Faux front pockets
Not as high-rise as they claim and these also were the type of pant you have to constantly pull up. The front pockets aren't functional - they're fake, which I found irritating.

Really thin material
Was hoping for a thicker fabric on this dress. The material was way too thin and made it where you would definitely need shape wear.

Not flattering for pear shapes
These made my hips and legs look much larger than they are which was unflattering for my hourglass/pear shaped body.

Perfect weight for Florida weather
These were slightly large on me, but I still loved them! They go with everything and were the perfect weight for Florida's weather year-round. I want to buy in the right size!

Enjoyed wearing this pretty dress. It covered up the less flattering parts of my figure and felt flirty and feminine. Lots of compliments!

Tight in the arms
Loved this jacket, especially the shape, color, and design, but it runs very tight in the arms. Had to send back the medium even though I am usually between small and medium in tops. I don’t carry a ton of weight in my arms, so this surprised me.

Great weight, travels well
Got this for a bachelorette where we had to wear green tones and ended up wearing it several different ways. It isn’t a piece I need in my permanent closet, but if the color were more neutral I would want it because the weight was perfect and it travelled very well without wrinkling. It’s a soft material that is comfortable and moves with you well. It is lined, so it is a warm blazer but light enough to wear even in moderate temperatures.

Love! Versatile and comfortable
Wore this skirt on the airplane to Italy (9+hr flight) and then was able to style it so many different ways upon arrival - I am obsessed and purchased to continue wearing at home. You can wear it with so many different colors and in multiple seasons. The weight and style makes it perfect for variable/moderate weather. The crochet pattern allows a breeze so you don’t get hot, but keeps you warm in temps from 50s-70s. It’s forgiving with my post-baby body. The elastic in the waist is just right - not too tight, but not loose. You do need some shapewear, bike shorts, or nude undergarments as it is crocheted so semi-see through.

Perfect weight!
Loved this blazer, and ended up purchasing it. It was the perfect color and weight for my mid-October trip to Lake Como. Weather was mid-60s each day and I paired this with dresses, jeans, and jumpsuits. It is lined but still lightweight. It kept me warm on our boat day but was cool enough to keep on in the sun without a breeze. It’s a great length and checks all my boxes!

Itchy and baggy
Not my favorite sweater rental. It was itchy but hard to style with something underneath due to the holes (unless you want to wear a turtleneck underneath) and frumpy. I like some length on a sweater, but the fit of this one is off. It's wearable, but I wouldn't waste a rental spot on it.

Better than I thought!
I wasn’t sure about this one, but a friend recommended it as one of her favorite rentals. It fit really well and accentuated curves in the right places. If you’re on the fence, give this one a try. I found it to fit TTS. For reference, I am curvier in my hips than up top and wore this 6 months postpartum after having twins. It hid my postpartum pooch and fit very comfortably.

Love the print but size up
I was so excited about this dress. It is more fitted in the hips than I expected, so I was not able to comfortably wear this one. If you are curvier on the bottom, I would recommend sizing up, possibly even two sizes.

Loved this so much I purchased. It is comfortable, well tailored, and can be dressed up or down so it works for nearly any event or occasion. Definitely recommend renting it. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Comfortable but felt boxy
I was hoping this would be a good, casual dress to wear to a concert but didn’t love it once it was on. The sleeves made it feel a bit boxy, and the print wasn’t as attractive in person to me as it appeared online.

Comfortable and pretty
Loved these shorts. I am not in the right season to wear them right now (recently postpartum with twins) but I thought they were adorable and look forward to the day I feel more comfortable going out in pieces like these. The waist is fitted, but the shorts are looser, so these will work fine for a curvy body type with a smaller waist and larger hips/thighs.

Lovely skirt
This skirt is gorgeous. I didn’t end up wearing it because I had trouble finding a matching top from my wardrobe, but I would definitely recommend renting this if you have a nice coordinating blouse! I will say it is not flattering on the “mom pooch” and will accentuate that if you have one. I am 8 months postpartum with twins and was not thrilled with the way this sat on my baby weight.

Comfortable and classy
I am recently postpartum from a twin pregnancy and wore this to christen our babies. I felt confident (not common these days!), comfortable, classy, and lovely. The fit of this dress is both forgiving and gives a nice shape. I will look to purchase this once my body is settled into its new normal from postpartum.

Nice dress, not a hit for me but my SIL loved it
This is a pretty dress, and forgiving in the waist due to the elastic in the back of the waistband. I ended up wearing something else due to the buttons on the bust gaping slightly open, but my chest is larger than usual right now due to nursing twins so I don’t think most would experience this issue unless well endowed. The elastic on the arms was a little tight for my preference. I am glad I picked another dress as my sister in law showed up in this one! She wore for Easter and a baptism and it looked lovely on her.

Unwearable
The elastic on the sleeves of this dress made it unwearable - it was uncomfortably tight. My arms are one of the smaller parts of my figure so this surprised me.

Best dress
This dress is everything. So comfortable, easy length, pockets, gorgeous collar, comfortable sleeves. I was able to wear it playing with my children and still felt very put together. It would work as a day dress, day night, girls night, vacation frock, anything. I would purchase this if I weren’t recently postpartum from a twin pregnancy and in my normal size.

Runs small, order 1-2 sizes up
This jumpsuit is very cute, but runs small. I normally wear a 2 on top and a 4 on the bottom. The 6R fit me, but barely.
