Size Up
Size up on this dress, it didn't fit. I agree with other reviews about the neckline being too big and droopy.

Too Small and Too Large at the same time
I agree with several people on this website. It fit me perfectly at the hips and body, When it got to my bust it wouldn't zip but felt very large in the cup area. Gorgeous in person, wish this worked on my body. I have broader shoulders and small hips, this was a no go.

This dress fit me well but ended up not being appropriate for the event I was going to. I might rent this dress for a NYE party.

Classy + Flirty = Great Dress
I've rented from RTR for years and this is one of my faves that I will never forget! It fit me like a glove. It is a gorgeous black dress and I liked how the material sparkled without being sequined. I wore it to a 2500 -person Gala and it fit the occasion perfectly. It was fun and flirty but also classy. The neckline doesn't show any cleavage in my case but the dress bore a lot elsewhere. Straps were adjustable and there was a pocke. Would rent again.

Not One of My Favorites But It Got The Job Done
I wanted to find something last minute for a polo match and this was what I thought would be appropriate. It definitely got the job done and was appropriate for any spring occasion outdoors and along those lines. Full disclosure this is not my style to begin with and I don't often end up at polo matches (this was my first). Every one in my circle hated on the double red bows in the front before I tried the dress on. They are a bit odd and unnecessary. Once the dress was one, they didn't bother me as much. I wasn't crazy about this dress, and no one around me was either. But, it wasn't terrible. It fit very well and humbly pulled through on a day that it was my only option, so I was grateful for that and have no regrets. I didn't have any issues with the chest as some ladies have mentioned. I've rented a lot of jaw dropping dresses on here over the years and ones I couldn't even wear, this dress was average and I got what I needed from it for the event.

Too Small
This dress looked gorgeous bout I could not get it to zip up. I am on the more slender size and a 36B and the size 6 did not fit me. I wish I could have worn it.

I have rented the skirt probably three times. I absolutely love it. It is perfect for the office or if you're just going out on a date; whatever the case may be. It fits true to size and… Most importantly… It is so comfortable!

Want Sequins?!
I wore this to ring in the roaring 20s. It was hard to pull over and put on, especially since there was no zipper and my arms were hard to get through. A little tight around the bust. Regardless, it was a head turner, and when my NYE plans changed I dressed it down with some jeans and still got compliments!

Wore It For My Professional Work Photo
This was my go to for my professional work photo. So now it is all over the internet! Fit like a glove, and honestly Rebecca Taylor is now my go-to for blazers because of the fit! Very summery, I got compliments from everyone in the office and wore this to work often. Through a bright shirt underneath it (the one in the phot is from Target) and you will look like 1 Million Bucks! #work #whiteblazer #professional #blazer #rebeccataylor

LOOK LIKE A BOSS!
I originally rented a 2R but it was way too tight around the bust. If fit everywhere else perfectly, so I sized up one size. Still was a little tight around the bust, and I usually don't wear things that low cut to work, but I threw a RTR blazer over it and I looked classy and chic for both work and a networking/holiday party that followed immediately after work. I recommend pairing this with the Rachel Zoe blazer (light pink in color). Wear heels, the pants run long in all sizes!

JOGGER PANTS? OR PAJAMAS?
The pictures are misleading--it looks like from the photos the pants can work in a professional setting. They do not! They look like track pants or pajamas no matter how dressed up you make the rest of your outfit. Sadly my least favorite rental in terms of style. May be good to sleep in or jog in though!

Would Rent Again!
I absolutely loved this blazer and would rent it again. It's gray, classy, and also has a little bit of edginess to it. It's just perfect. If I rent it again I may end up buying it. #work #classy #blazer

Perfect Fall Dress for Work!
I started wearing this at work for "Red Friday" (Go Chiefs). It is a perfect fall dress, and even black leggings or a shall would help accent it really well! The color is less red than it appears in the photo, and the ribbon can come undone quite easily. Overall, a great fall outfit!!! Order now!

Not Boring For Work! Great Fall Material! Tons of Compliments!
Pros: I've gotten about 8 compliments from different people on this dress the one day I wore it to work. Nothing boring about it. The color is conservative but the flow of the dress is truely unique and will help you stand out! Plus, the material is Cons: WEAR A SHAPER IF YOU HAVE EVEN AN OUNCE OF FAT ON YOUR BELLY! I had to go two sizes up just so my Kangaroo Pouch wouldn't;t be awfully obvious.

Runs Small!
I absolutely love the color, that's what sold me. However, with all the buttons it was very snug around my waist and chest. For that reason I am deducting several stars. It does not run true to size--please size up ladies!

Still weird fit
I don't recommend this dress if you have wide set breasts like I do. I never felt comfortable in this dress and I even ordered a different size thinking that the size was the issue. Nope, it's my body. Never got to wear. Gorgeous Tiffany blue color though.

Perfect Work Blazer!
Pros: fits like a glove, perfect black jacket for work Cons: the button felll off while I was waking right in front of a big corporate person. Could have been put together earlier. Early to get white fibers on it. Aside from that mishap I definitely recommend it!

Perfect with work, add a black blazer!
Gotta love Kate Spade! This was a perfect summer dress for work especially when I put a black blazer over it. I looked awesome in corporate meetings, and received loads of compliments from my coworker. Dress was true to size, just a bit of a challenge to put on with all the buttons in the back. Perfect spring work dress as well, or for a wedding.

