Meh... not a winner
Nothing really wow'd me about this dress. It hits below the knee, but not quite a midi. The slit is about 8", so it's still conservative. The neckline is tight and felt restrictive. The body was snug. I'm in between sizes and went up and it was tight, but the stretch made it ok to zip (needed help!). Never ended up wearing it. Felt too blah for my event.

Wish I got the coat!
Absolutely loved this dress. Very thick warm material. No stretch, so size up if in between - it will still fit! The tie around the waist adds a little bulk to your silhouette and is short when you sit, so I had to keep my hands/purse in my lap during a business happy hour. Other than that - amazing! Wish I got the matching coat!

Casual or fancy
Great dress, material was thicker than I imagined and actually longer than I wanted. I'm 5'5 and it came about 4inches above the knee. I wanted a mini, and I actually got one as I walked (the skirt rides up). Issue is it starts to bunch around the midsection, so it may look like a little tummy. I wore with boots & scarf to keep it more casual, but easily can dress up with heels and accessories. No issues with neckline either - mine stayed in place off the shoulder.

Blush pants
These run TTS or a bit large. I am a 4, but ordered the 2. If you want them more "work appropriate" order your true size. I went smaller and didn't mind them being tighter - They were snug at first, but stretched out as the day went on. Surprisingly, no gap in the back which is a huge plus considering there are no belt loops.

***Stunning***
I received so many compliments on this dress. You can pull it down to mid-thigh, but it does tend to ride up when you walk. It was also really short when you sit, so I strategically placed the tie for the waist in the center. I'm normally a 4/6, and rented the 6 - perfect fit with stretch. Want to buy this one...

Impossible to get out of
Beautiful leather dress with some stretch so if between sizes go down. Top is VERY roomy, but I didn't mind. I'm 34C and it gaped a little bit (size 36 dress). Didn't end up wearing cause it was so difficult to remove I didn't want to deal with it at the end of my night. They designed this with a small 10" zipper along the side of the Ribcage but the dress is stitched together at the armpit. Weird. Needed a friend to help lift it off.

Beautiful neural goes with everything
I rented this for everyday, but forgot my black clutch one night and still received compliments on the bag for "matching" my outfit. Cool gold bangle style handles allows me to easily wear it on one wrist, or long shoulder strap too. Beware it topples easily when set down so be sure to tuck your small things at the bottom or in a separate zip bag inside. Wanting to keep this one....

Don't hesitate - rent this dress!
Loved this dress but.... no stretch so if between sizes, then size up. Rides up when you walk, but I wanted it short. Great for broad shoulders/ large bust - plenty of room up top while bottom fit TTS. For reference I typically wear 4/6 in dresses and the 4 was snug (but not unbearable) from the waist down.

Casual bucket bag
These are two separate pieces - the tan leather bucket and then the brown outer rope part with the handle. Perfect size for phone, keys and sunglasses. It doesn't have a top closure so just be sure it sits up or everything falls out.

Long straps!
Rented this dress for a more casual look - paired with denim jacket a strappy flats. Easy to dress up with cute wedges or heels. Appropriate mid thigh length for most non-work occasions (I'm 5'6 short torso and wore size 6). No bra needed, but shoulder straps were long and kept sliding down.

Stiff shirt material
I'm a size 6/8 up too and rented the M. It fit (has a side underarm zipper) but was a stiff shirt material that felt scratchy. Didn't end up wearing it. I wasn't in love with the sleeve style - way puffier in person, and the buttons at the wrist were tight. This is longer in the arms, but a great crop length.

Banging short DVF romper
This was my second time renting this romper. Love the wrap feature, looks like a very short dress in front, but perfect (short!) shorts in the back. I think this would be great for larger chested girls because of the wrap feature, the waist is adjustable because of the wrap/tie feature. Arms are a little snug, but doable - not too much stretch to the fabric. TTS.

Great fit TTS with stretch to hold you in. Lower cut in the front, and hit about 4" above the knee (I'm 5'6") and wore a size 6. Can wear a regular bra. Zips at both ends.

Great substitute for LBD
I'm a true size 6 (sometimes 8 in designer) and this romper fit like a dream in size M. The bell sleeves with cuff are even better in person. Loved the open back that you can adjust the tie around the back to fit more snug/loose. Don't need a bra as the front has thicker fabric and I tied the neck tighter to make the chest area lift up!

Great structured tote perfect for everyday work and life
This bag is very sturdy and can stand up on it's own without falling over, but if it falls over beware - you'll be chasing down all your stuff as there is no zipper compartment aside from one for business cards. I have a 15" laptop that *just* fits inside with the flaps unsnapped. Great every day work bag and the color goes with everything.

Sophisticated sexy
Loves this dress. I'm a true dress size 6 and the 6 fit perfectly. If you're curvier on the bottom it could be tight as the fabric has little stretch and is lined. I typically wear a 4 in bottoms and an 8 in Jackets. If you're a 6/8, I'd size up to the 8.

