Fun dress!
This dress is really pretty and fairly flattering for being a tighter dress. My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t have a lot of give in the leg area, so I had to take much shorter strides than usual. It would be better to wear when it’s under 80 degrees because it has lining and gets pretty hot.

Cropped but a big baggy
This was a bit of an awkward fit. It was short that I couldn't wear mid-rise pants, but it was a little long to wear over high-waisted pants. And it was too baggy in the waist to stay tucked in. Not sure whose body type this is for.

Great holiday top!
This is a very nice shirt to wear during the holiday season. It’s so soft! The shoulders have boning in them to keep them puffy. Would wear again!

Kind of robe-like
This was a fun dress for a holiday party, but I think it’s a 1-time wear. It feels like fake silk pajamas and it buttons/snaps the full way down. I also had to wear a tank top underneath it because it was so lowcut. I felt like I was wearing a lingerie robe.

Gorgeous.
I got a lot of compliments wearing this jacket to a conference. It has just the right amount of sparkle and other nice details. It fits true to size, but is shorter than most jackets I’ve worn. I expected it to be itchy from looking at it, but it wasn’t. I plan to wear it again before returning it to RTR.

Cute, but no waist
The dress is an adorable pattern with nice accents. But it looks a bit like a maternity dress because it has no waist. I could tell as soon as I saw it on the hanger that it didn’t have much shape. It has a tie that will help give you a little bit of a waist, but not much. It’s not super flattering for an hourglass shape, but would probably look great on someone with more of a pear shape

Weird fabric
These shorts are probably my least favorite RTR rental. The material is a really rough, carpenter-pant like fabric that doesn’t go with the style at all. I felt self-conscious wearing them all day and am surprised so many people like them!

Just ok
This dress is a little large and not that flattering. I sized down based on other reviews, and still found it to be a little big, even with the drawstring. At the same time, it was tight in the arms, so I had to leave the sleeves unbuttoned. I wore it to work once since I had it and I liked the pattern. But I didn’t love it.

Great dress!
Very flattering dress with a fun pattern. I was a little concerned that it wouldn’t fit when I saw how teeny tiny it looked on the hanger, but it has great stretch. Would wear again!

Cute as a set; a little boxy
This jacket is super cute with the matching pants. I sized down based on reviews, and it’s still fairly boxy. I bought the set since it was a good price. I’ll probably get the jacket taken in.

Cute as a set!
These pants are super cute with the matching jacket. Ankle-length at 5’6”. I ended up buying the set since it was a good price. If you’re between sizes, I’d say to size up because they’re slightly tight in the waist.

I wore this 3 times during the month I had it; once to work and twice on weekends. It’s a very unique color pattern. The sweater is well-made. It looks lightweight while still being fairly warm.

Absolutely stunning
As two different friends commented on my Instagram story, this dress is FIRE. It’s perfect in every way, though slightly short for business attire. I wore it while lobbying in the Senate and felt like a million bucks. I will probably buy it.

Very warm and well-made skirt. I wore it with the matching sweater on Valentine’s Day. I didn’t think either piece was particularly flattering, but when I see photos, I guess they were!

Sexy winter dress
Very flattering for a long-sleeved, thick material dress. I wore it on New Years Eve, after deciding it was a bit too revealing for a business holiday party. The dress is very short and shows a lot of cleavage. I loved the subtle sparkle of the dress!

Pretty dress
This dress has really great details in the sleeves, waist, and neckline. You don’t need to wear jewelry with it. It is a little more empire-waisted than it looks in photos, which I don’t find super flattering. But it’s a nice option for a holiday party.

Warm and stiff
The person whose review said it looks like a carpet is not wrong. It’s pretty, but a little odd. I found the dress a bit stiff and without much stretch, which was unexpected for a sweater dress. I wore it all day to work and a party had it was comfortable enough. It is not at all forgiving for curves. The dress is quite warm, and is good for the holidays and the accompanying weather.

