Flowy and romantic
Rented this to potentially use for a Halloween costume, but ended up going with another option. Was a really pretty and romantic dress though and wished I had another reason to wear it.

Loved this dress. It was for sure a little short, so I felt it was better with tights, but such a cute silhouette. Wore for a nice dinner and a show in NYC.

Like a wearable night sky
This jumpsuit is truly such a great midnight blue color with the perfect constellation-like amount of sparkles. It was shorter than I would have liked (I’m 5,5” for reference), but otherwise, no complaints.

Fun if you like sheer
This was a little outside my typical wheelhouse, but it was a fun top to wear out on a date night. Fits true to size and looks like you’d expect. If you like a truly sheer top, this is a good one

Absolutely love this jacket. Elevates very casual outfits instantly and has the perfect slightly oversized fit. It’s also surprisingly warm. Loved it so much that I bought it when I found it on sale.

Way too long in the chest
I’m normally a 6 in Reformation dresses, but tried an 8 since that was all that was available and I loved the color. Unfortunately it was unwearable for me. Way too long and baggy in the chest - my boobs would have been out, no question - even with tape. I have a hard time imagining one size down would’ve solved this issue. Also it was much shorter than I expected. I’m only 5’5”, and it didn’t touch the ground even when I was barefoot. Overall, just did not work for me. Gorgeous color though.

Classy and pretty
Rented this as an option to wear to an outdoor beach wedding in January. It ended up being warmer than anticipated, so didn’t choose this option. That said, it was very pretty. A little snug in the waist on my ribs, but this was also right after the holidays… so likely had more to do with me than the dress. Otherwise, true to size.

Liked it
Rented this to potentially wear to a rehearsal dinner, but the weather ended up being warmer than originally anticipated, making this a bit too heavy of an option to wear. I did like it, but felt it looked a bit baggier than I wanted it to in places. Overall still very pretty and a great color.

Compliments galore
All I can say is rent this dress and prepare to be complimented. It’s gorgeous, and the way it moves is so pretty. Likely would not be accommodating for larger chests, but does mid-size boobs some great favors. I would suggest you have another person tie the back and double knot it because the fabric ties slip and become looser pretty quickly if not. Found myself with some unexpected side boob after sitting for the ceremony and had to have my husband cinch me back in, but didn’t have any issues the rest of the night once he tightened it and double knotted the bow.

Oversized and fun
Wore this on a trip to Park City, and it was great. Very oversized. 4 stars because I think it could stand to be a smidge smaller for the sizing. That said, still very fun to wear and warm. Plus nice big pockets that meant I didn’t need to carry a bag.

Total goddess vibes
I wore this for a Persephone costume for a Halloween party, and it was perfect. Gave total goddess vibes. On top of that, it was insanely comfortable to wear. It’s obviously fairly low cut, so be aware if that’s not your thing. I didn’t need to wear a bra with it, which I count as a win. Also it was the perfect length to kind of just sweep and trail on the floor in a really beautiful way when I was barefoot, and I’m 5’5” for reference.

Way too much fabric
I had high hopes for this dress to potentially use for a Halloween costume, but it just did not look good on me. It was generally a tad too big, but my main issue was how much fabric there was in the sleeves. They were so long and bunchy, and not in a good looking way. On top of that, the shoulder pads were more intense than I was expecting. All in all, just not for me.

Comfy and cute
Loved this set. Wore on vacation in Italy, and it was so comfy but felt put together. Kind of felt like wearing elevated pajamas, but in the best way. Would rent again. I would’ve probably gotten a size up in the pants, but it wasn’t available. The waist was a smidge tight, but not prohibitively uncomfortable and there was plenty of room everywhere else.

The Perfect Set
If you’re thinking about it, just rent it. It’s seriously such a great set. The top is the perfect crop length with the skirt, and it’s really flattering. I kept this one for a couple months, wore it multiple times for date nights and NYE, and then ended up buying it.

So baggy in the butt
I wanted these to work so bad because I’m such an overalls fan. They were so baggy despite me being 30 weeks pregnant, about 145-150 lbs, and putting them on the tighter fitting buttons. They were just not flattering at all on me, so I didn’t wear them.

Perfect for pregnancy
Absolutely loved this one. Wore twice in my third trimester at 32-33 weeks when I was about 150 lbs, and it was so cute, comfortable, and easy to throw on. Was worried it might be too short with the bump based on other reviews, but I didn’t have an issue with the length.

