Honeymoon dress for Hawaii
Size worn: LR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Vacation
This dress was really pretty, but as the sizes are small, medium, large vs. numbered sizes the fit wasn't as good as I would have hoped. The top elastic was very tight, however the rest of the dress was fairly large. The dress was really long, even with my 4 inch heels was still dragging the ground. overall it was a really pretty dress, and fit the Hawaii scene, and was fine for going out to dinner, but I wouldn't recommend it if you were planning to be walking around based on the length.

Perfect carribean dress!
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Vacation
Extremely comfortable for the humid, hot weather. Went to San Juan, PR for my 12th anniversary. It was great for the weather. A bit long due to my height, but I've worned heels; I would add another star. Very light and true to size. Wear a spandax if you are very curvy.. and a strapless bra.

I wore this dress to a work event and really liked that it was a nice mix of being casual and comfortable, while still being trendy. It was really long though and I had trouble not stepping on it or tripping on it throughout the night.

Fun, easy dress for an outside wedding!
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I am pretty much a 4 on top and 6 on the bottom. I rented both the SR and MR and ended up wearing the medium because the small was a bit clingy at the hips. I wore about 5" wedges and still had to belt the dress because it was long. Overall, loved the dress and got several compliments throughout the night!

The dress fit nicely and was amazingly comfortable. I had a fun and stress free night!
Size worn: LR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
It fit true to size, I usually wear a large or XL, and it definitely was a true large, so it was a little tighter than I had hoped but still fit fine. I think the fit was intended to be looser around the waist, but I liked that it was more form-fitting on me because I am pear shaped, so I didn't want to lose my waist. The length was perfect with my shoes, which were about 6 inch wedges, so I was probably around 5'11"

RTR was easy, efficient, and accessible. You guys really made my day hassle-free. On top of that, I got so many compliments on the dress - the fit, the style... Everything was just perfection!

I was worried about this dress because I only got it in one size but it ended up fitting perfectly! The fabric is pretty clingy around the hip area so I would say, if you're a curvier girl, get two sizes. Also, you can't see it in my photo, but I'm wearing 4 inch wedges with the dress and it covered my shoes. I'm a tall girl (about 5'8"), so shorter women might want to take note of that - its the only reason I gave the dress 4/5 stars. This dress is comfy and its appropriate in every setting. I wore it all day on my birthday for a large bday brunch, a day party in downtown NYC, and an evening shindig. I felt relaxed and beautiful in it all day. So happy that I rented it!

Size worn: SR
Overall fit: True to Size

i'm 6 months pregnant and decided to risk not being able to fit into this... but it's nice and flowing, while still fitted enough to give you a shape. i'm 5'3 and wore this with 3 inch heels and it was still a bit long. there's a tag on the inside that made it bunch a little weird around my thigh/hip area, but overall i was very happy with it! LOVE the splash of yellow at the bottom =)

This is the second Tibi dress that I have rented, and I love this one as much as the first! The fit is perfect and the material is so comfortable. Perfect for a lake or beach party!! Decided to go with gold and black accessories when the necklace photographed with it was unavailable, but I was still very happy with the look. I love RTR!!

My garment bag!!! I didn't even expect it, which was the best part. I travel often and produce events throughout the year...so I'm always driving around with a garment bag/dress in my car. I'll be rocking my RTR bag from now on :)

I ordered this dress for a summer wedding, in hopes to coordinate with my husband, who was part of the ceremony. It's truly a difficult task to match celadon so I decided this dress would be best to compliment him! Because of my frame, I belted the dress for a more flattering look. It's super comfy, lightweight material, & the slit in the back is PERFECT! Best choice I could have made..thanks RTR!

Liked the look of the dress, but when i saw the fit, I couldnt make either size work.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
Overall the dress fit a little weird. The small was fine in the bust, but there was some awkward bagginess in the stomach area. The XS was fine in length, but then too small in the bust and still baggy in the stomach.

Fit was true to size, and there is an elastic band at the top which keeps it from not falling down. Dress was long even with 3 1/2 inch heels but was comfortable a fun rental!

Make sure you wear top jewels with this to make it look chic otherwise it looks like a Target type dress. To be worn with flat shows to avoid some over-the-top-trying-too-hard style

I was stopped in the street by a stranger to ask me where I got my fabulous dress!
Size worn: SR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress for a surprise birthday party I threw for my fiancé, and it was perfect! The fit is true to size and the dress is amazingly comfortable to wear. The pattern is so different from all the other dresses I looked at, and I was complimented all night long by my friends. The dress isn't super fitted, but it will definitely accentuate all your curves. I didn't wear any jewelry because I wanted my look to be a little more dressed down, but it can take on a completely different look with a statement necklace. I would definitely recommend this dress if you're looking for something comfortable and fun!

I love this dress so much I ended up buying when it went on sale at Neimans. It is gorgeous. Not figure hugging, more of a column waist. Elastic at the top but also has a zipper. It looked perfect with wedges and a necklace, like the picture but I have also worn it belted with flat sandles.

Love everything Tibi! This was a great dress for a night out on our beach vacation in the Caribbean. It was a little long (flip flops would not have worked), but paired with wedges it was perfect! Funny side note: This same dress was for sale and displayed in window at the resort boutique, for a pretty penny, I might add. My friends thought I bought it there :)

So unique, so many compliments
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I recently wore this dress to an outdoor vineyard wedding in CT (where I didn't want to be too preppy or too formal) and it worked out perfectly. As I suspected upon ordering, the fabric makes the dress look a bit casual at first glance, but it looks much classier and dressier on. While it skims the body nicely, I opted to belt it (with a wide black suede-ish belt with vintage sea-foam stone closure at front) and it looked absolutely beautiful - and it was super comfortable all night long. I got a ton of compliments and would highly recommend this to anyone for a wedding or party.

Beautiful Dress for a Dinner
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
This was a great dress for a nice dinner in NYC with some visiting friends. I am 5'6" and the dress was a bit long. I had to wear heels so it wasn't touching the ground. Colors are beautiful and other than length, it was a great fit! I have some hips so it wasn't totally hanging off of me (it was a little snugger around my hips). But, still looked great!

This dress fit perfect with my 4 inch heels. It does run long but I didn’t find it hard to walk. The slit in the back added perfect amount of sex appeal. Added bonus, it made me look really thin and sleek. Never had to mess with the top, it stayed secure all night and while dancing.

This was a great dress! I was 5 months pregnant and wore this dress and it was great. The fabric had a bit of a stretch so for me it was awesome. I had tons of people coming up to me because they loved the dress. I am 5'7 and wore 3 inch heals and it was still long, so make sure you wear some tall shoes!

I am 5'4 and wear between sizes 4-6 depending on the brand so I rented the medium. The dress pattern is super cute and perfect enough for all summer events, however it's very long. I couldn't wear this dress with flats and even in a wedge heel, the bottom of the dress was still dragging. Would have been perfect if I were 2 inches taller! Would rent again if the length was shorter.

I'm so glad I ordered up a size for my backup. I am 5'6" and even with 3 inch wedges it drug a little on the floor. But I really loved this dress and received compliments. If you are tall and slim, this is a summer dress you'll love. I rented the Kendra Scott Gwen Lilly Earrings and the geometric bangle set and was very happy with the whole look. I was quite comfortable too.

So bummed!
Size worn: LR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful dress... But I am clearly a bit more curvy than the average wearer. The fit was ok... But a bit too snug around my butt and thighs to be appropriate for the event. The fabric is stretchy and clingy... And I was just not comfortable enough to wear it! Even with Spanx, it was just a bit too tight. So sad!
