Very pretty conservative work dress
Fit tts. Requires racerback bra (or acceptance of cardigan to cover bra straps).

Slim, but not too tight. Good for work. Several compliments. Slightly big in hips.

Statement poof sleeves!
I wear an 8-10 and the MR fit great. For reference, I am also a little busty. This fit is as shown, albeit with considerably more cleavage on me. Fine for weekends, but probably not workplace appropriate if you too are busty. The sleeves are quite poofy, and the elastic that gathers them at the bottom is quite snug. I didn’t find this uncomfortable, but others might find it irritating. I would have killed for this dress when I was pregnant. I love it even though I’m not, but family members were giving me the questioning side-eye.

Beautiful, classic summer midi dress.
I wear an 8-10 and have an hourglass figure. The LR fits great. I probably wouldn’t wear this to work as the cut is a little low in front, but it’s perfect for weekend wear or day-occasion wear. Lightweight fabric, so good for warm weather. Wish I could purchase.

The waist detail is super flattering. Perfect cut for conservative work place in a bright color
The color on this one is very vibrant - very orange-red. The modest cut made it very work appropriate. Nice, lightweight material and not a bit static-y. The waist detail was great - kept it modern and prevents it from being too sack-like. Will rent again, and might buy.

Giant, but cozy
Size down one size, at the very least. It's meant to be oversized, however it fits a bit over-over sized. Nice and cozy though.

So pretty! Such a cool cut
I felt so cool wearing this one. I wish I could afford it! These days I usually wear a US size 8 and the medium fit me well. Will be perfect for spring and summer events - must rent again!

Beautiful and soft - makes my waist look tiny!
This is a beautiful dress. Super soft - length as pictured. It's still summer-weather here (95+ temps) and I'm nonetheless, comfortable. No idea if this will wear well though. The dress I received still had tags attached. I plan to monitor future reviews so that, if there's no mention of pilling, I can rent it again when the weather finally breaks (and rock it with tights and boots).

Drapes beautifully
I remember being able to wear dresses cut on the bias when I was younger (and thinner). This one has that same, flowing-but-skimming vibe, but the twists make it very forgiving of curves. In my opinion it fits true to size and accommodates a larger upper body in the chest and arms. Lovely material - not transparent. However, as it's silk and the air is dry where I live, static was unavoidable. That aside, it's a beautiful dress! I received several compliments and I will rent again to wear with boots and a long cardigan when the weather turns. Then I can do the ol' hairspray on the tights trick to avoid static.

Short in the Torso - Couldn't wear.
I wish I could have worn this, but I have a long torso and found the large to be too short in that area.

Super cute weekend wear
Comfortable and cute. Slightly big in the waist, but if I had sized down I probably would have lost length in the torso (I have a long torso and jumpsuits are often a gamble). I'll likely purchase this when that option becomes available.

True to size. High slit. Wrinkles easily.
I rented a size too big, and it fit a size too big, so I'd estimate this runs true to size. The dress is designed with an 1980s/1940s broad shoulder, so just be aware that that's definitely the look. I did not notice before renting that there is an off-center slit up the front of the skirt. On account of the slit it is probably not appropriate for a conservative work place. Light weight skirt. Good for warm weather, but wrinkles easily.

Cute pant. Not transparent. Runs slightly baggy, but that might just be because it had relaxed with previous wears.

Grosgrain ribbon belt makes it impossible to get on.
The Attached grosgrain belt is sewn on. The zipper stops just an inch or two from the waist. As a result, if you are not ruler straight, you will not be able to get it on over your head (or by stepping in). It simply doesn’t open far enough. A regrettable construction flaw as the proportions, otherwise, were true to size. The color and pattern were beautiful. Couldn’t wear 😞

Likely a very cute dress, but it was snug across my hips so I did not wear
I was headed off for a beach vacation during a heat wave and wanted to rent a loose fitting dress to bum about in. Through my unlimited subscription I rented the size small, in part because the medium was snatched up while I was making my other selections. I though, what the heck, it looks like the dress is over-sized and that a small could work (albeit with slightly less material to cinch). Nope - the hips are fitted and the garment was too snug across my size 8 middle. I might try and rent again in my real size - size medium. The cut was very pretty, minimalist, and modern.

Great casual style that, if one sizes up, works beautifully on a long torso
I rented a large in this as part of my unlimited subscription and found it to be a perfect fit (I normally wear an 8). I love a good casual jumpsuit. Regrettably, a previous renter had washed it (it is washable, according to the label, so, theoretically, no harm there), which left the garment very wrinkly and in need of a good press. I wore it twice anyways during a week long beach trip (once with a cropped v-neck tee over it to mix the look up). Had it arrived in slightly better condition, I likely would have purchased it!

