Another must have for the winter collection.
This jacket is the best. Super chic, fitted, buttons actually have holes they go into that aren't just for show. Material is heavier for the cold and the pattern is lovely. Loved everything about it. 10/10

Cute and confusing.
I didn't end up wearing this one. It's a bodycon dress, suuuuper thin material (better have your undergarments ready), and when I struck a hands on the hip pose, the husband likened me to Batman. Maybe a bigger size would have worked but overall, this one was an oddball.

Awesome and floral without the blue hair.
This dress fit so great on my frame. It is slightly stretchy and was perfect for the colder months without being too heavy. Love the pattern and the floral doesn't mimic grandma's curtains. This one's staying on the Hearts list.

Cute dress that will work for the average body.
Very cute color and style but did not work for my 5'10", slightly longer torso'd frame. The material is stretchy and on the thinner side which caused a problem with the zipper being able to lay flat at the base. Duck tails aren't my style so unfortunately, this piece stayed home.

21st century pilgrim.
In my opinion, part of the fun of renting clothes is to try things you wouldn't normally purchase. This dress is the literal representation of that idea. I told my husband it felt like a designer let their kid make a dress from wherever their imagination took them and with whatever leftovers they could find. The collar feels like it's made out of an old pillowcase (complete with grandma's lace), the sheath is a velvet-ish, shiny black fabric, and to take away any puritan thoughts that might come to mind from the high neck bow, a thigh-high slit was cut into the bottom. Sunday best on top, Friday night on the bottom. I wore this with heeled, over the ankle, combat boots and went about my 'The Craft'-extra day. I wasn't mad about it.

Dijon vibes.
I loved this jacket and received quite a few compliments when wearing it out and about. The amount of details present in the coat makes it a real head-turner: the buttons' borders are red, the lining is a red checker plaid, the double pocket accents with the large collar. The piece did run -slightly- larger fit wise but I wouldn't say large enough to look unflattering for my height and frame.

Not for tall people.
This dress has a beautiful, gray luster to the fabric. It is very heavy which makes it perfect for the holidays. I was unable to wear the piece, however, as it did not flatter my longer torso and smaller chest. I also felt the material was unflattering for my thinner frame; the whole thing came across 'bulky.'

Prepare yourself for the shoulder pads.
This dress is very pretty and is a fitted dress. I would say it does fit true to size with the exception if you're like me and have slightly broader shoulders; because my shoulders went wider than the shoulder pads, I could not wear it.

12/10.
I would buy this dress, it's absolutely stunning. I normally wear 8s but followed size suggestions and went with the 12R. It fit like a glove. The dress is, overall, slightly heavy with the lace being much stronger and less delicate than what might be found on other dresses. I wore this with a stick-on bra as the bottom part of my regular bra could be seen when moving. While I wore this to work, it might better be suited to a semi-formal event or cocktail-night out (would still wear it to work again, nothing wrong with a bit of fancy!).

Showstopper.
I'm absolutely in love with this dress and will likely be renting it again. It is so flattering and the color is gorgeous. Sit perfect in the waist and came halfway up the leg which let me pair it with over the knee boots. Sleeves came down to my wrists and the whole piece was just 10/10.

Very warm statement coat.
This coat runs tighter in the fit but not so tight that you would want to order a full size down. That being said, if you're outfit has any bulk to it, you'll likely -want- to order a size up as this is absolutely a fitted jacket. The cut is flattering and the wool is very thick which made this piece great for the winter. Color is true to photo.

'Dressier' in person.
Fabric is slightly heavy which was nice for the colder weather. Disliked the cap sleeves as they were a little large. Dress fit my frame very well and I loved the low back. I will say the style and color might flatter an older person, however.

Elegant and Shimmery
I weigh in at about 135-140lbs and fit into most size 4s. The 6L fit like a glove, for better or worse. Dress is tight and slightly see through so wear skin-colored undergarments. It was a very pretty dress though, and at my height, hovered about 1/2" from the ground. No heels for this one. Overall, I'd give it a 4/5. Given the square cut of the top and the tight fit, I couldn't raise my arms higher than what you see in the picture.
