love the set
The picture is the XL; I wore the XXL the next day. They both fit pretty well, the XXL a little big in the shoulders, the XL maybe too much gap between the front hooks (but I wore it over a turtleneck so it didn’t matter). Great designer, good quality knit, definitely like it as a set.

Love the set
One of my favorite designers, good quality cotton knit material. I wear a 16 on the bottom, depending on the brand - could go up or down a size. The XL fit me pretty well. I’d have liked to try the XXL just to see which was better, but it wasn’t available. Without the leggings I would have been self-conscious about the length, pretty short in the back. I do love a skort though. Only wish it had pockets.

Almost perfect
I really liked this dress, I think it was more flattering than I expected. I ordered a 14P because I don't like to wear heels, and the length was great. It was a little snug/short in the bust, but I think it does fit true to size and that a 14R would probably have fit better there. I almost kept it to wear to an upcoming wedding, but there's another dress I want to try so sent it back, but I may rent it again if there is an occasion.

Great dress - lots of compliments
Although this was loose on the top, it wasn't too much of a problem. I have found my perfect 'body problem solution' - the tiers fell over my (large) hips and disguised what I am most self-conscious about. I am considering buying it, but will probably try it in a smaller size first.

Better than expected
This felt much better to wear than I thought it would, I felt like it was pretty and fit well, and the fabric was light and floaty. It was really comfortable.

Nice dress
Ran a little big, even tying it as tight as I could in the back the shoulders were loose. Also the material doesn't really breathe, so a little warm at an August outdoor event. It was comfortable though, and I thought the pattern and colors were pretty in person.

Okay
Didn't love, they were snug but not too tight, and a nice design, but there are others that are more comfortable I think.

Quite cropped
Wore with the matching pants, it is a great outfit but the XL was very roomy and yet very short. I wasn't expecting it to be quite that cropped, but I like the jacket overall, especially as a set.

love, but too small
These just don't quite fit me. I am usually a 16 in pants, although I may have put on a few pounds. They were so close, and I did wear them, but I had to wear a longer shirt because they just didn't look good around my hips and butt. I wore with the matching jacket, which was more cropped than I expected. I love the pants, and I would rent again if I lose weight! :-)

Plus and minus
Really liked the design, the material is a little itchy. I wore it over a shirt, but I wouldn't wear it all day long or anything. It was big/oversized, I would say it is true to size but you could size down probably. I often wear a large in shirts so the XL was very roomy (which is how I like it).

These may run large, I loved the fit but was mostly wearing around the house. So comfortable! I have rented them before, the fabric is warm and good quality, would consider purchase if at a lower price.

GINORMOUS
I previously rented the white one of these, in both large and XL for layering, and expected this to be oversized for layering also, but HOLY COW it is giant. When I was wearing it I was asking myself if I rented the XL or if it was the 2X by mistake, but it was a size Large and could have fit two of me. It is a great sweater, but size WAY the heck down.

lovely dress
I liked this dress so much, but it was big on me. If it was available in a smaller size I might have bought it, that's how much I liked it. But the 1X was just too roomy in the shoulders and bust, and could have been more fitted in the waist. It wasn't bad when I was standing up but when I sat down it gapped and drooped. Made me sad, I wore it anyway because the fabric and the design are fabulous. No pockets is a drawback, but machine washable is a plus when I consider a purchase. Wish it came one size down! I am between 5'6" and 5'7", 36DD, hourglass to pear shaped, and currently around 188-189 lbs.

Compliments
Good quality, uncommon design and print, it's a really nice top. Fit was large though, since it is winter I wore a thin sheer silk long-sleeved top under it that looked like it was made for it, it worked out well. But it would have been too large to wear in the summer alone.

Great red color
I rented the 14 and 16. The 14 fit with a little extra room. I essentially am two sizes, I have really wide hips, 14-16 in pants but a size or two smaller on top. Dresses that don't have full skirts are usually a problem for me, and I chose this because I knew it would be large on top but the cape would hide that, which it did. I liked it fine but I confirmed for myself that the 'cold shoulder' trend is not my favorite thing.

Best pants ever.
Was not sure I would like the material, but it was the softest wool knit I've ever worn. The pants kept their shape and did not stretch out or sag after several wearings. Compliments from strangers. :-) I hope to rent again if the sweater is ever available at the same time. I would buy them if I could afford them.

Fun, but long
I love the California poppies print and the design is fun, with the mini skirt under the two long panels. But holy hannah, they are long! If I bought this (which I am thinking about), I would have it hemmed.

wish my size was available
I like these, and my current size in pants is 16, but these are SO big. I knew they run large from reviews, but no smaller sizes were available. I was hoping I could get by but they are giant and I can't even wear them. Wish I could though, they are fun pants!

Will wear it to NY Eve dinner.
I haven't worn it out of the house yet, but I LOVE this dress. Because I have big hips/butt, this is a great style for me. Fits well, maybe even could have gone down a size. It is not tight in the chest, I am a 34DD. I will probably wear a little wrap of some sort because I usually like at least cap sleeves, but it has POCKETS. So yeah, beautiful material, I feel great in this dress.

Great customer service
The fit ran a little large, but the dress got a lot of compliments and I felt very good in it. I ordered it in what I thought was my size, 18W, and a larger size. The 18 was much too big, so I contacted RtR and they overnighted me a 16W in the same dress. It was still a bit roomy but looked fine and was a perfect length for my not-very-high heels. The customer service was SUPERB and I would absolutely recommend RtR to anyone.
