Better If someone else is paying
This bag is incredibly chic and timeless. I loved how I felt wearing it and the look it portrayed. However, my one comment throughout the night was "wow, this would be a better bag if I didn't have to open it to take my card out every so often." The bag is not difficult to open, but it is a pain to keep opening. It is also a pain to keep closing it. The mechanism takes a lot of effort to get right. I would have enjoyed using the bag more if I didn't have to pay throughout the night!

Such fun!
I love this sweater so much, where do I even start? First, the fit is loose. I prefer sweaters this way, but if you like them fitted, size down. I have a long torso and the sweater was definitely long enough. I originally rented for weekend wear, but it was so great that I couldn't wait. I ended up wearing to work. I paired with loafers and black pants which made it appropriate for work. Last, the sweater is so soft and cozy. Not itchy at all. It was like wearing a blanket on a cool day.

Baggy in the mid-section
This dress is very interesting and elegant. I had hoped to wear this dress for a date night with my boyfriend, but it ultimately ended up being too baggy in the midsection and not sexy enough for a romantic night out given the fit, the high neck, and more conservative design. I normally wear a 22 in this brand, but I think I could have sized down a size for a more formfitting silhouette.

Difficult sizing, but ultimately perfect
This coat is great if you get the sizing correct. What the description doesn't say is that the Xs are based off of UK sizing. I normally wear a US 18, but rented and wore a 3x. According to the label on the jacket, a 3X is a UK 22. This more or less equates to a US 18. There is very little "give" in the jacket, so sizing is very important. That being said, the fit was still odd. It was indeed tight in the hips as other reviewers had stated. However, thanks to the other reviewers, I knew to compensate for this and rented accordingly. I ended up wearing this everyday of my 6 day London trip. It was perfect for London weather and just interesting enough to add a bit of feminine detail to an otherwise unmemorable outfit. I am actually considering buying the jacket as it would be the perfect topper for a business casual or professional occasion.

Tiny!
This shirt was so small! I rented my usual size and I could hardly put it on. If it had fit around my midsection, my breasts would have been popping out and my mid drift would have been exposed. I don't think this shirt would have fit even if I had gone up two sizes

Ruffle draws attention to midsection
This dress was just bleh. I could have worn it, but felt self conscious with the ruffle placement around my midsection. Other than that, the rest of the dress fit like a sac. It did not flatter my body at all.

Not my favorite, but not the worst
This dress has a lot of problems. It runs big and like other reviewers said, the pockets stick out making the hips look bigger than they actually are. Additionally, the dress was long on me (I'm 5' 9") so I can see how it would be too long on someone shorter. However, I still like this dress. It looks like it's tweed, but it is actually a stretchy fabric, making it light enough for summer. The pocket problem was easily rectified by throwing a blazer over the dress. I also ended up scrunching the dress up around the middle to make myself look a little less "hippy" and shorted the length. I was able to wear the dress to work, but I probably would not order again.

Adorable dress
The dress fit great. I sized up a big and it was exceptionally comfortable. The dress is a little heavier than expected and has an under skirt that gives it some "poof" on the bottom. My hips looked a little big, but nothing I couldn't handle. My biggest problem however is that the dress smelled like serious B.O.. it is unwearable.

Perfect work dress
This dress is made of light scuba material. It is definitely not too heavy for a hot and humid summer work day. I ordered my normal size and I easily could have sized down. Definitely not a problem though, it is very TTS. The only con though is that the scuba material is not very forgiving. I had to wear some shapewear to smooth out my curves. I would not have felt comfortable otherwise.

I couldn't wear this dress - it was too tight in the arms
This dress was unwearable. Although the dress itself has some give, the arms do not. I ordered my normal size, but sizing up would not have made the dress wearable.

Such a fun work option!
This was such a fun option for summer time work wear. It was long enough and conservative enough to fit in at my law firm, but light and airy enough to be comfortable all day at my desk. Plus the fun print is just so cheerful. This dress also has a great amount of stretch and is not constricting.

Size up
If I had sized up, this would've been a great pair of pants. They felt comfortable through the legs and felt like they could be worn comfortably during the summer heat. I'm 5' 9" and they were the perfect length for a kitten heal or flats.
