Stretch!
This dress was beautiful and I got compliments all day long from coworkers and others visiting my workplace. When I first put it on I thought it would be too tight but it does stretch and even stretched throughout the day (but not an overwhelmingly amount to be baggy or too loose). I am normally a 14 and the XL fit TTS for me. Will absolutely rent again and have other dresses from the brand favorited as well!

Great casual sweater
This is a great piece to rent for a casual day at work or for out and about. The sweater was a little itchy when I first put it on but I got used to it by the time I got to work. I have rented this sweater in pink and didn't have the issue so that's the reasoning for four stars. This is a heavy sweater but not doesn't feel heavy when wearing. I would rent again!

Fun!
This was the perfect skirt to brighten up my work-day. It fit true to size and didn't make my hips looks wider due to the vertical stripes. There are many options for tops that you could pair with the skirt too which is great and could transition from work to dinner in a flash. The lining under did get bunched up a few times because I was up and down at my desk but nothing too bad. I would rent again.

Comfortable without looking sloppy.
Very light and comfortable materials. I paired with black pumps for work and got many compliments. I tried to ignore the fact that the stripes on the skirt did not match up perfectly but that's just me. It was a wonderful dress!

Comfortable Dress for all day wear
The skirt was a little tight when I tried it on so I didn't think it would work. I have to wear pantyhose for work so once I added those the skirt slipped right over and was comfortable all day long (maybe even stretched out a bit as I was in it from 7:30am-7:30pm for a work event). The dress fit true to size and the vertical stripes on the skirt were a nice touch to elongate the bottom half. I liked that I could wear my black shoes with this but I think you could pull off nude as well.

Size down - lots of stretch
I am typically an XL but was swimming in this dress. Lots of stretch. Wonderful dress and wish I could have made it work. Will definitely rent again in a Large when available!

Be careful if you're "hip-y"
This was such a cute dress. Light weight and lined so it wasn't see through but it was a little tight in the hips. I sized up because I was afraid of that (having rented this designer before) and I'm glad I did. It was a little loose in the waist and chest (smaller area on time) but did not take away how cute the dress was. Great for work or a summer party. Would rent again and I definitely recommend for others!

Floral Elegance
This was the best dress I could have rented! I stood out wonderfully (conservatively) in this dress amongst a sea of navy and darker colors for a wedding. I'm 5'9" and the dress hit me below the knee but not quite mid calf. In my opinion it was the perfect length. Sleeves are a good size as sometimes my arms don't fit in short sleeved dresses. The shape of the dress hugged every curve without being too tight to not be able to sit comfortable dance. I LOVED this dress.

Condition of the dress was lacking ...
I think the dress I received had been rented out one too many times. There were a few small flaws and the lace at the shoulders and neck line didn't lay flat. I will say that if you get a great condition dress that it is beautiful. I chose not to wear because, like another reviewer said, it accentuated my thighs which is something I'd like to hide. The dress it not tight but the curve in the design over the top of the thigh area definitely make your legs look large in my opinion.

Felt so old!
At 5'9" I felt like this was a little long for my age. I rented this for a wedding and in my late 20's I felt very matronly. I will say it was a great fit for my shape, size and the lace was in great shape but it just didn't work out for me.

My arms!!!
Wonderful dress - comfy and stretchy but still formal for work. The one con was that the bands on the arms were not stretchy and therefore my arm movement was limited and it was tight. If there had been a little give in the band or the band was a little larger it would have been a 5 star dress!

Wish it would have worked!
Spanx couldn't even help me in this skirt. THOUGH it is soo lovely I wish it could have worked. I carry in my hips/saddle bags and the print was not flattering in those areas so I chose not to wear. I'd say this bold of a pattern is great for someone who doesn't carry extra weight in those areas. Going to make this a goal skirt though! So cute!

LOVE! Will rent again
This dress was AMAZING! Wish I could keep It. Perfect fit, true to size, pattern covers some trouble areas but cute makes everything flattering too. Stretchy but structured and the perfect length for a business meeting (I'm 5'9"). RENT. THIS. DRESS!!

Don't rent if you have hips
Dress fit me perfect everywhere but was so tight around hips/butt that I knew I couldn't make it work. Would love to try a larger size because it is a cute dress. Rented for a spring party but would definitely work more for an early fall timeframe too

So cute!
I wore this for a reunion event that was "business casual" yet knew I needed to be a little more dressed up. It was still casual enough to not stand out enough from the crowd. Great fit! I have been in between a 14/16 for a few months but with little time to find a dress and the 16 was available I went for it. Likely could ah e fit in the 14 but know there is no stretch to the material at all. Either order both or possibly size up for that matter. Even for me, being a little loose I'd still rent the same size again and found it very flattering.

Just Awkward
I thought this would be a cute, different dress. Unfortunately it was right in my arms therefore it was pulling the neckline in an awkward way. I would say I have large arms but apparently they were a little too big for these sleeves. I'd say overall everything else fit true to size.

Short!
This dress is two parts and fits true to size but it was so short on me. I decided not to wear because after just walking around my room in the dress I realized it definitely wouldn't work for a night out. I'm 5'9" so take that in to reference when looking to rent. Again, great dress but maybe not meant for taller girls!

Yikes!
If you're tall this is likely not the jumpsuit for you. I'm 5'9" and would say evenly proportional (legs, torso, etc), but it seemed like the body of this suit just wasn't long enough so I couldn't even wear it. I will note that the material was very nice, heavy but didn't seem too warm and the sequins were nicely patterned out. Truly wish it would have worked!
