My favorite work blazer

I keep renting this blazer since last fall. The pattern goes with everything, and it's so comfortable. My favorite set is with basic black pants, black t-shirt and purple shoes. I wore it so many times I believe my coworkers think it's mine, not rented. It's middle weight blazer, so perfect for winter in the South. RTR suggested size 8, I wore it a few times and then switched to size 6, which was perfect for my smaller chested frame.

basic work dress

I rented it for work, but unfortunately the dress did not fit my body shape so I ended up not wearing it. From this designer, I usually rent size 8 because I prefer dresses to be not too form fitting, but for this style I should have rented 6 (or maybe even 4?). Top of this dress needs to be fitted tight in order to make it look well, unfortunately I was not able to fill this dress with my upper body, so it looked frumpy. Plus the neckline was so low cut that the middle of the bra could be seen. Maybe smaller size would help, as I still had some room in the waist. I think the dress would work better for someone with larger chest. I liked the way the skirt flows, and it has pockets. Fabric is very nice, middle weight. The dress arrived quite wrinkled, I'm afraid even if I press it, it may get wrinkled during the day. I did not have a chance to check due to fit issues.

This dress runs huge

I rented it for work, but was unable to wear it. It was so huge. I think I should have rented 36, not 40 as suggested by RTR. I tried with a fitted blazer, but still there was too much fabric (plus huge armholes... so the blazer would have to stay on all day). Interesting pattern though, and nice thin fabric. The dress was also a bit too long to my liking, somewhere between midi and maxi, what made it less work appropriate (what I rented it for) and maybe more a party dress.

Unusual skirt, but armholes too big

The skirt is perfect. Mid calf length on my 5"6 frame. Beautiful green and yellow pattern. Fabric is not too heavy, what makes the skirt a bit see through, so I wore it to work only with a slip. Unfortunately armholes are just huge, what made it impossible to hide bra/ slip straps. Not only straps, but also side of the bra would show, so having strapless bra will not help. I wore this dress multiple times, but always with sweater/ jacket and very conscious that I can't take it off, what made it winter dress only. Were it not for the armholes, the dress would be perfect. I'm a bit conscious regarding my waist (being a mom...), but the cut of this dress hid any flaws in that area perfectly.

True 1940s dress

The material is tissue thin. I rented it for work and would never be able to wear it for this purpose without a full slip. However, it's supposed to be a 1940s dress, so should be worn the way our grandmothers did: with full slip, a belt and a vintage necklace. Accessorized this way, 5/5. The dress did not fit well for my body shape. A bit loose in the chest, and unforgiving in the midsection. So if you have anything other than super flat belly, all bumps will show. Slip helped a bit, but still.
