Another classic case of "who is this dress made for?"
Reviews for this item say not to rent if your boobs are large and also not to if they're small. Both are true. If you have small breasts your chest won't fill out the dress. if they're large your breasts will hang out bc the neckline is so wide it is at your nipples. You really can't wear a bra. If you are hell bent on wearing this dress only do it if you have good fashion tape. Otherwise, normally a M but rented a L for 32 weeks pregnant. Wore once in my own home bc the neckline is embarrassing

Cute for maternity too
Wore this dress in a large at 6 month/ 28 weeks pregnant (about 160lbs) for my cousins shower. It was pretty comfortable and cute. I am running kind of big right now but this still fit pretty good. Not tight at all. I don't think this will fit after another few weeks so I suggest wearing by late second trimester/early third trimester if you are pregnant since large is the largest size available.

Weird fit
Weird fit. Wore this At about 6 months /28 weeks pregnant. Even with that being the case, this is a weird fit. I had a hard time zipping the part on the side around my chest. And not bc it was too small bc it was too big. You need to wear something under this or your boobs will hang out. I wore a bandeau bra that was the same color as the dress so that it didn't look funny. I think the size was ok bc of my belly but otherwise my normal size probably would have been too long and too big on top

Giant even for pregnant people
Wow. This is huge! I am normally a medium/size 8 and I am also about 5 months/23 weeks pregnant and this is still massive. I expected it to be large based on other reviews but wow... haha. I honestly probably could have got an extra small. I think what makes it unflattering is that the added high to low hem line that you can't really see in the picture. So it is poofy and kind of short. I think that if this was a silky fabric it would have fallen a little bit better against the body instead of being poofy. I added a belt above my belly to give it a little shape and it looks better. A belt at the waist would look good too. VERY IMPORTANT: Wear a pair of leggings or tights under this dress because it absolutely will blow up and show your bum in the slightest bit of wind! haha Lastly, this is not a low maintenance, cute spring dress. With the poofy-ness, high to low cut, bottom blowing up in the wind...don't expect to be casually chic and effortless. This is a more "wear around the house" dress.

Unique. Pretty for spring
This sweater was nice for those funny spring days is New England that end up being 40 degrees. You can still be warm but the color gives you that nice spring pop. I tried tying the tails/draping (whatever you want to call it) a few different ways and also just letting them hang. I am 5'2 and they almost hit the ground but not quite. I usually wear a medium but sized up because I am about 5 months/23 weeks pregnant and still wanted this to have a slightly oversized/cozy fit. It fit pretty good, however, I think the torso would be a bit short even without the growing belly. The sweater hit right at the top of my hips and my belly isn't that big yet.

Cute, casual, short
Another shirt that is slightly too short in the torso. Sized up from an 8 to a 10 and it is still barely hitting my hips. Cute for every day. I like the sleeves.

Short in the torso
Cute. Short in the torso - and my torso is already very short. Borderline cropped. This is a really nice top for work or to snazz up your every day look. I sized up (normally an 8) and it still felt kind short. I really wish RTR would cut down on the number of short/cropped-esc tops and expand to appeal to more tastes and body types.

Tight in the arms
This item is very tight in the arms. I usually wear a size 8 dress and a 38 did not fit well at all so I sent it back for a 40 which is still a little tight in the arms still but is wearable at this point. My arms are average to muscular from yoga so not huge or anything. The dress is cute. Note: It is navy not black.

Olsen twin vibes... but not in a good way
I am so confused by this item. It looks so cute and perfect for fall in all the pictures. For some reason I had it in my head that this dress would be soft and mid length. Nope! It is a silky material which, while nice, dials the old lady factor up even more. I 5'2 so this came all the way down to my ankles. I liked wearing this as caftan more than a dress because it was very tight around the chest and it didn't look quite right buttoned up. Would not recommend. Cuter in pics than actually on.

So pretty
Rented this for my bridal brunch that never happened and ended up wearing it for St Patrick's day instead. I felt so pretty in this dress. Similar to what the other reviews said, the inner bodice is tight but the rest of the dress is flown. Would rent this again.

It's a sweatshirt
Make no mistake - this is just a fancy sweatshirt. Cool sleeves - but it is still a sweatshirt. And even though it is a RM item - it is still a sweatshirt. Wore it a couple times but if you are going for a similar look I would choose something with a different material if you don't want to look so casual.

Great standout item!
Great sweater! Love the sleeves and the neck. I don't usually go for cropped items since I already have a short torso but this item is so chic and cool that I wanted to give it a try. I liked wearing this with black leggings (liquid /faux leather look) better than jeans.

Awesome!
Great for every day! Love the draping. Very chic. Wore a black cami underneath because of the cut (a little high at some parts) and the material is thin. I don't know how I don't have a picture of me wearing this - I wore it SO many times. Would have considered buying if it wasn't so expensive.

