Great winter coat
Fit well. Very heavy and was too warm to wear until it got colder.

A little fitted
Rented the XL - I could wear, but it was tight in the shoulders (no hugging anyone) and just buttoned. Fit more like a 12 than a 14 IMO. Cute for work or school functions.

odd fit
Grabbed this for a weekend in Vegas. The fit was odd - I could never make it work no matter what I did. It is poorly made with the seams being not aligned. Don’t waste your time.

perfection
wore this to a wedding in Santa Barbara in November. It was unseasonably cold so the long sleeves and thick fabric were great. I loved this dress - color and fit are fantastic! Length hit just at my knees. The details were great.

Great dress for holidays
Received this dress as a backup once RTR realized the original dress I wanted would not make it to me in time (got lost in shipping - first time this has happened to me in over 25 rentals). Anyway, there was not much left in my size that I had shoes and undergarments to work with (I was on a 10 day vacation). I wore this to a wedding in Miami - the dress was nice and detailed, but a little heavy for the temperature. I would think about renting again for a holiday cocktail party. Gorgeous lace details. Just wasn't the dress of my dreams for my particular event.

PERFECT!!!
This was hard to send back. I rented this bag as my normal day-to-day LV is an over the shoulder and is very large (Artsy). I wanted something smaller and more compact to take with me to Napa on vacation. This was perfect - held 2 sunglasses in their cases (both costas), credit cards, phone, cash, mints, lip stick and still had room. The latch locks so it can't just open up and spill - perfect after 4 wine tastings! There is also a small pocket on the back where I ended up keep my phone so it would be at quick access. Shoulder strap adjustable.

Great dress for fall/winter
As other reviewers have noted, the material on this dress is very thick so it should only be worn in fall or winter. I paired with navy tights and boots for a date night. The shape is pretty boxy, which I liked, but wasn't the most flattering.

Don't rent if you have a larger rib cage!
Unfortunately, neither size I rented worked. I am usually a 6 in box stores and an 8 in designer. Currently I am 14 weeks pregnant so I thought this would be great at hiding the small bump which looks like I ate a burger. Unfortunately, the 8 was to tight in the rib cage and could not be zipped. The 10 fit, but was very tight. However, the 10 was too big in the arms and the straps would not stay up (even with fashion tape they gaped). If your rib cage is large and you have problems with straps falling down on some dresses anyway, this is not going to work on you. It was a beautiful color and I loved the fabric.

Elegant dress for bridal shower
I am usually a size 8 in box stores (JCrew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic) and a 10 in designer. I ordered the 8 and 10 for this dress and both fit. I wore the 10 as it was roomier, did not require Spanx (though I did anyway) and was a bit longer. The larger size also allowed the zipper to lay flat in the back (as many other reviewers pointed out, this can be a problem). I would have worn the 8 if I had been wearing the dress to something where I wanted to be a little sexier (wedding, reunion, etc.), but for a bridal shower I as hosting the larger size was great. This dress was relatively warm for a winter event in CT so I would not recommend for warmer climates in warm months. I received SO many compliments!

Great dress for winter baby shower!
I usually wear a 8 in box stores (JCrew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic) and a 10 in designer. However, some of my 8s are getting a little large on me as I start to slim down for a wedding in May. That being said, the medium fit perfectly and was not tight at all - I actually never even put the large on. It was a little short (I'm 5.7") but nothing I did not feel comfortable in. The arms fit well (that is my problem area and a lot of dresses with sleeves are tight in the arm and/or shoulder). I paired with navy tights (tried on skin tone, a lighter blue and cream but navy looked the best) and wore light nude rounded toe pumps. It was the perfect outfit for a winter baby shower in New England. I would rent again for an early spring wedding or something in the fall. The material was light enough where you could wear it for much of the year.

Cute colors, just wish it fit better
I am normally an 8 in box stores (Ann Taylor, J Crew, Banana Republic) and 10 in designer. Given the reviews, I ordered the 8 and 10. The 8 was not happening - it wouldn't zip. The 10 fit fine, but was a little tight along the ribcage. It wasn't uncomfortable, but wasn't the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. I also had to wear a bra with it to help fill out the top which looked insanely large without one. I paired with the Kate Spade necklace pictured with the dress and it was a great addition.

Low cut so be prepared!
While both the 8 & 10 fit me, I ended up going with the 10 because this dress was so low cut. With the 10, there was more room in the top so I actually used a safety pin around the halter so it was less revealing in the chest (pulled it up and pinned instead of using buttons for around the neck). The wedding was for my husbands coworkers - if it has been for a friend I might have gone with the 8, but didn't feel that much cleavage was appropriate for this group. Dress for great everywhere else.

