Over the top. Kind of like a slutty Barney the purple dinosaur.
Don't get me wrong. I liked it. It was very over the top though. I tend to be a pretty true 6, but this was tight enough that it rode up. I wore it braless and with the zipper all the way down (because who needs eye contact?) and it still had plenty of oomph . Definitely a great example of a fun thing to rent that I never need to own.

My fiancé said I look like a reporter in this dress.
I was unable to ascertain if this was a good thing or a bad thing. However, we are still getting married. So. That's something. Really like this dress. The fabric reminds me of a cloth napkin at a trendy restaurant that is trying to be nonchalant about its cool factor. You know? Fits well. Needed ironing when I received it, but not since. Voluminous skirt. Looks better with heels than flats imo, because the asymmetric bit of the hem falls below the knee, and I'm pretty tall. Tempted to buy.

I don't always wear a tiny party hat.
But when I do, it's at a one year old's birthday party, and I pair it with flowy pants. These are cute. Not very long. I'm 5'9" and in flats. Would be clownish with a heel. I could have stood to have worn a 10, but the blow to my ego would have been detrimental.

I'm getting too old to wear things like this. But maybe you aren't!
I read the other suggestions in reviews to size up. But alas, an 8 wasn't available. It's super boob revealing (2/3s of each boob was visible, according to my delighted fiancé). That part was fine. It was just a little on the short side, and the time that I wore it without tights, my lower butt got to know parts of restaurant booths that I don't think it should have ever met. The shortness plus the ruffles mean that I regretted it a bit, being halfway to 70. But maybe you won't!

Ideal for Accidental Amelia Earhart Cosplay.
Really loved the color and style, but the arms were almost prohibitively tight, and I don't usually have that problem. Maybe all those two pound Pilates weights have been bulking me up?

I looked like a sausage in casing. An artsy sausage. But. A sausage.
I'm almost always a 6 in dresses, but this one had me want to pack my bags and move into the gym. So. So. Tight. And it squished my boobs like a sports bra. Not good. Also, the slit was made higher and wider by my apparently oversized thigh. I wonder, could I rent a dose of confidence from RTR for when this happens? Then return it and have it dry cleaned for the next woman?

Although my ex-husband said these looked better from "far away," I liked them.
Don't worry. That's not why we divorced. It was much more complicated than pants. Regardless, I loved these flowy, floral pants. Paired them once with a coconut bra for a tiki party, and once with a green silk blouse. I'm 5'9" and had to wear a 2-3 inch heel with these. They are long. Highly recommend. Seemed a little loose to me.

Feminine but quirky!
I love this girly top. I got an 8 because they were out of 6, and I bet a 6 would have been better-- note how long the sleeves are, and I am not short-of-arm. Comfy, pretty, odd subject matter for fabric. A winner!

Love. This. Dress.
Such a gorgeous piece! Fit perfectly. I wore it braless. Loved the details. Loved the print.

I don't want to send this back!
I adore this egregiously expensive sweater. I love the structure detail at the shoulders and the back cutout. I do have to wear a camisole under it. It's thick and awesome and can be dressed up or down.

Beautiful asymmetry .
Loved the neckline and asymmetry. Breezy and feminine. Definitely a winner.

Great cold weather dress. Thick fabric. Flirty and feminine.

You know those crocheted toilet paper covers that look like girls in dresses?
That's what I looked like. Soooo Bad. Skirt was frightfully voluminous. I could have had 4 sets of butts under there. And the top was way too loose.
Red Rose Cake Dress
Alcoolique
Usual Size: 6

Super salacious.
Great dress. Definitely not for the meek. Thick fabric was forgiving. I wore it with a strapless bra. It's super low cut.
Red Meghana Dress

Classy, bold, pocketttsssssssss
Wore this for a recital and also for engagement photos. It photographs soooo well. Loved it. Only downside was that much of the boning was poking out. But. You know. Pain is beauty.
Strapless Stripe Dress
Nicholas
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"

Poofy and fun.
Pretty small in the waist, and voluminous as hell. I wore it with a blousy top. After seeing photos, I'd recommend one wear it with a fitted top.
Windswept Skirt
Badgley Mischka
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"

Simple and nice.
I loved the stitching on this. The neckline was revealing, and a little small on me. Overall, a simple, classic feel.
Levitation Sheath
FINDERS KEEPERS
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32DD
Feminine and sexy.
Wore this once with a camisole for a more conservative event and once without. Definitely sexy and fun with a bra showing through. Love the sleeves and form fittedness of it. Super pretty.
Tulle Tiered Top
Fuzzi
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"

Interesting LBD choice.
A little odd in the shoulders. Super revealing. No way to wear a bra. Overall, unusual, unique, edgy piece.
Black Frances Dress

Great necklace.
Loved this unique necklace. Great for an open neckline.
Night Sky Necklace
Ettika
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32DD
Shiny!
Perfect for NYE. It was tight on me, but stretchy. Very unforgiving and lump revealing. But outrageous enough that it was worth it! Was quite short on me and rode up frequently. Still worth it though.
Contour Mini Dress
Baja East
Size Worn: 1

