Twirled My Way Into Loving This Dress
I absolutely loved this dress! I had been eyeing it for months, thinking it would be just another rental that I’d wear once and move on from. To my surprise, it completely won me over. The construction was excellent, and the fit couldn’t have been better. At 5'0", finding the right length can be tricky, but this dress hit just right. I paired it with my denim jacket for a casual touch, and it looked so cute. Not going to lie, I twirled around more than a few times just to watch it flow! It’s versatile enough to dress up or down. I’d consider buying it if the price was right. Such a pleasant surprise!

Perfect for Travel and Effortless Style
Cute crochet skirt! I paired it with the matching top and felt effortlessly put together. Since it’s crocheted, I wore a short slip underneath to avoid showing skin, and that worked out perfectly. This set would also pack really well for travel — light, easy, and stylish!

Order one size smaller
I really love this dress! The design is so elegant and the material feels high-quality, which made it a joy to wear. It arrived brand new with tags. The only downside was that it ran a size too large for me. I wore it out anyway, but it didn’t fit quite the way I hoped. I’ll definitely try to rent it again, in a smaller size for a better fit. Overall, though, it’s a beautiful piece and I would absolutely wear it again.

Lovely dress!
This dress is absolutely lovely. The color and design are so unique, and the material feels light and comfortable against the skin. I would love to purchase it and might consider doing so in the future. Based on the material it also looks like it would travel well which would be perfect for a nice dinner when traveling.

Lingerie disguised as a dress
Cara Cara usually nails it with their gorgeous dresses and one-of-a-kind prints—but this one? Whew. “Short” doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’m 5'0" and my entire backside was saying hello to the world. This isn’t a dress, it’s lingerie with ambition. The color is stunning, super bright and eye-catching, but unless you're planning to wear it in a music video or maybe to bed, you might want to rethink it. I considered sizing up (like two sizes) in hopes of gaining a few inches of dignity, but then who knows what else would be hanging loose. Honestly, if I wore this out, I'd need to walk around with a censor bar taped to my behind. Cute? Yes. Practical? NO! Not unless you’re planning to moon the brunch crowd.

Too Short
The fabric is beautiful and feels high quality, which is something I always love about Farm Rio. Unfortunately, this dress was just too short—and I'm only 5'0". I also noticed the stitching on the sides created an awkward, bulky look around the midsection that wasn’t very flattering. I really wanted to make it work and was planning to wear it, but in the end, the length was just too short.

Beautiful but Questionable Design Choice
The colors weren’t as vibrant in person as they appeared in the photos, but I still enjoyed this dress. My main issue was the placement of the patterns—there was a hand design, almost like a Hamsa, positioned right over the butt area, which felt a bit odd and possibly disrespectful. It made the overall design feel awkward. That said, the dress itself was very comfortable, which I did appreciate!

Cute, But Not a Keeper
This top paired nicely with the matching skirt, creating a dress-like look, but I ultimately preferred the skirt on its own with a plain white long-sleeved bodysuit. While the set was cute, I wasn’t blown away by the top—it felt a bit too covered up for regular wear. So, I kept the skirt and sent the shirt back.

A Dress Worth Owning!
This is my second time renting this dress, and it’s absolutely perfect! It’s sexy and curve-hugging without feeling too tight, striking just the right balance. The structure and tailoring are impeccable, making it one of my RTR favorites. I styled it with black open-toe heels, and it looked effortlessly chic. Flattering for curvy figures, this dress is one I’d love to own one day!

Spin in this skirt!
VERY CUTE! I absolutely loved this skirt—it’s a true wrap style and fit beautifully around the waist. It was slightly larger than expected but still totally wearable. I paired it with the matching top for a super cute look, but it also worked effortlessly on its own with a white long sleeve top, making it such a versatile piece. The fabric doesn’t wrinkle easily, which is always a plus. I plan to try one size smaller, and if the fit is perfect, I’ll definitely be purchasing it. So comfortable and effortlessly stylish! Loved spinning in this skirt just to see it flare out!

Caution, SHORT !
This dress was cute, but way too short—even for me at 5'0"! Yikes. I couldn’t bend, squat, or risk a breeze blowing without a wardrobe malfunction, so I ended up only wearing it at home. I rarely have this issue since I’m on the shorter side, but this one just wasn’t wearable outside. Definitely not practical for anything beyond lounging indoors!

I absolutely LOVE this dress and want to purchase it! I ordered one size down from my usual, and the fit was perfect. I wore it while teaching, and it gave me total Ms. Frizzle vibes—stylish, comfortable, and fun. The fabric is high quality, doesn’t wrinkle easily, and made me feel so confident in the classroom. At any moment, I felt like I could say, "Seat belts, everyone! To the bus!" :-) I’ll definitely be renting this one again!

