My problem area is my stomach and the pockets helped to disguise this!  Sleeves have a slit, therefore they were not tight on my arms.  Great dress!

I don't know if the dress runs big or the intended cut/style is less restrictive but this dress is awesome. If you like things super fitted you may want to size down but I don't so I felt good in this. I'm tall and curvy with a bit of a tummy and all that is completely hidden between the cut and the pattern. The cute keyhole neckline and lace trimmed sleeves is so feminine. The dress was long enough and chic enough for work - I work in a fairly conservative environment, while cute and flirty enough for a party. I wore it to my sons college graduation and after party. It has POCKETS which was awesome since the graduation wouldn't let us take in purses. A place for lipstick, phone and ID without being bulky around the hips. 

If I wasn't between sizes right now, I would totally buy this dress - even though it is a bit more than I normally would spend. It is literally my favorite thing in my closet right now and I may keep it a little longer for that reason. When I get down a size I may rent again a smaller size and purchase then. 

Lightweight, wrinkle resistant fabric. NOT stretchy. The medallion floral patterns on the dress are pink and blue so you can dress with black or pastel accessories. Due to the neckline no necklace is needed. 


Love this dress and I'm having trouble sending it back. I've worn it to 2 parties and to work. I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it. Fits perfectly and so comfortable. The print is cute but grown up and sophisticated. Love the lace detail in the sleeves.  I might keep in until the weather warms up so I can wear it without tights. This is a favorite from my unlimited subscription. 

This dress is super lightweight and comfy. The sleeves are scalloped, so its comfortable to move your arms around. And the POCKETS - love them! Flattering cut!

Pretty dress with unique pattern.  Feminine and work appropriate.

Dress was light and comfortable. Had a little trouble with the zipper getting stuck going up. Loved the pockets and felt gorgeous in this dress. Would def recommend. 

I'm between a 12 and 14 and the 14 fit perfectly. Other reviews mentioned that there's no stretch to the fabric, which is true, but it's definitely not a stiff fabric--it moves well and shaped to my body (and bust!!). I think this could look flattering on many different shapes/sizes. I felt like it was a little large in the waist and a little tight on my hips, so it rode up a tiny bit, but not badly and I still loved wearing it! One note: the lining was longer than the dress so I had to pin it up--perhaps because of the dry cleaning?

Very baggy fit. Pattern was okay. Not my favorite rental but good to throw on for average day at office.

Perfect everyday dress by Nanette Lepore! With little to no stretch, this dress run true to size.  I recommend going a size up for a backup, it is fitted in the hip area. The simple yet beautiful lace detail on the shoulder added a flare to the dress.

Love the pockets and fit on this dress! It was fitted, but not too tight, and made for a very flattering look. The material was light and didn't wrinkle. I'll be buying this one - best item I've ever had from RTR. 

Loved it. Bought it. Great dress. Excellent cut. 

Fit well and was comfortable.  Not too short for work.  

Everything about this dress was amazing! It's such a beautiful print, so comfortable to wear, and has pockets! The length is perfect for work and I received so many compliments on it. I really am sad to send this one back! One of my best rentals of by far

This dress is adorable.  I am 5'4" and the length is perfect for work or church.  It hits right above the knee, which is perfect for my age.  The 8 is a perfect fit, not tight anywhere and just a cute comfortable dress.  You could certainly wear this dress all year and change up with a jacket and tights with boots to just some cute sandals with a heel.  Will rent this dress again.

Pros: hugged the right spots and not too short. The sleeve was also flattering on the arms
Cons: Little snug on the boobs, but this is a problem area for me.

Flattering dress with pockets. Sleeves were a little odd but I wore with jackets. Hard to return

Such a lovely dress. Light but high quality silk that was perfect for Easter Sunday or an evening out for dinner. I'm a 36DDD and the top fit great. The pockets are fabulous. Oh, and I'm short-waisted and the length of the top and overall proportion on me were perfect. I really want to own this but will settle for wearing it the next couple weeks instead!

It's a great dress -- easy to wear and super flattering.  I loved the tiny lace detail on the sleeves.   Perfect.  I'd buy this one.

Sit great. Able to be worn for work or a night out! Will hang on to this one a little longer. 

Cute dress with pockets and surprising feminine detail trim. Very comfortable, will rent again. 

I loved this dress! It's silky and the cut is flattering. It fits a little loose so if you're between sizes, lean toward the smaller size. I am a true 6 and this fit well. Perhaps it's just meant to be a little loose?

I wish I had rented the size 2 because the size 4 runs a little big in the waist area on me. The fabric is nice and light and the tailored fit works great on an hourglass shape. Length hit me at mid-kneecap which is a little long for my taste but was perfect for work. Also -- IT HAS POCKETS! Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful silk fabric, and fit like a glove. The pockets were a nice touch, and the sleeves had a pretty detail. I wore this for a full day, including three hours in the car, and it stayed comfortable and unwrinkled. Definitely recommend! 

Great fit, room in the bust and a good length.  Plan to wear it to work.

I loved this dress and would definitely rent it again. I paired it with black leggings and a black leather jacket.  Great for work to evening.  The fit was very flattering.

It looked way too small when I took it out of the garment bag, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is super super flattering to a curvy girl. Its slightly stretchy & really comfortable. That said, it was a huge disappointment that the lining hangs down further than the silk of the dress. I didn't wear it- such a bummer.

Great fitting dress! It ran true to size and has pockets which was nice! The sleeves have a lace material on the edges and they flowed up a little bit which i didn't like 

I rented this through unlimited for a graduation. I loved the dress online but only liked it in person. 
It has pockets which is fantastic but the lining of the pockets caused it to lay weird on my stomach. I thought it gave me a pooch and the boyfriend very tactfully told me it wasn't flattening which takes a lot for him to say. Lol. Maybe going a size up would have fixed the problem? It's a very sweet dress just not what I was looking for. 

The fit was a little tight around the hips, which made me feel less excited about the dress, but overall, it's pretty and classy, definitely good for work.

This dress runs very big on the bottom.  I ordered a 4 but I was swimming in it from the waist down.  The bottom half seems disproportional in size to the top, as the top fit well.  If I ordered a 2 I don't think it would have fit in the chest.  The pattern is very pretty though and the fabric is nice.  Wish I could have worn it.

Returned without wearing - ran large and did not care for the sleeves
