Perfect!!
I’ve wanted to try out the Selkie Puff dress for years now and am so happy I did. It’s definitely short and a bit sheer in the bodice, but for me the fit and length were basically perfect. Rent it - you’ll get so many compliments!!

The Rainbow Puff Dress
Selkie
Size Worn: 3X
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 6"
In love!
I rented this for a solo trip to Puerto Rico, which it was PERFECT for, but I've also worn it a couple times in day to day life back at home. It's very (intentionally) oversized, so most renters can probably size down. The wrist ties are a bit long and the button-front can be pretty revealing, but I think it all works great together as a loose, flowy, vacation-ready piece. Prepare for compliments!
Freshly Squeezed Top
Free People
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Comfy!
These were super comfy and a nice alternative to my usual solid-colored work pants, but they were a bit longer than I'd like and were awfully thick/warm for summer. The elastic in the waistband was also prone to twisting, but that may have just been a fluke. Not a total wow for me, but good!
Collage Kylie Culottes

In love!!
I loved this dress so much I decided to buy and keep it. It's a breathable sweater material that would work really year-round, and it strikes a great balance between casual and polished. The sheer lace begins pretty high, so beware if you're much taller than 5'6. But otherwise, expect compliments!!
Laced Hem Nero Dress
Twinset
Size Worn: XL

At least it's cute as a top?
In order to make a mini-length sweatshirt dress work, I'd expect a boxy oversized fit, and this was too fitted in my usual size to make any sense as a dress. (If you can size up, consider it.) That said, I loved the top half, so since the skirt was so short, I tucked it into culottes to make it into a cute top instead!
Flutter Me Please Dress
Sanctuary
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Great summer dress
Really solid choice for summer! Comfortable and of a modest enough length and neckline to be just fine at church or the office.
White Cap Sleeve Popover Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16

Only cropped if you're tall!
I'll start by saying I really liked these. They're very fashion forward and comfortable (though be warned, the elastic has little give, so don't size down). However, a couple big notes: 1) These aren't crops unless you're about 5'9 or taller. They worked as full-length pants, but that wasn't what I was expecting. 2) The fabric wasn't what I expected either - it's fairly thick, almost like regular khakis, and wrinkles very easily. Keep those things in mind, but definitely give them a try!!
Tan Karate Pants

Size Worn: XL

Fun!
Colorful, comfortable, and all-around made a fun addition to my summer wardrobe. I sized up since my preferred size wasn't available, and it worked, but I'd definitely recommend getting your true size. Aside from that, the only drawbacks were that the wrap style read a bit like a bathrobe at times, and it was quite low cut - my bra was often visible if I wasn't wearing a cami.
Striped Elliot Romper
Hutch
Size Worn: 2X
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Easy to wear
This is comfortable, cute, and fits true to size. It's high quality for faux leather too. That said, it wasn't my favorite - nearly knee-length and A-line seems like an odd cut for black leather. I'd prefer an edgier mini silhouette if I'm going to wear a leather skirt, but if you're looking for a modest cut in an unexpected fabric, this is a good option.
Black Luxe Faux Skirt
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Nice, not amazing
This is a cute, comfy shirt! I have no huge complaints...it's just solid, not necessarily anything to write home about. Two warnings: my particular one was a bit worn (some small tears at seams, not very vibrant white), and the neckline is pretty low. It's built very oversized obviously, which was great for me since I probably wouldn't fit in a standard Vince XL. If you're wondering if it'll still look good if you size down for a less slouchy look, I can attest that it definitely does!
Silk Scarf Print Popover Blouse
VINCE.
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 6"
Nearly perfect
I loved this dress! I didn't realize upon renting that it was bodycon with no zipper, but I actually liked it that way - it was surprisingly stretchy and comfortable for something so form-fitting. My only qualm is that it shows a lot more cleavage than it appears to in photos/at first glance. So watch out for that, but otherwise, prepare for compliments!
Blue Delina Sheath
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe
Size Worn: 52
Usual Size: 16

Backup to first choice!
This was my backup dress for a (very hot!) summer wedding, but I wore it instead of my first choice because I liked it so much. This was very comfortable, and it was visually interesting with the asymmetric hem and off-shoulder neckline. It's also a nice and thick fabric but still managed to stay cool on a 95-degree day. I got tons of compliments!

Navy Jolene Dress
Hutch
Size Worn: 1X
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 6"
Great option
I didn't end up wearing this dress because I think I'm right in between sizes — the 18 was too big, but the 16, while it did fit, was way too tight to be comfortable on a 95-degree day. That said, it is cute! It's a thicker, more woven-looking material than I was expecting, but the ruffle sleeve is fun (and covered some small ripped seams in the dress I received) and the color is lovely. Would have been great if I were about six pounds lighter or heavier, or if it'd been cool enough outside to pull off something so skintight.

Coral Ruffle Cold Shoulder Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 18

Unusual but cool
This is definitely a challenging style to pull it off if you aren't used to avant garde styling, but with a little experimenting I thought it was great! It's intentionally very oversized, which made it super comfy. Good for summer but would probably work in other seasons too.
