Tragically the boning in this top was not supportive enough for a larger chest. Otherwise it is such a a cute top.

Bad fit for pears
I'm usually a 8-10 on top and a 12 on bottom. By ordering a size that fit well on top, the hips/ butt was too tight and rode up, which didn't work on a dress that is already short. One of my friends also pointed out that the side zip results in one side of the peplum not being as voluminous as the other, which didn't bother me, but be warned! Otherwise it's a very stunning dress.

RTR Favorite
I've rented this before and love it. The blue and white combo is one of my favorites, the halter neck is pretty and still full coverage in the front the fit is solid, is lightweight but not sheer, it's nice enough for a semi formal event but could also work for a brunch, date night, etc

Formal
This dress is very pretty and comfortable! I was hoping I could wear this to work or around the house since it is so comfortable, but the fabric is so nice it really reads as formal wear. If you have a wedding or something to go to, wear this and you'll be so comfortable and feel pretty! But maybe skip it if, like me, you don't have a formal event to attend.

Odd fit
I sized up based on reviews that the chest is small, but then the entire garment hung very loose. I'm thinking the fit of this is off in general, which is too bad since the colors are very pretty, especially in person.

Great! Stretches out though
Getting into this initially was a challenge but the dress was very snug and supportive which I liked, however it stretched out throughout the day, and lost a bit of its shape which was disappointing. I'm not sure if washing it would recover the fit, but given it's a rental you'll likely have to be okay with only one wear or a looser shape. The color and style was still very pretty though, and it was comfortable to wear.

Pretty
I didn't wear this. It was floor length on me (5'4") rather than midi like the model and the fabric was quite nice, making it better suited for a formal event rather than the brunch / high tea vibes I'd intended.

... didn't like
This was boxy, the gathers weren't voluminous, and the tie front piece didn't fall on the right spot on me. I did have a friend try it on and it looked much better on her, I think it just wasn't meant for my shillouette.

LOVED
other reviews are correct that this top is small in the bust, regardless of size the button placement caused the top to gape. I ended up wearing it without the buttons done up on top and didn't have an an issue since the top was still snug it covered everything it needed to. I loved the style and the versatility, I got the most wear out of this item!

Cute but not the most flattering
I loved the big heart embellishments and the puff sleeves - so fun and different and a playful take on a bridal occasion outfit (if you're in the market for that). That said, the actual fit and style wasn't my favorite once I was wearing it. I didn't end up wearing this for anything.

High quality
The material was nice and thick, not at all see through despite being white. That pattern and style was very pretty. Only issue was the invisible zip was hard to zip at the waist because of how thick the fabric is.

Unwearable
I should have listened to the other negative reviews. This top was unwearable. This top seems like it should be stretchy, but it isn't. Not only is arm movement heavily restricted, but any attempted movement lifts the entire shirt. The design on the chest (the twisted/crisscross fabric) has boning in it so even when the arms are lowered, the boning stops the shirt from lowering back where it should. I do not recommend anyone attempt to rent this shirt. Note: this was not a size issue- the shirt 'fit' just fine, it just doesn't function correctly as a shirt.

Versatile Gem
I loved this dress. The silhouette and length are dressier, while the denim fabric is casual, making the dress quite versatile. I felt put together but not overdressed at a game night, a walk around the neighborhood, and dinner out. The fabric is thick and holds its shape, but has a bit of stretch so it was very comfortable and flattering to wear. I would buy this dress in a heartbeat if it was in my price range. Highly recommend renting. True to size.

Found the right size for me thanks to other reviews
I was happy with this dress. I think the windowpane fabric is just gorgeous and I loved the ties that could be done up on the sides or front and back to help get the right fit. I do agree with other reviews- the top is a bit large compared to the size of the slip. I have a longer torso and was fine with the fit when I sized up, but if you have a shorter torso and larger butt this might not work well due to the proportions of the dress & built-in slip.

NYE stunner
I wore this to a NYE party with the theme "make the whole place shimmer". I loved how it looked and it was very comfortable (not itchy under the armpits like most sequin dresses) it also had a dense amount of sequins so it looked nicer than anything from zara/h&m/etc. My one complaint is that it ran large (in my opinion) and wasn't adjustable. I'm usually a 10/12 but probably could have sized down to an 8 with all the fabric I had to pin out in the back and pin the straps shorter.

Lovely but loose
I'm usually a 10/12 in skirts, but sized down to an 8 due to recommendations, and found this skirt was still loose. The elastic waistband just doesn't have the necessary structure to support the weight of the skirt without drooping or stretching out. That said, I added a belt to keep the skirt up and supported, and loved the look. The skirt is versatile and pretty and feels like a great choice for fall and winter.

pretty, but not functional
I loved the look of this dress, the tonal blue is perfect and the twist detail in the back is such a nice touch. That said, this dress is practically unwearable if you want to use your arms at all. The sleeves constantly slip from the shoulders (even after sizing down), and the modesty snap is useless. It is at an awkward placement, to begin with, and it is so weak that it comes unsnapped with any movement. I think this dress is lovely to look at, but not wearable without severe frustration.

RTR Favorite
I usually wear size L but grabbed an M in this after reading reviews. The arms were a tiny bit tight at first, but not uncomfortable, and I didn't notice it after the first few minutes. The rest of the dress is perfect. I added a belt and some cute shoes (not the ones pictured lol) and could not get over myself in this. It is so flattering and was perfect for my date night. I highly recommend renting this.

