Mixed print/Maxed Style
What a fabulous dress. Sized up so it would skim and not cling, was perfect. Felt stylish at a restaurant in Europe. Packs well, doesn't wrinkle and takes up no space. Maybe not for shorter ladies due to length.

Fire-breathing sweater
I enjoyed wearing the graphic sweater trend in this comfy sweater. The fit could be better ... it was really wide and boxy as shown on model and in my photo. Photographs well though!

Eyelet Perfection
This dress is easy to wear and the eyelet is beautiful. The front and top section of the skirt are lined. Photos do not do it justice. This dress just makes you feel pretty.

Wore with a Farm Rio maxi skirt. The size 10 was a little large on me. The straps can be tied different ways.

This is a beautifully made bustier. I didn't quite fill up the cups but still received many compliments while out in Aspen. Wore with a denim skirt.

Gorgeous print and fun design
I enjoyed the beautiful colors and interesting design of this dress. The size small was too short on me but I wore it anyway; received a marriage proposal from man on the street. Might try the M next time.

Pretty in Motor City
This striking dress has a unique texture and design. It's not really denim at all, it's eyelet with a cotton backing, and it's structured like a blazer dress with a waist. No less than 4 different people complimented me on it while bar crawling through Detroit. It is very comfortable and I was even able to bike in it without feeling indecent. Perfect for a summer day and night of urban exploring.

Slinky skirt
As others have noted, this skirt has a lot going on, and it is very long. Too long for the going out look I rented it for. I ended up wearing it to work with a simple black top (not the one shown, haha) and worried a bit about the slit. I think it's best as an out-to-dinner item, not a going out item.

Eye-catching top
This top is gorgeous but I had a hard time making it work. I tried the medium and it was too big. The small fit better but I felt squeezed by the end of happy hour. Maybe it didn't help that the only bottom I could find to go with it was the skinny jeans.

I am so glad I took these on my vacation. They photographed well and the large frame balanced out my long face. Gorgeous blue color and high quality. May keep these all summer!

I loved wearing this quality piece on my tropical vacay. I am a size 4 and had to shimmy my hips a bit to get this on, but once on it fit loosely and cinched with a flattering wide belt. Very comfortable and extremely well made.

Gorgeous slinky snake print dress. Agree with others about the annoying half slip. If I owned this I would have it removed, it is not necessary. Otherwise great fitting, easy to wear and packable.

I was afraid the sheen on these leopard pants might put them over the edge into Real Housewife territory, but I went for it. They are really well made and easy to wear. They would also work with a turtleneck and flats for work, I think. I might have to keep these!

Straps not adjustable, sigh
I am 5'11 and this dress did not hang right on me because the straps are not adjustable. So beware if you're 5'9 or taller. Also beware if you're 5'4 or under because it is super long. Those of you who are about 5'6 or 5'7, give it a try because the silk is so pretty. Not sure why designers overlook the simple detail of adjustable straps. I sent this back with the tags still on.

Don't mess with my Quarantine Dress
This dress is incredibly well-designed and pretty. I am usually a size 4 and the 6 fit perfectly. No room for a bra in this dress, I used nipple covers as recommended by others and that did the trick. I am a B/C cup and the balconette bust just fit. I wore this for dinner at home and in the backyard. Maybe he was just bored, but my guy couldn't keep his eyes off me. Can't wait to go out again one day and wear another Reformation dress.

Edgy sequin shirt dress
I really liked this dress. The sequins weren't too loud and the shirt dress design is unexpected and edgy. The waist ties can be tied in the front or back. It's really comfortable and easy to wear. I got compliments while out in NYC.

Leopard Sequins !
You can't really tell in the photo, but the sequin panel has a leopard pattern with copper and black sequins that's understated and cool. Also there are two slots in the front between the panels, making it unexpectedly sexy. I wore with a cropped black sweater and booties.

