Snazzy unique work dress
Yes there is this bunching at the waist but I love this silhouette. It's super comfortable but also surprisingly flattering. Lots of compliments and people at work are noticing all the fun dresses I wear. I refer to RTR as my dress library. Still debating whether I should just buy this. I'm also tall so ladies who are shorter may find this dress a bit less flattering.

Made boo boo picking this in my haste to get a DVF
Bold, vibrant colors made me pick this before it got snatched up but in my haste I didn't swipe the model picture to assess the side view. It clings to every unforgiving part of you. Made for hour glass ladies. Not for the flat chested and short torso'd (like me). The waist ties are super long so you have to wrap a few times around the waist which made my girth even bigger. Boooooo! 2 stars because the pattern and colors rock.

Fun print, love this DvF dress!
Most compliments ever received on an RTR dress. I noticed after I came back from the UPS store, it was discounted to a reasonable price and I hit my head cause I would've bought it! Now I stalk the DvF website hoping it will go on sale as this dress is so difficult to rent on RTR (It's that awesome!)

Lightweight, perfect for spring and work appropriate
Was roomy around the waist and I'm typically in between a size 8 and 10. Although it isn't the most unique dress, I loved it for the comfort, slimming effect and bold colors. Wouldn't pay $800 for it but would definitely rent again.

RTR sizing incorrect, go down 2 sizes
Beautiful pattern. Nice material. Perfect for work. RTR says this dress is in Italian sizing but if you google size conversion charts, it says Italian size 42 = size 8 US. So that's what I ordered and am pretty happy I did.

Too big, RTR has the wrong recommended sizing
This designer is French and in researching size conversions I should have gotten a 38 or 40. Considering the 42 was huge, I think I will try the 38. The fabric is beautiful and I was so excited to get this dress so I'm hoping the 2nd time around will be better.
Lace Trim Floral Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8

Fun pattern and nice fabric, but weird neckline
The look below the chest area was great and work appropriate. The asymmetric hemline was flattering and flirty. The neckline was a disaster. The ruffle along one side had enough weight to make the neckline plunge lower. Tried fashion tape but it didn't work. Alas, wore once and returned.

Nice silky dress, but nothing special.
The dress was quite loose and to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the pattern. I found the chest area too big but I'm flat so I shouldn't have been surprised. I think this dress would be stunner on someone who is more well endowed.

Abstract Midi Dress

Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 36B
Nice material, runs large, difficult to get on.
Beautiful dress out of the bag. Lightweight so I was a little cold. Little snap buttons on the side made it challenging to put on. I ended up snapping the buttons one handed. Had to wear a camisole as the neckline was low. Not my favorite rental but not the worst. Still looked nice but the dress ran large on me. Length fell an inch below my knees. (I'm 5'9)

So freakin warm. But I was a marshmallow.
NWT. I didn't care that I looked like a marshmallow. I still received compliments even though I didn't think it looked that flattering . You can tell the material is luxurious and high end. Just a fabulous jacket. So I wore it anyway for several days.

Oohed and ahhhed at!
Lots of gushing compliments at work which was wonderful. Material is fabulous. I could see how this dress could be problematic for bustier ladies. I'm practically flat and was concerned about the buttons pulling. I also have a short torso and this dress is probably more suited for an hour glass figure but I still felt beautiful in it. will likely wear multiple times before returning.

Beautiful print and fabric but billows out.
Loved the print and fabric but the tent like features made the dress quite unflattering. Long duster, tights and boots salvaged the outfit for work. I think a skinny belt would also help if long duster is not available.

Flattering dress!!! Don't want to return it!
You would think stripes would make you look bigger but this dress accents you in all the right places. Material is very forgiving and stretchy. I've tried other Shoshanna dresses where I needed to where a large but this dress wasn't constricting in any way. If you are debating sizes, I would size down. I'm between sizes but closer to an 8 than 10 and still found the medium to be quite roomy.

Great fit, feel not holding up to multiple cleanings
I really liked this suede dress and the fit was fabulous and flattering. Perfect fall dress. Felt the material was over warn and cleaned so don't think it's holding up as a long term rental.

Fabulous work dress!
Lovely fabric. Length mid calf and I'm 5'9. It is silk so as another reviewer mentioned, it can wrinkle but it wasn't a deal breaker for me at all. Wore it multiple times before sending it back!

