Cute.
Overall this sweater is great but the sleeves are really really long.

So huge!
This shirt is gigantic, I could have order two sizes smaller and still had plenty of room. Fabric is ok.

Runs small.
Runs small and there is no give in the fabric. The knitted sleeves don't untie, they are stitched in place so you can't wear this under something else without making it look like you have giant wrist lumps under your sweater/blazer. Not a good choice in the winter at all. The fabric and color are nice at least.

Cute but not perfect.
I didn't wear this for the event but I did seriously consider it. It's a little boring and much heavier than I would have expected. The asymmetrical hem is nice and the color is beautiful, true to color in the photo. But I felt a little... matronly/too formal in it? Maybe if it was sleeveless it would feel different. The fabric has some stretch and is actually very flattering if you are more heavy bottomed, it hugs but doesn't overemphasize your fat LOL. I ended up with something a bit more fun and unique but I would consider renting this for something else.

Love this necklace!!
I wore it with the Finders Keepers White Structured Top and it really popped on the white. I plan on wearing it with another outfit as well, it goes incredibly well with anything formal or semi-formal. Seriously considering buying this because it's a very unique, versatile piece.

Cute and unique
Wore an XL but usually I wear a L, fits true to size but the back pleats didn't quite lay flat, maybe ironing would have helped. Definitely needs to be worn without a bra. I would definitely rent this again.

FINDERS KEEPERS
Size Worn: XL

Not a fan.
Too blingy for everyday wear. The continuous chain is annoying and top set of gemstones slides around all the time which changes the look of the necklace and you have to adjust it all the time.

Not at all as expected.
The picture shows this as a bright white shirt and in reality it's a aged yellow that makes it look like it's been sitting in an attic for 30 years. I actually thought it was stained. As for the fit, it is not flattering if you are broad shouldered and the front tapers down so much the bottom of the shirt doesn't lay flat, it pulls out around the buttons as if it was too small but somehow fits fine everywhere else? Too ugly to wear! Went right back in the bag.

Cute top for anytime, the print is nice and still "adult" feeling even though it is insects!

Just a bag.
Very stiff material and much smaller than I expected, but in all fairness I didn't read the size description! It has a crossbody strap which is nice, otherwise you have to carry it by hand. The color is nice but too small for me to use for everyday.

Not my style but pleasantly surprised.
I took a gamble on this one because I hate the puffy shirt look but the draping on this was very flattering and not over the top. I absolutely loved the print. Great for work.

Beautiful and fun.
Love the color, it's as vibrant as the picture with a great floral print. I didn't realize the back wasn't fully finished, there are cutouts and fake bows in back but it's easy to throw on a jacket or cardigan without having anything bulging out. Definitely going to keep an eye on this to go on sale one day.

Classy and fun.
I didn't end up wearing this but I did really like it. It does run just a smidge small in the waist. It was looking dicey getting the zipper up (which was hard even on the hanger) and I definitely needed help with it, the silk is very delicate and I didn't want damage the dress. It's a great print and I loved the stripes on the halter top. I'm 5'6 and with flats it kind of had a train so just be cautious stepping on it. I'm large busted and didn't feel the need to wear a bra but pasties would be necessary.

Amazing, classy, fun!
I fell in love with this dress as soon as I tried it on and ended up buying it. It's not a true wrap dress, there is an "apron" piece over it that ties on the side so you get the best of both worlds with a regular dress and a wrap style. The pattern is gorgeous and the sleeves aren't too ruffly or in the way. It's really easy to dress up or down, I could definitely wear this to work also with a blazer or cardigan.

Different take on motorcycle jacket
I didn't end up wearing this because it arrived too late for the event I meant to wear it for, but I did try it on and it was very, very tight in the bust once it was zipped up. It fit everywhere else just fine so I'm hesitant to say that it "runs small", maybe just size up if you have a large bust and you plan on wearing it zipped the entire time you have it on. Unzipped it looks and fits fine. I really liked the lace and the cross-zip.

Cute, slighty cropped.
This is a fun, cute sweater. The material is very soft and runs true to size. It hit right at the top of my hips so it was a little shorter than expected.

Loved this for work, wore it with a black cardigan. Felt a little dressy for my workplace but I would still rent it again for work or a special event.

Surprisingly awesome!
I had doubts when I pulled this out of its bag, but these pants were great! The color is a bit more faded in real life, somewhere in between a dusty pink and pale red. Fit true to size, didn't stretch out much during the day like others said. The fabric was thinner than I expected. Only downside is that one of the belt loops was torn away from the pants, otherwise I would have considered purchasing. Great work pant that pairs with many other colors.

Not a winner, unfortunately.
The embroidery on this is absolute perfection. It looks just as beautiful as it does in the picture. Since it's a designer label, size up or get a back up size. However, if you have hips I would not recommend this dress unless you want them to look huge. I ultimately didn't end up wearing this dress because it was not flattering at all.

Classy and fun!
Wore this for Valentine's dinner at a fancy restaurant and everything about this dress was perfect! The lace detailing was gorgeous, it was the perfect shade of red (I don't tend to like red), and it had pockets... extra bonus!! I didn't realize the back was sheer but that was fine. I did end up wearing it with a black cardigan because the temperature dropped so much. I ordered the largest size they had because designer brands are usually cut smaller and I knew my usual 10/12 size wouldn't work. This was perfect, just a little large in the bust area but it was not that noticeable. Super comfortable, I would absolutely rent this again!

Great for work.
This was a nice top but it was hard to wear with something over it. The sleeves bunched up whether I was wearing a jacket or a sweater (it's cold out so something else had to go over it!). Other than that it ran very true to size and was a nice fabric.

This is the cutest shirt ever, great for work, play, anything! I wish I could keep it but I can't justify that price. The fabric is silk and it hangs perfectly. Absolutely love this and would rent again and again.

A little bling...
Very dressy necklace, I actually had a hard time finding something to wear it with. It's a little more bling-y than I the picture depicts, I thought it was matte. Would be good for something more formal but not great for everyday. Heavy, but gorgeous!

Cute top, runs REALLY big
Very cute top but runs super big. I'm normally a M or L in tops depending on how fitted it is, but I should have definitely done a M. Fabric has a lot of stretch and is very drapey. Cute print and I like the longer short sleeves.

Gorgeous top with very nice detailing. Hangs just right, I got this in Large and it fit perfectly. Definitely needs a tank underneath though, black or even nude would be perfect. Very nice quality. I paired it with a necklace from RTR. I would definitely rent this again.

Cute print, hippie style
Very cute print, quality of fabric is decent. The bows on the arms come undone very easily. Because this shirt has more a poofy, hippie feel, I ended up wearing it with a black blazer and stuffing the bow strings up the sleeves. The top neck button is very tight, looks much better unbuttoned. I doubt I would rent this again because its not really my style (but I tried something new!) and the bows have to keep being retied.