DVF does it again
Can I wear all DVF for the rest of my life? Her dresses are flattering, well designed and manage to be appropriate for work and dinner etc. This one is no exception, plus easy to wear and super stylish. The small fit perfectly. I wasn't sure I would like the crepe fabric but it is just thick enough with an interesting texture.

DVF 4 EVR
I just never get tired of DVF. I'm 5'11 and I felt like the size 4 was made for me, fell to my ankle in flats. The snake print is gorgeous and the silk jersey perfection as always. Sometimes I wear a 6 in DVF so this may run big compared to other DVF styles. I wore for a date, on vacation, and plan keeping it for some work social events. Maybe I won't ever send it back...

Summer Work Wear
This is a simple sheath in a lightweight fabric, really best for summer days or warm climates. I wore it in spring with a cardigan. The fabric wrinkles after a day of wear as you can see in the photo. It is a basic, work appropriate dress enlivened by a delicate animal print in lavender and black, which is hard to fully appreciate in photos. I am a 4 hourglass and I often size up to a 6 for DVF, but in this case I think a 4 would have been better as the 6 was loose.

Lovely fabric and pattern, boxy cut
I love animal print and I was excited to try this leopard blazer! The print and fabric is quality, but the boxy cut made me look about 3 times wider than I really am. I'm tall and the bottom of the blazer hit me at the widest part of my hips, furthering the unflattering effect. Wore once and returned.

Stylish & Conservative
I loved wearing this well made and well designed dress. I wore it to an interview, a conference, on 2 flights, and not done yet. Travels well. Pretty small in the chest and emphasizes an hourglass shape. A winner for me!

Conservative Dress with an Edge
It can be hard to find clothes that are both conservative and stylish, but this dress checks both boxes. In addition, it is very warm, making it a great choice for winter work events. I am a size 4 hourglass and it was a full size large on me. I wore it anyway, twice, and it is so well designed that I felt pretty even though it was quite loose in the waist and hips. If you are straight or hourglass I suggest sizing down. A great dress and I will rent again in a smaller size!

These Are My Happy Pants
OMG, these pants! So comfy, flattering and stylish. I could live in these pants. Warm, stretchy, clean and easy side zip, pockets. I wore the 6 which was a tad loose, and waistband was lower, but that worked for me since it made them longer on my leg. Thank you, RTR, for bringing us cool clothes like this. More please! In the meantime no way are these going back ...

A different spin on the DvF wrap
The buttons on the torso of this wrap dress give it a different look and make it easier to manage in professional settings. To those who claim this is cotton, please note it is 100% silk jersey and feels great. This dress has a way of emphasizing your curves and therefore may be more flattering for straight figures as opposed to hourglass like me. Even though it wasn't super flattering on me and more of a mini-dress than I like, I wore it 3 times, to work, a conference, and dinner.

Easy to Wear
Who knew that a sequined dress could be so warm and stretchy and just easy to wear? Based on reviewers' comments I guessed correctly that I was between and S and M, went with the M which was a little loose in the waist at times but no trouble dancing all night. Colors are muted, as noted by others.

Nice quality but too boxy
I am 5'11 and this dress was not flattering with flat boots. It was a little better with healed boots, but despite being cut wide the wool knit clung to my tights. Maybe bare legs or slicker tights? On the plus side, quality soft knit and nice colors. Wore to work but didn't feel particularly special.

Sweater Dress Perfection
I love sweater dresses for work in the winter and this is my favorite of all time. I wore this on a transatlantic flight and went straight from the airport to my conference to give a presentation, and felt perfectly comfortable, warm and stylish. I usually wear a small but went with the medium so it would be less body con and it was perfect.

Beautifully made but not flattering
The quality, fabric and colors are gorgeous, so I was sad that this did not work for me. Even with adjustable straps, this did not fit my long torso. I dealt with that by trying it strapless, but it just wasn't flattering. I'm 5'11 and size 4 or 6, but the cut emphasized my wide hips and hid my small waist and rib cage. It is so comfortable and pretty, I hope some one else can rock it!
