Cozy oversized sweater
This sweater is super cozy and not itchy. I do find hatch sizing very weird. Pre-pregnancy I am a definite size 6 and I am 33 weeks pregnant and not small and wore the size 0 comfortably. It was a bit short on the arms but I don't think I would have wanted any more bulk or would have looked huge. I found myself wearing it a lot and got a lot of complements.

Cozy winter coat
This was surprisingly cozy! I would advise to size down. I'm normally a 6 and at 27 weeks (with my second so I'm big!) the size 1 fit over my bump well.

Run Large
I ordered my pre-pregnancy size and at 27 weeks with my second found these still ran large. They got baggy pretty quickly and I found the elastic itchy. I liked the deep color but for the fit didn't love them.

Date/Work Sexy
Very flattering. I'm between a 4 and a 6 and the 6 was work appropriate and translated well to a date night. Subtly sexy and high quality.

Gorgeous Print and Fabric
Beautiful dress and fabric. Size down. Was long on me (at 5'5" this was almost floor length). A lot of commenters are saying this is navy not black, if it is it is a very dark navy. I actually thought this would be too dressy for the cocktail attire wedding I was invited too. Very flattering.

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"

Gorgeous dress, tight in the hips
Gorgeous fabric and bright print. Very tighter in the hips, so if you have hips size up. I'm usually a size 4 (US) and the size 8 (UK) was too small.

Adds bulk around waist
Very petty colors, but the fit was not flattering. I couldn't tell if I should wear it over my hips or waist and either way it added extra bulk (I have bigger hips and a smaller waist).

Printed Button Front Skirt

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4

Great Colors, No Stretch
Couldn't even zip this up over my boobs (even without s bra) although it fit well in the waist so I'm not sure it would be worth sizing up. Gorgeous colors and fabric though!

Bright summer dress
Really liked this dress. Definitely size down, I'm a 4-6 in dress size and the small was perfect. It's not a tight fit, but is still very flattering. You do need a backless bra for this as the tie back doesn't allow for any bra. Light weight and great for summer.

Easy to wear, flattering pant
I rented these and wore them three times over the week I had them. They are light enough to be comfortable in the summer and the weight and the pattern set them apart. Very flattering. I'm usually a size 6 in pants and 4-6 in dresses and the 1 fit well.

Easy, flattering and versatile
Great dress that can be dressed up or down. The chest slit does go a bit far down depending on the size of your bust (I am nursing so it was a bit tight in the 4, the 6 may have been better, although like most madewell it runs a little big). Gorgeous color and cut. My husband kept telling me I should buy it!

Bright summer dress
I am glad I followed the other reviews and sized up... I am usually between a 4 and a 6 (more often a 4) and I definitely needed the 6 in this one ( might have been happier in an 8 but that wasn't an option!). It fits tight through the hips and ended up being pretty flattering, but has no give. The fabric is a heavier textured cotton so it worked well for as a cocktail dress for an evening wedding. The colors are bright and beautiful. A fun dress to wear for one night!

Classic well fitted dress
Loved this dress, very flattering cut and comfortable material. Really pretty blue and a nice dress if you aren't sure how dressy the event is as I think it can go either way. This dress runs on the bigger side I am usually between a 4 and a 6 but the 4 was out of stock so I rented a 2 and a 6. While the 4 might have been a little more comfortable (it felt a little tight around the neck), the 2 was super flattering and I had no problem getting into it!

Perfect "Bond Girl" Bracelet
I rented this to go with the Ben-Amun gold deco crystal teardrops for a black tie Bond themed night out. It went perfectly -- and while a little large and costumey for me on a normal basis, it really completed the outfit.

These are a little costumey for me -- large and make a statement -- but they were perfect for the Bond themed black tie event I was attending. They are very light and comfortable and completed the outfit.

Pretty but did not stand out
These were not as vivid as I had imagined and looked a little less nice in person. I still wore them and I think they complimented my dress well -- but I just didn't love them or felt like they really stood out.

