Cute nothing special
Cute everyday top. The elastic on the end of the sleeves was a little annoying. I wore the XL so it fit my bust, but the waist was large. Would not rent again.

What in the oversized-heck is this?!
Based on stock photos and renter photos, I had no idea this was blouse was going to be extremely oversized and wide. I tried wearing it tucked in, but it just looks silly. Size down if you like your tops loose. I don’t think a medium would have helped. When I received it at first, I thought I had received the wrong size. Nope, that’s the large. What a waste of a swap.

I bought it. So feminine.
The floral print and flower placement is a little different from the post in the app, but I’m happy overall. My top was more black.

Classic and well made
I wore this several times. I was able to button all the way, and it accommodated my large chest.

It fit just right in the bust, but the sleeves made me feel frumpy and bulky.
It’s beautiful fabric, bur not a good fit. Sizing down would have fit in the waist and arms, but then the bust would have been too tight.

Tight on the waist, sloppy on me
I ordered the size 31 and it is very tight on the waist. The fabric on the front waist is thick and tough, and feels like cardboard. The hip area fit fine. This trend looks better on the model.

Arm jokes are kind of big, exposing part of my bra. I wore a skin toned bra, so it wasn’t too bad. Received lots of compliments.

Beautiful, but tight on bust
A tight fit on my bust is an ongoing problem with my rentals. This is a beautiful dress, but the size 16 was a bit tight on my 40c bust. Sadly, I did not wear this.

Has pockets- but adds bulk
Overall, this was an ok dress. The fabric is like linen. It has pockets, which makes the hip area look bulky. It’s a little matronly looking, but I loved that you can tie the waist to give it a slender appearance.

Itchy and tight
I’m usually a size 14 or 16 in this designer. I ordered the 16 and it was tight in the arms and I could barely zip it up over my chest. The fabric was itchy on my arms.

I generally don’t like clothing wrapped around my neck, but top was a gem. It was a little low cut, but I used a safety pin. I wore it to an even outdoors where it was chilly. The recommended size was spot on. Will rent again.

Beautiful fabric, roomy in the hips
I wore the 1XR size because it was the only size available. It was comfortable in the bust area, but a little big in the waist and hip area. I wore it with a jean jacket. Not sure if the smaller size would have been tight in the bust. Would rent again.

Did not wear, made for petites
This jacket was too small. My arms were super tight, and the overall fit was short. Very uncomfortable and tight in the shoulders and arms. This is meant for smaller chests or petites. I did not wear. Pretty fabric though.

Just ok
The other reviews were accurate regarding the fitted style. The skirt has no give, and just fit me. I’d you’re between sizes, and have a bit of a tummy, size up. Just wore it once. I couldn’t find a top that went well with this.

Feel is like a fancy nightgown
Pretty fabric. The straps are not adjustable, so the neckline just hangs low. Roomy in the chest. I wish I could have pulled up the straps a bit. Major design flaw. Wore it around the house. Won't be renting again.

Didn't wear out in public
Pro: soft material Con: the back is super low and I was not able to wear a strapless otherwise it would have been visible. So I didn't wear in public. It has these annoying plastic straps, that are used for hanging on the hanger. These straps kept popping out of the dress. I owned the dress I would have cut them off.

Too much fabric
I'm glad I sized down to a 12R. The recommended 14R would have been huge. The dress doesn't have the best fabric, kind of rough. I felt like I was wearing an oversized kitchen apron. I had to use a safety pin to keep my girls from popping out. I had to keep adjusting the top. The pockets in the front are unnecessary and made me look bulky. I won't be renting this again.

Size down! Beautiful material
Pro: beautiful fabric. It's flowy and you can wear different color tops with it. Con: I only wore it once because it runs large. I picked size 14 based on a recommendation from RTW, but the waist was too large. It fell to my hips, and I wanted to wear it on the waist. Make sure you size down if you're in between sizes. My waist is 30, and the 12 would have been better.

Pop of color and scalloped sleeves
I love this dress. Still contemplating whether I want to buy it. I love the peek-a-boo pops of color in the seams. The fabric is thick, but not heavy. I love the scalloped sleeves and neckline. It also has a good amount of stretch, so my bust was roomy. It also defined my waist. I wore a large. An XL had also been recommended, but the XL would have been too big. I had no cons about this dress.

Fun print
Pro- really fun print. Soft material and fit well on my shoulders and chest. Con- had to wear a tank top underneath to keep my chest from popping out. Using a safety pin didn't work because it looked so awkward. The blouse is also very short. Goes well with a skirt or wide legged pants pants.

Feminine and light
This is a very light and thin dress. If you're big chested, I recommend wearing a slip underneath. I loved the wrap style and that it created a waist for me. It was a very relaxed fit. I wore a XL based on the recommendations. I would rent again.

Nice thick fabric
A great dress to wear in cold months. Bust was a little snug, but the fabric has stretch. I was happy with the size. If I had sized up, it would have looked loose on my waist and probably looked pregnant.

Itchy and runs big
Pro: looks pretty Con: itchy fabric. This also runs big. I ordered a 14 based on recommendations, but this was not accurate. Should have gone with a 12. The waist is large, as are the armholes. It fit a little loose on my bust. I hate waisting swaps on something that doesn't fit. :(

Runs large in the chest and shoulders
This a a pretty dress, but the size is off. It's very loose fitting on top. I should have sized down. I was recommended at 16R, but should have gone with a 14R. I also had to use safety pins to close the gaps on the buttoned down front. It was nice in theory, but I won't rent this again.

Runs large
I rented this to get out of my comfort zone. I trusted the sizing recommendation and was let down. :(. The 3XL was too huge. The dress is loose on the strapless side, and was too big for my 40c/38dd bust.

Pro: beautiful embroidery, beautiful dress. Could have worn without a bra Con: I should have sized down. The 16r was loose on the waist, and huge on top. I'm a 40c/ 38 dd, and the top was just loose. I gave it 4 stars because I didn't wear it. What a pity and waste of a swap.

Didn't wear it. Bust runs small.
This specific style runs small in the bust and shoulder area bathe straps are not adjustable and dug into my shoulders. The bust area is super tight I've ordered this dress in another print from RTR before, and the 14 fit just fine. I should've ordered 16. What a waste of a swap.

This dress has as just meh. I ordered the XL based on the recommended size, but should have gone with a Large. The waist was big too. The bow and on the side just hangs there, and is not part of the wrap top. Pitty that I wasted a swap on this dress. Size down because this dress has a lot of stretch.
