Gorgeous but tight
I couldn't breathe! But it was so pretty. And I didn't need a bra

this dress was cute but it was oddly big in the waist. Wasn't that flattering, decided not to wear it

Love these!! Wore them many times
I was hesitant to wear these short, bold shorts (I am 43 and like but don't love my legs) but I did, and I adored them and ended up wearing them so many times they needed to be sent back to be washed but I will rent again! Very comfortable and stylish. I was surprised the 0 fit (when I ordered the 2 must not have been available, otherwise I would have chosen that instead) but it did - I am 5'2" and 110. A note about styling: Since I was wearing these to overnight camp drop off for my kids I didn't want to look too sexy and over-the-top, but these would have looked great with a black or white tank, or a button down knotted at the waist. I ended up wearing a 3/4 sleeve black linen hippie-ish top and strappy silver sandals which gave the whole outfit a 60s vibe and I though worked well.

Comfortable but not the most flattering
I rented this for a beach vacation but the weight of the fabric made it seem too dressy/elevated to wear during the day - yet it was too boxy and plain otherwise, and the armholes seemed too big/drapey. I wore it for a family dinner at home and it didn't feel particularly special. Maybe with some great tall shoes and big jewelry it would have been better, but this is not a flattering dress. I did try it with a belt but that made it way too short.

Pretty dress- but too tight in chest to wear
This is a dramatic, pretty dress but I couldn't zip it up! Because I am petite and I knew it was quite long, I got the XS. If there had been an SP I would have been better off. I do not have a big ribcage but this dress was too tight to wear.

Cute - but I couldn't wear it. Too tight in waist.
This was a cute, bright dress and I originally rented it for a week at the beach. But the XS was too tight in the waist so I exchanged it for an S. When that came, the elastic waist STILL ended up being a little too snug so I didn't wear it. I am 5'2" and am 110 so I was a little surprised. It may not have bothered everyone as much as it bothered me but I knew I was going out to eat and if it started out a little tight it would get worse later! It's a little short which was fine for me but if you are on the taller side, be aware.

Lovely color, unusual style, overall great.
This is a perfect rental - a style that I typically may not have chosen, but great to try out for fun. It was wonderful for synagogue and then a dinner party (with tights and boots - it seemed a little short with bare legs) but it would be great for work, too. You can style the bow in a bunch of different ways. I have rented this twice and worn to many occasions. The fabric is silk and very high quality but it does wrinkle so don't forget to hang it up at the end of the night!

Pretty dress; hard to wear.
This is a lovely dress that is hilariously poorly constructed. I actually got this dress by accident - but was happy when I saw it. Until I read the reviews, which are spot on. The sleeves have zero give and make it impossible to lift your arms. I wore this to a bar mitzvah in synagogue and it looked terrific - but even with the back three inches open at the top (and hidden by a jacket) I was very uncomfortable. It's not the overall sizing- as you can see from the picture the rest of it fit perfectly. A huge bummer, but glad it was just a rental! Also-- one more word of caution: It's not black!! I didn't realize until I left the house and realized I was wearing black tights, shoes, and jacket with a navy dress.

I rented it for a British theme party (it is very tweed after all) but kept it for a month because it was so fun to wear. Warm but not too heavy or hot, and added a lot of style to any outfit, everyday or evening.

Planning to wear this my son's Bar Mitzvah evening party. The 34 was pretty tight so I sized up and the 36 is just right. It's short but not too short, and the fabric makes it really special.

Gorgeous dress. A little wintry for my August event but will definitely rent it again.
Beautiful, and fit perfectly. But the navy is almost imperceptible - the dress looks black. It looked too dark (and too wintry) for my August morning event. But I will definitely rent this one again. Many DVF wraps are too long for me, but this one was perfect for me (5'-2")

I loved this dress - it's high quality with beautiful fabric. I couldn't wear this size because the straps were too long but for another event I may try the next size down because I'd love to wear this one sometime.

Too tight to wear...
This was a beautiful dress and a great color, and the style is great for work-to-evening, or a party that you don't need to be super dressy. Unfortunately it runs small - I'll size up next time. It is very fitted as is, so be prepared to wear tights or Spanx underneath to smooth everything out!

Really cute daytime dress.
I wore this to synagogue with a denim blazer. Some skin shows through the lace at the waistline so if you wear this to work or church or are at all modest, you can add a black tank or cami underneath and it solves the issue easily. I wore this on a warm February day, it is almost a year round dress and is definitely perfect for warmer weather, or for work-to-evening. I LOVE day dresses, RTR provide more like this one!

Gorgeous and a ton of compliments.
I needed a show-stopping dress and this was perfect. The 0R was not too long (I'm 5'2) but the zipper bunched a bit at the waist where all the ruching came together. For such an expensive dress I was a little surprised at that issue, but I think I'm the only one who noticed. I wore it with hot pink strappy stiletto platforms but I think you could do metallic or black too. I wish it had occurred to me to get a evening bag from RTR, but I didn't think of it until I was walking out the door and none of my own bags were quite right. Overall the dress was spectacular and I got compliments all night.

Backup dress not worn- but very pretty and fit well
I didn't wear this one because it was my backup choice, but it fit great (OR, I'm 5'2 and 105) and with heels wasn't too long. If you need something that is super dressy but you need to look modest or professional, or have to wear a regular bra, this is a great dress. I'm 42 and it looked a little too "Mother of the Bride" for me-- I was going for more of an over-the-top look which this was not. But it is very beautiful.

Great dress, very versatile.
This is a beautifully made, high quality dress. I am short so it was perfect, but it might be *too* short for some. It is versatile and could even be work appropriate with tights and booties, but you could also dress it up. Keep in mind that the neckline is pretty conservative although the length isn't.