What eye contact?
Loved this so much I bought it. But don't expect anyone, regardless of gender, to make eye contact with you. Loved the fitted waist and swingy-ness of the skirt. Not itchy.
Purple Lucie Dress
Slate & Willow
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs

Sparkly elegance!
Loved this beautiful sparkly dress! The sequins were a bit scratchy. I also found it to be a little loose around the waist, so I belted it. Otherwise, a gorgeous dress! The skirt is a little bit full and swingy, which is fun.
Gold Cleopatra Dress
Tracy Reese
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"

Feminine, sexy, and fun!
Loved this flirty top. Perfect for holiday parties. The straps covered my bra straps from the front, but they didn't line up perfectly in the back. You definitely need to enlist help tying the straps. It's snug at the waist and has no give. Overall, gorgeous and interesting!
Krysten Top
Alexis
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6

Fun ruffles, odd slit. (that's what he said?)
Loved the ruffly sleeves and almost rose gold hue of the sparkles. Not a fan of how the crossover gapped oddly. It didn't hang quite right. Ameliorated with addition of a camisole, but still wasn't the most flattering.
Marla Top

Sparkles! Pockets! Yes!
This was perfect for a big gallery event in December-- festive, edgy neckline, fun cutouts at the back (but fine to wear a bra!), and pockets! The waist was a teensy bit loose, so I styled it with a belt, which you can't see in this picture due to my wine. Which was a cabernet. If you were wondering.
Black Metallic Adrian Dress

Flouncy, bouncy, beautiful.
Loved this top. Wore it with high waisted black jeans. Definitely would not work with anything lower than high waisted. I chose to wear it over my bra straps, but for those um... bolstered... enough to handle a strapless bra, it might be better that way.

Versatile, comfortable, stylish!
Loved these super stretchy and stylish pants. Work well dressed up with heels or with flats. And, best of all... pocketsssssssss.

Awesome ruffly top without being über girly.
Loved the sleeves, the color, the cleavage slit, the whole thing. The back is see through, FYI. Great blouse!

Leopard, sparkly pink, and cleavage, what's not to love?
Loved this! The straps are a bit loose, so I kept tugging it down. I think I could've possibly sized down. It has pockets! Pocketssssss. Definitely very booby, as you can see. Perfect length. May have to find another occasion to wear this, it's so great!

Cute but grandmotherly, apparently.
I liked the fit of this and the zipper detail. But a few men in my life, independently, remarked that the fabric pattern was "grandmotherly." So. I didn't keep it for long.

A cleavagey romp!
Although cleavage is my superpower, even I couldn't wear this without something under it. Fun, versatile piece. I wore it with flat sandals for a dinner party, and then with heels for a work event. Choose your underwear carefully… This is a wedgie waiting to happen.

Elegant gala dress, and pockets ftw!
Great dress, loved the pockets. Fit true to size. Wore it with a sticky bra, though could have gone without-- just would've cost me some precious cleavage-oomph. Had a moment of sheer panic when the zipper stuck, moments before leaving the house of course-- thankfully remembered the soap trick and all was well. At 5'9 and wearing 3 inch heels, the 6L was perfect.

Hot-- both aesthetically and temperature-wise!
This made me feel like a pretty, pretty ballerina. Lovely and floaty. Other reviewers said that it ran a bit large, so I sized down and got a small, since I think I have a small waist. However, as you can see in the picture, that was fairly snug. Fine enough for a night or two. But snug. Loved all the layers, but other reviewers are correct – – this piece is very very hot. As in, warm. Would definitely rent again in a medium. And in the winter.

Flattering, colorful, and cleavagey-- the perfect trifecta!
I loved this piece, and was able to wear it without a bra. It is stretchy, and forgiving. I love the wide black straps. The six seemed true to size to me.

Super deep V, prepare to wear no bra or a shirt of some kind!
Alas, I wanted to love this piece. However, the V was so deep, there was no way to wear it without showing off much of one's bra. I ended up pinning it, but then it didn't lay the way that it should have. The fabric is lovely and heavy, though. Maybe if I had had a camisole with me, I could've pulled it off a little better?

I almost loved this.
Lovely piece, but it was oddly loose around the stomach, so I had to belt it to give it any shape. Then it looked pretty good, but the button situation in the back was enough to have me not fall in love. So. Hard. To. Pee. Worked well with a strapless bra. Very see through.

Wonderful, though not for the faint-of-cleavage!
Loved this bright, audaciously breasty dress. Great pockets, lovely color. Belt added a great amount of structure.

Everyone told me I looked like a goddess!
Everyone at my art opening was smitten with the romper, and I was too. Loved the flowy sleeves and the cleavage opportunity. Unlike other reviews, I only had the snap pop open a few times. Not a big deal.
