Pretty dress
This one was really tight, so although it looked nice, I didn't wear it because I wouldn't be able to eat dessert! But I think the next size up would've been too loose in the chest. Still, it's pretty -- kind of fairy tale princess vibes.

form fitting and flattering
This is form-fitting, but stretchy and thick enough to hold in the right places. I thought it was really nice, and although I didn't wear it for the event I rented it for, I will probably rent again.

Classy
I didn't wear it for my event, but I liked the way it felt and looked. I tried it with several black skirts of different lengths and it looked good -- and would also be nice with pants.

I love this dress - so flattering!
This is such a beautiful dress - only thing is that it's not for cold weather - fabric is very lightweight. Still, this is another one that I'm keeping an eye to buy if/when the price gets low enough!!

The perfect sweater
I loved this one -- the color, the comfort, the length... I will definitely keep an eye on if/when it goes on sale! It's mostly wool but not itchy, but still warm while being thin enough to layer.

As warm as a sleeping bag
I took it traveling from sunny LA to a snow DC. Not only was it as warm as a sleeping bag with a hood (so I was comfy in rain, snow & wind) but it also rolled up and fit in my backpack so it was easy to carry around the airport.

You do need a tank top or something like it for the top, but the bottom is layered and heavy. Sleeves are long and flowy.

Beautiful color
I bought this one at a final sale, and was really pleasantly surprised by how flattering it is. The only odd thing is that the waist is high and so the fuller skirt starts flaring a little higher up on my waist than what I'm used to. But it was great.

I've rented dozens of dresses through RTR Unlimited - this is my favorite.
I wore this for a lunch event and then to a cocktail party later. I got SO many compliments - and people are pretty used to be wearing great dresses from RTR - but this one was way more than usual. The color is really stunning, and it's really no-nonsense and effortless!

Wore this for a black tie gala. This dress was a stunner -- a great option to basic black. And it's really nice for not having to worry about things like bra straps or slips, etc. I highly recommend it.

I'm between a 2 and 4, so got the 4 and they're super comfy. I really love the way they look professional, but the color makes them special. I've kept these now for way too long... I'll probably just bite the bullet and buy them.

Beautiful colors for fall.
I really like this one. I'll probably wear again before returning. The colors are really pretty. The fabric is thick, and it's actually layered -- the front is kind of like a flap and there's another layer that you can see from the side where the pattern goes a slightly different way. Very chic!

I loved the color - SILVER -- like tinsel on Christmas trees. I thought it might be too flashy for the party I was going to, but everyone loved it. Tons of compliments. Not something for every day, but perfect for a party!

I love the fabric, color, details.... comes out vibrant in pics. I wear it with a beige tube top underneath because it is VERY low as you can see from my pic. Great with jeans.

Modest but Modern
Wore this to a Law Library event, so had to dress more conservatively than usual. Fabric very thick - don't worry about wrinkles. Very form-fitting. Appropriate for the occasion but still different and fun enough to garner lots of compliments from people of all ages.

Lots of compliments - wish I would've gotten a better, full-length pic
Like everyone says, it runs large and boxy. Fabric is thick, which I love. Next time, I'll size down. I've been on the "4" end of my usual between 2 and 4, but the 40 was still too big. Still, I got a ton of compliments. Very pretty pattern, too.

This really does hug every curve, so I had to be extremely careful in holding in my tummy for pics! The fabric is thick, luckily, which helps. The top is also very flattering.

I really really loved the color of this dress. The fit was.... awkward on me, though -- I found myself fussing with it. I wish I would've gotten a better pic of it for you all, but this was the only one I could find.

Comfortable and flattering dress. Fabric is thick and satiny which is a plus because (1) it doesn't wrinkle and (2) it makes it look more expensive/formal.

Super comfy, and a little sexy, too.
I loved the thick denim. And the cut is such that you could wear it conservatively or with a little more skin showing... I paired it with a belt and cowboy boots.

This is the perfect work dress for spring/summer. Professional but comfy, too!
The waist isn't cinched quite as much as the pic of the model, but it's still very flattering. It's actually probably more comfortable because of that.

The fabric was lighter than I expected, but still substantial enough to not need a slip. The dress was great with a black blazer for day-to-night. And it was perfect for dancing and flattering in pics!

I had a photo shoot that date in a business suit, but the dress was so cute I asked the photographer to get some shots of it, too. I then wore it to an event honoring some judges, with a business jacket. It was conservative enough for the event, but still fun and colorful. Really nice from day-to-night.

The fit was so comfortable and I loved the color!
I felt confident because the fit was form fitting but not tight, so I didn't have to worry. The fabric is great -- satin-y -- and I fell in love with the color. I don't think I've ever worn anything quite like that color. I wore kind of clunky heels and casual jacket to dress it down, but it could certainly be glammed up, as well.

Beautiful dress & it flatters like Spanx!
I wore this for a "know your rights" presentation I had to give at the LA Law Library, and then dinner after. I had to look like a lawyer, but I didn't want to wear a suit. It was perfect - thick & comfortable fabric, professional-looking, beautiful & unique color. It did the work of showing off curves but in a way that keeps everything in place, as well. I wore the 40, and it seems like that was about right. I fluctuate between a 2 and 4, but I'm a little more on the 4 side at the moment.

Comfy and appropriate for informal work event on a hot Autumn day.
I fell in love with the fabric - thick but soft and flexible, without wrinkling. It's a dress I'd love to have for everyday use, if it weren't so expensive. I think it could go from day to night with high heels, but I wouldn't wear it for anything too formal. It's subdued and understated, and not really a very sexy look - more of a comfortable and confident look/feeling. I usually wear a 2 or a 4, and a 2 fit fine.

Couldn't be happier with this one - perfect for work (in flats) and the Opera (in heels)!
Comfortable, flattering, great feeling-fabric and beautiful design -- I really couldn't have been happier, which was nice because the last couple of dresses I rented weren't great on me. When I first put it on, I thought a 4 may have been better (instead of a 2) but as I relaxed, it seemed to fit better and better. I'd be very tempted to buy it if it weren't so pricey. At least I can rent . . . !