Not quite right for me
The quality of this dress was very nice and it is beautiful. I wanted to wear it to synagogue for a bar mitzvah but it was a little long on me which gave it a dowdy effect. Even though I wear a lot of black, something about this seemed too funeral-ish. I think if I was taller and it looked better on me I would have brightened up with the right accessories.

Really cute. Can be dressed up or down.
This dress is super cute. It's very short, so it works especially well with black tights and booties. I dressed it down for a family thanksgiving dinner at home but it could work for a cocktail party too. I think it's too short for work though.

Very pretty, very dressy.
I rented it for an event that I later discovered was "dressy casual" so I returned it to switch it out for something a little less fancy. It would be great for a fancy cocktail party, wedding, dressier cocktails, etc. Fit was great and very high quality. I will rent it again!

Gorgeous and unusual
This dress is SO pretty. It was fun to wear to a daytime fundraiser (just the right level of dressy) with sandals and then to an art fair with flat boots (a little dressy, but artsy so it worked) My only word of caution: the tie belt can move around a bit so periodically check yourself (front and back) and make sure it's laying the way you want it to. I didn't and no one told me the belt had hiked up over the edge of the skirt in the back.

Couldn't wear it-- way too heavy for warm weather
This is pretty and fit well but I sent it back because it was totally the wrong fabric to wear on a hot late-spring day. The heavy brocade was beautiful though--I will rent it again in winter and plan to wear with tights and ankle boots.

Great for a night out, favorite rental so far
I was a little unsure about a shorts romper (I am 41, after all) but it felt like I was basically wearing a LBD and this ended up being my favorite rental so far. It was unexpectedly 45 degrees and raining in May, so I added a jean jacket, tights and ankle boots (though this outfit would look amazing with platform sandals). It was very flattering, and a great (but short) length for me-- at 5'2" I prefer short dresses and the right length isn't always so easy to find. This one is perfect. Can't wait to rent it again.

Cute for a meeting and errands
This is a pretty top. Normally I would never wear yellow-- it's just not my color-- but because of Unlimited I figured I'd give it a try, and it was better on me than I would have guessed. Be aware that it's a slippery material and the wrap slides around a bit. I wouldn't have worn it without a tank underneath.

cute as a sundress; didn't wear crop top
As other reviewers have noted, this is two pieces, a top and a dress. I wore just the dress, which has adjustable straps (a wonderful touch with strappy sundresses so you can adjust the amount of cleavage) and it was cute for a Sunday morning running around town, and then later with a jean jacket to a theater show. I didn't want to deal with a strapless so I just wore a black bra and I don't think the straps were noticeable. The top is weird-- it's super cute until you realize there are strange tassels hanging down from under the arms. There was no good way to tie them in the front or back. If I owned this outfit I would just cut them off! I guess for a night out this unique detail would be interesting and stylist (maybe? are tassels a thing?) but for every day they were just annoying. RTR: keep stocking lots of different sundresses-- These are great items to rent!!

Didn't end up wearing it
This is a cute dress but the beaded/embroidered part at the top is pretty heavy- I had hoped this would be a lightweight, floaty dress for vacation and it's just not. Also the front looks like a regular bra would work, but note the back- it's very cute but bra straps will show.

pretty dress, fun for vacation
This dress is fun to wear, the fabric is lovely, and it was great for going out to dinner while traveling. Lots of compliments from family. Be aware of two things (neither are deal breakers) 1) there is a big cutout/slit under one of the arms-- I just wore a black tank underneath, but if you don't, your skin will be showing 2) It took me a long time to figure out how to put this dress on! The tag is in the bag, but the way the layers and folds lie, it is a pretty confusing dress. Eventually you'll get it, but don't be surprised if it takes you 10-15 minutes!

Cute top, probably wouldn't rent again
I loved the color and pattern, but I wasn't crazy about showing off my bra straps at a dinner party so I wore a strapless bra. The top wasn't all that flattering to begin with, and with a strapless tube bra underneath it was even worse. Still, the quality of the top was nice- and it was in perfect condition with the tags still on when it arrived, and it looked cute with skinny black pants.

Couldn't wear it. Way too big and skirt needs ironing badly.
I understood from the previous reviews that I was going to need to iron this one, and they weren't kidding! It ran so big though, that I couldn't even wear it, so I never even gave the ironing a try.

I couldn't wear it. Just didn't look good on me.
I was hoping for a knockout dress because this is a great designer and is an expensive dress, but it just looked weird on me. It was too conservative in the neckline which was a weird mix with also being too short for a professional setting. Fabric and quality were nice but it just wasn't a good match.

Cute, short, but weirdly not a single compliment
This dress was cute and different. I don't shy away from color but rarely wear bold patterns especially because I'm petite. I loved that it was short-- because I am 5'2 many dresses that are *supposed* to be short are not actually short on me. The sleeves bunched up a bit in a weird way, but it was comfortable and flattering. The strangest thing though- at a party of 50 people, not a single one complimented my outfit! I thought the dress was unusual so I am wondering if the lack of comments was a negative.

Wore to synagogue, looked cute but not perfect
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is tight in the shoulders. Everywhere else it fit fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to own it because of that issue. Also the V is kind of low which is fine for night but for work (or synagogue, where I wanted to look somewhat modest) you may want a tank or cami underneath. It doesn't appear sexy at first so it was only later that I realized that taller people might me able to look right down the neck! Also the tag hangs out if you're not careful--- it was my first rental so I wasn't used to having to check for things like that (with clothes you own you already know which outfits have that tag problem) and midway through the event my friend had to come up and tuck the tag in for me--- and it is not a small tag! I forgot to take a picture but I styled it with a wide belt, big necklace, and platform sandals. Overall a cute look, and a good length for me, but I probably wouldn't rent it again.
