Love this skirt
I've rented this skirt 3 times. I love the mesh fabric and the thick tied waist band. I wear it with a black bodysuit and it's super flattering.

Vibrant
The dress was true to size and very beautiful. Fabric is heavy and maintains its shape. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the length was awkward on my 5'2" frame. The hem hit right above my ankle so not quite midi or tea length and not quite a maxi dress. For this reason, I would not rent again.

Tight
I don't want to say that this runs small because I have large arms, but it was unbearably tight and hot in the arms. I had to return it. It hit at a flattering spot of my midsection and I didn't need to wear a bra with it.

I wore it without a bra. I'm 5'2" and it was dragging the floor with 4 inch wedges, as you can see from the photo.

Low cut, needs fashion tape
I wore this dress three ways during the month that I had it. First was as is, but it is very low cut, and I was exhausted from trying not to flash everyone by the end of the day. I think it could have worked with fashion tape to keep the fabric around the chest down. I am a very small B cup. Secondly, I wore it as a bathing suit cover-up (pictured), and lastly, I wore with a bandeau bra underneath. I think it's very comfortable and flattering. The mid-section is super stretchy--could probably be worn while pregnant. I'm 5'2, and it was like a maxi dress on me.

Obsessed
I rented this as a sundress for every day wear. It actually feels like a casual version of a ball gown. However the fabric is incredibly lightweight and cool. I'm short and a 34B, and was able to wear it with flat sandals and no bra. It was very flattering on my figure and I received at least three compliments from strangers each day that I wore it.

Easter perfection
This dress is super flattering and perfect for spring. It has lining to mid thigh, which fits well. Sometimes lining can be tight or ride up, but this dress was very comfortable even though it has no stretch . The fabric is lightweight and almost sheer so a strapless bra is necessary. My husband wanted me to buy it but I can't imagine having a place to wear it again. Perfect rental.

Not a fan
This dress looked great in the bodice. Every other part of the dress was a disaster on me. The little sleeves are elastic all the way around and were tight on my arms. They also didn't give that sexy, off the shoulder look, because the elastic kept them in an awkward location on my bicep. The bottom the dress was very "saloon girl." I thought it would be nice for a beach vacation, but it just didn't work on me.

Flattering sweater dress
Loved this dress. I wore it when I was home for the holidays and it didn't stretch out after multiple wears. I thought it was super flattering even though I forgot to pack a regular bra and had to wear a strapless bra with it. Dress is looser fitting up top then in the bottom, but the material is stretchy, and I thought it was fine with my pear shape. Sweater material is thin so not ideal for cold climates.

Cute holiday dress
I thought I would be able to wear this to work but the silver thread made it too dressy for my office. Wore it on Christmas Eve to church. I think it's hard for pear shapes to wear a drop waist but I liked this one.

Loved it
It's very short but also runs large. I was swimming in fabric, so I would rent a small in the future and plan to wear with leggings. The fabric has small holes, so it's not a winter dress but great for fall.

Too tight in the hips
This dress is not for pear shapes. It was massively loose in the bust and too tight in the hips. It technically fit due to the stretch, but it was not flattering.

Comfortable, flattering, and sunny
Wore this to a rainy outdoor wedding and felt like a ray of sunshine. Dress is flattering and comfortable. My only complaint is that I expected the fabric to be more formal, but it's actually a heavy cotton. It wasn't too long. I'm short and it hit just below the knee on me.

I received one compliment
I didn't feel particularly attractive in this dress. I think my torso is too short, and the waist hit me at a weird spot, making it unflattering. One person at work did compliment me, and it is a cute dress with the ruffle hem and small bell sleeves.

Too tight at elbow and around thighs.
It was flattering and a beautiful dress for work. However, the seams at the elbow and bottom hem had no stretch, which caused my arms to look fat and made it difficult to walk. It was very stretchy everywhere else. Might work better on someone slimmer. I won't rent this again.

Very flattering pattern
This dress made me look so slim! The way the stripe pattern changed around the waist was very flattering. This is one of the best sweater dresses I've ever worn because it did not highlight imperfections. However, it stretched out A LOT! After the first time wearing it, it was very baggy, and I still have three weeks left on my RTR Update rental. I would recommend this dress for a one-time rental or Unlimited.

Wanted to buy these
I'm short, so the inseam on these jeans was too long, meaning that I had extra fabric in the crotch area, and of course, I had to tuck the hem because they were too long. However, they fit wonderfully otherwise. The stretch was great, and they easily fit my thick thighs and made my butt look amazing. I looked at the Rag and Bone website to see if they had petite sizes or shorter inseams available, but no luck. Oh well, they were great to rent!

