Meh
Too tight in chest despite going up a size. Thin cotton fabric.

Loved it so much I bought it...

Cute, but...
The arms were very tight and the sweater overall was just a little too cropped for my liking. I actually thought that someone before me accidentally put it in the dryer! Despite the smaller fit, there is no gaping when buttoned up, which was impressive for a slim fitting cardigan.

Just okay
Cute sweater in theory. I didn't even mind that it was a little cropped for my tall frame. But it fell short on my arms which made it look like I was wearing the wrong size.

Loved it!
This dress runs large and will be too baggy unless you size down. I'm a true 10 and normally rent a Large in dresses but the Medium fit fine.

One of my favorite rentals
Try to ignore the less than ideal photo location and focus on the dress. I’m between an 8 and a 10 in dresses. True 8/Medium on top, but I have larger hips so sometimes I have to size up to a 10 to accommodate for that. The Large fit perfectly on my Medium sized torso, so definitely size up. The skirt is flowy and very forgiving for pear shapes. I lifted up my hand a bit to show how the sleeves are just a little too short if you have long arms. Would have loved a little extra length there. I wore this twice and got lots of compliments both times— everyone from our waitress to my husband’s boss to my mother-in-law. So sad I can’t keep it.

Big Dress

Nice material but waist is small.
If you are a size 10 hip and a size 8 waist, boy do I have the perfect pants for you. These are really lovely pants and I’m so bummed I couldn’t wear them. I usually wear a size 10 and these fit everywhere except the waist. I could barely button them in the morning but there is no way that would have still been the case post lunch. Aside from that, nice length and really beautiful, soft material.

It was fine
The pattern is cute, thin material but good for layering. The collar kept its shape and stayed put which impressed me. I’m between an 8 and a 10 in tops and the medium was TTS. My only issue was the length. The front and back are long enough to stay tucked in, but I couldn’t raise my arms at all without the sides coming out of my waistband. It was ok with high rise jeans but I couldn’t wear this with anything mid-rise without constantly having to tuck the shirt back in. Just fyi if you’re tall. Probably perfect on shorter women.

Loved it!
I kept this for a few months-- such a great fall jacket. Definitely size down on this one. I'm usually a size 10 or a Large in jackets and the 8 was still roomy enough to fit a sweater underneath.

Luxurious-- worth every penny!
I point of renting clothes is to prevent myself from blowing $600 on a sweater, but boy this one is tempting me hard. However, you definitely get what you pay for. The material is expensive looking, heavy, and keeps its shape throughout the day. It's even more beautiful in person, and so soft! The medium is true to size, if you are between sizes I might suggest sizing up if you have a larger bust or think the sleeves might be too tight. Personally, I like how fitted the sleeves are because it helps the sweater keep its shape. I'm wearing high rise pants and the sweater hits just below the waistband-- a slightly cropped sweater that will actually fit tall girls. I would absolutely rent this again and again.

Great sweater to dress up or down
I wore this to work paired with a midi skirt, but it also elevates a weekend look with jeans. The material is thick and the sweater held its shape throughout the day. Fits true to size, but definitely size down if you are between sizes or like a more fitted look. I'm tall and find that most cropped sweaters are too cropped on me, but this one hit perfectly right at the waist of my skirt. The pearl buttons are adorable and actually help the sweater look expensive rather than cheap. My only complaint is that the sweater is little itchy, but I'm probably more sensitive to wool than most people. I wore a low cut silk camisole underneath and it was fine.

So flattering and comfortable!
I needed a flowy, comfortable, flattering, beautiful dress for an outdoor wedding and this one checked all of the boxes. I'm normally a Medium/Size 8, but I had some recent weight gain (I'm 5'9 and went from 155lbs to 175lbs so I'm wearing a size 10-12 these days) and I couldn't believe the Medium fit me AND looked as good as it did. I got the Large just in case but didn't need it. It's a very forgiving dress, perfect if you need to hide extra weight around the middle.

Somewhat disappointed
I was so excited to wear this dress to my birthday dinner last night. Unfortunately, on the way to the restaurant my best friend pointed out that there was a small tear in one of the flutter sleeves. Upon closer inspection of the dress, I noticed a few small pinkish stains on the bottom of the skirt. I don't know how I missed these things when I put the dress on, but by the time I saw them it was too late to go home and change dresses, let alone order a new dress. I still received plenty of compliments on the dress, and it was very comfortable to wear outside on a summer night. I would certainly recommend this dress (the color is especially flattering), but I wish that RTR had done a better job inspecting the dress before sending it to me.

Like wearing a watercolor painting!
I rented this dress to wear to my brother's wedding, but wore my backup dress instead when I saw that the lining of the dress hung down below the fabric of the skirt in a few small places. It looked like maybe the previous wearer had stepped on the hem a few times? It wasn't terribly noticeable, so I wore the dress to the rehearsal dinner and got lots of compliments on the print. Very beautiful in person and incredibly comfortable and flattering. I would recommend this dress to anyone who plans to do a lot of dancing as the skirt looks just gorgeous when you spin around. I am 5'9 and opted for the regular length since I planned to wear a low heel, but tall girls who like their high heels will definitely want to consider the long length. I got away with 1.5" wedges and the skirt fell just where it needed to.

The most comfortable dress I have ever worn to a wedding!
Very comfortable fit and beautiful fabric. I rented this for an outdoor wedding in June and was nervous that the heavy fabric would be too hot, but it was never a problem. The dress is very well made and the design is gorgeous. The pink provides the perfect amount of color. I am 5'9 and was able to wear the regular length with 1.5" heels. I opted not to get the longer length because I wanted to wear a shorter heel without worrying about the skirt dragging on the ground. Perfect dress. Unbelievably comfortable. Highly recommend.
