One of my favorite rentals
Truly a perfect basic dress. Figure-flattering and fits in all the right places. I wore it with a cardigan for work because it was a little cool out and it was perfect for the office. Will for sure rent it again.

Holy cow--this top is the most amazing thing I've rented from RTR yet. Wore with white jeans and booties to a concert and felt so awesome the whole night. Everything about it is spot-on.

Classy and feminine
Wasn't sure how the color would work on me, but it was gorgeous. Also, I usually struggle with sheath dresses and prefer body-con with some stretch because of my long torso, but this dress flattered in all the right places. Will rent again.

Great fit, but needed a cami
Loved the dress--quality material and flattering fit (which isn't always true for maxi dresses on me), but definitely needed a cami for work.

Beautiful and unique
Love the color, the cut, and the uniqueness of this dress. It's a classic with a slight twist--v-back and longer in the back than front. I will rent again.

Nothing special
I felt like this was just an okay jacket--not very tailored looking. I wouldn't rent again.

Gorgeous color, but size up
The color is amazing, and I received tons of compliments on the dress. The lining rode up on me all day, though, and you could see the bunching easily, so size up.

Not shape-flattering
Okay at best. Just not very flattering, other than the color. I ended up not wearing it. Size up if between sizes, though.

Too short for work
Cute dress, but the one side and the back are too short to wear to work. In fact, I probably would have been self-conscious wearing it anywhere--I felt like my but was hanging out the back.

Just okay
This is a beautifully made and unique dress, but it just didn't "wow" me. With long legs, I felt like a baby doll. Probably better on shorter women.

Christian Siriano

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 10"

Not flattering for long torso
I ended up not wearing this dress because the armholes showed a great deal of my bra, and the torso was too short. The color is beautiful, but the style of the dress is somewhat matronly. Just not my style.

The most amazing dress I've ever worn
Truly--no exaggeration. This is the most gorgeous, flattering, amazing dress I have ever worn. I am still getting compliments on it after wearing it to an auction three days ago. No spanx or bra needed. It truly fit like a glove.

Great style, but thin material.
I loved the cut and style of the dress, but the material is really thin, which makes it look somewhat cheap.

Flattering and quality material
LOVED this, but made the mistake of wearing a bra with straps. Definitely needs a strapless bra unless you want to keep hiding your left bra strap all day.

So cute with black leggings and boots
Loved this simple, but unique, dress. I wore it to work and church with black velvet leggings and brown riding boots. My only complaint is that it pulled/gapped in the bust area, but that's a problem I often have with button-down shirts.

Just okay
Runs large, and not all that flattering. The material is great, but it seems to puff out around the hips instead of being form-fitting. Will not rent again.

Not for big busts
This was incredibly unflattering and frumpy on me. Not for women with big busts, as it takes away from the length.

Great with jacket
I rented this for work and it looked fantastic with a gray wool jacket. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, I noticed it smelled like body odor, so I had to send it back without wearing it.
