Cute print/ weird fabric
The fabric is more like a sweatshirt material which is kind of odd

Super small
This was close to comically unflattering on me. As other reviewers noted, the flap/ tie hits at a tough spot. It was also way too short and tight to wear, even tho I like a mini dress look.

One of my top favorite rentals ever
I wore this as maid of honor for a rehearsal dinner where I gave a toast and I have never felt so confident. I rented again for a black tie event and again, felt so great. For reference I have a shorter torso, larger chest, carry weight in mid section, and not-so-big in the hips or legs. This is SUCH an easy wear due to the flattering cut; the twist @ the mid section lets you snack away all night without fear, V neckline is super flattering, and the fabric is thick enough to flatter but not chunky. I think it would work for a variety of body types too since the fabric has a stretch to it and is not clingy.

Another hawt plaid mini from RTR!
I have been really enjoying all the plaid skirts RTR has to offer this winter and this is another gem. The material is a little bit on the bulky side so prepare to wear with a slim fit top and tights. The fit/fabric didn't deter me from wearing but it was definitely more of a chunky boucle than a tightly woven plaid. Color is cute too and b/c it's not Christmas-y or school-girl colors it doesn't look juvenile.

Runs a bit small but work-able with the right undergarments.
I had rented this in a Large and it was too big, rented in a Medium and it fit in length, booty, and sleeves but the chest and waist were a bit small. I am large chested so not shocked here. I tied the waist string around just once and knotted it tightly, safety pinned right below the bust, and wore with a navy bandeau over my usual bra and it fit fine. I got a lot of compliments @ the office. The color is really pretty and stands out in the field of usual black dresses. I'd size slightly up if you have a chest, or wear normal size but prepare to make some ad hoc adjustments.

Fun & funky sweater that isn't TOO wild
Loved the stripe detail and print of the sweater. It is a bit on the bulky side, but worn buttoned up the right bra and skinny jeans/leggings and it won't add too much bulk. I did find that it hit my waist shorter than it did on the model; when paired with jeans that hit right below the waist, the sweater hit about 2 inches below the jeans' button. It still worked but just might want to keep in mind it would be tough to pair with cotton leggings. I'd wear again on a winter weekend. The color and pattern looked great with chunky gold jewelry.

I rent this over & over again. Perfect dress for work-to-drinks.
I've rented this a number of times and truly love it. It's a super high quality dress that's hits the middle of the venn diagram of cool, chic, lady-like, edgy. I often wear to work and then out for dinner drinks. Paired with huge colorful earrings for a Saturday night and it looked good for that too. I think I am right between sizes 6 and 8, in that the 8 is a bit big and the 6 is a bit snug. I have rented the 8 and flipped the waistband over to cinch the waist and shorten it, and also worn the 6 with control top tights. Great flattering dress for a range of uses!

Updated take on the Clueless vibe
I initially rented in an 8 and it was too big in the waist. Typically I size up in skirts but wound up going with the 6 in this. I LOVED the cut and length. It looked great with a tucked-in sweater, tights & booties. I tend to carry weight in the midsection and this hit @ the perfect point on the waist to flatter. I think it would be good for a lot of body types too, as the skirt sort of flares in subtle bell shape. The plaid check is really small too so it isn't overtly school-girl esque.

Another whimsical & cute Reformation dress
Knowing that Reformation runs small on me, I sized up. Normally I'm a 6-8 and the 10 fit well. The sleeves, bow at the neck, nip at the waist, and flair of the skirt made for a SUPER flattering fit. I am short torso'd and carry my weight in my mid section, and sometimes Reformation dresses don't work for me in terms of the stomach region. However this was a great look and I felt really confident. Think it would be good for a range of body types too.

Fab pattern, great flattering fit, and high quality material
The cut of this skirt was perfect for me; short enough to rock that cute retro 90s-Cher look, but also not obscenely mini. The fabric is a great weight and combined with the cut it was super flattering. I carry my weight in my belly and was worried that the fold-over might accentuate but it smoothed me out. I wore with a black tucked in sweater and got tons of compliments. Loved it!

On the big/ baggy and bulky side
The pattern is great but I found it ran a bit large for me. The fabric is also a heavy brocade/ embroidery and with the ruffles, it was rather bulky. Size down and I would say plan to wear with a slim sweater or tucked in tee.

Perfection in coat form - loved so much that I bought it!
Rented this in Medium (I'm a true medium) and it was super cute and cozy but the sleeves hung past my hands and the front was super baggy. I swapped for a Small which was a more tailored look, loved it, and wound up buying it! It's not SUPER warm, and the front closes with hook-and-eye closures rather than a zipper, so it's not best for frigid temps. But it's adorable and I feel great in it.

Super easy dress to feel put-together but comfortable. Toughened up the flare cut with black moto booties. Color is more navy with arms green stripes than the photo depicts. Would wear again for a casual weekend day or for work.

I wore this out to a few shows and to dinners. The pattern is cool and the cut of the neckline is really flattering. Pretty short to wear sans tights but could also be good with some over the knee boots.

Beautiful flattering cut and fit
This item is so much better in person than in photos. I had it rented for about a month and maybe wore it 10 times. The cut of the waist is so so so flattering- you can eat like an entire pizza and still look great in this. I wore to work with flats and out to dinners with chunky booties.

Great piece but ran small
I'm usually smack dab in the size mediums but this was too small from the ribcage up. I couldn't zip it up. Since he cut was flattering and overall style cute, I will try to rent in the next size up (large).

Great pattern, cut and overall style. However he too didn't meet for me. It will look fine either with a tank top under or a sweater over.

This jacket is incredible. It's sturdy and warm and also incredibly cool looking. I feel invincible in it. The cut is awesome - it's long and tailored. It's tough n cool without being over-the-top.

Great top that can transition from office to the bars!
Great high quality and high end top! It is a fairly boxy fit - I am large chested and I wore a small and thought the fit was right. However it is cut and tailored well so does not look sloppy at all. Great piece to mix into work wardrobe with black pants, or looks cool with jeans.
