Too was HUGE!
Maybe the top was supposed to have elastic around the back, but there was NO way I could have worn this and it wouldn't have either been a constant battle or I wouldn't have shown everyone everything. It was way to big to go around my shoulders but too big to go in my shoulders- it just hung down my back. Cute dress but serious fail on the top and for the record I have DD tatas and average shoulders so it wasn't me.

Photographed well, but minimal functionality
When I put this dress on I immediately loved it! It felt amazing when I put it on and I received compliment after compliment. However; as you walk the lining rides up and I was constantly pulling it down (which requires you putting your hands under the dress and yanking several times). I tried to dance and it was impossible. This dress has zero stretch- especially in the arms. I didn't have an issue with the neck being itchy. Overall it's a beautiful dress just not practical.

First high waisted jeans that didn't feel "momish"
Love these!!! They look great and super flattering without looking like mom jeans. I hate high waisted jeans at my age, but these rocked!!! Great length too- but I have long legs so probably not for petite women.

Stylish and warm!
It's thick and warm without being bulky. I wore it with jeans and heels and got tons of compliments. It isn't the most flattering piece because it's a little bulky but paired with skinny jeans helped slim it down.

Dress up or down! Fall or Summer worthy
Loved this dress and I would have bought it, but the class on the back wouldn't stay and so I had to safety pin it. It wasn't too short and I loved the arms! They were the perfect size without being too much on my small frame. It would be cute with tall brown boots or white sneakers.

Neon pink!!!!
I didn't wear this, the color was WAY too bright for work or a date...might work for a Derby party or baby shower, Maybe Easter. I wear bright colors a lot and I felt like I would hurt the eyes of my clients if I wore this to work. The material felt kind of cheap too. The dress fit well, but I was worried with AZ heat I would sweat to death in it.

Comfy and cute for a hot day/ night.
A perfect casual top. I wore it with jeans and wedges, comfy and cute! The straps adjust with 2 button options, however one strap did keep falling off my shoulder. It hits at waist so it doesn't look like a maternity top!

A wrap that stays in place!
Love this top! Thought about buying it. High quality feel and look. I loved that it had ties on the inside to actually keep the top in place, absolutely no adjusting throughout the day. The arms are flowy, but not over the top. Order your normal size. If you have a large chest it would probably require a cami underneath for work.

Cute dress but completely see-thru
This is a super feminine cute dress, but it would have been completely see thru in the day light. You could wear it ay night and probably be fine. The material is very thin, I was worried if I sweat that the dress would show the sweat, which sounds gross but I live in AZ so during the summer that's something to think about. I wanted to be able to wear this dress because it's gorgeous, just didn't know how to pull it off in AZ.

Not for those who are body conscious!
Super cute romper but VERY short and showed a TON of cleavage. I do have long legs, but I was super self conscious of the fact that I couldn't bend over. Normal rompers aren't like this on me. I did love that this was made for petite girls, usually the leg openings of rompers are huge on me and I look like I'm swimming in them, this wasn't the case. Overall I highly recommend sizing up if you are debating sizes. It's super cute and my fiancé LOVED it, I was just a little self conscious wearing it.

Effortless style
I wanted something cute for vacation that was effortless and this was it. I paired it with denim shorts and even threw a cardigan over it when needed and it was perfect. The fabric is a little thicker so it held its shape. The ruffle is flattering and adds just enough to make it stylish but not overdone. It's definitely a casual shirt and I couldn't wear it to work (and I have a pretty casual work environment). I'm also very petite and it wasn't overwhelming or too boxy.

Cute and comfy!
First time I've rented jeans and I loved these! Super flattering and comfy. I wore them twice and they held their shape. I have long legs and they hit high ankle on me. They weren't high waist, but covered my stomach. I will be searching for this brand at the stores.

Cute for date night
This dress is thick and there isn't a zipper, so it just slides on. It's almost a thick felt material. It is way to thick to wear this time of year. However, it's super short...and I don't mind shorter dresses. If I raise my shoulders my booty would pop out. I like the dress but I'm not sure I could actually wear it all day without having some kind of wardrobe malfunction and showing off too much. I'm 110lbs and 5'5.

Date night dress but it's HUGE!
This dress looks so cute, but it is huge! I would have had to size down several sizes for it to stay on me. Great color and material.

Great structure, loved the ruffle sleeves
The dress had a few pulls in the fabric, but besides that it was so cute! Great for spring and could be dressed up for an event or down for a simple brunch with friends. The material is super thick, so I wouldn't opt for this dress when it was really hot or humid.

Nice shift work dress but not head turning
I loved that this dress came with the tags on it! It's a thicker dress so it feels high quality. It wore well, didn't wrinkle or creep up when I walked. The buttons on the sleeves made it look and feel a little more sophisticated. While I received several compliments throughout the day, it wasn't a memorable- eye catching dress.

