Body larger than expected, dress shorter than expected
I wanted to like this dress, however the size 2 was a little too loose on me and the dress was much shorter than the photo implies. I was able to wear it with a dress extension slip, however, without it the dress barely covered the goods. Gorgeous dress though and the sequins are a beautiful color. If it fixed those two areas I probably would have bought it to add to my wardrobe. It's a shame the fit was what it was.

Runs large, appears baggy
This top runs very large. I have a DD chest and the shirt still appeared frumpy in my normal size. Sleeves are very loose and baggy and I'm not sure that sizing down will help it appear more tailored.

Gorgeous dress but runs large. I am usually a 2 or 4 in Diane Von Furstenberg but this dress was huge in a small. So large that I think the XS would also be too big.

Nice jacket, runs large
Nice jacket but runs very large. I ordered the small and it was much too large for me (size 2/4). Sleeves also were long. Will be returning without wearing.

Nice dress however it was slightly large. I'm usually a 2/4 and ordered a small but the dress was too large to wear. May consider renting again in XS if available.

Beautiful dress
Beautiful dress. If you are busty I would consider sizing up. I am a 32D and ordered a 4, however, with the bust having no stretch, the bust was too tight to wear the dress. I absolutely would consider renting it again in a 6... the waist may be a little loose but with the poofy skirt that may not be a huge deal for stilling looking like a nipped in waist.

Gorgeous dress!
Gorgeous dress and very flattering. Underskirt is very short - I wore nude boy shorts in case it did (which it did multiple times per night - maybe less of a problem for someone shorter). Great pick for date night!

Totally forgettable
Did not wear this top. Liberal use of the term "Flowy" in the description. This is a heavy cotton twill. It's also very faded from too much use. Rented as part of Unlimited so at least I didn't need to pay extra for this thing. Unfortunately, package was delayed by UPS and I did have to wait extra long for it.

Great purse
Great purse in a versatile size. The suede material is very chic and the color goes with so many things. My ONLY complaint would be that the purse gets a little heavy when packed full.

Gorgeous dress
This was originally going to be the bridesmaid dress for my wedding - I fell absolutely in love with it. Unfortunately, the wedding was called off, however, the love for the bridesmaid dress still remained. Luckily, it came up for sale during the clearance. Since my bridesmaids weren't going to wear it, now I own it. Score! I'll need to find an event to wear it to, but it's so gorgeous I don't think I'll have a problem with that.

Great jacket, really love it
This jacket is great! I'm on the fence as to whether I should say it is "true to size" or "runs small" because it is a little tight but not enough to the point that I would really chance going a whole size up. If you are between sizes I would definitely size up though. The leather is nice, the cut is great and it's a surprisingly versatile piece for being metallic. It's one of the few metallic things I would feel ok wearing during the day too. Very pleased.

Great bag, very large
I was looking for a large tote that could be easily packed and used while traveling. This bag suited those tasks perfectly. Probably larger than I would carry for an "everyday" bag but am contemplating buying one just so I can have it when I need it. The bag is much lighter than anticipated for a leather bag of this size too, bonus!

Great dress, won't work on everyone
The dress looks great on me but I can see why others reviewed it the way they did. The dress is a different color than in the photo. I like it better but if you are hoping the color will be exact... It won't be. It photographs totally different than it looks in real life and took several tries for my Pantone app to pick up the right color. This cut will not work for everyone. The top is impossible to wear a bra with without it showing (at least if you bend over). Mine are "aftermarket parts" so I don't need any support and I fill out the top so it won't gape and show everything. Smaller busted gals will have problems as will larger busted gals that need support. It runs small. I have a freakishly small ribcage (usually wear a 30E) and the 4 fit. If you don't have a small ribcage good luck... Lots of "cup" for a chest and cut very slim through the ribs/waistline. The cut is best for people with a long torso. I am long-waisted with short legs for my height. If you aren't the dress may ride up and become VERY short. That said, I like this dress but 100% understand why the other reviews are what they are. Hopefully the detailed fit guidance helps.

True to size and a great topper
Was a nice compliment to a dress I wore for a date and a nice and dressy fabric. Perfect for the occasion but from the photos on the site I expected it to be more versatile for everyday wear. Either way, the jacket was great for nice dinner and a show - but the fabric is probably too delicate for pairing with jeans or even wearing to work during the day.

Great dress, size up - especially for large busts
I sized up to a 4 based upon previous reviews. The bust is still a bit tight, however the rest of the fit became a bit "matronly" when doing that. The design and embroidery are gorgeous. This is a dress I would consider buying (probably even in a 6) and tailoring down but this is a tricky rental for someone with a larger bust.

Great dress, perfect for hourglass shapes. I received a lot of compliments and looks the first day I wore it. Gorgeous fit. Accommodated a D bust perfectly - very difficult to find with a sheath style.

