Perfection
Wore this to my son’s school benefit and it was perfect. I’m between a 2 and a 0 and I liked the 0 better. The top is tight and might be hard for bigger chests. Dressed it up with heeled sandals but would look super cute with flat sandals too. Love!!!

A special top
Really love this top. I wish it was a bit longer— I’d never wear it untucked as it is— but I wore it with high waist jeans tucked in and loved it, got a bunch of compliments.

Didn’t wear. Went a size up and still wasn’t the right amount of baggy. Too grandpa for me.

Perfect everyday bag
Love Bembien!! This bag doesn’t look too bulky but holds sooo much. Color is lovely. I’ll probably end up buying. Haven’t stopped using it since it arrived.

Cute style
I’m between a 24 and 25 and there is no way I could have fit the 24. So I’d say size up. The crossover style is cute! I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. A little long on my short self, but cuffing looks fine. These fit so well. Idk if they’re flattering but I like them.

Cozy and chic
Got a small— would even go for medium next time because I feel like this would be a good oversized look. Wore it with a button down underneath and it didn’t lie exactly the way I wanted it to but it still looked cute. Super soft and cozy and love the twist on a traditional turtleneck.

Beautiful and unique
The colors of this sweater are so vibrant and the style is so unique. Loved the puffy sleeves and the keyhole. I have zero chest so wasn’t concerned about a bra, but I can see how this top might be tricky for someone with a larger set ;) went with a small for a bigger fit and am glad I did— an XS would have worked, but different look. Suuuuper warm— like almost too warm, but great for cold days.

Just flashy enough!
I loved this dress. I felt so good in it, and it was just the right amount of sparkle — subtle and super chic. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get on. I suggest getting the slip on first, then the dress—they're connected, but it's possible. I got my usual size and the length and fit were perfect but if you have any boobs at all this dress might not work; the slip is super tight around the chest area. Would def rent again!

Such a fun, unique jumpsuit
Absolutely adorable. Love the elastic bottomed legs. May be tough for taller girls. Runs TTS but there's all this extra fabric in the tummy area which was a little weird. Didn't bother me too much, though. Would totally rent again. Wore with a turtleneck underneath to make it winter appropriate.

Perfect for a fall date night
I absolutely loved this dress - the fit was perfect and it's very unique looking. I'm 5'2 or 5'3 and the length was perfect. I could have worn flats (but didn't). I used tape for my chest/to keep the dress from showing off my goods and it worked perfectly - loved the elegant neckline. Also! There are clips in the bust area if you want to just clip it closed. Sooo I gotta say this too - the dress was damaged in multiple places. Big hole at the bottom, the belt was tattered - RTR needs to do a better job at inspecting the dresses. Second time this month it's happened to me. I wore it anyway and they are refunding me, but it was super annoying.

My ideal dress
It's so hard to find a perfect dress for cold weather, but this is definitely it. I ended up wearing it on the shoulder (getting a little tired of the off-the-shoulder everything) - it looks nice that way, too. I'm pretty short - 5'2 - but the length was nice (see pic); so would be more tea-length for you taller ladies. I'm always an XS and this was no exception but it's definitely somewhat smaller than a lot of the XS out there, so maybe order a S for your backup if you're unsure. It flows beautifully and I felt comfortable and confident in it. Will definitely rent again!

Just perfect
I usually shy away from strapless, as I always feel like I need to tug it up, but I didn't have that problem with this jumpsuit. The built in bra is awesome -- so flattering -- and it's tight at the top but not so much that it squeezes the skin (not a good look!). The front bust part is so pretty, it rises off the skin and looks really sophisticated. Jumpsuit just fit so well. I'm only 5'2 or 5'3 so it hit me at the ankle, but it looked fine! Would definitely rent again.

Just perfect
This dress is gorgeous. The material is thick but not heavy -- I didn't wear a bra or Spanx and was totally fine. You can kind of show as much or as little stomach as you want -- you just have to place the gap the way you want it. I'm usually a 2, sometimes a 0, and the 2 was perfect, so I'd say it runs a little small, but not much. I was a little nervous about getting this dress for a wedding, but it was totally appropriate. Loved it and would definitely rent it again.

