Fit like a glove
I rented this for the opera and it was perfect. Fit great, I didn't have to wear a bra, and the halter neck strap has two button holes so you can decide how tight/high you want it. I would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Way too large
I'm committed to the oversized look but even for me, this was way too big! It looked like I was a kid trying on my dads clothes.

Great fit!
Really nice! I wore this to work multiple times both with a white T-shirt underneath and just by itself. It's a thick canvas-ey fabric with a silky lining, and is a nice shape.

Feels classy and roomy
Love this purse! It has tons of room for all your random stuff, but isn't so big that you feel like you're lugging a suitcase around. Wouldn't fit a laptop though, so doesn't work for work. Nice grey color goes with everything, material feels high quality, and no issues with the zipper. I've been wearing it with the shoulder strap but you can also remove that and just use the handles (if you're into that sort of thing).

Unflattering but ok
The shape of this dress honestly doesn't do much for you...it's not fitted around the waist and the length hits a slightly unflattering part of the calf (at least on me, and I'm average height). I thought it was going to be super fun and summery because of the gorgeous color, but I was pretty let down. Will probably still try to wear it because of the cool back! Size down if you do rent this, because the bust is adjustable and the waist is large.
Florette Dress

Fit like a glove
Fits true to size, but no stretch. Perfect length (cropped so you can see a cute shoe) and the canvas-ey material is thick enough so you don't have to wear a bra. Definitely not very breathable so I wouldn't wear it in extreme heat, but I would wear it every day otherwise!
Striped Button Down Jumpsuit

Large but still great!
I wore this way more than I thought I would! The pattern is pretty and it's fully lined so no need to worry about it being see-through. This size was slightly large on me, but since there's a drawstring waist it was fine, and just looked a little more floaty. My office is freezing, and the colors in this dress went with basically every cardigan in my closet - a win! I would recommend sizing down.

Didn't end up wearing
I rented this as an option for a summer wedding, and didn't end up wearing it. In theory it's beautiful, but it runs large...the bust was flapping open and the length was dragging on the ground even with short wedges. The material also doesn't feel super luxe, although the pattern is pretty and the color is really flattering! I would probably have worn it in a smaller size.
Meadow Maxi

Obsessed
I should have bought this! The color is perfect for spring, the back is slightly low with a great button detail, and it fits true to size. I didn't wear a bra but you couldn't tell because the linen material is thick and slightly structured. I want to rent/buy in different colors now!!
Preta Button Back Tank

Just ok
It looks and fits great, but the inside feels scratchy on your legs. I wore it to work, and by the end of the day I was ready to take it off. Maybe better as a winter rental when you can wear tights and boots? The colors and pattern are really pretty though, and go with basically any color top!

Loved it so much I bought it!
Wore this to an outdoor summer wedding. I don't know if I've ever felt so comfortable in a formal setting...the top felt super secure, it has pockets, and the midi length felt formal but not overdressed. I wore sticky bra cups because the lining is thin and the back is too low to wear a regular bra. I bought it for all the summer wedding invites in my future!
Floral Marissa Dress

Feels expensive
Wore this dress for my wintertime birthday dinner and felt amazing. Perfect length, true to size. The color is both blue and black so it goes well with black tights and boots, but is something a little different than an LBD. The material is thick and slightly structured. I also wore it to work!

So soft
Soft inside and out - would love to rent this again. Great for a day when you want to wear sweats but also look a little fancy

Something special for work
Bright white, great fit (although runs slightly large, I could have sized down). A bit long so looks good with slim pants.

Surprisingly amazing
I wasn't sure what to expect with these pants, and was surprisingly obsessed with them. The material is slightly heavy but feels high quality, and I got multiple compliments on the ankle buttons! I wore them with a black tank and heels for a formal dinner, and felt amazing. FYI they're truly high waisted, and the waist fits tight.

Pretty color
Loved this purse! Color is pretty, it fits everything and more, strap is the perfect length. Only downside is that the top is open except for a button (keep an eye on it in crowds etc)

No stretch - but so many compliments!
Loved this dress. Other reviews are right - the dress has absolutely no stretch so size up if you're not sure (because you can tie the waist tighter if you need to). Great midi length - I'm 5'5 and it hit mid-calf. So many compliments!

Holiday party success
Rented this for my work formal holiday party. The pattern and the style is gorgeous - it's actually black and navy so it looks great with black shoes/accessories. It was a little long on me, but not terrible. Doesn't have any stretch though - the 2 wasn't super form-fitting when I was standing, but when I sat down I certainly wouldn't have wanted it any smaller.

Wish I could buy it
This purse is gorgeous. Great color, very soft. Perfectly fits everything you need, even a book. Has a zipper pocket to keep things extra secure while you're traveling. I wore it every day for a week!

Dress it up or down!
Love this skirt - runs a little large and was admittedly a little long on me, but I wore it anyways. It has two secret slits on the sides for extra movement. The elastic at the waist is small so it looks good with a shirt tucked in or out. Pattern is pretty too!
Gardenia Floral Pleated Skirt

I just felt stunning...but also relaxed.
The downside...I was having too much fun in this dress to pause for photos!! The upside...this dress was stunning. My first choice dress was unavailable, so this was actually my backup. Since the dress doesn't have much (any?) stretch, I was a little worried at first that it would be loose in the bust and tight on the hips (I'm a small-chested lady) but it was PERFECT. Skimmed over all my curves, but still comfy enough to sit down to dinner and dance all night. I didn't wear a bra or shapewear (just petals, since the fabric is a little thin) and I think the dress looked smooth and well-fitting just like that. I wasn't sure from the picture if the dress would look too conservative (no slit, high neck, etc.) but honestly the shoulder-baring cut, gorgeous red colour, and some big gold earrings made it classy yet sexy. I would definitely rent this again, if just for the compliments :)
