Made me feel cute at 8 mo preggers
I think I would have loved this dress even if I wasn't 8 months pregnant, but it hung perfectly without making me feel shapeless. The pinstripes are classic (the only con is that the material is a little scratchy). I wore it on a warmer day but it would be perfect with black tights and booties too.

Loved this dress!
This was a great dress that would transition nicely from work (depending on how casual the workplace) to dinner to drinks. I actually ended up dressing it up and wearing it to a birthday party and lounge. It looked great with the Lulu Frost Lola earrings and heels.

Love these!
I got tons of compliments on these earrings and they were really versatile...definitely appropriate for everyday or for a night out. The only problem is that they are pretty heavy and my ears weren't used to wearing earrings regularly, so on the third day I had to take them out because my ears were hurting!

Super small and bulky
I am usually a size XS or S and I ordered the S. I definitely needed at least a medium: the sleeves were short (almost like they had shrunk) and it was uncomfortable. The colors are vibrant and pretty so I might try to rent again in the correct size, but the wool is a little scratchy so you might want to wear a shirt underneath.

Cute dress but ran big
I wore this to work but I had to add a belt because I was swimming in the small. I don't know whether the XS would have been too short, but it was overall a pretty conservative dress but still cute. I got lots of compliments and it was super comfy.

One of my favorites!!
I'm obsessed with this dress- I would buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn't so expensive. It is perfect for work to cocktails- it can be dressed up or down. It's super comfortable and flattering. The little ruffle at the bottom makes it unique. Love it!

Love this dress!
This is the perfect dress for early fall. It is definitely a thinner material, but the pattern is gorgeous. I have a long torso and I'm 5'6", so the dress hit at just the right spot, although I imagine petite girls might be swimming in it. It has a pretty royal blue detailing in the pattern that isn't visible in photos. The neck is a little low, but nothing you can't get away with for work. Will definitely rent again!

Great fit- super comfy work dress
Loved this dress- it was comfortable and easy to throw on for work. It is definitely form fitting though- so if you're self conscious about your stomach I would pass on this one. Perfect for fall.

My favorite dress
I think this has been my favorite dress from RTR so far! I love Shoshanna and this dress was perfect for work, but could easily have been worn out to drinks after. Lace details was beautiful and the fit was great.

Cute top but low cut
I loved this top, but it was too low cut for work and it looked awkward with a tank under it. I ended up wearing it out and got some use out of it, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have a conservative workplace.

I love Shoshanna! This dress was perfect for work and more conservative than a lot of dresses on the site. High quality material, comfortable, and perfect for the fall.

Love this dress!
I wore this for my birthday party and got tons of compliments. I am usually a 2, but the small was a little big on me, I probably could have gotten away with the XS. I feel like anyone can get away with the stomach cut-out even if you don't have abs. It's super flattering and off the shoulder, a deep burgundy. Loved it!

Great colors, very low cut
I wore this to a bridal shower and was shocked by how low cut it was. My bra kept popping out and I made a last minute run to buy double sided tape so I didn't offend any older relatives :). That being said, the colors are beautiful and I loved the overall style of the dress.

nice accent to an outfit
These went very well with the Monique Lhuillier Double Time dress-- nice blue pop to the dress and matches the trim. They definitely are a little heavy but not so bad I couldn't wear them all night!

Best dress on RTR
I have never gotten so many compliments on a dress in my life. I wore it to an outdoor wedding and was a little nervous that it was too fancy for the event. It photographs beautifully, runs large (I'm normally a 2-4 but wore the 0). It's just a stunning, unusual dress that will make you stand out.

Perfect spring dress
I wore this for my bridal shower (as many other girls seemed to do) and it was perfect!! I got tons of compliments on it and it photographs really well. I would definitely say to size down because the dress has lots of stretch. I'm usually a 4 and I wished I had ordered a size zero!

cute but formal!
I loved these earrings but I didn't end up wearing them. I rented them to go with the Allison Paris Night Watch dress, and they were just too formal. You really need to pair them with something very simple and formal, but they are a stunning addition to the right outfit!

Art Deco LBD
I didn't want to give this dress back! I wore it for an Art Deco party and it looks great with a long string of pearls. I was a little worried that the drop-waist wouldn't be flattering but it has a nice silhouette. The back ruffle was a little wrinkled but nothing the steamer couldn't fix. It's a fun twist on the LBD.

I loved this dress so much I wanted to order it in red for another occasion. It is sooo comfortable and classy. I got lots of compliments- it makes you look like a princess. It's also a great blank slate to accessorize. I rented the Ben-Amun emerald necklace and it matched beautifully!

Runs SO small
I was so disappointed with this dress because it looks so beautiful in the photos. I rented it for a ball but I couldn't even zip up the bigger size that I ordered (a 4). Also in person, this dress actually looked like a bad bridesmaid dress :(. So relieved when I returned it the same day RTR gave me credit for it not fitting.

I wore this for a black tie dinner and was disappointed when I got it in the mail. It looked cheap and I joked that it looked like I was going to my high school prom. But it photographs surprisingly well.

very pretty dress
The color looks duller than in the photos so at first I was disappointed, but it photographs beautifully. I got lots of compliments when I wore it. By the end of the day I liked it so much I decided to buy it. Since the yellow is sold out I found it in blue--which is even prettier! Great dress. (but probably better for tall girls because it is long)

I was a little nervous about this dress when it arrived because it looked kind of shabby (almost like a second-hand dress). But once I put it on with my jewelry (Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster Necklace) it came together and actually photographed really nicely.

Beautiful dress for the Kentucky Oaks
I loved this dress- the quality of the material is great and it looks really elegant. I was a little worried it would be too fancy for a day event, but it was perfect for the Oaks. I'm 5'6" and the length was also perfect (not too short or long). It has a built in corset which was a little uncomfortable and scratchy at first, but really adds to the elegance of the look. I loved it!

I was obsessed with this dress from the picture but when it arrived I was a little disappointed by the color...which is much more nude than gold. However I still got tons of compliments on it and it came out great in pictures! Would rent it again!