Thick sweater dress that creates a curvy shape
This dress was thick, and the rouching made it appear even thicker. It is form-fitting and really, really accentuates curves. I already have an exaggerated pear-shape figure, so for me, it was a little too much, but I recommend for less curvy ladies. I accidentally ordered a large (I think my RTR account automatically selected Large for an 8/10). However, I could have easily gone down 1 (or maybe 2) sizes. The dress is super stretchy, and unlike other sweater dresses I've rented, it does not show imperfections-- not even the dip between the bottom of the hip and top of the thigh. Very high quality dress. I'm 5'2" and it hit me at the knee just like the model.

Fun dress to rent
This is not a dress that I would normally buy, so it was fun to rent. It had a little bit of stretch and hit right at the knee. The cut out under the chest was cute and flattering.

Arms are sexy
The arms on the dress are sexy, but this dress is only lined in the chest area. It felt super constricting in the chest, and I'm a 34B, and then I needed Spanx for the bottom half because it was unlined. I was so excited to rent this dress, but ended up being super disappointed. I decided not to wear it.

Thin fabric
I have a flat stomach, but this dress made me look like I have a belly. On the plus side, the faux wrap meant that I could wear a flattering dress shape without worrying that my tiny boobs would be exposed. This dress is fine but nothing special, and the thin fabric shows everything.

Flattering and cute.
I'm 5'2" and this was way shorter on me than the model. I thought it would be a nice midi-length, but it just barely skimmed the top of my knee. Also, I think this dress is better for straight and narrow or hourglass. I am a pear shape, and I thought the design on the dress exacerbated that shape. Still, it was comfortable, held everything in and up (nice on the butt), and I would rent it again.

Fun and fashionable
I rented this to go with a pair of earrings I received as a gift because I didn't have anything to match them. I loved the top and wore it several times during the month I had it for RTR Update, including casual day at work with black flared jeans and on vacation in Vegas with skinny jeans and nude wedges. I have narrow shoulders, and the straps stayed in place. The cold shoulder was moderately sexy, and the length of the shirt was perfect on me. Also, even though it is a loose-fitting top, I did not feel like it made me look fat or overwhelmed in my short frame in any way.

Versatile and comfortable
This dress stretches out a little bit as the day goes on, so even though I chose to size up, I could have worn the size 8 (my typical size). I am 5'2", so the dress wasn't too short on me. I wore it to work with black opaque tights and heeled boots; I wore it to a concert with wedges; and I wore it all day on Sunday with brown leggings and riding boots. I received tons of compliments from coworkers who wanted to know where I bought the dress. The material is stretchy, and it fit my pear shape nicely. The arms were tight on me,but not uncomfortable.

Loved the opportunity to try out a mermaid style dress
I loved this dress. It's probably too over-the-top sexpot-ish to have in my closet, but it was great to rent. I wore it for my anniversary dinner. My husband loved it, and I received compliments from other women at the restaurant. It is super-stretchy. The length ranged from mid-calf to below knee on me depending on if it was bunching up at the waist or pulled down. I would recommend wearing spanx with it, and I wore a standard bra. I rented the large for my free birthday rental, it was loose at the waist, so if you have a narrow waist, don't get the large!

Nice dress for a Christmas party
I rented this for a work Christmas party and wore it again for Christmas Eve mass. It was ok. I would rent a different red dress in the future. The fit was fairly forgiving on me because I'm pear shaped, but the tummy area is not forgiving at all, and I think the bust area in the dress is pretty small, too. I'm a 34B, and it was tight across my chest.

Fun to wear
I typically wear a size large in Herve dress, but this was only available in a medium, so it was tighter than I would have liked. The white fabric made it less flattering than the black or gray Herve dresses I've worn in the past, but the black details were unique and fun.

Vintage sexy
It was too large, but that's because my size wasn't available, and I ordered the size 10. The dress is super cute and sexy--very vintage looking. The only drawback is that it is longer than I expected and the print has little flowers, so it's more of an everyday dress or baby shower dress than something to wear to work or a wedding. I wore a nude bra and did not have any trouble with the sheer part on the chest.

Pretty neckline
From the waist up, this dress was beautiful. The neckline was beautiful, and the dress made my waistline look itty-bitty. However, the dress has pockets, and the a-line skirt is very close-fitting. This means that the pockets pucker if you have hips like I do. I was self-conscious about it all night.

Not for short-waisted gals
This dress bunched up at the waist on me. It is also fairly tight in the bust (I'm a 34B), so watch out for that. I think that someone tall and thin would look stunning in this.

Fabric too clingy
This dress was not as flattering as I expected it to be. I didn't even wear it. The fabric was clingy around my hips and thighs, and I would have had to wear spanx, which defeated the purpose of a comfortable, flowy wrap dress.