Goddess-like
First off - this dress is different from the photo. There's no blue band at the bottom; rather, the whole thing is the floral pattern. I didn't care, though, because I LOVE THIS DRESS. I wore it on my bachelorette weekend and adored it so much that I ended up buying it for myself (my friends made me, I swear). It's so flattering, comfy, girly, and the material is really nice. The neckline with the buttons is so pretty, and it's fitted up top with a flowy bottom. I'm 5'2 and wore it with 2-3 inch heels and it was perfect, so if you're tall, you'll probably have to wear flats. A keeper!

Just okay
I rented this for my bachelorette weekend in Austin. It's much brighter and (if possible!) even busier in person, and it looked okay on me, but I have other stuff that I like better, so I opted not to wear it. I don't know that it'll look good on anyone who's relatively fair-skinned; it just washed me out too much.

Fun, elegant, and special!
This is a gorgeous dress. I wasn't sure if I was going to love it, but I gave it a shot and am so glad I did! The material feels and looks wonderful - it's very thick but flattering - and the blue embroidery is so bright and pretty. Super comfortable and warm - a great dress for winter. I'd say it runs on the smaller side - I usually take an XS and I liked the small better in this one as it was a bit longer (the XS was pretty short).

so different, so special!
I LOVE this dress - definitely one of the ones I was really sad to return. Fit is perfect - flowing but fitted where it should be. The back is gorgeous - such pretty draping. I'm 5'2 and with 3-4 in heels the length was great. Material is gorgeous, and the print is so special. I'll definitely rent this one again.

the perfect dress for a beach wedding
this dress is so much fun! The colors are gorgeous and the fit was perfect. I'm usually an XS, and the XS fit perfectly. The XSR was the perfect length for me with 3 inch heels, and I'm 5'2, so be aware that it's a bit short. It made me feel so pretty - get it!

Didn't end up wearing this one...
I wanted so badly to love this dress, but it just didn't happen for me. It's very ill-fitting - tight and an awkward length, at least for someone shorter like me (5'2). It'd probably work well for someone very tall and thin, but that may be it. Also, in the pictures it looks like it has a cool hood/cowl thing going on - it looks better online. I have to say, though, that RTR customer service was AMAZING - they were able to get me a new dress asap and free of charge. The best!!! (And I loved the new dress.)

I wore this for my birthday dinner and loved it!
I agree with everyone that the sleeves are ridiculously tight! I'm semi-okay with my arms, and I felt like they were being squeezed to death in this dress-- not comfortable or cute! I don't think it looked that bad, but I thought about it more than I'd have liked to. Otherwise, though, the dress is super flattering - perfect length and the material is really nice. So, I'd say if you're very self-conscious about your arms - do NOT get this dress. Otherwise, go for it!

Such a pretty dress! Very feminine and demure, but still fun.
Fit was true to size - I'm pretty much always a 2 in dresses. There seemed to be extra room in the stomach area, which was a little weird - it poufed out, which was not the most flattering, but that's my only complaint. I'm short - 5'2 - and the dress hit at the knee, so I might not recommend it for someone shorter than me. I love the cap sleeve and the top fits perfectly (although, as others have said, the sleeve is a little restricting, but I danced just fine!). Definitely recommend.

Beautiful, but way too long
Okay, this dress is beautiful. The color, the style, the material - all fantastic. But it is SO LONG. I did a makeshift hem with fashion tape and wore 3-4 inch heels and it was STILL dragging. I could never get it again - it was a real pain for most of the night. Would be great if RTR would specify these sorts of things. I'm short - 5'3 - but really, unless you're 5'7 or above, I wouldn't even try it.

A beautiful, elegant dress
I loved this dress. I'm 5'2 or 5'3, and the regular length was perfect with a 3 or 4 inch heel. I usually wear a 2 or 4 in a dress; the size 2 was too small, and the 4 was a tad too big, but it ended up being fine. This is probably not a good dress for anyone who's worried about belly bulge--the waist line is a bit strange, and the seams are sort of low, so it accentuates the stomach in sort of an odd way. But I felt like a princess in this dress, and I got millions of compliments--including from people I didn't even know.

Great party dress!
I rented this dress for New Year's Eve and it did not disappoint. It looks exactly as it does in the photo - super cute and fun. I'm usually a 2 or a 4 in dresses; the 2 wasn't available, though, so I took a gamble. The dress was a tad too big but not terrible. I will say, though, that the belt is ridiculous - it's super tight and hard to attach, and once it is attached, the snap keeps coming undone. That was annoying. But overall, a great experience.
