Shape all wrong
The shape of this was not right and it was tight for a 12. I thought based on the pics it would be work appropriate, but it exposed my back.

Too tight
This was not a 12! I could button it up but it was bursting.

Not for small busts
I often have issues with wrap dresses and this one was no different. Since the fabric is structured, it was particularly difficult to keep together. Had to use fashion tape.

Got so many compliments on this jacket. I love a good oversized blazer and this was perfection.

One of my favorites
This is definitely one of my favorite dresses for from rent the runway. I've rented this twice now and I love how versatile it is. I've worn it to work but I also wore it on vacation in Maine for dinner. I have a wider chest and shoulders so I have had to use fashion tape to make sure the buttons in the chest don't gape. For this reason I've always rented this dress in a 12 vs my normal size 10.

Great transitional dress
I wore this on vacation in Maine in August where the weather can be a bit colder at night. This is definitely a great dress for spring summer and fall. The colors are muted so it doesn't give off too much of a summery vibe even though it is floral.

Definitely runs small
I am typically an 8 or a 10 but know from prior experience to size up with Kate spade. The 12 was perfect. It was light and airy, and I loved the slit in the middle.

Loved it!
I didn't have any issues with the fit. I was worried that the buttons on the front would gape but they didn't. Got compliments on it all night!

Tight in the shoulders/arms
I have broad shoulders and often find blazers don't quite sit right unless I order a Tall. It was still wearable but a little tight. I also have long arms and the sleeves were borderline awkward. Not long enough to go to my wrist but not short enough to be 3/4 length. I pushed them up to make them more 3/4 length.

Stand out top
Was a little loose but not to the point where I would say it runs large. Great top that works both tucked and untucked.

The top was very cute - great for a night out paired with black jeans and booties. Unfortunately, I have broad shoulders, so the top was tight across my chest and didn't lay well. I ended up not wearing it.

Great everyday sweater
I want to rent this sweater again and again! I got so Many great compliments on the sweater from coworkers. It was incredibly soft and warm. The shirt pieces in the front were a cute way to upgrade the piece.

Great day to night top
I paired this top with a camisole, blazer and skinny jeans for work, then took off the blazer for a night out. Would probably look great with a statement necklace as well.

Cute romper
Fun romper that I wore around Bourbon Street in New Orleans on vacation. I have a high waist, so the length between the elastic waist and the crotch was a little tight, but workable. I paired it with a jean shirt since it was windy that day and it looked perfectly bohemian.

Best sundress!
I would rent this dress again and again. It was very comfortable and the pattern brought a modern twist to a typical sundress. I wore this on vacation in New Orleans in October.

Elegant crop top
Paired it with a Tibi skirt also from RTR for a wedding. My shoulders are broad and so it was a little tight in the chest/shoulders, but I run into that problem a lot.

Office classic
I got so many compliments on this dress! The fabric is stretchy and definitely gave a bit after I had it on for a few hours, which ended up being fine. Very comfortable!

I paired this skirt with a Nha Khanh white/black crop top also from Rent the Runway. It was perfectly modest, but trendy for my boyfriend's sister's wedding!

Dress was mismarked
Dress was marked a size 12, but was probably more around a size 4. Definitely not Rent the Runway's fault, but it meant I didn't have a dress to wear to a rehearsal dinner.

It was too short and tight for a business meeting.

Great fit!
Classic navy shell with a twist. I wore it with a pair of daisy dukes and white converse to a Labor Day rooftop party - perfect combination of classy and casual. I have a longer torso, and since this is a crop top, I would have preferred it to be 1-2 inches longer.

Great color
Great color and fabric. The sizing was a bit weird on my body shape - the fabric puckered across my chest, but then I had all this extra fabric below my chest and above my waist. I had to tie the waist really tight.

Great with a pair of black leggings and white converse for a day at the office!
Sleeves were a bit long, but I rolled them up and they stayed put. It's great that Rent the Runway has this Equipment shirt in several colors/patterns, so you can order it again and again and always look different. I'd order the large again to wear as a tunic, bu get the medium if I was looking for something more fitted, or to pair with a pencil skirt.

Definitely made for women with no boobs. I could barely pull the top down to cover my stomach. Awkward shape.

These were larger than I had anticipated, and paired with the statement necklace I rented, was a bit much. Ended up not wearing the earrings, but they were very nice!

Simple, but stylish!
I loved that this necklace was simple in design, but bold. Was a little heavy, but it didn't bother me throughout the night. I paired it with a gold clutch, also rented from RTR.
