Made me dizzy
This was a very pretty and unique skirt, the pattern legit makes you dizzy though. I wore it worth a couple different crop tops though I've seen others wear it with a large sweater too.
Davis Skirt

Fall fancy
Stunning dress, incredibly flattering and easy to wear. Runs quite big and the straps kind of loosen as you wear them so fashion tape helps. Looks great with a leather jacket and boots.

Love this brand
Can't get enough of reformation. I will literally rent anything RTR uploads from them. This one was ideal for that summer into fall vibe, wore it 2x... to a date and to a bday party. Runs small.

Stunning! But beware: if you have any boobs whatsoever you MUST invest in fashion tape or you will be NSFW all night. Worth it!

Big but still flattering
I sized up in this knowing that dresses without any shape sometimes look bad on me (am a 4/6 but pretty curvy) and i was practically swimming in it! However I kind of loved the looser look and it was still flattering. Very pretty pattern and fabric, and comfortable too. Would wear to any occasion, work or fancy dinner or even a wedding. Will try again in a 4 at some point!
Sleeveless Lita Tie Dress

Size down!
I originally rented this in a 1P knowing that I'm short and curvy but I felt like the fit was kind of off-- too much room in the waist. But on a whim I sized down to the 0R and even though it was a bit long the fit was otherwise perfect! I wore a cute lacy bra because you could see it poke through on the sides, and it looked super cute. It's also EXTREMELY versatile. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner but you could dress it up for a wedding or dress it down for everyday.

Loved this one
I adored this dress. So chic! It's meant to be a looser fit, but it definitely runs big too. I rented it in a 4 and would do a 2 next time!
Ivory Meadow Daphne Dress
Tory Burch

Nice
Pretty dress, vibrant colors. I am between a 4 and 6, and this was a bit big overall, especially in the shoulders and chest so I'd describe it as true to size. Surprisingly light for being long sleeves!

Perfect work dress
This was such a great work dress. Really flattering and form-fitting but conservative enough for the office. It runs mostly true to size, maybe a little small. I'm between 4 and 6 and the 6 fit like a glove.

Would give it 6 starts if I could
I loooooove this dress. One of the prettiest and most unique things I've rented. It does run a little small but it's not as bad as some of the reviews suggested. I wear a small or medium depending on the brand, rented the medium here and found it fit comfortably. The length is perfect if you're shorter too.
Nia Maxi
CAROLINA K
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 4

Gorgeous but too long
This is a really beautiful dress but it's not for short girls. Even in 3 inch heels was dragging. Next time I'd try in a petite but it wasn't available. It's also way more low cut than I expected, had to use fashion tape to keep safe for work.
Venezia Winslow Maxi

Cute
Very cute and comfortable! Runs a little big but still flattering. Length is perfect for shorter girls too.

Hot girl summer
I'm in love with this dress. It is so crazy flattering, accentuates your curves so well. It runs small and has no stretch so best to size up. Didn't need to wear a bra and I'm a DD.
Lace Ada Maxi

Size Worn: MR

Adorable but not great for curvy girls!
I loved this dress but it didn't quite love me back! The sizing was right for me but the chest and hip area were snug while the waist and shoulders were huge. Definitely meant for a tall skinny person rather than someone with an hourglass shape. But was still fun to wear once!
Chambray Seamed Dress
Colovos
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 34DD
Cute but nothing special
Very comfy, and pretty color but the material isn't super high quality and the fit wasn't the most flattering. Would say it runs pretty TTS. I'm a 4/6 and all they had was the medium which was a little loose but not ridiculously so.

70s goddess
I am in love with this dress! Wore it to a Rolling Stones concert and felt like a 70s goddess. I actually lost count of how many people stopped me to gush about it. It runs pretty loose, I'm a 4/6 and the 0R (which I think is equivalent to a 0/2) fit perfectly. It's also quite long, even with 3 inch heels it was way too long for my 5'2 self. But worth it for how amazing I felt all night!

BEST DRESS
I love this dress so much that I'm truly sad I need to wear anything else ever again. Felt like a Disney princess. It's so beautiful and flattering, not to mention comfortable. Runs a little big, I'm a 4/6 and I could have prob gone with the 2 but the 4 was fine! I wore it 3 times and wish I could have kept it. Will rent again ASAP!

Loved this. So flattering and a real head-turner. And the color is amazing. Size up, I'm between a 4 and 6 and the 6 fit like a glove.

Weird fit
I wanted so much to like this dress, the color is amazing and it SHOULD have been a great cut for my hourglass frame.... But the empire waist situation made my hips looks HUGE!! And the chest area was a bit too big even though I'm a DD so I think if I tried to size up it would have looked too baggy. Sad!

