Easy, Flowy, But Cheapy
Great for some color and hot weather appropriate. Loved the cut of the skirt and the detail at the back. The zipper was finicky and the seam at the bust was kind of twisted or off center. Felt a bit fast fashion-y, but great for a one and done event. Wore a stick-on bra, but didn’t really need it.

Preppy Shirtdress or Cover-up
Poplin material allows for crisply folded sleeves and non-floppy collar. Wore as a cover up and as a dress to breakfast at resort. Probably too short for dress around the city. Quality garment.

Funky statement dress
Wow, this dress brings the party. Totally clingy, so no hiding VPL or tummy, but the intense pattern and soft material make it manageable. I managed to go braless but the chest isn't as tight or supportive as it may seem. Very long and very high slit.

Perfect Coat - Bought It
Oversized, rented a 12 but bought the 10. Tons of compliments, so easy to throw on over anything. Massive pockets. Not terribly warm - New England spring and fall.

Quality lined cotton with pockets
Lovely dress, lining gives it some structure and volume. Elastic ruching at back offers flexibility. Was a tiny bit roomier than expected at chest and waist, comfortable. Fitted enough to go braless, but straps were a tiny bit long. Excellent print for vacation!

Fun, flirty dress
Loved this juicy colored, swishy flirty dress! Amazing pattern. Definitely short,. Deep neckline but hook and eye claps kept it together. Because the top has volume, I went braless with no worries about the girls holding their shape. Also, figured I didn't need any push up since the legs were so on display. The arms aren't too tight, but the ruched sleeves do add a tiny bit of bulk. Paired with a sparkly earring and bright lip, this is party-perfect! Would buy.

Great Set
Second vacation that I've rented this set for - super comfy and flattering. Because of the crop top volume, can go braless, which is nice in a tropical clime. Easy to roll up, travels well. I've worn this for breakfasts and dinners at a resort - might be a bit thick and warm to walk around midday in the sun.

Like all Iro jackets - stunning but small
I love these jackets & rented for work headshots. The tailoring is impeccable. Have tried several in the largest size, but all are just a bit too small in the arms and shoulders for everyday wear. Alas, you stylish French company!

Repeat rented & finally bought
Comfy as sin, high quality, and polished. Originally rented for an October trip to Italy. Wore on the red-eye flight & it was warm and comfy like pjs. Wore as dress & cardigan throughout the trip. Not a thick knit but substantial and warm. Rented for wintertime work again. Finally bought it, but sized up to XL because the front slit when worn as a dress was a bit too high in the L. Bit of an investment but so versatile and flattering.

Didn’t Wear
Even for a gal’s trip to Mexico, I decided this was just too small & revealing in the chest. The dress is beautiful and very well made. Gorgeous color & pattern. Obvs love the pockets. I’m usually a 12 in dresses, sized up to 14 based on other reviews, clearly need a 16. If you’ve got a sizeable bust the cutout underneath will be hidden and a non-issue 😂 May try again in larger size.

Pretty & feminine, thin & clingy
I liked it but… More sheer and clingy than expected. A bit underwhelmed by the fabric feel, like stretchy polyester from H&M vibes. However, it hung beautifully on the body and felt sexy. Lots of boobage for me. Wore nude colored strapless bra & thong, but shapewear wouldn’t be a bad idea for panty seams and belly curves. I’m 5’8” and wearing 3.5” heels, and the dress was still almost skimming the floor fyi.

Ran a bit small & see-through
I'm between a 12 and 14. Tried the 12, and they fit reasonable, but the real concern was how see through they were. Perhaps sizing up would have helped, but I was surprised how thin the material was. Thought the color would be fun for the holidays. Clearly a nice quality garment, but didn't work for me.

Floaty and feminine
Wore to a rehearsal dinner. Felt beautiful. Quite sheer, wore with a slip. I’m between an L and XL, but L was flattering. It moved and fluttered romantically. Can’t wait to try more pieces from this designer.

Love! Bought the matching set from Splendid!
I was worried a L would be a bit tight across my stomach and hips, so sized up to XL. Either are fine. I adored this soft material and fun puff sleeve detail - so much that I bought a navy set (with awesome matching joggers) from Splendid. Purchased top in L. With a statement necklace, good for casual Friday at work, too.

Comically Shrunken
Really felt like the was wearing a shrunken kid’s sweater. Liked the colors, the material was so-so. Short and boxy. I am between L and XL in sweaters, and the XL was shorter than my high rise jeans. Beware.

Hoping to buy it!
This is a beautiful, flattering skirt. It drapes perfectly and is very versatile. Not too heavy, sweater-like or itchy. Would be good anytime but summer heat. Give it a try!

Reached for it a lot, but didn't love it.
This is a 3.5 or 4. It didn't feel as luxe or well made as most pieces I've rented. My pet peeve, that the pockets hang out from the interior, was an immediate buzzkill. The fabric feels a bit underwhelming, too. That said, its a good style - comfy and put together combo that I wore a number of times while I had it. I bet there are better versions of this jacket on the site, but this one will do.

Fun, chic, not as clingy as I expected
I was worried that this would be either too sheer or slinky for the office, or too clingy and thin to be flattering. BUT, it was actually perfect in both of those regards! Great weight of the fabric. Different and bold. Would rent again. I would say it runs just ever so slightly large - I'm between L and XL, and the L felt plenty generous.

Loved It!
Was almost brand new, and fit just a tiny bit smaller than other Shoshanna knits (perhaps because it was so new). Very flattering and lots of compliments.

Really nice jacket - lots of compliments - tight across bust
High quality, unique, fun item! Got several compliments on this. I'm more on the classic/feminine style profile, so a biker jacket was a risk for me. I wore it for work like a blazer and with jeans for everyday. At 36DD, the chest looked pulled if zipped up, but was not an issue to wear it open. It squeaked a bit too much for my liking, but then again, leather isn't really my MO. Will definitely try more items like this!

Nice Jacket - tight in the sleeves - not blown away
I was excited for this piece and did wear it a number of times, between work and date night. Its the understated kind of high quality that is enjoyable to wear, but not all that striking in photos. A bit tight in the arms meant had to layer thinly. Versatile but not exciting enough for a re-rent or purchase from me.

Lovely Dress
Great color, flattering fit and material - lots of compliments! A bit short for me at 5’8”, but not wardrobe malfunction short. Work to a work-client party, felt fun but appropriate. Heavier weight material smooths bumps and kept me comfortable in early fall. Stunning color. Highly recommend!

Really Lovely Blazer
Very true to size, I'm a 12 on top and this fit great across the shoulders and arms. At 36DD, it's ever so slightly small across the chest, but does button well. Nice material - lighter weight makes it fine for Spring-Fall. Great color & looks very polished! FYI the button on my size 12 was slightly chipped. Would def rent again.

Flattering White Pants!
I am between a 12 and 14. Was unsure if a 32 would work, but these have just enough stretch and fit great! I'm pretty pear shaped and my thighs have sabotaged a ton of jeans, but no problem here. I am always hesitant about white jeans being see through, and also showing for cellulite. These are a good weight. A few visible dimples on the back of my legs, but overall a win!
