Silky Material, Not Great For Hot Weather, But OK
I got this for lounging around my apartment this summer. It fits like a muumuu and I personally didn't find it very flattering. It was comfortable in the sense that it was oversized and the material was silky but it's a little thick for hot weather. I don't regret renting it, but I won't rent it again.

Comfortable fit, but the fabric was disappointing
The brown was not as vibrant as it is in the picture. It's more of a mousey-brown, a little on the grayer side. I was also disappointed the pleats were barely visible. Other reviews mention that the dress is see-through, I didn't notice that. I thought the fit was fairly flattering (I'm pear-shaped, so it highlighted my slimmer top and downplayed my hips), and the fabric was stretchy and comfortable.

Fit and style are great, but I really didn't like the fabric
The fabric is plastic-y and uncomfortable and the wrinkles don't fall out of the fabric.

Fine for a hot day running errands, not for an event
I wore it for running errands and doing house work because it was very light and loose--so it was comfy. But it was not flattering. It kind of fit like a sack, the straps wouldn't stay up, and you can't tell from the picture on the model, but IRL the neck is weird. If you are looking for house dress that's comfy and semi-cute during Covid, try it out! If you're looking for something to wear to an event, pass on this one.

Loved it! But the shoulders are, aggressive.
Loved the waistline, the back, the fit, the fabric! If there was one thing that made me feel a little weird was the shoulders. They give the impression of wearing shoulder pads, and I found that a bit off putting. I probably would not buy this dress for that reason but it was fun to wear a few times and return!
Black Cut Out Midi Dress

Super Flattering!
Fits very nicely. It almost has a sort of empire waistline, it sat right under my chest and above my stomach. The high waistline combined with the flow-y skirt meant it was very forgiving after eating a large brunch. The waistband is elastic, so it was comfy too!! The fabric is heavy, and it's long -- probably meant to be worn with heels. I am about 5'5" and I had to carry the skirt while walking around outside.

Nice but a little thick
The thickness of the fabric is probably what makes it drape so well -- and that's great! But for a T-shirt I was surprised at how uncomfortably hot I was wearing it.

Comfortable, perfect for spring
Comfortable loose fit. Heavier fabric and long sleeves make it best for spring or cooler summer mornings.

Cute & Easy, Perfect For Hot Days
The volume is great for hot days — it's loose and airy. The eyelet fabric, ruffle hem, buttons, and tie straps, also give it enough character that it feels like an outfit, and not just like you are wearing a shapeless sack. One negative: The fabric isn't *soft.* It's very textured, which is beautiful, but it doesn't feel amazing against your skin if you're laying round in it (which I know many of us are during the Covid era). It's better for being active in because it will keep you cool and doesn't touch your skin as mcuh.

Love the style but runs a bit small
Easy to wear, a great yellow that's not too intense. I found it tight through the hips though so I'm planning to size up.

Straps are long, seems to be ment for longer torso
When I recurved this the straps were tied up and I was annoyed, but upon untying them I could see why they were like that-- the straps are very long and not adjustable. What's worse tho is that the long straps make the bodice fit funny -- the cut seems to be meant for someone with a long torso. Fabric and print are beautiful tho and I do plan on wearing it anyhow, probably wouldn't rent again though.

Nice, but a bit costume-y, and see through
If this is your style you'll probably love it. It's very nice! Just be sure to have the right undergarments on hand because it is very see through.

Loved it so much I bought it
Fit and length is stunning! I wear RTR 4 times a week but this was this piece I got the most compliments on! The wrap waist is SO flattering, the V-neck and length is very elongating, and it looks great with sneakers and heels.

Cool, great for all seasons, but size up
I layered this over a turtleneck and wore it with boots but I think it'd look just as nice with sandals. I was surprised that it ran a bit small -- the slip was uncomfortably tight around my hips-- but since the top layer of fabric is flow-y no one could tell it was a bit small. The one I got did look a bit worn, but I'd still rent again.

Loved it -- but it is very small! That may not be a bad thing, but I was surprised by how small it was.

Cool but strange color
Loved the design but the gold color is a bit ... off? It was not was I expected --a bit darker, maybe a bit orangey? -- but I could see some people liking that. Just wasn't what I was looking for.

Simple but exceeded expectations!
I wasn't expecting much but I ended up loving it! It looked great (not your average dumpy sweater) and it was very comfy! It was tempting to buy it and I'd def rent it again.

Amazing, super flattering fit! Aesthetic won't be everyone's cup of tea
I loved the fit, but I'd say the length looks best with heels. The fabric was interesting but it's old drapes look won't be for everyone.

Cozy weekend piece, nothing super special
I liked it!! It's cozy and trendy but ultimately nothing too interesting. The one I got was def well-worn before it got to me, but I'd rent again for a cold weekend running errands

The best fitting dress pants I've ever worn (most comfortable, too)
These pants have amazing stretch and recovery. I typically need to get pants tailored to fit my hips and waist (I'm pear shaped) but these fit like a glove. Wore them several times and they never got stretched out. I will say, the thick fabric lends it's self more to cooler temps; I wouldn't recommend them in July.