Effortless dress up or down
This dress has a so much versatility. It was rainy and cold the day I planned to wear it so I threw on tights and a black scarf- so cute! It would be cute with cowboy boots, heels for work, flats for a day shopping or just about any other event you attend. If you are super busty this might not be the best choice for you, and be mindful that it's pretty short. I was self conscious in tights.

The back makes this dress unforgettable!
Love, love, love this gown! I wore it for a NYE formal wedding and it was perfect. I had compliments on it all night. It was glamorous and sexy. I loved the fact that the front was classic and traditional, but the back made it pop! My husband couldn't stop starring at me all night! The dress is heavy, it was record breaking cold temps and my legs were completely warm. I would not wear this dress to a wedding in the summer or where there is a lot of humidity- you will be hot! I was able to wear undies and they didn't show. The best part of the dress- no bra needed (and I always wear one). I wore 3 inch heels (red ones) and it was the perfect length.

Cute dress but damaged so couldn't wear it
This dress is fun, I wouldn't say it is formal appropriate because the cut outs. The length was kind of short, I wasn't going to be able to wear normal heels. I felt it was a little small, the cut outs are NOT forgiving- there is no stretch to this dress. So if you are worried about your body hanging over the back or where the cut outs are then this is not the dress for you. I wear either a 0 or a 2 and I would have been most comfortable in a 4 in this dress. The dress I received was damaged. On the sides where your hips go the seams were splitting, it was definitely noticeable and I ended up ordering another dress.

Beautiful Classic Shift Dress
Loved this dress with the exception of the sleeves. I think it was the cuff that bothered me, but it wasn't enough to not love it. I wore it to a work holiday party with a pair of tall boots and received tons of compliments. It's short, but not so short I was concerned about it being inappropriate. Fits true to size and it is very forgiving! An easy dress to throw on and feel beautiful!

This is a cute office dress, but be prepared to wear it with tights because it's a little short. I wore it with black tights and booties and had several compliments.

Country cute but a ton of fabric!
The sleeves are a lot- a lot of material, and a lot going on. I tried to push them up and fold the material over. I finally ended up just pulling them down and keeping my arms down with my hands in my pockets. The dress has a lot of potential and I wanted to love it, I did get compliments (from women) but it is just a lot of material and it is not flattering. If you have any curves I wouldn't recommend it because it's going to be really short and make you look like a cupcake. I'm a pretty petite person and I felt like it didn't do anything for me. However- if you don't mind puffy sleeves and you are really thin then I say go for it. I wore it with black booties and tights but it would be cute with cowboy boots!

An easy, go-to work staple
This is the 2nd time I've rented this shirt. It's just easy. You can dress it up or down. You can't layer it because of the puffy sleeves. It's a great Friday work to date night choice.

Is it orange or pink?
So this handbag style is super cute and I did get compliments when I carried it. Although people asked me if I bought it at TJ Maxx...not sure if that's good or bad. It's really soft and I love the cross body option. I didn't love the color. I was hoping for a Fall look and it is more of a pink than orange. It might be better for the Spring.

Dress it up or down- it's the perfect dress!
So cute!! I received endless compliments on it. I actually wore it twice, which I never wear my RTR items more than once. Had I realized it was affordable I would have bought it. I wore it once with tall boots for a more casual look and the other time with metallic silver shoes and a chunky necklace. The sleeves are perfect- I'm petite and they aren't too big that they over-powered my arms. I will say it's a smidge short. I have long legs and if I had any booty it would have rode up to an inappropriate length in the back.

Casual, trendy and warm!
I didn't wear this because I live in AZ and it's rarely cold enough to wear a thick sweater like this. However, I loved it and contemplated wearing it even though I would have been dying of heat. It would be super cute with a pair of skinny jeans and brown booties! I'm pretty petite and I loved that the neck wasn't overwhelming.

Effortlessly cute- but short so it's more of a casual affair dress
I do outside sales in the heat- so I can get away wearing just about anything. I wore this twice- which I rarely do! It's easy and so comfortable. It is short, I couldn't have worn it into an office or with heels without it looking inappropriate. Also, you can't wear a regular bra because of the way the shoulders cut in. Added cute earrings and flats and it was perfect!

Meh! I felt like a little girl in fancy pjs
While I had a few compliments, most of the time I felt like I attracted negative attention because the dress is shiny and it made the pink too much (and I love pink). The waist wasn't flattering. It would have been cuter with some kind of belt or tie but I couldn't find the right color to look like I wasn't trying to fix a bad fitting dress. It's also pretty sheer, so I would caution people who are going to be in the sun. I wore it because I had it and wasn't overly concerned about what people thought, but I would never have purchased this at a store.

