. It’s a thinner fabric so it’s a great dress for summer or early fall. I’d note that it was floor-length on me in flats at 5’9” so prepare to belt if you’re not tall.

Favorite rental status⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a great dress. The material is very lightweight and soft. It drapes beautifully and the long length makes it dressier than expected for a shirt dress. I was equally comfortable wearing it to work, to an outdoor work party, to Mother’s Day dinner, to several graduations. The long sleeves can be rolled when hot out and provide nice warmth if windy or for a cooler night. It looks like a lot of dress (and it would be for anyone 5’6” or shorter) but the lightweight fabric makes it so you wear it rather than it wearing you. Cannot say enough good things, keeping for my 3rd rental cycle which I never do!

It's a look for.... (not me)?
This is a vibrant, crisp cotton dress with cool pattern and gorgeous colors but the ruffle up top was just too much for me. It will look lovely on maybe someone petite or I don't know, just someone who is not me.

Definitely needs a nude slip underneath! Beautiful dress, generous cut.
Wore this to church on Easter and loved it amidst the sea of pastel. It is cut quite generously below the chest which is lovely for the perfectly pear. Even then, it was too big for me as a true 8, will rent a size down in the future.

Has a slight sheen I didn't expect. Runs big.
Thought this would be a flat canvas cotton but it has an unexpected slight sheen to it. Fits quite big, I'd go down a size or two depending on the look you want or what you're planning to wear underneath. Is nice for a cold office over lots of spring/summer things.

Really enjoyed these. More casual in general (think: perfect weekend wear) but I did add a button down and belt and also wear on a more casual day to the office. Will rent again in a smaller size (I'm a true 8 and the 28 were a bit big).
