Easy Breezy summer dress
True to size and very stretchy. This would be perfect for maternity or if you are in between sizes. I wore this at night with a jean jacket and during the day with sandless at the beach. Very versatile.

Perfect for a concert
This was a really cute elevated look for a rock concert. I did need biker shorts underneath even a 5'4" in order to wear it as a dress.

Flowy with Structural bottom
The bottom element is super structural and moves well when you walk. I got tons of compliments on this at a drag show. The color is slightly darker in person (I believe the product photo has lights reflecting off of it).

Lower Scoop Neck
This is extremely pretty. The scoop neck is slightly lower than anything Ive rented from this brand and the shoulder width is larger. The bow detail is adorable in person and I will definitely rent again for non-work uses.

Belly bump friendly
This is navy blue and has pops of light pink; I wasn't certain of the color online. Does not pair well with red or black accessories. Fit is immaculate and super forgiving.

Itchy but a beautiful color
The elastic portions of this dress were very irritating, but the color is beautiful if you don't have sensitive skin.

Bizarre Arm Dimensions
The fit on this was great except for the arms. Because of the very short length between the armpit seam and the sleeve the elastic of the cap sleeve annoyingly rubbed against my arms all day. This is also a much stiffer fabric than the other flowy Kate Spade dresses on offer.

Nice but not special
For the original retail I did expect more elevated fabric. The fit of this is very similar to the elastic waist Kate Spade dresses RTR carries. The slit is an appropriate height for most occasions. I was able to wear this without heels.

Great fit
I love all of the elastic waist Kate Spade dresses and this is no exception. Super vibrant pattern in person and very flattering. The sleeves come halfway between shoulder and elbow-- lots of coverage.

This is very flowy and flattering, especially if you are between sizes. The arm flounce did have some trouble staying down.

Re-renting over and over
I've rented this multiple times and it's so versatile. Great for a casual outfit but the fabric is nice enough quality to dress it up with accessories for dinner out. The top is double lined and supportive so and I didn't need a bra.

Versatile and Stretchy
This is a really versatile piece. The arm band is just as stretchy as the bodice. It was supportive enough to not need a bra. I originally rented this for a Scarecrow costume but ended up wearing it to work as well.

Louie Patchwork Dress
Sea New York
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12

Runs very small
This runs small especially if you have a larger chest. The zipper has an illusion of give but even with a moderate 34C top i was struggling into it with someone else helping with the zipper. In the end it only remotely fit braless and then was very unflattering/flattening especially for a vneck. I couldn’t bring myself to wear it to an event.

Super soft- shoulders do stay up
This is super soft. I was worried the shoulders wouldn’t stay in place but the elastic was tight enough to make this work friendly

My favorite rental
I have never loved a rental more than this one. It looks effortless but is a compliment magnet. Multiple people stopped me to ask where I got it. The colors are perfect and the pattern is unique without being overpowering in person. Waist cinches very well.

So fun, silky, and well tailored
Very attention grabbing! A compliment magnet! The cut of these is adorable and the it’s one of the most comfortable fabrics I’ve seen Farm Rio use. The 10 was loose at 5’4 150lbs (usually an 8) so I would say this fits TTS with enough room for thick thighs

Comically big
I loved everything about this dress except the fit. Size down dramatically. I don’t think even two sizes smaller would have worked for me to wear this. The print and construction was perfect otherwise - the quilting is immaculately done

Extremely low cut
I used a set of magnets to pin this closed- otherwise this would be too risqué for dinner. The v cut is extremely cute but cuts all the way down to the natural waist. The velvet burnout details were really soft and made the dress warm even though there were mesh sections of the sleeves between details. My husband adored this.

Warm enough for Iceland
Lined pockets and plenty of loft made this perfect for Iceland in April. The shape was feminine despite the puffiness and the length was perfect to prevent me from looking shorter. I’m between a medium and large and was very glad to have the large when layering sweaters underneath this.

Silky, dreamy, perfect!
The fabric is to die for- I almost bought this. The elastic in the arms is super stretchy and ensures the dress maintains the Princessy puff sleeve silhouette all day long. I wore this to a casual work day and received compliments all day long- plus the pockets are huge. I will rent again in a 6 next time just to make the waist a bit tighter. If you’re between sizes I would size down.

So soft and thick- rent this!
Perfect for summer, but surprisingly thick enough to wear during the shoulder season! The cut of the waist was ultra flattering and I got tons of complements on the pattern. I have a short torso and this fit me perfectly so if you have a longer torso it may run short.

Boxy lifeless shape
The cross crossed back was very cute and the color was vibrant but I would not rent unless you have a very straight frame. This is a boxy fit and if you have any curves your entire body will look as wide as them. Not made for those with a larger bust as you can’t wear a bra and the built in solution is a tight (and short) second piece of fabric loose in the front. I didn’t find it flattering and the fabric wasn’t as soft as expected.

Great pockets and fun shape
The colors were bright and the fabric was luxe! A size 40 was too large on me (I’m between a 6 and 8 usually) but that was to be expected- it was all that was available for my event. The dress is very forgiving so I would size down if you want to have any defined shaped in this. Pockets were deep!

Great fit and breathable fabric
The waist of these fit very true to size and the legs were loose and flowy which gave the pants a great overall fit, especially if you have thick thighs. I loved the vibrant pattern. Fabric is super light and breathable- perfect for summer. This does run a little long - I am 5’4 and needed to wear slight platforms to prevent any dragging.

Adjustable straps; still too long
Super adjustable straps helped with the fit up top but the bottom portion was comically oversized. Even in 4 inch heels I needed to fashion tape the gems to keep them from dragging. It was overall loose and I will size down next time
