Cozy and stylish for Easter in the Mountains!
Nicely quilted on the inside for insulation, warm and cozy and was perfect for Easter in a resort mountain town for Easter! I loved the plush removable fur collar as we actually got snow on Easter and it was perfectly warm! It did run large but it was part of the fun to layer up on snowy days and remove collar and wear over a tee shirt and jeans on the warmer days.

Stylish but a winter weight...
Updated styling so its more than an ordinary blazer. But, it is heavy and a lot of material so it is for winter or as a fall jacket over jeans and a turtleneck or sweater. It is oversized and bulky but I did enjoy wearing it.

nice fabric and well made.
This shirtdress has a large collar so it wears kinda 70s retro but was versatile over leggings with tall over the knee boots. The fabric was dreamy. Silky and stretchy!

Lovely fabric.
This adorable shift was perfect for date night over leggings with a leather moto jacket and block heel booties. The neckline is a tad low but I wore a cami underneath. There is no stretch but the fabric is like a tiny floral pattern with gold threads. It was silky and fun to wear.

Nice winter wrap.
The color in the photo is deceiving - I was thinking the top part was black but it was more of a loden green. It went fine with black turtleneck but it wasn't a match. It was warm and cozy to throw over any winter outfit for added pzazz.

Comfy and kicky knit dress to break up the winter doldrums for a date night!
Fit was body hugging but so comfy and the fabric held its shape and was thick and high quality - super comfy and casual yet can be dressed up with a fur collar or knit wrap and tall boots.

amazing quality and style but with ridiculous front buttons.
True to size elegant dress that can skew funeral-ish but those front buttons? UGH. They were unnecessary and frustrating. There is a back zipper so the front buttons are frustrating as the buttons are too small for the button holes and they just pop open. I wore a black camisole underneath, kept those buttons open and wore a fun brooch at the waist.

Comfy. Easy breezy.
The fun details made this a great dress for everyday and dressing up for fun! I loved the pop of red on the cuff and hem for the holidays! It has a lot of stretch so don't worry when it arrives compact. High quality. Loved this dress.

Sparkly and Stretchy!
The dress was a wonderful design for those who like to hide the tummy or not wear spanx. It was a bit flimsy material and not sure how it would retail $1600 but it is CS afterall and I love his designs for curvy women in mind. The top is very low cut so I tried it with a sparkly shrug and also with a black silk blouse with puffy sleeves but I just couldn't make it work.

Conservative from the front, party in the back!
This is a lovely lace dress from the front and in the back is a more sheer lace panel. With a lacy bralette - it was a surprise from the back. I loved that the dress was very elegant and a unique gorgeous emerald color. Paired with a leopard shawl, it was dressed down for a wine tasting event. Well constructed and not your average little black dress!

Stunning Style. Amazing textile.
Not your typical LBD, this navy number was fun, flirty and very stylish. The fabric was gorgeous, thick, textured and elastic so it hugs the body but I loved it. My MIL said it looked very Chanel and that I should have purchased it!

LBD. Emphasis on Little.
Tight through the hips and big on top. Usually this designer is generous but this was not for curvy women, even an 18. It was gorgeous but even if it did fit thru the hips, I would need a shrug or jacket on top as it was too big. Well made, gorgeous but for slimmer figures.

Fun leather look for a party night
I believe my sizing may be a 16+ but this almost fit...but, I did wear it open like a duster over a black t-shirt, legging and shoe botties! I was super cute and 10 pounds less it would have been a fun dress with great style that is on trend with a real leather look and puff sleeves!

Casual jacket with sweater layer
The fit was a little off - and there was no give or stretch in the arms and it felt tight when I moved my arms outward. It was super cute with jeans, flats and a t-shirt; unique design with a jacket style on top and a sweater layer below the waistline.

While not too big or too body con - this stretchy dress with beautiful plum color hit in the right places; no spanx needed and wore with a leather jacket for date night with my husband - Fuzzi may just become my favorite designer to rent!

