No rental regrets
I rented the 2 because the 0 was unavailable, and it's a bit big on me. So I think this is a TTS 2 (though I've put on a little quarantine weight, so possibility it runs a touch big). Cute dress. Love the sleeves. Material is a little scuba like. Wish it were lined though.

NOT high rise
These jeans are stamped with "9" mid-rise" inside. They're cute, but if you rent to wear with crop drops, expect these to hit a few inches below your belly button. Not sure why RTR calls these high-rise when Madewell doesn't.

Cute but doesn't fit much
Pretty purse. Well constructed. Unique two-tone metal hardware and cool asymmetrical shoulder strap design. Didn't keep long though because couldn't fit a lot into it. Basically just my phone, credit card case, comb and lipgloss. I need more room for the day to day.

Gorgeous dress, poses a few logistical challenges
I received a ton of compliments and garnered plenty of male attention in this dress. I am usually a 0 or 2 and definitely needed the 2 in this. The sleeves are fantastic. There's no slit though, so climbing stairs and getting into your car can be tough. Also, I found it almost impossible to pull up to use the restroom. I managed, but it did make me want to reduce my water intake to avoid having to deal with it!

Runs narrow through hips
I was so excited to wear this, but couldn't make it work. I'm usually a 0 or 2, but I would have needed the 4 to be able to accurately review the dress. I simply couldn't make this fit. Way too tight on the hips and butt. From what I could tell, this will display a lot of cleavage.

Cute dress in a sophisticated color
I really liked this dress. Well made. Interesting color. It is a bit short, and I found myself having to tug it back down halfway frequently when walking to keep my rear from being exposed. Be aware it's very unforgiving in the mid-section. I am carrying just a touch more weight there than I'd like to be at the moment, and this dress did nothing to hide that.

Comically oversized.
I tried this on and sent it straight back! It is sooo oversized. Normally, you could get away with that and just rock it, but the cuffs were better suited for a giant (not even closed to being fitted at the wrist). The sleeves were very long, too. I've worn other Stine Goya dresses that are oversized and did not have the same cuff and sleeve issues.

Charming and cute, runs a bit small
Dress is well made. I would have not been able to wear without anything under it, however. Would have been too revealing. Also, when I sat down, the wrap would split open and show a lot of thigh. I think going a size up maybe could have helped these things because I would have had more material. The dress is really structured and more of a thick canvas material. I loved the deep pockets. Did get a bit wrinkled after sitting at a desk all day.

Echoing everyone else... don't bother
Runs large, but was almost impossible to get the neck over my head. It lays in a very frumpy manner on the hips. Zero compliments. Wouldn't keep it if someone gave it to me for free.

Large chested girls might have bra coverage issues, but overall very charming and fun.
Well-constructed dress. I got a lot of compliments, it's very fun. My husband said the colors reminded him of watermelon bubblegum. You can't really tell from the pictures, but the midsection is see-through lace (so are the shoulders). However, the green lace is really tightly woven, so I don't think the cut out is super noticeable. However, my biggest issue was the white band covering the bust was not generous enough for my bust size. Like more than 1/4 of my bust/bra fell below the white band, which you could kind of see through the lace, so I had to wear a white cami underneath. I tried to show this in the picture. If you look close, you can kind where the line of the white band falls (and how much of my bust is below it). Smaller chested girls shouldn't have an issue.

Chic, fits true to size
Pretty, simple dress. Hung nicely, well-made, can't see undergarments through it. I liked the pockets on the dress and the sleeve detail. It was not a bright white (but maybe dingy from dry cleanings? Not sure).

Different, well-made
Super fun dress! I loved the fabric, which has a nice weight, the zipper in the back, and the detailing. I wore it twice! The cut-outs on the skirt did catch on cabinet hardware continuously though throughout the day.

Cute, comfortable
Really lovely dress. Super comfortable. It is a bit clingy, so may not be appropriate in all environments. Color is a rich blue, sleeves are a fun detail, and I love the neckline. I wore it with a statement necklace, which displayed nicely. It is a t-shirt type material with zero lining, and after shoving the sleeves into my coat, they became a bit wrinkled. So hopefully you're some place warmer or have a coat with lots of room for big sleeves.

