Perfect if you're going for the oversized look. I'd say order your normal size and lean into it.

Great... as a shirt
I wore this a lot as a shirt. Way too short to be a dress but it was very cute to tuck in the liner and let the mesh fall outside of some barrel jeans for a funky look paired with boots. I received compliments every time.

Thin but nice
Great for work. I wore it on a winter day that was on the warmer side and it worked but I'd say it was more a fall or spring dress. Fit TTS. Slightly skimming in the midsection so if you're self conscious about that area, might skip or wear shapewear. I didn't and it was fine.

Felt great
Sexy without being too revealing. Loved the thumb holes in the sleeves. The color was great and the slightly warped pattern made it just a bit more unique. Would rent again and considered buying but it may have been too memorable.

Pretty but needs a pin
Looked cute on for a vacation brunch but definitely needs a little pin as the top is wide open without it. It looked as though it might be sheer from the site but in person a neutral bra underneath was perfect. Not too see through.

Loved this so much I seriously considered keeping. Perfect in every way. Wore to work and while traveling and it holds up. Paired with sneakers and a jean jacket. It's structured but not stiff. Fitting but not tight.

Sized down but shouldn't have
I'm usually an XL in everything but based on reviews I sized down to a M. That worked just fine in the body -- I could see how the XL would've been massive there -- but because the straps aren't adjustable, the M was a tad too snug under the arms. Wore as a coverup so not a big deal but when I rent again (definitely getting it again) maybe I'll just size down one size to the L.

Perfect length, perfect fit in leg, tight in waist
Would've loved to buy these pants but they were a bit too snug in the waist for me. They fell beautifully, perfect for tall folks. Wore with a slightly cropped, fitted top while on vacation and it was a great look. Only problem is with sitting and eating, they became uncomfy pretty quickly. I'd only rent these again if I were going to be standing the entire time. Bummer.

Couldn’t make it work
Overall, cute dress. I knew it’d be challenging with a large bust but I had to see in person. Nope. Barely fabric to cover unless you want em pressed flat. Save yourself the hassle and the rental spot

Get it
I have zero complaints about this dress, it was a winner. I’m tall (5’11”) and no issue with the straps slipping. The split did hit a bit high but the dress is already drama so I don’t think you should blush at the split. Even through dancing all my bits remained covered. I’m a true 14 and this fit TTS. My chest was secure with no bra, no tape and there was zero slippage and minimal need to adjust throughout the night. So many compliments! I felt strong and sexy in this for my bday.

Perfect, stretchy, sexy
I felt like a million bucks in this dress. From the moment I put it on I knew it was the one. It’s form fitting but flattering, highlighting my curves. The cut out was perfectly placed. I’d buy it but it’s expensive. Thinking about it though…

Cute tunic top, not a DRESS on me
I'm 5'11. This is not a dress that you can wear alone. Wore it with shorts underneath that were definitely visible. I also have thick thighs... the last few buttons were not possible lol, so that also took it out of the dress zone for me. Nonetheless, it was cute to wear with shorts, comfortable, and I will wear it again with leggings before returning.

Oversized, Stylish
Collegiate cool girl vibes. Super oversized with long sleeves and big cuffs which I needed to fold and repeatedly push up all day. It can look a little pill-y but it's not, that's just the coloring of the sweater - golden speckles over the black and brown parts. I definitely could've sized down but I liked it oversized and could also belt it for a cute look.

Just alright, not for bra-wearers
It's a nice basic dress. Only one pocket, which is... a choice. I thought it was flattering on but the top area is really narrow so chances of finding a bra to wear with this are almost nil. I tried on three different types including a racer back and the arm holes were cut so far into the breast area that any bra would show. The best option was a brown bandeau but that wasn't the look I wanted from this dress. If you NEED a bra, then you probably don't WANT this dress.

Flattering!!!
I didn’t end up wearing this for the night out as planned (went with another choice) but wish I had somewhere else to wear this. + Super comfortable and flattering for curves + Can wear regular undergarments + lovely color + perfect for tall peeps + sexy without being overly revealing It is sparkly but that’s perfect for a night out or fancy event. It’s definitely not casual.

TTS and super cute
Loved this as soon as I put it on. Would purchase but don't see getting a ton of wear out of it. It fit great, was light despite the sherpa fabric. Elastic at arms and waist were flattering and not too tight.

Some people find this cut/fit to be childish but I love it. Oversized, boxy, with pockets. Not too short for tall people. Holds its shape. Could tend toward candy striped or peppermint if not styled properly

Rent This
This dress looks like it won't be much but it's really great. Very comfortable and POCKETS! Though it's in the "fashionable sack" realm of clothing (which I love, btw), it's definitely polished. Wore with boots like on the model to work. Compliments from my boss and coworkers. Felt totally confident and put together in this piece which is excellent for early fall weather.

Surprised it wasn't all white
I had this shirt saved for a while and never realized it wasn't 100% white. It has pale green stripes all over, which I had mistaken for white pleats/stripes. Oh well, still wore it with some jeans to work. The shirt fit but could've been a tad roomier in the arms. Points for it being long enough for my arms though so I didn't have to roll the sleeves. This isn't anything special. One basic wear and that's it. Not a "wow" piece but a light, semi-sheer top for everyday.

