Great Rental
This dress was even better than I anticipated. Mad I forgot to get a solo pic in it! The color was perfect for spring, and the fabric had just a bit of stretch while still feeling lightweight and breathable. The structured silhouette was flattering but forgiving, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. Overall, it was an easy, polished dress that I'd definitely rent again.

Cute
This was a fun take on a classic polo dress. The fit was great—slightly fitted through the bodice with a flattering flared skirt. The fabric had enough structure to hold its shape while still being comfortable to wear. I also appreciated that the length wasn't too short, making it easy to wear for work or a casual outing.

Silk Dress
I wanted to like this dress more than I did. The silk fabric is beautiful, soft, and even has a bit of stretch, but it's extremely clingy and really shows every curve. I just didn't find it to be the most flattering on my body. It was also full length on me, hitting the floor. The print is cute and the quality is lovely, but overall I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Great Rental
I loved this dress and ended up wearing it much more than I expected. The print is absolutely stunning, with beautiful detail that looks even better in person. The functional buttons on the bodice, tie waist, and pockets all add thoughtful touches and make it easy to wear. My only complaint was the sleeves—they had a bit of an unusual shape and were slightly itchy. Other than that, this was a fantastic rental that I reached for again and again.

Fabulous
I loved this dress and ended up wearing it for Easter. The blue floral print is even more beautiful in person, and the fabric has just the right amount of stretch to make it comfortable all day. The buttons and seaming at the waist create a really flattering silhouette. I folded the collar down because I thought it looked a little awkward buttoned all the way up, and I preferred the more open neckline. Fair warning—the fabric wrinkles easily, and even after trying to press it, it was more challenging than I expected. (This photo was taken before I attempted to iron it.) Overall, it was one of my favorite rentals.

Just OK
This dress was nice, but nothing particularly special. The double belt detail was cute and gave it a little extra shape, although it made the rib cage feel slightly restrictive. The neckline wasn't too low, and the midi length was great for work. My biggest issue was the sleeves—they were cut in a way that really limited my range of motion, which made it a bit uncomfortable to wear throughout the day. Overall, it's a decent dress, but not one I'd rent again.

So beautiful
This dress was lovely! The lightweight silk fabric made it feel much dressier than I originally expected. Mine arrived NWT and had a relaxed, loose fit overall. I found the sleeves to be slightly snug, but not enough to be uncomfortable. The sewn-in belt helps define the waist and creates a flattering silhouette. The side slit adds a little something extra, and I appreciated the functional buttons all the way down the front. And, of course, pockets are always a bonus!

Cute but not Me
ed Baker really knows how to do structured dresses, and this one is no exception. Even the sleeves have beautiful detailing that elevates the overall look. The full skirt gives it a classic silhouette, and I added a belt to define the waist a bit more. It was slightly fitted through the rib cage but comfortable overall. This isn't a style I typically gravitate toward, but I was pleasantly surprised. It also wasn't too short at all, which I appreciated.

This is okay
This dress was just fine. I wore it to work a few times, and while the fabric was a little stiff, it still had enough stretch to be comfortable. The tie waist helped give it some shape, which made it more flattering. It hit at a true midi length on me, and as always, pockets are a huge bonus. Overall, it's an easy, practical dress for everyday wear.

Polo Maxi
Exactly what it sounds like—a polo dress! It was slightly snug through the hips at first, but I received it NWT, and after wearing it for a few minutes the fabric relaxed and fit much better. Overall, it has a flattering fit without being too clingy, making it an easy choice for a variety of occasions. Short girls, beware—it was definitely floor length on me. The side slits add a little something extra and keep it from feeling too plain. I ended up keeping it for several rental periods because it was such an easy throw-on piece that still looked polished.

