Effortlessly awesome
Bright color, lots of compliments, super flattering on any shape. Looks put together with zero effort. Loved it and already regretting sending it back.

Beautiful but matronly
Perfect fit for curvy gals. Lots of compliments. Elegant but didn't love the ruffle sleeve with ties. Also didn't love the faux button down.

Takes your casual look up a notch. As others mentioned, the white is a bit see through but not awful. One zipped up backwards pocket was a little odd but NBD.

Tight on the waistline/bust
Liked the style but was tight on top. Add that in with a low cut and it was too much. Tank top saved the day but wasn't my favorite.

Beautiful dress, couldn’t zip up. Never have problems being too tight in the bust. This one was not even close.

I usually run between a 10 and 12 but the 12 was very, very tight. Somehow it was still flattering, just not comfortable.

Cute but...
What's with the weird chest elastic? A band stretches directly across the entire chest, squeezing your boobs in the most unflattering way possible. Don't think it was very noticeable to others but felt odd. Was hoping it would be summer flowy but was more fitted. Still wore, just didn't love it.

Not for curvy ladies
Nice quality, love the pattern and the length. But these pants weren't terribly flattering on my hips and rear. I tend to run between 8 and 10. Rented these in a 12 and they were snug. Wore them once and returned right away.

Elastic. So. TIGHT!
As if the waistband wasn't restrictive enough, the neck was near strangulation level tight. Couldn't even zip it the whole way. Couldn't wait to take off this cute but uncomfortable dress. Not worth it.

Great piece, beautiful fit
I'll be honest: I'm here for the dresses. I rarely rent tops, but this one spoke to me and it didn't disappoint. The cut of this is so beautiful. It drapes around the neck to highlight the shoulders, and falls/flows to the waist in the most flattering way. Very light, perfect for summer. Runs slightly large, so size down if between sizes.

SO SO SO FLATTERING!!!
True to size but snug in the best way possible. Thought it was going to be too tight but the sash beautifully and stealthily hides imperfections. Thick material acts as spanx, but I wore this on a hot July day and it wasn't too warm. So out of my comfort zone but so many compliments. Loved this dress!

Cute if you're in your 20's and petite
...but I am neither of those things. Dress was low cut, short and snug on me. Looked like I was trying to use a tank top as an inappropriate dress. I don't often send items back without wearing, but this was an exception. Someone slimmer, shorter and younger could definitely pull it off, but not this 40-something gal.

Beautiful dress, but clingy!
I'm usually between an 8 and 10. Glad I sized up. The material is stretchy and clingy so will show every bump. That said, it is a standout. Lots of compliments!

More like a corset than a skirt
Read the other reviews about the small waist so I sized up. I should have gone up two sizes. The elastic waist is so thick and so tight that it was uncomfortable before I even left the house. Skirt itself is not cute enough to suffer through the pain. Meh.

Cute, but nothing special
Got compliments on this dress but it still felt a bit matronly to me. Unbuttoning the neckline didn't do much because it didn't fall open, just kind of stayed in place. It was cute, but not a standout.

Wanted to love but it's just okay
I kept waiting for this skirt to become available and was thrilled when it finally did. It absolutely stands out and I did get a lot of compliments, but it just isn't flattering for curvy girls. It's a sweater material that's fitted on the hips and belly then flares out at the hips. This accentuated all the wrong places on me. Would be perfect for straight and narrow figures.

Tough color, short slip
The photo makes this dress look like a warm gold color. It's more of a greenish-yellow. Tough color for anyone to pull off. My other peeve: it has a knee-length slip on a sheer, calf-length dress. Don't love the peek-a-boo knee and lower leg look. The photo makes it look like the slip is the same length as the dress, otherwise I would not have rented. I was looking for classic with a pop and got frumpy instead.

Cute and lots of compliments
Lots of reviews painted this dress as a tent, but I thought it was super cute. Yes, it's big and billowy but it's also short so it works. I paired it with tall boots and got tons of compliments. My only minor complaint: elastic at the wrists and neck got a little tight after all-day wear but not enough to make me regret the rent. I'll wear again!

Cute, but slightly awkward
Love the look of the dress, but it definitely runs small. It has a slip underneath that was extremely tight on my hips. Thankfully the animal print outer layer is flowy so I could still wear it. My other quirk: the snap at the chest hits at an awkward place so there was a gap below the snap. Think this would work great on a narrow body type, but curvy girls should definitely size up!

Too tight, too short, too bad!
So tight and short that it was entirely too inappropriate. Had to return without wearing. It's a shame, because it's a cute dress. Don't think sizing up would have made it wearable. Literally barely covered my backside.

So short!
Super cute jumper but was too short to wear. Barely covered my booty. One other thing I didn't consider: I wear a one-piece bathing suit, and this romper exposed the contrast between my incredibly white lower back and the deep tan on my arms and legs. It's a cute piece but just didn't work well on my hourglass figure.