Dress travels well & can be dressy or casual!
I rented this for a causal wedding where sundresses and shorts were encouraged (beach, low country boil theme). I picked this dress as the material would travel well (it was in my suitcase from CT to FL) and it did not fail. While it was very wrinkled from the suitcase, I simply placed it in the bathroom while I showered and the steam quickly got all the wrinkles out. The dress fit wonderfully and hid any bloat from days on the beach and drinking with friends all day! I wore this with flat sandals and my favorite earrings from RTR and it was perfect. I would rent again to something more formal - with heels and dressier jewelry, this would have been a completely different look.

Perfect for summer wedding
I usually wear an 8 in box stores (JCrew, Ann Taylor, etc.), but a 10 in designer. However, i felt like the size 8 in this dress fit me better. Don't get me wrong, both fit and could have worked if I needed it to but the 8 was smaller in the chest (I'm pretty small there) and was more snug around my curves which I wanted. I wore this to a summer wedding and it was perfect - the material was light and was easy to move/dance in. The only down side was that the fabric stained easily as it is a silk type material. The wedding I went to was a little loud and crazy and before the happy hour was over I had 2 people spill on my dress. Though the material dried quickly, it did leave a spot that I noticed (though I don't think anyone else could, but I have yet to see the professional pictures to look again). I rented with the Kendra Scott Abalone Deily Earrings and they were a perfect compliment to the dress!

Perfect for small clutch. It fit my iPhone, credit cards, money, lip gloss and a few other things. But it would not fit anythink else. I rented this as I was going to wear my black peep toe Louboutin with the Halston Herritage One Sided Dream Dress. The black clutch was great and I got a lot of compliments.

Rented these for a wedding to go with the Halston Herritage One Sided Dream Dress. These earrings were a perfect match and would actually go with so many things. They were not that heavy and I would 100% rent them again.

Great dress for cooler climate
This was the perfect dress to wear to a bridal luncheon on a dreary April in Connecticut. As many other reviewers have noted, the material is very thick which made it a good selection for a chilly day - this would not work if it were even remotely a warm day! I paired it with a jacket given the chill in the air. I am a size 8 in box stores (JCrew, Banana Republic, etc.) and am usually a 10 in designer. The 10 fit perfectly and was comfortable. I loved the pockets which came in handy since I ended up not taking my large day bag and opted for a smaller clutch (not pictured).

Agree with everyone - cute, short and runs a little small
I am normally a 8 in box stores(JCrew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic) and a 10 in designer. I rented the 10 and 12, but ended up wearing the 12 as it fit better in length and in the arms. Color was a little more blue than the picture - I ended up wearing a blue necklace that I had which matched perfectly. I did wear spanx stockings under just to keep everything in place (didn't need to, but needed to wear stockings anyway since it was only 20 out that day!), and the spanx came down mid thigh. Even though I pulled them up, they sometimes peaked out from the bottom of the dress. Perfect dress for a baby shower in late winter, spring, summer or even early fall.

Bringing sexy back!
I had been wanting to rent this dress for a while and a Valentines date with my husband seemed to be the perfect occasion. The dress was comfortable and looked fantastic on. I wore it with a large statement necklace, skin colored stockings and my black Louboutins (sorry no picture - we were running late to dinner and just never got around to it). I usually wear an 8 in box stores (JCrew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, etc.) and 10 in most designers so the 10 fit perfectly. The dress was sexy with the open back but still modest in the front - I don't think the babysitter even noticed the sexy back! I gave it 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1. the neck is a little weird and you have to play with it for a while to get it to lay right. 2. The material was much thinner than I had imagined. Not so thin it was see through on, but I did need to wear control top stockings to smooth everything out.

I ended up not wearing it because it ended up being cooler than we had anticipated the evening of the wedding (I wore my backup dress rental that was long sleeves), but this was super cute. The bow belt detail makes the dress!

Great dress for fall wedding!
This dress was perfect for a fall wedding up in Cape Cod. It was actually my backup dress, but because it fit perfectly and was so comfortable I ended up wearing this one. I thought the snug fit was going to make me self conscious (I am still trying to loose the baby weight), but it actually really showed off my curves. The only bad part was that you could not wear a regular bra with it because the straps showed due to the collar being so wide. If I would have thought about it, I would have packed my bra that has the clear straps which would have probably worked. Instead I just grabbed my strapless Spanx which smoothed everything out.
