Versatile
Loved this comfortable and flattering dress! Wore to a work conference and got tons of compliments. Fabric is heavy enough to look expensive and it doesn't wrinkle even after being folded in a suitcase for several days. Fit was very slightly big but I would still consider TTS. This one is a winner!

Wish I'd sized down as this was a big too large for me and felt sloppy. Beautiful print and soft/comfortable fabric

Perfect fit, travels well (no wrinkles), and comfortable. Draped beautifully. Wore for work and an impromptu concert that evening - business casual in the club never looked so good!

Obsessed
I absolutely LOVED these jeans. Comfortable with just enough stretch but not so much that they got sloppy. Perfect length for me (28" inseam) and a high enough rise to sit right on a long torso. If I had more ideas on how to style these I probably would have bought them. Will definitely rent again!

I love how unique and polished this jacket is. Ran a bit warm and no stretch, TTS. Beautiful in person - the photos don't do it justice. Traveled extremely well with no wrinkles. This one is a winner.

Wore this for a conference and loved it! Looks polished over pretty much anything. Non-functional pockets, runs a bit warm. Wrinkled in my luggage but ironed out most of the way. Will rent again!

Perfect for a work trip, minimal iron needed and packs up small. Extremely flattering. Needs tape to close the chest gape, caution the fabric is on the slippery side so use more tape than you think. Really bad about showing moisture like water droplets so careful around beverages. Got lots of compliments- would rent again.

Unflattering
The seam at the hips seems designed to highlight any stomach pooch one may have. Terribly unflattering while also looking matronly. Too bad because the color is gorgeous

Short
Obsessed with this print but it’s super short and runs small in the hips. Sizing up would make the top too large. Little to no stretch in the fabric. Bummed this one didn’t work!

Just ok
Beautiful print, a lot of fabric. Billows out from the waist creating an unflattering silhouette. No stretch in the waist which I found large - sizing down may have been too tight. Small pockets are nice.

Pear Shapes Beware
The sizing on this one is a bummer. There is tons of room on top, a teeny tiny waist with no stretch, and then a very narrow fit in the hips. If you have hips or a butt, you are probably going to have a bad time. Too bad because the dress is great! The bell sleeves are stunning and the pattern is gorgeous and unique. With the right fit this would be a knockout.

Polished, Weird Fit
This looks great but unfortunately didn’t fit well. Snug in the waist and hips and loose at the bust & shoulders. When I sat down the top of the vest would float above my shoulder. I think this is meant for a taller body.

Runs big, shorts are weird
This runs large but with the built in shorts I don't think I could size down. Hit at a weird spot on my waist so it felt sloppy. Great print and fabric but not for me.

Great Pattern, Weird Fit
This skirt was really long and cut weird. Not great for petites or those with hips/butt. Echo the other reviews about the crazy tight waistband, I ended up getting into this head first which helped. Amazing pattern got tons of compliments but I couldn't make it fit comfortably

I absolutely loved this top! Great fitting, slim without being constrictive, and surprisingly warm considering the mesh. Wore for work several times with an undershirt (though I don't think one is necessary). The pattern is adorable and got lots of compliments. Will rent again!

High quality, tough fit
I loved this dress but it's not for women with hips. Very large on top and quite narrow fitting on bottom. Gorgeous fabric, loved the mixed media style, but tough for my body type to pull off.

Soft Fabric, Cute Pattern
The look and feel of this dress were great but it's cut for a much taller, bustier, and smaller-hipped woman. I was able to bunch up the extra fabric and tie in back to make it work for an evening out but this really didn't work for my body type

I ordered my typical size in skirts and could barely get this past my knees. I would ordering AT LEAST 2 sizes up and even then wouldn’t count on this fitting. Such a waste of a spot.

