Day to evening, this dress does it all!
One of my favorite dresses I've rented so far! The cool neckline makes it a slightly more interesting take on the little black dress. The fabric is thick enough to be forgiving and just the right length to keep it office appropriate. I switched out a regular bra for a push up when I wore it at night (along with adding some glitzy accessories) and it was perfect! Only complain is that the big, industrial zipper in the back kept getting caught in my hair-- ouch!

Pretty, but not quite what I expected
I actually ended up not wearing the dress due to a rip, but I might not have worn it even if it wasn't damaged. I found that the different panels of fabric didn't quite lie flat when I had it on. I also didn't love how some of the seams looked lumpy underneath. Not my favorite.

Beautiful, easy to wear spring dress!
Loved this dress so much! Super comfortable with straps that are lined with elastic (so no uncomfortable fidgeting all night). Colors were vibrant and eye catching. Fabric is delightfully light, perfect for a balmy Florida evening.

Suuuuuch a beautiful dress-- Sorry I couldn't wear it.
Dress is gorgeous in person. The color is vibrant, the fabric is lovely, but I couldn't wear it due to the straps being too long. The fit at the waist was true to size, so I have a feeling the 2 would be too small. If I owned it, all it would require is a quick trip to the tailor and it would be perfect. As it is, the straps don't stay up at all and due to the plunging neckline, I couldn't wear a push up bra that was padded enough to fill out the top (and hopefully help the straps fit better).

Beautiful but overwhelming
Wanted to live this skirt. Material is beautiful and feels expensive. Unfortunately, it was just too voluminous and too long for my frame. Ended up looking surprisingly frumpy no matter how I styled it. True to size, just not great on me.

Gorgeous material-- weird fit
Couldn't wait to wear this dress as soon as it arrived. The fabric is stunning and the colors are beautiful. Unfortunately, either the straps were too long, or I just wasn't busty enough for it to fit properly. Even with double stick tape to hold the top in place, the straps kept slipping off my arms. An easy fix for a tailor, but nothing I could do at home to make it work. May try it a size smaller eventually.

Elegant winter floral dress-- SO many compliments!
I wore this dress to attend a matinee performance of an opera, followed by dinner at a 3 Michelin starred restaurant. It transitioned perfectly from day to evening and I received compliments on it from men and women all day. Loved it so much I wore it again for a photoshoot before returning it. It's definitely a little long, but I wore 120 mm heels with it and it looked great. Beautifully made, though there were a few loose threads I had to snip before I went out. Fits true to size, but I did find that the sheer material at the top tended to wrinkle/bunch on me if I didn't remember to tug it straight. May not be an issue for women with larger breasts to hold it in place. Will definitely rent again!

Probably would have been great a size smaller...
I was really excited to wear this dress, but found that the small was just a little too big for the dress to fit properly on me. It didn't have the sexy, tight look that I was hoping for. Otherwise it felt very well made and the ribbon/sash detailing around the middle is a pretty, subtle touch. Will try it again in an XS.

Too big, too complicated...
I actually ended up not wearing this jumpsuit for a couple of reasons: 1. The top was actually too long for my torso and sagged forward in a really unflattering way. I'd have to take about an inch off of each of the shoulder straps in order for it to fit me properly. As it is, I looked a little like I was playing dress up in someone else's clothes. Also, the tie detailing at the back was a huge pain to figure out. Apparently whoever wore it last had tied it differently than is shown on the model. It took me a solid 20 minutes to figure out how to fix it and wear it as it's shown. Looks stunning on some of the other reviewers, but it just didn't work for me.

Cute and comfy, but a little too prone to accidents...
This romper was adorable! Summery, comfortable, and light (without being see-through!). But, as others have mentioned, the flimsy button to keep the top closed pops open with even the slightest pull. I had completely forgotten to safety pin it closed before I went out, and found myself constantly checking it and re-snapping it every time I used my arms to hug anyone or lift anything up. Was a little large in the bust for me, so I can only imagine how much less effective the button would be on a woman with a larger chest. Other than that, it was perfect for wandering around the city on a hot day. Will be renting this one again before summer's out, for sure.

Perfect jacket!
I rented this jacket to bring with me on a trip to New York earlier this spring and it was the smartest thing I brought with me. It was warm without being too heavy, it fit true to size with enough room for me to move my arms around comfortably, it held up to heavy rain and dried like new, and worked with almost every outfit I wore. I'll be renting it again for sure!!

Not as pretty in person as in the photo...
The first thing I noticed about this dress was the color. Instead of the springy yellow-green color shown in the photos, it was a darker, greener, and kind of a sallow color. Hard to explain, but it was definitely not as pretty as the color as it's shown on the model. Other than that, it was fine. A little tighter than I had expected, but would have been wearable except for that icky color lol.

Perfect showstopper for my birthday dinner!
I was a little nervous about renting this dress without having anyone's reviews to check out first. But I am SO glad I did! It fit like a glove, was really comfortable, and got tons of compliments all night. The plunging neckline just needed a couple of strips of tape and it stayed put the whole evening. My only tiny complaint is that it wrinkled fairly easily. By the time we arrived at our destination after a 40 minute car ride, I definitely looked a little more rumpled than I would have liked. But even so, I felt beautiful and will absolutely be renting this one again.

Sexy AND comfortable!
I love these leggings. They're "leather" in the front and soft in the back, which makes them incredibly comfortable. Like the sexiest yoga pants you can imagine lol. I'll definitely be renting them again before long.

Perfect dress for so many occasions!
I held onto this dress for a really long time, actually. It's super comfortable and easy to wear because you don't have to worry about it riding up, or straps that don't stay put, or a neckline that reveals more than you'd like it to. You literally throw it on and forget how stunning you look because it doesn't feel like your average cocktail dress. I wore it to a party, dinner, and a work event before I returned it. It isn't quite as shiny as it looks in the picture, which makes it easy to dress down a bit for more casual occasions. Love it and would buy it in a heartbeat!

Eye catching and comfortable!
Loved, loved, loved these earrings! They aren't as heavy as they look, and have far more sparkle. Wore them with jeans, a cocktail dress, and a gown before I returned them.

Perfect "just throw it on" kind of necklace
Long without being too long and easy to dress up or down, this is the perfect necklace for countless outfits. Wish I didn't have to return it at all! Wore it at least 4 or 5 times before I sent it back.

Beautiful dress... for tall women!
Rented this as a part of my Unlimited subscription and, while it was just gorgeous, I couldn't actually wear it anywhere. The material is a little stiffer than I expected (making the skirt a little more voluminous than I expected) and on my 5'3 frame it just completely overwhelmed me. I looked like a pile of paper towels lol. The quality of the dress is fantastic though, and I can imagine it being stunning on the right body type.

Perfect comfortable, glamorous dress!
I rented this dress for a photoshoot and it was exactly what I was hoping for! It was the perfect length (I wore about 4" heels), snug but not tight, and surprisingly comfortable with just enough give in the material. The only reason I only gave it 4/5 stars is because of how scratched up the sequins left my upper arms by the end of the shoot. But on the whole, a fantastic dress!
