Dodo Bar Or in Paris
I kept joking I looked like my skirt was made from a 70s couch but I love Dodo's prints and in Paris although fashion is king, I stood out from the grays, blacks and neutrals of Paris with my outrageous skirt! Was so comfortable and forgiving after eating lots of carbs! Very light weight fabric. I can see this in ever seeing with different pairings. 5 stars!!

White doesn't have to be boring
I needed a white top to go with several items for my vacation. This is the second time I've rented this top because it goes with everything and looks especially great with high waisted styles. Very cute details such as eyelid and peekaboo cut outs in front and back. Paired with Ulla Johnson skirt in photo.

Dessert Rose
Love all things Ulla Johnson and this skirt paired with the Ditsy Do top from Finder's Keepers, was a perfect match with the desert landscape on my trip to AZ. Keep in mind the skirt has a LOT of material so it can overwhelm a petite person like myself so while the size 4 probably would've given me better room at the waist, I'm glad I went with the 2. I "let out" the adjustable buttons at the waist for a large Mexican dinner later that night lol. And- it has pockets which is a plus!

Southwest hit
I wore this on a trip to Arizona and felt it was a perfect pick with the southwest landscape and the cooler weather at night. Keep in mind this was short on me and I'm 5'2, but the shortness was balanced nicely with the bulk of the sleeves.

Retro delight
Just look at the photo. You're going to stand out from the crowd in this dress! Very light weight fabric just watch the slit as if a strong breeze comes by, you're going to show off your lady parts! It's very long for petites even with 4 inch heels it was touching the ground. But I had so much fun wearing it! Would rent again!

Great for shorties! Dress up or down
Wore this to dinner with my boyfriend. I usually wear a 2 but probably could've gone with a 0 for this although I wasn't uncomfortable after a very large meal. It's much longer on me than the model since I'm 5'2. I dressed it down a bit but it does have some gold thread so I could see how it could be more glam with jewelry or heels. Very cute! Fabric and print reminded me of an Indian sari.

Winery Weekend
Fun 70s vibe coat. Fitted my petite frame well which is usually difficult with longer coats. No issues with sleeves being too long. Got TONS of compliments on it. The bright colors contrasted beautifully with the stark NY winter vineyards back drop in photos. Since the coat was the focal point of outfit I paired it with a simple black tissue turtleneck, jeans and boots. It was also quite warm!

Yellow Royalty
I rented this for a weekend touring wineries in NY. My boyfriend said it looked like something Megan Markle or Kate Middleton might wear so we were joking around that I need to be treated like royalty. It is not meant to be fitted but I'd size down if you're short like me to not get overwhelmed by fabric, which is loose and somewhat weighty. I love the Tibi simple, structured design with unique pleats in just the right places. I got tons of compliments on this one. Especially the color!

Unique color and design
Beautiful dress. Quality material, unique design. The pattern reminded me of fireworks almost. Wore it at home for New Year's Eve. The waist band was tight but comfortable before I ate anything but after I ate it was so tight it was uncomfortable. I probably could've went with a small but the top may have been too big.

Feminine, fun dress
Wore this out for dinner and drinks with my bestie. The cut was great as the extra material around waist covered my tummy. While I loved the cut of the dress I did feel the pattern was a little odd. Seemed outdated to me like 90s-ish but maybe that's considered "retro" now. I ended up wearing this twice, however because of the cute, flattering cut. Can easily be dressed up more, I dressed it down with a cardigan.

Compliments Galore!
Gorgeous, well made and unique from color combo to cut. Wore this for a day at the races. I received a lot of compliments from strangers! The only draw back was I rented a small and while I wear an xs in many dresses this was very, very tight in the rib cage area to the point I needed someone to sip me into it, but I suffered through because it looked so beautiful on. Definitely recommend!

Beautifully made boho skirt
Wore with a black cap sleeved body suit. Had a great 70s vibe. It was a little bit loose around the waist. If you're a zero the xs will probably be very loose. I'm a 2 and it was a little bit loose. I almost bought it I loved it so much!

Sexy romper!
Wore on vacation. Loved it. True to size, elastic waist allowed some wiggle room. Very short but ok since im petite. Backless but i have a small chest so i just went braless. Wore with nude patent sandals and a beige cardigan.

Fun beach dress
This is a much sexier dress in person. Very sheer, flowing material but since its unstructured you could probably size down. It came with a sash but i decided to use my own belt to define the waistline a little more. Received many compliments! Would definitely rent again!

Beautifully made, unique cut
Im short so I was skeptical about this skirt as long skirts make me look matronly. Beautifully made. I loved the pleated fabric panel in the different pattern than the rest of the skirt. Git many compliments at the office! Would look great in summer with bare legs and nude patent heels.

Cute dress but a little mishapen
Dress fit me in extra small however it looked a little worn and mishapen, making me look frumpy. Returned without wearing

Sexy and conservative
Great fit. Wore this to work and then to dinner with the boyfriend. Sexy but conservative enough for work. Lower cut top is balanced with a longer hem. Material is very high quality.

First Experience with RTR! Great dress, made beautifully
Although the xsmall was super tight, I think that is the way a Leger dress is supposed to fit as it sucks you in,in all the right places. I do agree with the other reviews that the top tends to be rather large. In the small while it fit ok elsewhere, the top was very loose and even with a padded bra I felt like it was falling down so went with the xtra small. It really is well made and the sizes I ordered were in excellent condition. I paired it with the Lulu Frost Gold Drift earrings. They are beautiful and complemented the dress perfectly!
