True to size
I rented the XL for this thinking that I should size up and it was too big for me. I think this runs more true to size. Colors are more muted IRL than in pictures.

It was a bit snug and made me feel self-conscious in the chest area.

Too heavy
These earrings are really cute but they're made of metal and are super heavy. I couldn't wear it for more than a few mins before my ears started hurting.

Gorgeous, but ran a little big
I loved dress and wanted to wear it, but it was loose on top (or I am not busty enough), and the length hit at a weird place for me. It's really pretty though!

Wore these with the Berry sheath I rented and it paired well. Very understated yet elegant.

Got a lot of compliments!
I rented this for a fundraising gala that was Kentucky Derby-themed. It was comfortable for a long night and I got a lot of compliments! Wore them with nude pumps and it looked great!

Too much cleavage
This dress fit great but, like others said, cut a little low on the neckline. Didn't feel like I could wear it for work.

Wonderfully versatile!
Wore this dress several times to several different occasions. Easy to dress up with heels and the right jewelry, or pair with a blazer for work. I also wore it with a denim jacket and sandals for a more casual look. Might rent it again and buy it next time.

Cute but not for me.
This dress was the right size but the "waist" hit me at the wrong place. The skirt material is also stiffer than I thought it was, so it didn't hang on me the way I want.

Cute bag, not good for commuter.
This bag was a little smaller than I thought it would be. Took it to work a few times, but it doesn't have the space to carry everything I carry back and forth.

Great, versatile bag
I love this bag! It has the space for everything I need to carry day-to-day, yet it remains light. The berry color is great for winter. Plan to keep this for a while as my everyday purse.

Great, comfy dress!
This dress was very comfy. I paired it with heavy tights and black knee high boots because the weather was in the teens, otherwise it would go well with flats or athletic shoes for a more dressed down look in warmer weather.

Not the right size for me
I sized up because I usually need to with coats that I want to wear with thicker sweaters, but my normal size would have been fine and given me the room I needed.

Cute, but runs large.
I ordered the L, but it was too big for me. It's very cute and cozy though, so I will try to get it in a M in a future shipment.

Earrings were larger than I thought they'd be. Also, I somehow missed the fact that they were clip ons. didn't end up wearing it.

Great dress, but opted not to wear it.
The fit was okay EXCEPT for the cleavage being a little lower than I expected.

Perfect dress for my bridal shower!
I loved this dress so much. It was fun and flirty, and very forgiving. Got lots of compliments at my wedding shower. Will definitely rent this again!

Great dress, ran small.
This dress was super cute! I would have worn it, but sizes ran a little small and the size 12 was just a bit snug.

Got a compliment from the bride!
Like the other reviews, this dress was great! I was a little concerned that the sequins would be a little too much, but it turned out to be just right for an evening wedding. By the end of the night, I even got a compliment from the bride! Paired it with a pair of satin black heels and a simple black leather clutch. The dress is definitely the star of the show so I kept the jewelry at a minimum. The only potential down side to this dress is the neckline - either have lots of fashion tape on hand or be comfortable showing off the girls a little bit. This was my first time renting with RTR and I can't wait for the next occasion to do it again.