Excellent Summer Dress
This dress is incredibly breathable and feels like a linen blend, making it perfect for summer. The fit is very forgiving and intentionally loose, so I'd say it runs a little large. It was more of a maxi length on me, which I loved. As always, I'm a sucker for a dress with pockets! I seriously contemplated purchasing this one and ended up keeping it for several rental periods because I loved it so much.

Ms. Frizzle Upgrade
Think Ms. Frizzle—but make it chic. This dress definitely gives elevated elementary school teacher vibes, and since I work at a school, it felt perfectly on brand. I received so many compliments, and the patchwork detailing is absolutely beautiful. The fabric has no stretch, and I found it a little tricky to get on without messing up my hair. Once it was on, though, the fit was great overall. The sleeves were slightly snug, but nothing uncomfortable. Overall, this was a fantastic rental and one I'd definitely recommend.

Great Color
I really wanted to love this dress, but the fit just didn't work for me. The chest area was extremely baggy, and I think the size 0 would have fit much better, but it wasn't available. I ended up wearing it anyway to get some use out of it, but it wasn't the most flattering fit overall. I do love that it has pockets! Depending on your bra, you may also need a racerback or strapless style, as the straps can make it peek through.

So lightweight!
This dress has a lot of fabric, so I was worried it would be too hot for a Miami summer, but it was surprisingly lightweight and breathable. The collar would definitely look better with a quick press, but I didn't have time before wearing it. The buttons on the bodice are functional, though my belt came sewn in, which was a little annoying. It's full length on me and incredibly easy to wear—you can dress it up or keep it casual.

Everyday Dress
The fabric is incredibly lightweight and breathable, with a perfectly lived-in denim look. The neckline is a bit lower than I expected, but the hidden hook-and-eye closure provides a little extra coverage if needed. It runs true to size, with a slightly fitted bodice through the ribs and a flowy fit everywhere else. And of course, I love that it has pockets!

Not for me
This dress was much more form-fitting than I expected and left me a bit unsure about when or where to wear it. It felt too short for work, yet a little too business-like for more casual occasions. I ultimately didn’t end up wearing it, but that was simply because the style wasn’t the right fit for me.

Stunning Embroidery
I received so many compliments on this dress and found myself looking for excuses to re-wear it during the rental period. I love that you can wear a regular bra with it, and the deep pockets are always a win. The fabric was a bit heavier than I expected, so it did get a little warm when I was outside in the Miami heat, but I would absolutely rent it again. It has a zipper in the back (which I didn’t even end up needing), and the overall fit is very loose and comfortable.

Stunning
I didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did, but the fit ended up being absolutely perfect. It’s fitted through the top and slightly clingy through the skirt, which makes it really flattering. Only the top few buttons are functional, and the fabric is on the heavier side, which actually makes it great for cold offices. I’ll definitely be renting this one again.

Love the Flutter Sleeve
I ended up wearing this several times — to church, to work, and even running errands with sneakers. The material is very breathable, and the tie waist gives it a more fitted look. It is not low cut and overall has a loose fit. The skirt is roomy and it has deep pockets, which was a great bonus.

A lot of Dress
I wore this several times and overall really liked it, but just a heads up — it’s a lot of dress. The sleeves are very billowy and the skirt is extremely full, so it definitely makes a statement. All of the buttons are functional, and the cinching at the waist gives it a subtle corset-style vibe that’s flattering. The fabric has beautiful, eye-catching detail, and the pockets are a huge bonus. Because of that (and how unique it feels), I’d absolutely rent it again.

Great Set!
I'm a sucker for a matching short set and this didn't disappoint! The shirt has a boxy, loose fit and even threw on with jeans one day to get more wear out of when the weather was cooler. Perfect thrown-on outfit for running errands or chasing kids but still looks put together.

I received way more compliments on this than I was anticipating. It was a great dress to throw on for work or even running a few errands with sneakers. It has deep pockets which I appreciate and the sinched waist gives it a nice fit and flair. The dress is also double lined which was good for slightly cooler weather.

