Cute but tight and itchy
This coat is adorable! However, it runs small in the hips. Also the collar was itchy from the wool. It was very warm. Size up!

Pretty dress but runs way big
The fabric, cut, and print are beautiful. The dress is really giant and kind of overwhelmed my short frame. I'm normally a small-medium pear shape. I think I could have worn an XS in this. Loved the flowy hemline- just needed heels so it didn't brush the floor!

Work skirt
This was a great work skirt with tights and a sweater. I dressed it up with a sweater that had sequin appliqués and got a lot of compliments on the ensemble. The fabric is thin and stiff but has a little bit of stretch.

Cute doll dress
This dress is very feminine and great with tights. I wore it to work even with the sheer chest area. I think this would be a nice casual holiday party dress.

Comfy loose dress
Dress was comfy and easy to wear. I'm not busty so the slit in the front was fine for work on me. I found the colors washed me out. Overall not the most flattering, but fine for every day.

Super femme work dress
I was skeptical about the neckline but it was super cute on! I felt really polished wearing this at work. Fit true to size.

#1 RTR dress!!!
This is by far my favorite rental. I've rented it 3 times and wore it for everything from a party to a picnic. It's like a magic dress- so flattering and beautiful without being over the top. I wish it wasn't so expensive!

Least favorite
The color and cut of this dress were so unflattering and bland. It washed me out and made me look middle-aged.

Flattering everyday dress
This is a great maxi for everyday wear in the summer. It is really long, so if you are short be prepared with taller wedges.

Nice dress, runs small
The style and fabric of the dress are really nice. I have a small upper body and still could not get the zipper up. I sent back without wearing.

The dress is fine, nothing to call attention to you. The pale yellow color kind of washed me out.

Just not my style.
I thought this was cute in the photo but it was too much heavy, thick fabric. Also the fabric was kind of stiff. I think this is better for tall, slender wearers with longer torso.

Comfy, easy to wear
This dress is no show-stopper but it's flattering. It's easy to wear and can be dressed up or down. Lightweight and form fitting.

Cute but thick
The dress is cute but the style makes you think it would be light weight. It was too much fabric for me, especially around the midsection. It made me look pregnant.

Lightweight casual dress
This dress is comfortable and easy to wear. The straps/sleeves crinkle a bit. The material is not fancy. I wore this to work on a casual day. Would recommend for hanging out and running errands but not if you are going out and want to get noticed.

Light floral
I did not love the cut of this dress. I'm more of a pear shape with a small waist. The dress was cut straight at the middle. I think it obscured my figure and made me look frumpy. The ruffle on top is a lot of fabric. May work better for a taller, athletic build.

Flounce flounce
This dress is really fun but might not work for all body types. It's a lot of fabric on top. I'm on the shorter side so the top fabric went close to my waist, making me look like a lampshade. I still enjoyed wearing it but it might be better on a taller person with a longer torso

Red floral dress
This dress is beautiful. Unfortunately it did not work for me. The top (shoulders and neckline) were too big. I had room in the rib cage but somehow none of the buttons would stay buttoned. I am super bummed I couldn't wear this.

Great daytime dress for work
This dress was nice for work. The cut is very pretty. I think maybe I could have used some fashion tape to hold the top in place around the cleavage more. Otherwise it was great

Perfect little floral dress
I loved this dress so much that I bought it. I have small arms and shoulders do it worked for me on top. It's really much cuter in person than in the picture. It will be great for summer nights!

Vibrant spring colors
I loved this dress. The color and cut are gorgeous. The tiny buttons are kind of a pain. It has a semi wrap bottom, which seems like a waist-high slot when walking. I wore with leggings, which dressed it down. If you want to wear without leggings you might need to size up so it doesn't open in the front when you walk.

I'll fitting and uncomfortable
In the picture the dress looks loose and comfortable. The material is not what I expected. Very rigid, no give. It's uncomfortable and is big in odd places.

Spring flowers
Loved this dress! I wore it to a spring gala. I'm a pear shape, with much bigger hips compared to shoulders and chest and this fit perfectly. The details on the dress are gorgeous. I need to rent it again to wear at a daytime event. Definitely one of the best dresses I've rented on RTR

Fun floral dress for work
This dress is much more flattering on than in the picture. The neckline and cuff detail are really pretty and the hemline flows nicely. I wore this for work and got a ton of compliments. It was a little tight in the rib cage and no give in the upper back and armholes. I think it's ideal for those with smaller upper body that can wear it fitted on top.

Quilted preppy dress
I wore this even though in person this dress is not my style. The cut is very flattering on curves. It turned out to be too preppy for me. The color on the pattern is light blue and the material is quilted. It's hard to see on the app what the dress really looks like.

Cute but flimsy dress.
I ended up not wearing this. The material was thinner than a handkerchief! I can't believe the retail price is close to $1k. The print and cut are cute, but the material was way too thin for me. Also runs small. Probably great for going out clubbing or a beach party.

Perfect LBD
Loved this dress, wore it 3 times. The cut outs are really cute. The fit was comfortable from the waist down. I am small in the shoulders and the arm holes were a little tight so if your upper body is bigger then maybe size up.

Flirty sparkly dotted dress
I really loved this dress. It's a bit shorter than I normally wear. I'm small on top, big in the hips so it fit above the waist and was too tight below. It's so cute, I wore it anyway and got a lot of compliments.

Deep v twirly dress
I got this in a small bc I have very small shoulders. The cut on the neckline is very low and wide. I was able to wear a strapless bra under it. I am a B cup. If you are busty this probably won't work for you without a camisole under it. The rest of the dress was stretchy and fit well. The shimmer detail is pretty and the color is beautiful.

Ruffle sweater
I sized up on this bc I read other reviews stating it was short. The medium is the right length but with the puffy shoulders I would have preferred a more skintight fit. I wish it was just slightly longer so I could wear a small. Otherwise, comfy, nice colors, love the glittery detail.

Super cute sweater dress!
Loved this dress. There are some faint pink and blue colors that didn't show up on my phone. It was form fitting and comfortable.

Cozy dress
This was a comfy dress. I wore it for work and to a lunch. The first time I wore it I felt like it fit perfectly but the second west I felt I could have gone down a size. It might have stretched out. The purple color is really pretty.

Cute dress for presentation.
Wore this while teaching a full day workshop. Very comfortable and professional looking. Paired well with tights and ankle boots. Nice, heavy material for winter. I think I could have gone with a small- it was a bit loose throughout and material is stretchy.

Cute work dress
This is the perfect winter work dress to wear with tights. It started to stretch out and feel baggy as the day went on. I might have tried it in a size smaller to get more of a snug look

Odd shirt
This fit pretty large. I had a hard time getting it to lay right. It bunches up in the back, making the waist and side boob look bulky. It's a strange, heavy material. It feels like acrylic.

This dress is so cute but the cut of the skirt part is awkward if you have hips
Although this dress is adorable I did not wear it. The top fit fine, a bit loose, but the bands along the bottom skirt were so tight. I think this might work better on someone who has narrow hips.

Super cute sweater. Wore out for lunch and to work on a dress down day.
I could have done with an XS bc I like a tighter fit but it still had a nice shape.