Great Last Minute Add-On!
I rented a black dress from RTR and this was under suggested accessories. I had never added on an accessory at the end, but this time I chose to because I always end up needing a clutch last minute. This clutch was phenomenal! I liked the detail yet simplicity of it, and it went perfectly with my LBD. It fit my cell phone, keys, and some of my make up. Plus it had a strap to make it easy to carry around all night. I will definitley be renting accessories more often!

Very gamlorous and sexy! But order 2 dresses!!!
Pros: It was perfect for a formal/semi formal gala/award show. I received a lot of compliments regarding how glamorous and how stunning I looked. I felt very sexy yet classy all night. The size 6R is similar to the size that fit me best (see below as to why I didnt wear it). Built in bra. The design was amazing. Cons: VERY IMPORTANT! Order 2 dresses! The 4R fit me much better (true to size) but I noticed the bow was saggy/droopy and not nearly as flattering as the larger size. It also smelled like mildew! I brought this up to RTR as soon as I noticed this issue the same day the dresss came in. Their customer service was great althlough I would have preferred more of a refund. Rent 2 sizes just in case the bow is droopy. The 6R was big and dragged on the floor, but looked aesthically way better on my body without the droopy bow. I really wish this dress was a bit smaller to the ground. I wore 3 inch heels and it was still dragging and I ordered a regular! Ive never had a issue like the witb RTR and understand that things happen. think things could have been handled better.

Alright, Edgy, Could Be Better
Pros: fits true to size. Well, almost. See cons. I have zero hips and it somehow gave me an hourglass shape for the first time! I worse this with a black lace bra and it worked perfectly with the outfit. You can dress it up with a statement necklace, or dress it down. I wore it out for NYE and it kept me warm. Also, super comfy!!!! Cons: Maybe it's my shoulders but the part that went over my shoulders kept falling off and it felt too big, but only in the shoulder area and bust. I am a 32C. Everything else fit like a glove. I didn't get any compliments and I didn't feel particularly glamorous, but then again I was going to a low key NYE event. I don't recommend this for semi formal or upward, or if you really want to stand out. At least I was comfortable and warm!

One of the best RTR dresses!
This dress fit me like a glove. I bought an adhesive bra based on other reviews...wasn't for me! I wore a C cup strapless bra instead and just tucked the back of the bra below the back of the dress so it wasn't visible. Super easy! Depending on your body, you may not need a bra at all! I felt elegant and sexy at the same time. My friend said I added some sassiness to elegancy. This dress is perfect for a wedding -- I specifically wore it to an evening outdoor/indoor wedding in Texas in October (it was hot outside). The dress is such a focal point, you don't need much jewelry or accessories. I wore black Michael Kors heals that worked well with the black on the back. This dress is tied as my other all time fave by Hutch. My husband is currently convincing me to buy this Nanette dress. I just might, and will totally rent it again! It was his favorite, ever, and a crowd pleaser without stealing the spotlight from the bride.

Good simple party dress! Super comfortable!
This dress was suggested under RTR's Bridal Shower category, and that is what I needed it for. A lot of the other comments about this dress are absolutely correct. Pros: The dress itself does run one size large so I took the advice and ordered a S and and XS; wore the XS. You CAN wear a nude push-up strapless bra with this no problem. It is super comfortable and can hide any problem areas you may have (goodbye kangaroo pouch!) Overall it was perfect and subtle for the occasion. I just wish I had hips! Cons: The straps run large no matter how small the dress is and can fall off easily. The dress length felt particularly shorter on me than it did in other reviewers photos and on the model. I did not find it particularly flattering for my straight and narrow frame but did get a few compliments.

Backup dress surprise!
Pros: This dress came as a backup dress for a size RTR didn't have in the dress I ordered. I was bummed at first but then I put it in and it was practically the same! Cons: I wore it to a gala. Bad choice--not fancy enough but that is my fault! It is too short for galas and business formals. If I could do it over I would have worn it for Valentine's Day.

Great party dress! Flashy!
I wore this dress for a 2014 Christmas party at a casino. It was my first RTR dress and the size 6 gilt like a glove. I was probably 125 lbs and a 34B at the time. The fabric kinda molds to your body so regardless of your frame it is elastic enough to fit you well. My friend rented the blue one and loved it as well. There is more detail in the fabric than you can tell on the website or app. It also was very comfortable. I would definitely rent this dress again.

After 3 years on this site, this dress was the best!
It fits true to size. I wore a 4 and I wear a 4 blouse to work. I worse this to an industry award I got nominated for, and although I did not win the award, wearing this dress was an award within itself. I'm not a compliment-seeker (but I got several) I just wanted to look elegant and award-ready. Mission accomplished. Pros: Elegant. And when I mean elegant, I felt like Audrey Hepburn. Which is great, because I love her style. Elegant is what I wanted, and what I got. All for the perfect price. I've rented since 2014, so my expectations were higher. Cons: The zipper and putting the dress on.! The zipper gets stuck when the fabric changes but is always fixable. I found putting the dress on to be a challenge. Other: I wore this with my hair up and Michael Kors shoes
