Chelsea Top

Dress isn’t white/ivory
I expected this dress to be oversized from the reviews, but I didn’t expect it to be a faint butter yellow color. The material is also like a subtle seersucker. None of this bothered me- just wanting others to know the dress isn’t white/ivory. I wore it with a camel sandal which looked nice with all the colors in the dress.

LOVED these pants!
Loved these pants! Looks more like a skirt since the legs are so full. I normally wear size 8 madewell jeans and the size 12 fit comfortably and draped nicely + was flattering at the waist. I wore a blouse with them for work and a band tee for an everyday/casual outfit. Would definitely rent again. Really unique design and look so cute when you walk. Very comfortable!

Cute but small neck opening to fit over your head
Really cute top but the neck opening is pretty small (no zipper). For sure put this top on *before* hair and makeup. I had to use a silk pillowcase to pull it over my head since I already had makeup on and I get dressed last. (A towel was too thick! Ha!). I also had to redo my pony tail ha.

Nice dress but arms a tad short
This dress was nice and fit well other than the arms were short on me. I do sometimes run into length issues with long sleeves being too short for my arms by an inch or two. Feeling the tug was only slightly annoying- still liked wearing it.

Brooke Border Smocked Dress

Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 36DD
Beautiful, flattering and comfortable
I probably could have worn a size down in this dress, but it still fit comfortably and looked nice- just felt a bit roomy in the sleeves and back for me. I’m always worried about fitting my bust so was happy it was a non-issue! Beautifully designed with nice details- you can’t tell from photos but the sleeves have a shirring detail. Also nice that the back is v-neck. Very flattering and nicely designed garment. I truly loved this dress! One of my fav rentals ever.

Heavy weight dress HUGE puff sleeve
This dress is a beautiful design- well made and flattering. I was surprised it buttoned over DD’s (I did use garment tape between buttons). The weight of the dress is heavy and the buttons also take a while to fasten due to the weight of the fabric. The sleeves are MASSIVE. I actually had to wear this with a roomy longline sweater to tamp down the sleeves. Largest puff sleeve *ever*. I wore this on a cold day so it worked. For sure a cold weather dress. Plan extra time getting dressed due to the stiff buttons (which I believe are necessary and appropriate to the weight of the fabric). Also the belt is attached- just FYI.

Lucinda Dress

Pretty work dress
This 14 fit like a 12, with the exception that the back was a little loose hanging for me. Everywhere else fit great. I'm 5'8" and this was short when I sat down. Wore with black tights and booties. Silk fabric felt nice but lining is polyester. Would not purchase this dress for the price knowing it wasn't all silk. Overall happy with wearing it.

Fun skirt!
Super fun and comfy skirt. Could have worn a large but the xl still worked. Perfect length for tall people (I'm 5'-8"). Could wear with flats or a low 2" heel and looked great both ways. A lot of fabric! Definitely a full skirt!

Comfy and cute
Wasn't expecting this dress to be the fabric that is was...it was a cotton like something you would get on a sarong or ethnic cloth. Can wrinkle easy but the dress is super cute and comfy! Really liked it. The fabric made it more weekend wear for me, but still enjoyed it. May be too casual for an office where you dress on the nicer/dressier side. Probably could have worn a 10. Still looked cute slightly oversized.

Indifferent
First off, this dress fit but size up. Even when I was pregnant I never wore a size 16! But a 16 fit well in this line (currently a 10/12). The upper back gaps so you can see the tag. And you can see bra straps through the arm openings so wear no bra, strapless or at least a nude bra. Fabric is cool- sturdy but flexible. Also my dress didn't have the strings hanging down the front. I liked the look of that in front and back and for whatever reason mine didn't have that detail in the front. Regretted wearing this dress to my event like 5 mins after putting it on. It worked out okay but would never get this again.

Comfy and flattering
Could have worn a L in this, but the XL fell nicely and was roomy. Got a lot of compliments wearing this dress! I'm 36DD-36DDD and this dress was roomy up top- even wore camisole under (probably wouldn't have been the case in a size down). Would get this dress again!

V. Comfy! Runs slightly large
Very comfy jeans! Runs slightly large, but mostly true to size (had a little room in the crotch/lower ab area). Could have worn 30's for sure, but wearing a 31 wasn't a problem. Was comfy to sit in these at my desk all day. Didn't notice sagging or stretching but zipper starting falling towards end of the day.

Laughably small
Fit was laughably small. It's always a risk to go with a romper when you're tall, but this was like, the worst/smallest romper I've ever tried on. Soooo short in the torso and also just tight in general. Fabric does not have give (but may stretch like linen does throughout the day). It looked like I squeezed myself into a juniors small. The photos show this to be somewhat relaxed so the fit was surprising. I actually laughed trying this on. Also, the straps have knots that push through a buttonhole...not sure how that would actually work when wearing all day. Would think sitting down in it may tug the straps free. NOT for tall girls. Probably not even for anyone with any type of curvy figure, either. I have a thin-curvy body type and it didn't work. Sent back immediately.

Cute shirt
Cute shirt. Well made. Back doesn't stay closed, sleeves were a bit short on me, but still worked (I'm tall and my arms are longer).

Sorta fits weird
Wearable, but sorta fits weird in places. I don't carry a lot of weight on my hips or butt and it fit strange there due to where the dropped seam was placed. Also, I'm really busty, but thin, which made the lining ride up on my bust yet the back was sorta baggy. Totally okay to wear once and w/ oversized blazer for work. Very comfy fabric. Also, I'm tall so this was short on me.

Lots of pulls in the textile
Adorable. Fit great (but was short on my 5'8", 36DDD frame); however, didn't wear it due to multiple pulls in the boucle and broken metallic threads. Sent it back.

Love the colors and hand of the fabric
I'm tall and this was a little on the short side for me- but will be so cute with fish nets or tights and my combat boots. Arms were a little tight towards the upper arm, but still in the size range for a size 10. My 36DDD cup size fit with no problems, though I could probably have taken a size 12 and had a little more space and potentially a little longer overall. This is not a dress where size matters a ton if you were to size up, but sizing down may absolutely make it unwearable in some cases since it's not stretchy. The hand of the fabric is nice...has a subtle texture to it, but it's soft. Cute dress!

Plaid Ruffle Shift Dress

Very comfy and soft
This is an oversized style sweater that is true to size. The yarns are multi colored which you notice more the closer you get to the piece. I'm tall and also DD cup size so this felt a bit short on me. Not the most flattering sweater for a thin torso with a large chest since it creates that tent effect- but any sweater this style would have that effect. Just something to think about if you're conscious of looking a tad heavier or slightly more top heavy. For anyone wanting to disguise a little extra in the mid section, this would be a great sweater for that. Will be wearing with high waisted pencil skirt or high rise denim. A regular rise would potentially show skin at the side vents and for sure show skin if I were to raise my arms. Very soft and comfortable. Love the multi color detailing.

This bag got compliments
Carried this as part of a cold weather look on a winter trip. Got lots of compliments. Wouldn't really ever buy this, but was fun + eye catching to carry briefly. Would rent this style again. Super roomy!

Cozy!
Very cozy coat with silky lining! Love the raw sienna color- will go with everything. Pretty true to size. Got this for a weekend trip with expected cold weather. Slightly bulky in arm area- but that's the nature of this type of coat. Could dress up or down!
