Great, over-sized feeling knit sweater.
Love this casual sweater. It is a true open knit, not like a sweatshirt. It's comfortable and over-sized, and covers my bottom. Would look adorable with leggings.

Beautiful fit, softest fabric.
This sweater fit perfectly. Perfect v-neck, and the peplum hits right at the bottom of my waist. You could probably get away with mid-rise jeans if you don't have a super long torso. The fabric is luxuriously soft, and has a tight, thick knit. The dots are actually taupe, not white, which was a pleasant surprise.

Ruffles...
I took my chances on the ruffles and much like the other reviewers mentioned, the ruffles are... intense. This would be great for someone who isn't very busty. Didn't end up wearing.

Perfect fit for days!
These came to be brand new with the original Levi's tags on! These are my new favorite jeans, and I ended up buying them. I'm a 10-12 depending on brand, and I always size up in Levi's. These jeans have the perfect high rise- no pulling up, no falling down. They are thicker, and the stretch is absolutely perfect. It holds you in and doesn't wrinkle or bunch up, they stay in place at the ankles and you aren't having to pull them up. I wore these 4 times (like all day) to test the "wear longer between washes" and they held their shape! I only had them cleaned because they started to smell dirty! Highly recommend.

Cool details, fits small
I usually wear a size 10, size 12 in Mother denim. This size 12 was far too small to even think about getting buttoned around my hips and didn't quite qualify for high rise. I do not have this problem with other Mother denim that I own!

Would be great for walking around in...
After reading all reviews, I decided to take my chances on this dress. It looked so cute in the pictures in the reviews. Sadly, I'm not bold enough to wear this much fabric out, and it really doesn't look good belted. Could be cute if you've got the spunk to pull it off at just the right event. It would be a super cute and very comfortable dress to wear while playing tourist somewhere, but not necessarily to wear to an event.

Flattering fit, cute and functional
I usually wear a large, size 10/12 in dresses. I don't usually choose sleeveless dresses because I have always had the extra bit of armpit fat. This dress will cover it! I'm wearing it to a work BBQ and presentation. It's long enough to chase my kids around, covers enough up top that they can't pull it down and show everyone my bra like usual, and will be light enough for the excruciatingly hot mid-day BBQ.

Cute top, order TTS
I normally wear a m/L but only the XL was available. After reading the reviews about the sleeves being tight, I figured the XL may be fine. It was not. The sleeves on the XL fit fine, but even for the oversized/blousy fit, it looked too big. The sleeves may have been tight on a smaller size. Otherwise, this is a really cute top that I probably would have liked in my true size.

Returned without wearing.
Fits small through the shoulders and chest. I usually wear a medium/large so this should have fit just right. It was wearable, but tight in the shoulders so that the seams hit higher on my shoulders than felt comfortable and just made the shirt look like it was too small. It was also much shorter than pictured in the front, with a high/low hem.

Flattering for everyone
I rented this for a fundraiser as a BACKUP TO THE BACKUP. I had a csection 5 months ago and have the mommy tummy, so I was hesitant to choose a dress that hugs the curves. Having read the reveiws and looked at the pictures from others, I went for it. I'm 5'7 and a comfortable size 12, sometimes a 10. I read that more curvy gals should size up and I'm glad I did. The 14L fit comfortably and wasn't tight at all but not baggy. The 12 likely would have fit just fine but i would have felt insecure as it would have been stretched tighter. When my first dresses didnt work out, the awesome RTR customer service overnighted both the 14L and 16L. I tried the 16L on just for fun and there wasnt a HUGE difference in fit but the arms were more relaxed and i felt like it would have loosened up enough to look baggy and just not as polished. This is a beautiful and flattering dress that will make you feel beautiful AND comfortable. Will probably just rent this for every appropriate event now.

Stunning and unexpected silhouette.
I wore a size 12, but being in between sizes, I think a 10 would have been just right. This low cut dress is perfect for ladies with a larger chest! I was hesitant to wear it, with a 34G, but it was, literally, a perfect fit. This dress would also be perfect for a smaller baby bump, as the waist is fitted right below the bust. I felt beautiful and put together.

Stunning Dress! Great for standing up...
This dress was a lovely pick for a rehearsal dinner on the beach in November! The colors are stunning, the fit was comfortable. I have an hourglass shape, and the top was just slightly large compared to the fit in the hips (just right). You can wear a strapless bras with it, but if the top fits large it will show under the arm holes. While this dress was wonderful, I am glad I had two dresses as this one was hard to bend over in, which is important with a toddler running around and dropping things!

Moves so nicely
I had originally ordered two different dresses that were at least 3-5 inches short, so I quickly called and RTR helped me get a dress for the next day and this was it. While it looks like your standard bridesmaid dress, there's no describing how nice it feels while it is on. I needed a dress three months after having a baby. Having lost NONE of my baby weight I wasn't feeling awesome about showing off my fresh baby belly. This dress fit just right in the right places. The bottom flows beautifully, so you feel very fancy wearing it even though it is a simple gown.

Not big bump friendly.
I was six months pregnant, and showing pretty significantly when I rented this dress. I didn't end up wearing this, but I wouldn't recommend it for pregnant women who have a decent size bump or larger bust. However, the fabric is very light weight and the length was lovely. I would wear this if I were not pregnant. You need a longer or more defined waist line than the one I currently have :).

I felt great and got compliments on it.
I was 6 months preggo, and large at that, and the dress was bump friendly, in a way. It stretched plenty (I ordered the size 10 equivalent and usually order 6 or 8). The top was very loose, I assume because I ordered it larger to accommodate the belly, and required some kind of tank or cami underneath. The front AND back gathers at the waist, which was a little awkward for fit. The length was beautiful- absolutely perfect. Overall the dress was exactly what I needed for the night: totally comfortable, modest, and stretched the fit the belly.

Classic and Beautiful
This dress is classic and beautiful. I ordered this dress and a back up dress. I did not end up wearing this dress because I seemed to be in between sizes. I ordered a 6L and an 8L, and the size 6 felt great everywhere except for my hips, where it fit a bit more tightly than I would have liked. The size 8 fit well in the hips but was big everywhere else. I am 5'7 and I usually order RTR dresses long, but both of my dresses were VERY long, making it difficult to walk in, even with 4" heels. This dress has a small train that you can't see from pictures. The bodice is fitted, and even fit my bust well. When I tried it on, the dress was incredibly flattering. I noticed the fabric was pulled a little bit in a few places, and on the size 6L, the draping was a little off around the waist/accent area. This was what ultimately made me wear the other dress.

I love RTR dresses because I always feel more fabulous than anyone else in the room knowing I am wearing a fabulous dress!
The fabric is light and loose, and I loved how it fell. I am usually comfortable in a size 6, and usually order a 6 and 8 for dresses on RTR. The size 6 fit perfectly, if not just a little large (or just comfortable!). I would warn ladies of ordering this dress too small because it will hug your curves. The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is because I usually order LONG dresses (6L), because I am 5'7 and all of the long rentals have worked in the past. However, this dress was VERY long. I had to use fashion tape to "hem" it up about 5 (FIVE) inches, and still wore 3 inch heels. This was a wonderful dress, and I felt confident renting it.
