Power dress, solid rental
Incredible quality on this one, not surprising with the brand. It has some stretch but isn't clingy or baggy, and if you're curvy, va-va-voom! The sleeves really do it all - the peek-a-boo buttons are not overtly sexy, but they add a little spice to this dress. I did need to wear a camisole underneath - it is too low cut for the office. And I found that the 12 was a bit large in the upper half, even tho I'm a busty gal. Still, I looked and felt great at the work event I wore it to.

Well made, beautiful pattern
Really well made shirt - heavy duty knit that didn't stretch and get baggy throughout the day. Nice and warm for my chilly New England vacation. And beautiful to wear - nice for sightseeing but not overly dressy or casual like a sweatshirt would be. Great rental.

Casual yet fun
Really interesting little sweater. Perfect for my chilly New England vacation. Casual for running around town in gym shoes, but the shredded hem and hoodie detail, paint-splash color, and kangaroo pocket made for easy sightseeing, while I still felt put together. Worth a rent.

Comfortable pop of color
Snagged these for vacation and they were perfect for chilly New England. Warm, the tiniest bit of stretch for comfort, but closely fitted so they don't look baggy like corduroy can. Loved them.

Interesting but is cut strange
Definitely got compliments in this shirt, and it was comfortable enough. But the cut is strange - it gapes when you're sitting down because of the faux wrap, yet has an odd V right at the crotch based on how it wraps. I covered up with a yellow cardigan and that made the colors pop even more. Overall I liked but didn't love. Going back after 1 wear.

Professional, comfortable, fun
Wore it for work on a super hot day and stayed nice and cool. Also knocked out some power meetings in it so while it's whimsical, it has clout enough for work. Runs slightly large but I comfortably layered under it. You will need a cami beneath; this is a deep v-neck. Love it, I'm keeping it for awhile!

Runs HUGE
I'm not a petite little thing, normally wear a size 10. These pants were HUGE. But they were also a gorgeous color, so I'm going to retry in a 6.

Only made for Barbie dolls
Dreadful cut on this one. The belt holes, as other reviewers have mentioned, make no sense to the size shirt it comes with - way too small. It's a straight cut yet asymetrical, so the material at the bottom pulls, which is further messy because of slits on both sides, so it flaps in the wind. Immediate return. It's a shame, the material is so soft and the color is so vibrant!

Unusual and perfect for winter
Beautiful, well-made, high-quality skirt. Love the asymmetry and the pattern. Lots of compliments. There's no stretch in the skirt and it runs a touch small. It's also high waisted. For my body, that was all fine, but if you're between sizes, go up.

Waist-maker
Understated yet chic and VERY comfortable to wear. Only problem for me was that the bottom two buttons are a bit tight - if you have a tummy at all, you should size up because it is a straight fit all the way down, and with the tie feature, you really can't tuck it in. Still, I wore it with the bottom button undone over the Nanette Lepore First Bet Skirt and it was beautiful together. Really created a waist on my hourglass figure, va-va-voom. Tons of compliments.

Clingy and not in a good way
Usually I like fitted clothes, but the combination of shine and ribbed knit did not do my imperfect behind any favors. If you're super slim or plan to wear mega-Spanx, go for it. If you have any imperfections in the trunk, I'd skip.

Comfortable yet eye-catching
Love these pants - totally keeping them thru the holidays. They have enough stretch to get thru a day, but they don't sag at the knees or waist. The length was perfect for me - not cropped - tho I'm on the shorter side at 5'4". And the waist is high enough to hide a little muffin top. Plus these oddly go with absolutely everything. Great rental!

Beautiful print, unusual fabric makes a statement
Really liked this one, tho it does run a tad big. The scuba fabric is so cool, tho it's true - the seams chafe a bit after a few hours. Great way to dress up a business casual event.

Really interesting design but it runs super small.
I'm typically an 8/10 and tried this in an XL - super clingy and small. I really wish it had fit - the cape style is so unique and interesting!

Best. Dress. Ever.
First time RTR experience and I'm hooked. This dress has everything. Gorgeous, eye-catching pattern and wonderful fabric. Glorious neckline so you can skip a necklace if you like. Flattering and forgiving fit - banish the Spanx. Deep pockets so you don't have to carry a purse. No need for a bra. If I really dig for any downsides, I could only say that after 7 hours of wearing this, the boning in the upper half was a little pinchy...and since I'm only 5'4", I had to watch the hemline so I didn't trip on stairs. But truly, these are NITPICKY. I felt like a diva all night, my husband and son thought this was gorgeous, and tons of compliments all night long at our gala.
