Love the look, not the fit or feel
Didn't work for me size-wise, which was disappointing as I sized up to begin with. It was also a scratchier material than expected.

Great color!
The color is beautiful, and the metallic closure buttons are a great touch that justifies the price. I wasn't able to wear it (runs way too large) without looking sloppy. I'll attempt to snag a smaller size when it's available. In addition to running large, it's also a bit scratchy (especially around the collar), and the material is on the heavier side which was an issue for me as temperatures are still in the '80s-'90s where I live.

Tight in the chest
The dress is cute & it seems like it would be easy to wear/comfortable. However, I couldn't wear it since it was way too tight across the chest. Depending on the brand I'm at a DD/DDD for a bra & having this buttoned wasn't an option. Also (and I admit this may be a personal preference), the dress isn't well-lined so just a call out there. It seems more like a dress you'd find at a fast fashion retailer because I didn't see anything about it to justify a $550 price tag.

Flattering
I'd say this style fits true to size and is extremely flattering. The only potential issue here is the neckline (open/hit low on me but I'm DD so they were kind of crammed into a size 8 bustline) but that's easily fixed with a bralette or camisole.

I desperately wanted to love this dress since it looks like such a classic, staple piece. However, this is NOT a forgiving garment. At all. Also, I feel that the price is a bit unjustified given how flimsy and clingy the material is.

Hello, Cleavage
Love everything about this dress. The color is beautiful, and the cut is incredibly flattering. My only complaints are issues that I have with every wrap dress- cleavage and potential for flashing when the wind catches the skirt. I wore a slip underneath, and that addressed both issues. I'd highly recommend giving this one a rent. It would be a great staple piece in anyone's wardrobe.

Cute (but TINY)
In terms of quality these pants are great. However, the brand seem to run small. I understand that vanity sizing means a size 14 can look different across brands but after eyeballing these on the hanger I knew it wasn't happening.

Pretty but not so practical
I love the look of this bag and had actually planned to buy it before I saw it arrive on RTR. The quality of the leather is great and the inside is spacious enough for anything you'd need on a daily basis plus larger items (like a laptop or water bottle). On the inside of the bag, there is a zipped pocket and two open pockets for storage. On the outside of the bag, there's a pocket that's perfect for holding your cell phone. The biggest issue for me is how difficult it is to open/close the bag. I feel like it should be able to be done with one hand but I found myself fumbling with the arrow too often. It's something about how the arrow flap comes over the straps that make it clunky and awkward.

Cute but potential issues
Super cute and flattering wrap dress. At 8 am I was almost sure I'd buy it. By 8 pm I knew that wasn't going to happen. As pretty as it is, I felt like I was one strong gust of wind away from showing everything and whenever I'd get up from my desk I felt the same panic (the under wrap layer wanted to go the opposite direction from the top layer - if that makes any sense).

Cute Confidence Booster
Sometimes when you find the right garment you just feel better about yourself. This dress definitely does that for me. It's extremely comfortable, lightweight, and it flatters my shape. The only possible downside is that, on me, it fit very tight through the chest. I'm bustier so I just leave the top buttons undone and wear a mini camisole. All and all I highly recommend renting this dress.

Not for me
I was really looking forward to getting this dress but unfortunately it just didn't work. The fabric itself is a little stiff and the overall fit is large. Those factors, combined with what feels like one too many ruffles made the dress feel awkward and unflattering.

So Cute!
I love this bag! The overall look and quality are on point - the only down side is that it's smaller than what I'd usually carry on a daily basis. There's a small zipper pocket and slots for cards so that's a nice touch but the main compartments aren't that large. It definitely holds the essentials but not much more.

Underwhelming
Based on the pictures I assumed I'd love this piece. In reality I was underwhelmed by the overall quality and look of the sweater.

Runs VERY Large
I ordered the Large expecting to wear multiple layers underneath. Even with the layers the coat itself was over-sized to the point of looking comical. Maybe when you have a small frame the over-sized look works, but when you're a 10/12 it doesn't quite look right. Aside from size issues no complaints.

Beautiful Bag!
I absolutely love this bag! You can wear it with the black leather strap or with the gold chain. It has 2 slots on the inside that are perfect for an I.D and credit card and a zipper section in the middle. It was able to hold for everything I'd need for a night out (phone, cash, lipstick, compact). The only downside is that since it's new (I'm pretty sure I was the first person to get this particular bag) it's still a bit compacted. You can tell that it has the capacity to expand to fit more but the leather hasn't quite loosened up yet.

Cute but Worn
I ordered up a size based on feedback on how tight the fit was through the bust. There was plenty of room in the bust but the button holes were so stretched that the top kept opening on me. Thankfully I was wearing a camisole underneath so there was no wardrobe malfunction but I was still embarrassed that I constantly had to keep buttoning my top.

Super cute/Super tiny
I ordered a large . In terms of the waistband it fit but the liner was way too small. So, if you're smaller in the waist but have thicker thighs/a big booty it may not work. Quality wise I have no complaints. It's super cute and lightweight so perfect for spring and summer.

Wore this to a Christmas Eve get-together
I absolutely loved the color and the interesting ruffle detail. However, it just wasn't flattering on me. Maybe on a smaller frame it wouldn't be so bad but as a size 10 (L) it wasn't doing me any favors.
