Looked a little frumpy
Didn’t really do anything for me. Maybe the small would have been better. Kinda looks like a Maine sweater. It was warm and soft tho!

Not quite ideal
I’m long torso-ed ( perhaps that comes into play here) but I don’t think I would feel comfortable wearing this out because when I lifted up my arms, the dress moved up and my boobs would be exposed. I had it on to wear for a dinner date at my place, and I’m sure my date would have loved it (it looked beautiful) but I’m not sure I would have been completely comfortable.

Meh
A little too boxy (like someone else said, I believe). I usually like my leather jackets somewhat fitted (and feminine) but this just wasn't flattering. It was also kind of thin all around - not sure how warm it would be. I'll likely send it back without wearing it. Perhaps if I had gotten a Medium instead of a large it would have been better.

It's pink!
I thought this was a black and white dress, but it's a pink/lavender shade. The color wasn't a flattering one for me. The dress in general was not flattering on me. Wouldn't wear it. :(

Very comfortable, lux looking - came in handy
The fabric is beautiful! Looks/feels lux. Perfect long length. Beautiful back (can't wear bra). I guess the top front wasn't the most flattering. Also, I'm wondering if a Small would have been better than a medium as far as the top went, but then I'd be a little worried it might be too tight around the stomach? It came in very handy, I wore it for a work event and just around town. Kind of a perfect winery dress. :)

Not flattering or comfortable
I put it right back in the bag. Like other reviews say, it's too tight up top (under the arm, neck) but then looks like a bag. I couldn't even make it work if I wanted to. Maybe if you're tiny/super skinny. So not flattering on me!

Too short! Kind of like a little girl's dress
I had to wear shorts as the dress was too short (I have a long torso). There's a lot of room under it, very airy. I only ended up wearing it because I needed something to bumble around the neighborhood in. I don't think I'd go out in it where people I knew would see me. I could see how it could be cute if you had a short torso and long legs and were small on top.

Love but can only wear once
I really liked this sweater. I felt sexy in it. I think going with your smallest size will work best. There's just too much material if it's large and it won't lay right. It's dry clean only, so I was only able to wear it once. Because it's tight fitting and you're not wearing anything underneath except for a bra, the armpits aren't so fresh after a wear. I like to wear my RTR items multiple times, and I usually do - but not with this piece.

Booty shorts!
Not flattering on me because they are super short! Couldn't wear. They're shorter than in the model pic. Otherwise, very stretchy and comfy. The 29 was the right size otherwise (I've been wearing size 30 in the Hudson Remi High Rise jeans - also RTR).

Couldn't get it to look right and also be comfortable
The dress only looked flattering if I tied the tie by the back of my neck very tight, but when I did that, the sleeves were digging into my armpits (too tight). If I left the tie in the back looser, the poufy sleeves stuck out in a very unflattering way. I'm bummed because I like the elasticity of the dress and I can see that it would be comfortable, but it just didn't work out for me.

Very nice but runs very small!
It looked super cute out of the bag, but I could also tell right away it wasn't going to fit. It looked tiny! I'm usually a 6 in a dress, more often size small, sometimes Medium, but the size 8 here was too short and I couldn't snap it shut. It closes by snaps, which I imagine could be precarious. I imagine the 10 might even be small on me... I might try a 12.

Beautiful, festive, expensive looking dress.
Stunning dress, although there were a few fit issues. I wore a tank top under it because otherwise a little too much of my chest would have been exposed. And I'm pretty sure my bra straps were visible, but it wasn't a big deal. I also wore bike shorts underneath for extra comfort, which worked out well. It's a thin, luxurious, silky dress. Very fun, festive and flattering.

Not flattering
I rented a size Small (I'm usually a small or a medium). This fit huge on me! I have broad shoulders, so anything that adds bulk around the shoulders usually isn't flattering for me, and that was the case with this dress. The sleeves kind of puff out on the sides of the shoulders. Also, there's a collar thing, which I didn't notice. You can see by the photo, there's not much shape, very flowy. Maybe if I got an XS it would have been better, but I don't think I'll try again.

Love! The perfect summer dress.
The fit is easy and wonderful. The straps don't slide off, it's as comfortable as can be. It's thin summer material (easy breezy) and the pattern is awesome and hip. I love the bright colors, even tho the colors do maybe look a little faded? It's kinda hard to tell if they're faded or that's how the colors started. Anyway, if it were cheaper I would 100% buy it. I've worn it two days in a row, and I'm going to wash it and continue to wear it!

Stunning, feminine, and expensive looking.
The colors are so vibrant and beautiful! The fabric is delicate, high end fabric. The dress is expensive and it looks expensive! Like others, I also had an issue with a little opening between the buttons in not a great place, but I put a little piece of double sided tape there and that fixed it. I wore tight shorts underneath. This is the perfect dress to wear to a fancy rooftop brunch. It's so beautiful. At first I didn't realize it came with a belt until I looked at reviews, and then I went hunting for the belt in my RTR bag and found the little pouch it was in. I can definitely see renting this dress multiple times. Loved it.