Comfortable but size down
I like that this skirt paired well with the matching top. I did follow the advice to size down and am glad I did. I'm usually an L but ordered the M and it was very comfortable. I did wear the skirt with the slit in front once as pictured but found I preferred to turn it around and wear the slit in the back- it was less likely to ride up or be revealing that way.

Comfortable, but size down
I like that this top paired well with the matching skirt, as well as other bottoms in my closet. I did follow the advice to size down and am glad I did. I'm usually an M/L on top and ordered the small and it was not at all too tight, but tucked into the skirt without too much extra bulk. I mostly wore this as a WFH outfit, and it was comfortable but still looked nice enough for zoom calls.

Fun & eyecatching
True to size and comfortable. I wore this to a party and had so many people come up and compliment the dress. The big sleeves are eye-catching, but the all-black makes it versatile in my opinion. There is a thread in the top that keeps the cutout from separating too far up which is a nice touch.

Couldn't wear
The fit was not designed for bigger chests. I'm a 34DDD and could not tie this top in a way that didn't have weird gaping and bunching in several different places. The color is also more of a burnt orange and brown in person whereas I thought it would be closer to maroon from the RTR photos. It was still a really nice color and pattern, I wish I'd been able to style it in a flattering way, but it was just not working for me.

Rent with caution
The other reviews helped me size down and I think that was the right choice. Unfortunately, this was far too revealing to wear to a wedding like I had originally planned. The neckline is very revealing, but more importantly, the extra fabric draped on the chest is sewn down, so it can't be used for more coverage. When I tried safety pinning the top to be less revealing it pulled and gapped in an unflattering way. There are also two high slits in the front that creates a flap easily blown up in the wind. It is a lovely dress, and I did wear it out to a nice dinner with my partner, but I would not have been able to dance at a wedding without worrying that a strap would slip off, or the front would fly open, etc.

Too small to wear
I saw some reviews say this ran large, and didn't want an oversized look, so I sized down one size. This was a huge mistake. I'm usually a size 10 in dresses and wear a 34DDD bra, but the size M flattened my chest like I was wearing a sports bra. I needed my partners help to zip the side zip, and there was no stretch to the fabric. I think the waist and hips on the medium fit fine, so I understand why some people wouldn't have a problem, but the top was too tight to wear. So DO NOT size down in this if you are busty. As for the style, the asymmetry was more noticeable in person, but looked nice. It would have been a fun and stylish dress if I had picked the right size which makes it even worse that I couldn't wear it.

Nice summer shorts
I really liked the style of these shorts. They gave me 'dressy cargo short' vibes and paired well with a lot of tops. The fit was true to size and very comfortable. I also loved the inseam length- they are short, but long enough to cover my whole butt and not ride up. My only complaint is that they were a bit see through (you can see any underwear that doesn't match your skin color). It would be great if the fabric was a bit thicker, or if the shorts were lined.

Horrible fit
I would be surprised if this dress fit anyone. The shape of the boob triangles seem to be designed for someone with both large and high breasts. If you have small and high boobs, the cups will be too large. If you have large and lower boobs, the seam will pucker oddly. Truly, I don't recommend this to anyone due to fit issues, which is unfortunate because the green linen is such a nice color in person.

Lovely dress for wedding guest
This dress had boning in the bodice so it was nice and supportive and I had no worries about the dress falling down. I thought the pattern was very pretty, and I like how the dress looked a lot. The other reviews are right - it fits TTS, but you can size down if you want for a tighter fit since it has some stretch.

Most worn RTR item
I was living in these shorts for weeks, they are so comfortable and stylish. The length is perfect, they are lined and a thick material so you can wear any color underwear and it won't show, and if you happen to grab the matching vest, the set looks incredible. I was so sad to send them back. The shorts do run a bit large - I have a 30-31" waist and usually wear a size 12, but I definitely could have sized down in these as the waist was a bit loose.

Amazing set
I wish I had photos of this set because it was very nice, and I got a ton of compliments. It's the perfect, dressy, summer, everyday outfit - nice enough to go almost anywhere but causal/comfortable enough to not look or feel overdressed. I will say, I had a hard time pairing the vest with anything other than the shorts, but that may be a result of my personal style. I got a ton of use out of the shorts though, so if you can grab both I highly recommend it!

Beautiful dress for a fancy dinner
This dress was stunning and fit true to size. It has adjustable drawstrings under the bust and on the shoulders which was amazing. The under bust drawstring was supportive enough that I didn't need a bra (34DD), but when both the bust and shoulders drawstrings were cinched, I did find the dress a bit tight around the arm holes, so it worked better for a dinner date than an all day occasion. I imagine it would be more comfortable if you have a smaller chest, or left the drawstrings a bit looser, but I preferred the fitted look. Overall I highly recommend this dress!

Comfortable, cute, can be dressy or casual
I love this jumpsuit. The size 10 fit me perfectly (5' 4" tall, 41" hips, 31" waist, 37" bust). I wore it casually during the week, and I dressed it up for my sister's bridal shower. The material is so comfortable, and it doesn't wrinkle *too* badly. I was seriously considering keeping this despite the price, but I'll probably just rent it again in the future.

Feminine, pretty color, comfortable, but straps won't stay up
I felt great in this top. The color is muted but very pretty, and the frills are lovely. The only con is the straps don't stay up. I usually don't have an issue with straps falling off, but these straps are heavy with the ruffle and have no stretch to keep them in place. Even after pinning the straps shorter, they still fell down. I think it is still a cute off-the-shoulder look, and I would rent again/ buy in the future, but be warned, the straps will NOT stay up. I wear a 32DDD and size 8/10 in tops and the size L fits great.