Classic, crisp, perfect dress!
I had endless compliments on this dress. From co-workers, clients, to people in the grocery store and my 4 year old's eye said it all when I walked in the room..."Mama you look so beautiful!" The top is smaller than most dresses, I could barely zip it up and the arm holes cut into me. I would size up and definitely size up if you have a larger chest, rib cage, or arms. It hit me just below the knee and I'm 5'5, but the length made it professional and classy. The material is thick enough you can't see through it, but not so heavy that I was hot and it was 103 degrees. Best of all...there are pockets!! Rent this dress you will love it!

Cute and casual for everyday style
This dress is perfect for those hot days that you need to keep cool but still stylish. The dress is very thin and lightweight (but not see-through). It was actually so lightweight that I added spanxs under it to add a little warmth and protection from gusts of wind. The top is beautiful, the zipper and gold details are so pretty. Be conservative or flirty, either are so cute! I wore it with nude heels to a quick meeting and then fun sandals for the rest of the day. It's super cute!

Perfect fit, classy and sophisticated
Perfect dress for work, could be dressed up for a more formal occasion or worn with cute flats for brunch with the girls. I absolutely loved this dress and received endless compliments. It feels and looks like a high end dress, yet the material isn't too heavy to wear in warmer weather. The ruffles on the sleeves definitely prevent you from wearing a jacket or sweater over it, so I'm not sure how you would wear it in the chillier months.

It made me look pregnant!
So disappointing as I've been waiting for a month or so for this to be available. I'm not sure if it was the cut, material, or the fact that it has an elastic waist band- but this was not flattering on me at all! I'm a petite woman and I don't have a big stomach, but this skirt made me look 5 month pregnant. It's high-waisted which would be cute if the material worked with your body. I attempted to try on a few tops to see if I could work with it but alas I gave up. The skirt didn't even make a cameo appearance outside my bathroom.

The perfect Spring/ Summer Dress
Love, love this dress! It's pretty and feminine, yet professional. I wore it to work, on a date, and then just out shopping. It fit perfectly, I never had to adjust the tie or wrap. It is pretty long, I tried to wear flats and it hit the ground (I'm 5'5" with long legs). I would caution anyone wearing this in a windy location as there isn't a way to prevent the skirt from coming completely open if you have something in your hands. Definitely one of my favorite rentals!

Headturner, but Constantly had to adjust this dress.
This dress was pretty and guys and gals alike stopped to look at the beautiful pattern, but it was not comfortable. The dress rode up all night and it showed every line and bump. I have a small tummy but after dinner I wish I had worn spanx; however, if you wore spanx with it and the dress rode up it would be disaster. Also, panty lines were an issue. You can see from the picture it bunched up even just standing still. I wanted to love it ans maybe it just was not small enough to be flattering.

Endless compliments!
This dress fit like a glove. There is no stretch in the waist and chest. I am very small and this fit perfectly. I could see for most it would be to tight to zip. I received endless compliments from co-workers, clients, and random people throughout the day. The dress could be dressed up for a more formal event because of the bigger skirt, but I wore it to the office, a training session and even a marketing event at a golf place. It was perfect. I will rent again!

Loved the material and sleeves, just not the most flattering fit.
The material is soft and very comfortable. The sleeves are long, but so cute! The key hole top made the dress and I appreciated it was not too revealing. I wore it to work with tights and boots and then to a preschool concert with silver flats. I had a lot of compliments on the dress and I agree it is cute; however, the top is very blousy and when it's matched with an elastic waste band I didn't feel like it was very flattering.

Cute, classy, and fun!
I wore this to a work dinner. The sleeves and length kept it appropriate while the nude underlining made it fun and sassy. I was able to eat, drink and be merry without worrying about the dress getting too tight. The dress is very slimming, in the picture I'm not standing at the most flattering angle. My only complaint is that the way the lace falls on the skirt it makes a buckling appearance and it bothered me when I looked in the mirror, but other than that it was comfortable and I felt great. I highly recommend! Stick to your normal size, as it runs true to size. Just note that it does not have any give.

Comfortable, stylish, and flattering!
Loved this dress, I didn't want to return it because I felt cute and sexy without any effort. The material is soft and thin, so don't expect it to keep you warm. It is actually see-thru but has a slip dress to wear under. I did feel like the slip rode up a little, especially when sitting, but it wasn't the end of the world. This particular dress felt a little stretched out around the bottom, but other than that it fit perfect! I will rent this again!

Cute and fun outfit, but it didn't come with the belt and I struggled to find the right belt to complement it. Also, I had to suck it in most of the day because it isn't forgiving in the stomach area. I wore it with flats and the length was perfect. The color pops and people complimented me all day.