Rent it
I loved everything about this dress. The color, the sleeves, the sequins. Just all of it. I rented this for an NYE party when I was 20 weeks pregnant, and it was a dream. I rented a 4 and a 6, and while both fit fine, I went with the 6 for a smidge more room for the bump and a tiny bit more length. I also didn’t have to wear a bra with it, which I always count as a win.

Very cute, but very short
Rented this when I was about 24 weeks pregnant. The silhouette was extremely comfortable and worked great for pregnancy, and I loved the dress overall. Like all the other reviews note, this dress is super short. I’m 5’5”, and I felt like it barely covered my butt. I definitely wouldn’t have worn it without tights, but aside from that, I was a big fan. So as long as you’re good with the short length, go for it.

Great color, ok coat
Rented this coat - mostly for the gorgeous green color - for a trip to NYC in January. The color was the best part and went with everything. It was very comfortable and easy to wear with both daytime and nighttime outfits, but hung kind of weird on the side with the buttons. I liked it, but didn’t love it. It also probably wouldn’t have been warm enough if the weather was much colder, but it worked for the high 30s - low 40s temps.

This dress is an absolute dream
This might be my favorite RTR dress that I've ever worn. It's beautiful, flowy, and so comfortable to wear. It is perfectly fitted in the bust, giving you some pretty awesome cleavage, but amazingly flowy in the body, leaving you free to eat and drink to your heart's content. This was perfect for me since I wore this to a friend's wedding in Italy, where there was a delightful amount of food and wine involved. Also the back of this dress is divine. I wore 3-3 1/2 inch heels with it, and the length of the 2R was perfect, just brushing the ground with my shoes on. I really can't recommend this dress enough. It's a dream.

Amazing color and so flowy!
I absolutely loved this dress. The fabric and the way it moves when you walk makes you feel very elegant, and the color is to die for. I will say, the bust area of the dress is a little difficult to deal with. I used fashion tape to try to keep it in place; I also used fashion tape for the straps, as they were loose and prone to fall down. The tape helped, but the fabric didn't do a great job of sticking to it, so I had to keep readjusting it. Due to the low back, I chose not to wear a bra; I'm a D, and nubras really don't do anything for me. I just used the fashion tape to keep everything in place, which worked for the most part. It just required a lot of monitoring to make sure the fabric was still sticking to the tape. In general, I would say the dress was true to size. I gave it four stars rather than five, only because of the constant adjusting I had to do to keep from flashing everyone. Overall, I loved this dress and would highly recommend it!

Loved the color!
I really liked this dress. It was great to wear to dinner on vacation. It's very flattering for a shift, which is something that I don't always find to be the case, and I really liked the color/pattern of it. As pretty much all of the other reviews have stated, it's very short. However I expected this based on the other reviews and planned in advance to wear flats with it, so it wasn't a big deal for me. I definitely couldn't have bent over while wearing it though as my whole butt would have been visible. Additionally the arms are fairly constricting, but again I was expecting that. I do feel that the 2 might have looked a little better, but I also think that it would have been more restrictive in the arms and shorter, so the 4 worked just fine for me. I will say the one real complaint I had about the dress was that it smelled very strange, which was slightly off putting, but once I put perfume on, I didn't really notice it. Overall, I enjoyed wearing this dress.

So cute and comfy
I loved wearing this dress. It was perfect for a casual day of sightseeing and shopping during a weekend getaway. It is seriously so comfortable and looks super cute on. I did find the sleeves to be a little long for my liking, so I rolled them up, but that's just a personal preference. While I feel that I could've worn a 34 (2) rather than the 36 (4), I still feel that it fits true to size--I just constantly find myself between those sizes. I would definitely recommend this dress if your looking for a casual, cute everyday look.

Beautiful and fun to wear
This dress is everything that a tulle dress should be--romantic, whimsical, and so fun to wear. I received several compliments throughout the evening. It was also surprisingly comfortable. It was a little constricting in the sleeves, but that was to be expected. As far as fit goes, it was true to size. I'm a pretty standard size 4, and this dress fit pretty much how I would expect a 4 to fit. It was pretty wrinkled upon arrival, but I steamed it before wearing it, and that made it look about a thousand times better. Also, I wore 4" heels, and they peeked out the bottom just a little. This worked fine for me, but just a heads up to anyone thinking of wearing tall heels with it. Overall, it was a great dress, and I really enjoyed wearing it.
