This dress was very unusual and different than anything I would ever wear - I loved it!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I found that this dress ran true to size - it fits a little more snug in the shoulder area (because of the cap sleeves) and around the waist. The length was not too short or too long. The pattern is amazing - it's hard to tell from photos but there are leather details around the bodice that looked great. The fabric is thick and would work well for fall/winter events.

This dress runs true to size- just has very little to no stretch! Bending over is not really a possibility, you have to kneel down to the ground. Other than that- its beautiful and very slimming. I loved it and would recommend to anyone!

The dress was so flattering; I felt so beautiful.

I love, love, loved this dress!! I am contemplating purchasing it, but if I don't, I will absolutely rent again. The dress ran true to size, however it was a little big in the shoulders because I am a pear shape and always have more room in the top if something fits in the hips. It wasn't so big that I couldn't wear it however. The leather triangles on the sides at the waist was super flattering, and the pattern really hid my little belly well. All in all a fantastic dress in my opinion.

Perfect winter wedding outfit!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress for a February wedding in Canada. It has a thicker material and pleather accents at the waist and sleeve that make it fantastic for a colder day. The cut is very modern and the sleeves give it a bit of a futuristic look. It definitely stood out against that other standard cocktail dresses. I paired it with a fake fur cowl, which worked out super well and kept me warm. It is fairly tight and very short, but if you are wearing darker tights you will be fine.

beautiful dress!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I rented this LAST MINUTE for NYE and RTR got it to me even sooner than I expected! They even included cute nye party headbands and a tote bag. The dress itself is BEAUTIFUL. High quality, detailed, and sexy without being revealing. The dress is also very versatile. As noted, I wore it for NYE, and it was definitely fancy enough. However, it can be toned down and worn to something more casual. The leather side details add a unique twist to the dress and make it stand out. Because I ordered last minute for a holiday, I was only able to rent one size and unfortunately it happened to be what would have been my backup size. The dress still looked great, but I think my true size would have been a little more flattering. I belted the dress at the waist to cinch it a little and it wasn't a big deal. Side note: If you're a fan of "The City" or Olivia Palermo's style, she has worn this dress before!

I wore this to a black tie holiday party. It was unique, slimming and it fit me perfectly from top to bottom. The thicker material allowed me to wear spanx underneath without showing any lines and mask some of my baby weight blubber around my belly. I loved the dress.

I paired this shift dress with sheer black tights, a blazer, and booties. Being 5'9, the size 2 dress was a little short for a work occasion so I had to wear the size 4, but I could barely tell the difference fit wise between the two. Not an easy dress to wear if you are planning bending down and lifting your arms above your head but regardless I loved the fabric and the cut. A perfect work dress!

Got tons of compliments on this striking dress!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress if fantastic! The fit of this dress was so flattering to my "straight and narrow" body type, giving me much needed curves where I have none. I love the dark waist cinching detail and the cap sleeves. I wore this dress to a wedding after reading other reviews that it wasn't as short as the picture. This is true. When standing the dress is much longer, when sitting, be prepared for the dress to be as short as you see on the model. This dress was also amazingly comfortable as there were no details that dig into you (re: some one shouldered dresses I've rented in the past) nor was the inside liner of this dress tight or uncomfortable in any way. You may think this is "just" a black and white dress, but I assure you, the way it looks on is showstopping. I absolutely loved this dress and would rent it again in a heartbeat.

Unique dress & flattering fit!

Overall fit: True to Size

I really enjoyed this dress! I work for a very young fashion company & wore it to the work Christmas party, which has more of a "club" feel to it than holiday party. (think big event space, multiple DJs & an up & coming band). I wore a size 6 & it fit perfect in the hips, but was a little big on the top. Overall, just a great dress. Would definitely rent it again.

I did not get a good pic of the dress, but I loved it. The material felt and looked great. It fit true to size. The shoulders felt a little big, but It was doable. The dress looks very short on the model. I am 5'2" and the dress fell just a couple inches above my knee. The length was perfect. I wore it with a pair of tall of black heels. The entire RTR experience was wonderful. The dress arrived promptly, with a very easy and free return system.

Unfortunately UPS arrived after I had left for my dinner party with friends, so I never had the chance to wear this dress out. However, I loved it. I have been searching high and low to buy it and cannot find it anywhere! Will definitely rent again so I can show it off. It was my backup dress so I only ordered 1 size (4), I would have liked to try on the 2 as well to see if it hugged by curves a little better though. The 4 seemed a little loose, but would still work.

