I want it, I bought it!
This was such a great black dress with a little style for the winter/fall. I'm petite so I love that the sleeves aren't super long on me. I did have to be careful when eating and not letting them dip into food.

I really liked this dress! It was very comfortable and the sleeve ruffles and the cutout details made it special. I wore it for work and a brunch.

I wore this for work in the winter. It's cute. I feel like the blue is bleeding into the white trim. It was comfortable to wear. I didn't have any issues.

Classic red!
I loved this dress. It was a classic red strapless dress. I'm 5 ft 1 and had to wear 5 inch heels for it not to drag on the floor. When I switched to more flat shoes later, I just had to hold it up a little when walking around.

They loved it or they hated it!
I loved this piece! Some of my co workers loved it too! And some others hated it and thought it looked like a house robe. Either way, this is why I love RTR so you can try out different things.

Cute ruffle details!
Fit true to size. I rent this for work. I thought the ruffles on the sleeve and hem were just enough to make it interesting without being too cutesy. Great work winter dress. I also liked that the sleeves fit well. Usually when I rent something with sleeve detail, it's too long.

Good work staple
This was a good work staple. It's not a standout but it fits well. It's a stretchy material and hugs my pooch so control top or spanx are needed. There are no zippers. It was easy to pull over and put on and take off. I would rent it again if I needed an easy dress to travel for work and know that it will fit.

Too boxy
Although the idea is cute, this shirt is very boxy. It's a sweatshirt material but a little on the stiff side and it stood away from my body. It was also slightly short and I'm 5'1. I had to wear a tank underneath. See my pic and the arrow where it shows it lays away from my body. Hard pass.

Sexy Modesty
I wore this to a work holiday party and another holiday party. I love that it's navy blue and the ruffles are very pretty without being overwhelming. I felt sexy but still covered up and work appropriate. It's also roomy enough in the waist that it was forgiving with all my holiday eating.

Surprisingly not plain
I wasn't wowed when I first opened it but I ended up wearing this rental the most. It's a great staple item. It's great paired with leggings. As a previous reviewer stated, it hugs every bump so it's best not to wear it with pants or jeans that have belt loops/ zippers as it just shows those bumps. It's very soft and I received a lot of compliments on it. The side slits are nice also.

Cute enough to buy!
I loved how this is a white and I can wear it in the winter instead of black all the time. I love the pockets. It's very comfortable as well. I'm definitely buying this as my first RTR purchase

Fun and casual
The ruffled sleeves were a little long so I tucked them in. It was cute and just made a casual Friday a little more fun

Meh- just ok
I think the color was flat for my skin tone. The fit was true to size. It's like a thicker silk. I did receive compliments on it. I've rented better

Pretty and feminine!
SIZE UP! SIZE Up! Size up! Ok, if you've taken that advice then you will love this top. It's very feminine and is just so very pretty. I loved the lace detail, the ribbon at the neckline and the modest keyhole. The velvet ribbon around the waist is tight. I'm normally a size 4. I rented a 6 but I could've easily gotten an 8 if I wanted more belly room. Also, below the velvet ribbon is sheer so you will see through it. Above is lined. I ended up wearing this to birthday party and for work.

Fits horrible
Don't be fooled. This looks cute on the pic but is horrible on. The elastic waistband sits too high and makes it very boxy looking

Appropriate for work and other special occasions. It is true to size. It is forgiving on the figure and the the bow detail keeps it interesting.

Very cute for work if you're a shorty
This runs short so for work it might not be appropriate if you're taller than me. It's a thin material and lightly lined.

I rented this for my vacation in Maine earlier in May and it was perfect! It kept me warm.

Punchy color!
This is the 2nd DVF wrap dress I have rented. For my poochy body type, I would stick with DVF patterns to hide my flaws. I still received many compliments on this. It is low cut for me so I wore a bralette cami underneath.

Interesting top but not my color
This was appropriate for work and a night out. I think the color is wrong for me but may suit someone else.

Great top with fun sleeves
Loved this top! I wore this for work and on the weekends. The sleeves are slit so when you raise your hands the ruffles are out of your way! Got a lot of compliments on it

Smart and chic
Super cute jacket! The only con is that you can't put a shoulder bag on since it's like a shawl/cape. You would need to carry your handbag in your hand

Cute but unforgiving
Pros-I loves the ruffle detail on the top and the bottom and the color is cute. Cons- it's short. It came about mid thigh on me and I'm 5ft 1. The material is very light and the wind would easily blow it up. Also the material clings to any imperfect bump and my pooch. You can see the seams on my control top power panty. You can also see the outline of my bra. This would probably be good on a 5ft person with a smoother silhouette than me. :)

Great for work and more!
I wore this to work and Church. I love this because it can be used for so many different occasions. The pattern is forgiving as it hides my potbelly better than the solid colored wrap dresses. I did have to pin the top as it was a little low cut for me.

This is a Pink Staple!
I am a petite gal and this blazer fit great. Normally blazers are too long for me so with the interesting cut on the sleeves, it was perfect!

I liked this for work. It's very flattering and hides a pooch. It was a good length. I received a lot of compliments on the color and the dress.

Pretty top!
This is very cute! I wore it for 2 luncheons already. I stuffed my face and it hides your belly. It's perfect for many seasons as the material is light and has long sleeves, and the shoulder cut outs. I might keep this one!

Not for me
It fit well except the sleeves were really long. I tried this out because it's something I don't normally wear. I tried it and it just wasn't me.

Good work dress but not a WOW
It fit well and I received a compliment on it. I thought the top was white but it was more of a light grey or stone colour. This made me think it looked dirty.

Flattering fit and hides a belly
I wore this for work and a memorial service. It was a very flattering fit and has nice details. I liked the sheer chiffon sleeves with buttons going down the sides of the arms. The top half was blousy and the bottom was fitted and cut to give a nice shape without being too body conscious. It was very appropriate for a memorial device. Stylish but not showy. I would definitely rent it again and highly recommend this dress!

The top that made me start RTR!
I started RTR because my coworker had it on in black and I asked her where she got it. She told me about the RtR unlimited. Small was unavailable so I rented this in medium. It fits fine and its so comfortable. I received a lotnof compliments on it. I plan to hold onto this for a bit and rent again in the future!
