cute, in theory
wanted to love this and it looks so cute on the hanger, but I have a bigger chest and I just looked like Mrs. Claus ... def made for smaller frames

easy breezy
these pants were so light and airy in the heat. I initially got them to wear to work but they are extremely see-through so I wore them to a casual day outing instead …even nude underwear was not totally invisible and I felt a lil self-conscious. It’s whatever for everyday wear but watch out!

perfect for a black tie gala, LOVED the look of this dress and the way it flowed. It was pretty tight so the girlies were extremely out and I had to keep adjusting the top out of fear all night, but that’s probably just my body type!

super cute but SO cropped. The size L looked kinda like a knit sports bra on me so I didn’t wear it. Idk why RTR doesn’t carry all sizes when designers do because I liked it enough that I ended up buying a size XL directly from madewell instead when I realized RTR’s sizing options stopped at L. Pretty discouraging!

obsessed! I see why they call this a nap dress but I would have done anything in it. It was girly without being too precious. I couldn’t wear a bra but used sticky boobs and it worked perfectly fine. My only regret is not buying it 🥲

such a comfy top and surprisingly not too hot, even on a humid evening in the middle of summer, plus it was flattering on my large chest despite the peplum shape usually doing the opposite.

loved this so so much ! I got so many compliments and was tempted to keep it. I wore it with a cami underneath so it was much more modest than the model — way more comfortable and versatile that way

not sure if this somehow shrunk or if it was bring your toddler to work day in the design room, but this is laughably small. I literally laughed. I couldn’t even attempt to try it on, and I had my size S friend try this size XL just to make sure I wasn’t crazy — she couldn’t get it on either??

idk what this style is but I like it
I’d buy this if I could but if I could I wouldn’t be here! I wore it several times and will probably rent again. It’s a fairly thin material and was super cozy. With brown boots it felt a little office country, but in a good way, not a yeehaw way. You could probably get your regular size or even size down for a tighter fit if that’s your vibe, but I sized up for comfort and didn’t regret.

certainly in your face
if I hadn’t had to keep adjusting this all night it’d prob get 5 stars. I usually hate tops that are so revealing because hello I have a large chest but it was fun for a night. I was constantly scared for a boob to pop out and the shoulders refused to stay up, though — a strapless bra helped with both!

silky curtain
look it fit and there was technically nothing wrong with it, but the front panel and the way it draped and kept moving made me feel a little like maria von trapp had made me a curtain dress but went to pottery barn for the fabric. I did get compliments, so that might be dramatic, but just something to keep in mind for my fellow big chested girlies who have to watch out for matronly vibes.

wore this for a super casual NYE instead of the usual glam. It is a bit wide but I kinda liked that because it didn’t ride up too much when I raised my arms. Surprisingly warm! It wasn’t super chilly and I was 🥵

housewife vibes but in a good way?
Very "housewife bringing her famous cherry pie to the picnic", but it was fun and pretty breathable for a hot and humid afternoon spent outside. I liked it more than I thought I would. I went with the XL over the L because I have a big chest (and it was still VERY boob-y), but if that's not a concern for you, you might want to size down as it's a lot of fabric on the bottom and the front tie is adjustable.

Cute dress and love the bright color, but it fit everywhere except my chest. It flattened my boobs in an unflattering way without a bra and the neckline made wearing one impossible for me.

So fun
I wore this multiple times as a swimsuit cover up. I didn't want to send it back! So fun, but it does run quite large so I don't know how well it'd work as part of a regular outfit. I sized down one to a M and it was perfect.

Cute but big
I wore this for a hot day at wineries and it worked well and was really comfortable. The eyelet details and shoulder ties are a nice touch. It was definitely a little big on me and I should have sized down, which made the top feel a bit awkward as I have a large chest and kept adjusting it all day.

Fit TTS for madewell tops, but the straps aren't adjustable so they were a little long on me and kept falling down. Otherwise it was great for the summer -- lightweight and breathable, plus fun colors.

small in chest
I have a larger bust, and this was too small in the chest for me to wear. Because of the way seams are sewn, it ended up squishing my chest and making it look misshapen, which is not really a look anyone is going for. The shirt seems cute and comfy, though, so I'll try a larger size.

Casual and relaxed top
I wore this as a swimsuit coverup, though I think it would work for any casual outfit in the summer. I sized down from an L to an M only because that's what was available and it still fit me with plenty of room to spare, so it definitely runs large.

weird, small fit
I wear a lot of madewell clothes, both through RTR and my own purchases, and for some reason this dress ran so much smaller than the other madewell dresses I have in this same style. I couldn't even get it fully on.

fun and unique
This dress fits TTS and is super comfortable, even if you have a larger chest. I was even able to wear a regular bra because of the placement of the front tie, and it's overall roomy without being baggy. I love how different and bold it is! It did get a bit hot for a summer wedding because the lining fabric isn't the most comfortable/breathable, but it wasn't anything unbearable.