I wore this for my sister-in-law's rehearsal dinner and it was really cute! It ran a little small so I would have liked to try on the 8, but the 6 worked out just fine with a bustier underneath to smooth things out.

I wore this dress to a friend's winter wedding with black tights and pumps. Overall I was happy with the dress, but not enough to say I would run out and buy it. Pros - very easy wear. The material is thick enough that you don't have to worry about sucking it in all night! It was comfortable and in good condition. Cons - the material is more of a silk. I felt like this made it a little more formal than I liked.

Cute dress but didn't fit well.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I have a larger chest and suspected I'd need to size up with this dress. Unfortunately the backup size (4) wasn't available. After reading some reviews I thought I might be fine with the size 2 since others said it runs a little large. I was able to get the dress on and it looked fine, but was a little tight in the chest area which made the shoulders fit funny. I was not comfortable in this dress but think the size 4 probably would have worked. This was not a good rental for me and I don't think I'll rent again unless my backup size is available.

This dress was my first choice and I got it in size 2 and 4. I own quite a few Tibi dresses in both sizes, but neither size worked for me. The 2 was too tight in the waist, and the 4 was too big in the bodice and the shoulders The sleeves are very stiff and stick out and just emphasized that the fit was off.. It is a great dress, not a lot of give in the fabric.

I had originally ordred the size 0 a few weeks ahead, but they emailed me and said that they didn't have a size 0 for the date that i had ordered it for, but they were going to send the size 2. It was a beautiful dress, well constructed but massively large on me. I had hoped that it would only be slightly bigger than normal, but it wasn't even wearable. I'm guessing the 0 would have been too big on me too.

Perfect dress for late summer/early fall and it did NOT wrinkle!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
After a four hour drive to a wedding in NY, I took this dress out of the bag, put it on, quick makeup and was out the door within 10 minutes since we were running late. The dress had no wrinkles, fit perfectly, and required no special undergarments. What more could one ask?
The fabric is not stretchy at all however, so be very careful about size. It is not forgiving. To offset that, it hangs beautifully and looked fresh and crisp at the end of the evening. I ordered a 4 and 6 and wore the 6. The broad shoulders combined with waist detail are very flattering. High praise!

So easy to wear!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress was so cute and so easy to wear! It has a "v" in the back, but not so low that you can't wear a normal bra. The material is thick enough that you can wear normal underwear. I am slightly hippy and it was more fitted at the bottom (not too much though, just hugged my curves), but if I had gone up a size the top would have been too big. It is not as short as the picture on the model, but does get short when you sit down. The leather accents just give it a little something different. My boyfriend loved it too!

I love Tibi and had wanted to rent this dress for a while. I loved that it was white for my bachelorette party, but had an edge with the leather trim and sniw leopard print. I own a lot of Tibi (and have rented a lot) and I usually wear a size 2. The 2 barely fit (thankfully it did!) but was a little tight around my back. I got tons of compliments on it and it looked great!

I loved this dress! I wore it for a holiday debutante ball. It was fun to do something different and daring without being tacky and over the top. Leather details dress it up. I would rent a size down to keep it sexy since it is conservative in the front. I am a thin girl that is well endowed and a 4 was great! Definitely recommend.

I absolutely loved wearing this dress - it fit perfectly and the fabric plus the leather gave it just the right amount of spice. I will say the shoulders are much more pronounced than they seem in the photo, but I do have narrow shoulders so that could be why. The fabric is quite nice and thick which made it hold its shape well all night. Would definitely rent again!

Trendy Sophisticate

This trendy pattern matched with a sophisticated style made me love this dress. The material is pretty thick, allowing it to keep its' structured form. I wore it to the wedding ceremony and felt appropriately dressed. It was pretty loose all around on me, but I didn't mind so much because it was comfortable, and held its' form, so no one could tell it was loose. I wish RTR had more 00.

I go back and forth between 10 or 12. I ended up choosing the 12 because the 10 was tight across the bust. This dress fit me very nicely and I received tons of compliments. I wore it with black tights and a pair of suede teal pumps and it really looked great.

Interesting Choice
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress to a company holiday party -- it was perfect because it was not glitsy and 'showy', but instead was subtly sexy and form fitting. The V-neck back is perfect, and the cap sleeves are great for pleasing the more conservative folk. I wore it with sheer black panty hose and black suede heels. I also wore red lipstick (Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 'La Fascinante'). Loved!
