Cute in theory
This runs very large/oversized. Love the blue color and anchor. Tried it with skirts and shorts but just couldn't make it work - looked very frumpy. Might be cute with white denim, but I found it too warm to wear with denim in summer. Wasn't flattering on me.

Cheeky & fun!
Received lots of compliments on this fun bag during a recent cruise! The red satin lining is a great touch. It's larger than I expected and roomy enough for a wallet, cell phone, hand lotion, etc. It is a bit heavy for its size due to the beading, and the handle is stiff (doesn't bend or collapse), but overall I loved it.

Efficient but basic
Extremely functional day bag: crossbody strap, good size and shape for holding everything I need while running errands, but overall pretty basic and not particularly beautiful. The tan color is darker than I expected, offset with a black handle and bottom. Leather is nice quality. Fine for daytime, but not really transitional as an evening bag.

Perfect summer skirt
Love this versatile skirt - can be easily dressed up or down. I'm a regular Jenni Kayne customer and found that it runs big compared to their other skirts (I usually wear a medium in JK bottoms, but prefer the small here).

Runs very small; couldn't wear. Would have needed to size up at least two sizes.

Beautiful bright colors, comfortable, unique
Loved this dress! The fabric is light and comfortable -- perfect for a destination wedding or vacation. I rented the 6R and 4L and ended up wearing the 6R. The 6R was just a tad big, but it was comfortable for a long night of dancing and the length was perfect for up to 3" heels or wedges on my 5'6" frame. The 4L fit and made my waist look smaller, but it wasn't as comfortable and was much. much too long. To avoid fussing with the strap all night, I wore it as a regular one strap rather than trying to keep the double strap around my upper arm -- either look is pretty. You can't tell for certain from the RTR photos, but the dark detail on the dress is black, which I loved. The overall color palette is gorgeous and could be dressed up or down -- it would work with just about any shoe or bag. A must-rent!

Runs small -- size up!
I rented this dress as a last minute backup when my original order was delayed. I am usually a 6 in BCBG, but this dress runs small! As other reviewers have warned, it is very tight around the waist and rib cage. The colors are dark -- black, blue, and red, with silver thread (I wouldn't have worn it to a spring wedding, but maybe in the fall). The R length was long on my 5'6" frame -- could have gone up to 4" heels or wedges. Thankfully, the original dress I had rented -- the BCBG Inga Abstract Maxi (similar style but completely different colors) -- arrived in time and I wore that instead (in a 6R, which was a bit loose!).

Bright & comfortable!
I rented this dress as a backup when another rental was delayed, but didn't end up wearing it. It is a stunning coral color, and the fabric is lovely and light. I liked that it came with a sash, though it was also cute without a belt. The size was perfect -- it was comfortable, not too big or too small -- and the faux wrap was modest. The R length was long enough on my 5'6" frame for up to 3" heels or wedges, though I think I could have gotten away with flats. Would definitely rent again for a vacation or beach wedding!

Gorgeous colors!
I rented this dress as a last minute backup when my other rentals were delayed, but didn't end up wearing it. I'm usually a 6 in BCBG -- the size 4 fit and I could have worn it for an evening, but it was a bit snug around my waist and lower rib cage. Regular length was perfect for 3" heels or wedges (I'm 5'6"). So, I'd get the 6R next time. Loved the colors and beautiful silk fabric -- would be gorgeous at a garden wedding!

Easy and comfortable!
Was perfect for a destination wedding rehearsal dinner. Beautiful bright coral color, nice fabric, very comfortable. Runs a bit large for Shoshanna. Would have been cute belted, too. I'm 5'6" and the regular length was perfect with flat sandals (just skimmed the floor), but would have been a bit short with heels. It is a somewhat casual dress -- wouldn't wear to a dressier wedding, but would wear to a beach wedding, on vacation, or on a date. Wish it was still available to purchase from Shoshanna -- would get a lot of use out of this dress!

Beauty in the details
Loved this dress! Wore it to my husband's 15 year high school reunion, and it really could not have been more perfect. The lace overlay is gorgeous, as is the back detail. It's so much more special than your typical LBD and is appropriate for practically any type of event (business, black tie, semi-formal). The fit is very flattering; I felt comfortable all evening. I would purchase this dress in a second if it was still available from Milly. Rent it, you won't be disappointed!

Gorgeous and fun!
Loved this dress! The colors are vibrant and the fabrics feel rich. It was a bit chilly when I wore it, so I paired it with an orange cardigan. It has an easy, preppy feel, more appropriate for daytime than evening. The skirt is unlined, so I wore a slip. As others have noted, choose a size to accommodate your bust, otherwise the top gapes between the buttons. Regular bra straps show, so be prepared to wear a strapless or halter bra. Perfect for a brunch, shower, horse race, spa day, etc. Would rent it again.

Neither size worked!
After my original choice became unavailable, I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal & dinner in 36R and 38R. Unfortunately, neither size fit! I was able to zip up the 36, but it was too tight around the rib cage. The 38 was too big all over, and the sweetheart neckline area kept rolling down. I can't comment on the length, because I took both sizes off before even noticing. The dress does have positives: the silk fabric is lovely and light, the blues are rich, and the ruffles fall beautifully. Overall it was a disappointment.

Lovely color & pattern
Rented this dress for a semi-formal event (parents' lunch) leading up to my wedding. Loved the pinkish-coral color, seashell pattern, and unique sleeve length, and received lots of compliments on it. Overall, though, the dress was a bit boxy, even with the belt, and felt a bit short. Liked it well enough, but probably would not rent it again.

Great for daytime events!
I rented this dress to wear to an event leading up to my wedding, and ended up wearing it to a spa day with bridesmaids and again to our post-wedding Sunday brunch when another RTR dress didn't work for me. It's very comfortable, I liked the slight weight of the fabric and the knee length, and the color is absolutely lovely. Both the 2 and 4 fit, but I went with the 4 because I received the wrong belt for the 2, and the size 4 belt looked a bit too large on it. The 4 was also more comfortable for all-day wear.