Boxy shape not flattering on larger sizes
This shirt's material was nice, but the size L fit was so odd. It was too small in some places, like the length, and then huge in others, like the width. I don't mind a boxy fit, but this was laughably off.

Fun and comfy
I loved this shirt! I wore it several times and always got compliments. I also wore it to get vaccinated because the sleeves were the perfect length but I needed pizazz (obviously). It's TTS, but the only thing to keep in mind if you're larger-chested like me is that it did pull a little around the buttons. Nothing impractical though, and the fabric was really comfortable and perfect for variable spring temperatures -- soft and sturdy but not so thick that you'll feel smothered in the sun.

The fit of this was TTS for me, though it is a bit cropped if that isn't your thing. I wore it for happy hour with friends. And the silk makes it really comfortable even if it wrinkles easily.

Great lightweight sweatshirt
This sweatshirt was true to size, but if you have a larger chest it might feel a bit more cropped. It was really comfy and more versatile than I expected, and I ended up wearing it more than I thought I would. It's a pretty standard sweatshirt, so it's not necessarily anything special, but I still loved it for both loungewear and running errands.

comfy and cute
this dress was perfect for an early fall wedding. I wore my usual size, an 8, and even with my larger chest it wasn't too snug. It was comfy, I could wear a normal bra, and it has pockets — I'll definitely be renting this one again.

one of my favorite rentals to date!
comfortable, makes a statement while still being subtle. I was skeptical of the side cutouts because I have a larger chest and I thought I'd be hanging out without a bra, but I didn't have any problems. I did size down to a 6 from my usual 8 so that I'd be held in better, but it's true to size. I'd love to rent again!

beautiful dress
I loved this dress! It's such a great quality and was perfect for a formal wedding. It was pretty true to size, but it might run small depending on your rib cage because there isn't any give. I'm a pretty true size 8 and it was slightly tight, but otherwise comfortable! My only complaint is that the straps were a little loose, but not annoying. Some girls were saying you need fashion tape, but I'm a 34DD and found that it did just fine with no bra and there was only a little side boob but no chance of a slip, so I didn't feel like it was too revealing of a dress for a formal event. Also, I wore wedge sandals with only the slightest heel and the regular was a good length at 5'7". I would definitely rent this again!

Comfy and subtly dressy
I got this dress last-minute for my free birthday dress and was pleasantly surprised. It fits true to size and was very comfortable the whole night. I could wear a normal bra with the straps crossed too. The sparkle and detail on the top is also really subtle, so it adds a little something extra but not over the top. The one downside is that it's either not made well or has seen some wear and tear: some of the sequins and stitching looked like they'd seen better days and were loose or fraying. Luckily, it isn't really noticeable.

This dress was perfect for a fall wedding. It was super comfy and I was actually able to wear a regular bra with it, which was the biggest perk. It's a beautiful color in person and has a good weight to it.

pretty, but not made for larger busts
I really wanted to love this dress because it looks so awesome on the model, but it really isn't made for anyone with a chest. Not the fault of the dress, but it would not stay put, even with fashion tape, and it felt a little inappropriate for a formal event because of that. I think it would be fine on someone with a smaller chest, though. The fabric is beautiful and flowy and other than the chest was very comfortable to wear. Also a head's up that it is a little short -- I'm 5'7" and never have needed a "long" size, but the 6R hit around my ankles.

great for a summer wedding
This dress was loose and flowy enough to wear to a summer wedding, and the colors are perfect for it. It was super comfortable and I was able to wear a regular bra with it (though I would recommend nude). The elastic waist is nice. While the small size fit better around the waist, the pleats looked a little weird stretched out over my 34DD chest, so I went with the medium. Something to consider for larger-chested women. My biggest complaint was the length -- I am 5'7" and the regular length was extremely long on me without heels. While it's not a huge deal and it was easy to just pick up, anyone shorter would need pretty tall heels to avoid stepping on this dress. Overall, it was really fun to wear!

unique and easy to wear
RTR sent me this dress as a replacement for the one I originally ordered for a wedding, and I ended up loving this one so much more than the original. I would definitely rent again if it were cheaper. It's unique and a beautiful material (it's a little thicker, but even in August in DC it didn't feel too hot), but was also really comfortable, especially with the pockets. The length is conservative enough that it was appropriate for a church wedding, but it was still easy to move in and dance later in the night. My only complaint was that it felt like it ran a little small due to the cut of the dress; I am usually between a 6 and an 8, but the 8 was extremely hard to zip up over my 34DD chest. So if you are larger in the bust, I'd recommend going one size up for your backup. Otherwise, it fits true to size.
