Lovely print, easy to wear and comfortable
This top is awesome--comfortable, easy to wear and beautiful--luxe embroidery, rich-looking fabrication, beautiful covered buttons. I'm shocked by the negative reviews as this top is so attractive and fun! Just wearing it made me happy. It runs very large...I wore a small and often take a large in designer due to being 36DD...I likely could've worn an XS. It was so lovely that I didn't want to return it. I paired it with distressed denim skinny jeans to balance out the fuller top. The back isn't pleated but rather lies flat which helps to streamline the look. Seriously one of my favorite rentals!

Beautiful patterned skirt with cool asymmetrical hem
This designer often runs small so I sized up given that it looked like a sweater dress on top. In actuality, it runs large...I should've gotten an 8 as I was swimming in the 12. The top is very stretchy so if size down (even w an ample chest) because it needs to be fitted to lay nicely. The pattern of the asymmetrical drip skit was stunning. Sadly, retuned unworn.

Don't let this one fool ya'--it's gorgeous, versatile and easy to wear. It's happiness in a dress!
First off, it looks ordinary and perhaps even frumpy in the pics and on the hanger--but it's amazing on! The fabric is light and flowy, skimming the body in an incredibly flattering way. The pattern is stunning and can be dressed up or down. I preferred it with the buttons undone so you could see a little of the vneck slip underneath. The sleeves are sheer like the bodice (so the navy slip dress underneath is key!) with a ruffle which makes it feminine and the skirt is shorter in the front than in the back creating a unique silhouette, cascading when you walk! It seriously made me happy wearing it and it was so comfy, I didn't wanna take it off. I wore it by itself as well as with a jean jacket. It's great with flats or even sandals, but I wore it with dark green suede open-toed booties which gave it a funkier look. I wish I owned this one! A fav rental for sure!the "3" fit nicely but I'd say the chest runs a bit small as does the under slip...but nothing that made it uncomfortable.

Love this fun take on a LBD!
This dress looks plain on the hanger but is gorgeous on. The cape sleeves make add a fun element as does the dripped waist with side tie. I had to get the large as it's cut small but the fit was perfect (ample room in chest area and more fitted on bottom). It hit well above my knees and made me look far leggier than I am, which I loved. I received many compliments. The material feels expensive and the dress is a one and done...I added a long necklace and booties but it would also look great with stilettos or even over the knees boots. One note of caution, by sizing up, the sleeves ended up being very low cut underneath so when I raised my arms from certain angles you could see my bra and lots of skin...black undergarments are a must.

Gorgeous statement blouse, can be dressed up or down!
The reddish orange color of this blouse combined with the luxurious material and unexpected tie back make this a great choice for most occasions. The sleeves flow beautifully as well. It's absolutely gorgeous and no jewelry is necessary. It looked great with distressed jeans and would also look amazing with black ankle trousers or a black leather Aline or pleated skirt.

Beautiful every day too. Not something you can dress up but simple and well made. The material feels expensive and lays beautifully. Wish I owned it...too pricey for what it is but perfect for unlimited.

Gorgeous, stylish, easy to wear, statement top
This blouse is amazing! It's everything you could want in a statement top...can be dressed up or down, incredibly comfortable (buttery soft material, skims the midsection), beautiful print and gorgeous, flattering style. It runs small if you're busty. I'm usually an 8-10 and rented a 12 mainly because it was available in store but I'm glad I did as it fit like a glove. I work it w ankle length tuxedo trousers but would look equally chic w/ jeans. One of my fav rentals--wish I owned it!

Gorgeous, unique and flattering
Gorgeous detail on a flattering white blouse that can easily be dressed up or down. I received many compliments and felt very pretty wearing it. I wore it with jeans and sandals and then again w dressier black pants and heels. The detail is amazing (pleats and pin dot lace!) and ensures there's no need for a necklace.

Perfect, easy yet stand out blouse
This is a gorgeous, trendy blouse. It skims the body so it's flattering and slimming; and has sheer (long) sleeves making it great for even hot summer temps but also something you could wear for a special event year round. The gold thread accents throughout the top are subtle enough to wear to work or for casual occasions but stand out enough to dress up for a dressier event. It's increasingly comfortable and lined so no need for a bra. I will own this one!

great top for work or fun...pleats are perfection
I love this top...what's more, my husband said it's amazingly flattering on me. I was a bit surprised because the pleats are clearly not slimming but he commented that the thin straps and cut in of the top made it drape beautifully. It elevates a plain black top to something unique and chic. I paired it w/ white jeans and orange sandals for a pop of color. The cut out at the chest means no need for a necklace.

Wow! Found: Happiness in a dress!
I love everything about this dress. It's deceiving looking online as it looks like a shapeless white dress w ruffles. It's actually a gorgeous statement dress that made me happy all day. As other reviewers shared, be mindful of the wind--I wore a red lip and several times had to catch a ruffle from blowing into my lipstick! I will say I had to iron it and afterwards it didn't look like I had but it didn't take away from the appearance. It's very short but made me look Meggie than I am. Constant compliments (husband said he didn't "understand" it & that I looked like a cupcake! I wore it nevertheless and when he saw me later in the day, he said it was incredibly attractive on!). Love, Love. Fav rental and wish I owned it!

