Love it! Need to adjust shoulder straps
Great fit. I would recommend ordering a size up. I ordered a size up and it was still rather form fitting. Straps were way too big so I pinned about two inches down with safety pins and it fit perfectly. Love it. Would have bought if it was cheaper

Usual Size: 16

Cute-Big Shoulder Opening
Could have used a belt but that would have made it too short. Cute anyway, just needs some accessorizing

Order A Size (or two) Up!
Ordered a size up and it was still very tight in the bust/shoulders. Had to wear with a gap on cleavage which requires a tank top under it. In addition, even with the gap it was very tight on my shoulders restricting movement. It feels like a petite and I am not a petite
Clara Leopard Dress

I wear a size XL and the 2XL was still small
I ordered up and I'm glad I did. I still needed to wear a shirt underneath and loosen it up a bit (which luckily I could because it's a wrap). I do really like it despite the additional work I had to put into making it work.
Ashlyn Top

Order way up in size
I normally wear a 16 jean and ordered a 2XL, it fit but the skirt was a little short in the front (would be fine for a date or going out but not for work or a professional event). I would have worn it out in a date but my 38DDD kept popping the snap on the top and exposing my bra whenever I moved (not okay), maybe I could have make it work with some fashion tape or safety pin? But I don't have any

Be safe and order a size up
At first the dress did not fit, but with my best set of spanks I was able to wear it and really liked it. I'm 5'9 and it was a little on the short side, sitting down was a little risky. But I still really liked it. A gorgeous dress (considered purchasing)
Grey Day Dress

Nice dress, but need to order a size or two up.
I wear a 16 and ordered a 16. I was able to get it on with my best pair of spanks but it was skin tight and not suitable for work. Really great dress, but you need to order a size or two up. (I suggest two to my curvy girls with hips that do not lie)
The Heist Dress

Usual Size: 16

Flattering and fun
Loved this dress, it was so simple but quite flatter and fun. Very comfortable and light. Covered all the right places and was an appropriate length. Loved it but way to expensive to purchase (which made wearing it all the more fun)
Fan Floral Natalia Dress

Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"

Very flattering cute
The sweater looked great on, I guess quality clothes will do that. The arms were a little short for me, but other than that it was a good rental
Grey Maxwell Sweater

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 38DDD/E
Lace work was gorgeous
Loved this fresh and funky sweater. The detail was so pretty. The length was more a midriff sweater, so it was a little short on my torso. But it was a fun wear for the day
Embellished Cable Sweater
J.Crew
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Loved, but a midriff sweater
I probably would have bought this because it was so soft and comfy but it was a little short in the torso and hit me at my biggest spot. I really did like it though. Definitely contemplated buying anyway
Marled Roll Neck Sweater
Sanctuary
Size Worn: 1X
Usual Size: 16

Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
So pretty, but hurt to wear
Now I'm not a very big earring wearer which is maybe why I could only wear them for an hour or two before they started hurting, but they were truly stunning no I wish they were lighter, had a more secure backing or were a little smaller
Chrysanthe Mint Earrings

Usual Size: 16

Great sweater
I rented this in white and pink and while I'm not a big pink wearer, I found I like the pink better the White was just kind of blah. Still a very comfy and cozy sweater
Grey Lonnie Sweater
J.Crew
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Tough to wear
I found this tough to wear as it was shifting throughout the day. I don't know if I was completely pulling it off, it was a lot of material going on. I got a couple compliment and a couple 'What are you wearing?'s
Duo Wonder Cape
Donni Charm
Size Worn: ONESIZE
Usual Size: 16

A little short
Very comfy, a little short in the torso, maybe it's supposed to be more of a mid-drift look??
Hampton Sweater

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 38DDD/E
Weekend Comfies
Perfect for the weekend comfies. Sleeves were a little short and it was more of a crop top. This fit was an XL on an XL girl. But I think I pulled it off anyway
New York Sweatshirt
J.Crew
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Classic easy look
Loved the fit and you could definitely make it adjustable on the knot to be comfortable to you. Just a classic easy look with a little bit of drama. Loved the thin sweater material
Black Arenal Front Tie Sweater

So comfortable
I accidentally ordered this a size up, but I think that's what made it so comfortable. I was on the verge of buying this one. Loved it!
Pink Lonnie Sweater
J.Crew
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 38DDD/E
Compliments
I liked the sweater. Very soft. Cozy and warm due to the thick fabric. Hard to wear a necklace with so u found it difficult to accessorize. A good rental!
Rust Ottawa Top
Amanda Uprichard
Size Worn: 1X
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Cozy easy casual
This sweater is so cozy. I think the ribbed band laid a little weird because it is a one size fits all. For me (cause I'm a bigger girl) it laid flat, I think I would have preferred to have it folded over (looks more polished and finished that way). Maybe some of those little tiny girls can wear it folded. But all and all I really liked it.

Super cute
I thought the shirt was super cute, did some extra accessorizing and added a belt and it was adorable. Almost bought, but wouldn't wear it regularly enough.
Blue Martine Top
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
A bit odd, not quite what I expected.
The fit was a little to big to be flattering, but going a size smaller would probably cling to my hips (which wouldn't be flattering). I think it need static guard or a slip for the skirt. I almost felt like the waist needed a belt. The color was also more dull than I expected (more of a mustard with green undertones). Wore it anyway and got a compliment.
Asymmetrical Pleated Dress
ELOQUII
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 245lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Sized up b/c regular size was snug on hips.
However when I sized up to get a good fit on my hips it felt way too big up top and I just felt sloppy instead of fancy. I did wear it a few times, it was a nice color
Grey Cocoon Coat
J.Crew
Size Worn: 18
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 38DDD/E
Perfect for any occasion.
Versatile shirt. More of a sweatshirt material rather than the knit sweater I thought it was going to be. Could dress up and wear to work or pair with yoga pants for weekend errands. Loved it so much I ended up buying it!
Corbelle Navy Pullover
Universal Standard
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 16

Loved so much I bought it
The sweater is a beautiful semi lined material. I love the fit, its very flattering to the waistline. Depending on how you style it, you'll have completely different looks (especially depending on the color of the undershirt). Highly recommend

XL too small for size 16/18
Looked like it was going to be so cute, but XL didn't fit my 16/18 hips

Too short for a dress
Way too short to wear as a dress (especially for a plus sized girl). Would need to order a smaller size to pull off as a shirt. Came with a weird slip that was like a shirt as well. All very sheer. Didn't end up wearing, returned immediately.