HOT
Super fun! Bit snug in the hips but I wouldn't size up because it looked good fitted. The straps are way too long though.
Bella Dress
SALONI

Flattering
Wrap dresses generally look awful on me but this one was both easy to put on because it has snaps and insanely slimming. It looks like a pretty basic dress off but when you put it on it's magic. It is WAY too long for a short person though. I wore 3 inch heels and it still dragged on the ground; I had to bustle it when I walked like it was my wedding dress. And the top part was pretty loose even though I'm very busty lol. Still loved it though!
Cyana Maxi

This a head turner. Really well made and beautiful. Downsides: Way too big in the shoulders and chest and low cut if you are short. Wore a cami to keep it PG. still would rent again!
Lea Long Dress
SALONI

Usual Size: 6

Glam
This dress is a real showstopper. Wore it twice-- to a wedding and a fancy dinner. The downside is that it was pretty long on my 5'2 frame so even with heels it hit the ground for me. Also there's almost no way to wear a normal bra without it showing and it doesn't look great without one. So you could either pin the top together or do what I did and just wear a cute bra that is ok to show off.
Chiara Maxi

Size Worn: SR

Extremely flattering
The top is a bit too conservative for my liking but the color and pattern were stunning and it made my waist look crazy small so I can't really complain. The fabric is very high quality too!

Babe status
Multiple people stopped me on the street to tell me how great this dress was! it's extremely flattering, I was even able to wear it without a bra which I generally can't do as a DD cup. I'm a 4/6 and the 6 fit with some room so I'd say it fits true to size. The only annoying thing is that the zipper is pretty tough to zip over the seam line but not impossible.
Floral Lace Midi Dress

Showstopper
One of the best dresses I've ever worn. I was paranoid about having a wardrobe malfunction so I wore one of those backless sticky bras and some fashion tape and it was fine. I'm a 4/6 and while I usually size up in reformation, the 8 was way to big on top so I went with the 6. Felt like a star all night!

So pretty
This dress is gorgeous, and the photos truly do not do it justice! The material is incredibly high quality and the colors really pop. Super flattering too, especially for girls with curves.

Loooooved
I loved this dress so much. I've never gotten more compliments on anything I've work to work and it's way lovelier in person than in the pic. But warning: it runs huge. I'm a 4/6 and even the 2 was quite loose. It was also super long (I'm only 5'2 but I wore it with 3 inch heels and it still hit the floor.) last caveat is that if you're busty like me it shows a lot of cleavage; I wore it with a black cami underneath and it was perfect.

Great!
Most of the reviews were so negative but I took a chance anyway and I'm glad I did! The material is spandex-y not denim so it has some stretch. I'm a 4/6 and the Small fit well with room. My only complaint was that I liked the way the belt fit with just one knot but it was too loose that way so I had to make it a double know which wasn't quite as cute. Not the most form fitting thing in the world but I don't think the XS would have been comfortable. I wore it 5 times during the 10 or so days I had it and it was very versatile (to work, to dinner, to the bar, while traveling around Paris and even on transatlantic flight!) i would have bought it were if not about to be summer in New York.

So unique
I loved this one! Definitely an unusual pattern and neckline-- not something I'd usually wear which made it all the more fun to wear. I'm a 4/6 but they only had an 8 so it was pretty roomy but not ridiculously so. still very flattering.

Weird sizing but incredible otherwise
This dress was incredible!! flattering and fun to wear. The sizing as other reviewers mentioned is definitely off, even for reformation which runs small generally. I'm a 4/6 but usually size up to a 6 or 8 with reformation. I ended up sizing up again to the 10 bc while the 8 fit like a glove it wasn't super comfortable and I didn't want to have to wear spanx. just a personal preference, the 8 prob would have been fine otherwise!

Loved!
I'm obsessed!! Fit like a glove. I'm normally 4/6 but the Small fit perfectly. I'm also only 5'2 and the length was ideal so might be too short if you're taller.

Obsessed with this dress!! Incredibly flattering and easy to dress up or down. I'm typically a 4/small but I like the looser, comfier fit of the Medium but just a personal pref!

Way too tight
I wanted so much to love this dress but it runs way too small. I wear a small/4 in most RTR dresses, including Temperly. but even the M was crazy tight. I think maybe it's supposed to be skin tight but it wasn't comfortable at all so I didn't end wearing.

I am in love with this dress. It's easily the most flattering thing I've ever worn. I've rented it several times during the 4 months I've been doing RTR unlimited. I am a size 4 but with hips so I sized up to a M and that worked great.

Sexy
This dress was one million fire emojis. The turtleneck is a bit itchy but doable. It's pretty tight but wouldn't really recommend sizing up because I don't think it would be as flattering if it weren't form fitting. Just needs shapewear or extremely body confidence!

Cute sweater
Really liked this sweater, didn't blow me away but it was a fun addition to my work wardrobe. The one caveat is that it is pretty short but since I'm 5'2 it was fine. Would be a crop top on a taller person though bun.