Too large in the waist, but great length
Rented through my unlimited subscription. I typically wear a size 28-29 jean and rented a size 8 in this pant. I found the length and width of the legs to be perfect, but it gapped a bit at the waist. This is probably just a consequence of renting denim which has previously been worn by others. On the whole, I'm glad that I rented these but would not purchase them - the color, while fun, would be difficult to move into regular rotation. For reference, I am long-waisted and found this to be a true, high-waisted jean - I wore it with a cheap little cropped tee I picked up from H&M and had no problems lifting my arms without revealing my post-partum tummy smoosh.

Cute style, Spring/Fall/possibly Summer Appropriate lightweight wool
As another reviewer noted, the wool is surprisingly lightweight and wrinkles. It is, however, a cute style, and pairs well with the TIBI cropped green sweater, also available on RTR (for those with an unlimited subscription). On me, the fit is pretty close to how it is shown on the model (though, I'm a very un-model-y 5'6", with a long torso, a 29" waist, and 39.5" hips). The side slits are about a foot long, so that helps with ease of movement and circulation. I will be wearing this to work in Tucson in the June heat - which is both a comment on the level of air conditioning in my office and a warning to those who, come winter, expect this to offer warmth in snowy weather.

Not too heavy, accurately sized, heather green
Rented as part of my unlimited subscription for purposes of pairing with the TIBI green high waisted Owen skirt (i.e. going for a monochromatic-esque outfit). As a cropped sweater it worked well for that purpose, but I will likely pair it with a cami to avoid "showing off" my postpartum mid-section when I lift my arms. Decent color match with that skirt, but note that this sweater is not a solid green - it has flecks of other colors, so I'd call it more of a "heathered" green. Medium weight. Size medium accommodated my 34DDD chest (VS sizing, so probably not accurate, but hopefully sufficient to convey that I have a medium to large-ish chest).

Lovely dress, slightly too big in the waist
Recently had a child (well, not too recently, but that's what I tell myself) and signed up for the unlimited subscription service in the hopes of accommodating my new, "fluctuating" body (read: tired, hot-mess). One of the four items I picked for my first delivery was not available, and this was on the list of suggested replacements. I was encouraged by the reviews that mentioned that it was too big in the waist. Turns out . . . it's too big in the waist. But, as I've 40" hips now, going any smaller probably would have been a bad idea. The weight of manipulated fabric is probably to blame for the waistline being a bit shapeless. That being said, I like the fabric and will wear it to work (i.e. away from the tiny one and his various fountains of bodily fluids). I'm about 5'6" with a long torso and the [largish] waist hits me at my natural waist, so it might be a little too long in the waist for short-waisted folk. The chest area fits fine; I'm a 34DDD at VS (which, I don't trust in the slightest to be an accurate size, but those be the only non-nursing bras I have at the moment, so let's roll with it). Current usual clothing size: anywhere between a US 8-10 (usually 12/40-42/44 in UK, FR, IT).

Pretty pattern, but the waistline was a bit high on me
I received a number of compliments on the print, but I found the waistline to be a bit high. For reference I am a little taller than 5'6", around 125-130 lbs and I wore the XS (I normally wear a 2-4 and the Small was huge on me). I do a have a longer torso though. I likely won't rent this one again as the fullness of the skirt in combination with the higher waistline wasn't particularly flattering around my mid-section; the skirt ultimately hid the smallest part of my waist. I did appreciate the pockets. And the length. More mid-length dresses RTR!

Great dress - loved the longer length and the interesting shoulder details. Fit slim, as expected
Had a great experience with customer service that saved the day. I received sizes 2 and 4 in the mail, and the 4 fit great in all but one respect...it appeared as though a prior customer customized the dress themselves by hemming it (poorly) to well above the knee. It was really apparent as the size 2 was at least six inches longer. Not so great for the rest of us ladies who want that extra length. No problem though - called customer service from the airport and they over-nighted a new size 4 to me at my destination. The new size four was great. For reference, I wear a 32D, am approximately 5'7", and wear anywhere between a a 0 and a 4 in clothing from major retailers (i.e. mall clothes). The length in the un-modified size 4 was as pictured and the material was very nice - substantial, non-stretchy, and with a light lining. Strapless bra is a must. A great basic dress I wish I had in my closet for use at other cocktail-attire events. Very elegant.
