Beautiful and flattering
Was glad I sized up, still a little snug, but overall a really flattering cut and fun print.

Flattering and fun
Had a lot of fun wearing this one. The print and overall style of the dress definitely stand out. Received several compliments throughout the night. I also found the cut and fabric of the dress worked well to define my shape.

Just OK
Wore this around the house for a weekday WFH. Found it to be a little more fitted than I would like in the top which kept me from really loving it.

Too tight across chest
Wasn't able to wear this one, the band at the top of the dress was too tight to fit comfortable across my chest.

Versatile summer dress
Can work as a chic casual piece or fit for more dressy summer events as well. The material is a beautiful midweight cotton and the small details make it feel a little more special than the average dress. Loved and wore multiple times while I had it!

Sleeves too tight
Couldn't even get this one on because the sleeve openings were too tight to be able to pull past my forearm area. It's a really nice style and guazy material for summer, but keep in mind that the sleeves are fitted without any stretch or elastic to shape to different arm sizes.

Love, Whit by Whitney Port

Usual Size: 12

Not great for larger bust
When I first put on, the fit was pretty good, but adding the belt and sinching the waist resulted in the top pulling open against the buttons. Also found that it was tough to get the skirt to lay nicely once belted due to the pocket fabric.

Not the most flattering
Not bad, but not great either, I think it was the length and cut of the leg that didn't quite work. Was quite baggy and didn't look as polished as I would have liked. Didn't end up wearing.

Great knit with natural fibers, wore for outdoor dining with temps in mid-50s and kept me warm through the night. Classic pattern with oversized fit.

Really fun print and cute details, just would have liked it to have had a looser fit as I don't prefer anything too form-fitting.

Sexy and slinky
This was my first experience with DVF dresses and what I've discovered is that her clothing is cut very tight to the body. I tend to be a 10 or 12 in designer dresses and the 12 fit nicely in the shoulders, but fell very low in the front of the dress. The material is also a quite slinky material as opposed to the classic silk jersey that I had experienced most often on her dresses. I found this was a great date night dress, but would not recommend for a conservative office environment.

Classic with a twist
This dress was absolutely beautiful. The lace has a subtle, classic pattern with a subtle amount of sequin beading all throughout. I tend to waffle between a 10 and 12 in designer sizes and I thought the 12 fit nicely without being too snug. If you're tentative about the sheer panel in the middle, it is very subtle and I found it was less noticeable than in the picture and acted more as an accent to visually nip you in at the waist.

Fun twist on an everyday work dress
Paired this with suede boots and received multiple compliments from my husband and coworkers. Very comfortable fit since the fabric has a bit of stretch. I'm always between a 10 and 12 - I wore the size 10 in this and achieved a more fitted look. If I had wanted more of a loose shift style I think I could have gotten away with the 12.

Odd fit
I typically take a size 12 in Kate Spade but I found the top of this dress had too much extra room which caused it to gape along the sides. The waist fit perfectly and the bow in the back was completely adorable but opted not to wear for my event because the fit was so bad on top.

Surprisingly versatile
I tend toward a neutral palette when it comes to jewelry and often have a hard time incorporating color. This necklace was the perfect item to add to so many different outfits. The color is beautiful and the styling isn't too casual or too dressy. I wore it to work, on the weekends, and out at night. Looked great layered on top of a crisp white shirt or with a few b&w striped items in my closet. Loved!

Great alternative to a standard LBD
I wore this for a night out in Vegas and I thought it was great substitution for a standard mini dress. The solid fabric is a heavy tuxedo-style suiting material that contrasts the playful sheer cutouts on the sides and sleeves. My only detraction is the cut of the sleeves. They were quite baggy and long, but I actually didn't mind the look of neatly rolling them up. But be aware that the sheer fabric has no stretch and these sleeves don't fit tight to the body.

Romantic, elegant, and dramatic
As stated by others, the length on this is slightly longer than on the model and so I would recommend this for a more formal occasion since it reads as a tea length evening gown as opposed to garden party frock. I wore to the ballet which felt slightly overdressed since it wasn't a premiere night, but still a beautiful and fun dress to wear nonetheless. That being said, this has been one of the most beautiful dresses I've received in many years of RTR orders. The sheer mesh was very flattering and the color is soft and romantic. One tip: when the dress was straight from the bag the layers of the skirt were a little disheveled. Because there are 4 or 5 layers of tulle this can give the bottom a lot of unnecessary volume. I found that if I started smoothing the individual layers to lay them flat and hung the dress up overnight this gave the beautiful soft drape you see on the model as opposed to a poofy rumpled mess.

Unique option for an evening out
This was a fun take on the jumpsuit but wasn't 100% perfect. While the sheer overlay was unique, I did find that the amount of fabric read more as a poncho rather than a cape detail. I liked it but probably wouldn't be something I would rent again.

Gorgeous color
The red color was perfect for the holiday party I attended. I typically don't find strapless styles flattering or comfortable to wear, but the strap detail balances out the top of the dress and has some hidden adjustable straps to keep everything in place.

Flattering, comfortable, and dramatic
Loved this for a party. The belts inches you in but the fabric has a nice flow to keep it from being too fitted. Balanced with the shorter length and cape detail, thought this was a very easy dress to pull off while still looking cute and stylish.

Not what I was expecting
The length on this necklace was quite different than what I was imagining. It fit more like a choker than a mid-length draping necklace. I also found the flower detail to be too heavy. They are very tall and bulky. Ended up not wearing. Just couldn't figure how to make it work for me.

The color of the flowers is very pretty and went with more than I would have thought. I hadn't noticed in the picture but there are some rhinestones in the center of the flowers that add a nice sparkle. Length was good - not too short.

Better for smaller bust lines
This dress is quite form fitting and doesn't have any give. I typically have fit issues on top since my chest/bust line tend to be larger than average. With this dress I was hoping to have the open back affect that many others achieved by tucking in the strap across the back however, when I tried on my size, I still found that the arms and top of the skirt pinched in a rather unflattering way. Trying on a size larger didn't help since the fit was too baggy on what should be a fitted style. Otherwise this is a gorgeous dress, just wanted to call out the fit for certain body types.

This was a great dress that can be worn for lots of different occasions. Actually wore this twice during my rental: first for a dinner date with some dressier accessories and then again for a day at the office. Only complaint was that the material was starting to look a little tired, but overall felt this was a great rental!

Cute bag - got lots of compliments
This was my first time renting a handbag from RTR and I was really happy with the overall style. Went to a roaring 20's themed event and this was a subtle nod without being too costumey. The bag definitely had some wear and tear (found some makeup stains in the lining) but overall it was still less expensive than going out a purchasing a bag that I'd likely use infrequently.

NYE dress
I was very excited for this one, but it just didn't work out for me. The material isn't as heavy as other beaded/sequin dresses and because of this it wasn't as flattering. I also found the shoulders to be ill-fitting making me look far more broad than normal.

Gorgeous, sexy dress
This dress has definite sex appeal without being raunchy. Wore it to a cocktail party and received numerous compliments from friends and total strangers. The open back is what really makes it. The length was perfect (just above the knee) and the bust line was cut just right (wore my NuBra and was fine).

Cute style, fabric was just OK
This dress was really fun and flirty, I just wasn't crazy about the material. The pink lining underneath was a bubblegum pink that gave the look too much of a younger vibe. Overall I didn't feel that it had the polished look that I like to have when dressing up for a party.
