Backless!!
This dress is backless - RTR should really include a photo of the back or make note in the description

Unlined
RTR should really get in the habit of including whether a dress is lined or unlined. This one is unlined AND super sheer, so a slip doesn’t even look good. Swing and a huge miss!

Not as described!
This dress is not white, it is not cream, it is not ivory, it is not eggshell, it is not ecru, it is not blush, it is PINK. (For example, it makes that blue & green floral blush Prabal Gurung dress look like a pure white) What kind of editing did RTR do to their pictures? It's a perfectly fine dress but if you're looking for something white-adjacent, move along!

Cute but smelly
Adorable jacket, tons of compliments, super warm. Size down for sure, it'll still be oversized but not unflatteringly so. However this jacket stank to high heavens. A truly nauseating combo of BO and cigarettes. Really, really gross.

SO BIG
When will I learn my lesson with Tory Burch? Size down. At least one. This was so boxy and almost went down to my knees. Ended up wearing it to work anyways because the knit is so thick and cozy, felt great on a cold day. Would def rent again in a XS.

boyfriend said I looked like I was on little house of the prairie
he was only slightly kidding but I can see it. Pretty length, gorgeous fabric and print, highlights a small waist, but the PUFF AT THE SHOULDERS - agh! Hated that. Made me look sooo much wider up top. If it weren't for that i would have loved it. A little static-y. The length teetered on inappropriate; I wore it with black opaque tights to work and felt fine, then went bare legged for drinks after.

gorgeous - size down!
I'm a reliable M in parker and this was swimming on me. Returned and got an S and it was much better. However, the fabric is silky and gorgeous. Not super sheer - cami not necessary so long as you wear a nude bra. Looks great with jeans or tucked into a leather skirt!

great, just not what I was looking for
I'm a big Parker fan and this is a great dress. The knit is less cozy and more...sleek, I guess, than I thought, but it's still beautiful. Really flattering, though if you aren't a fan of your stomach or abs it might not be your favorite. Didn't end up wearing just because it wasn't what I was looking for, but would've worn for a different occasion! The length would've been appropriate for work.

Pretty - a little big
I'm a pretty standard M in Shoshanna but this ran a little big, could've easily done a small. Can wear any bra with it as the body is unlined and the V isn't too deep. Might look a little tent-y on bigger chests but the fabric, print, color, and silhouette is great!

Revealing yet family friendly????
Just a beautiful dress. The fabric, the lace, the drape, the neckline. I was concerned that my bf's conservative family would think I'm a hussy but I received endless compliments all night. Wear your hair up to show off the back! I went with nipple petals and fashion tape to prevent any Janet Jackson moments. A true old Hollywood type of look.

Backup turned into first choice
Picked this as an impulse backup for a wedding when my initial choice became unavailable at the very last minute. So glad I did - this dress is so flattering (swear it took 5 inches off my waist) and so comfortable. The pleats stayed crisp all night, I felt so fun twirling around on the dance floor, and the silk is just gorgeous. I could've easily gone braless but I ended up doing some push-up sticky boobs to fill out the chest a bit more. The straps were a little loose but that's to be expected with a rental that's been worn before. Great spring/summer wedding dress!

It's...fine
Material is a lot more flimsy than I was suspecting and looks pretty cheap. I sized up for length concerns but it was still shorter than I'm comfortable with. A resounding meh.

I LOVE THIS TOP
True to Tanya Taylor fashion, this runs small but boy is it gorgeous. Totally fine with a nude bra - despite the sheer-ish appearance it's not at all. While at dinner with my boyfriend, someone came up to me and said "I'm sorry, I've been waiting until it looked like your conversation died down to come over but I'm about to leave and just had to tell you that your shirt is stunning!" I will rent this over and over.

Perfect work dress
Gorgeous, structured without being stiff, flattering, keeps you warm in a chilly office! Bigger busts may want a camisole underneath, but it was fine for me. I honestly prefer this to DVF wrap dresses! Would size down next time, though the L didn't look sloppy.

Floaty and romantic
Worn for a long weekend at the beach. Bra situation was tricky (I'm a small B and definitely needed a sticky bra, the fabric isn't sheer but it's not structured enough to keep your boobs from looking saggy). Beautiful dress though!

Workplace showstopper
Perfect fit - looks short on the model but I'm 5'7" and it was a tasteful 3-4 inches above my knee. Got a million compliments! Would be leery if you have a larger chest.

Instant classic
Work appropriate but pair it with a sexier shoe and you have yourself a very french-girl-in-summer date night outfit. TTS, hits right at the waist, V low enough to feel feminine without revealing anything. Compliments from boyfriend, boss, stranger on the train, everyone. Love this!

Want to keep this forever!
Equipment blouses have that perfect V neck length - not low enough to slip nip, but not high enough to feel prudish. This is no exception and the print is just adorable.

Flirty!
Perfect date night top. Paired it with a nude lace bralette and didn't feel overexposed at all. Tons of compliments. Really flirty (especially when you're up close) but from a distance, super classy and professional looking. Could easily slip a black cami underneath and make it Office appropriate!

Pretty and delicate
Not my favorite rental though it's still a beautiful top. I didn't have the issue with the snap coming undone like others, but I have a small bust. More blue than I was expecting which I ended up loving! My torso is longer than most so it felt a little shorter than me than I would've liked, especially when the elastic waist rode up a little. Really appreciated that it was lined so I didn't have the "nude bra that might be obvious, black bra that might look slutty, or cami that makes it look prudish" debate. Great for date night, the deep v is sexy!

LOVE
I could've afforded to size down, but this is my favorite work dress. If the discount to buy via Unlimited were a steeper, I'd have bought it in a second. Swingy, super comfortable, lightweight, flattering, doesn't need to be ironed or steamed, on trend, feminine, transitions to night, and as conservative as you want it to be - I wore it with one button undone for work, then undid another when I went out for drinks afterwards. The only negative is how many times I had to hold down my skirt when walking outside on a windy day!

Summertime perfection
Runs small and slightly cropped, but this is my perfect summer shirt. I wore it for a daytime party on a warm day and was so happy. I actually just wore a nude lace bralette underneath and didn't feel over-exposed or inappropriate at all. The shirt hangs far enough away from your body that the "cutouts" don't really reveal anything (the bralette I wore was super close to my skintone, and I don't think a typical bra would have worked - that standard shiny material would've been too noticeable underneath). Got tons of compliments, plus it's comfortable in the heat! Would totally rent again.

Perfect for a night out!
Wore this tucked into a leather skirt for dinner and drinks. Love the low neckline (though others don't seem to!) and the silk is gorgeous, although it runs a bit short - had I worn it untucked, it would've been teetering on the edge of cropped on my long torso. Looks super expensive and flows beautifully.