Well-made, figure flattering, beautiful neckline, dramatic sleeves. Material has a significant heft to it, which is perfect for winter.

Soft and stunning
I was surprised by how much I loved this dress because it is somewhat unremarkable in the photo. The sage color is so pretty, it's really comfortable (no scratching), and the material is super soft (people kept petting me). I felt like it was flattering on. The slit being basically in the middle took a bit to get used to, but I ended up being okay with that. A perfect work dress for winter/early spring. The only minor thing is that you can see the seam popping through from the underside of the dress on the neckline.

Well-made, unique dress.
I adored this dress! I really considered buying it. I got quite a few compliments. Great fit, length, fabric, and color. I loved the unique sleeves, neckline, and just thought it laid really nicely. I wore it during winter with tights and boots. Warning - the cut out in the back can be a little chilly!

Gorgeous emerald color, unique sleeves
I loved the color of this dress, the fit, and the charming sleeve details. I would consider renting this again. Warning, this is a bit short - I wouldn't have worn to work without tights, and the fabric does wrinkle a bit after sitting at a desk all day.

A fun wear
While a shift dress, this isn't a shapeless sack on. I loved the fit, color, and dramatic sleeves with ruffle detail. Hangs nicely, doesn't wrinkle after sitting at your desk. Very comfortable. Cute winter work dress. Received a number of compliments.

Unique, well-made dress
I got quite a few comments on this dress, including someone asking me where I got it. I love the fit (form-fitting), fabric (thick, scuba suit-esque material), length (below knees), color, and cut-out detail in the back. The cut-out did necessitate an adhesive bra, but the weight of the fabric and tightness of the dress helped keep it in place, which can otherwise be a struggle for me due to my chest size. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is, like other reviewers have mentioned, it rides up in a serious way. Expect frequent adjusting.

Cute, but didn't love.
I love the color and the look of the fabric of this dress. However, it was kind of shapeless and overwhelming to my frame - I feel like the size 0 would be more appropriate for a size 2, maybe a 4. My husband suggested belting it, but there was so much excess fabric that didn't really work (I know it's supposed to be a shift style dress, but I think it should be less potato sack-y). I received no comments at work on this dress. The dress is lined, but the sleeves aren't, which makes the arms kind of scratchy. The neck is lined except for the very top portion, so it was uncomfortable around the neck. I also felt like the fabric didn't breathe well, making me kind of hot and sweaty even in a Midwest winter. I think if your measurements suit this style, it could be a pretty dress, just wasn't on me.

Cute jacket, no ideal for cold temps
Overall, I liked this jacket, I think it's cute and looks good with boots. I particularly enjoyed the fullness of the fur lined hood. However, I think it's best for temperatures in the low 40s (pretty specific, I realize). It did not keep me very warm in temperatures in the 30s, though might have been okay with more layering.

You can take on the world in this dress!
I loved this dress. I felt like a total BA in it with red lips. My husband made some Cruella Deville comments, but I received a few compliments from my coworkers. I wish this had been slightly more fitted in the waist as I had a little bit of sagging, but overall would rent again. Very well-made and high-quality fabric.

I love this sweater!
Wore this for my firm's holiday luncheon and paired with a black taffeta party skirt. I got quite a few compliments. It is a little scratchy, so I wore a shirt underneath it. I did not find that it runs small, I thought the fit was true to size. It does hit pretty high, but I like tops that are shorter in length to pair with high waisted bottoms. I considered keeping it because I liked it so much, but I decided I would probably only wear it for special occasions, and when I do have a special occasion, I usually like to wear something I haven't worn before - so sadly, I sent it back.

Size up for sure
Runs very small. I sized up from my normal size (0), and the 2 didn't leave a lot of spare room. If I was going to eat a lot in this, I might have needed the 4! My husband liked it on a lot, but it felt a bit "much" to me. Maybe if I was a few years younger I would have felt more comfortable in this. Ultimately, I didn't end up wearing it. Well made though, lovely thick fabric. I liked the zipper detail on the back and the black waistband.