Perfect dress for a fall wedding
This is one of those dresses that is so hard to send back... It is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are more muted in person, but still very deep and rich, making it a great fall or winter wedding dress. The material is quite thick as well. It fit true to size and I was worried it might be too shift like for my pear shape, but I thought it was very flattering and got lots of compliments! One of my favorite rentals yet!!

Beautiful spring dress
Gorgous dress. The material is very light and flowy and super comfortable. The waist does not have any give -- but I think that it gives the dress a nice shape. I was able to wear a normal bra without any worry about it showing. I wore the regular length and at 5'5'' wore very low heels (like 1.5 inches) and my shoes just peeked out the bottom. Great color and feel for a spring/summer event.

Runs very large
This was my back up dress and I didn't wear it. I am usually between a 4 and a 6 -- the 4 in this dress was huge on me. I imagine I would need a 2 or even a 0. It is very plain, but a beautiful color and material.

Beautiful dress, great color
This was my back up so I didn't end up wearing it. Following others advice I sized up (I'm between a 4 and a 6 and got the 6) which was perfect. Will definitely order again in the future.

Great for multiple events!
My original bag was unavailable so this is what the RTR staff replaced it with -- and it was probably better then the one I had picked out. Gorgeous and understated enough that I used it for multiple wedding events in one weekend. Big enough for my phone, lipstick and cards.

Gorgeous black tie dress!
This was a great dress that is definitely black tie appropriate (and is not long!). Some notes: I loved the sequins, they made it fun and dressy, but I had some serious painful irritation on my arms by the end of the night. Also I am usually between a 4 and a 6 and the 6 was definitely more comfortable.

Gorgeous sparkly earrings that are the perfect balance to a bigger necklace. I have very small ears and picking out statement earrings that work for me can be hard... These are light and comfortable and a good fit for those of us with smaller ears!

Gorgeous holiday dress!
This is a really beautiful party dress. The fabric is heavier and has a really pretty shine to it which makes it easy to dress up (I wore this to a black tie party). The shape has emphasizes your natural waist, I am between a 4 and a 6 and found the 4 to be more flattering (though the 6 would have been just fine).

Great Party Dress!
This is a great party dress -- feels celebratory and makes you feel great. The colors are great in person -- bright but not loud, really fun. The mesh back and stretch to the fabric makes it tight, but really flattering. I have a curvy bottom and it was very flattering and was true to size.

Gorgeous, comfortable, statement jewelry
I wish I had been able to wear these (they were a bonus in my package, and did not really work for the event I was going to). They were really pretty and very comfortable, but definitely make a statement! I have pretty small ears so bigger earrings often don't look good on me, but that wasn't the case with these.

Great Quality - Tight on Top
I didn't actually end up wearing this dress (to be fair the second size in the dress I requested was unavailable so this was my back-up dress to begin with). The material is heavy and great quality and the color is prettier and more vibrant in person. I am a 4/6 in dress size, and just found the small way too tight on top (around my neck and arms). The shape is great, and I think in a medium it might have been perfect.

This was much too short -- in a not flattering way. I did't end up wearing to for that reason. I did like the color and material!

This dress is so flattering, the fabric pops and is perfect for a cocktail or formal occasion.
I LOVED this dress and did not want to send this dress back (my fiance kept telling me I should buy it and I kept breaking it to him that it is $475). It is perfect for small waisted girls as it fits tight on top and then the bottom goes out, creating a really pretty silhouette. The fabric is really thick enough that it feels perfect for a winter party, without being bulky. I was afraid it would look just like another black cocktail dress, but the blue fabric has a bit of sparkle to it that makes it really pop and the silhouette makes it feel very party ready. The dress I got was brand new (I cut the tags off) and fit true to size.

Didn't end up wearing it -- but a great fun holiday dress
This dress is sparkly in a very classy formal sort of way (not covered in sequins, just the right amount of sparkle). I ordered both the 6 and the 4 and both fit well -- the dress has a bit of stretch. I would have gone up an worn the six for a little extra room. I actually ended up wearing my back up dress as I thought this was not as flattering over the hips on me.