Beautiful and modern/hip.
Well made, stylish dress! Thin silk material. High quality. I didn't think it was see thru, maybe a little bit but not an issue for me. I love the side slips. I think it looks quite expensive. Easy to wear. I wore black bike shorts under it, don't think I needed to, but for extra comfort, I did, and you wouldn't be able to tell that I was wearing bike shorts underneath.

Too short for me!
I wasn't sure this would work for me, but I gave it a try. The crop is too short (I have a long torso); if I were to lift up my arms, you would see my bra. It also looked a little boxy on me. I also thought the sequins near the neck were itchy... Even with all this, it still looked kinda cute. If I was skinnier around my stomach area that was showing, I probably would have wore it out.

Dizzying and unflattering.
The puffy shoulders did not look good on me. Made my shoulders look very broad. The material is like a stiffish summer cotton. I thought it was going to be more of a soft jersey. The black and white stripes made me a little dizzy looking in the mirror. I didn't end up wearing... just not flattering on me. Seemed like a cool concept. Perhaps someone with a bigger chest and less broad shoulders would look great in it.

Great classy, expensive, sexy comfortable dress!
Very comfortable and flattering. Beautiful soft material. You can dress it up or down but it's definitely not a lounging around your apartment dress. I was able to wear a bra, no issues with it showing. For some reason the neck was folded down and sewn together. I would have preferred it be left as is for more of the choker neck coverage look.

Easy, airy, comfortable pretty summer dress.
It's slightly see-thru if the sun is shining through (bottom half) but it wasn't an issue for me. A fantastic easy and comfortable pretty dress. Perfect for a hot day. Looks special/expensive. If I owned this I could see it being a go-to for brunches, etc. all summer long. Small was perfect size; I'm usually a size 6.

Like a parachute, a thick one!
Not flattering! Like a huge parachute. The fabric is heavy, felt kinda like felt when I took it out of the bag. Not sure it's the best material for what is clearly a summer dress! I didn't end up wearing it, wouldn't even be cute under a leather jacket in say the Fall. Just a lot of heavy fabric.

Liked, didn't love. Not as flattering as I would like.
Love the vibrant colors. I might have done better with one size down (I'm usually a 6 and got like an 8 or 10 in this based on the reviews). Just not the most flattering, perhaps because I got the wrong size. That being said, it looks expensive and is a beautiful dress. Comfortable except the straps fall down. I might rent this again in a smaller size. It really is quite beautiful.

Cute but uncomfortable for me (no stretch).
I thought they looked great but as soon as I put them on, I kinda couldn't wait to take them off. The fit seemed to be right but there's no give and they're tight. When I was walking, sitting I felt constricted. If I were 5 lbs lighter maybe they would have been perfect???

Not flattering on me (for broad shoulders).
I was so excited to get this jacket, and it is beautiful, but it wasn't flattering me. It felt like the correct size but the shoulders looked like 80s style shoulders on me. I have broad shoulders and sometimes bulky shouldered tops/jackets don't work for me.

Very cute but I didn't end up wearing it because it wasn't comfortable. There's no stretch and it was tight across my back and if I were to raise my arms up. Too bad because it was very cute!

Love! Super cute albeit somewhat casual.
Cool, hip easy jean. Very flattering from the back with no pockets. Somewhat flattering from the front. Not very high waisted, but high enough. I have a long torso so the higher the waist, the better. My only issue is there isn't a ton of stretch and they felt a tiny bit constricting at times. They're a little thick so seem like a casual jean. I think they'd look great with a cropped tee and sneakers for an every day outfit. I loved them and would consider buying if the price went down.

Super cute and comfortable and even ok for broad shoulders, but short!
I have a long torso so a little part of my belly was showing in this top even with high waisted jeans. I still loved the top though. Soft and thickish material, the colors popped and in general it was pretty flattering. I usually don't look good in puffy shouldered tops because I have somewhat broad shoulders, but this seemed to work!

Loved this dress! Flattering and comfortable. I wore a tank top and leggings underneath for warmth in the winter. Clingy but not too clingy... i didn't feel self conscious. If I owned this I imagine I'd wear it all the time. Wore it with white sneakers one night and patent leather boots another.

Flattering, fun, stylish, great color, comfortable!
Fit beautifully. Super fun. The side was long and swept the floor for me (i didn't wear heels with it) but I tucked that part into the cut out while I was walking to my destination. The dress actually looked quite hip up like that. i wore a padded strapless bra underneath because otherwise you can kind of see everything. I think it's a really fun dress. I dressed it down a bit wearing boots and wore it to a bar for a party. I felt gorgeous in it.

Love this sweater! Very warm (I did wear a Uniqlo heattech shirt under it). I wouldn't consider myself a small person per se but the small fit perfectly, was even a tad long in the sleeves and at the bottom (it looked good/flattering tho). I think it's the best size for me. The color is a plum color,,, more of a purple than say a maroon or rust color.
