Odd fit, didn't wear
This dress is quite lovely to look at. The fabric is more of an upholstery type, and is not shiny as it appears in some photos. The color is striking without being annoying. The problem with this dress is in the fit. I typically wear a size 2 or 4. I'm definitely straight and narrow through the waist and hips. The two was slightly too tight to zip up. The four zipped up but was then loose and large in the bust and hips. There's an underlayer at the thighs that is tight. I was glad I had an alternate dress to wear from rent the runway as I could have worn this dress but I would not have been comfortable. The picture doesn't quite tell the story of the fit. If you tend to be a bit more curved and your curves fit within the confines of the dress, it is really beautiful.

Unique and fun dress
As other reviews said, this is a super unique dress made of scuba material. I rented it for an outdoor winter nighttime party. It's not as warm as I expected, but still a fantastic choice. The print is interesting and beautiful and due to the fabric has a more casual look in person. Super flattering shape. I usually wear an extra small to small and extra small rode up a bit so I was pulling it down as it's quite short. If you're between sizes go down. I really loved this dress.

Didn't wear
This dress would be nice for a holiday party. The material is beautiful. It seemed to run a bit small. The styling seemed a bit too young so I didn't wear it.

Didn't love on me
This dress is pretty with nice detailing in the front, but it wasn't flattering on me. I felt drab and boxy due to the straight sheath shape. I didn't wear this one.

One of my favorite rentals yet
I love this dress. Super comfortable, sexy yet still appropriate for a work party. The material is of moderate weight, so it flatters, and is a bit stretchy. I used silicone shields instead of a bra and still felt well supported. I tend to wear a 2-4 in dresses and the 2 fit fine. The only minor downside to this dress is that the slit in the back isn't too long, so it's difficult to walk in. I have to shorten my stride, although I do have long legs. Fantastic rental.

Not great on me
I love this designer but I felt that the style didn't seem very flattering on me. I usually wear a 2 to 4 and in this designer I always wear a four (This is a size 4 and it fit fine). It's a beautiful color, and a really nice fabric.

Too tight on top
This is a beautiful dress, nice fabric and style. It didn't zip up in the size 2 because it was too small in the chest and the fabric has no give, so in the pic the back is open (I usually wear a 2-4, 32D). I liked it enough that I'll try it again in a 4.

Loved it but didn't wear it
I loved this dress-it fit great (size 2), the material was just stretchy enough to be comfortable without feeling too clingy, and the style is great. I didn't wear it because I felt it was too sexy for the family wedding I was attending. Of note, it was slightly loose around the top, even tho I usually wear a size 2 or 4 (I'm a 32D).

Didn't love it
I usually wear a 2 in most dresses, sometimes a 4. I rented the 2R in this and I couldn't zip it up in the back. The lace has no give to it, and the fabric didn't feel very comfortable or high end to me. I liked the overall style but I chose not to wear the dress.

Great long sleeved dress
It's so tough to find dresses with sleeves. It was supposed to be cold and raining the day of the wedding, so I chose this long sleeve dress. It ended up being beautiful but the dress still did not feel too warm and was very comfortable. It doesn't have a zipper that was easy to get into. I didn't need to wear a bra. The color is beautiful and I got tons of compliments on it.

Nice leather jacket
I liked this jacket a lot. I don't wear this style of jacket often. But I liked that the color was unique. It was also warm and fit and made well.

Great coat
This coat is a great combo of utility and trend. It's warm and the leather accents make it unique. Unfortunately my coat didn't come with the hood that I needed for the rain. I ended up buying this jacket in a 2.

Great work top
I really like this top. I wore it to a work meeting and it was just right. I liked but didn't love the print. I did love the cut. I'm between an XS and S and the XS is generously sized.

Great piece
This was a big large but great for the occasion. Surprisingly warm. Very cute. Took away one star because of the fit being off. I would rent this again.