So cute yet SO uncomfortable!
Unless you're a size 8 or below, take a pass on this. The waistband is incredibly small (and I have a relatively small waist). There's also a tight, short slip underneath that rides up and creates a really unflattering belly roll. Managed to pull it off but it wasn't worth the amount of tugging and discomfort.

Not the WOW factor I expected
Very nice dress, but the asymmetrical hemline isn't as pronounced as I thought it would be. Material is beautiful! Couldn't tell from the pics but there is a long tie in the back that is purely for flair, no purpose. (It's pretty but slightly awkward for wear.) Dress definitely runs small. I'm usually between an 8-10 but went for the 12 because I was afraid it would be too short and it fit perfectly.

Super cute standout skirt
I was a bit concerned that the skirt slit would be too high to be work appropriate, but that wasn't an issue at all. Got tons of compliments. It is slightly on the snug side, so if you're in between sizes I would size up.

Best. Dress. Ever. I rented it with my unlimited subscription and have been wearing it all summer long. It's beautiful and versatile. I've worn for international travel, parties, even tied it up to take a bike ride. It's comfortable and I get compliments galore every time I wear it. I absolutely love this dress!

Modern Day June Cleaver Glam
Didn't love this dress at first but grew to as the day wore on and the compliments piled up. Runs small so it was tight around the only fitted part, slightly above the waist. The wrap has a button on the inside, a snap outside, and a belt to tie it together. The snap kept coming undone but the button and belt held it in place well enough. Had to wear it with a cami because it was so open at the chest that there's no way you could wear it without something underneath. All those issues might have been resolved by sizing up. That said, still a modern twist on a beautiful classic-style dress. Very unique and got lots of compliments from compete strangers.

Beautiful, and with pockets!
Wore this dress to the Kentucky Derby and absolutely fell in love with it! Got tons of compliments in a sea of gorgeous dresses. Even strangers asked me to stop to take my picture! Dress was so comfortable and flattering with huge pockets. Fit is very forgiving. It's flowy around the waist so lots of room for girls with a pear shape like me. Unique cut at the top is very flattering on the arms. Very true to size and think it would be good for all body types. I was unsure when I rented it but am so glad I did. It was a hit!

Loved this dress. Comfy and cute and easy to wear. Wore it to work and kept it for the weekend to wear on Easter. True to size. Only (minor) complaint is that the lace trim gets a bit uncomfortable to sit on after a while. But I got so many compliments I didn't even care!

Cute dress, but not for the busty!
Loved this dress! It's very slimming and I got tons of compliments. My only complaint is that it was snug in the chest. I actually had to use a safety pin to keep the buttons from popping open. I am not large chested, and have never had that problem before. If you have a bigger bust, this isn't the dress for you.

Tight!
Beautiful dress, heavy material, but I couldn't wear it. I'm pear shaped and this was entirely too tight in the hips and rear. You can get away with snug in a black dress, but it was not flattering at all in white. I use RTR a lot and this is the only time I couldn't wear something I rented. Gorgeous dress, just not made for my figure!

Cute (but small!) dress
Got tons of compliments on this dress, but it runs very short and very small. It does have a lot of stretch so it is forgiving, but I had to wear it with tights to be work appropriate. The size 10 fit my eight-year-old daughter perfectly!

Fun party dress
I wore this for my birthday party at a winery. It's comfortable but cute and super easy to wear. I expected to have to do some strap adjustments based on other reviews that complained they tend to fall down, but I had no problems with that at all. I zipped it up, threw on a pair of espadrilles, put my hair in a ponytail and partied. I could chase the kids, dance with my hubby, and feel like a million bucks. Highly recommend.

Made a splash at Derby
Wore this dress to the Kentucky Derby. Needed something cute and comfortable because it was part work and part play. This dress fit the bill perfectly. The bold pattern means you don't need to dress it up with flashy jewelry, and I love that it has pockets. Was worried that the 8 would be too small in the hips but cut of the dress means it's perfect for pear shapes.

Mowed down the Emmy competition
Love love love this dress. I was initially hesitant to wear a black dress to a formal event, thinking it would be just another plain dress in the crowd, but this is beautiful. The material is stretchy, so it has give and is really comfortable. It's perfect for girls with a pear shape. Definitely runs short. I'm 5'6 and it didn't touch the floor. Got tons of compliments the night of the Emmy awards, and had a little fun with it before I returned it. Didn't want to give it back!

These were gorgeous and very comfortable. I wore them all night (and it was a long night!) and they never bothered me at all. They're simple enough to be paired with anything, but their beauty is in their simplicity. If you're looking for a statement piece, these probably don't pack the "wow" factor you're looking for.
