Four sizes too large
An extra small would not be small enough for my size 6 5'5 body.

Kind of GAP in person
I love The Great and love that RTR has it (I bought the sailboat sweater via RTR!) but this felt way less chic IRL than their other styles

Crochet Collar Pullover
The Great.
Size Worn: 1
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 34D
Wrinkles, short and tight at tummy
Dresses I have to press are annoying and this one was also uncomfortable because a tad too short and tight enough around the tummy in my normal size that you could see my belly button outline
Blue Rocco Mini Dress

Requires child size arms
Do you have normal, adult sized arms? This dress is not for you. I am a normal weight adult (BMI 23) and this dress left a literal red mark on my arms and cut off my circulation. Hunter Bell, WTH???!!!

Traditional and feminine
Fits like a dream - roomy in most areas including chest. Skirt is very full and can appear matronly.

Whole lot of print
I wanted to love this but it's simply too bright / juvenile. Wish RTR had bought the other darker colorway of this dress instead. Couldn't even bring myself to wear it on Easter. Love Ulla tho!!!

Spicy but surprisingly conservative
Fit like a glove but doesn’t show an inch of skin so was appropriate for a work party

SALONI

Blindingly Bright + Enormous
I rented thinking this would be a good urban winter coat that would cheer me up and keep me warm on winter hot girl walks. Unfortunately it is hideously bright and overpoweringly voluminous. Did not wear.

Coral Willow Puffer Ski Jacket
Shoreditch Ski Club

Not for Above C Cup
Very tight in the chest as other reviews have said. And even if it fits the ruffles will lay very strangely.

Hospital Gown
Deeply unflattering, glorified hospital gown. However the material feels very cool and nice on a hot day - some sort of performance fabric that is crisp but feels soft.

Nani Tie Dress
Saunders x RTR
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 34D
Runs Small, Cropped
Very on trend. Quite cropped. If you have a larger chest definitely size up as that will make it smaller

Enormous but Interesting
Size down 2 perhaps even three sizes. This dress has yards and yards of skirt fabric. It's also very roomy in the bust. Belt can make waist fit in any size. Pockets are a nice touch. Came to my ankles and I'm 5'5. The print is totally not scandalous - not sure what that other reviewer saw that I didn't!

The Best of RTR
This is *exactly* what I look to RTR for - a pricey statement piece I'd never buy but would love for a season. I rented this in early October and will be returning it in May. It's literally become my favorite casual coat. Complimented from Maine to SoHo house in NYC. Faux fur even fooled some people! I'd almost consider purchasing but who in their right mind would pay $800 for a fleece?!

Feminine and easy
Such a great bust fit due to the smocked back even a DD can go without a bra. Sleeves do slightly slip but could be pinned. Hit me upper /mid calf; not as long as I thought it would be, thankfully. Can dress up with heels or down with a Jean jacket and slides.

Statement piece runs large
Extremely oversized. Order one to two sizes down for less exaggerated fit. Get ready for lots of comments about being "bedazzled"

Jackie Denim Jacket
Sandro
Size Worn: 38
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"

Not for shorter / average height girls
This would definitely look better on someone 5'7 or taller due to its length and voluminous skirt. The sleeves / neckline / bust are quite puffy and exaggerated.

Runs Three to Four Sizes Small
I'm an 8 and rented an 8. Echoing prior reviewers, I couldn't pull it over my thighs let alone my hips! I think I probably *might* have fit a 12, but possibly am a 14 in this dress. Size three sizes up - maybe four if you have hips.

A size large would not fit over my size 8 hips. So much for that!

Flattering But Mardi Gras
Very flattering for highlighting smallest part of your waist and covering arms. Just touched the ground without heels (I'm 5'5). Colors are much brighter IRL and unfortunately read Mardi Gras (bright primary color green, gold, and purple); I'd expected more muted from the photos. It's also a bit itchy as has been mentioned but that didn't stop me from wearing it.