The Sleeves!
Ok, these sleeves are everything. This is such a fun, unique dress and it’s also very comfortable so just a winner all around. It’s a loose, flowy fit that’s great for a big dinner or when you just want to look incredibly chic while staying comfy. It doesn’t look great if you’re moving around a bit - probably better suited for a cocktail party or dinner versus a night of dancing. Fabric was comfortable and breathable and fit was true to size. I did find it hard to style outside of tights + boots. I didn’t think it looked as good with bare legs so when I rent again it will be in fall/winter.

Not for Everybody
Nice things first - the colors on this dress are beautiful. The fabric is thick and stretchy and the cut is really sexy. That said, it clings on every lump and bump, it’s near impossible to wear a bra with, and it’s designed for taller figures. At 5’3” it came down to my ankles. It’s either stretched out or runs a full size large and the bust support was nonexistent. There are many women who would look amazing in this but I just felt kind of silly.

Cute but Weird Fit
The color of this jumpsuit is beautiful in person; great for spring and summer. It fit my long torso and I was able to sit and move around comfortably without any riding up. I’m more of a pear shape and typically range between a 6-8 on bottom; the S fit my bottom half but it was on the snug side. The top is huge and billowy - I wore a bodysuit underneath and secured the gap with fabric tape which helped. It wrinkled easily. Little to no stretch in the fabric. The zipper and two buttons give definition and some visual interest in the waist. If it weren’t for the color I would not have liked this very much. This was good for a night out with friends but I probably wouldn’t rent again.

New Favorite
This is such a gorgeous color in person. Runs a little big, especially in the sleeves which were very long on me. Buttons on the sleeves make it a little tricky to cuff but you can make it work. Didn't wrinkle as much as I expected - I put this in a checked bag and didn't need to steam or iron once I unpacked. Breathes well, good for all seasons. No pockets. I wore to a work conference and got tons of compliments.

Loved it so much I bought it
I'm obsessed with this coat! The color is amazing, obviously, but it's also warm while being very lightweight and soft as heck. Love the zippered pockets, double zipper in front, and removable hood. This was warm in ~20 degrees with a sweater underneath. Fit TTS (a little snug in the arms with a thick sweater) with a drawcord to cinch in the waist for shape or to keep the cold out. Very adjustable drawcord in the hood as well. Came to my mid-calf. Love this one, definitely rent it.

Cute but Huge
Loved the color and fabric but the length was too much on my 5'3" frame and the whole thing ran really big. Luckily the belt helped keep the skirt on and looking OK, but if I rented again I would go a full size down. The front zipper helped manage the length and I wore unzipped about halfway up from the hem to bring some shape back to my lower half.

Not for petites
I loved this dress but it didn't quite work with my body type. Fabric and color were really pretty - better than the photos - and it was very loose and comfortable. But the dress fell at an awkward length on me and was too big in the chest/shoulders. I tried taping up the hem and straps but couldn't make it work. Would rent in a heartbeat if they offered a petite version.

Gorgeous but Uncomfortable
First of all this is a STUNNING dress. The colors and pattern are so beautiful and make for a total compliment magnet. That said, I would not rent again because this dress was just too high maintenance for me. As other reviewers have said, the straps are very long and require taping short to fit. There is no stretch to the material and the sequins are itchy, especially around the legs where the dress is unlined. I'm all hips, no chest and usually wear either a 4 or 6 and found the small a bit too tight around the hips (mostly handled with a snug pair of Spanx) and a bit too loose in the chest (solved with a padded bra). Overall I think I looked great but I didn't *feel* great. Bottom line, if you can tolerate some mild discomfort in the name of looking absolutely fabulous - rent this dress. If you value comfort above all, you may want to pass.

Gorgeous but HOT
I loved this skirt and wore it more than I expected to. It hangs beautifully and is very flattering - runs snug throughout the hips and waist but it wouldn't have looked right if I sized up. Very little stretch to the fabric and the fabric is really hot/stuffy. It didn't breathe well at all which is the only reason I didn't buy this one.