Nice jacket
This is a very well-made and classy jacket. I wore it for a conference where I gave a presentation. I sized up based on some of the reviews about the arms being right. It felt slightly boxy and I think it would have been more flattering if I wore my regular size, but the arms may well have been too tight then. I wore it on a 55 degree day and it was warm enough to not need another jacket.

Not bad, but very basic
I got several compliments on this dress, but it’s nothing special. It wouldn’t mind owning it if I’d bought it at a department store for $40, but it does not look like a designer dress. I found it to be slightly large and to show a lot of cleavage. I wore a cami underneath. It’s fairly thick material and good for a fall day with some tights.

No room for hips
These were at least 2, if not 3, sizes too small. I didn’t even get close to being able to button them. I am a 29 or 8 in many brands, and even a 28 or 6 in some, so there’s no reason a 29 should have been so unbelievably small. Shame on me for not reading enough reviews. Definitely steer clear if you have curves.

Gorgeous dress. A little small
This dress is a total showstopper. It’s sexy, elegant, and very well-made. I’d say to size up if you have a larger chest. I’m a 34D and wore my normal size, and it was extremely tight up top when I put it on. It did stretch out a bit throughout the evening, though. The length was perfect at 5’6” with heels.

Great gown, weird sleeve
This is a very classy gown for a black tie event. The sleeves/arms are pretty awkward to put on and I still don’t quite think I understand what they were going for! I’m usually concerned about length with rented gowns, but at 5’6” with 3 inch heels, the length was just right.

A knockout!
This dress is a showstopper. It’s my second rental from this brand and I absolutely love it. It fits true to the size chart, but it’s definitely made for smaller people. I usually wear an 8 or a 6, but I wear a large in this brand. Wear high heels if you’re under 5’8”!

A knockout!
This is an absolutely gorgeous dress. I wore it out on New Years Eve, and several strangers stopped me to tell me how great I looked. I got the 6 and the 8 and sized down, though there wasn’t a huge difference between the two.

High-waisted if you’re curvy
I didn’t really expect these pants to be high/waisted based on others’ photos, but I have an hourglass figure where my hips are much larger than my waist. My regular size was a bit tight. I wore them to my office holiday lunch and got lots of compliments.

Nice dress, a little large
This is a pretty and well-made dress and is great for a holiday party. I got my regular size and it was a little large in the waist and hips. There was way too much extra material in the hip area, which made me look bigger. The sleeve length is odd too. Still, I got a lot of compliments!

Fun, but weird fit
This top is a really cool idea, but not the best-executed I found it to be pretty tight, yet still boxy and not super flattering. Maybe it’s not the best for someone with a smaller waist with a larger chest and shoulders. The sleeves also seemed shorter on me than in many others’ photos, which is strange because I’m not super tall (5’6”). Still, I got a lot of compliments and it was appropriate for a holiday party.

Gorgeous holiday dress
The photos (not just mine) do not do justice to the sparkly accents on this dress. It’s perfect for a holiday party. I’ll probably wear it again before the season is over. I agree with other reviews that it runs small and has no stretch, so I’m glad I sized up.

Nice pants!
I’m a lawyer and I wore this to trial with the matching jacket. I got a lot of compliments! I got my regular size (8) and they fit a little snug in the waist, while the size 6 jacket was a little large if anything. The material is thick, so it’s good for a fall or winter day, though they are cropped pants.

I got so many compliments on this dress! It is absolutely stunning. I wore it to a black tie event, and loved that it had a “black tie.” I may end up buying it. I typically wear a medium, but the large fit true to the size chart.

Weird fit and zipper
I ordered this as a backup for a formal event. I don’t think I’ll wear it. It was fairly tight in the waist, even though I usually wear an 8 and this was a 10. But it was too large in the shoulders. It has a lower v-shaped back with straps that have a bit too much width between them. The oddest part is the zipper. It is on the inner layer rather than the outer, and it’s pretty difficult to zip, especially with the wide band at the waist. The dress is pretty long. I’m 5’6” and it’s barely off the floor with 3-inch heels. Lovely color and style, but it could be better.
