Lightweight and Elegant
I rented this to wear as my coat to a black tie wedding. It has a nice sheen to it and I think is perfect for something like this. It runs a little large - I wear a size 12 and I would say it fits decent over my chest but runs large everywhere else. I would probably have rented the Large just to have a more slimming look but the XL works ok. It's very thin, not warm at all but perfect to wear for a night out!

Everyone else loves this
I've never gotten so many compliments on a coat before from random strangers and i don't get it. It is a nice coat, has fun sleeves but I am not as in love with it as everyone else seems to be. It's a little snug on my chest so if I rent again I would probably size up to an XL. I like the neckline because you don't have to wear a scarf. It's thin but surprisingly warm!

LOVE this blouse! It fits great, is a fun print and is just something you can wear often. I have gotten so many complements on it too. Love this!

This is a BRIGHT and shiny green. I wore it to work, it was fine, but everyone kept saying "wow that's green." It's very pretty and I would say runs true to size or slightly large. Not my favorite rental but it's great if you want something eye catching with color!

Cute but runs small
I was so excited when this arrived - the material was unexpected, heavier with a sheen but I liked it. Unfortunately it fits a big snug and shows everything so I'd need to size up! I'll probably order again in an XL (normally wear a L)

Gaping Top leaves large chest too exposed
Colors are gorgeous, length is nice but the amount of fabric on the bottom is bulky and unflattering. The top however is the real issue - I am not sure what size chest would work in this dress because the top is gaping wide open but yet it has room for a chest so if you have a small chest I could see it being too roomy but if you have a large chest you're fully exposed. Not for me

Beautiful colors but quite short!
The overall fit of this is spot on - right now I'm about a size 10/12 and I rented the XL. It cinches your waist in creating a beautiful shape. The top is sheer so you can see your bra but it wasn't in a distatesteful way so I didn't mind. Only down side is it is SHORT!! I'm 5'2" and found it quite short so taller ladies beware. Colors are gorgeous - I paired with an orange Furla bag from RTR and it complemented the dress nicely

I felt great in this dress! I added another safety pin at the bust just to be sure it kept closed but you may not need it as it already has a button clasp. Surprising color that was really flattering. I'm 160 lbs 5'2'' with Full chest.

Rented the 8 b/c I'm between an 8 and a 10 depending on the fit in the bust and the 8 was HUGE, fit more like a dress. It's pretty material and a gorgeous color, I would probably try renting again in a smaller size

Gorgeous Color!
So many compliments on this dress!!! I'd say this runs somewhere between true to size and running a little small so I'd definitely size up or if you're between sizes wear the larger size. I wore spanx and a corset style bra b/c the dress really fits like a glove but is thin so can see all imperfections underneath. If you have petite proportions and don't have a large chest it may be too big up top, I probably could have pinned the shoulder but for the most part filled out the top and just had to pull it up a few times. The color is BEAUTIFUL - was such a standout dress

Favorite Work Dress Rental So Far!
I love this dress, it fit PERFECTLY!! I'm probably between a size 8/10 right now depending on the designer, and I find overall that Rebecca Taylor allows for more room and is a great option for curvier women. I have an hour glass shape with a larger chest so the chest fit perfectly for me. Lots of compliments and I'll definitely rent again! One downside is it does wrinkle easily - not everywhere, but when you sit for a long time the mid section is more wrinkly like thin suiting material.

Not right for me but a pretty blue!
I don't have the right body type for this dress. I'm short with an hourglass shape and so the top fabric hides not only my chest but my waist because I'm so short waisted. My husband said it turned me into a lamp shade and I agree! I'm sure if you have a longer torso or are a different shape this would work but it hid my favorite parts of my body rather than accentuated so I didn't wear.

Past it's prime
I'm sure this dress was beautiful when it originally started circulating but the size 10 I received needs to be taken out of circulation. It has been cleaned so many times it's not even a pretty yellow anymore, you can't see the pretty design on the material it's so faded and worst of all the boning in the top is no longer secured in the fabric so the sharp sticks are exposed and poked my skin. I was zipping it up to try it on and screamed in pain. Do not rent - this needs to be taken out of circulation before someone gets hurt by the boning!

Don't bother unless you're a size 8 or smaller
I am SO bummed I couldn't wear this! I'm a true size 10 right now (5'2'', 157 lbs, 34G, hour glass shape) and the dress zipped fine but was definitely snug across my hips so i decided not to wear. It is BEAUTIFUL though. My weight fluctuates a lot so I hope I can rent this again when I'm back down to my regular weight (size 6-8) but even then I'd still be ordering a Large! Not sure why the sizing is so small on these one but it's too bad!

Beautiful but runs small!
Size up 1-2 sizes depending on your figure! My weight fluctuates a lot but right now I'm a true size 10 (5'2'', 157 lbs, hour glass, 34G). I wore a size 12 and it fit great! It pulled slightly at my chest but not gaping, and I didn't need to wear anything underneath. Material is beautiful and I have gotten lots of compliments on it! I think this would be flattering on most shapes, it accentuates waist, I'll definitely rent again!