Love this dress!
I probably should have rented the 2L in this, as the dress looked fine but bunched a bit at the waste. I wore a sticky bra under. The dress is beautifully made and the cut is flattering, the slightly heavy fabric is forgiving. The color stands out. I got a lot of compliments. I loved how it was appropriate for the occasion but still modem and on trend. Also super comfortable.

Beautiful comfortable dress
I ended up not wearing this to the event because there was another gown that I liked more. But this is a beautiful & comfortable dress. The fabric has more of a casual vibe to it. You can wear it with any bra, and the cut is flattering and forgiving. I wear between a two and a four in dresses typically and the two fit perfectly. This is a beautiful dress that I would definitely rent again.

Beautiful fabric, tricky fit
Photos of this dress really don't do it justice. The fabric is thick and beautiful with a little bit of shimmer inside the flowers. It feels very nice to wear. The nice thing is that you can wear a regular bra. The tough thing is the sizing. It's European sizing (I usually wear a 2 to 4 in dresses) and I tried on the 8 and 10 in this and ended up wearing the 10. However the chest still did not fit well. It was tight around my chest, but too loose higher up toward the neck. I had to pull it down through the night. For reference I'm a 32D. The dress feels very European, especially with the asymmetrical bottom. Despite the challenges I loved it so much I would rent it again.

Deceptively sexy top
This top is made unique by the back. The fit is true to size, although it is almost too short for me (I'm 5' 9"). I wore a sticky gel bra, which worked great. The open sides would show a regular bra. The sides and back make it sexier than expected. I ended up keeping on my jacket most of the time when the event ended up a bit more conservative than I expected. The material of the top is thick enough to hide sticky bras. The sleeves on the shirt would roll up a bit with movement and not come back down. Doubled sided tape helped.

Cute but short
This top is super cute, but it's too short for me (I'm 5' 9"). Even with high waisted skirts and pants the peplum didn't fall right. It's got a nice background texture and fit well otherwise. I may try S instead of XS to see if the length might work.

Nice, but didn't wear it
This top arrived wrinkled which seems unavoidable given the fabric. It's well made, a lovely color, from a nice, soft material. However I just didn't like the style well enough on me to wear it.

Didn't love it
I really wanted to like this top, as I think the style is cute, but it just wasn't flattering on me. I liked the fabric and fit. It's a bit on the short side, but I'm tall. I didn't wear it and sent it back.

Cute casual top
This blouse is a beautiful color but very sheer. I wore a black cami underneath (which looked fine). It's nicely made from a soft, airy fabric, although the elastic on the sleeves was a bit tight. It was a great choice (with the cami) for a family holiday party.

Didn't wear, but cute style
This outfit is made of really nice fabrics, but I didn't wear it because the bottoms just weren't flattering. The smalls run a bit big (which is consistent with the styling), but still too short for my 5' 9" frame. That would have been okay, but the white was clingy in the wrong places, and not flattering. I'll probably order the same outfit with white top and black bottoms, because the styling is really cute. I'd recommend sizing down if length isn't an issue. The top is super cute.

Casual weekend jacket
This jacket has an oversized style and is in an interesting, neoprene type fabric with mesh sleeves. The fabric keeps it pretty warm despite the mesh. It's interesting and trendy. Not something I'd rent again, but it was fun for a day. I did receive a compliment on it.

Great, fun dress!
I absolutely love this dress. It's super comfortable and flattering due to the fabric and the slight fullness added to the bottom. The print is fun and stylish. I wore this for a holiday party and it got many compliments. I wear a 2-4 and this fit fine, but a bit roomy on top.

Nice fall dress
The best thing about this dress is the fabric. It's thick, flattering, warm and super comfortable. The color is nice, I didn't love the design on the fabric, but the other aspects of the dress made up for that. It's a great choice for a dress that leans more casual.

Great versatile dress
This size 2 is an exchange on unlimited for a size 4. It fits much better, and I could probably even go smaller if needed. The opening in the arms are a nice touch that make this conservative dress interesting. Great dress for many occasions, and would look good with different shoe options. I plan to order it again.