Not my favorite rental
Love the pattern of this dress, don't love the cut, the ruffles and how complicated it is. The way the ruffles are cut on the bottom made me feel like the dress was hiking up and showing my bum even if it wasn't. Weird snaps for the front to close. This is definitely a classic case of wondering who this dress is made to fit - huge chest, small waist, very short. All of this being said - it actually looks good in pictures. Have a back up plan if you are renting for a specific occasion

I think I like it.....
I think I like this sweater...I'm not sure. Obviously the sweater has different patterns/colors of material... but this felt and looked like one of those 90's dickie turtlenecks was sewn into a sweater but the dickie was too big for the rest of the sweater. Once I got passed that I wore this twice because it is still an interesting sweater. I would recommend wearing a long sleeve crew neck tshirt under this, otherwise the neck and arms are bit itchy.

Versatile
I like this blouse because it can easily shift between work and everyday. The top collar looks a little bit like a casual sweatshirt and the shirt itself is obviously much fancier. I was also impressed with the quality of the blouse given that it appears this item has been rented a lot based on the number of reviews. I wore this with jeans, black pants, a skirt....really anything. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful color!
Love this leather jacket! Beautiful color. Great for transition to fall when you still want to wear something colorful but you need to be warm. Sat outside wearing this coat for dinner at night and I was perfectly warm. I am surprised I don't have a picture of me wearing this because I wore it so much! Really love it. It runs a little small since it is kind of cropped. I usually wear an 8 and the 10 fit pretty good especially when I wore it with a sweater dress. Would rent again.

Cute but weird zipper
Cute skirt. I have worn it a few times and probably will wear a few more before returning. Pattern is great. The skirt is not lined and even thought the fabric is silky and beautiful, it is still thin fabric so plan accordingly with your undergarments. The high waist is flattering. I took off 1 star because the placement of the zipper on the hip looks a little lumpy. I imagine this is where the zipper is supposed to be since the inner design tag is at my low back. See picture to compare each hip

Stylish - great fit
I wore this item a few times for work. The sizing was great. It didn't fit too tight or clingy. I could actually tuck a shirt into it without being worried that the skirt would cling so much to my bum that you would be able to see the line of the shirt. No lines! Thick but not too heavy. I am short and this was a great length on me. Really loved this skirt a lot. I wish it wasn't getting warmer so I could wear it more this winter season! Would be great for fall too!

Very cute. Very small.
This is such a cute jumpsuit for vacation. Believe the reviews - size up. I normally wear a medium but went with the large. It was still snug around my bum and I had a little trouble zippping up still. I would have double sized up for a more flowy fit if I could have. Overall really cute, flirty and perfect for warm weather.

Great for every day
Great coat. Only has one button so this is a little drafty. Definitely wear a scarf with this if you live somewhere really cold. The overall fit is oversized so this is a great coat to wear with a sweater without looking like you are busting through your jacket. Go with your usual size and you will still have that oversized look. Also the picture makes the coat look more gray - it's just black and white. It looked a little different than expected.

Seems like something a teenager would wear
I rented this for a holiday party. I ended up wearing a different dress but this one was vnice. If it wasn't for the sheer mid section, it would feel like some sort of high school homecoming dress. This is probably because it is so many sparkles. Absolutely size up in this brand.

Cute skirt. If you are a little curvy like me size up . It was a little tight around the hips so it didn't quite have that high waisted look.

The sleeves on this shirt are awesome. The bit is a bit odd. The chest feels very big but the bottom of the shirt seems short. Had to pin it to keep it close to the chest for work.

Cute but not for me
These pants are very cute with the ruffles. I just don't think they are made for my body type (short, bigger bum). These pants don't have pockets on the back which generally I don't find flattering on me. Because I am short these pants weren't really cropped (which worked in my favor for winter). I think these probably would have looked better on someone taller and less curvy. I didn't feel confident in these. The high waste didn't translate for me - I just felt restricted.

I love that this can be worn as a back back, shoulder or cross body bag. Straps are adjustable too. I used this for every day. Just enough space for a small wallet, cell phone, sunglasses and a tiny make up bag. If it was just a little bigger a would have bought it.

Huge... but on trend
I got this coat in a size larger than I normally would based on RTR recommendation and availability. It was huge even with a sweater on. Would size down/ get my normal size (M) if I rent again. This color is great . Overall it is very very warm.

Funny shape but still amazing
Love this dress. Beautiful material. The shape of the dress is kind of funny. I wore a large but definitely could have sized down. The sleeves were a bit long (I rolled the cuffs) and the chest is a bit big as you can see from the picture. Also - the dress is not lined. I feel like if I was 4 inches taller and had a much bigger chest it would have looked better but I still love it and got a million compliments. My co workers actually stopped me in the halls to ask about this dress.

Gorgeous
Beautiful, comfortable, flowy. Someone told me I looked like a doll wearing it! I wore this to work and on a date for my bday. One thing to note, the buttons have spaces in between them so if you are wearing this to work you will need some sort of undergarment or light shirt underneath so that you aren't showing too much skin at work.

Oversized and awesome
Love this coat! I usually wear a size 8 and got a size 8 based on the reviews. It definitely is oversized, as expected. Not tight at all, even in the arms. The stripes are red and black. For some reason I thought they were more navy than black when I first saw the item on the website. I wanted to wear this as a blazer to work at first but it is so heavy/thick/warm/oversized that I'm wearing it more as a fall coat. Love this!
