Flattering
Fit great - but was a little shear. Definitely needs a slip if worn in daytime.

Classy work dress
Flattering for us over 50 girls. Thick fabric but perfect for chilly 65 degree winter mornings in Florida.

So flattering - businesslike but fun. Great for us shorter girls (5'3")
Heavy enough to cover a few bumps but light enough for day or night wear. Sleeves are amazing. Lots of thumbs up on the street and in elevator

This dress was just OK for me.
I have an hourglass figure and the dress was pretty boxy so didn’t accentuate my figure. Probably best for someone with an athletic figure.

Great, slimming fit
As a Florida girl, we don't get many chances to wear high quality, mid-weight clothing, but this dress really performed. I wore it twice: once for work and once for a shower and it was comfy, slimming (important after the holidays) breathable and high quality.

Not the style for me...
Fabric was just weird... "plastic" feeling so ended up not wearing.

Black Print Lace Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs

Was about 6 inches to long for my 5'3" height, even with heels.
Would be great for a very tall woman; I would have loved to wear since it was well made.

Great work dress
Fit true to size, was a good pick for a work trip to Boston in early spring when it was a bit chilly but would not rent until fall since it was a little heavy for humid Florida, where I live.

Wore for work - with a jacket since it was very form fitting.
Fit was spot on - not very forgiving but hugs the curves

One of my favs ever!
I use RTR mostly for a variety of stylish work dresses and I believe this is my favorite so far. Fun, but conservative enough for work, I loved the very bright orange color, the superb styling and the length, which was perfect for my 5'3" "older gal" frame. I had so many compliments from strangers in this one!

This was a 5 star dress!
For some reason, I could not select five stars for the review, but this was a way cool dress that was flattering and conservative in the front with just a hint of fun in the back with micro cutouts. Will be renting again.

Elegant and well constructed dress for a wedding
Loved this dress, which I wore to a family wedding. Only caution - it was very long on my 5'3 frame so had to be whipstitched hemmed. Classy and flattering, even for this old gal.

Beautiful style but too tight considering sheer fabric
I'm renting this again in a size up since the material was so sheer it showed a small ridge from a long ago c-section scar and I don't like to wear Spanx for work clothes. That said, I really liked the look and will try again.

Rented at the Chicago RTR store when temperature dropped 40 degrees during a work trip & loved it!
Thanks Calvin for going in the back to Florida find something to keep this Florida girl warm in the Windy City!

Way way too long unless you are over 6 feet tall
Was so excited to receive this dress until I put it on and it came nearly to my ankles. The skirt was so full and there was so much excess fabric that it felt like it should be worn with a crinoline, which is not exactly my style. I'm 5'4 and generally wear a 2 but sized up from a comment that the bust was snug on larger gals. In any case, this one was a miss for me and I'll be returning unworn on my unlimited plan
Citrus Floral Dress

Cute, but a little sheer for work
Fit well - a little snug in chest though, and for me needed a full slip.