Would be a better maternity dress
If you wear this dress without a belt, you will look like a tent, literally. A skinny belt made this outfit wearable and the print is lovely. Someone who is pregnant in their 2nd to early 3rd trimester may find this dress super cute. Ladies with large baby bumps may find there isn't enough front fabric to decently cover their thighs.

So big and unflattering!
Made me look 10 pounds heavier with all the flounce in the skirt as well. Dress was large even though I sized down. Poofy sleeves and skirt is not a good look on me.

Cute dress
Great work appropriate dress. I have broad shoulders but am small chested and I did not feel the dress restricted me in any way. If anything, it was a little loose around the waist for me but I am between sizes (8-10) and the dress was still flattering. More endowed women may find this dress problematic.

Work appropriate dress
Comfortable dress. A bit on the large size but I am usually between a size 8-10 and the dress caters more towards the 10-12 crowd. I have broad shoulders so I do not think sizing down to a medium will help in this case. I like that the length goes close to the knee and the cute bow at the neck can be strategically tied to cover cleavage if need be. Perfect fall colors but likely will not rent again.

Great work dress!
Very comfortable, flattering and simple. Received many compliments and the pop of color was perfect for summer. I would buy this dress if there wasn't a slight imperfection under the arm. It's as if there was a hole and someone patched it up and caused a pucker.

The coat is more like a thick sweater so it may not hold up in the extreme cold. However, it was perfect for California winters. I received lots of compliments on the print.

Loved the thickness of this sweater. Once you feel it, you can tell the quality of the material. This sweater was a little large so size down if you are small chested like me.

Not for apple shaped short waisted women.
Although I could fit into this dress, it was not very flattering. There were areas where it was loose and bunched and areas that were tight. It was a little to short for work as well. Not my favorite but I could see this dress on someone with an hourglass shape.

Love this coat
Love the fit and feel of this coat. Can look dressy with a dress but casual with jeans. Big enough for me to wear a sweater underneath. However, I am small chested so I could maybe see other people with larger chests having issues with the fit. Love it so much that I will likely purchase it.

I love this dress!
I felt so sophisticated and feminine in this dress. Perfect for work. The dress has no stretch but I loved the cut and how it gently lay on the body. The dress can wrinkle on transit so it might need to be pressed on arrival but i think i will try wearing this a few more times before returning it.

Lovely silk dress with a fabulous print. Would rent again but will try sizing down. Without the belt, it billows out and looks a tad frumpy.

High quality, perfect for fall
I loved this dress, but it was a little big in the chest area. It has a lot of stretch so it's very forgiving. There is a bit of flare to the skirt so those with wider hips may find it unflattering. I'll size down the next time I rent this.

I love this duster. I've worn it practically everyday. Super soft and slimming if you are on the taller side. It's warm enough to keep the chill away but likely better for west fall and winters.

Chic coat
I was hoping the coat would be a little softer, but the material is sturdy and kept me really warm. Consider sizing up if you wear this with bulky sweaters or have broad shoulders/hips. It really hugs your body. It was great for me but others may have issues with this.

Very pretty dress.
From far away, it looks like a simple dress, but when you look up close the material is high quality and the lace detailing is quite exquisite. There is no stretch to this dress but it was still very comfortable. Overall, a very pretty dress which I wore to a church wedding to be more conservative. I then changed to a fancier dress for the reception.

Super comfy, roomy coat!
Was in Chicago for a wedding and brought this coat with me. I felt like I was slipping into a blanket. The material was really luxurious. However, it's true to size at the shoulders but pretty roomy around the waist. I probably will try renting a size down the next time I want to wear this coat. (Which I definitely will do when the weather gets colder)

Beautiful material but not for women with short torsos and small chests :(
This dress is so beautiful in all the pictures, but it's not very flattering if you have a short torso and small chest. As the saying goes, it's not you (dress), it's me. Wrap dresses are probably not the best for my body type. So for the rest of you, knock yourself out with this gorgeous DVF dress.

Beautiful to look at but not when I'm not wearing it.
I wanted to like this dress and it had so much potential when I took it out of the garment bag. I already have a short torso so it was surprising to have the waist of the dress fall above my natural waist line. Because of that, the flounce of the dress was over exaggerated.
