Wore it three times!
What a comfortable and easy to wear dress! I could have sized down to medium but it wasn't available. The large fit fine though. The medium would have been more flattering. It's a bit time consuming getting in and out of this dress because there are so many buttons to undo but I really enjoyed wearing this. I did add a safety pin to the middle of the skirt because the slit goes all the way up and a gust of wind would have exposed my crotch without it.

Elegant casual dress
Loved the print and material of this dress so much. The dress isn't forgiving if you have a bit of a belly but some shapewear helped conceal most of the issue. I'm short and the length came to mid calf. I don't know if that's where it's supposed to hit but I didn't mind. I felt like it made me look taller and slimmer. Very simple shape but interesting. I would rent again!

Summer wedding guest dress!
Rented this for an outdoor summer wedding and it made the bride happy. It's a beautiful and comfortable wrap dress. The material is light and breezy. It has a painterly effect and is stunning. Felt like I was wearing art. Paired it with blue heels but light pink, bright pink, purple, green all work too for accessories.

Great dress for dinner in the city
Felt very comfortable and stylish wearing this wrap dress to dinner. I pinned the top for a bit more coverage but I would say it runs true to size.

Love this dress!!!
I'm obsessed with this dress. Tanya Taylor is one of my fave designers now thanks to RTR. This pink is such a pretty shade and the floral design felt so fun. The dress is very flirty and ladylike all at once. I pinned the top for more modesty but if you can go braless I would recommend it! No need for a camisole underneath, just wrap tight tight tight and pin if needed.

Beautiful wrap dress for vacation!
I loved wearing this long flowy wrap dress on my vacation. I did need to pin the top a little to show less cleavage but the overall length was fine for me even at only 5'1". The material is thicker than expected but still appropriate for a hot Summer day. It helps keep the dress in place even on a windy day.

Odd proportions.
I wasn't able to wear this at all. The dress runs large and true to size at the same time. The top is massive and I'm already kinda busty but the skirt runs more true to size.

Perfect floral dress for vacation photos
Rented this beautiful emerald floral dress for a weekend getaway and it fit the woodsy and garden vibes of the country setting we were visiting perfectly. I love how it photographs and I even got a compliment from a stranger on my way to the restroom. It's super low cut, so be aware of that. I was able to very carefully pin it closed a little. If you're able to go braless then I would recommend that and just go for it.

Obsessed with this dress
I think this dress is so flattering and the fit was perfect. Usually I have to pin low cut dresses especially as I have a short waist but I didn't need to with this one. The fit was just right. The buttons do come undone so I had to pin the ones by my waist and it was fine. I wore this a few times and felt beautiful. The material is a little itchy but I didn't mind.

Runs big and is a big bore too
This isn't a true wrap dress. I wasn't expecting a showstopper because it looks so simple in the photos but I wasn't expecting it to be as boring as it was. I think that's because it runs so big that it wasn't flattering on and wrap dresses are typically very flattering on me. It's a thicker material and kinda itchy. I'm between an 8/10 and I should have gotten a 6. Dull dull dull!

Skirt is interesting but top looks better under a jacket
I dunno about this one. It just didn't work for me. The skirt was flattering but the top was too big and didn't fit right despite trying multiple bras with it. Ultimately I wore it with a cropped leather jacket which fixed the large gaping top issue but no one complimented it which was a first for a rent the runway outfit.

Can't go wrong with DVF wrap dresses
If you have curves then I think you'll love this dress. It does run small in my opinion. I'm between 8/10 but they didn't have the 10 so I went with the 8. It was wearable but tighter than I would prefer. I pinned the cleavage a little so it wasn't too low. The drape was gorgeous. It felt slimming and very flattering. I was happy with the cheerful color. The print isn't my favorite. That's my issue with a lot of DVF dresses. But it's so flattering and easy to wear that I keep getting them!

Obsessed with this dress
If you're in between sizes then I would suggest sizing down. I'm between an 8-10 and m-L and opted for the 3 but next time I rent this dress I will try the 2. The 3 still looked awesome. It's one of those dresses that would look great on anyone. I'm very short and I stay away from maxi dresses or dresses with tiered ruffles and long sleeve dresses and somehow this dress is my favorite I've ever rented. It's so special. I got compliments all day. The material is itchy but I didn't mind it. If you're sensitive to that then skip.

Forgiving pattern and ruching
I'm between an 8 and 10 and I'm happy I went with the 8 because it fit great. The material is thick which is nice when wearing something tight. The ruffles and ruching made it interesting and I felt comfortable even though I rarely like to wear form fitting clothing.

Comfortable and feminine dress
Runs a little big in my opinion, but I cinched the waist with a skinny belt and that did the trick. Was very comfortable to wear during the day and would look sweet on a casual date. It has a soft, romantic vibe to it in a pretty shade of rosy blush. Would rent again maybe in a smaller size.

Not flattering on my body type so didn't wear
It's a cute dress but just felt a bit too girly and juvenile. It also runs a bit large in my opinion so I didn't wear it

Cute dress but ordered a size too big
I would maybe try renting this dress again in a smaller size. Reformation usually runs small but I overcompensated. I didn't end up wearing this time but maybe in the fall I will give it another try.

Not wearable as is but with adjusting it's cute
So many reviewers complained about the gaping neckline and it's no joke. I have a short torso so it was not wearable until I used a rubber band around the top of the zipper. That helped shorten the top and it fit great after that. It was cute but I doubt I would rent again.

Perfect red dress for everyday wear
I loved wearing this dress. It was very comfortable and a great shade of red. It could go from day to night because the fabric has a bit of sheen to it. The length was perfect for me and I'm very short. I felt happy wearing it and would definitely wear again.

Flirty and twirly little dress, but very low cut
Loved the color of this dress. It's a mini and very twirly, so don't wear on windy days. It's also very low cut so you'll need a bra that works with it. I found it to be fairly comfortable to wear but the sleeves were slightly loose on me because I have a short waist. I was adjusting the sleeves to keep my bra straps covered. I could have saved myself trouble by pinning or using double sided tape maybe. I would rent again. I wore daytime to a dance recital and got compliments.

Beautiful printed dress for everyday!
Despite getting a size too large, the dress still looked great and was very comfortable and flattering. I'm always on the cusp of medium/large and I definitely plan to rent this again in a medium. I'm very short but curvy and the tie at the waist was super flattering and helped make it fit great even though it was big. I just pinned the top so it didn't gape and show too much. The length was perfect for every day wear and hit me right at the knees. It had a slimming effect and the green print was really pretty with my olive skin tone. I would consider buying this if the medium looks even better.
