Colorblock Crew Neck Sweater
Fuzzi
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8

Baggy!
I think RTR programmed me for a size bigger than they should have, but after a few hours I was hitching these up! They were nice at first and then kept stretching until nothing at all was special about them.
50s Cigarette Jeans
RE/DONE
Size Worn: 30R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Very nice, kinda boring
I had the large and it was slightly boxy (I am usually a medium)--but I don't think I could have sized down because it would have been too short.

Five Stars For You Blouse
BB Dakota
Size Worn: M

Height: 5' 8"

Looks expensive
Completely worth wearing, while kind of unremarkable. Not flattering but fine
Purple Print Tie Neck Blouse
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Very normal
Have had it for a while but haven't worn it yet...fine, but very basic
Navy Double Breasted Jacket
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Very easy to wear, interesting
Easy to dress up or wear with jeans. Not deeply flattering but definitely effortless.
Floral Magical Top
Iro
Size Worn: 38
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Columnar, with too much drapey fabric right at the waist
Almost good but not quite. Really unflattering cut, a belly accentuator.
Tulip Floral Gown
Thakoon x RTR
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Fit...OK
Kind of bunch/baggy/tight/riding up....might be my body shape, but I wanted this to work better!
Geo Print Pullover
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Really nice
When it fits better it doesn't look dumpy like it does on the model
Dean Dress
rag & bone
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Too tight
Wanted to look elegant for a work event; it was very tight on the hips and butt
Dark Slate Draped Sheath
HALSTON
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Beware: extremely conservative
My husband joked that I could only wear this to the fundraiser for a mid-sized New Jersey town library. It is sooo buttoned up. Also really for short torsoed ladies (not me) so wasn't too flattering either.
Metallic Nicki Dress
CATHERINE DEANE
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
....fine
I don't know who the other reviewers are, but they must have really small waists! I found that everything fits pretty well, even loosely, and then the waist is oddly tight and uncomfortable. They are weird pants, I kind of like them. They have a few layers inside and so are more thick and hot than it seems like they would be.
Eggplant Kali Pants
Sea New York
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Beware faces in design
I didn't see that the design has faces and it is not at all what I wanted. Unwearable. Fit was eh, fine but not flattering
Abstract Printed Top
3.1 Phillip Lim
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Eh!
It was fine. Comes in at the waist so be aware. It is satin, which I didn't quite realize.
White Boxy Blouse
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Very normal dress
I didn't wear it because it got really hot out, but I would have, it is totally acceptable and slightly interesting and fit well. Stretchy waist.
Waldorf Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Eh
The gold was really bold and didn't feel very elegant so I didn't wear it.
Navy Gold Tilly Ruffle Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

Beautiful summer dress
It cinched up nice and felt great and put together in 90 degree New York city. I expected it to be really baggy but I guess I sized down a lot and it was great.
Yellow Drawstring Shirtdress
Co
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

Ok
Got lots of compliments. Fit a little boring/boxy. But it is nice and easy to wear. Keeps you cool!
Printed Tie Wrap Dress
Proenza Schouler White Label
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

I love this
Really hard to get on and off, rather wrinkly by end of day, but I just thought it was great. Someone said: "that jumpsuit is so great because it seems so easy to wear, but you look so put together!" Amazing in the heat today. I have never gotten jumpsuits to work because of my long torso. This was flattering and fantastic.
Linen Button Jumpsuit
Nicholas
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Beautiful, doesn't wrinkle
Really nice dress that is really big. I should have gone from my usual 8 to at least a 4. Flattering. Comfortable. Weird sash around neck, you gotta rock it!
Ines Dress
JOSEPH
Size Worn: 38R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Great shape
This is an unusual dress and a flattering one. The waist was a bit high on me but it still looked good. Felt snazzy wearing it to work!
Weston Knit Mini Shirred Dress
Tibi
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Greatest dress I've gotten
It was really elegant, fell nicely, belt makes it feel fitted rather than overly loose. I just felt like a sophisticated cool person and got lots of compliments. I am in the art world and a lot of the clothes on RTR unfortunately are not my style--this dress is fantastic.

Sienna Funnel Neck Dress
Becken
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Wore to work and a kids party
Kind of a dumpy dress--hard to imagine the waist being flattering on anyone. The top half was nice. It is the type of dress where you wonder if people just like it because it is weird enough that it must be designer, so it gets a pass. I can imagine wearing it again on a really, really hot day--it would be good for that.
Cedar Utility Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Nice
Flowy, thin material--seemed to be starting to be a bit stretched out--it felt like many others had rented this before me. It hit in a more form fitting way than I thought it would at two little rims at the waist, which was nice. Very low cut but you can hide it a little with the bow you make. Mine came without the beads on the tassels and I did actually like it better without them.
Ink Blue Pleated Dress
Veronique Branquinho
Size Worn: 42
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Flattering dress
Not as much of a bell shape as I had feared. Really nice, stretchy lining underneath. Cuffs tight, I could imagine this being too tight on people.
Black City Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
It was nice, nothing to write home about but nice.
Arms long, no lining, plastic stitching added to my overall feeling that it was pretty synthetic. Useful, slightly out of the ordinary.
Belted Cardigan Jacket
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Nice dress!
It made me look skinny and was a nice dress. Not usually my style to be so frilly but also covered enough that it was a cool but not skimpy choice for a work event.
Geo Squares Tie Neck Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Really insane dress
I wanted to like it so badly, and I did wear it, but it is SUCH a loose shapeless nightgown. The print and thin fabric combine to make it seem really odd to wear out. I didn't feel comfortable, though I did feel somewhat glamorous. I felt a little like, "well, I'm in the arts, I'm supposed to look weird!" But...why go for that look??
Floral Monet Dress
Tome
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

I really wanted this to work
Tried to get a larger size next time, never happened. Too short in the torso, but really seemed almost right!
Amelie Jumpsuit
Trina Turk

Liked a lot
Hem was out, that was a bummer. Slightly boring, but honestly I really loved it
Consuela Wrap Dress
Mara Hoffman
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

I wore this and my picture was in the New York Times!
Super great summer party dress. Flattering, straight fit. Distinctive, which can be a little bit of a problem if someone else is wearing it!!!
Colorblock Midi Shift
Mara Hoffman
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Fine not great
It is a little lumpy, not helpful if your tummy is not totally flat, and the crochet outside is not as beautiful as I think it could/should be. But I liked it well enough.
Blue Floral Lace Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
It is a nice easy shirt.
Like so many things like this, it is a little short on me. Sleeves are short too, I am assuming this is purposeful. Not anything to write home about, but cute!
Gingham Ella Top
M.i.h. Jeans
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
Kinda neutral
Boxy appearance didn't feel as menswear chic as I wanted, but it is definitely nice. It is pretty heavy wool, I'm going to wear it as a jacket for the cold tomorrow.
Monty Blazer
rag & bone
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

Felt like an old lady
Not such a cool fit, not such a cool dress. Pretty big, made for a short torso, however.
Plum Animal Printed Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 148lbs
huge
Really huge! Weird. Too bad it is black because the detail is really lost in darker lighting. A very severe dress. Much longer than it looks on the model, even though I'm 5'7/5'8--I'm disappointed. Mid-calf.

Cool sweater!
It looks good. Not that comfortable. Interesting. Slightly itchy, I don't love the feel of the material, but nor does it feel like it is actually wool/natural. But I'm gonna have fun wearing it!