Universally Flattering
I can't imagine this not looking good on someone. Right now I"m a true size 10 (5'2'', 160, 34G, hourglass). It fits perfectly over my chest and then fits like a sheath style. It's roomier in my waist than I like but since I'm wearing it for work I'm not trying to look sexy, just polished and it's perfect! I would not wear this for a night out, but you could wear it from day to night. I really love this and think it would look great on a lot of different shapes and sizes!

Beautiful colors and great shape!
Draper James runs all over the place in size for me but I'm still a HUGE fan! I've worn size 6 - 10, XS, S, Medium in her clothes so I wasn't sure how this would fit. This is a TRUE TO SIZE dress however and I was pleasantly surprised! My weight fluctuates a lot but right now I"m a true size 10, 160 lbs, hour glass shape. It's a really pretty print and a universally flattering shape.

Beautiful color and shape!
I'm sad I didn't get to wear this but it ran smaller than I thought. My weight fluctuates but right now I'm a true size 10 at the moment (5'2'', 160, hourglass/full bust) and it was SNUG almost everywhere. I'd suggest a size up. It's a beautiful color though and I liked the structure in terms of where it would have been fitted and where it should be loser. I'd rent in a larger size!

Comfortable and great neckline!
My weight fluctuates a lot so right now I'm 160, wear a size 10 and in this top I wore a Medium. I love this! I got so many compliments when I whore this! It's a great material, a nice amount of stretch where you can easily wear it for different sizes. I love the neck - it's bulkier than a normal turtleneck and makes it more on trend. It's shinier metallic threading than I was expecting, however you mostly just notice this up close, in the distance it's more subtle. I'd rent this again!

Beautiful print but bad fit on top
The print is stunning!! I ended up wearing this dress to a wedding and wanted to love it more but was uncomfortable most of the night. The top like other users suggest does have a surprising amount of room (i wear a 34F) but it's cut low - so if you have petite proportions it exposes too much skin on top and your boobs spill out. I think this would look best on a taller person who has a C or D sized chest bc they would fill out the top better

Beautiful print and great fit!
I wore this to my bachelorette party and just loved it! I shop at Draper James often and normally wear an 8 there so was surprised to see the 6 fit better - so I would say this runs a little big. The print is so vibrant in person and I got lots of compliments on it! Works great on many shapes of women - I'm more of an hourglass with a full bust and another friend is pear shaped with no bust and we both rented it at different times and it looked great on both of us!

One of my favorite rentals of all time!
This dress is incredibly flattering. I've put on a little weight recently and was getting ready to celebrate my birthday so wanted to feel good. Normally I wear a size 8 but I figured a 10 would be closer to where I am right now. This dress was just beautiful on and made me feel so confident - the material is really nice - thick but doesn't add volume, you can tell the construction of the dress is well made. I have a 34F chest and have an hourglass shape so I'm always looking for clothes that have room up top and are fitted and this dress was just perfect! It is short - but I'm 5'2'' so wasn't a problem for me. Will definitely rent this again - I LOVE IT

Not a great fit for short, full chested women
I'm 5'2'' and currently 150 lbs and wear an 8 usually but the comments said the dress ran small so I ordered a 10 and a 12. The 10 would not zip and the 12 would zip but was ill fitting. I have a short torso, and a full bust (34F). The dress was overwhelming for my frame, it was a lot of fabric to cover a small area because it does run short (and I'm short!) and the sleeves are long (especially for a short person). I think this dress would be really beautiful on someone with more standard proportions (someone who doesn't have to size up because of one feature on their body).

A good back-up when all else fails
I needed a dress for a rehearsal dinner and couldn't find anything I liked. This seemed to have enough feminine charm to it but wasn't over the top. I ordered the M and the L. They both fit - the M was a bit more fitted and had better structure and support. It was a little smaller on the bust but still looked nice. The L didn't look as good - it was too loose all over even though probably fit better for me in the bust but around my waist was too baggy. This is a great dress if you just need a basic black dress - it's a good go-to back-up option

If you're looking for statement earrings to add just the right amount of bling but not be over the top then you've found them! These are beautiful - I've rented them twice and should probably just buy them!

Tight! But beautiful color
The color of this dress is gorgeous but curvy girls be warned this is a snug dress. I usually wear a size 6 or 8 and ordered a size 10 for back-up b/c I know this designed runs small. I could barely zip up the size 10 and it showed every bump. I have an hour glass figure (37-28-37 and I'm 5'2''). I think I have the wrong body type for this dress and am not sure going up another size would work. Too bad - I love the color and the shape as shown on the model is really beautiful!

Runs Small - Amazing color
I rented this for my engagement pictures and was bummed it didn't fit. I fluctuate between a size 6 and 8 and should have ordered a size 10. The material is beautiful and the fabric has a nice stretch. I was able to zip the size 8 but it looked a little snug on top. The bottom of the dress lays flatter than what is shown on the model - it looks like a circle skirt on the model but actually lays flat across and is really nice - so if you have an hourglass shape this dress is actually perfect b/c it skims over your hips and flares out just the right amount without adding volume.

Wore this dress to a wedding with blue pumps- got so many compliments on it. It's figure flattering, easy to wear and great color. Order your back up size one size smaller- I could have work a size down but there was a small stain on the size 10
