Soft, pretty color, nothing outstanding
I never figured out a good way to style the neckline of this sweater, but liked that it was comfortable and a beautiful color. It was definitely oversized, would suggest sizing down 1-2 sizes as a result. It wasn't particularly flattering on me but was fine to throw on in cooler weather. Wouldn't rent again.

Bought, very flattering for small chest sizes
This dress was extremely flattering to my body type. The draping was beautiful, I am a 34A and the draping made both my chest and tummy look shapely. The asymmetrical hemline added interest and the dress was comfortable to wear. Definitely is a versatile piece and I look forward to wearing it for different occasions, as I ended up buying this dress from a reseller to add to my wardrobe (I loved it so much I couldn't wait for RTR's price to drop to buy it here!).

Flowy, understated date dress
This dress would be fine for a couple wears, not one I'd buy though. Good quality but barely long enough for me to feel ok about it. Longer piece of fabric off the right hip gives the dress good motion and is attention-getting. I didn't like the neckline as much as I thought I would. Finally, watch out for the buttons at the neck - maybe only button one of them (unlikely it would be noticed) or have someone help you button and unbutton them. When buttoning them myself, somehow the buttons and buttonholes got extremely twisted up and it took 10 minutes for my SO to get the three of them unbuttoned so I wasn't trapped in the dress anymore.

Asymmetric Drape Dress

Didn't wear, too low cut and flashy for me
I didn't wear this as I was worried about the front falling open. (I am a 34A for reference) I could have pinned or taped it maybe, but also it felt too big in other places and didn't lay right on my body. I also thought it was too look-at-me stylewise for my personal comfort level. Returned unworn.

Soft, beautiful pink sweater
This was so soft and flattering, and not at all itchy. The sleeves were fun, though a wee bit short on me but that was not noticeable to others. I usually wear size 4 and am a 34A, the XS was the right size for me in this sweater. I suppose if I wanted it baggier I could have ordered the small, but I liked the more fitted look of the XS. This was long enough to work with pants, jeans and leggings for me. Would rent again.

Basic, polished sweater
You get what you see with this sweater - decent quality, fits true to size. I felt neutral about it, but it was a decent choice for a date and daytime wear. Probably wouldn't rent again because it wasn't anything really special.

Flattering, modest cut
This is a solid, basic dress. Liked the color and cut, the ruffles add some feminine intrigue. No issues with length. Not my favorite dress from RTR, but still worth the rent for the right occasion.

Conservative work/date dress
Conservative, flattering, well made. Zipping up unassisted worked for me by unzipping it to just at the top of the ruching, pulling it on over my head, and zipping it up the rest of the way from there. Unzipping wasn't an issue for me at all.

Classy, well made
Nice fabric, lined. I didn't find the sleeves too puffy, but it took some work to get the ties on the sleeves the way I wanted them (a bow with no trailing ends is what worked best for me). Even then one did come untied during the evening. Barely long enough for me (I have long legs). I usually wear a 4 (130lb, 5'7"), ordered a 6 based on other reviews. The 6 fit great, though I imagine the 4 would have worked too.

Flattering deep green sweater
Yes, it doesn't fit off the shoulder like the photo. But I loved it anyway. The boatneck neckline looked great on me, and I liked the hemline because it was long enough to cover/flatter problem areas. The deep green color brought out my green eyes and reddish hair. (I think in my photo the color looks brown but it's actually green) Considering buying.

Beautiful color and flattering
As-is, the sheer sleeves and back of this top were way too revealing for my comfort level. However, once I put a long-sleeved black top under it, I felt great wearing this. (could be work-appropriate if you put a long-sleeved layer under it like I did) It is form-fitting, and even with the extra layer underneath it was still flattering on me. Great color and loved the ruching on the front.

Too low cut
This was way too low cut for me (130lb, 34B chest). Even if I would have worn a cami, the rest of the dress wasn't amazing enough for me to choose to wear it anywhere. I sent it back unworn.

Not for small chested gals
The ruching around the bust wasn't right on me, it gaped and wouldn't lay right despite being form-fitting elsewhere. I'm 130lb and a 34B though, maybe it is cut for larger chested women? Anyway, not recommended for anyone with my size profile - I sent it back unworn.

Quality Work Dress
Wore this to meet a new client and to a funeral. Good length and fabric. The cut was a bit boxy for me but I had to size up to a 10 as that was all that was available. It still worked, but I wonder if an 8 or even a 6 would have been more flattering. The chest in particular was roomy and I'm a nursing mom (though still only a 36C). I also thought the neckline/shoulderline looked a bit odd (bulky?) but addressed this by making sure my long hair lay in front of it.

Liner shows on bottom hem, zipper issues
Returned this. The liner extended about an inch past the bottom hem and it was impossible to zip up. For some reason all my curves and bumps appeared shadowy due to how the liner and top layer interacted.

Decent dress
I ended up returning this because the colors didn't look great on me (white doesn't look the best with my pale skin I guess). The cut was fine and the tie hides your belly. I wasn't a big fan of the fabric itself but it seemed like decent quality. Would be good for someone with different skin/hair tones.

Quality, classy, roomy
Really liked this bag, I used it for a variety of events and due to the color it matches about anything. It was deep so would fit a small laptop easily, but also has a small zipped pocket for keys, etc.

Colorful, classy, versatile
This was a stylish pick for both a wedding and outdoor BBQ. It was fancy enough for a wedding yet still worked for an outdoor party. It was lightweight and photogenic, and a good cut for my pear shape. Only issue was the hem was slightly coming out but it wasn't noticeable to anyone except me. I felt great in this dress.

Flattering, versatile, modest, quality dress
One of my favorite rentals so far. Cut was flattering to my mom-figure, it flared at the right place to hide belly pooch. The skirt had good motion but was long enough for modesty. There was more room in the top for bustier women, I am 38C and the top of the dress would ride up a bit and become slightly baggy in the bust as I moved around in it. This could be worn for work, vacation, date, and many other occasions due to the more modest design and fun pattern. If you are breastfeeding, note you will need to take the dress off almost entirely to feed, which may be a con to some women. Would recommend this dress to others, I really enjoyed wearing it and found myself reaching for it for multiple types of events while I had it.

Not right for this mom bod
Dress was in good condition, but was a tad short on me and wasn't very flattering in the midsection. There were some ripples in the fabric above the bust, so it didn't seem to fit my body correctly there either. Finally, the leather detailing wasn't really my style. I did size up to a 10 which was a good call per others' comments. Sent back without wearing.

Spectacular Anniversary Party Dress
This was my backup dress for our tenth anniversary party, but I liked it much better so wore it instead. The fabric was pretty and the gold accents made it look special. I liked that the cut was modest and had good motion when I walked or danced. I was worried that the hemline would be too short in the front but it was just right for me - I have longer legs and it still hit slightly above the knees. I was nine months postpartum when I wore it so still had some pregnancy belly going on, but this dress covered it well and looked quite flattering on me. If you happen to be breastfeeding, you will need to completely unzip to feed your child, which you will likely need someone else to help with as the zipper goes all the way up the back to the base of the neck. The only thing I didn't like was the black patch of fabric over the upper back, but it was mostly covered by my longer hair. Lastly, consider sizing up if you can!

Didn't wear this
The medium was too small, but the large fit fine. It was quite heavy and I didn't care for the fabric personally - it had a matte finish and seemed more like material for retro drapes instead of the "runway". It also felt a bit revealing for my personal style. Ended up wearing my backup instead.
