Gigantic bust
I got this dress as a backup for an event rental and thank god it was the back up. The bust is ENORMOUS. I am a 38 DD and this was gaping/falling off my chest when fully zipped. I honestly probably could have worn two bras with it and it still would have been inches too loose. Extremely large bust sizing made it unwearable. Maybe suitable for extremely large chested women, but definitely not for anyone small chested - I don’t think it could be pinned enough to be wearable.

Beautiful dress - very odd sizing
I have more of an hourglass figure and this dress is certainly not for hourglass shape. The top was sized as if it was a 16/18. It was literally gaping in the chest and back even with a padded strapless bra with extra added padding - for someone who has a decent sized chest, this was extremely surprising. The waist also had room but the hips were extremely tight and the fabric pulled/wrinkled across the hips. I ended up not wearing it for my event because there was no redeeming the fit on this for me. It may work for someone who is larger chested with a smaller bottom/hips but I wouldn't recommend it for truly curvy bottomed ladies.

Extremely long, baggy
RTR recommended an XL in this for me and it was dragging on the floor even with a 2 inch heeled boot on. I had to hold it up to keep from tripping when walking. The fabric was extremely heavy and seems to get even longer as the day went on. If I were to rent this again I would definitely size down to a L to see if it was any better. I am moderate height at 5' 5" so I was surprised at the length in this.

Another dress for work or day to day wear
A nice blue but definitely wrinkles extremely easily even if you sit down for a few minutes. You will need a steamer or an iron for sure with this one, especially if you want to wear it more than once. Length is appropriate for work, church, etc. it's a lovely dress that can be worn for many occasions.

Fun and sunny
I rented this pants in a 14 and sized down this time because those were way too big in the waist. The 12s were perfect and a fun addition for my vacation wardrobe. These would also be great for a shower or to wear to work. Would rent again!

Odd dress
The photos of this dress don’t really convey what it looks like in person. The bodice is extremely thick material. The yellow accents go directly across the breasts and it looks a bit odd. Additionally the skirt of this dress is similar to parachute material? The combination didn’t work for me. It also came stained on the breast so I didn’t end up wearing it. It also fits quite oddly and makes your hips look large. I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Runs quite small in the hips/butt
Did not fit over hips and butt. I am a true 16 in other brands of dresses and pants and this wouldn’t even come close to fitting. Extremely form fitting and tight if you have a shapely bum and legs beware.

Nice pattern, fit didn't hold up
I am not sure if this was just a little big or if it was very worn? The dress didn't seem to hold its shape/neckline well at all no matter how I tied it. I would try renting again but in a smaller size to see if it made a difference for me fit wise.

Comfy and stylish
I wore this dress so many times and was honestly reluctant to send it back. It was stylish, so comfortable, and while the fabric was firm-fitting it did not cling in an unflattering way. Absolutely loved this and would rent again!

Perfect for a conference!
I wore this on a recent business trip and it was comfortable, work appropriate, and a great color. The fabric was medium to thick which was nice because it didn't show lines/creases after being packed in my suitcase.

Stunning but a little low cut
This dress is extremely flattering, the material lays well but it is a little bit revealing for a professional setting. I found myself constantly adjusting to make sure I didn't have too much cleavage showing at my work event.

Odd
This dress had a very high slit and the fabric seemed odd to me. I have rented many other dresses from Toccin and this fabric was very slippery but clingy. It also fit strangely so I didn't end up wearing it out.

Lovely color and texture, ridiculous sleeves
I absolutely loved the color and texture of this sweater. It was nice and warm for winter. However the sleeve were at least six inches too long for me. I had to roll them up another full roll (which if you see how many inches the sleeve rolls are on this sweater that is ridiculous and so bulky it won't fit under a coat). It is extremely impractical to wear and I wouldn't rent again.

Perfect work dress
Wore this a few times to the office. It was super easy and comfortable. It is technically reversible, but I didn't like the darker print, so I only wore it with the lighter, gentler print since the other one was not so much my style.

Cute but a little short
This was a super cute dress I wore for hosting a friend's baby shower. It was a little short for my taste, and I am barely 5' 5" so keep in mind it will show quite a lot of leg if you are on the taller side.

Anniversary dress
Wore this to a nice dinner for our anniversary. It was a little off to me? Fine for one night but not something I wanted to buy or keep. The little snap in the bra area seemed too high for me. So keeping it snapped looked matronly and undoing it looked a like too revealing for my taste. I would've liked it to be more in between.

Gorgeous wrap dress
This was very much outside of my usual color scheme, but I have been using RTR to mix up my wardrobe so I thought why not give it a try. I can see now why everyone says a DVF wrap dress should be a staple in the closet of any woman. It was so flattering shape wise, comfortable, and the perfect length. Wore to my office multiple times and would rent again.

A little large/stretches out
True 16 and ordered the XL due to measurements. The dress and color were lovely and a fun addition for a date night on vacation. However, I felt like after wearing it for a little while it got much looser and stretched out. If I were to rent again I would probably size down.

Absolutely gorgeous print. I am a true 16 and the XL was true to size and possibly had a little bit more room due to the loose skirt and stretchy bodice. I got so many complements and loved it so much I decided to pay to keep it. Highly recommend!
