Fleabag Halloween costume
Wore this as my Halloween costume to dress as the character Fleabag. I had to size up because my normal size (6P) wasn't available, though the length was great. I ordered an 8R because I never saw a 8P available. The 8P would've been perfect, but I made the 8R work by fabric taping the bottoms up a few inches.

Beautiful blue, long skirt
Loved this long skirt to wear as seasons transition. The skirt is partially lined and I was able to tuck my shirt without creating any visible lines. I'm 5'2" and this hit about 3 inches above my ankle.

Great color, fun sleeves
Snatched this up because it's one of my fave colors. It's a soft sweater (though I was the first to wear it, had tags on when I received). The sleeves are great. Nothing out of this world, but nice brightness to introduce in the colder months.

+ fun sleeves & fall print, - too short for work
Loved the sleeves on this fall dress! Only con is it was a bit too short for my personal comfort at work (and I'm a short lady) so I kept checking that it hadn't ridden up all day. Runs a teensy bit small, so size up if you're curvy (especially hips and chest area)/between sizes/bloated/etc.

Great work dress!
I liked this simple and great work dress! The sweetheart neckline might need to be taped down for bustier ladies, but it worked with my C-cups. Nice dress for fall/between seasons. Includes a faux wrap tie on the left hip.

Simple LBD that is striking. Fits well and was the perfect chilly fall night dress for a dinner date. I wouldn't mind it being a staple in my closet.

This was a lovely long dress that I enjoyed wearing to work. Fun print, but also not too distracting. Cozy.

Swishy shoulders
I love a dress with fun shoulders and this did not disappoint. This was nice to wear to a wedding, whilst weather is still warm. The sleeves were fun to swish while dancing.

Nude allusion!
This is a fun twist on the LBD! The "cut outs" are lined with a light fabric that perfect matched my pale skin. So while that looks like skin peeks, it's definitely not and easily hid a tattoo! Not sure how the lining would look on darker skin, but be aware that it is lined and not simply lace on skin for the cut outs.

Tie dye trendy
I mistakenly thought this was a jersey material dress based on photos alone, but it's not and so it fit differently than a jersey dress and was a bit more elevated than the casual vibe I was imagining. Flowy and cute.

Gorgeous fit and flare with a touch of pink
The pink is much more noticeable in person. Sharp dress for work that was flattering. Material was thick and nice.

Liked the pattern, but issues with the dress
I liked the pattern but had a few issues with the dress. There's a front clasp (where I'm pointing in the photo) that's a pressed button (like Barbie doll clothes) that unsnapped frequently throughout the day. I have a medium sized chest so I can't imagine what this would to do to someone with larger chest/shoulders. The lining starts at waist and goes halfway down the bottom of garment, but I was annoyed with it riding and putting it back in place after using the restroom. Wouldn't rent again.

Bright dress with huge sleeves
I got compliments on this dress, but I didn't love wearing it. The sleeves were annoying (and I'm usually fond of an eccentric sleeve) and I thought it looked much better with a jacket. There are button enclosures for the wrap which was nice and secure. There are also buttons in the outer waist that were honestly annoying and I'll imagine they'll have to be re-sewn on often because they didn't seem sturdy.

Breezy and fun. I loved wearing this. Pockets!! For me, the plunge was conservative enough to wear to work.

Fantastic quality floral skirt
I LOVED this high quality floral skirt. It was perfect for work and I would maybe buy if it was ever available in my true size. I ordered up a size just because I wanted to try it.

This was a nice, cozy, floral dress. The shape was really nice. The colors were not quite as vibrant as I thought they would be. Was able to wear this to work and to weekend events - versatile and lovely!

Fun stripes, somewhat form fitting
Cute work dress, that looks better when layering (lots of others paired with a jacket or cardigan). It hugs parts of your body (my hips) and I didn't love that - but was able to hide. It IS short and I'm an already short lady, I had to be extra careful with this riding up when walking with a backpack.

Lovely wide leg jumpsuit!
Lovely denim jumpsuit. Was my first foray into the wide leg trend and I enjoyed! Somehow worked on my short frame while wearing flats as well! Adjustable straps were nice and the jumpsuit is lined with a peach fabric.

Cute button details!
Fun summer dress to wear for work and on a weekend day. It was too low cut for me so I paired with a cami. This IS a wrap dress so there's a hidden button inside to secure on the inside of the waist (took me a bit too long to realize this). You do have to individually button all of the buttons on the outside as well. Cute and unique! Would rent again.

Initially thought mediocre, ended up loving it!
When I first tried this on, I thought it was mediocre. After a full day of wearing it, I ended up loving this dress. The fabric lays on the body nicely and flows while you walk. Because of where the dress naturally hit my waist (shorter lady, not a lot of torso) I had a bunch of excess fabric that bunched in the top half of the dress. After repositioning it in the morning, the excess fabric stayed on the back side of the top half for the rest of the day and didn't bother me again. Fun and unique!