Love this blazer. I have broad shoulders and this has a little bit of stretch to fit while still having a tailored waist. I'm normally a 6 in dresses, sized up to an 8 because of my shoulders and so glad I did. Will def rent again!

Beautiful but impossibly small
As a true size 6 dress, the Small in this romper was impossible to zip up. There is no clasp and I couldnt do it on my own. Im 5'5" with a short torso and the torso lenth was great. If youre taller or have longer torso, size up. My bust is 37" and it was tight in the chest. Overall Length was great amd covered my Booty. Next time, ill order a Medium so I can zip it up!

Snug and sexy
I tried to wear this for work, but it was not appropriate if you have any chest over a B - the V is sexy for weekend or date, but too much for work. Also size M is definitely body-con tight. I'm a size 6 and this would be perfect for a cocktail party or date. Length is longer but hikes up as you walk because there is no slit and it's tight stretchy fabric.

DVF dresses are always spot on
This dress is cut a little larger than some Other DVF dresses. The stomach/hip area (from the side) has extra fabric, as if to accommodate you if you're 15 weeks pregnant or bloated. Waist is larger too - on a size 6, it was closer to 29-30" but again, that's the shift style. I am 5'5" and the length was conservative. Color is great - bright and cheerful.

Size up if you have a large chest. I'm 34C and the size 6 squished my boobs I ended up wearing pasties only. Wrinkles easily, but is a fun statement too.

This is a no
Way too small at size 6. I don't know if mine was shrunken but it rid up the front and back (not in a flattering or comfortable way) button in front wouldn't stay closed and the lining kept showing (which makes me think it shrunk?). Went straight back to RTR once I took it out of the bag.

Conservative sexy
This is a pretty conservative dress except that it's tight and short (which I loved) I am a size six and went up to a 10 based on the reviews. So glad I did. Even with my athletic frame it was snug, but looked great on. It's a thicker fabric so if you have bumps it smooths but I'd suggest spanx to really pull everything in. The dress is cut for tiny waist and booty. I am 36-27-37 and it was tight on my chest. Throw in a statement necklace and nude heels or booties!

Cute day romper for golf tournament & people watching
For starters - if you have a short torso this is NOT for you. I am 5'5" with a 33" inseam (to give you perspective on my proportions. This romper had a good 2-3" where It could be shortened at the torso. If you are taller or have a long torso this would look great! It fit okay in the crotch area, but because it was so long on me, the open back folded and popped open/outward. Think of one of those paper fortune cookie things how they fold out. Other than the weird fit with the torso length and back, it was cute. Probably a 4-5" inseam so it was appropriate for family gatherings.

Bold bright pink sheath
This dress was beautiful, though the sizing is off. - runs very small/tight. This would have been great for a wedding or date, but for work it was a tad too tight without my blazer. I typically wear a size 6 dress (Calvin Klein sheaths are my go-to) but have found I've needed to size up to 8 with many RTR dresses. I'm wearing an 8 here, but next time will order 2 sizes up (size 10). This was so tight it squished my chest (34/36c) , but I have broad shoulders and a wider rib cage. Those with narrow torso should be fine. Racerback shoulders look awesome and the fabric is thicker but had a nice stretch.

I'm more of a sheath-dress girl, but this dress gave so much shape. If you have a booty size up since it gets shorter in the back. It was a pale pink with a nice heavier knit feel. I am definitely renting this again!

Form fitting knock out.
Even (straight) men stopped me to tell me how much they liked this dress. I wore it under a navy blazer for work and t was perfect. Conservative sexy for sure. It hugs curves so if you have any bulges maybe size up or wear spanx.

Size down!
I wanted to love this so so bad! I ordered my regular dress size (6) and it was huge in the hips. I had to tie the belt tight and pull it over just to shorten the shorts part. I have a shorter torso, and long legs so I recommend sizing down for short torso and keeping regular size for long torso.

Ok dress. Color was duller than expected.
If you have broad shoulders size up. I am a 6 /8 on top and 4 bottom normally and got the 8 because my normal size 6 was out of stock. It was big in the waist, but a belt cinched it in. I felt the color was a dull cranberry, and looked better on than in the hanger. A bit long (I'm 5'6' and size 8 hit below my knee cap). Next time I'll get my true size and deal with the tight arms.

Solid work dress
I originally ordered my normal size (6) and it was way too tight on my broad shoulders and athletic arms. It had very high armholes, and I wasn't about to have chaffed pits. ,this time, I sized up to (8) and it was much more comfortable. A little big in the waist, but It was okay. A skinny black belt cinched it in. Nice work staple dress.

Not quite what I expected
This jacket is quite heavy and fits strange. I have a short torso and found the jacket overall to be boxy in the waist, tight in the shoulders and short in the torso and arms. I had to roll my sleeves up because the sleeves were a good 1-2" short from my wrist. Probably not renting this again.

I have very broad shoulders and a small waist. This jacket was great because it stretched around my shoulders without looking too small, and then had a great taper for my waist (27"). I will definately be renting this again.

The bag is pretty but very small & "fat" so you have to hold it in your hand and can't really put it under your arm. I should have read the dimensions.
