Massive
RTR needs to provide more accurate measurements. I'm a pretty standard 14 and the XL was massive, like several extra inches of fabric at the waist. Really disappointing and I miss unlimited swaps because now I'm stuck with a dress I cannot wear.

Caitlin Dress
STINE GOYA
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 40I
Not flattering for curves
The pattern of this dress is beautiful but something you cannot see in the model photos is that the dress has a seam that hits right at the hips and the dress flares out a bit. I imagine if you don't have curves then this isn't an issue but if you do then it makes your bottom half look very wide. I'm a 36G bra and the top portion of the dress fit perfectly.
Watercolor Floral Midi Dress
Victor Alfaro x RTR
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Do not rent if you're curvy
I can't believe these are considered maternity jeans--they have less stretch than regular jeans and they are cut so low my underwear was hanging out. I'm not sure who these jeans would fit but they absolutely do not fit bodies with curves...aka pregnant women.
Racer Maternity Caspian Jeans
Citizens of Humanity
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Comfortable and trendy
I've rented this top twice because it's so easy to wear and pair with black or white jeans. I sized up to accommodate for my bust but otherwise it would fit true to size for an oversized denim shirt.
Rowan Button Down Top
Habitual
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Not made for curvy women
I don't have a long torso but I still sized up based on previous reviews. This was a waste of a rental--the jumpsuit had a shorts liner in it that allows for absolutely no stretch. The fabric is really nice but it is not made for women with curvy bodies.
Floral Tie Front Jumpsuit
Louna
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Flowy and feminine
This top is very pretty and I received a lot of compliments. It was very comfortable to wear but it is definitely flowy so don't expect it to be fitting.
Printed Ruffle Blouse
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Pretty but beware of front gap
It's not clear in the photos or description that the front easily separates. If you have a large bust, be prepared to use fashion tape or a safety pin to keep it closed. Otherwise, it was very comfortable and flattering and I got a lot of compliments.
Leopard Mathieu Dress
Just Female
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Can be sexy..or not
I ordered a size up for my larger bust and this fit well with a belt. I left the top two and bottom two buttons open and the dress became sexy. I got a ton of compliments! I would've bought it except that my dress had a number of pulls in the fabric and a stain.
Diana Shirred Shirtdress
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: 1XR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Not waterproof
I thought this would be more of a rain jacket/waterproof but it's not. I'm a size 12 and I was able to zip the XL over my hips but it was snug like the other reviews mentioned. Because of the style, you need to zip, button and tie for it to be somewhat cute so don't rent with the intention of leaving it open.
Summer Parka
LOST INK
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Liner is very short
I didn't listen to the warnings for curvy women and thought this dress would be cute. The actual dress was very pretty but I couldn't wear it because the liner was incredibly short, as in barely covered my butt. Unless you have another slip you can wear under this, stay away if you're curvy.
Almond Paradiso Dress
Joie
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Beautiful and unique
This dress is beautiful! The materials are strange (the top is not a sweater) but you can't tell unless you're the one wearing it. The zipper is nearly impossible to zip and unzip by yourself. I'm a 12 but the XL fit perfectly.
Almeria Knit Dress
SACHIN BABI
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Unlined but very pretty
Be prepared to have a cami to wear underneath this because it is completely sheer. I wore black but a tan one would have also worked. Overall, the top is very feminine and has very pretty details. Perfect for every day, a date, brunch.
Adrielle Silk Top
Joie
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Completely sheer, pretty pattern
This was a cute top but it doesn't come with a cami so make sure you have something to wear underneath it because it is completely sheer. It's very feminine and the details are pretty. Good for every day/brunch/weekend activities.
Joleta Silk Top
Joie
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Quality dress, no stretch
This dress was pretty and I received a number of compliments. However, the material is very thick and stiff so it gets creased throughout the day. I also felt like it was a tad too short for a professional setting. Definitely plan to wear tights or shape wear.
Grey Day Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Beautiful print, true to size
This dress has such a beautiful pattern but it isn't lined so it's a bit see-through. I usually wear a 12 but only the 14 was available so I went with it but it was a little too baggy. Definitely take your regular size. I thought this was so beautiful and I'd definitely rent it again.
Floral Smock Sleeve Dress
Jay Godfrey
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Feminine and unique
This top has very feminine details but there is no shape to it so the bottom is boxy and can be unflattering. I wore a leather jacket over it so you couldn't tell. The spaces between the buttons are completely open but they don't gape. This was an easy top to wear.
Mini Daisy Flutter Blouse
Nicholas
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Quality bag
When this bag arrived I thought it was a little masculine but it grew on me. It was spacious enough for everyday use it's very sturdy.
Bordeaux Alix Shoulder Bag
3.1 Phillip Lim Accessories
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Super tight, a little too sexy for work
I'm pretty sure this dress is navy but I had to pair with black accessories because that's all I had packed because the description says this dress is black. Either way, it's very tight and a bit too sexy for work.
Black Turnlock Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Pretty and comfortable but size down
This dress was pretty and comfortable but as the other reviews state, it runs very large. Size down without fear.
Julie Sweater Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Amazing dress!
