Pajamas! :(
The picture with the model looked so promising, but between the fabric (orange with little white dots vs. coral) and the fit, I seriously felt like I was wearing frumpy pajamas. The cut did nothing for my figure especially in the midsection, and I am not at all self-conscious about my tummy area. I did not end up wearing it.

Liked it so much more than I expected
I wasn't 100% sure that I would like it, but it's my favorite rental in recent memory. It's super comfortable, the print is very pretty, it's versatile, and I got lots of compliments. No downsides at all. I would totally rent it again!

Beautiful but extremely short
I'm between S and XS, and this romper in S is comfortably loose. However, it is extremely short. My toddler told me "mommy, I can see your butt" and he was right. I think it's because the shorts are not only short but also loose, so literally any movement reveals a lot more flesh than I am comfortable with. I consider my bum to be medium-sized (I'm 5'5" and 120 pounds); if you are fortunate enough to be blessed with a more voluptuous derrière, I would definitely not recommend this romper.

Supercharged pop of color
I loved the bright pink of this dress! The only reason I took off a star is that the dress wasn't super-flattering in the midsection, and I usually like showing off my waist. Something about the ruching made it bunch up; even when I pulled down the dress, I felt like it did the opposite of sucking me in. I was okay with that, hence 4 stars.

I loved that I could wear it on or off the shoulders. It traveled well, and was super comfortable and flattering. I would definitely rent it again.

Runs large in the chest
I am usually between XS and S, and I found the S to be unwearably large in the chest. Even though there's a clasp at the bottom of the V, it was too low for me to wear comfortably. I'm not sure I'd rent again in XS, though.

Runs very large, looks a bit like a nightgown
The chest area fit two sizes larger than expected, while the body fit one size larger. Combined with the fit issues, the fabric had an unexpected sheen that unfortunately made the dress look like a cheap nightgown.

Comfortable, striking and different
I wore this dress for a photoshoot and loved it. I would definitely rent it again, although maybe in XSR (which wasn’t available this time around).

Beautiful color, extremely high slit when sitting
I am not a shy gal, and I picked this dress because I wanted to make a statement. The color and design did not disappoint. However, I docked 2 stars because the slit was so high when I sat down that it was only 2 inches below my hip. I felt very self-conscious the whole time I was sitting for dinner. If you do not intend to sit while wearing this dress, then this issue with the slit will not be a problem.

Cute, but know that there are 2 layers of fabric
It was surprisingly hot for a loose sleeveless dress because of the inner layer on the bottom (skirt). I'd rent again, but for cooler weather.

Surprisingly flattering
I wasn't 100% sold on the mix of fabrics when I rented it, but it surprisingly flattering. Light rain was in the forecast on the day that I wore it, and it was the perfect outfit for a spring day when matched with Hunter rain boots.

Better for the office than vacation
The fabric is a nice knit, but it was hotter than I expected for a vacation to SoCal. I'd rent again, but for the office instead of vacay.

I took off one star because the fabric has a sheen that I didn’t see in the photo and didn’t care for. Otherwise, it was a sweet and pretty dress.

Solid rental but not my favorite
It was okay, but not my fave. I also found out I had to avoid anything with a hint of lace underneath because the combination looked like bedroom attire.

Not memorable
The color and cut of this jacket are so wonderfully unusual, and I wanted to love it. But the proportions were a bit off on me (somehow the peplum looked awkward) so I’m bummed it didn’t look more like how I imagined.

Felt so pretty and elegant
I liked this dress very much: it was sophisticated and girly at the same time. I was a bit surprised that the fabric didn't stretch more, so I'd size up if you're in between sizes.

Loved everything about it
I loved everything about this coat: the pattern, the colors, the cut, the buttons, the length. My husband said "wow, that's beautiful" in a way that's usually reserved for only evening gowns. I'd buy it if I lived somewhere with longer winters!

Photographs really well
I admit that I was a bit disappointed when I first tried on the dress: in person, the fabric looked like nothing special, and the front slit opened up really wide when I sat down. However, I got compliments from both my husband and total strangers when I wore it on vacation, and I absolutely loved how the dress looked in pictures. So I'd rate it a 5 from the non-wearer's perspective!

Breezy colorful pop
I can understand why some reviewers thought that the silhouette wasn't the most flattering, but I loved how easy this dress was to wear. Of the 5 dresses I rented for vacation, this one was the most versatile and photographed the best. Just cinch the waist a bit tighter when you tie it, and you'll have a colorful and comfortable look for your next trip! Bonus: great for wearing to meals because you won't have to worry about sucking in your tummy.

Elegant and mostly comfortable
Very elegant. The ruffle across the shoulder, as other reviewers mentioned, was not at all elastic and was therefore not super comfortable. However, it wasn't a deal-breaker and everything else was very comfy (waist, hips, legs).

Beautiful sleeves
Really interesting detail on the sleeves. I took off one star because the fabric of the sleeves kept dipping in everything, and I couldn't get it to stay tied up. A non-issue if you're not going to be getting food at a buffet or leaning over the dinner table to get salt for someone or otherwise moving your arms around anything wet.
