I wanted to like this, but it was overwhelming on the top to look right

Wore this to the Grammys, which is an all-day affair. I got lots of compliments, and it was a joy to wear all day. Highly recommend!

Comfy AND classy
A great dress that got compliments all day. I wore it for a brunch and then to an afternoon upscale happy hour. It was very comfy and the pockets were a bonus! Just know that you will need to be careful when seated, as the dress tends to spread and can get stepped on easily! Will certainly rent this again!

Pretty but small
I really liked this dress, but was skeptical of the sizing from the beginning. I have a rather large rib cage and sure enough, I couldn't zip it up on the side. So, couldn't wear it.

Fabulous
Loved everything about this. Will rent again, but might even go down one more size just to see how that fits, since it is a roomy dress.

The sleeves make this blouse
Easy fit, wish it'd been a little longer. As other reviews have said, the sleeves are long so don't wear this if you have a lot of work to do with your hands (cooking is fine, washing dishes... not so much)

Nice pattern/color, but weird fit
It was a pretty color and I liked the detail on the neckline, but hung weirdly on me. It also really needs a belt, otherwise pretty plain.

Nice transitional blouse
Was afraid this was going to be too see-through, but the material had enough detail/pattern that it was just fine. My kid gave it a thumbs-up :)

Nice and comfy, and I got lots of compliments. Just be aware that when you sit you might experience gap-osis on your lap between the buttons.

Loose fitting without being baggy. Had to tie the front or I would've easily exposed myself anytime I bent over.

Pretty and great color
Loved this blouse and the vibrant colors. But was a bit sheer for work so I wore a cami underneath.

Red Tie Waist Long Sleeve Blouse
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 10"

Fun and original
Easy blouse to wear and the stitching is unique...got lots of compliments. But as other reviewers have noted, the sleeves are pretty long so it was a bit hard to do some things, like cooking and washing hands.

Navy Orchid Top
Elizabeth and James
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Pretty, but not for long-waiters
The material was pretty and the length was just right, but the waistband hit too high, causing the material above to bubble out. I even tried moving it up to make it an empire waist, but that looked even more strange.

Cute, but binding
I really wanted this to work, but even though it looked fine with my arms down, the minute I raised them I was constricted. Judging from the middle chest button, it looks like I wasn't the only renter with this issue. You might want to size up?

Perfect dress for Easter
Great color, and fabric was stretchy and good quality so was comfy to wear for 2 church services...didn't wrinkle, either! I would rent this again.

Such a great maxi dress!
Loved this dress for vacation. The color is great and it fit well, with room for vacation overeating! Just a heads up, when you adjust the straps they are hard to tighten again so you might need to readjust several times while wearing.

Pretty colors but too small
I liked it, but it really does run small in the waist. I had even sized up due to reviews from others, but it still didn't fit well. The hemline also hung a little weird.

Gorgeous AND comfortable
Wore this to the Grammys and got lots of compliments. And, it was super comfortable which was a bonus. I would recommend this dress to anyone, as it hugs in all the right places and doesn’t need a lot of fuss.

Perfect for my performance at a fundraising gala
LOVE this dress! Beautiful color, material, and shape. SO comfortable. It does stretch, so I'm glad I took the advice and ordered a 10. Perfect length for 3 inch heels on my 5'10' frame. Got complimented the entire night. Also easy to sit in, which is important for a pianist. Thank you RTR!

Maybe it's not for women with long torsos?
I ordered the 10L since everyone had said it ran big. It fit, and was a pretty color, but it didn't sit right on my frame. The ruching didn't drape where it should in the torso/waist, and only accentuated my hips. Scrunching/adjusting didn't help either. Also, I have broad shoulders and the top was loose on me, so you should take that to mind if you're petite up there! Glad I ordered a backup dress.

too much material for me!
I ordered this as a backup, and when I tried it on was glad I wasn't counting on it. I normally wear a 10-12, but even the 10 hung loosely and with the material gathered in front, made me look like I was pregnant. Maybe on a different body shape this would drape well, but not on my long-waisted figure!

Complimented ALL night!
I needed a cocktail dress in navy. Chose this one and got a different one as a backup. Tried this on first and loved it. Fit perfectly, looked classy and was comfortable! A good combo. I was worried about the length, as I am 5'10", but it hit just right and even when I needed to sit down (playing the piano in front of a crowd is not the time to worry about flashing everyone!) it covered just fine. The only con is that it was a bit worn at the lace hem. Up close it was frayed, but from a distance it looked like part of the lace itself. Overall, very pleased!