Great Structure - A bit boring
I love the structure of a Ted Baker dress and this one didn't disappoint. It was extremely long on me though, and had to pick up to go up the stairs without tripping. Even though it was a linen blend, it was also lined, make it slightly warmer than I was anticipating. Pockets always a bonus, but overall just okay.

I rent the Lennox Dress regularly as it is just a great everyday dress - the fix is very loose and forgiving and usually not too low cut. The sleeves are blousy and it even has pockets. A great throw on for any occasion.

Slightly Tight Waist band
I thought I would get more use out of this set and ended up just wearing it for a boat day as the shorts are pretty short and I found the waist band to be slightly too tight. They are cotton and with the cut outs, it also made it slightly uncomfortable for sitting.

Straps a little weird.
This was overall a great rental for the Miami winter. It has great adjustable straps (but for me they were either too long or too tight), deep pockets, and a lightweight fabric. It was slightly tight across the chest for me and if I was perkier, could have gone without a bra. Short girls be warned that this will drag with flats. It also had this weird seam across the breast that didn’t make sense to me. But all in all, would rent again.

I’ve rented this several times because it’s so easy to wear for almost any occasion. The cinched top gives it a slightly more fitted look, and the puffy sleeves add a nice feminine touch. I love the deep pockets and that I never feel too hot wearing it in the Miami heat.

Lightweight Winter
This was great for Miami winter. The fabric is lightweight and the bodice fitted. The fabric was a bit much for me and I felt it made me look larger than I wanted. I'm usually in between a 0 and 2 and found the fit in the 2 to be perfect.

Miami Fall
I have a hard time finding fall sundresses that work for the Miami autumn but this one was a winner and kept through several rental periods. I wrapped the belt through the back first and then through the front as it was a little loose throughout and this helped to cinch the waist. The eyelet detail keeps it breezy and was easy to wear for long periods. Only wish it had pockets.

Another HHH win
I wore this so much that ended up buying during a Black Friday deal. I can't say enough good things about the hill house Ellie. I think it is flattering on most body types and it is what I find myself wearing when I want to feel really good and girlie. I added the blazer to dress up for dinner but these are great because you can dress down with sneakers to run errands. The bust has elasticated smocking - making it good for all sizes (and nursing). It also has great ruffled shoulders, and a tiered midi skirt. The fabric is breathable and never feels too warm. Now that they added pockets, I want in all the colors.

Cute and easy
these are nothing special but the scalloped detail is nice. Very loose and oversized fit and definitely wouldn't wear on their own without the matching shirt. Great for running around with kids and didn't feel like my booty would pop out. I am always looking for matching sets that can be worn in the winter months and this fit the bill. Would size down if I rent again as they were very loose all around.

Beautiful structure
I should have read the reviews closer as this was a bit snug in the chest and the buttons definitely pulled, however, the fit was perfect everywhere else, so I think the next size would have been too big. This was a great transition to fall piece for Miami as it is still lightweight as we don't actually get fall weather. The skirt is very full and the seersucker is a pain to get straight - I didn't even try with the belt. Wore it for over 12 hours on a long day and it was comfortable throughout and received compliments all day.

Buttons are great detail!
I was looking for a set that would work in the fall and this did not disappoint. I was annoyed the smaller size was not available because I was swimming in the shirt, but went well with the oversized feel when paired with the shorts. Its certainly a loose fit throughout and the buttons are actually heavy. I also was able to pair with a work skirt to get more use out of. I will 100 be renting again in the smaller size as this is great to thrown on for any activity.

I received lots of compliments every time I wore this but I really wasn’t a huge fan. The fabric is a lightweight silk which is comfortable and has deep pockets but I found the bust to be extremely large and had to tie the belt (which is sewn in) very tight for it to look normal. Overall size was large and felt baggy on me and at the same time restrictive as I couldn’t lift my arms with ease. The cut is nice and the sleeves are dropped giving it a nice silhouette