This dress is effortlessly preppy and was perfect for teaching my college students. It had just the right academic feel while still being stylish and polished. I wore it fully buttoned up, which really emphasized the preppy aesthetic. It would also work beautifully for a dinner out when paired with heels and a chic purse. I loved it so much that I have been considering purchasing it, maybe in the future!

As a curvy girl, I found the waist and hip area on this dress to be slightly large and awkwardly cut, but that didn’t stop me from wearing it for a night out—and I’m glad I did! The red color is absolutely stunning and made such a statement. I received so many compliments. Overall, I would rent it again, but I’d recommend sizing one size smaller for a better fit.

Coastal beach beauty !
I loved this dress and wore it for a spa day and lunch—it was both incredibly comfortable and effortlessly elevated. Typically, Tory Burch pieces run too narrow for my curvy shape, but this one fit beautifully in the waist and hip area. Living by the beach, I appreciated how perfect it was for the breezy weather—it looked absolutely gorgeous flowing in the wind. The only downsides were that the arms fit very snug, and the fabric gapped in between the buttons at the chest. I used fashion tape to keep the fabric in place and avoid any wardrobe mishaps. Despite those minor issues, this dress was a stunning and elegant choice!

Winter white!
This sweater is incredibly comfortable with high-quality material that looks effortlessly expensive. I styled it two different ways—first with a green corduroy skirt, black tights, and dark brown/black winter riding boots for a classic cold-weather look. For another outfit, I added a beige Burberry check scarf, which elevated the ensemble into a perfectly polished winter outfit. Versatile, cozy, and chic, this sweater is a great staple for a refined yet effortless style.

XOXO Gossip Girl :-)
I typically wear a size 14, but when I rented this skirt in that size, it was too large. Sizing down to a 12 was a much better fit, though I do have a curvier hip shape. If you have a narrower waist and hips, you might need to go down two sizes for the best fit. I love that the skirt has some stretch while still maintaining a structured, flared-out cut rather than a straight pencil shape—this design makes it flattering for curvier figures. Overall, I loved this skirt! It has such a polished, preppy vibe, very Blair Waldorf.

Curvy girls dream dress!
This wrap dress is a fantastic choice for curvy girls, beautifully accentuating the figure in all the right ways. I wore it twice—once while teaching on a college campus (wore with a jacket) and another time for a night out at a lounge, and it worked well for both occasions. The fit was flattering, though the top might not offer enough coverage for those with a larger chest. Overall, I would have loved to own this dress for vacations or casual city days. It’s versatile enough to pair with heels for a polished look or dress down with white tennis shoes or flat sandals.

This dress was a nice, casual option—perfect for running errands or just lounging at home, which I love to do in pretty dresses. The fit was great, and it was comfortable to wear, but it didn’t quite wow me. While it served its purpose for a relaxed day, it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Statement dress!
This dress is undoubtedly one of my favorite RTR pieces, and I’m thrilled to own it now! It embodies elegance, and made me feel effortlessly refined and regal. I wore it to a Patti LaBelle concert at an upscale theater, and the reaction was unforgettable—people weren’t just glancing; they were genuinely captivated. Compliments came nonstop, and the exquisite tailoring spoke for itself—you could tell it was a luxury piece without ever needing to ask. I loved it so much that I splurged and bought it. This dress is one of the most treasured additions to my wardrobe.

Lovely - Caution for high slit
This skirt was an absolute dream to wear! The length was perfect for my 5'0" curvy frame, flattering in all the right ways. I paired it with a white long-sleeved bodysuit, and the combination was both stylish and incredibly comfortable. I wore it while teaching, but the slit was a bit higher than ideal for a college academia setting—I should have pinned it for work. However, outside of that environment, the skirt was perfect! Elegant, versatile, and something I’d definitely reach for again.

I wore this stunning dress for a theater evening, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The design made me feel incredibly feminine, like royalty, and I received so many compliments throughout the night. The fabric flowed beautifully, adding a touch of elegance to every movement. The only issue was that the shoulders/bust area were a bit large, but fashion tape worked perfectly to keep everything in place. Despite that minor adjustment, I loved wearing it and definitely want to purchase it for myself one day!

This purse is absolutely adorable—preppy, chic, and the perfect accessory for a polished look. I used it several times and paired it with a matching pearl headband, which made the whole outfit even more stylish. As a longtime Gossip Girl fan, this bag gave me all the Blair Waldorf vibes while also feeling very Emily in Paris! It’s such a cute and timeless piece that adds a touch of style to any outfit.

Love this dress! It fit comfortably. I'm short so I used fabric tape to create a slight hem because the length was long. Also used fashion tape to help hold the neckline down and it worked perfectly and looked beautiful.

Very small and tight
Very beautiful color dress. However, it is very small. I ordered a size up and it wouldn't close over my hips and butt. If you have a butt and hips I would avoid this dress. The size 16 fit more like a size 12.

It was a very pretty color however, I sized up one size and the bottom was still much more narrow than the top. The top was baggy but then the bottom was tight and I couldn't wear it unfortunately.