Nice quality leather. Beautiful dark khaki green color.
This was a cute bag that could fit a lot, even my laptop and notepad. However, it kept slipping off of my shoulder and I was constantly adjusting. The strap isn't right in the middle of the bag, it's a little offset and favors one side more than the other. This makes it a bit awkward to carry depending on what's inside. There's only one inside pocket, though the bag does include an attached wallet/soft zipper case. I usually prefer an outside pocket to easily grab my phone, metrocard, etc. I did find that I had to dig into this bag quite a bit to find what I was looking for, which is annoying. But very cute bag, nonetheless.

Not terrible but a bit much on ruffles
This runs big. The ruffled straps seemed like a good idea but were really overwhelming in person. The dress material is kind of stiff. A lot of RTR stuff is though so I think it's the cleaning process, IDK. But it's like a big wrinkly, crinkly, bag. I don't like belted looks but a belt is really the only way to wear this. That being said, I didn't even pack it. It wasn't my style.

Doesn't feel very good
Super stiff. It's supposed to be boxy but this is kind of ridiculous. Points for it being a larger size that actually fits curvier women. But I couldn't make this look cool at all. Like wearing burlap.

Barely got over my hips
Nah. Nope. Nothing like the baggy, comfy dress I saw on the site. Tight, short, no forgiveness. Could almost wear as a shirt but the hem was too narrow and long. Don't do it to yourself if you're a 12-14!

Warm and stylish
Loved this. Rented to wear in Joshua Tree in the winter when the desert's quite cold. It went with everything, was very warm, and gave me a throwback feel. I can see how others might find it bulky but I think that's the intended look. The orange bit can shed slightly but nothing crazy.

Wore this for a casual bday dinner with jeans and boots. Perfect for full chests and soft middles. Adjustable with the string tie. Added a pin to the neckline but didn't NEED it, just being safe. Will rent again. Oh I will say it looked velvet on the site but was not. Still cute pattern though.

Lots of compliments. Easy to wear
Just a good dress. Throw it on and look put together in a second. Sleeves are a little odd in the ruching but that's the style and didn't get in the way for me though I could see it being difficult for dancing. Material is thin but not see through. Fine for NYC fall weather. Lace hem was gorgeous but slightly worn in some spots though I doubt anyone but me noticed.

Lightweight + Pockets!
Very light for a hot summer day. Had to use two small safety pins for the gaping above the tie-waist but also could be remedied by wearing a tank underneath. The fabric is not quite see through but you should wear neutral undergarments anyway to be safe as it is quite light/thin. pockets are always a plus. Wore to work (as evidenced by my joyful breakroom pic) and it was totally appropriate. Only criticism is the gaping buttons and the armholes which are kind of snug but not uncomfy.

Bright and fun, with pockets!
Wore this to an outdoor event with a yellow dress code. Perfect for sitting on a blanket in the park in August. Pockets were clutch (as usual) and held my phone without dragging down the silhouette. The opening was a bit low but I didn't mind. the center of my bra peeked out a bit but it was flesh-toned and not a huge deal to me. I thought the waist was cute, albeit a little big. Nothing a small belt couldn't handle. Lots of compliments. Easy to wear. Would definitely rent again. Someone should tell this company that a 14 (my usual rental size) is NOT a 3XL!! Sheesh.

Comfortable weekend wear
Loved this. If it wasn't so expensive for what it is, I'd definitely buy. Very comfortable. Has pockets! Wore with no bra in spite of my large breasts. A strapless bra really didn't go with the easy breezy feeling I wanted. Great pattern. Lots of flowy space. Some people might think it makes them shapeless but I love this look. A sack, but make it fashion. Wore a fanny pack with it so I guess that cinched the waist a bit but that wasn't my intent. Would rent again.

Youthful dress with fit issues. Careful of the wind!
This was cute and I did receive compliments but I was uncomfortable all day. It was a windy day and I was constantly concerned that my butt was going to show. The flouncy skirt was getting picked up by the slightest breeze. Despite being a size 14, it was tight up top, particularly in the armpit and breast area (though I was surprised the buttons didn't gap). Raising one's arms would not be an option due to tightness there and the dress' length. The sleeves are a weird length. Not long enough to be normal and not short enough to be 3/4. So I wore them rolled up.

"Like a dress with a secret"
Wore to work. Tons of compliments. A colleague said "it's like a dress with a secret!" The longer sleeve was good for office AC but the dress was lightweight enough for spring. A little short on me so I wore it with black leggings, though tights would've sufficed.

Great weekend dress
Wore this for a day of brunch, museum, and other activities for my bf's bday. Dress was a lovely pop of color that was breezy and comfy to wear all day long. I DID have to put in two small safety pins due to gapping in the bust and the waist area but that's not uncommon. The waist was beautiful by the way, nipping you in and creating shape without being corset-tight. Wore with sneakers.