This is not a warm coat and wears like a fuzzy bathrobe but it styled well with a white blouse, leggings and tall boots. A little tight in the shoulders - no stretch.

This was perfect for an evening fundraiser at the Four Seasons Chicago.
The Pros: gorgeous material for the top and nice, draping pants that hit at ankle for a glam feel. the Cons: It's a jumpsuit with zipper up the back. Not easy if you're drinking and have to use the ladies room more than once in a given evening. I wore it with an Obi sash and I had to take the whole outfit off each time and reach up to the zipper and pray nothing fell into the toilet during this whole operation. I wish pantsuits were designed with Velcro rip away crotch for ease of using the ladies room.

Perfect for my Husband's Holiday Work Party
I loved this dress! The color was rich and the fit was perfect. I loved the stretch in this fabric as it was so comfy. The cold shoulder and draping was festive without being fussy or over the top. Perfect with tall suede boots and drop earrings!

Gorgeously made but was damaged in my size
This dress is a bit matronly but beautifully made. I thought I could update it with fun drop earrings and tall, over-the-knee suede boots. Unfortunately, the weather was so wintery that I had to wear flat boots and a cashmere cardigan over the dress so it was pretty but matronly. Other reviews said it ran large, but I maybe put on weight over the holidays but it ran true to size to me. Also, the lace sleeves in my size had tiny rips/holes. I didn't have time to ask for a replacement but this is the first time I was disappointed with the apparent damage in a rented garment.

Comfortable and Dazzling!
My original order was not available and the backup dress I ordered in my usual size was also not available. So, Ladies: Return your dresses on time and in a condition where major repairs are not necessary! I was disappointed and luckily, the second back up dress size was a size larger and while not a perfect fit, it fit fine. It was big on top and I kept adjusting the hangar straps which should be cut off all dresses. The good thing, RTR also sent me my third back up dress in my original size and that fit fine but chose to wear this stunning sparkler with long drop earrings and tall suede stiletto boots. Loved it!

Love this dress! It brings the unexpected!
I wore this for a special date night on our wedding anniversary to a upscale casual restaurant and paired it with tall (over the knee) Stiletto suede boots and a cropped jean jacket and layered dainty gold chains! It is so comfy and the detailing at the bottom really adds to the otherwise simple sweater dress!

Super comfy and well made casual dress!
I wore this dress to our yacht club's annual review of the fleet and paired it with white leather sneakers and cropped white cardigan. It was so cute and super comfy and the illusion of the slant was very flattering. The slit was a little high but nothing too scandalous!

So Many Compliments! I loved the way it made me feel!
I wore this dress for a black tie Gatsby themed wedding and paired it with two long strands of pears and a simple peacock feather in my hair! I received so many compliments even that two wedding guests informally dubbed me the best dressed at the wedding! I loved the flow, feel and draping of this dress especially when I danced with my husband. The dress was simply so well made and just fit me like a glove! What a lovely garment that enhanced a wonderful evening!

Loved this casual but kicky dress! So comfy
Super comfy, no spanx needed do to the flare skirt. Nice lines. Flattering! I wore with sassy high heels and a studded jean jacket for a fun dinner out with hubby and friends! It was a nice fabric that does not wrinkle. Then wore to work with a blazer and pearls! So versatile!

The fabric and fit are fantastic! All stretchy material. Nothing binding or stiff seams.
The fabric is FAR more gorgeous than on photos. Its a rich texture with the glimmer of gold tones over the red. The crinoline under the skirt will always keep it in a mermaid shape. This is so comfortable!

The dress fit like a glove. Love the A-line skirt to hide the hips and no spanx required!
The dress is truly a bubble gum pink but on-trend! I toned it down a bit and paired with a saddle brown and beige classic handbag and saddle brown high heeled sandals. Perfect for a rooftop cocktail party this summer!