Be my valentine?
Enjoyed wearing this super light dress. It fits oversized and doesn't cling to the body. It was nice, but not especially memorable.

Flowy, one of a kind work dress
This is the epitome of the type of dress I love to rent: fun to wear, comfortable, and eye catching. So memorable that your coworkers would notice if you wore it too often, hence why it makes a perfect rental. The dress is more lilac in person than in photographs and there is a slight peep hole in the chest. It was fine with my chest size but not sure how it would fit fuller busts.

Light & breezy work top
Loved this light and breezy work top! I wish I had trusted the size recommend to me by RTR (S), but didn't because there were no reviews yet so I got my usual size (M). Go with the recommended size!!

Compliments on the dress, but overall it was a hassle
The dress was a hassle to wear and I had to take a few steps to make it work for me. As another reviewer said, it fits well above the waist, but waist and hips down are tight. Size up if you've got wide hips! If I had worn my normal size, this never would've worked. From waist down, the dress is lined, but the top is unlined. This mean that my tattoo could show through the fabric, which I didn't want for work. Additionally, the front was too low to wear to work without a cami. You'll also need to wear shape wear for the dress to lay flat on you while wearing a cami and any undergarments. So while I got a few compliments while wearing this, I wish I had known all the steps I would need to take to make this dress work for me before I rented.

Perfect lilac & so many compliments!
I received SO many compliments on this so decided to hang onto it and wear it more than intended. I'll definitely be re-renting again! The dress is a wonderful lilac and the cut outs were flattering and perfect. The dress does run small so be sure to size up so that you don't feel too squeezed in.

LOVED THIS perfect summer dress with pockets!
Beautiful dress! I received so many compliments on this. The texture on the dress is raised and gives it more depth. The dress is also lined and my dark underwear magically didn't show through the white dress. As others have said, you can adjust the straps by retying them which was perfect for my short self! And pockets!

Puffy princess sleeves & light denim dress
Dress is lovely and is a fake wrap (zips up in back). There's a stitch that holds the chest together, but I'm not sure how long it'll hold as this dress experiences multiple wears. This dress got super wrinkled from traveling with it unfortunately.

Royal blue & fun sleeves
I've worn this dress in both the royal blue and the black colors. I found the black to be a bit more flattering (harder to see seams from pantyhose through fabric) but I love wearing this dress in any color. I am obsessed with the sleeves and they bring me joy with each wear.

You better work b***h
Felt like a working lady powerhouse when I wore this standing -- got lots of compliments. Way less flattering when sitting though (obviously). If you're at your desk sitting alone, not a problem. If you'll be sitting in a conference room on full display, this is maybe not the best dress. Loved the color too!

Looked a bit costume-y
As another reviewer said, this fabric looked and felt costumey. I thought it would be fun to wear to a conference but I didn't like it enough. Returned without wearing.

Terrible on a short torso, but beautiful skirt
I wanted to love this dress, but it didn't work on me. The dress didn't work on my short torso, mostly because of where the large elastic band (that separates the two fabrics) sat on me. I've used my fingers to indicate where the band was since it's hard to see in photos. Fabric was heavy too which exacerbated the problem when I tried to situate the band elsewhere. Did not wear.

Great, summer work dress
Great dress to wear to work, even when it feels incredibly too hot to look presentable. The front chest area actually zips up (gold zipper) and has a clasp about halfway up the front panel to ensure the fabric stays together. I really liked this dress, but imagine if I was bustier, I would have had issues zipping the chest up. I'm not sure if I would've liked the aesthetic of pairing a cami with a zipper, should I have needed to resort to that.

Basic work dress
Basic work dress that I loved in theory. Fabric was stretchy and incredibly comfortable. However, the dress wasn't very forgiving for menstrual bloat. While I probably would've loved it in a different week, it didn't work for me when I wasn't feeling myself. I recommend wearing shapewear to help the fabric lay flat as there were some bunching issues without it.

Stevie Nicks vibes
My boyfriend told me I looked like a witch... and not necessarily in a good way when I wore this. But I liked it, especially the sleeves, which added a bit more fun to work entire. Light, breathable fabric and good color. The pattern was fine, but not very noticeable.

Lovely spring cherries
Loved the vibe of this dress -- perfect for spring. The fit was lovely, but you may need to wear a camisole underneath dependent on your bust. The dress wrinkled easily so I won't be wearing more than once before returning.

Vibrant wrap dress
I got a lot of compliments on this bright wrap dress. The dress is actually more royal blue in person than the purple it appears in photos. This is a wrap dress (watch a video if you haven't worn one before to help with wearing) and features a clasp at the bust to prevent chest spillage. Very light and is lined in dark blue. I had a hard time keeping the lining from riding up and to adjust throughout the day.