Definitely size up if you have a large bust and then fall in love with this dress. It was so comfortable, unique and stunning. I received so many compliments and I didn't want to take this dress off.
Central Lace Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Very short
I wanted to love this but it was just too short. Size up double and you may have luck.
Brodie Tunic Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
This dress is navy
I'm 100% sure this dress is navy, not black. It's VERY tight and you have to step into it and slide it up your body, which made me feel like a sausage link. You have to wear a strapless bra. I thought about wearing this with shapewear but ended up wearing a more flattering dress.
Black Zipper Sheath
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Runs small, fits like a cheerleader uniform
I wanted to love this dress but it runs very small. The midsection if the dress is very fitting and the skirt of the dress flares out like a cheerleading skirt. Maybe more suitable for someone with less curves?
Woven Flare Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
This dress is navy
I thought this dress was going to be black but it's navy. Either way, loved it and wish I came in all colors. Super comfortable, soft, thick sweater dress material. Not super firm fitting and true to size. Rent it for work!
Harley Sweater Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Never returning
I wasn't going to follow the size recommendation for this but I'm glad I did because it fit perfectly. It's not super oversized and it's actually flattering. It's so comfortable and has these cute little faux leather pockets. Highly recommend for everyday wear.
Sweet Pea Cardigan
Lavand.
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Adds width, unflattering
I am surprised by all the positive reviews on this dress. While the dress was quality and felt nice, it was incredibly unflattering. I sized up, per reviews, but the dress was so heavy and felt and looked like I was wearing a sack. I couldn't wear it.
Green Ivy Leaf Lace Sheath
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Versatile, comfortable
I've rented this dress multiple times for everyday wear, going out to dinner, etc. It's very comfortable and stretchy. The material is thick so even though it is form-fitting, it doesn't show every imperfection. If you have a larger bust, you may want to rent a size up or plan on pinning the top button so it doesn't separate.
Jade Shirtdress
Leota
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Not for large busts
I typically wear a 12 so I was hoping the 14 would fit well but it was very constricting in the bust. If this isn't a concern for you then you should rent it because it's beautiful and high quality.
Ana Sofia Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Perfect for large busts
I loved this jumpsuit for work. It was very comfortable and easy to throw on. The bottom fits true to size and the top is roomy. Perfect for larger busts.
Sabella Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Super comfortable!
This top is really easy to dress up for work or down for weekend. The black fabric is very soft, stretchy and comfortable. The white fabric needed to be steamed when it arrived and it wrinkled again quickly.
Windowpane Two Tone Top
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Pretty color and material, unflattering fit
This top has a zipper down the majority of the back and a clasp at the top, which makes it nearly impossible to properly wear without assistance. The material has no stretch and if you have a larger bust, it looks almost like you're wearing a football uniform with pads.
Poppy Darling Top
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Feminine pattern and style, very long
This dress was beautiful but it wasn't very flattering. It's supposed to be a midi but it just looks oversized. Maybe size down if you want it to fit better
Floral Analise Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
So pretty, tons of compliments
This dress has a super subtle pattern that is adorable. It fits really well but I had a little trouble with the buttons. Unless you have a super large bust, it will fit true to size. This dress is easy to dress up or down.
Bedford Dress
ERIN erin fetherston
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Odd length strap
This bag is cute but the length of the strap, fully extended or not, is super awkward. I ended up wearing this to the rehearsal dinner rather than the wedding because I just couldn't get over the length. The photos make it appear as if the strap can be removed but you really just have to tuck it into the bag and it takes up a lot of space.
Tan Large Ring Clutch
Liebeskind
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Beautiful but heavy and oversized
These earrings are beautiful and a super sweet shade of pink. I was able to wear them for several hours before they gave me a headache. They are very long earrings and very heavy. These are clip-ons.
Pink Long Tassel Earrings
Oscar de la Renta
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Small bust but otherwise true to size
I ordered the 14 to leave room for my large bust but it was still too small. There is absolutely no stretch in the fabric and the bust and shoulders are very fitted. Otherwise, the dress is gorgeous and I wish I could've worn it.
Blush Buckingham Sheath
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36G
Unique pattern, so many compliments
I rented this with my unlimited subscription so I got a number of wears out of it. It's easy to dress down with sandals or dress up with heels. The 12 wasn't available so I'm wearing the 14, which fit but was a little big. I have a very large bust and it was still roomy so I recommend ordering your true size.
Ivory Meadow Daphne Dress
Tory Burch

Usual Size: 12

Fits like junior sizing
If you have any type of curvy figure this dress is a bust. I rented the XL, although I am typically a Large, and it didn't fit at all. I'm pretty sure this dress is junior sizing or simply made to fit straight-bodied women.

If you're going on a safari...
I really wanted to like this top but the boyfriend look of it was just so masculine on my fuller bust. The second and third buttons are very far apart, as well, so you could see my bra from the side. You'd need to wear this over a dress or with super high waisted jeans unless you want your belly to show.

So pretty and sophisticated
Rent this dress! It was so beautiful and unique. I received a ton of compliments on the unique collar and sleeves. This dress was super comfortable!