A little snug in hips, good dress but could not wear.
The dress was great and I am a 2 normally which would have worn the small. I'm a little disappointed because whoever rented it last must have worn very strong deodorant and streaks of it were still on the front and side of the dress (although obviously faded like it had been cleaned). My fashion sponge would not remove it and no time to dry clean the dress, so had to wear something out of my closet.

The dress runs true to size and the color is stunning. The fabric is perfect for spring. The cut wasn't 100% perfect, but this style of dress usually looks terrible on me... So it really exceeded any expectations.

Great dress, wish they had a 0
The styling was great for a springtime wedding. As previous reviewers have stated, this dress is better if you are busty. My only real complaint is that it seems to run large. The 2 was a little loose and a 0 would have been better.

Great dress, very little difference in size between 2 and 4
I had the 2 shipped with the 4 as the backup size. There was very little difference in size between the two dresses and I could have worn either. I'm a D/DD and it had no problem accommodating my bust in either size. Might be too large up top for someone that is a bit less curvy. I recommend a strapless bra or cross-back bra - was traveling with a nude regular one and the straps would show occasionally.

This is a really great necklace. I wore it with a Nha Khan sheath (Hydrangea Dream) and the colors were a perfect pairing. I received compliments on it all night. At $10 to rent it really cannot be beat for completing your look.

Nice clutch - heavier than expected
Clutch was substituted when another clutch could not be shipped. Unfortunately it was the wrong color so I could not use it but the bag was substantial. It was a bit heavier than expected, so probably not ideal if you will need to carry it for long periods of time. Would be totally fine for the sort of event where you can set it on a table or something (like a wedding or gala).

Gorgeous dress! Made my night!
I wore this dress to the 2015 Academy Awards and felt like a million bucks among stars on the red carpet. It totally made my night. I did not think the dress looked like much online but after trying it on in the showroom I was sold. It looks SO much better in person than the model shot. I wore the 4 - it started out fitting well but loosened up a bit as the night went on... I may have been able to wear the 2. Fantastic dress and highly recommended. It looks even better than on the model! I was receiving compliments all night!

Gorgeous dress!
I will preface this with: I knew this dress was going to be too short when it arrived as my backup style, but if it was the proper length I easily would have worn it instead of my main choice - and I had tried THAT one on in a showroom! The dress is absolutely gorgeous and TTS. I fluctuate between a 2 and 4 and the 4 fit perfectly. If you follow the guidance on length you will be perfectly fine. I'm 5'7" and desperately trying to see if I can pull the dress down just a tiny bit more or find some shoes that work. You will not be disappointed with this rental!

A little smaller than expected which was a pleasant surprise
I was expecting the tote to be a bit larger based on the photo. I loved the color but don't really like big bags so it was a pleasant surprise that the size is quite versatile. The leather feels wonderful and the color is to die for. The bag is a little heavy but manageable... I just won't be loading it full of stuff.

Sort of "meh"
I was expecting to need the 4 based upon a review by a gal with measurements almost identical to mine. The 4 arrived and the shoulders are narrow while the sleeves are too long and the body is just "big". Sort of a disappointment. I was expecting more from this jacket since I usually love Helmut Lang and the print is super fun.

Gorgeous necklace! Wearing it to the Oscars!
I usually will wear an item out before reviewing it, but I was so excited when I opened the box that I am compelled to write one now. I tried the necklace on and it is gorgeous - I'm already considering buying it (it arrived through the "Unlimited" program). I'm especially happy because it will go perfectly with my dress I am wearing to the Oscars... I originally had no jewelry to wear with it and was going to go shopping tomorrow. I think this necklace also looks perfect for "dressing up" a t shirt and jeans or for wearing to work.

Great idea but please let me proactively decline things I can't wear (like earrings)
This is a great idea. The accessory they selected was perfect for my dress. My only complaint will not be a complaint for most - they should give the option of proactively declining or not sending earrings unless you have previously rented them from RTR or opted in. I can't wear them, so luckily I caught that they were going to send them as they were still packaging my shipment up. I called a stylist who was great and made a quick switcheroo to send me a bracelet.

Great bracelet, got it as my stylist surprise.
Great bracelet. I probably wouldn't have picked it myself but it was a good accent. The clasp is a bit funky but it will stay on as long as you don't get too crazy.

Great dress!
This dress was gorgeous. I rented it for a wedding in a conservative church and it was perfect. Very conservative while the design also highlights your figure. The zipper sticks a bit on the 2 but it was still functional. Very pleased with this rental and hope this dress comes up for sale later.

A little small but very cute dress
This dress is a little snug - especially in the arms - but looks really great on. I am between a 2 and a 4 and the 4 fits good with the exception of the arms which are a bit tight. Fiance loved it on me! Dress is a little short though (I'm 5'7") so not sure I recommend for tall gals.
