Runs VERY SMALL! Not for large busted women!
I wasn’t able to wear this gorgeous dress because it runs at LEAST one size small, and the bust… WOW! The bust runs TINY. To fully pain the best picture possible, I am a cancer patient who had a double mastectomy. I have skin expanders in place that are at least half the size my former breasts (36D) were. It was STILL tight in the chest, so I have no idea how anyone wears this! When a cancer patient with hardly any breasts can’t wear it, you know it runs SMALL! However, it was also too small in the waist. I ordered a size 14, and I wear a 14 at stores like White House Black Market and any of the Nordstrom house labels and have room to spare at this size. I’m almost in a 12 at WHBM. This dress in a 14 fits more like very tight 12 or even a 10. If I had ordered the 16, it may not have even fit me. I will definitely revisit this gorgeous outfit when I get to my weight loss goal, because it’s absolutely gorgeous, but when I get to a size 10… I’ll order the 12 or 14!

So pretty but runs small!
I wasn’t able to wear this gorgeous jumpsuit because it runs a good one size small. I ordered a 14, and I wear a 14 at stores like White House Black Market and any of the Nordstrom house labels. This 14 fits more like a tight 12 or a roomy 10. If I had ordered the 16, it would have fit me. I had suspected it might run small, but the 16 was not available on the dates for my events. I will definitely revisit this gorgeous outfit when I get to my weight loss goal, because it’s very pretty and well constructed. When I’m a size 8, it’ll be a showstopper!

Perfect for Senior Pictures!
My 17-year-old daughter, who considers anything fancier than joggers to be formalwear, has given me absolute HELL about wearing something "nice" as one of her outfits for senior photos. She hates dresses. Hates dressing up. Hates anything girly. She wanted a "pantsuit" and showed me a photo of a hideous thing suitable for a 48-year-old woman working at an accounting firm. No. Just no. So I found this. She hates EVERYTHING I pick... but she loved this! Dramatic but doesn't show cleavage. Loose enough to suit her but fitted enough to look nice. Very sturdy. Has the feel of built-in shapewear. So incredibly flattering. Comfortable. Stylish. She looked amazing. She hated the Cole Haan pumps I had her borrow from me, and she went back into her Vans for the next outfit change, but this was a stylish, flattering, dramatic, comfortable formal outfit that made everyone happy for once!

SO cute but runs small!
I got this just to wear on a vacation. SO super cute, if I could have gotten it zipped up all the way, but it wasn't even close. Women's sizing is so off that it's hard to know whether something is going to fit. I can wear a 12 in most things, a 10 in others, and I need a 14 in still other sizes... it's crazy! I would say that judging by how this was not even CLOSE to zipping all the way up.... that you might want to size up in this one. I could have worn a 14 in this.

A perfect snazzy clutch!
I rented this for my 30-year high school reunion, and it was perfect! Snazzy and eye-catching, on trend, and can hold what you have to have on you (ID, money, lipstick, compact, etc.) but is small enough to look right for a party or formal occasion. I love it so much I keep scouring Poshmark for one to call my own. Great rental, super cute!

Loved them so much... I bought them!
Adored these and wore them multiple times during my 7-day rental! They are large and flashy, a perfect statement piece... but please trust me, they are NOT heavy! The reviews saying that they are heavy must be from people not accustomed to wearing earrings, because one of the amazing traits of these earrings is that they are big and bold but feel like NOTHING on! I loved them so much that after sending them back to RTR, I went to the Kendra Scott website and bought my own!

Striking, but runs small on a bigger girl
Barely fit me, and not well even then. But it's so pretty that I made it work! Just be aware that it's definitely for a smaller wrist.

So Comfy and Flattering, I'm Looking to Buy My Own!
I rented this to wear out for a nice Tex-Mex dinner with friends in Dallas. I am a bigger girl who wears a 12-14 depending on brand. Large breasted, heavy arms, decent legs, plenty of booty, but sadly bereft of hips, which gives me a thicker waist. This outfit flattered everything I like and hid or improved everything I don't like! Super stretchy, VERY comfortable, attractive neckline without showing too much cleavage, not too short, precious ruffles but not too cutesy for my age (48), just absolutely DARLING and so flattering! Fine in the summer heat of Texas in September. I'm going to look online and try to buy one just like it, I loved it so much! The loss of a star is because of evidence of wear. The item (a size XL) arrived with a small, orangey-red stain about the size of a nickel. I contacted RTR via both email and Instagram and never heard back from them either time. I imagine it's on there for good. Luckily, with that pattern... nobody is going to notice it. Also, it's starting to show some evidence of wear. The navy is getting lighter, the fabric doesn't look as crisp and fresh as it does brand new. So that's something to be aware of. This was my reduced-price second style, so I think I paid $30 for the 8-day rental, which was worth it to wear just once because I felt so cute in it. But I wouldn't pay that or more for just four days.

Runs very, VERY small!
I'm usually a 12-14, where a 14 tends to be a bit large everywhere but the bust. I couldn't even get this past my hips! I would say this would fit a size 10 or small 12.

Absolutely gorgeous and so flattering, just small in the bust! I will rent it again!
I rented this dress to wear to the Kentucky Derby, and I was so excited when it arrived. It's absolutely stunning in person, just as pretty as the photo. I was super bummed when I couldn't wear it because it was too tight in the bust. I have a 36D bra size, and it just didn't look appropriate... (my cups runneth over in this dress!) However, I'm steadily losing weight, so I'll absolutely try this beautiful outfit again once I get down a few sizes. Very flattering. Makes your waist look itty bitty, which is always a bonus!
