I rented these in an 8 equivalent (40R) and my usual size is 6 or 8 depending on the designer. The 8 was definitely the right size for me, so I'd say size up for your back up. They were fun, and definitely need a fitted top as shown on the model. I liked these, but the pair I received was showing a bit of wear with some of the fringes on the sash either cut short or fraying.

Great jumpsuit worn to a fundraising evening event! Loved the scuba fabric as it didn't wrinkle, and looked great all night, and the peplum laid beautifully. I am 5 6 1/2" and the Regular length was OK, but I would have preferred the long if it were available when I ordered. I have a long torso and this was fine on me. Loved it and would rent it again!

I loved these pants. True to the description, they are track pants with a casual shape and roomy fit. The only available size was Medium, so I rented them but they were generous and a bit too big for me (usual size 6-8 depending on designer). They were falling down a bit throughout the night and I would have been better off with the small. But fun, comfy, great look!

I really loved this dress, although I was unable to wear it as it was a bit too large. I have fairly broad shoulders and an athletic build so when reading other reviews that said that shoulders were tight, I thought I'd be safe sizing up one size from my usual 6. The shape of the top of the dress is structured with no stretch, so I can see how people would say that the shoulder area is tight. However, the shape of the dress is not fitted, so in sizing up there was just too much fabric in the waist and midsection, and the dress just looked too large on me. It was beautiful though -- colors, fabric, styling. I would definitely rent it again in my usual size for another affair!

After reading some review that stated the waistband was slim and unforgiving, I rented a size up from my usual 6, the equivalent of 8 = 10R. The pants were just a bit too big, though, I should have kept with my usual size with my body type. I am more of an athletic pear, so my waist is fairly slim. I really liked these pants, they are casual to business appropriate. The fabric is flat (no sheen) and the skirt portion has a lot of material, so they were very cute but just not that dressy -- best suited for casual evening outing or work.

I liked this dress! I wore it to a party and it was very comfortable. I have an athletic build and the bodice was very fitted. If I was any bigger on top this would have been tight, so maybe size up if you are busty. I wore 3" wedges and the length was great. Would rent again.

I loved this well-made dress and I wish I owned it! The fabric and construction were substantial and felt great. I am usually between either a 4 or 6 depending on the style of dress, and went with the 6 on this one. It's body con, and I felt the fabric laid more cleanly in the 6, and also felt that the waist sit a little high in the size 4 (I am 5'7" 135 and not leggy). I loved the color block and it is very flattering. It was easy to wear, the sleeves are a bit longer which I liked, but I wouldn't pair this with a statement bracelet or cuff. I received lots of compliments and was comfortable all night! My husband loved it and he's picky. I had been eyeing this one for a while, and I would call it a 'must rent!'.

I rented this for a holiday party. I loved the fabric weight, the dress hung nicely and felt great. I would say this is true to size. The exposed zipper on the back is a nice detail. From the number of reviews it seems like the dress is rented often, but the ones I received still looked like new. Great Job RTR :)

I liked these earrings. The ones I received were a bit darker then pictured (I am sure they vary because they are a natural stone) but they still worked. The metal is nice and sparkles. They were a bit heavy (as to be expected) but definitely not so much that you need to take them off. I would rent them again!

I loved this bag - nice to carry, good size, looks great and goes with everything. I wish I owned it :)

Sadly, I did not get to have my moment in this dress. It is a beautiful, unique look and a lovely dress overall, but the lace arms are not cut for an athletic build. I usually wear a 4, and the size 4 fit everywhere except for the upper arms. I also ordered a size up 6, and could not get into the arms of it either. Would have loved to wear this one but unfortunately, it won't work for me.

This was my first experience with RTR and I was thrilled that there was no telling these dresses from new dresses. They were lovely fabric, quality construction, arrived on time and well packed/not wrinkled. I decided to wear the size 6 (my usual size being 4) because A) the off-the-shoulder aspect was a bit slim fitting for my athletic frame and B) the dress does ride up a bit when you are walking around. Overall I felt that it was a great, sexy style and I received many compliments. I would say this style is not easy to wear because of the size of the armhole... it looks a bit large when the dress is pulled smoothly in the front, and if you close the hole (pulling the dress up a bit) then the fabric puckers a bit in front.