Buttons gap open at top
His is a fun pattern and felt great and flattering on with black tights and booties. I can also see loving it w bare legs BUT, I ended up not wearing it due to the issue w the buttons at the top constantly gaping open. The top wasn't too tight so it appears it's a flaw in the design as many other reviews mention this issue as well. I thought I'd use w double sided tape but it was just too much to have to do for a Tibi dress that should not have this issue! I do t recommend renting even if you're flat chested as the top ends up looking very sloppy or poorly made.

Easy to wear but very short
Joie always runs small but this one is also very short so I needed it in a Large! I'm average height and wouldn't have been able to wear it with bare legs...and I normally love short skirts!. The elasticized waist accentuates a small middle but it makes it risky to raise your arms at work, LOl! With black tights, booties and a long black cardigan, this looked pulled together yet still fun (& I was covered enough that I could raise my arms without fear). I liked it but wouldn't rent again even on unlimited unless I was in store and nothing else was available.

Gorgeous, versatile jacket/coat!
I loved this rental. I own many items from this brand and wouldn't normally order from RTR since it's not a high-end price point that I don't always have access to. Being lace it's not as practical to own so it ended up being a great rental piece. I wore it as an open duster jacket over jeans and without the belt. I can also see wearing it belted this Spring over a dress. Lovely color, flattering design, perfect for transitional spring weather. It looks equally nice buttoned for a different look. It fits true to size for this brand--I'm normally a 6/8 in dresses but take a L in Cupcakes and Cashmere jackets as they're cut smaller in the chest.

Chic yet amazingly comfortable and versatile --in Love!
This is such a gorgeous dress--so much more attractive on the body than on the hanger; and definitely far more beautiful in person than the pics online! The material is silky and lightweight and the pleats are perfection--flowy and flattering with enough shape to the top that they're actually slimming. Will be amazing with bare legs and nude heels. I'll wear now w tights and ankle booties. This brand runs small on me but this style seems to run larger than usual. I'm a 36DD with a small waist and they only had a large but I loved the silhouette and my husband said it was amazing too. The sleeves are longer and blousy but the slits give it a more cape-like feel. The navy is beautiful and the dress looks effortless yet glamorous. I want to own this piece!!!

Photo ready --but a little too covered up in back.
The pattern is gorgeous and can be dressed up or down but there are a few noteworthy things that will keep me from renting this again...1) it has shoulder pads inside the lining that bunch up regularly and make it look as if you have a growth on your shoulder! I found myself fidgeting with them throughout the day to try to keep them laying flat. 2) the jacket is a bit long. The sleeves are perfectly cinched to show off a wrist full of bracelets but the jacket is mean for someone fairly tall. I still wore it but it could've been 4 inches or so shorter and more flattering on me.

Adorable sleeves make this eye catching
This is an adorable shift dress accented with cool sleeves that make it more interesting than the standard LBFD. Material is comfortable and dress stayed wrinkle free all day. I wore this with bare legs and black booties for an edgier look. I can see wearing this through the spring with black tights or even to a work event with heels. Loved it but would size down next time.

Retro chic
This dress is made from a very thick, expensive looking material--that's not quite evident in the photos. The modern cut is incredibly flattering and the retro colors are gorgeous. The dress was easy to wear and looked great by itself with bare legs as well as with a long black cardigan. I could see this easily transitioning to Fall/winter with tights and a black tshirt underneath. I went with my true size but will rent one size smaller next time.

Love this fun and flirty take on a menswear dress!
This dress is incredibly fun and interesting. I love the tie front detail -- they're actual shirt sleeves and you can cinch them more or less depending upon how you'd like the dress to fit. I have a casual workplace and paired this w/ navy leggings and rose gold metallic AGL flats for an adorable, almost preppy look. It looks even more flirty sans pants but is very short and the flounce is prone to fly up with the wind. Will definitely rent again!

It's a stunner -- stylish, fun & versatile --I can't say enough great things about it!
This is a gorgeous dress --the unique pattern, asymmetrical cut and faux wrap make it incredibly flattering and interesting to wear. It's versatile and stylish --looks equally good w/ chunky heels or booties. It's fairly low cut so I paired it with a white cami to make it more work appropriate. As other reviewers shared, it runs large (which is surprising for DVF); I'm a medium but could've easily worn a small. I wasn't able to wear this out because the hem unfortunately was undone (thanks to RTR for sending another dress...hopefully I'll receive it soon). I'll definitely rent it again.

Simple sweater dress with a funky twist makes this fun and flirty!
This dress is incredibly flattering and versatile. I got compliments all day including from total strangers walking down the street. It's easy to wear, doesn't wrinkle and is perfect for work to dinner. I wore it w/ booties to make it less dressy; it would look equally great w/ heels. Will definitely rent again!

Stylish, unique take on the classic shirt dress.
This dress has great lines and I could tell it would be flattering on. Unfortunately it runs small. I'm a 36DD and couldn't get it buttoned so I wasn't able to wear it. :( It's definitely a stylish and unique take on what otherwise was just a classic shirt dress. I'm going to size up and order again.
